heard his father snoring. He and
his mate were sorting some sec

an hour later when a crash arous-

In went the panel of the plat

startled express messengers
could advance or retreat, a quick
hand reached IN, snapped the

swung inwards two men sprang

GLUTTONY PAYS ITS PRICE
Pudding and Pie Heaped Upon Turkey and Its Trimmings Is Apt to
 Cause Trouble.

"A Christmas dinner isn't very digestible meal" said Dr. Henry c. Higgins. the noted dietitian of Du- luth, in arecent lecture.
 Plum pudding and mince pie are meals in themselves. Therefore, consumed on top of two or three pounds of turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and creamed onions and canned corn and peas, pudding and pie are apt to make trouble.
 "There's many severe illness due to Christmas g'uttony that is given some high-soundipg name to gratify the vanity of the patient.

LONDON CREATES FASHIONS.

Although Paris undoubtedly has long been the fashion arbiter for the women of Europe, London of late has been making rival claims in that regard and in some instances not un- justifiable by the fact that where British approval has been lacking Parisian innovations have died a speedy death. One London dress making establishment that pretends to be the equal in prominence of the most famous in Paris, is now mak- ing especially attractive and purely British display of spring models about which all feminine London is talking, and it is generally regarded that these are to be taken as the ab- solute decrees of fashion.

GREAT WORK OF LACE MAKERS
wonderful Court Train Presented to Queen Mary by the Ladies
 of Belfast.

It IS wonderful train that the ladies of Belfast presented to Queen Mary to wear at her crowning at the durbar in Delhi. Modern lace mak- CTS have never produced a garment equal to this one.
 This train is four yards long, two yards wide at the bottom and tapers to shoulder width at the top. Fifty nuns worked six months to make it, and there are more than 5,00O,O0O stitches in the garment, upward of 10000 yards of the finest thread having been used. The pattern is a mingling of roses and fuchsias, wov- CD in thread so delicate as to be scarcely visible in the hands of the workers.
 A great expenditure of labor, un- doubtedly. It is to be remembered. however, that it afforded profitable employment for half hundred de- serving women for considerable period.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-With
leaders certain that the house would
accept all senate amendments to the
measure, and that II would receive
President Taft's approval, the Pana-
ma canal bill, today, became a dip
lomatic question.
In It's present form-and II was be-
|lieved that II would become law In
that shape-the bill utterly ignores
the emphatic protests lodged by
Great Britain. Through Counsellor
|Innee, charge Of the British embassy,
the London foreign ONCE asked that
Legislation affecting free tolls for Am

canal, and the prohibition against
ships, be postponed,
lat the same time expressing strong
|disapproval OF these provisions That
they violated the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty by which America gained
canal rights across the zone was the
contention Great Britain indicated
|she would make.
The state department refused TO
consider the matter as diplomatic

that he has up 10 date, $500 type

dence IN the cases, and when asked
whether IT was not unusual 10 de-
cline to let even the police justices
In on the workings OF the investi-
cation, he smilingly declared that he
didn't think II advisable to bother
the judges with all that preliminary
work"
Gossip TO the effect that the star
chamber" element OF the investigar
tlon would be used as a loophole by
some OF the accused men, was eirily
dismissed by both Prosecutor Shep-
herd and Attorney Wilkins
The former stated that he expected
the aucused men and their attorneys
TO take advantage of every possible
technicality, but he added, with a
very confident smile, that he was "ab-
solutely sure" OF his position.
The investigation has been entire
ly legal, and am absolutely sure that
It's legality cannot be successfully at
tackled" said Mr.. Shepherd.
The prosecuting attorney has a
perfect right to make such investi-
cation of charges OF felony as he sees
fit. II were not satisfied with the
investigation, would never have or
dered the men locked up"
How about the rearrest and later
release OF the aldermen who were al
ready out on bonds?" he was asked
WAS that necessary procednre?"
1T certainly was" he replied. In

This second arrest Is for a second

In connection with the same case,
thought" he was asked.
"Yes," he replied The same case,
but different charge, and the arrests
were necessary"
How about your action with re-
gard to Aid Theisen?" he was asked.
Il have nothing to say about that,
at ALL"
How about your talk In your Office
with Aid. Schultz and Aid Allan?"
Nothing to say about those mat
tiers, either | won't talk about any
