The Indian wears his blanket on the
hottest summer days. His theory e

it will keep out the heat in summer

While he might not care to buy
anything else expensive, the price OF
a suitable blanket is never questioned.
but it would be difficult indeed to de.
ceive him as to the texture of any robe.
"A squaw will intimate almost any
thing that pleases her fancy, but in
the matter of her blanket or shawl,
she exhibits an unusual amount of
individuality. With great care and
patience, she designs her blanket, and
when she places the order with the
mill man he does not dare duplicate
it until she has had an opportunity to
wear it.
IF she makes the Request that it
shall not be duplicated her wishes
are regarded, because it is the one ar
ticle she possesses in which exclusive
ness is much coveted, and also be-
cause what would please one suuaw
would not appear at all attractive 20

THE lightweight shawl or blanket
is thrown over the head of the souaw.
and unless she is able to purchase a
bright colored silk ferchief it will
serve as her only bonnet as well. 1t
is Just as common a sight now to sec
the papoose securely bound on the
back of its mother by a portion of
her blanket as it used to be to see
the wee head of the Indian babe peep
ing from the texas, or frame cradle. "

general, are keenly anticipating the
appearance of the new novel, which,
it is understood, was found among the
Counts papers.

cording to a Russian correspondent,

forsakes the world, and, entering

Their Sergius. Slowly the bruised heart
of the novice RECEIVERS sympathy with
all creatures and wonderful things

then told by the famous Russian au-
thor, who gets to the quick of init

Father Sergius, in pursuit of per-

| The second part of the novel deals
with the age-long struggle between

SECOND SIGHT.
An Apparition That Was a Messenger
of Death,

OF beatns
The third Lord Tempetown used to
tell Of an extraordinary and really au-
thentic case of second sight. His
brother, Henry Upton, the second WIS.,
count, was with his regiment abroad
when he and several brother officers
saw an old friend wearing trousers
and shirt only pass through the mess
room to another room from which
there was no outlet. They followed
and saw nobody, and the sentry per-
sisted that no person had entered.
Henry Upton wrote to his brother,
afterward third viscount, to request
him to 60 to their friends lodgings in
London and find out what he was do
ing at such and such an hour on GER
tain day. The brother in London COM
piled and found that their friend had
died, but not on the day he had been
seen abroad.
Later the landlady was asked on
oath as to the date and hour of death
and whether he had died in white
shirt with blue check. After some
demur she confessed that her lodger
did not die when she first stated, but
on the day when his friends had seen
him pass through the mess room.
1t seems the date of demise had
been falsif1ed on account of his pen
sion, which was almost all his family
had to depend upon. And he died in
a white shirt with blue check. his
landlady having lent one Of her hus-
bands to him on the morning of his
death.-London Court journal.

STILL DRAGGING

DECIDES MNAMARA AT.
ToRNEYs CAN'T CHALLENGE
DEATH PENALTY AVERSION.

Los Angeles, Oct. 31.-Court con-
Eened in the Mcnamara trial today
without visible reminder that the Los
Angeles primary election was beng
held and that Job Hartman Of coun-
sci for the defense was seeking the
mayoralty nomination. Hartman vas
absent, but this has often been the
case during most of the closing days
of the primary fight 1t was said that
he would remain in the case regard
less of the outcome of the primary
and final election.
Frank Frakes, an Elizabeth Lake
farmer, with a laugh which infected
the courtroom, was the first talesman
to be examined when court opened
today. F'rakes said he took a weekly
paper only and was too far away from
the scene of the disaster to be posi-
tive in his opinions about what. had
caused it. The defense interrogated
him about conversation he was sup
posed to have had with warehouse
man at Lancaster, but Frakes said he
did not remember.
1t was known definitely at the open
ing of court today that under Judge
Bordwell's rulings, the defense viii!
have to get along without exercising
challenges against talesmen on the
ground that they are opposed to the
inliction of the death penalty, it be-
ing held that the challenge can be
exercised only by the state.
How far any jurors opinion may
disqualify him from serving on the
jury still remains question for the
court to decide.
