 Siegel Won't Reply.
 MT. Siegel was informed of the statement of his wife in his room at the Hotel Majestic. When he was told that she had said she knew of his crooked" use of the depositors' money, he replied, Why, you don't mean it."
 Asked if he would reply to his wife's charge, MT. Siegel said: "I have nothing to say"
 Stanchfield & Levy, counsel for Siegel and for Vogel also, were i'm formed of the charges made against Siegel by his wife. but Louis S. Levy, who personally has been representing Siegel, declined to discuss the matter. He sent word that he had not heard about it. That answer likewise was made to questions whether Mrs Sic gels claims for alimony, should they be granted, would have priority over the claims of the mercantile creditors and the bank depositors, and whether Siegel had been served in the suit for divorce.
 Mrs. SiegeIs suit will not affect in any way the depositors' money in the hands of Henry Melville. receiver of Henry Siegel & Co.,, bankers, accord ing to Joseph M. Proskauer, counsel for the receiver. MT. Proskauer said that he was able to make an unquali- fled statement to that effect.

wN visiting a new country 1t Is al
ways the surface differences that
jump out at you first. Then If you
u stay long enough, foreign places
get to be familiar and their people
begin to seem like home folks. So In
these South American lands it Is the
surface difference in dress and in the
way of doing the little daily things
that amuses you and makes you feel
that you are seeing strange land,
writes a corresp ondent of the Chicago
Daily News from Entire Rios, Argen-
tina.
The first thing, as l have said, that
you notice here is the high walled gar
den and the terrible absence of open,
trim lawns. Next you are impressed
by the pleasantly slow and easy pass
age Of traffic in the streets. You are
dazzled by the lavish display of gold
braid and the ever visible soldier and
policeman. The strong whiffs of per-
fumes you find less pleasant.
At the Front Door.
In the cities there are doorbells for
calls, but the delivery boys bringing
meat, bread or vegetables to the house
announce their presence at the front
door by loudly clicking a pair of casta-
nets. In the country districts all per-
sons desiring to enter a house clap
their hands for signal and wait pa
tiently at the front gate. None dreams
of stepping into yard until either the
master or a servant comes to open
the gate for them. There is only the
one door through which every one and
everything that comes into the house
must go. Even the garbage is taken
out this way. OF course in the richer
and more modern houses there Is a
rear entrance.

TO MAKE PEARL BEAD BOWS
Ornament Just Now SO Fashionable Ia
Easily Within the Reach OF Any
Clever Girl.

To make these double bows, which
sell in the shops from $1.60 up, re-
quires two strings of small pearl beads,
costing Is cents string; some fine
wire, costing five cents spool, and
some maline, costing five or ten cents.
String about one hundred beads on
piece Of wire, leaving some free wire
at each end. Divide the string into 90
beads each and take the free ends to
the middle and wind them around, thus
forming two loops. This serves for the
outside of the bow. The inside loops
are made in the same way, with the
exception that it only takes rs beads.
The piece which goes over the center
and holds the beads together is made
of two or three strings Of beads OF
about five each. These are sewed to
a small piece Of cloth to give it body,
and also that you may sew it to your
bow of maline. These bows are very
effective also, Of black jet beads on
black maline or ribbon. The larger

p while you grow used to it, and when
you learn that the knife is not merely
a weapon but tool, you see that it is
as necessary and proper for the peon

don his shirt. Without this knife the
man could neither work nor eat in COM

out on these plains is very primitive
and tools and baggage are reduced to

knife with which to eat his meals.
Forks and spoons are, he feels, wholly
unnecessary. He lives almost entirely
on meat roasted over an open fire, SO
his knife is his all in all.
With it he cuts the wood for his
fire. With it he kills the steer or
sheep for his meal and with it he eats.
The first time you see this gaucho
eat you shiver with uneasiness. You
see, he cuts off a generous slab of
the roast, takes a firm hold of 1t with
his teeth, and, holding it so, proceeds

Pump for Summer.

Long, low and rakish-as the sea-
men say, built like yachts the
graceful pump of this summer. The
slender, narrow toe, long vamped and
the moderately high heel, also slen-

foot of a season or two ago. And

kid and buckskin are also seen, but

Even when it is no longer necessary

Women have learned how to do away

sway. Only in the shops Of the fash

For wear over the corsets there are
combinations of many types. Some
are cut in one without even the bead

HAD HIM ALL RIGHT, BUT
1t Was a Question Whether Hunter
or Hunted Had the Best of a
Bad Situation.

A party of choice spirits from the
Mount Ephraim section, where col
ored folk reside, had gone into the
river bottom well provided with coon
dawgs. 1t was not long before a trail
was struck and soon after that the
quarry was freed. The next move
naturally was to climb the tree, so as
to shake down the varmint-coon or
'possum as might happen. Lemon,
very black and venturesOme youth,
undertook the job, while the others
men and dogs-assembled under the
tree. 1t was night time, of course,
and Lemon swarming up was able to
distinguish dimly the figure of an ami
NAL perched in the crotch where
large limb branched out. The fore
feet embraced the trunk, and Lemon
was on the other side from the crotch.
He grabbed the forelegs and held on
so that the creature could neither
escape nor hurt him.
But there proceedings stopped. The
rash hunter was afraid to let go; the
men on the ground were shouting
their impatience, and the bob-cat (for
that was what the varmint was), was
yowling fearsomely and tearing vi
ciously at the bark with its hind claws
What de matter up dar?" called up
a voice from below. '1s you got I'm,
