Red Corn" The one who finds the first

the Sorceress tan old squaw of the
tribe) who calls upon the gods of the
Four Winds to grant the wish.
The Queen, Weeda Wanta, joins the
maidens this year, hoping to get word
from her husband who has been alb
sent a long time.
The squaw declares that no wish
will be granted this year because of
some crime The blame is fixed upon
the queens sister, Impee Light, a mis-
chievous maiden. She is threatened
with burning at the stake but is saved
by the queens intervention. Night

queens children-Fudgee Wudgee and
Pudgee-and the maidens with The

CELEBRATED CITIZENS JOIN MOB
TRAILING TOWNS FIRST SLIT SKIRT

on a circus day. And everybody was
suddenly moving in the same direction.
What was the magnet that drew the
eyes Of the mob? The same slit skirt.
AS it moved up and down the street
the mob grew larger. Finally the form
divine disappeared up fight of stairs
into a certain office. Nothing was left
to do but sit calmly till "Mary's calf
should appear.
So they went into certain drinking
establishment and waited, more or less
calmly. Such comments as She is q
second Venus; Lady Constance Rich
ardson has nothing on her." and Cleo
patra come to life" were passed. Spec
ulation ran wild as to who the bold
female might be. Odds were laid that
it was either Gaby Deslys or Evelyn
Nesbit. But all of sudden the talk
subsidized and a rush for the door TOOK

The center of attraction had appear
ed. At last they were to get a glimpse
of the features of the woman of mys-
terry. Neck muscles came near pop
ping, as the short fellows attempted to
see over the shoulders of their larger
brothers. A score of men held their
breath in expectancy. And then her
identity was disclosed.

ANKLET STOCKINGS is
LATEST FASHION FREAK
Some of Fine Gold Tissue
and Lace Sell for 5000

London, Sept. 9.-Bracelet stockings
are the newest fashion freaks for
London's smart socitty women.
This fad is a modification of the
ieweled hands and golden anklets SO
popular in certain section of Paris
ian society. The new dainties are of
black silk with a wide band, embroi1-
cred in blue, green, yellow or purple
silk encircling the ankle.
The advent of the slashed skirt is
responsible for the changes in hosiery
as shorter the skirt the brighter the
stocking.
One enterprising dealer has brought
over from Paris dainty hosiery With
jewels slashed around the ankle, the
sparkle and color being plainly seen
through the thin silken mesh. AS
much as 5000 is asked for pair.
These are made of fine gold tissue and
real lace. Chantilly and Mechlin be-
ing the popular fabrics.

MAILING TAMMANY TO CROSS.

Mayor-elect John Purroy Mitchell
says that one of the first things he is
going to set his shoulder to is the
political death of Charles F. Murphy
and the rout of Tammany Hall as it
is at present constituted.
Four years ago the hope of Tam
many was William j. Gaynor, and
the mayor proved that it had a very
flimsy foundation. In some of the
first appointments that Mr. Gaynor
made the interests of the organiza-
tion were furthered, but as his ad-
ministration wore on he was inclined
more and more to name men who had
nothing whatever to do with Tam
many Hall. Some of them were its
avowed enemies.
But Tammany for the last two
years has had the rich pickings of
the sheriff's office in Kings county, a
job which pays to the sheriff in fees
and incidental charges something like
S65, 900 year, besides a vast amount
|of incidental patronage.

THEIR NARROW ESCAPE.

Passengers among whom were Mr..
and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt took an
interest in two American girls, one
nineteen and the other seventeen,
who were on board the steamship go
ing alone to Brazil.
1t developed they were vaudeville
performers consigned to a place of
amusement they knew nothing about.
An American merchant who was
on board said that the music hall in
Rio Janeiro was not a fit place for
them to go to, and advised that it
would be better for them to return
home on the next steamer leaving
Rio Janeiro for New York.
This was arranged for after much
trouble and an appeal to the United
States Consul at Rio, the music hall
proprietor trying to detain the girls.
This looks like case in which So
cieties and individuals interested in
the protection of girls and women
might do some investigating

you realize that large percentage
of the inhabitants bear names like
those mentioned above? The wonder
is that any letter. so addressed should
remain in the postoffice up there. 1t
would seem that should Stefan

THE TREND.

The recent elections, like all of
those since that of November. 1912,
show Enthusiastically that the republic
can party IS not going to be swept off
the political map any more than the
democratic party was wiped out by
the great wave of populism 20 years
ago. There is every evidence that
the republican party has the virility
to survive defeat and internal dissen-
sion just as the democratic party has
done most of the time since the civil
war
In November, 1912, the republi-
cans finished a poor third In every
contest at the polls since then with
very few exceptions they have been
second The one important exception
is Massachusetts. But take New
Jersey. The republican candidate for
governor ran second, while Colby, the
progressive, is reported to be a poor
third. In New York the republicans
regain the control of the lower
branch of the legislature, having a
majority over the combined forces oil

results following those of few

FAITH.
Art thou so weary of thy lflded bars
As yonder bird within it's swinging
cage.
Art thou settled as the fixed stars
That know of life nought but their
narrow gauge:
What are the ehnins that hold thee
from the mart,
That bind thee close and still thy
upward flight.
Does raneor fasten In thy secret heart
And cloud thy day till everything Is
night.
Hast thou NO goal. no aim or secret joy,
That wrestles with thy soul to give
it birth.
Hast thou no castle I'm far Spain, to
buoy
Thy sinking soul, distraught, in seas
of worth.
Come. gird thy Ioins with nope, a1i
fears remove.
Take courage from the lives of hon
est men,
Attune the discord of thy life with love
And sow the seeds of faith and
strength again.

PEOPLE ARE WITH THE TIMES.

To the administration organ of
Hammond there must be something
even more sacred about the filthy
water furnished the taxpayers of
Hammond, than there is about the
sacred bull of India. 1t passes all
comprehension except that the truth
hurts. Whenever this newspaper as
a matter of either news or editorial
comment mentions the germ-laden
water supply or the patchwork water
works, the democratic organ gets up
On its hind legs and calls US all the
names in the dictionary and many
that are not. While meteorological
conditions have made the lake water
roiley lately, we defy any one to show

City including them both, that has
been in the horribly dirty condition
that Hammond has. 1t has been SO
dirty that people have refused to
even take a bath in it, We have al
ways insisted that Hammond's water
supply both for quality and quantity
was disgrace to the city and to the
administrations which have failed to
better the conditions, and forty ad-
ministration organs can't change that
fact If the water question was put
to vote in Hammond, nine-tenths OF
the people would stand by this paper

conditions to remain covered from

matically more publicity. And let us

Newspapers and books are our chief
friends. Was not the invention of the
printing press responsible for the
great religious reformation in Europe,
and are not the newspapers of today
the means of pushing through much
needed reform measures, to the joy Of
all right-thinking people? How can
the public stand up and demand reform
if they are ignorant of the conditions
