Sir Walter SCOTS black and white
tweed trousers figured In paper deal
ing with the designing and coloring of
Scotch tweeds read by Thomas Welsh
at the opening session Of the Textile
congress at Harwick. The author was
one of the earliest wearers of the
tweed and the first pieces made were
in the black and white design.
Colored checks were introduced by
accident A manufacturer had made n
number of pieces and the white was
SO impure and soled they could not be
sold Then some one suggested that
IL the pieces were dyed brown the
defect would be covered. The sugges.
ton was acted upon and a new check
of black and brown was the result
The new color was sent to London
and sold rapidly. II was short step
to dye black and green and blue. and
to make broken checks and the trade
increased amazingly.
Ideas for colors were collected in
the bed of the River Garry and the
pass OF Killiecrankie. 1t was now pos
sible for lady to have a reversible
skirt made up in such way that she
might appear at one time In a modest
blue and at another in the tartan OF
her clan.--London News and Leader.

Want to Join the Spugsf

A new society has been formed.
It's mystic symbols are S. p. y. g.,
and its members are called Spugs.
Written out in long hand, the caba-
listic letters stand for the Society
For the Prevention of Useless Civ
ing. That name is particularly sug-
gestive now that we are on the edge
of the holiday season.
AT Christmas everybody feels OBJ
ligated to give to everybody else,
whether the gift Is needed or not and
even though 1t it given grudingly
and received without welcome
There Is certain hypocrisy, also \
certain bondage, about this which is
out of keeping with the Christmas
spirit. We should give because we
love people and want to show them
a tangible sign OF our affection, or
we should give to do good because
the gift Is needed. But the present
that is only social duty, that has
no good will behind or before 1t. Is
q nlockery and a nuisance. Such
giving the .Spugs" are trying to
discourage.

The Christmas Fund.

According to tradition, Santa
Claus is a jolly little fat man, whc
has nothing on earth to do except tt
make good little boys and girls
happy. He labors necessarily every
day in the year at his shop In Toy
land, making playthings for good
little girls and boys and on one
night-Christma Eve-he devotes
his entire time to the distribution
OF the toys. We don't know just
exactly how he manages to get
around to all the chimnays in one
night, but he does 1t just the same.
III you doubt this statement, inquire
Of some little girl or boy.
Santa Is said to be peculiar about
certain thing. 1t is generally
known that he will not leave pres
ent for any little boy o. girl whose
father or mother cannot pay for It,
Perhaps this II due to the fact that
Santa does not work for profit and
therefore has no fund for charity
work. There are thousands of pooe
children who were not visited by
Santa Claus Last year and there viii
D. a. many and perhaps more this

Decide to STAY With Their New
Purchases Near Pharr.

Four coaches carrying about 100
homeseekers, comprising the Star
Land ~company's ~semi-monthly ex-
'cursion TO the Valley, were brought
in on the Branch passenger arriv-
ing at Z o'clock last night. The
Tourists left later in the evening for
their return north. their carr being
attached to a special train.
The land-seekers' party arrived
in the Valley Sunday night, going
Immediately up the Branch line
where the company's land near
Pharr was visited in automobiles.
twenty-five people, comprising
the members of six families, remain
ed there with their newly acquired
property in the vicinity of Pharr,
not returning with the rest Of the
party to the North.
Though the evening was disagree
able, many of the tourists braved the
elements and visited the uptown
business streets during their stay
here. Several members of the party
were very DESTROYS of viewing the
Rio Grande, evidently in the hopes
of seeing it at high water stage,
from the rains, but when told that
the river was actually falling one or
two of the gentlemen were seen to
open their mouths with utter aston
.iShment.

PECULIAR POSITION

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 22.-That

winds, is we'll illustrated by the po-
.sition of T. NJ. Thomas of ~Ladysmith,

18th congressional district. Like
all other electors chosen in this
state at the primaries, Mr.. Thomas
has been besought with requests
from all parts of the state that he
declare himself as TO what attitude
he will take if elected. In response
to these demands Mr.. Thomas has
given out the following remarkable
statement:
"As a nominee for presidential
.elector of the 18th congressional
district on the republican ticket, 1
have had many inquiries asking for
whom | will cast my electoral bal
lot if elected. Under existing po-
litical conditions, the voters should
know my position on this question.
Some newspapers have quoted
me as saying / would vote for Roose-
welt. In this | have been misquoted.
a am a progressive republican, but
not of the eleventh-hour, bull moose,
Roosevelt anything-for-office varie-
ty. If | am elected as a presidential
Ielector, | shall take it for granted
that the voters of this district favor
tibet election of VIM. H. Taft for
president and shall cast my electoral
ballot for him.
In making. the above statement,
4, however, reserve the right as a
lprivate citizen to and shall cast my
individual ballot for Woodrow Will
son, the only truly consisten pro-
gressive nominee for president"
