No Coats in Court.

No Goats in Court.
James ]. McMullen has written to
the Missouri code revision commits
sion, suggesting the submission of an
amendment to the state constitution
authorizing a man to take off his coat
in the courtroom when the weather is
hot.
The necessity for such an amend
ment was forcibly impressed upon
McMullen very recently when he was
compelled to leave a courtroom be-
cause he was without his coat when
the temperature was SO degrees.
This judge-made rule should be
speedily %squelched, MeMullen be-
lieves. If the commission will e to
it that the following is tackled on to
article 25, section 10 of the consti-
tuition, McMullen believes the most
vexatious thing about court proceed
ure will have been remedied:
BE it enacted that every man shall
have the privilege Of the courts for
any lawful purpose if he be respecta'
bly, attired, and that to be so attired

quarters tends to develop mould spots
and musty eggs. The storing of eggs
in rooms having strong odors will
cause them to take up these doors,
and often accounts for their bad
flavor.
Eggs for the market should weigh
o and one-half pounds a dozen. They
should be uniform in size and color,
should be naturally cleaned, not
washed; should be strong-shelled, not
cracked; should be fresh, not over
tive days old; should be laid in clean
nests; when weather is warm they
should be gathered daily-twice, il
possible; should be stored in a cool,
clean, dry place away from flies;
should never be sold from stolen
nests.
A summary of egg losses is given in
Circular No. 14O, Bureau Of Animal
Industry, as follows:
Dirties .................2 per cent
Breakage ........ e.....z per cent
Chick development .....5 per cent
Shrunken or held eggs..5 per cent
Rotten IN per cent
Mouldy or bad favored. n per cent
The farmer is responsible for a
large portion of this loss. Some farm
ers think of collecting eggs only when
O trip to town is to be made. Eggs
from stolen nests, If w~hole-shelled,
often find their way to market. The
housewife holds the eggs where most
convenient, usually in a hot kitchen.
This hastens deterioration. Often,
too, the eggs are held until the basket
Is full or the price goes up. In a
study of egg marketing conditions by
the bureau Of chemistry, Miss Pen
nington found the losses from rots
and other total loss were:
June ...... 81 per cent
July ...................2.7 9 per CEN
August .3.43 per cent
September .............4.03 per cen
October $500. .4.47 per cen
November .S.33 per cen

The following are some of thu
things a farmer can do to proven

avoid dirty eggs by using clean quar-

name which for many years struck terror into
the heart of border criminals was that OF Capt
Lee Hall Captain Hall, who is now over sixty
was at the head of company of rangers, which
covered a territory large as two or three ordl
nary states They were flying squadron that
rode fearlessy into any kind of trouble where
duty called them, and their battles with the In
dams the lawless white men and Mexicans were
SO numerous that they were In almost constant
active service for three or four years. So much
was Captain Hall feared by those who had reason
to dread the ranger service that numerous at
tempts were made to assassinate him, the room
in which he slept being fired into several times at
night.
One summer day about fifteen years ago Cap
tain Hall and his men were taking short rest In
their camp in the Big Bend country, wild and
remote region bordering the upper Rio Grande'
and much frequented a rendezvous by many
murderers, robbers smugglers and great variety
OF other criminals when messenger rode IN
with the news that Southern Pacific train had
been held up and robbed near Dryden. a hundred
and fifty miles away. The word to be up and on
was Immediately given, and the rangers have
neither tents nor chuck wagon to hinder their
movements, but only blanket under which to
sleep and small sack or two In which to carry
their commissary supplies, II was only few min
utes until they were headed across trailless
country for the scene of the robbery. BY daylight
next morning they had made sixty miles OF the
Journey Then leaving their tired horses at
ranch house. they snatched an hours sleep, roped
fresh horses from the corral. saddled them and
were of again.
The trail of the robbers was picked up about
twenty miles from Dryden, and IT was discovered
that they we're headed north, with posse OF
United States marshals already on the chase. BY
making a detour the rangers were enabled to hit
the trail again, ahead OF the deputy marshals On
the fourth day after breaking camp they came
within sight OF the outlaws, and the shooting be-
gan as soon as the rangers and fugitives were
within firing distance One of the robbers was
killed at the first fire, and the second seeing his
escape cut of climbed to point within sight OF
the rangers and deliberately blew out his brains.

Roman Silk and Chiffon.
The Roman silk can be carried out
effectively by using it for an entire

with band of the silk. The chiffon
should be of the predominating color
In the silk.

At this time of the year people who
dance are likely to be thinking about
new frocks. The old ones may be
somewhat shabby, and then one tires
OF wearing the same frock too often.
With the coming Of spring many at
tractive ideas appear for evening
gowns.
One, for instance, is a dress OF al
most any colored satin, draped over
with net Several hounces arranged
in bouffant effect and edged with an
inch wide silver tinselled ribbon may
adorn the skirt. A similar ribbon, only
five inches In width, is draped loosely
around the belt, crossed In the back.
and draped over the hounces on the
hips, finishing in an artistically knot
ted loop rather low over one side.
Wreaths made OF small June rosebuds
and forget-me-nots, when placed over
rose. blue or white chiffon, or over
black velvet, adorn an evening gown
most attractively.
Such a garniture OF chiffon and flow
ers can be easily arranged over q
gown already worn. Chiffon does not
always require an expert to drape it.
Almost any woman with an artistic
sense can use it to help herself out OF
difficulty.

a movement would have terminated differently
under any circumstances.
From the time the ranger organization was
first established its members have been picked
men, proved experts in Workmanship, at home In
the saddle and absolutely fearless in the face of
any danger. In addition, they are required to
be of good moral character, which means that
they do not drink or gamble. The most of them

ranger service they usually return to the ranch

who think that because the boys are always
ready to fight like bunch of wildcats they must
be a reckless, rowdy set Of men. But they are
wrong. The rangers Just naturally as peace
full and Godfearing men you'll find anywhere.
There's Capt. John r. Hughes, for instance. He's
been a ranger for nearly thirty years, and he's
killed a lot of men, but he's great Sunday school
worker A few months ago he was ordered from
his station, Yseta, where he was superintendent
OF the Sunday school, to put down the bootlegging
that was going on in that part Of the Panhandle

Why Cork Returned.

Maxim Gorki's intimate friends In
Italy say that the Russian writer prac-
tically returned to his native country
to die. Cork is said to be in the last
stages of consumption and his death
Is perhaps a question of months, per-
haps days. The doctors who attended
him during the last two months at Ca
pri and Naples gave up his recovery
as hopeless and suggested to his COM
panion, Nine Andreyews, that he re-
turn to Russia. She then persuaded
the writer to accept the pardon
granted him by the Russian govern
ment
