 CANADIAN S0L0NS

Ottawa. Ont, March 17.-"My hon. orable friend Is liar, absolutely 8 liar" thundered Glen Campbell. the conservative member for Dauphin, Manitoba six-foot western giant, in the house of commons today. One of the most tense situations and exciting scenes ever witnessed in the house of parliament followed.
 The house was in committee and Mir Nicely of Humboldt, Alberta, In the course of a speech declared that Glen Campbell, on public platform, had admitted bribing a government official to get grazing lease.

 is indicated in tonights dispatches reporting the progress of the pri- vate car Hidalgo through Texas. Senor Limantour could not be seen and members of his party will have nothing to say.
 At Marshall tw" of the party were told that report had it that the insurrectos planned to burn the bridges to hinder the progress of the minister. The information brought a frown but no comment In connection with the secrecy maintained an interesting story has gained credence that the Hidalgo is : now only travelling as a ruse, that the minister preceded 1t on a spe- cial train and was met here yester- day by Receiver Freeman of the International and Great Northern in his private car which proceeded toward the border after taking Senor Limantour aboard. The de- ; taining of a fast passenger train here awaiting the arrival of a spe- cial train is advanced as an inci- dent to support the rumor.

INDIGNANT OVER SEARCH FOR JEWELS Customs Officials Suspect
 Hull Family WOMEN ARE DISROBED
Prominent Family of Savannah, Ga., Placed in Embarrassing Posi- tiOn and Threaten Suit
 for Alleged Outrage

New York, March 1.-The wife and a daughter of Joseph Hull of Savannah, Ga, one of the wealthiest and most in- f1uental men in the south, were required to disrobe in their stateroom aboard the steamship Lusitania today while a eus- tom inspectoress, acting on a mysterious tip, found subsequently, to be false, made a mincing search for a diamond neck lace thought to have been purchased abroad. The search proving futile, Mrs. Hull and the daughter, Eliza Lamar Hull, were allowed to proceed to their hotel, where another daughter, Nina w., convalescing from an attack of typhoid fever had preceded them without having been subjected to search.
 The necklace ruInor dismissed, customs inspectors scrutinized the family bag gage and, charging under-valuations in the case of Mrs. Hull and the daughter, Eliza L., seized the articles in question. Mother and daughter maintained they had acted in good faith. but their ex- plantations were not considered satisfac- tory to Collector Loeb and the articles were seized. They consist entirely of wearing apparel and will be held until 'the home value," that is the foreign cost, plus duty, is paid
 Joseph Hull, the husband and father, was on the pier to greet his wife and daughter, as was a son, Daniel, cot ton broker in this city. All were indig nant at the proceedings and threaten to carry the matter to the courts if neces- sary.
 Stockings Removed
 We were made to take off even our stockings" said Mrs. Hull. Every stitch of our clothing was searched and even our hair did not escape. I consider this treatment an outrage and I had no idea such thing could happen in America"
 It was explained for the family that the report concerning the necklace prob ably had come from Savannah, where there was jealousy" over the fact that the Hulls were fortunate enough to en- joy foreign luxuries and fnery.
 Federal laws give the authorities power ing dutiable articles lconcealed about them, custom officials said, and it was added that there never had been a suit brought as the result of such a search.
 Joseph Hull came here from Savan- nah especially to meet his returning wife and daughters. He is one of the wealth. fest men in Savannah, president of tke Merchants National bank of that city. chairman of the board of directors Of the Savannah Trust company, a director of the, Central Railway of Georgia. and president of the Prairie Pebble Phos- phate company.

John .. as a lester.

Every little while Cousin John
Rockefeller does something to add an
other plank of evidence to the theory
that he has a deep-seated sense of
humor. He is becoming more and
more of giddy sort of jester.
A short time before the Rockefel-
lers left here for the east, Cousin
Rockefeller and a number of friends
were out a-gol6ng. Several women,
wives and friends of a number of the
contestants, were present, and John
D. was having great sport poking fun
at the golfers whenever one of them
would make a poor stroke. The wo-
men laughed heartily at the expense
Of the erring player whenever John
would spring one of his funny gibes
and the oil reflner was in high glee
1t came the turn of one player who
had just taken up the game a week or
two previously, but who averaged as
good game as most of the others.
You'd better explain to the ladies'"
he whispered to his host, that I am
just beginner"
Tell them you're just a beginner"
repeated John, loud enough for all to
hear. "Why, man, do you think any
of the ladies present are so stupid
that they won't know that when they
see you drive off?"-Cleveland Plain

DUTCH COLLAR AND CUFFS
Dainty FriI|s That Are Designed to
Tighten Up a Dark Co.'S
tune.

The girl who likes to tighten a dark
costume with dainty frills, should
make herself one of the sets of round
ing Dutch collar and cuffs in plated
lawn.
The frills are made of fine white
lawn or dotted muslin, and are cut
three and a half inches wide for the
collar, and two inches for the cuffs.
Mark the edge in a tiny scallop
with spool of two hundred cotton,
and buttonhole in white or colored
mercerized cotton in a shallow line.
When finished sew into eighth of an
inch side plaits and sew into narrow
band the right length to fit around
wrist and neck. The frill falls softly
from the band or in the sleeves may
be inverted and turned back, being
caught at one side with a lace pin.
Instead of arranging in plaits,
which are hard to iron, the frills may
be run in thread tucks to give the
fullness. This model is good for high
turnover effects and for the Dutch
collar For the latter the strip should
be made narrower at the ends than
in the middle.

It was o'clock in the afternoon
on certain day when Miss Ethel
Blaine left the manor house known
as The Willows for a walk down the
highway and then a turn to the left
into the hills. There was cave there
among the rocks and scrubpines, and
It was her intention to pay it visit.
At just the same hour, on the same
afternoon, Mr.. Hugh wentworth left
the manor house known as The Pop
lars for q walk up the highway and
then turn to the right into the hills.
There were partrtdges among the
pines, and he had his gun along to
make victims. He was accompanied
By his dog. 1t wasn't high-bred dog
and thing of beauty, but he had a
mission to perform before getting OF
the earth.
The distance between The Will
lows and The Poplars was two miles.
There wasn't willow within. three
miles Of The Willows and there wasn't
a poplar within four miles of The Pop
lars. Miss Blaine had just returned
home from a year out west, and Mr..
Wentworth had been civil engineer
ing in the south.
Miss Ethel found the cave all right.
It wasn't much of a cave. One sit
ting down in it was only four feet
from the entrance.
There was romance there, however.
One could sit down on a stone and
hear the pines whispering, the sQuir-
rels chattering and the cartridges
clucking. One ould think of the In
dian maiden who committed suicide
there rather than wed rich young
white man. Counterfeiters and horse
thieves had used that cave. Gallant
knights had slept there and cooked
their own breakfast of bacon and
eggs while out on tours to rescue
damsels all forlorn. Lovers had sat
there and pledged their VOWS.
No place could have been better
adapted to meditation. True, sort
of animal od0v chung to the cave, but
one could think of the past and wcn-
der over the future. Many girls have

On the road, he will be started at
SIS to 500 month and travelling ex-

of little corner of new territory un-
til he has proved himself, when his
route will gradually be enlarged &C.

his own peculiar ability. Some travel
ing men are more successful among
village merchants than in the large
cities, and vice versa.
From this point on there is steady
advancement, as your boy grows in ex.
perience and ability, and he will be
getting acquainted with the other
goods handled by his firm so as to sell
everything on it's list. AS he advances
his pay will increase until 1t

Interesting Find.

An interesting find was made the
other week by workmen while laying a
conduit near Astwick, North Brecks.
They came upon two complete human
skeletons, male and female. The head
Of the male was most massive, and his
height when living must have been at
least seven feet. The woman was laid
at right angles to the man, with her
feet resting against the side of his
body. Apparently when her lord died
she had been slain and buried with
him. The remains are thought to be-
long to the stone age.

Effectiveness. In colors, designs and
convenient widths foulards are prob
ably accorded the most favor.
Indeed. they deserve our admiration.
They appeal to our practical natures
for several reasons. First, they are
not expensive. Foulards nowadays are
purchasable for money in the vicinity
of the one-dollar mark. In the widths
available ten or twelve yards are
ample for a dress. The good quality
of foulard is now waterproof. It sheds
the dust, and can be used for petit
coats or Innings after having served as
a costume.
Bordered foulards are evident in
most of the silk showings. They are
beautiful and have the added feature of
requiring no trimming for the costume
that they make.
