The horse editor has some femi-
nine traits, besides his willowy form,
inmate grace, winning ways and flow
er-like beauty One of them, and
the one most largely developed, is
curiosity. He is also deeply inter-
ested in anything in pretty gowns,
and chic costumes. In proof of Il,
he refers to a recent open confession
as to the effect a harem skirt worn
| by pretty Miss Roberts, of Sells-Flo-
to, had upon his delicately balanced
and sensitive love of the beautiful.
Moved by this same curiosity, he
Just overlooked his lunch today, and
used up the time allowed him by his
employer in which to fill up his bread
basket in feasting his eyes and feed
ing his soul with things beautiful,
and so meekly entered the big Ship
ley store to take peep at the coro-
nation robes Of Queen Mary, or their
duplicate replica, or whatever it is
called.
The horse editors feminine traits
are not developed to the point of de-
scribing a creation like that. He can
only admire-but say, it was great!
There wasn't anything in the
robes except a dummy when he was
there, but that probably best repre-
sents a real queen, but they are GER
tainly glad rags. The hat is of some
what ancient style, there being moth
ing to it but the crown. This was
gathered in at the bottom like a hob
Bile skirt (probably to make it fit)
and is of chased gold, set with all
kinds of gems, and looks like it
might fit Salem 3-year-old.
The gown is of lace draped in con-
centering circles around the skirt,
hand picked, or something, Mr.. Ship
ley told me, and is as delicate as a
spider web, kissed by the frost. The
robe is of rich crimson velvet lined
with elegant satin, soft and delicate.
as baby's cheek, or the first Hss of
love, or the kids that swap it, 1t is
fastened to the gown at the should
ers, about where an average decol-
lete Cget on to that gown has its
upper border, and sweeps in anti
clinal curve to the floor and along
that for eight or ten feet, widening
like pigeons tail as it reaches
further aft. Its tail, like Josh Bill
ling's fishworm, is rather too long
for its body, but if that's the way
Queen Mary ordered it, far be it from
the horse editor to criticise.
1t evidently wasn't the knight of
the garter" for the horse editor
didn't see anything of that kind, and
he is observing, but anyway the dunn
my didn't need them, and with the
Salem girl inside it may be different;
but there were stones, crowns, en-
blems, gew-gaws and fixin's enough
to bewilder the first lady of the
wardrobe" or the second assistant
night guardian of the bed chamber,
or Os West Secretary Olcott or even
State Printer Duniway. In fact there
was about everything except a sam
pie of the hair oil with which the
king is to be anointed and the kiss
the archbishop will deliver when
Queen Mary is duly inoculated with
the ancient disease of royalty.
But say, you go round and see it
any time today or tomorrow at Ship
ley's, for the horse editor cans de-
scribe it. Don't forget the time, for
after Saturday it will be removed,
and then if you went there, you don't
know what you might see. Do you?

THE TEACHERS
FAILED TO
GIVE CREDIT

In ayailing themselves of the ap-
preparation made by the last legisla-
ture for the payment Of teachers en-
gagged in the Weston normal school
when it suspended, teachers are neg
lecting to deduct from their claims
credits given them while engaged in
the school for the purpose of adjust
ing the claims presented, Professor
French held conference with Sec
retary of State Olcott today.
Professor French made an estimate
of the claims due from the state to
the teachers and presented it to the
last legislature and acting upon it,
that body made an appropriation of
$5,339.50. When it became apparent

Asserting that the initiative, refer

main issue in the coming election in
the state Of Minnesota, Frank NJ Ed
dy, of Sauk Center, of that state, has
written Secretary of State Olcott for
information as to the working of the
law in this state and also as to the
working of what is termed the Ore
gon System" of government in gen
eral.
In asking for information on the
subject he has submitted % ques-
tions for the secretary of state to
answer and also asks that he be sup
piled with a sample of the last cleo
tion ballot, and any further informa-
tion possible. He states that he was
a member of congress from 1896 to
1905, and that he was we'll acquainted

II you have sore feet, tired feet,
sweaty feet, lame feet, tender feet,
smelly feet, corns, callouses or bun
ions, read what happened to Mrs.
Crockett, Of Jacksonville. TIZ DID
1T. Mr.. Crockett says: "After the
second treatment she walked down.
stairs one foot at a time. She has
not ben able to walk downstairs be-
fore in past five years, except by
stepping down on each step with one
foot at a time. This is remarkable.
Send five more boxes"
No matter what ails your feet or
what under heaven you have used
without getting relief just use TIZ.
It's different. 1t acts right off. It
cures sore feet to stay cured. It's
the only foot remedy ever made
which acts on the principle of draw
ing out all the poisonous exudations
which cause sore feet. Powders and
other remedies merely clog up the
pores. TIZ cleans them out and
keeps them clean. You will feel
better the first time it's used. Use
it week and you can forget you
ever had sore feet. There is moth
ing on earth that can compare with
It. T q is for sale at all druggists,

WHAT CONSTITUTES
A MODEL SCHOOLHOUSE? ?

What constitutes a model school
house is the question that Walter NJ
Peirce, manager of the Hot Lake
Sanatorium, put up to State Super
intendent of Public Instruction AL
derman several days ago, and the
superintendent after considering the
subject has forwarded his ideas upon
II.
Mr., Peirce desires to build a
school house near Hot Lake, and he
wants 1t to be model, and cares moth
ing for the expense. The school
house is to be large enough to ac-
comodate 25 pupils.
Mr. Alderman is further consider
ing the question propounded to him
by Mr.. Peirce, and after he makes up
his mind fully just as to what con-
stitutes model school house, he in
tends to have one erected at the
state fair grounds.

TAFT IS NEAR
COMING TO
SILVER BASIS

Washington, June 16.-Gifts of sill
yer poured in today on President and
Mrs. Taft in anticipation of their
silver anniversary next Monday. 1t
is predicted that the array of silver
displayed at the White House will sur
pass anything ever before seen in
one American home.
Members of the senate have sent
$1,000 present; the gift of the house
of representative is a $4,000 present
of silver and many clubs have sent
handsome gifts.
One Washington matron in a con-
gratulatory letter to the president
and Mrs. Taft, wrote that she ex-
pected romance in her family
would eliminate in a proposal at the
White House gardens Monday night.

ing to some 5000 or $500. This fund
was considered by Professor French
in presenting the claims to the legis-
lature but the teachers have failed to
consider and deduct them in forward
ing their claims to the secretary of
state and hence the conflict and the
need of adjustment by the professor.

First Police Station. where he begged
quarters for his friends Sergeant
Jeter looked askance at them a few
moments, but finally admitted them to
the bull pen, rather than see them re :
turn 10 the streets. They were glad
even for the bull pen, and they did not
question when the doors were shut
and the keys turned upon them. One

Three Felines Found Dead at
Electric Plant, and Not a
Dead Rat There.

Three dead cats, one with Its head

There was only one way in which to
account for the destruction OF the

during tho night, when tho three cats,
