BUOY AFLOAT FOR SIX YEARS
Strange Story Of the Seas and Their
Mysterious Currents Comes
From Scotland.

A strange story OF the seas and
their mysterious currents was told in
a letter received by Stanley Dollar OF
this city from John Gear at Lerwick,
Scotland, enclosing clipping from the
Shetland Times. published at Lerwick.
and dated September 30.
The item Is to the effect that on
September 13 of this year there was
picked up on the teach at Cullivoe,
Papastour, north of Scotland, a life
buoy, tattered and stained, bearing the
inscriptions: Passed by J. Guthrie.

Captain Guthrie is an assistant local
inspector Of steamboats, for his dis
trict.
The Stanley Dollar was wrecked on
the west coast of Japan In August,
1905, and the buoy must have been
floating in the ocean currents for six
years, until it landed over In Scotland.

FEW DIFFERENCES IN STYLE
Fashions Changes So Small That
Large Outlay on Wardrobe 10 Not
Called For.

There are SO few bitterness in styles
this season that the chances of econo-
MIXING seem better than they have
ever been. We do not really require
to renew our wardrobe unless last
years is shabby, or, for what is per-
haps as good reason in a woman's
eyes, because we happen to want to.
The silhouette shows no changes
that are worth taking into considera-
ton; we are still long and narrow; we
have not changed the model of our cor
sets or our skirts, and what difference
there is lies merely nthe fact that
we are not quite so tube-like as We
were, though the change is barely per-
ceptible.
To be quite accurate, the difference
measures about quarter of q yard
which, distributed all around the hem
Of our garments, is no such great thing

NEW FR0CKS FROM W0RTH'S.
This Great Maker Caters to the Taste
Of the Grande Dame, Not to
the Actress.

Among designers of costumes Worth
stands apart. He caters to crowned
heads and the grande danes and not
to the stage.
At a display of his gowns recently
few changes in style were noticed.
Waists are worn rather high, skirts
are still straight and most of the
bodices are collarless
Two pale blue dinner gowns were
marvels of beauty. Each had a mar
row pointed train and white lace
trimmed the bodices. One had fold
ed f1chu of the lace, which was most
effective.
Several afternoon gowns were espe-
cially lovely. One of these had q
narrow straight skirt, made to touch,
and with high waist line. The bodice
was of black silk yelled with chiffon
and had deep band of gold cmbroi-
derry across the front. 1t was cut
rather low at the neck and had sleeves
which came slightly below the ell
bow.
Another frock was of moleskin chif-
fon velvet, made in virtually the same
style. 1t had band of colored EN-.
broidery instead of the gold.
A third, Of iron-gray velvet, was
trimmed with folds of soft silk and
embroidered with silver.
Sets Of furs were on disr.sy suiti1g
the costumes to perfection. Regal
sets Of sable and ermine, worth q
kings ransom, we're worn By the
models.
Scarfs are extremely wide and
shawl-like, and muffs larger than
ever.

M'INTOSH

in its behalf. Either forgetting the
death penalty he himself had pro-
posed, or else thinking himself too
strong to heed it, he readily Joined In
the plot to cheat his people out Of
their territory. According to ancient
custom no treaty could be ratified
without the whole nations consent
Mcintosh controlled barely one-tenth
Of the needful votes. But the commits
sioners told him the Creeks at large
were sufficiently well represented by
himself and his immediate followers.
So Mcintosh and his adherents signed
the document and it forthwith went
into effect, although it was against
the direct wishes of nine-tenths Of the
Creeks.
Mcintosh lost popularity by this
move. but he managed to evade pun,
ishment at his fellow countrymen's
hands. This so emboldened him that
he decided to earn a little more easy
money. In 1923 he tried to cede one
more tract of Greek land to the gov
eminent. The Creeks merely met and
re-enacted his own earlier law making
such offense punishable by death.
The Reward Of Traitor.
Still thinking himself safe, Mcintosh
consented, for big price. to sign an
other treaty. ceding to Georgian COM
missioners nearly all the remaining
territory of the Creeks. The United
States senate approved this treaty. as
did President John Quincy Adams,
overruling the objections Of Secretary
of State John G. Calhoun, who pointed
out the unfairness of it. The govern
ment expected the Creeks to spring to
arms in rebellion at such Wholesale
robbery. But they did not rebel.
Yet they were not minded to let
Mcintosh enjoy the fruits of his
treachery. They were supplemented
folk, these half-civilized Creeks. They
did not reward graft with high Office
or even set formal investigating
committee to work on the case. They
simply sent 100 braves to the house
at Milledgeville where Mcintosh was
living under what he deemed sufli-
cient guard.
The hundred braves surrounded the
house on May 1. 1925. and calmly Or
dered every inmate not concerned In
the affair to get out. Then they set
fire to the building. AS Mcintosh
rushed from the door in wild dash
for safety they shot him dead.

To Renovate Velvet.

A velvet dress may be renovated by
hanging it up In bathroom filled
with steam from the hot water faucet.
Stop up the doors and windows so
that the steam will not escape, and
spread out the garment over a dress

that the steam can reach it on all
sides. and the velvet will not be
pressed against anything. Let it dry

REL" So writes one commentator
about Chief William Mcintosh of the
Creek Nation, an inspired CRATER,
who, in the end, paid for his dishon-
esty with his life. Mcintosh was the
son Of Scottish soldier who mar
ried the daughter of a Creek chief.
Their son, in early manhood, became
a war chief of the Creeks. When the
majority of his mothers nation" sid
ed with the British in the war Of 1872,
Mcintosh rallied large party Of
braves to the United States standard
and led them valiantly against the al
lies Of the British in several battles
Of the war. He even attacked and de-
stroyed a sub-tribe of hostile Greeks.
200 strong, and was in the foremost
rank Of the American army in the bat
tie Of the Horseshoe" at the ITALIA
poosa river, where Gen. Andrew Jack
son finally crushed Red Eagles Creek
army.
A Chiefs Mistake.
All this won for Mcintosh the trust
and gratitude Of the government even
while it led many of his fellow In
dams to curse him as a traitor. But
he had already risen too high among
the Creeks to be overthrown by such
accusations. He had, year before
the war, earned by one at a reputa-
lion for patriotism. 1t had happened
In this way: In 1905 millions of acres
OF Creek Indian land had been handed
over by the government to the state
Of Georgia. Mcintosh pointed out to
the Creeks that few more such trans
fers of their territory would leave
them homeless. Having thus aroused
their fears, he drafted law in 1811--
which they promptly passed in tho
nations" General Concentrating II
an effense punishable by death for
Creek to sell any of the land that still
remained. The memory Of the part
Mcintosh had played in framing this
law now stood him in good stead. Lat
death warrant.
After the Creek war the government
conf1scated much of the "hosttle's"
territory. In 1861 the citizens Of
Georgia had treaty drawn up grant
ing them still more Indian land Nc

to the treaty and to use his influence

such a game of retaliation. He knew
that large bands Of friendly Indians
traded in furs with the French at Mon
treal and that such bands went to
and from Montreal guarded by French
troops. By assailing these traders he
would not only be showing Indians
the danger OF friendship with the
French. but would also be wounding
the latter in vulnerable spot 49, the
bank account-by breaking up their
fur trade.
So he fell upon all such trading par.
ties; killing both the friendly Indians
and their French guards. and Selling
the precious furs they carried. So
successful was Black Kettle at this

his French foes. The scheme was
