"HOMlNiST" is LATEST WORD
Inspired by Witty French Journalist
to Describe Man-lmitating Woman
One Is Fined.

Paris.-An adenture Of Mile. Luci-
enne Delaroche, a young sculptress
whose works have several times been
exhibited at the salons, has inspired
a witty journalist to coin new word
whereby militant suffragettes Of GER
tain type will be known in France
henceforward. "Hominist" Is the
word. and it is meant to describe the
sort of woman who goes about dress
ed as much like man as she posi-
bly, can.
One morning at 2 o'clock the night
police observed a human figure lying
in the gutter Of street in the mid
die of the Latin Quarter. They lifted
up what apparently was young man
in an intoxicated condition, with his
clothes badly torn and his appearance
generally deplorable. While taking
the offender, they were assailed by
a volley of descriptive epithets deliv'
cred in a high feminine voice. and dis
covered that they were dealing with a
woman in disguise. She was dressed
in black trousers, leather spats, a
mans waistcoat and woman's coat
reaching to the knees.
The young woman. Mile, Delaroche,
who was the sculptress, explained to
the court that this costume she found
most convenient in the studio, and
that, being suddenly asked out that
evening to visit some friends, she had
forgotten to don the skirt with which
she was accustomed to cover up her
neither garments when out of doors
A hard-hearted magistrate fined her

LIVES IN SOD HOUSE
Man of Royal Lineage Thus Re-
sides in Kansas.
{. D. Smith, Whose Ancestors Came
From England With the Pilgrim
Fathers, Is Descended From
King Charles |.

Meade, KAMA man with royal
blood in his veins lives in a sod house
on a Kansas prairie and has lived
there for twenty-seyen years.
e. d. Smith, whose farm is three
miles southwest of this place, is de-
scended from a niece of King Charles
l. of England, who was beheaded in
1649 by the British house Of COM
mons.
Smiths great-grandmother was
niece of Andrew Jackson, president of
the United States, and he is directly
descended from John Quincy Adams,
another president. His grandfather's
brother was Capt Jedediah Strong
Smith, the original pathfinder of the
American plains and mountains, the
first white man who saw Salt Lake,
Utah, the first white man who crossed
the mountains and deserts to Los An
geles and the first man who brought
gold from California to "the states"
Smith comes of family OF
pioneers. His ancestors, Jedediah
and Ira Smith, came from England
with the Pilgrim Fathers and landed
in Plymouth in 1920.
When Charles III. was king of Eng
land Earl Simonds of the Isle of Man
was an officer of the kings household
and he fell in love with the, kings
niece and asked King Charles for her
hand in marriage. The king was the
legal guardian of his niece and he re-
fused to permit the wedding. There
upon the niece eloped with Earl 81
monds, who carried her to his vessel
and set sail for America. One of the
| kings warships went in pursuit and
overlook the clipping couple, but the
earl fired cannon shot which car
ried away the foremost of the kings
ship and thereafter the earl and his
bride had clear sailing. They landed
in the Carolinas and from there went
to Canada.
Twin boys were born of the mar.

king, died at their birth. After tbs

For three weeks he kept a close
watch and the bees have worked with
great diligence in the big peach or

STA They have stored the peach
sweets in the hives at the ranch and
the new crop of peach honey will be
ready for market during the coming
month. The first to be taken will be
shown at the Roswell exposition

The quality of peach honey is some
thing that must be left to the readers
imagination. Being a new product
there are no samples, nor are there
experts to dilate on it's daintiness.
The announcement of the new prod
uct has aroused a great deal Of inter-
est and Mr.. Mirable has been advised
to re-chrsten his ranch and call it
Peach Honey Ranch.

ed by Patrons of Drama in Deer
Park, Just Out of Capital.

Brooklyn, N. Y.-Among the most
interesting experiences of travellers In
Scandinavia this summer has been
open-air theatergoing. For the splen,
did weather has induced numerous
dramatic enterprises in scenes OF
quite unusual beauty. Such has been
their success that the forest theater
is likely to become a summer institu-
ton in northern Europe.
Probably the finest natural theater
in the world is in Denmark, in the
royal deer park, about six miles out
mighty trees serve as wings and
background to a stage fronted by q
beech encircled slope that forms a
perfect auditorium. Eight thousand
people can be accommodated at every
performance and the scene, when the
space is filled with gayly dressed
patrons of the drama, far surpasses
that of a gala performance in more
pretentious but artificial surround
ings.
For such scenery a careful se!ec-
ton of plays is needed, but when shat
has been done the materials are there
for infinitely greater realism than is
possible in brick and mortar play
house. For instance, there is space
shade and distance in which to oper
ate advancing and receding players
while the effect of the singing is con
vincing because it has no reliance on
behind the scenes tricks.
With no performance marred by the
weather, the Copenhagen open-air
theater has had wonderful season

year from alfalfa and mesquite

been satisfied with that sort of mate

peaches
Recently Mr. Mirable found the
bees at work in his peach orchard. On
some large peaches he found as many

were able to puncture the skin of the
peach and not harm the fruit, and get
all the peach juice they wanted.

OFFICIAL INVITATION
TO AMERICANS
HOW ROBERT ROGERS, MINISTER
OF THE INTERIOR, IN WINNIPEG
ADDRESS, ISSUES WELCOME
or AMERICANS TO WEST
ERN CANADA.

During the course Of a reply 10 an
address presented to Hon. Robert Ros-
ers, the newly appcsuted Minister Of
the Interior OF Canada at banquet
given at Winnipeg in his honor that
gentleman spoke on immigration. The
tone OF his remarks was that he intend
ed to pursue an aggressive and for
ward policy in the matter OF immigrs-
ton. In part, he said:
The most important branch per
haps OF that department (Interior) Is
that Of immigration.
IF there Is anything more than an
other we want here II Is a greater pop
ulation, and # shall be my duty to pre-
sent to the people In all parts OF the
world where desirable emigrants are
TO be found the advantages and the
great possibilities of this country. We
have received In the past a reasonably
large immigration from south OF the
international boundary, and In this
connection let me say Just word for
our American cousins who have found
happy homes amongst US, and those
whom we hope to welcome in greater
numbers in the years to come. There
are hundreds of thousands OF them In
our prairie provinces, happy In the en-
toyment OF freedom as great as they
ever knew, and all contributing In q
material way towards the development
of Canada We are not blind to their
value as settlers. They come better
equipped with scientific farming
knowledge than most of our emf
grants, and constitute without doubt
the wealthfest class OF emigrants any
new country has ever known. As
head Of the immigration department IL
will be my privilege to offer them a
welcome hearty and sincere. and to
SO contribute TO their welfare that un-
der the protecting folds of the Union
Jack they Will enjoy as great degree
of liberty and happiness as under the
Stare and Stripes. The Borden gov
eminent cherishes nothing but the
kindliest feelings for the people Of the
great republic to the south, and will
do all in its power to increase the
bonds OF kinship and neighborly good
feeling that has SO long existed.
(Hear, hear.)
while we adopt a vigorous emf
grafton policy in that country. we win
also adopt the same vigorous policy In
other parts of the world. We will go
to England, Ireland and Scotland. and
every other country irrespective Of
race, creed or nationality. where We
can find suitable and desirable emf
grants for this great country. think
much good work can be done in those
countries, and especially perhaps at
the present time in England. Ireland
and Scotland. Now then. 1t will be
my duty to stir up that policy In the
most vigorous manner possible"
