Elizabeth knew she'd enjoy it. she
was really crazy to 60. Anyway.
she'd let him know the next day.
The following morning there came
what Winthrop considered very
chilly note. Elizabeth had decided
after all that it wouldn't be possible
for her to arrange to 60.
Winthrop decided savagely that he
would let her alone. The world was
full Of girls
Nevertheless, a week or 80 later ho
found himself once more calling on
Elizabeth. Her cordial greeting and
unconcealed pleasure In his company
soothed and encouraged him. She
certainly didn't seem like the girl who
would blow hot one minute and cold
the next. Why, then, he wondered.

DIARY OF FATHER TIME
It is a curious instance of the con-
servative tendency of the rural mind
in England that the custom of ring
ing the cur'ew bell should have so
long survived its original significance.
The curfew bell was rung in certain
places in England as far back as the
time of Alfred, but William the Con-
queror issued an edict ordering it to
be rung at sunset, all over England.
It's primary aim was a precaution
against fire, this danger being an
eYer-present one in those days of
chimneyless wooden houses.
Curfew is still religiously tolled in
many hundreds of towns and viii
lagos; here and there it has become
identified win local customs. At
Newcastle, uI-til it was discontinued,
it was the signal for shutting up the
shops. At Durham, it heralds the
closing of the college gates; while in
many Cheshire and Yorkshire vii
,lages it has for hundreds of years,
warned farmers to lock up their cat
tie for the night. The Pilgrims and
the Puritans brought the custom
over with them to New England,
where the curfew bell is still rung in
many towns and villages.
So firmly has the custom intrench-
ed itself in parts of New England,
that in 1894 there was a popular up
rising at the old seaport town of
Portsmouth, New Hampshire, when
the more progressive residents
sought to abolish the ringing of the
bell of the North Church at 9 o'clock
every night: The Old-timers rose in
their wrath at the idea with the re-
suit that it is Tung to this day.

NOME REBUILDING
 NEED CARPENTERS
Cold Storage Plant Sufferes the Heaviest Loss, Also Mosquito
 Fleet Suffer.

Nome, Oct. 9.--With the end of the storm the people of Nome are Lotaling up their losses and are starting the work of rebuild ing the city. The loss will reach ,5OO,OOO. All the buildings on the sandspit have been washed away and all the homes along the beach are gone, having been crushed in by the heavy seas which beat high upon the beach. the Pacific Cold Storage company, te Pacific Cold Storage company, the company havlng lost SlOO,- 900 in buildings and produce, which they had stored for the winter use. All the vegetables, fruits, eggs, meat and perish able supplies are gone and it is doubtful if the plant eau be re- built this winter.
 The Sessions company, OWnInS he Iightrragc ana coal business, will suffer to the amount of SGD,- UON.
 The mosquito fleet will also
 miss many of the best boats. Eight of the small trading Nes- Selg, are so badly wrecked that
 they will never be repaired. The constant pounding of the boats
 un he beach has broken them
 up, although some seem not to
 have suffered so much damage. The business men and the peO- pie of the town have taken heart
 and the work of rebuilding has
 commenced, and carpenters are at d premium. Men are tearing
 away the old buildings and us ing lhe lumber for he new struc- lures which will be small and
 mostly one story.
 The body of a man has been found in the wreckagc and one
 man is missing, but the loss of
 life will be very light, as the peo- pie left the buildings long before
 lhep were washed into the sea or
 came crashing to the beach, when l they were undermined by the
 breakers.

Evening Scene.

The western sky is tinged with rose. the day is ended now; and wearily the farmer goes to milk the muIey COW. The COW has anger in her eyes. and life to her seems stale. for all day long she $ swatted flies with her brisk. ropy tail. The farmer lakes his ml;k.. ing stool and sits down bv her side. ''Sn. Boss! So, Boss!" we hear him dronl. "tlndgasi your DrindIcd hide! So. Boss: su. Boss! I'll take rail or H>1 a pitchfork $ prOngs. if you !rH't keep your doggonr tail where your dcrncd tail belongs. Sc. Bossy, so--so and repeat. Be still. you pesky fool. You want to use your big splay feet to knock me off this stool. I"uNc knocked the bucket half a block, and still your tail you switch. Just wait until 1 get rock, FIJI show you which is which! The dusk has deepened into night; the zephyrs whisper low; the stars present a WOndrOuS sight, a mill lion worlds aglOw. And still through dingle and through dale the farmer trails his COW, and soaks her with a cedar rail upon her bulging brow. And we, though kindly and humane. can only cheer him on. for we've milked cows--and know the slrain--al pNentidc and dawn.

of the g rife were in the pock- cts of Anderson, while the rifle
 was found near the body of Nell son.
 The fact that there had been
 only, one brush bed prepared
 where Anderson was found indi- oates that the camp was that of
 the murderer. Anderson and Nelson were travelling light and
 having money with which to pay
 for meals at the roadhouses, it is
 reasoned that they would not. be likely to camp in the open when
 so near a roadhouse. It is be- lieved that they came upon the
 camp during the night and stop ped to speak with the murderer, whom they may possibly have known.. It is also possible that the murderer may have followed them from the interior, knowing thhey had money. Being tired, it was natural that Anderson, who
 was an elderly man, should sit
 down for a rest. Nelson was young man and did not unsling his pack from his shoulders.
 When the fatal shot was fired he
 evidently ran for the roadhOuse, but was overtaken and killed.

She is a eartoonist of no small talent, and
this gift has aided her materially in some

opera it must be of the small, closely fit
ting type. Otherwise it obstructs the
vision as effectively as would a small
bonnet or toque. A few weeks ago a
woman appeared at crowded theatre
with what she termed a theatre CAP
on her puffed and pompadoured hair.
The construction was of turban shape,
and consisted of masses of tule wound
about wire frame. From the side of
the cap projected a tulle bow so long
and SO wide that it made 1t impossible for
those seated behind the wearer to see one
side of the stage. Three times an usher
requested the owner of the atrocity to re-
move It. Each time her reply was the
same: This is theatre cap, not a
hat, and I refuse to remove it"
/ cite this case an an instance OF how
a fashion that was meant to add to the
comfort of the wearer Of the cap and 10
the convenience of persons sitting behind
her may be abused by vulgarism until
il is a positive nuisance. So l take this
opportunity to plead, Let your theatre cap
be small, and take 1t off when it Is pos
sible to do so.

Nile. Helene MiropolslSy, the prominent
French feminist and woman lawyer at the
French bar, strongly disapproves of the
militant tactics of English suffragists,
says French writer on suffrage. Gees
DANES, rarement gracieuses," she says,
may be furthering their cause In their
own country, but we want none Sf them
here. Let their mother England keep
them and their methods at home"
French feminism, continues Mile. Miro
polsky, must be built up on another basis.
Violence and excessive idealism are alike
repugnant to it. I'VE feninists in France
are, above all things, practical and our
plea for the vote is based solely ON the
fact that we should be extremely useful
as members of the governing bodies of
our country" Speaking of the extraordi-
nary common sense of French women,
she says she believes it to be universally
true that the feminine mind is more
realist than that of the male, and asserts,
as far as France is concerned that If
women were admitted TO parliament there
would be a great Improvement in the gov
ernment of the country. such step
would Lead. she says not to chaos, as
our enemies assert, but would result in
sufficient attention being paid to impor
tant subjects ordinarily neglected, such
as alcoholism, the unemployed question,
and the protection or the aged and of
abandoned children, etc.
'Feminism as we understand 1t in
Trance is not trying to make woman the
counterfeit of man, nor does it strive after
an impossible equality between the sexes.
On the contrary, we recognize the great
difference between them, and, far from
wishing to do away with it, our object
is to utilize this difference in a col1abora
tion for the general welfare of mankind"
In the French chamber the universal
suffrage commission has just adopted q
proposal which gives to women the right
to vote in municipal elections Mile.
Miropolsky halls this as the beginning
of a new era, but admits that votes for
women Is still a long way off in France.
The fact that the cause of feminism is
not so far advanced in France as in some
