constant struggle for daily bread that
she has not heretofore had the time

The lady has just attained the sge

CHEESE IT!

Vol Anderson, George Wood and Ar
thur Mcintosh were arrested by Dep
uty Sheriff Thompson and Marshal
Smack this afternoon, charged with
stealing a case of cheese valued at $65
from John Gilbert.
The theft occurred on Friday and
the warrant was sworn out for their
arrest the following day. At first they
could not be located but later it was
found that they were sojourning at
the sawmill above lockwood. This
morning Sheriff Fassbinder went up
to make the arrest, but when he reach
ed his destination he learned the men
had come down to Durango on the
morning train. He telephoned the in
formation to Mr.. Thompson and the
local officers started out to find them.
The culprits were informed that the
officers were after them and they pro-
coed to "cheese it." The tip went
round they were in the vicinity Of the
coke ovens and Messrs. Thompson and
Smack went over to investigate. They
decided the smelter barn might prove
an excellent hiding place and started
to hunt through it. Up in the loft
burrowed deep in the hay they located
their men and made the arrest
1t is said that Anderson and Wood
have been in trouble before but Nc
Intosh has previously borne fairly
good reputation.

THE MENDING BASKET.

Holes in wooden dresses should be
darned with wooden thread matching
the material in color. A good way
TO obtain this is to ravel out several
strands from the material itself and
darn it, working in and out with the
weave; then press the darned place
on the wrong side and you will
scarcely be able to see where the
hole once was.
Gloves or any kind of skin should
always bemended with cotton of the
same shade; even silk gloves should
be mended with cotton. When kid or
suede gloves have holes in them, place
a small piece of the kid under the
hole and darn the gloves down TO it.
1t is always better to patch glove
like this OH the wrong side than to
attempt to draw the hole together and
thus decrease the size of the glove.
Patches should be placed over or
under all large holes. People often
try to darn large holes, but this is a
mistake, for it can never be done sat-
isfactorily. Always patch with tie
same material as used in the thing to
be patched. II the material is faded
or discolored with age try to get n
piece of like age to make the patch

In his studio in Carnegie hall,
Charles Dana Gibson was amused to
receive the other day a printed circu-

that said;
"Yon are cordially invited to par

paid, they must be original, and all
unsuccessf ful drawings will remain the

Mr.. Gibson, who can scarcely be
persuaded to make drawings at $1,000
apiece, smiled over this printed cir
cular and then he took a sheet Of
note paper and, still smiling, he wrote
to the automobile firm:
"You are cordially invited to par
