THE POWDER PUFF HAT.

isfactory one. Any hat may thus be
fitted out, for these silk Innings with
pockets containing puffs are sold sep
arately. The pretty convenience was
evolved from the brain Of the clever
fashion designer Ora Cne.
1t Is the French peasant cap shapes
which are furnishing the motive for
many plays on headwear just now.
The smallest hat overs the features
the most completely, for there is little,
If any, chance for flare in the caps.
The Brittany and Normandy caps are
two leading models, but they are not
becoming to everybody-not to all the
women who are choosing them. 1t
takes a pretty, girlish face to wear
one.
All white hats are a perfect fad, If
not a full sized craze. They are trim
med with flowers, feathers and all
sorts of sheer stuffs, but their trim

Work Planned for the Extra Session

to meet this expense, the president
will outline the reason for the army
movement. Already an inquiry by
congress is scented in this connection.
If President Taft believes that the
Democrats in the present congress
are going to pass the reciprocity bill
to carry out the Canadian agreement
and then go home and wait for the
regular session of congress in Decem-
Der before they do anything, he is
very much mistaken.
The Democrats declare their inten-
ton of keeping faith with the presi-
dent and passing his reciprocity meas
ure just as quick as possible, but they
are not going to stop there. There
was no understanding with the presi-
dent prior to the calling of the ex-
ira session as to what legislation
should be attempted beyond the car
rying out of the reciprocity compact.
Messrs Clark and Underwood told
the president that 1t was their pur-
pose to revise the tariff 1t is stated
that the president thoroughly under
stood the situation, and for this reason
the reports which emanated from At
lanta that the president expects the
congress to pass reciprocity and then
go home are discounted.

to certain portions of his message to
congress. He went to the south sole
ly for rest, but reciprocity, the Mex

probably be three important mes
sages to the extra session Of congress.
At least that is the present expecta-
ton of the executive. One will deal
solely with reciprocity, another with
tariff revision and third with the
Mexican war.
The war message will come in connec-
ton with the request for an apprepri-

MRS. PATTERSON
ON WITNESS STAND
State Pours Heaviest Fire Upon In
cident Of Trip to Europe
Fight is Desperate.

Denver Colo, Nov. 25.-Against the
two vital points of the story Gertrude
Gibson Patterson, charged with the
murder of her husband, told upon the
witness stand-the cruelty and abuse
of her husband and the charge that he
had sold her for $500 to her former
admirers Emil w. Stress, Chicago mill
lionaire, with whom she made a trip
to Europe-Special Prosecutor Horace
G. Benson Friday afternoon directed
three hours of merciless cross-examina-
ton.
Led to repeat various instances of
his abuse and forced to declare that,
naturally, at the time she felt toward
him the greatest of indignation and
contempt, she was confronted by let
ters she herself had written to her hus-
band on dates but a few days subse-
quent to those on which, she had de-
clared, the attacks upon her had been
made. These letters were couched in
terms of deepest affection, models of
what devoted wife would write to an
affectionate husband.
On the trip to Europe with Strouss,
a trip undertaken, she had said, at the
urgent demand of her husband, who
received $500 from Strouss, the state
put an entirely different construction
and wrung from the witness admissions
that materially strengthened the theory
it advanced.
Under the gruelling of the special
prosecutor, the mask of imperturba-
bility that Mrs Patterson has worn
throughout the early days of the trial.
vanished completely. She ran the
gamut of emotions. Late in the day
she broke down and wept, while other
times offended dignity often was her
attitude and she used it to good advan-
tage.
On the incident of the trip to Eu-
rope with Strouss, the state poured it's
heaviest fire and the witness fought
desperately BY every means the
prosecution sought to get from the wit
ness that just prior to the trip she had
urged her husband to get into some
business for himself and that negotia-
tions were pending for his purchase of
half interest in Chicago printing
establishment, for which she was to
give him $1,5OO, which she said she
had from an estate that had just been
settled
To all questions on this point Mrs.
Patterson returned positive denials or

LAND TAX QUESTION IS
VERY SERIOUS TO INDIANS

Ardmore, Okla. Nov 25.-"The most
important question before the Indians
of Oklahoma, said Governor Douglas
H. Johnson of the Chickasaws, Friday,
''is the land tax question"
The governor was here on his return
trip from Pauls Valley where a mass
meeting of the Indians was held Thurs
day. He is or the opinion that the In
dians paid their taxes when they gave
town lots at one-half their value, and
gave to many churches and school
buildings the sits which they occupied
and he will contest the payment Of
taxes on lands as long as the title rests
in the original allottee as long as he
is governor of the tribe,
Governor Johnson says the federal
government guaranteed the Indians
that their lands should not be taxed
and if they are to be taxed now the
lands had as well have been confiscat-
ed when statehood was conferred upon
Oklahoma. The Indians cannot pay
their taxes
The question is now before the SUI
.preme court of the United States, and
if the decision adverse to the indians,
much of ther lands will have to be
sold to pay the taxes on the balance.
The taxes for three years have accum-
ulated against these lands, and If the
penalty for non-payment is enforced it
will work a great hardship upon the
Indians
Governor Johnston, who lives in the
county named for him, says the cotton
production in his section of the state
is greater than the farmers have been
able to gather and on hi splantation
one-half of the cotton is still in the
field.

SHORTAGE OF CORN IS
REPORTED IN CARTER COUNTY

Davis, Okla, Nov. 25.-J. H, Snyder
of Ardmore, stated Friday that Carter
county would not make enough corn
to pay for the seed planted, and that
1t would require 200 cars of corn to
make another crop with. 1T will take
fully 1000 bales of cotton to buy en-
ough corn with which to make crop
in 1912, and practically every county
in southeastern Oklahoma is in the
same boat" declared Mr. Snyder.
"Ardmore win receive about 10000
bales of cotton this year, which is much
below the average crop, and when one
fourth of these will be required, at the
present low price to buy corn with,
it cuts down our general yield to low
figure. Farmers in Carter county made
a good forage crop, as a rule, but they
will require an immense amount of
corn to carry them through.
Il am not calamity howler by any
means, but think the public should be
advised of true conditions. AS rule
our farmers are in fairly good shape
financially, and many are holding cot
ton for a better price, but if they fail
to realize 10 cents or better it will
handicap them in the race for exist.

Money appears to have disappeared
