One of Lies Mvsterles.

Nothing in the awful mystery of life
and death is more ineXpIicable than
the widening contrasts of human for
tune. Why should one child be
brought into the world to wealth, dig
nifty and honor, and another child to
sQualor, penury and crime? Can
these disparities of condition be
mended through the political fabric?
If we should place a man in the pres
idency for life. invested with all the
powers needfu! to a wise and benev-
client absolutism, could he change to
any appreciate degree the existing
order? Could he remotely reach the
disease of sin and sloth, of greed

Choose rather large peppers; wash
clean, cut off the tops and scrape out
all seeds. Fill with a mixture made
as follows; To two quarts Of finely
chopped cabbage add four large
onions, about two tablespoonful of
the pepper seed, two tablespoonful
of salt, and either two cupfuis Of
chopped celery, or one-half teaspoon
full of celery seed. Pack the peppers
as soldly as possible. taking care
not to burst them, and press the tops
back on. Lay in jars or crooks and
cover with hot vinegar. To one gal
Ion of vinegar use about half water if
the vinegar is very strong; add tour
cups of sugar and a teaspoonful Of
mixed spices; any spice liked extra
we'll can be used. Cover the peppers
and set away where cool. They do

ermine tails There was a deep,
square collar of the ormine, trimmed
with a fringe of the black tails. The
loose, baggy sleeves were trimmed at
the lower edge with fringe of the
tails
Another wrap was Of moleskin
draped around the shoulders in cape
effect. There was a shaped piece, ex-
tending from the shoulder line almost
to the waist, of gold lace and Orien-
tai embroidery finished by large gold
tassel. A huge muff of the moleskin
accompanied the cloak.
Another handsome afternoon cos
tune was Of black velvet trimmed

| new three-quarter length models with
loose, baggy sleeves set in, much on
the line of the evening wraps There
was a large collar of skunk and mar
row bands of the same fur edged the
| coat Between the bands of the fur
were applied braid motifs. A wide
band Of braid was appliqued on the
bottom of the skirt. In front ap-
peared two rows of buttons and braid
loops.
Another admirable costume was of
taUpe silk brocade and broadcloth,
combined. The Jacket was Of silk
brocade finished with a large collar
Of opossum. The jacket was fastened
with small braid buttons and loops
There were deep cuffs of the fur
trimmed with the buttons and braid.
The skirt was in tunic effect at the
front, and was trimmed with three
large buttons.
Still another costume was Of taupe
velvet and cloth, accompanied by set
of silver fox. The jacket Of velvet
was fashioned in getaway style and
trimmed with braid and buttons. The
skirt was of broadcloth looped up at
the side and front. A lash on the left
side at the bottom showed an under
skirt of velvet. MARY DEAN.

INDIANS DEBT-PAYlNG DAY
ANNUAL PotIatch of Tribes, Custom OF
Years in British Columbia,
Is Held.

An event Of unusual interest to
some 300 adult Indians was brought
to a close on the reservation here by
the singing of a song. hundreds OF
years old, followed by full dress
dance in which eight husky lads play
ed the prominent part.
For some three weeks past the ma
tives have been gathering here. In
dams from Cape Nudge, Comos, Vic
toria, Cowfchan. Kok-si-lah, Duane
han, Clam-clem-e-lats, Musquim, Ku-
per island and Duncan, with the Ma
naimos have had the privilege OF
Strengthening up matters and paying
debts Of twenty years standing as
well as those of more recent date.
AS the old people can neither read
nor write they must perforce have
witnesses to their business transac-
tons.
While the Chinook word for pot
latching' means giving, it also car
ries the meaning of taking. While in
some few cases "cultus potlatches,"
or free gifts, are distributed, in the
main the money handed out or the
blankets given are simply loans for
the future OF the payments of debts
Of longer or more recent standing.
An Indians debts are never out
laWed. If on account of unfortunate
circumstances a man dies without
paying his honest debts his wife or
sons and daughters or more distant
relatives feel that moral obligation
rests upon them which at such gath
erings they dutifully discharge The
amount is paid in full with interest.
This (the INTEREST," is usually given as
q "cuItus potlatch" in which all who
can get it take a share.
As there is more or less mixing up
I'm marriages among the different
tribes the bonds given and presents
received on such OCCASIONS have
their peculiar place in such gather
ings.
Enlarged photographs Of dead rela-
tives are at such times unveiled with
ancient form and ceremony, while
kind acts performed and brave deeds
done are held in everlasting remem-
brance by those who are their lineal
cendants.-Vancouve Sun.

tells this little anecdote of him in the

Sir Henry received a great number
of trivial notes from all sorts of peo-
pie Most of them never got beyond
his secretary, but one at least reach
ed the governor" who found that
the writer complained that he was Sir
Henry's double. and was continually
being mistaken for him. This so an
noyed the gentleman that he insisted
on knowing what the famous actor in
tended to do about 1t.

She Rules by Appearing Not To.

There is one clever woman IN Kan
sas City who is monarch of all she
surveys solely through her tactful at
titude as an old-fashionedf domineer-
ed-over wife. She has a very meek
way of asserting herself, which has all
the force of a diplomat behind it,
while her husband is very positive in
what he says, but not so much so in
what he does.
One evening last week their son,
Robert, was getting his lessons on the
dining room table and he needed a
ruler to draw the straight lines of a
diagram.
Mamma he called out, have we
a ruler in this house?"

TAUGHT A MORAL LESSON
Two Christmas Presents, Neither Of
Which Brought Satisfactory
Results.

There once was q rich old uncle who
had two poor nephews.
And when Christmas came the two
poor nephews were anxious to show
the rich old uncle how much they
thought Of him.
Now the first poor nephew reasoned
that he should impress his rich old
uncle with the great affection he bore
him by some tangible means. So he
drew out his savings and purchased
for his rich old uncle magnificent
gold watch and had it neatly en-
graved. To it he attached gorgeous
chain, put the whole affair in Law
ishly decorated box and sent it to his
rich old uncle with his best wishes.
The second poor nephew figured
that any extreme financial outlay
would convince his rich old uncle
that he was trying to jolly him a bit
too much so he invested nickel in a
neat but tasty Christmas card, which
he mailed to the rich old uncle.
So the rich old uncle received the
two remembrances, and said of the
first nephew:
'Humph! A man who will spend all
he has for a gold watch to give a man
who already has all the watches he
ever will need hasn't got enough
judgment to be trusted with money.
will leave him my blessing and few
words of good advice"
When he looked at the card he nod
ded his head approvingly and said:
There's a man after my own heart
He knew I would not care for an ex-
pensive gift, and he knew that would
value his good wishes, so he very wise
ly sent them to me in this inexpensive
manner. He shows a marked economi-
cal trait and l am sure he will get
along in the world without any aid
from me-
So he made new will and left all
his money to found an institution for
the study of prehistoric manifestations
of microbic diseases in fossilized ami
malculae.
