THE LATEST FASHION.

(Clear Creek County Poet.)
If you want the latest fashion and
want TO have lit right,
Give instructions to your tailor to
make your pants skin tight.
No pockets to hold anything, not
even nasal rag,
All articles for private use men car
ry in bag.
This is the latest edict if you want
to be in fashion.
To carry a small hand bag with all
your ready cash in,
A looking glass, a powder puff, a
handkerchief or two,
Your keys and rings, and other things
that do belong to you.
But ann going to protest, do not
think it right
To force man bowlegged, to wear
his parts skin tight.
So come all you bowlegged men, and
join me in the fray,
Well make the tailors change the cut
no matter what they say.
I think the hand bag we'll accept,
my reasons / will state;
When we are cut with the boys and
get a glorious skate,
Then we come home (hic) to dear
wifey and swear we're not drunk,
That we simply got lopsided from
carrying that hand trunk.

It looks as though the day OF mus
Inns for underwear was on the de-
crease simply because crepe de chine,
Chinese silk, Italian silk and mercer
lied knitting serve to keep the figure
more slender than any fabric which
holds starch. Women who do not care
to be lavish in their lingerie adopt
combinations that are cut of at the
knees and the bust and have the nat
shoulder straps made from wash rib

not add much to the laundry bill.
Italian silk is expensive, but It IL
one Of the most pleasant fabrics to

MINE DIVIDENDS MOUNT

An industry that furnishes fully 60
per cent of all the freight carried
by railroads of America and that
gives employment to over 100000
men, must be remunerative, or else
such results would be impossible OF
attainment. And when 141 compan-
les, which derive their profits from
the results of mine operations, pay
dividends during the first five months
of 1913, of SOL ,692, POI, it is evident
that remuneration is not restricted
to limited lines According to re-
turns made to Mining and Engineer
ing World, these 141 companies have
paid dividends since their incorpora-
tion, Of $1,O14 ,633, ,7O9. Then this state
ment follows:
Despite these unquestioned statis-
tics, certain publications take pious
care in warming their readers to be-
traying the mines as diabolical con-
trivances to tempt the dollars of
credulous investors from so-called
legitimate channels of enterprise, and
have gone to considerable expense
and trouble to warn intending invest
ors from the attractions of mining
Investments. Conducted on legiti-
mate basis, mining offers the great
est inducements alike to the wealthy
as well as the man of small means.
Take, for instance, such mines as
the Anaconda, Calumet & Hecla, Unit
ed Verde, Goldfield Con-, Bunker
Hill & Sullivan, and hundreds Of 9th
ers, which have yielded greater re-
turns to investors per their capitali-
zation, than any other industrial or
commercial enterprise.
OF mere than passing interest is
the dividends being paid by American
mines and works during the first 3
les mentioned above, 81 operate cop
per properties, all but three in the
United States. These 81 companies
have, indeed, an enviable financial
record, for dividends have been dis
bursed this year, totahng $2O,297 ,49S.
To prove that such dividends are OF
regular occurrence, Mining and Engin-
eering World is able to show that
these companies have paid dividends
since their incorporation, totaling no
less than SAIL, ,00S,702. This is a re-
turn of $165,SS7.701, in excess of
their outstanding share capital.
Ninety-seven of the 141 companies
mentioned above are classed as gold.
silver-lead-zinc producers, and they
have TO their credit during the first
6 months of 1913, dividend payments
totaling s16,650.251. To date. these
companies have enriched their share

tai of $13 ,697 1867 ~
Eight securaty-holding corporations,

THE WEBB BILL
Threatened With Indefinite Delay on
a Technically if Not Defeats
ReintrOduced in the House of Rep
reSentativeS-IS Endorsed by d
Viva VOce Vote.

When the Webb bill was endorsed
in the Senate of the United States
on Monday there was discovered a
technically in the bill which
threatened its delay if not defeat,
but on its return to the House the
technically was removed and the
bill was re-passed by a significant
majority. The bill as passed by the
Senate was in its provisions with
the House measure, but when it was
substituted for the kenyon-Shep-
pard bill in the Senate the number
Of the Senate will was allowed to
remain Oh the passed bill.
This, according to House Parlia-
mentarian Crisp, made the measure
an entirely new one SO far as the
House is concerned.
The bill as passed will go to the
President for his approval which is
certain.
The Picayune in commenting on
the Webb bill says:
The Webb bill, which supplanted
the Kenyon Sheppard bill to divest
Intoxicating liquors of their inter
state commerce character in certain
cases, did not, as was anticipated
before it passed the Senate Monday,
arouse the antagOniSm of the local
liquor dealers. The bill prohibits
Che shipment or transportation OF
spurious, Ninous, matted, fermented
or intoxicating liquors of any kind
from0 one State or territory to an
other and prohibits receiving or
holding or selling of liquor trans
ported in violation of State or ter
ritOrial laws.
The concensus of opinion among
local dealers is that it will annihi-
late the blind tiger and bootlegging
elements from the liquor business to
a certain extent, but that in some
instances it will not do that.
Members of the AntisaloOn League
and those opposed to the measure
say that the bill will not only do
away with blind tigers and other
illicit forms of the sale of liquor but
will greatly decrease the amount OF

By cIARISsA MACKIE

The second time that Philip Newton
and bis young assistant set forth to
capture the Junk which they believed
to be stealing merchandise from the
big Shanghai warehouse OF Gordon &
Co. they set forth up the river in
little sampan. Their steam launch had
been sunk In previous encounter
with the robbers.
They had barely launched them
selves on the river when the sampan
was run down In the darkness and
they both lost consciousness.
When Philip opened his eyes he
stared about him. Through some crew
ice a thin shaft of sunlight frightened
the dark interior of stone walled
room.
There was polished floor Of dark
stone, with lofty walls and ceiling OF
the same material. Here and there.
peering malevolently from deep re-
cessed inches, were hideous gods, shah
by with faded paint and furnished gilt.
There was not another article in the
room-just the four walls and the
painted idols.
There was not a door or a window
that was visible, yet the air was fresh
and sweet, and as his eyes became &C
customed to the gloom Philip noted
that from some quarter there was diff
fused a modicum Of light into what
would otherwise have been pitchy
blackness.
The ray Of sunlight shot aslant from
a ting crack In the angle of the ceiling.
and something told Philip that above
him were growing grass and warm sun
shine and singing birds, and yet in the
room was a deathlike silence save for
Peters breathing. the silence of death
At that instant Peter groaned and
opened his eyes with wonderment.
Philip let the boy become accustomed
to the strange quarters in which they
found themselves before he spoke.
In few minutes they were. suffi-
penings on the sampan.
Slowly he made tour of the subter-
ranean chamber, examining the idols
in their hooks and seeking FOR some
avenue of escape.
Exit there must be from some quar-
ter, although the smooth polished walls
showed no break or opening that was
not firmly cemented.
He had reached the corner Of the
room farthest from where he and Pc
ter Cook had been sitting since their
return to consciousness when sharp
exclamation caused him to turn quickly.
AS he faced about he felt cold rush
Of air on his cheek-air sreeking with
the biting smell of opium. Philip star
ed and stared again at the empty room.

Law Enforcement.

There are now enforceable within
the corporate limits of the City OF
Shreveport two ordinances recently
adopted by the Council the purpose
of which is to abate gambling and
the joints where intoXicants are sold
under the guise of the sO-called
near-beer business. The ordinances
are copies of the ordinances adopt
ed by the authorities of Ruston, La,
which are drastic, and if enforced
rigidly and fairly will operate to-
wards a better condition than now
prevails in Shreveport.
Under these ordinances the police
with search warrants may enter any
premises where it is suspected that
intOXicants are being sold or gam
bling is INDUCED.
When these ordinances were en-
acted the opinion of lawyers was
that these ordinances would not
stand the test of the Supreme Court
and would be declared to be uncon-
stitutiOnal, but such opinion must
be dismissed, since on Monday the
Supreme Court of this State sitting
in New Orleans passed on the Rus
ton ordinances, which were sus-
tanned, and therefore are in force
and full effect.
AS provided by these ordinances,
upon the report of any reputable
citizen, or upon suspicious, the po-
lice with a warrant can raid any OF
the places, and to convict it is only
necessary as evidence to find in such
places intoxicants and the para
phernalia of gambling;
All such places may be closed as
being public nuisances, and the per-
sons found therein when raided @!
entered are liable to be held under
the law.
To compel these violators to have
some respect for the law, drastic
measure was necessary, and now
that it has been obtained and it has
stood the test of the Supreme court
there can be no plea or excuse fol
permitting the defiance of the blinC
tiger nor gambling, and it must RESI-
on the police department to enforce
the ordinances without fear OF
favor. -.
