CALLED FOR JESSE JAMES
Frank Morse Insisted Noted Bandit

Fashionable Hotel.

Frank P. Morse, n Of the best
dramatic press agents, and the most
Incessant takers in the world, walked
Into a fashionable hotel in Chicago
Dne evening and wrote on the regis

which he is pleased to call his sigma

an air Of a man to whom money was
not a question.
The clerk told him.
Eyes, yes," said Morse, with e1-
treme urban1ty. "Quite 50. Now I
would like to e Mr.. James,"
what Mr.. James," asked the
clerk.
mi. James, the proprietor of this
hotel," exclaimed Morse. What was
more to the point, he grew very
peevish when the clerk insisted that
Mr.. James was not the proprietor Of
the hotel, and that no Mr.. James was
In the house.

Strange curiositie. Of Pain.

An0S ~Or1oStI1e8 OF eaI1s
Pain sometimes behaves in a curl
u fashion. There was a soldier after
the Boer war, who complained of ex-
circulating neuralgia pains in his right
foot This very much amused his
friends, for he had lost his right leg.
The explanation was that the pain
happened to be in the trunks of those
nerves, which had sent branches to
foot. The other day a patient
went to a doctor complaining of pain
in the knee, and he was greatly sur.
prised when the doctor told him that
the site of the affection is not the
nee but the hip. We are all familiar
with the pain under the shoulder blade
which comes from an afflicted liver.
The stomach, too, can produce pain
in many parts of the body. A dis,
ordered stomach will give us pain as
far away as the head, and, when one
gets a cramp in his toe, it is often
due to acidity Of the stomach. Swallow
. pinch of bicarbonate Of soda and
the cramp will disappear. An aching
tooth will produce neuralgia pains in
the face, and very often a violent pain
at the back of the head is due to the

NEW RIFLE SIGHT INVENTED
Narksman Nus Aim for Spot Below
Target to Make Sure Of =
Hi.

Military authorities and big game
hunters are much interested in a new
rife sighting system that Is designed
to eliminate the necessity for esti-
mating distances and adjusting sights
In long range shooting.
OF the negative angle system, as the
Invention is called, Sir George Green
hill, a noted English ballistical eI-
pert, said in a recent lecture: "The
new system proves that since the orr
gin Of firearms our method of sighting
IN active service rifle firing has been
wrong. The invention is likely to
bring about a revolution In the art of
shooting"
In brief, the system utilizes the well
known fact that the apparent size of
an object decreases as the distance In
creases. The user of the negative
angle sight is instructed to sight at q
point the height Of the object under
It. If the arm were the army rife and
the target a man, the point of aiming
would be about five feet six inches be-
low the mans feet. With the regula-
ton ammunition as furnished for the
army rifle, the negative angle system
will insure bits on the man target at
all ranges from 100 to 1926, yards,
which is an increase Of about 800
yards over tho range of the present
battle sight. i
At first it would appear that some
trouble might be met in sighting.
However, no difficulty whatever il
found in aiming at a point five feet
six inches below a mans feet, partic-
ularly as the man is conveniently on
the spot to afford a gauge, very much
like a foot rule photographed with an
Dther object to indicate comparative
heights.
The new system is the invention OF
H. Ommundsen, an Englishman, who
won the kings prize at a recent Eng
fish national shoot and who has been
high up in the same contest on several
other occasions.

Color Artist and tho Vegetable,

Eggplant purple! Yes, that is one of
he very newest shades this season.
Perhaps you knew it last year by
ZONE entirely different name, but
here can be no monotony in color any
ore than in skirts or waists. Last
rear we borrowed the names for some
Of the fashionable colors from the
fruits and the flowers in many cases.
This season we seem to be coming
aown a peg, and have gone off into the
vegetable garden for inspira-
ion.
It is not only eggplant purple, but
lettuce and artichoke greens, radish
pink, tomato red and potato brown.
These are fashionable names for fash
enable colors. But all of them are
lsed more or less az trimming touches,
or we still have many somber shades

brown, taupe and midnight blue are
decidedly the vogue.-Woman's Homo

lively that her husband is not guilty,
