Bridal Array Costly.

Brides all over the world like to
make the best display possible on
their wedding day, and the bridal at
tire of the various countries is inva-
riably both costly and beautiful. For
sheer gorgeousness, however, it would
be hard to rival the wedding finery of
the bellies of the island of Sumatra.
The dress is woven ~ntirely of gold
thread, and its weight is so great that
the wearer can hardly move; even
standing up requires distinct effort.
Apart from this shimmering, golden
garment, the bride is loaded down
with gold ornaments, rings, bangles,
earrings, pendants, girdles and neck
laces and sundry ornamental purses
of the same metal. The huge orna-
ments hanging on chains around her
neck are hollow, but all the smaller
charms are of solid native gold. most
massively wrought One might almost
think that the natives, having heard
something about good wife being
worth her weight in gold,' had set
out to prove the fact by loading their
quaint little brides with the actual
equivalent of their weight in the pre-
cious metal.

LETTER SOAKED IN COCAINE
r,nver Prison officials Find the Rane-
ful Drug & MlssiVe to
Inmate.

The core of an apple. the peel of
banana and the stone of a peach have
been used as a means of smuggling Co
caine into the county jail but at
taches believe that an entirely new
plan has been evolved. says a Denver
dispatch.
A letter was received yesterday ad-
dressed to one of the inmates OF the
dope" ward. No signs of cocaine
could be detected in the corners of the
envelope. but the Jail officials decided
to examine the lettei more closely.
A minute scrutiny of the paper on
which the letter was written revealed
that it was saturated with the drug.
There was enough in the sheet to sup
ply one of the victims a week at least.
The letter might have escaped detec-
ton IL ii had not been for the fact that
the sender had overdone his work. A
white powdery substance which COW
cred the entire letter first aroused sus-
picion.
According to the Jail attaches the
paper had been boiled in water in
which there was cocaine. After the
water had boiled away the cocaine
was observed by the paper. which was
then rolled and dried. The sender of
the letter has not been found. He
signed no name.

Pleasant for Auntle.

The unmarried woman who shall be
the subject of this anecdote was fixing
herself up to go out in the evening.
A certain man was going to call for
her, and though the occasion was
somewhat spoiled by the fact that they
would have to take her little niece
along, she evertheless took the usual
care of her complexion, hair and eyes.
For the man was trembling on the
verge of proposal.
The trio-auntie. auntie's beau and
auntie's niece-walked along the
street until they came to one of these
all-night photograph galleries. You
know how awful a person looks, stand
ing in the CHASTITY glare of the mer-
cury-tube lights that they put in the
windows of such places? Well. they
paused in that awful greeny-yallery

MANY DliAIES
ARE UnCLEAN
Can Be Inspected Once in Four
Years by Small Staff.
DEACON WORST OFFENDER
Commissioner Potter Says He's Re-
Iuctant to Let People Know Their
Most Loved Citizen Is That
Sort of Man.

Hartford.-State Food and Dairy
Commissioner Hubert F. Potter sent
warnings to dairymen of the state who
have been reported as maintaining un-
clean stables, to the number of forty
one. The total number of stables
which were inspected was 223, of
which 20 per cent. were Insanitary.
This is an unusually large number of
cases to be reported in a week, the
average being about half as many.
1t is estimated by the commissioner
that about 10 per cent. of the dairies
are found to be unsanitary. To these
a warning is given, and, if the con-
ditions are not improved at the time of
the netx Inspection, a month later,
the farmer is forbidden to sell milk
from the stables. So far this year,
there has been only one case of a deal
er who refused to obey the commits
sioners' order to clean up" and that
officer is wondering what to do with
him. 1t appears that he is town
officer, a deacon in the church, and an
influential man all around. I'VE don't
like to let the people of the town
know that their most loved citizen is
that sort of a man." said the COM
missioner, and I'm going to take
trip down to see him before | take any
steps. If he doesn't listen to reason.
however, I'm going to stop the sale of
his milk. If he tries to go ahead after
that, there'll be complaint filed with
the grand jury and he'll be in trouble"
There are about 10000 diaries in the
state and the commission has the SER
vies of three men to look after them
all. This means that a dairy is only
inspected about once every four years.
While dealer may slick up his place,
when he has been ordered to do so by
the Inspector, there is strong likelihood
that he will slip back in the space of
number of years. The expense OF
sending an Inspector about the coun-
try is about 81 or SIS day. including
his hotel bills and livery hire. The
appropriation is not large enough to
allow the commissioner to pay for
more than three men for this kind of
work. "If we only had enough" said
Mr. Potter, ito inspect every dairy
in the state at least once year, we'd
see the number of complaints dropping
right away AS it is we have to keep
warming the careless ones every time
we get around to them and, in the
meantime, they may have done a lot
of harm in the four years leeway they
have had"

CHANGED the Subject.

He had plastered his touched-up
hair down over his bald spot, and he
had assumed the sort of smile that
his female friends called childish"
when he was in college. His shoes
were shined, and so was his nose.
And then he called on the young lady.

ming, Gertrude" he began, and then
he coughed and added in a trembling
voice, Il may call you Gertrude. may

the young girl Il allow all OF papa's

talked about how much warmer it

Crowd Plunged Into Cellar.

Norwich-Excitemen ran so high
at an auction of antiques at the home
of the late Sarah M. Pitcher, a des-
cendant in the famous Mollie Pitcher,
that the bidders knocked down the
floor while the sale was in progress
and precipitated seventy people into
the cellar. The people present were
bidding on a set of old silver spoons
and several of the women bidders were
jumping up and down in their excite
nent when the floor gave way.
Among those thrown into the cellar
was former Mayor Charles F. Thayer.

and who was conducting the auction
with the assistance of a professional
auetioneera He was slightly cut and
bruised The most seriously hurt was
George A. Fink, an elderly gentleman,
who is keenly interested in antiques,
who happened to be standing near an
old china closet, which fell over on
him The floor broke just in front
of the auetioneer, who by a peculiar
freak of chance, was left standing
safely on the part of the floor which
remained firm. Some of the women

many, picked themselves up hastily
after the fall and continued bidding
from the cellar.

Danbury.-A travelling salesman who
said he was Frank Smith, of Hartford,
was the hero of an incident which
nearly caused panic among score
or more of men and women in the rail-
road station. A man who was under
the influence of liquor, and who later
said he was Merritt Jewell of Bridge
port, got off the train and upon en-
tering the railroad station, drew from
his pocket a 32-calibre revolver which
he tiourished until those near him be-
came alarmed. Several bystanders
who started to retreat were warned
by him not to move any further, and
the situation was beginning to look
serious when the salesman suddenly
pounced upon the intoxicated man and
disarmed him. Jewell was arrested.

believes that few of the holidays prove

shserve Lincoln's Birthday 1t was nee
asssry 10 hold exercises OF an appro-
uriota nature the day before the holt
dav and when the Lincoln's Birthday
rroner arrived, the school children
sinnlv gave up their entire time co
fun pertinent reason, in the mind
~ Dr Gibbs, too, for holding exer-
cises on holidays in the schools is,
that on holidays only do the parents
have an opportunity to visit the
schools. He has often regretted the
fact that more fathers do not take a
deeper interest in the work of the
ecbools and visit the institutions of
learning occasionally. Realizing that
in many cases this is impossible, ex-
cent upon such days when the factor
les and stores are closed DR.. Gibbs
believes that 4 appropriate exercises
are held in the schools on Washing
TONS Birthday, Lincoln's Birthday, sad
holidays of similar import, that faith
ers. enjoying a day off from business,
will be pretty apt to listen kindly to
the idead of spending an hour or so
in the schools to witness the exercises
in which their children participate.
So one of the reasons for observing
the holidays with exercises is to get
the parents into the schools.
