Yours sincerely,

Some of Mr.. Patterson's society
friends took the matter up with Arch
bold.
And here comes one Of the amazing
proofs of Archbolds insolent although
iustihable confidence in the importance
of his influence to control the appoint
ments to the bench in Pennsylvania and
the extent to which this influence was
constantly employed

Attorney General Ellln had given
eminent satisfaction and was re-

satisfaction TO the oil trus, and is in
line for further preferment. He was
even seriously suggested for appoint

United States when President TAFT

name for one OF the vacant places
Going back as far as the year 1898.

this to Governor Hastings

suitable for this stylish and graceful
gown, as well as shallie, china silk
and summer-weight flannel. AS to
flannel, it is not superfuous, for :.
many resorts the morning and evening
are quite cold enough for a wool gown,
and then having a flannel wrapper on
hand proves a great comfort.
AS illustrated, the wrapper Is of blue
nd white shallie, the collar and cuffs
Of white silk, and the belt of soft
blue silk.
l cannot resist offering a suggestion
s to the undertakings needed for the
short vacation, for much of the COM
fort of n weeks outing depends
upon these. One soft silk petticoat
in a dark color would be very useful,
taking the place of several white ones.
For the chilly days, too, a shetland
wool spencer, to wear over or under
the shirtwaists, would be most valu-
able, and this would do away with
the need for special wraps.
But If a long coat is to be bought
have it of ~taffeta, for in this case it
would do both for travelling and for
dress up. Black taffeta coats, three
quarter length and trimmed about
with a little putting, are being sold
for SIS, and the silk of them Is aston
ishingly good. At any rate, they will
wear a season, and a summer coat
of some sort is likely to be needed
for the shortest vacation, unless one
is supplied with a coy UNDERLYING of
some sort, and does not mind the
bother Of dressing and undressing to
suit the morning cool and the mid
day heat. MARY DEAN.

MANIcUREs FOR ANIMALS
Departments to Care for Nails and
Bills Started at Zoo In
PHILADELPHIA.

Philadelphia, Pa.-So as to keep the
nails of the animals from the lion to
the monkey and the bills of the birds
from the eagle to the canary in good
shape, a w~ell-equipped m~anicuring and
dental establishment is maintained at
the geological gardens. The depart
ment is under the supervision of Head
Keeper Manley, and it moves its
sphere of work from cage to cage In
the various houses, as the occasion de-
mands. 1t is constantly at work.
The tools employed by the mani
curists in connection with their labor
among the creatures differ materially
from the dainty utensils used by the
blonde Venus of the barber shop, and
consist of a hammer, a chisel, often a
Ratchet and saw, and always a large,
rugged file about IA inches long. A
sharp, strong pair of steel wire nip
pers is also used on the nails of the
larger cats.
The manicuring establishment at the.
gardens was organized by Superin-
tendent Carson. Realizing that the
animals could not wear off their nails
on the boards of the cages as quickly
as they could On the rocks Of their na-
tive haunts, and that because of this
the claws frequently grew long, turned
and penetrated the soft part of the
foot, Mr.. Carson decided that in order
to alleviate the distress caused by in
growing nails these would have to be
clipped.

at the present day physical proof Of
the pontiff's former obscurity. This
proof lies with his two sisters, Lucre-
cha and Teresa, unobtrusive peasant
women who have followed the pope
from his humble home.
Lucrecia, the cook, in particular, is
keen and critical in the interest of
the pontiff. 1t was she whom he
called from Riese when he was first
attacked by the rheumatic govt that
has proved SO painful and so danger
Gus during his later years. And it is
she, assisted by her sister, Teresa, who
now supervises the pope's meals and
tends him in his illness.
Another interesting figure Of the
pope's household is his brother, An
sslo Sarto, a humble postman, who
spends what time he may in com
pany with the pontiff and his sisters.
1t is his brother upon whom the pope
relies for that masculine companion
ship that is a part of every mortal.
And these two old men, both hand
some and with thick, white hair. alike,
and yet not alike, are the closest COM
panions.

RATTLEsNAKE BITES. BABY
Three Hours After Accident Poison Is
Discharged Child Is
Dead.

Goldendale, Wash.-The three-year-
old daughter of w. B. Smith, who re-
sides on Crofton Prairie, ten miles
west of this city, was bitten by a rat
tlesnake in the finger and died just
three and one-half hours after the &C.
cident.
The child stepped out into the gar
den a few feet from the house to get a
kitten, and as she attempted to pick
up the kitten she was struck by the
snake. The mother corded the arm
at once and applied such antiseptics
as were available.
The accident occurred a quarter
mile from where Mrs. R. D. Gray was
bitten and died as a result about one
year ago. Mrs. Gray vas bitten on
the same finger of the same hand.

BREAKING OUT ON HEAD

1906 Stafford Ave, Scranton, Pa
MY boy took a breaking out first on
his head and it spread all over his
face and was ever in his eye 1t
started IN his head like little blisters;
they filled with water and then a scab
came until it spread all on one side of
his face and head. 1t was on his neck
and shoulder. He was crazy with itch
ing and we could not sleep at night
with him from scratching. 1 thought
he would be blind in one eye. His eye
lid was pulled down. l put rags on
his hands to keep him from scratch
ing. He would cry and kick all night.
His hair came out gradually and his
face was all disfgured.
II put everything 1 heard tell of on
him but the child was no better so I
thought I would try Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. In three days 1 saw a
change, so l kept on using them for
four months until he was entirely
cured. He has no marks now and his
hair is lovely" (Signed) Mrs. Henry
Allen, Apr. 20, 1912.

SIMPLE GOWNS ARE POPULAR.
Rely More on Taste Displayed Than
on characterization, Elaborate
or Otherwise.

Some of the prettiest little dresses
seen recently were either in cache
mire de sole, foulard or crepe de chine,
and they were so very simple that it
will be difficult to describe them. One
was In black cachemire de sole looped
up at the sides just above the height
of the knees, with a narrow shiny
leather belt at the waist, half cherry
colored, half black, and fastening the
corsage across the bust, from shout
der to waist, a line of buttons that
looked like cherries. The low neck
was turned back by a very good lace
collar, and a transparent guimpe filled.
up the decolette.
Another equally simple frock was in
blue crepe de chine with chiffon pan
niers and waterfall back. The corsage
had a quite low waist line and was
full about the bust and under the
arms. A collar and rever of Milan
csc lace lined with blue chiffon trim
med the shoulders, and a guimpe Of
transparent net filled up the decollete,
as in the other dress. The sleeves
were quite long and tight, with lace
frills, and the waist belt was just a
fold of the material hanging in fiat
ends on n side.
1t is said with good authority that
we are surely drifting toward the
wasplike waist, and the news is sad,
for, what with very high heels and
wasplike waists, we shall certainly
store up many evils for ourselves In
the way of poor health.

Old Reindeer Inn.

with it's beautiful stone mullioned win
dow, it's panelled walls and it's plas-
tered ceiling, is said to contain the
finest Jacobean work in the country.
The date 1887 Is carved on the panel
ling, and it was In this room that
Cromwell is recorded as holding a
council just before the battle of Edg-
hill.
In the process Of removing the pan
cling some interesting finds have
been made. Many old coins have been
picked up, the majority being of cop
per and belonging to the eighteenth
century. But the most striking dis
covery has been a double barreled pis-
toll hidden away behind the paneling
ear the fireplace. 1t Is in excellent
preservation and between the two bar
rels runs the inscription: Presented
to Dick Turptn, at the White Bear Inn,
Drury Lane, February Z, 1885," and
the name Of the maker is given as
Baker, London.
Banbury has no legend associating it
with the famous highwayman, but the
genuineness Of the relic is taken for
granted.

TELLS OF VATICAN
Magnificent Structures In Rome
Covered With Vines.
Palace Lies Apart and Distinct From
Rest of Rome, Not Removed
by Isolation, but Through
Its Atmosphere.

Rome, Italy.-Columns have been
written regarding the personal ap-
pearance of the pope, his part in the
ceremony of the consistory and the
pomp and splendor that surrounds the
papal court, yet relatively little is
known of his intimate personality.
This, in part, may be explained by
reason Of the ceremony that sur.
rounds the pontiff and by reason OF
the care that has been taken to guard
him from the approach Of ill-inten-
toned plebeians.
The Vatican itself is a magnificent
old pile whose spires, roofs and gables
rise high above an encircling grove
of ancient trees that decorate its gar
dens. The quiet serenity of the vine
covered masonry, the peaceful males.
ty lent by the hand of ages and the
atmosphere that seems to surround
the hallowed spot through It's long
association with the ecclesiastical his
tory, make its imposing architecture
the most prominent in Rome.
This feature is all the more accen-
tuated after a visit to the ancient Ro-
man amphitheater and the great aque
ducts and mausoleums of the Roman
emperors. These, in truth, are i'm
posing, but they contrast sharply with
the buildings that house the pope and
form the font of the Roman Catholic
animate and magnificent in their
death; while the Vatican is animate
and doubly imposing through the soul
that lives within.
The Vatican, indeed, lies apart and
distinct from the rest of the city. It
is not removed through its isolation,
but through its atmosphere. On the
one hand is the magnificent palace of
King Victor Emmanuel, busy with
the toll Of war and feeding the count
less that lead to the Ghetto,
and on the other Is the palace of the
pope, vast, silent and imposing, set
in an atmosphere of its own and as
much apart from the busy city as
though it were surrounded by a des-
ert.
OF the pope himself, his rites and
character, there are a thousand sto-
ries current. Plus X, the son of a
poor peasant, is hailed everywhere as
the Father, and to his people he has
always retained those simple manners
and customs that marked his novitiate
as parish priest and teacher of the
peasants.
Something besides mere anecdote,
however, forms the foundation for
these stories of simplicity and nobil-
ity Of character. There is in Rome.

big mans many-sidedness. Besides put
ting through the biggest engineering
job in the world, he has been, during
his years at Panama, a stanch fighter
for the laws of economic decency.
Colonel Goethals is a fighter and he
will fight a trust as readily as he will
fight a labor union. Whole cargoes Of
tainted meat have been shipped back
by the commissary, because the beef
trusts goods were not up to sample.
Thousands Of square yards Of screen

CITY OF BANBURY PASSES

ceilings and unexpected beams, and in
its courtyard is the Globe room, which,
