Probate Pioneers viii.

Larned, Kan.-The will Of the late
j. B. Zook, a we'll known pioneer of
this section who died here recently,
has been admitted to probate. The
estate aggregates about $4,000. Mr..
Zook came here with his family in
1886 and for long time lived on
mortgaged railroad land. If it had not
been for the policy of the Santa Fe to
encourage early settlers he would have
lost his home at most any time dur
ing the first ten years of his residence
in this county. But hard work and
hard wheat have told different tale
since the later nineties. The estate,
together with the holdings of his sons
are now worth nearly 100000.

| SLEEVE POCKET FOR THE FAN
innovation Favored by Paris Seems -
Presage Return of Such Re-
! ceptacIes to Fashion.

During the past year the pocket has
been slowly apd steadily regaining its
position in woman's toilettes and even
so daring an innovation as sleeve
pocket has now been made possible.
This is quite the latest fashion note
from Paris, the new form of pocket
being chiefly intended as recepta lie
for the tiny fan, which is so much In
vogue at present.
The pocket is usually inserted in tie
sleeve just below the elbow, the aptr"
ture being cleverly concealed with
lace or chiffon, so that it's presence
is not even suspected until the far
wearer suddenly produces a miniatule
embroidered fan, apparently out dG
her arm.
The fan pocket is to be found o.
either sleeve of a smart afternoot
gown and in some costumes one or
other of the cuffs is frequently pro-
vided with a pocket after the sam
style.
Although originally intended only g.,
hold the fan, as in China, the sleeyn
pocket has been found so convenient
that it is also used to hold lacO
handkerchief, and there Is no doubt
that its dimensions will increase WHEEL
sleeves assume large proportions.

BRACELET is COMING BACK
With the EIbow-Length Sleeve This
Ornament Is Almost Sure to
Have Access of Favor.

The bracelet is to regain the favor
which 1t once held. Modern dress,
with its popular elbow-length sleeve
for day wear, adapts itself ad
mirably to the display of the brace
let. This is the main reason why they
should become popular again.
Bracelets of fine workmanship set
with jewels are bound to find favor.
The designs for these are borrowed
from those of old Egypt and Persia.
The snake armlets which are asso-
ciated with Cleopatra will be worn,
especially with evening dress.
Heavy armlets two inches in width
are patterned after those worn by the
Sabine soldiers when Tarpceia sold
the Roman city, tempted by their gilt
tering glory.
Massive Is most descriptive Of these
bracelets. They are worn on the up
per portion of the arm above the ell
bow.

Jumps to Another Track.

Troy, KAMA st. Joseph & Grand
Island train of two engines and two
cars jumped from it's own tracks here
to the Burlington railroad tracks at
a crossing frog, and to get it back
onto it's own tracks again it became
necessary to run the train to Atchison,
Kan, and back, distance Of fifty
miles. The railroads cross at acute
angles and both engines made the
change of roads without difficulty,
as did one car, but the caboose failed
1t was backed up and put on the rails

to show the farmers the difference 20
tween good and bad roads and if pos
sible interest them in the cause Of
good roads. The farmers have in the
past been opposed to the expense Of
making good roads.

for the University of Kansas students

cree unless she appeared and agreed.

Damask centerpieces are quite Thu
style nowadays. Many clever needle
women outline the flowers or design
of the damask with a dainty stitch 50
as to form a border around the cir
cular piece, and with an edging oil
heavy lace this makes as effective 81
centerpiece as could be desired.
Damask, however, is by no meant
cheap, but If one can make num-

Callahan, under indictment for selling
liquor, served on juries in the Cowley
county district court last week in the
trial of cases almost identical with the
ones for which they will have to stand
trial at this term of court. In both
cases the juries upon which they
served failed to agree upon a verdict.
Why they were not excused or chal-
lenged by the prosecuting attorney
remains unexplained. The fact that
these men were permitted to serve on
juries while under indictment for Of
lenses similar to those they passed up
on, is probably without precedent in
the history of Kansas.
