In order to make a solid, stiff founda-
ton for the ring.
Wherever the cardboard overlaps it
must be shaved thin, so that, when
glued together. the points will be per-
fectly smooth. Figure / shows just
how this Is to be done.
Each strip of pasteboard should be
long enough to overlap about one
fourth of an inch. After the strips
have all been glued together fasten
the whole thing somewhere where it
will be held tightly. until it is per-
fectly dry.
After this cut the ends OF the paste
board perfectly smooth with a very
sharp knife. Figure shows this
operation.
The next step is to make the raised
rims for the ring. This is done by
pasting narrow strips of paper one
fourth of an inch wide on top of each
other, in the same manner as the
pasteboard strips were pasted.
After these strips are solid, they
are to be covered with a narrow strip
OF gayly colored calico, as shown in
Figure 3.
The rest of the napkin ring can be
covered with a pretty colored paper
or with some other pattern of Calico
Gold paper makes a pretty covering.
Another very attractive covering can
be made from Powered crepe paper.
The inside Of the napkin ring must
be lined with smooth materials. A
brown glazed paper is the best. Fig
ure shows the best way to insert the
lining with the help Of the index and
third fingers.
Figure shows the ring complete.

101; the old favorite Mary, follows,
with 80; Margaret comes third, with
60; Ruth has 60; Florence, 81; Eliza
beth. At; Marion and Mildred, each

Feroclous Bengal Tigers.

The man eater is usually an older
tiger whose strength Is failing and
whose teeth have partly lost their
sharpness. Such q beast finds It
easier to lurk in the vicinity of settle
ments and to pick up an occasional
man, woman or child than to run
down wild cattle. says St. Nicholas.
The largest, fiercest and most
brightly colored tigers are found I'm
the Province of Bengal, near the
mouths of the Ganges river, and not
far from Calcutta A full-grown Bengal
tiger sometimes measures ten feet
FROM nose to tip of tail. Such monster
makes no more account of springing
upon a man than a cat docs of selling
a mouse. He surpasses the lion in
strength and ferocity, and has no
rival among beasts of prey except the
grizzly bear and the recently discov-
cred giant bear of Alaska.

Tumbler Through a Table.

Place the spectators at some little
distance on level on the opposite
side of the table to where you sit,
having spread unperceived a handker.
chief across your knees. Take drink
ing glass-a tumbler with no stem is
preferable-and, covering it with pa.
per, mold the covering as nearly as
possible to the shape Of the glass.
While uttering some cabalistic
phrases drop the glass into your hand
kerchief unobserved, and as the pa
per retains the shape there is no diff
flculty in making the lockers on be-
ljeve the tumbler to be still beneath
it. Passing the glass in the left hand
beneath the table, you now crush the
paper down with your right, when
the glass will appear to have been
sent through the table. If a cloth is
over the table the trick can be more
easily performed.

TEDDY's SENTINEL.

Last night I woke up In the dark.
All shiv'ring in my bed
For fear a giant would come in
And roar. Il want you. Ted!'
My sword was in the nursery,
My shield and helmet, too,
And, all defenseless as I was.
Sdeath, what could I do?
But all at once I sat right up.
AS happy as a lark,
Because way down in our front yard
heard old Rover bark.
And then I knew that I was safe
The giant d never dare
To even touch our picket fence,
With Rover watching there!

ment bill without amendment, provid
ing for 433 representatives, notwith
standing all the committee members
had expressed themselves as opposed
to the increased representation.
The bill provides for forty-two rep

decrease of the membership from any
state. Three of the ten members
present-Senators La Toilette, Dupont
and McLean-voted in the negative
but while expressing disapproval OF
the increase the other seven decided
to allow the house to have its way
in a matter so particularly pertaining
to it's own affairs.
The report will be withheld for q
week to give Mr.. La Toilette time to
prepare minority report, which
will be presented by Senator Bailey.

,I Between Puget Sound and
,ke Washington at Seattle.

washington, July Secretary OF
.n ctimson has directed the en-.
.ooring department of his office to
all for bids for the construction OF
.no Lake Washington canal locks, to
cost s2,275,Ooo, at the earliest possible
date.

eaht which has been carried on for
,noro than twenty years to assure
nanctruction of a canal system be-
.woon Puget Sound and Lake Wash
ington. at Seattle, and which at all
.;mos has been quite as bitterly op-
nosod as it was championed.
All Conditions Met.
The statement given out at the war
donartment is as follows:
a1n the matter of the Lake Wash
ington and Puget Sound canal the Sec
rotarv of war has decided that King
county has complied with al 1.-The con.
ditions imposed by the act of appro-
nriatons and has therefore directed
that the federal appropriation be re-
leased and that the engineering de-
nartment enter at once upon the work,
making the necessary contracts Incl
dent thereto
His report is a lengthy one, dealing
with all objections made against the
prosecution of this work, and an
nouncing his conclusions separately
mon each of the objections. He con-
siders that congress has set it's def
mite seal of approval upon the work
and treats the matter as requiring
only his decision as to whether the
conditions imposed by the act of ap-
propriations have been complied with.
Decision Long Pending.
The decision disposes of matter
which has been pending in one form
or another since the initial legisla-
ton relating to the project of ship
canal connecting the waters of Puget
Sound with Lake Washington by the
act of September 10, 1890. It is be-
lieved it will not take more than three
months to get the plans and specif1ca-
tons into condition and sufficiently
advanced to call for bids for actual
lock construction. There is nearly
100000 on hand with which to push
the preliminary work, and it is be-
lieved that no trouble will be expert
enced in getting an allotment of at
least s1,OOO,OOO from the next con-
gress.

warehouse companies will be repre-
sented in Olympia to explain to the
public service commission why they
should be allowed to have in their
tariff schedules a provision which en-
ables them to accept shipments and
fix rates either by weight or by meas

The commission issued a complaint
challenging the reasonableness of
such a provision and has cited the
owners and chairmen to appear and
explain it.
On that day also dozen or more
small steamboat owners who have no
liked routes or schedule of prices will
be on hand for a hearing on their pc
tltion that they be excused from fl

WRONG PRACTICE BY
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Colfax, July Reports from the
attorney generals Office in Olympia
are to the effect that the Whitman
county commissioners are in bad for
returning and canceling taxes.
The attorney general states that
commissioners who cancel and refund
taxes and county treasurers who paid
out money on these illegal orders will
find themselves liable for the amounts
refunded.
The largest refund noted in the
Whitman county commissioners re.
port is one of 1854 to B. F. Bower.
man OF Rosalia. for taxes paid in 1909
on lots in an addition to Rosalia. The
commissioners discovered that the
property was outside the city limits
and refunded the taxes under the
usual custom.
Tne attorney general states that the
only legal way is to have the over.
charged taxpayer bring suit against
the county and have a decree entered
In the superior court.
Regarding the boards custom. Com.
missioner Sam Ellis said:
We shall be glad to comply with
the ruling and have the taxpayers
bring suit, saving us the adjustment
OF such overcharges. We supposed
we were adjusting them under the
law Many other counties have fallen
for the same error"
Several refunds have been made
during the last month.
