In the ices and salaGs the beau tiful pastel shades of the sweet pea were also used with telling effect.
 This pretty occasion complimented Mrs. Sibley's house guest Mrs Julian Sibley of Pensacola Fla. Those in- cluded in the invitation to meet her were chosen from among the former residents of Augusta, Ga, and thus proved an especially congenial coterie.

nave to go to manicurist every time I polish my shoes to get my nails in a re- spectacle condition. Don't talk to me about economizing, by doing my own laundry or polishing my own shoes, or making my own clothes-there's nothing ir it. Ordinarily it costs me about 90 cents a week to keep my shoes looking de- cent. Here I have spent dollar-fifty cents for the polishing outfit and 50 cents to get my nails manicured, and look at my shoes and hands,"
 Those shoes are entirely too good to ruin that way declared Nancy, as she took a look at the outlandish looking shine that Peggy had tried to put on them. Really I would get them shined by some one that knows how and not try to do it myself if were you.' | 'I'm not if it costs me my months al lowance," Peggy answered. 'I don't know how to do it and I shant try, so there S an end of it."

 This girl has a real knack at doing such things and she laughingly said that she takes in washing by the week. just like any hired laundress. One thing she declares that she has learned in her ex- periences, and that is the virtues of china silk for waists and dresses. It Is the easiest of all things to iron and is always pretty and becoming.

 'I am economizing now replied Peg gy. I'm economizing on shoes. I have heard so many women talk about polish ing their own shoes that I concluded the other day that I'd try it. l bought a whole shoe polishing outfit-one of the kind that has liquid in bottle that you put on first by the directions, and after that if high polish is desired you ap- ply the salve in the box, polishing off to the finish desired q could see myself saving dollars every minute.''

TEXAS MUD MAKES
 TERRIBLE BIG FEET

San Antonio. Tex, March 30.-(Special ) Some enthusiastic Texan remarked a number of years ago that Texas soil would make anything grow when water was applied to it, and that this was the reason that the feet of negroes In the Lone Star state are larger than in any other part of the country When ne- gro gets his feet in Texas mud the fer tility of the soil makes them grow Many of the negroes here believe this is a fact, and when a well-known colored man asked for pair of "15 size" boots the other day, he said, in an apologetic way: Yer see. boss desc ole feet O mine has been on dis Texas soil 40 years, and dey jes' had to grow"

this part of the program, it was final
ly concluded that priest should be
sent for and that he was to meet the
prisoner in a room in the custom
house. There was a number of large
wardrobes, or armoires as they were
called in New Orleans, in the room
These were used for storing books
Some of them were removed from
one, giving room for man to enter
When the good father and O'Rafferty
came and took seat near this
armoire. they surely did not notice
that its door was just little ajar.
Father M soon came out of the
room. There was an expression of
sadness upon his face, but he said
nothing that could throw any light
upon the robbery; yet it was quite ap-
parent that something unusual had
happened. Something had. and now
possessed the clue 1 needed.
It was dark when I arrived at the
corner of White and Clio streets and
knocked at the front door of a small
dwelling house, which was soon
opened by a middle-aged man. l in
formed him that l was a government
officer and that had come there to
arrest both him and his wife and
seize their house, which would be
forfeited to the government told
him that O'Rafferty had confessed
everything. He now turned to his
wife and exclaimed in an excited man
ner; What did I tell you, Margaret? i?
You see the bad business your brother
has got US into?"
Where's the money!" demanded.
TITS under the house, and l will

BE lively about it," said in COM
manding tone. He now went into the
kitchen where he raised a small trap
In the floor. Reaching down, he pulled
out corn sack. Hastily examining
its contents found 1t contained about

the keys of his house and they were

the greater the scare, | thought.

dispatched to bring Father M.
When found he was at the house on
the corner of White and Clio streets
endeayoring to arouse the occupants.
He came Immediately to the police
station. and acquainted him with the
fact that a portion of the money had
been recovered, and the persons in
whose possession 1t had been found
were in custody. He was unquestion.
ably much surprised by this arrest. I.

Administration Bills.

Governor Harmon is spending much
of his time in working on the three
administration measures yet to be pre-
sented to the Legislature. Two, and
possibly three bills will be ready
soon. An effort will be made to has
ten action by presenting the bills in
both house and senate.
Senator Dore of Tiffin will handle
in the senate the big bill to consoli-
date in one central board the man
agement of all state institutions. Price
Russell of Wayne county, party floor
leader, will have the central board bill
in the house, Governor Harmon in
his message indorsed the bill, as pre-
sented last year under the name of
Senator Alsdorf. No changes will be
made, except in minor details. All
important features, including a strin-
gent civil service for all employees,
will be retained.
Announcement has been made that
Representative Winters of Sandusky
will offer the official utilities commits
sion bill. Senator Mcclure of Tus-
carawas county will present it to the
senate. Winters last year introduced
utilities commission bill drafted
largely by the shippers organiza-
tions. They objected to the plan pro-
posed in the Woods bill at that time
of increasing the duties of the rail
road commission, which they insisted
should be left untouched.
Although not specifically mentioned
in his message, Governor Harmon is
giving much attention to the details
of the new utilities bill. AS it appears
it will represent his views. Every
form of utilities except railroads will
be included. The railroad commission
will not be touched, but a new COM
mission of three members will be
created.
Senator Shaffer of Paulding and
Representative Smith of Marion will
have their names on the one per cent.
tax rate limit bill. 1t probably will
be the last of the big measures ready
for legislative consideration. Much
of the work of drafting the bill will
be in the hands of the state tax com,
mission. The commission has not re,
ceived all of the information desired
| for guidance for the task.

Wants Public Hearing.

Charges that huge corruption is
being raised to support the Dean bill
were made by Wayne B. Wheeler, SUI
perintendent of the Anti-Saloon league.
He expressed confidence that the leg
islature cannot be bought with liquor
money, but gave warning that his or
ganization will expose the deal if any
senator or representative sells out.
In another statement Wheeler served
notice that he will demand a public
hearing in the senate on the Dean bill
to exempt municipalities from the
county option law.
Dean is reported to have predicted
final action in the senate this week.
On this subject, Wheeler says: Sen
ator Deans statement that there
would be no hearings on the Dean bill
unless both sides ask for it, means
that he will try to railroad the bill
through without any hearing and pass
it in the senate Immediately. This is
unprecedented. Persons interested in
bills of Importance are always granted
a hearing. The liquor interests were
never denied this right II the pro-
gram to suppress hearing is carried
out, the people will resent it. The
time'is past for such highhanded, car
like action"
Although refusing to make any re-
ply at this time, representatives of
the liberal interests insist Wheelers
charges are groundless. Wheeler in
his statement says: "On the theory
that every man has his price, a large
corruption fund is being accumulated
by the liquor trust to purchase suffi-
cient votes, If possible, to pass the
Dean bill, destroying the county op-
tion law. This is not mere surmise.
There is evidence that such purpose
is more than a possibility. With the
naming of wet temperance commit
tees in both branches o fthe legisla-
| ture and the introduction of the Dean
bill, reports come from several of the
larger dry towns to the effect that
brewers are procuring options on
buildings for saloon purposes and
their agents give out the information
that the liquor men are again conf
dent of going into business. One of
these agents says the liquor interests
are confident the Dean bill will be re-
ported favorably in the senate and
house and they expect to wipe out the
margin against the bill in the legis-
lature by purchasing sufficient votes
to pass it. He explains that not only
are the liquor interests of Ohio con-
tributing to such fund but that the
brewers and liquor dealers of the
country are pouring in their thou
sands"

Separate Prison Urged.

Members of the joint legislative
committee appointed to recommend
what the state should do about build
ing a women's prison, have decided
to recommend that a joint reforma-
tory and prison for women be built
under a management separate from
the penitentiary. Board Of managers
of the penitentiary will be asked to
abandon the project Of erecting the
women's prison near the institution
for men. A number of Legislators
went to Indianapolis to inspect the
Indiana women's prison.
