The chase after IN American cle-
phant poacher Rogers in the Lado
Enclaye in Central Africa has brought
into prominence the quiet work which
Is being done there to prevent the eN-
tnction OF the biggest living land ani-
mai.
Something like l2,0OO elephant
bearing ivory valued at s2,6O0O0l
were killed by hunters and poachera
during 1908 and 1903,
For many years the ivory supplied
hy natives from elephants which had
long been dead supplied the demsnd,
but this supply was soon practically
exhausted, and the hunt which began
for Ivory would have rendered tho
elephant extinct, had II not been foI
energetic action by the government
No one may now shoot an elephant
in certain restricted districts, nor %
COW with calf anywhere. For hull
elephant shooting the number Is re-
stricted to two year. and heavy
license is required,
The licensed hunter may not KIN an
animal bearing less than forty pounds
Of ivory, hut the poacher chooses any
thing with tusks. The COW tusks mako
the best billiard balls, and even the
immature bulls do not escape the H.
licit hunter
In spite Of all these restrictions a
large number of elephants Is sull
killed in out OF the way places, In
1907 It became known that the Lado
Euclave swarmed with elephants and
for the sake Of the large GAINS pooch-
ers willing to risk the serious punish
ment Aocked there and James Wood
Rogers, Of PhinNlle, Mchigan. was
one of these. lie and his two English
companions with an armed native
force of 100 caused immense 5laugh-
ter among the herds.

with the death of General Booth
many stories ol the great rellsiou1
leader are being told. Among hia
most engaging weakness was his pride
in the -. c. l., degree conferred on
him by the UnNersiu Of oxford.
When II was conferred there was a
complete absence Of the undcrgradu-
ate horseplay and Raging which usu-
ally DISTINGUISH such a gathering' TINS
Was very striking, especially In view
of tho well known objection of many
prominent members of conN ocatlon To
the offer of he degree.
When the general left the uniNer-

on wearing his academic robes in tn"

SOME OF THE LATEST FADs
Point in Favor Of Most of Them Is
That They Seldom Co to
Extremes.

The latest in Hockwear Is the ex-
tremely large bow Of black or white
pleated maline frequently both col
ors are used together, one yelling the
other.
Novelty features in suit and sepa.
rate coats consist Of the sloping shout
der, belted and colarless effects, long
rolling revers, side buttoning and
large armholes.
Shawl draperies reign triumphant.
They are made OF the daintiest laces
rich brocadcs, soft silks and chiffons
Hardly an evening gown appears with
out this form Of trimming.
This Is the season Of elaborate and
costly materials. We have gone quite
mad about brocaded satin, velvet and
chiffon, metal effects and the rich and
luxurious effects for which the corona
ton was responsible.
A great favorite is the new material
called velour de laine--a mixed suit
Ing, almost like camel's hair. 1t is
particularly effective in q white di.
agonal stripe and there are varia.
tions in tan, light blue and gray
A noticeable feature at some Of the
recent fashionable events, including
the New York Horse Show, was the
very decollete cut Of the evening
gowns, particularly in the back, whera
the point ended well toward the waist.

TURN TO LEATHER CUSHIONS
Those of the Motor Have Proven So
Comfortable that Their Use Is
Becoming General.

The comfort, durability, and appear
anee of motor cushions made OF
leather have commenced this style of
cushion for domestic use, and ladies'
are learning with renewed interest the
arts of enclosing and cutting out
leather.
It Is advisable to obtain one or two
lessons, but having done SO the art
of decorating leather is not difficult,
and It can be applied TO many things
AS well as to bookbinding-whi is
one Of the most artistic of hobbies.
In cushions there is great admlra-
tion for eut-out patterns Of leather,
which must be mounted on cloth,
velvet, or suede, either in the same
color. as Is usually the case when
the leather is chosen, or in contrast.
ing shade, brown leather looking well
over green velvet or cloth.
Meantime there is also great re-.
yiyal of the highly decorative embossl

purses, small and large handbags
Bold designs In leaves or fruit are
Invariably chosen, and the color must
be In one. scheme Green leaves would
not, for instance be introduced upon
green bag, though green might tone
into a dull soft purple, and light
brown leather would show fruit clust-
ers, in which the warmer shades
sluwed to an autumnal red and the
darker softened to a chestnut hue.

lance of freedom. Their deyo-
ton to race III the humanizing
atmosphere of American life
quickens their appreciation of
the good In the competing races.
and to them | look hopefully for
the diminution of all the little
petty prejudices that still oc-
caslonnlly show a sporadic and
fostering form In these free
United States. Prejudice is the
glnother Of suspicion, and suspi-
cion is potential injustice. Faith
and suspicion are as incompatl-
Bile IN American social life as in
English e.ymclogy. Apprecia-
ton Of ones own faith no longer
involves the depreciation of the
faith Of another. On the CON
trary, in these days it induces
liberation ana encouragement Of
the faith of another. So | say TO
you that my dependence on fu-
