ne is BLACK and unusually large"
Just before midnight the man en-
tered the home of Mrs. d. A. Jackson,
whom he caught and attempted to as
sault. She screamed and tainted and
the negro fed. In two instances he
pulled the covering from the two wo-
men as they slept, each time he was
frightened away by screams.
Besides entering the home of Mrs
jackson, the same man is believed 10

Palmer. Joseph Wardell, NJ Baines

NEW YORK, June 25.-There will be

guest of the Museum Of Natural His
tory for two weeks Is going back 10 his
people. John Valentine Satterlee is the
captains Anglo-SaXOn name. His
father was an English physician and
his mother full-blOOded Indian.
Satterlee. accompanied by Alanson
Skinner, Of the museum staff, will start
for the reservation tomorrow. Yester-
day the Indian guest was taking his
last look at the Indian section of the
museum
When he gets back he is going to tell
how they rush in New York. 1t is no
place for an Indian" said Satterlee.
Heap to see; oh, yes! Too much" he
added, shaking his head and struggling
his shoulders. Museum treat me fine
everything in big city fine, everything
but subway"
SatteTlee went up TO Bronx Park to
see the buffaloes and snakes a few days
ago. He had never seen any Of the
former before
Buffalo very fine" he said. Got
everything to see here
During his stay the Indian has been
taken TO nearly every point of interest.
'NIucn hurry bother me; all streets look
alike" he said. But very fine ladies' -
Sattcrlce does not know whether he
will every visit New York again, but he
says he can never forget the trip
Every one will come to see him when
he goes back. And talk, talk-all want
to know | hope I don't forget one
thing, so l can tell them"
There is another hope Satterlee has
1t is that a subway will never be built
on his reservation. The only way he
could b inveigled into going under the
East river was by fooling him.
Il did not know till l came out. A
good joke on Satterlee."

James to Be Next
Kentucky Senator

Representative Ollie NJ. James. one of
the leading Democratic members of tine
House, will be the next United States
Senator from Kentucky if the Demo-
Gratis control the Legislature.
The success of Mr.. James in the pri
maries is assured by the fact that Sen
ator Thomas II. Paynter has Withdrawn
from the race. This leaves a clear field
to James.
Representative James set out on an
aggressive campaign to win in the pri-
maries some months ago. One of the
points of attack on Paynter was his
record in the LOrimer case. As a mem
Der ef the Privileges and Elections
Committee and the subcommittee
charged with the first investigation into
the Lorimer election, Senator Paynter
consistently supported LOrimer. For
this he was bitterly criticised at home.
Representative James is a progress
sive Democrat. one of the most pro-
gressive in Congress. If he goes to the
Senate it will be a distinct gain for
the progressive faction in that body.

VIII you kindly tell me the best and safest
way to open up and start a mail order
business? l have circulars and advertising
matter Your advice will he highly appre-
ciated. Very truly yours. J. W. S.
The best way will be to insert ad-
vertisements in the newspapers and
magazines, stating the character of the
goods you have to sell. One may also
send out advertising matter by mail,
but this is rather an expensive proc
ess compared to advertising in the
newspapers and magazines
Times Inquiry Department:
Please tell me what TO get a ne-year-old
boy for a birthday present; something that Is
not expensive. Where is Notre Dame? VIII
a light straw hat trimmed with white chlf-
fon and roses be becoming to a brunette?
If 50, what color roses shall l get?
Something in the way of a rubber or
wooden toy would be nice. or, If you
wish to invest in something a little
more expensive, why not buy him one
of the pretty plates that do not tip
over or a silver spoon? Notre Dame,
the college, is situated at Notre Dame.
Ind. There are numerous churches of
Notre Dame in the United States. Chif-
fon would be rather f1imsy for a bow to
be worn in summer, inasmuch as the
first touch of dampness would wilt it.
Why not use chiffon to drape the hat
instead of using 1t for bows? Pink
roses, or those having a touch of yell
low, would be pretty for a brunette.
Red ones would seem too hot for sum-
mer. Do not attempt white roses. as
they do not have character enough
when used on a white hat. Why not
have white ribbon instead of chiffon for
your bow?

Everybody's Question Box-Answers to Queries

1t cool water to drink frequently during
the day. and keep it dressed as cool as
possible.
The proper underwear for summer is
silk and wool, as thin as possible, and
a band is sufficient, except on cool
nights and mornings, when the little
shirt should be worn. Bran or starch
baths are excellent for curing prickly
heat, and a pure baby powder should
be used. Be sure that you buy talcum
that is pure, even II you are compelled
to pay a few cents more for it. Some
doctors prefer a rice powder to the
ordinary talcum.
