ornaments are served. This is as
elaborate as one would care to have
it, for an outing hat
The most elegant hat of all for out
ing wear is good Panama. The fine
ones stand a great amount of bending
and wear and are successfully
cleaned Also they hold their color
in the sun, and the color of the genu-
ing Panama is very beautiful. These
hats are most appropriately trimmed
with scarfs of silk or bands and orna-
ments of ribbon.
Some novel hats made of silk or
other fabrics, shaped by rows of shir-
ring on cords or fine wires, have
been lately introduced for travelling.
They are reversible and give one the
advantage of change, as the inside
and outside are in different colors.
An ornament may be pinned or sewed
to such a hat upon occasion, and it
will serve for regular street wear,
especially if further decorated with
a lace veil. 1t may be fattened out
and carried in a suitcase if necessary,
which is the great point of advantage
in these flexible hats. For sea
voyage they are ideal.

restrained by Captain Benson.
On the return journey, according to
the seamen, Okulu was subjected daily
to taunts and violence. There was no
witness to the shooting, but the cook
says the captain entered his galley
and accused him of waste and dishoW-
esty. His denial was followed by re-
wings and then by blow that felled
him. He arose and was knocked down
again. Fearing for his life, he jumped
up, ran to his bunk, took out a pistol
and fired five shots at the captain.
The bully ran after the first shot and
died on the main deck.
1t was five days before the officers
left in charge put Okulu in confine-
ment by claiming him to table In
the dining room, and then he was well
treated by all.

ROOSTER IS BURGLAR ALARM
Awakens Neighbors of Owner, Who
Finds Thieves Rifling
Hen Coop.

Louisville, Ky.-The goose whose
cackling warned the Roman populace
of the invasion of the Goths and Huns
will now have to share honors with
Wallace Renfro's rooster, which
crowed so loud one night that he
awakened Mr.. Renfro's neighbors In
time for them to give chase to two
burglars who were rifing his hen
coop.
The leoters managed to secure four
fowls which they carried despite the
fact that they were pursued for sew
eral blocks. They had evidently come
with the intention of making whole
sale cleanup, as they left behind sew
eral bags in which they had intended
to stow the fowls
Mr.. Renfro was not at home at the
time of the raid on his hen coop, but
the shrill Growing of his rooster
caused several neighbors to peep out
of their windows just in time to see
dusky forms gliding about in the back
ward of the home at No. 1911 West
Broadway. They gave chase, but were
outdistanced by the feet thieves.
The hen roost of G. F. Minott, at
1909 West Broadway, next door to Mr..
Renfro,s place. was also robbed, and
several valuable fowls were taken.
