HOLIDAY ATTIRE
Frontier Celebration Is At
EIts Best-Everobody Happy
And Pleasure Is Supreme

The Second Annual Frontier
Celebration is now in it's final
paroxyisms and at midnight will
be matter Of history.
To say that the celebration is
a success is but to state a fact.
Financially, the affair is a grand
success. AS abusiness getter and
a town booster nothing equals
it. AS an outside advertiser of
the advantages of Winslow and
its opportunities as a home and
business town can not be over.

tors have no means of knowing when
their lines are being observed, and
consequently this is an excellent means
of improving the service.
The reports of the service observer
are sent each day to the general mana
ger at Kansas City. A summary is
made up locally and this is posted in
such a manner that each supervisor
is kept in touch with the service being
rendered by the operators under her
jurisdiction.
At the long distance switch board
are twelve operators, a supervisor, and
an assistant chief operator in. charge
of toll The toll operators handle 700
calls a day.

The merging of the two systems will
make numerous changes necessary.

An sat Home"
Some time in the fall when all the inn

pany would be pleased to have all the
patrons of the system inspect the plant.
Now and then subsequent to the hold
ing of the general "at home" there viii
be occasions when different groups of peo-
pie will be extended a special invitation to
go through the building. For example
there will probably be mothers day,

Nothing but Crepe.

mer. She has experimental, and says
no other material is so satisfactory.
It's softness makes 1t invariably be-
coming, and it Is easy to care for-the
laundering process is Of the simplest
and it needs no pressing. She insists
that her things are not going to look
all alike, either. The crepes can be
embroidered and hemstitched or
trimmed with braid and buttons; the
skirts can be made long or short. She
has ordered several dresses for tennis,
which are to be made with loose shirts
and Byron collars. She has tried
heavy cotton crepe in Norfolk suit,
and found it ideal; so she is enthu-
siastic about her plan, feeling sure 1T
is going to be great success.

OF LACE, BRAIDs AND RIBBON.
This Seasons Models Show Some of
The Prettiest Designs That Milf

for Many Years.

One of the choicest shapes in bon

made of light and lacy braids, narrow
and allover laces and trimmed with
soft plain messaline ribbons and tiny
blossoms. Occasionally pretty mod

FIT CENTERPIEcE OF VELVET
Excellent Manner in Which Effects Of
Age, DiscoIorations, May Be
Covered Up.

A girl who has in her room a table
or chest of drawers whose top is SO
much SCARED or discolored that she
wishes to cover it up will find that a
centerpiece which does not come quite
to the edge of the table will produce a
much better effect than one that 1angs
over the sides. This is, of course, only
true when the lower part Of the table
is good in shape.
These table centerpieces or pads are
made of velvet satin or corded linen
The color effect is the principal thing
to be considered, and the most attrac-
tive of these covers are of dull rich
color such as are to be found in old
velvets and brocades. When the GOV.
ers are made of these rich materials
they are trimmed with bands Of tar
nished gold braid. They may be
made of two or more materials, and
indeed are handsomer and more effec-
tive when there is more than one fab
rio employed in their composition.
They are round or oval, square or OBJ
long, according to the shape of the
table or chest of drawers for which
they are intended.
1t is possible to use number OF
small pieces of the same brocade OF
velvet to trim these table centers. The
middle of the cover may be made of
one piece, and then the smaller pieces
cut into uniform oblongs or squares
may be set around the edge and out
lined with gold braid, strip Of the
braid between the pieces and band
around the middle piece where the
small ones are joined. The gold braid
will not always fit smoothly and the
edges can perfectly well be gathered
in when necessary to make the braid
lie fiat.
When the covers are made of linen
they are trimmed with bands of chintz
of cretonne with linen braid

Gen. Charles Lee-The Traitor Who Threatened America

! ished patriot treasury as recompense
for this possible loss.
Now began Lees American military
career. From the first he seems to
have had two aims. One, to seize
Washington's position as commander
in-chief; the other, to sell the Amer
lean cause, at the best possible terms,
to the British. After more than once
risking the army's welfare by disobey-
ing Washington's orders, Lee was cap
tured at Basking Ridge n. j., by the
British. Whether or not he consented
to the capture in order to carry out
his treason plot cannot be known.
| But during his captivity (most Of
which he spent in a suite of rooms in
New York City HalD he came to
terms of understanding with the Brit
ish general. Howe, and explained to
him his ideas on how best to crush
the Revolution. Thinking he would
be of more use to them in the Revolu-
tionary army than in prison, the Brit
ish set him free in 1878 and he went
back to his duties. (The complete
draft of Lees plan, by which the col
onies might be overthrow, was found
in 1857 among General Howe's pri-
vate papers1
Then came the battle Of Monmouth.
The English, under Clinton. in June,
177S, evacuated Philadelphia and re-
treated across New Jersey to the
British headquarters at New York.
Washington resolved to smash part
of the British army at Monmouth, n.
J., on it's march. Lee begged him not
to make the attempt, but Washington
sent him with an advance guard Of
! 5000 men to overtake the enemy.
Lee caught up with the British at
Monmouth on June %. 1878, and be-
gan the battle in so strange and in
competent way that Lafayette, in
alarm sent a secret message begging
Washington to hurry to the front
Washington arrived in time to meet
Lee in full retreat. He rebuked the
traitor, rallied the army and saved the
day
No one could understand Lees odd
behavior, for no one then knew he
was false. In rage at the rebuke, he
wrote two insulting letters to Wash
ington, who promptly ordered him ar
rested A court-martial suspended
him from active service for a year.
In rage, he retired to mountain hut,
where, for months, he lived like her
nit.
AS his year of suspension drew to
an end, Lee wrote an abusive letter to
congress, and was at once dismissed
from the army. He went to live on an
estate he had bought in the Shenan-
doah Valley In 1882 he visited Phila-
delphia, where he fell i'll and died

George Jeffreys The Demon Judge"

1t was during this kings reign, in
1885, that Jeffreys enacted his vilest
crimes. The Duke of Monmouth had
laid claim to the English throne and
had fooled thousands of simple-mind-
ed farmers and shop folk into joining
his rebellion. The uprising was crush
ed The duke was beheaded His
captured followers were brought be-
fore Jeffreys for trial. Then came a
horror still known as the Bloody
Assizes."
Jeffreys first making his work
easier by falsely limiting that those
who pleaded guilty" would be spar
ed condemned to death 800 men and
boys. (Some historians say 700)
These were hanged after mere mock
cry of trial, during which Jeffreys
alternately raved, cursed, drank. wept,
howled with laughter and behaved in
general like a mailman. Even the
hardest-hearted servants of the king
were Mortified by such slaughter-the
more so since many of the condemned
were innocent people who had taken
no part in the rebellion. Jeffreys was
ordered to be more lenient. So he
sent S41 of the remaining prisoners
to be sold into slavery in India and
the Barbados and had the rest
scourged or thrown into JAIL
Throughout the trial he spared any
one who could pay him large enough
bride. But few of these country folk
and tradesmen could raise such sums
as he demanded For his work at the
Bloody Assizes" Jeffreys was made
Lord Chancellor of England He
boosted that as chief justice he had
hanged more men and women than
all his predecessors put together.
Three years later the English peo-
pie grew tired of James H. and over
threw him. He fed into exile. JEFF
freys. knowing how he himself was
hated by the people, tried to get Sc
cretly out of England He shaved
off his shaggy eyebrows, dressed as a
sailor and boarded an outgoing ship.
But on the eve of sailing ne went
ashore and got drunk IN waterside
tavern. A poor writer whom ne had
once unjustly punished recognized
him
1T is the bloody judge!" shouted
the writer.
The mob hurled themselves upon
the disguised Jeffreys and were tear
ing him to pieces when the authorities
rescued him. He was taken to the
Tower of London and imprisoned
there. until at the age of forty he
drank himself to death Though he
had ten children his family soon died
out. His OWE name. however, is still
remembered and cursed Throughout
England
