spect them. Our vigorous conduct back
in 1906, 1907, 1905. and 1893 cost US a heavy
toll but II was notice to the people Of
Pennsylvania that the State police were
not afraid of anything. that they played
no favorites. and that when they started
after a man they captured him.

took refuge in a house. Five troopers

By JAMES b. MORROW.

Philadelphia. April 1s-with the fingers
Of his hands locked across his body just
above the waist line, his feet on his
desk and boots on his feet, Samuel w.
Pennypacker was brooding over one
phase Of his perplexities as governor Of
Pennsylvania
When he arose, walked to a window In
his office and looked out upon pigeons
and squirrels foraging in the State
House grounds, an idea, new In this
country, had taken shape in his mind
Soon a law Of the legislature put the
idea into workable form.
A young horseman, shaved, tanned and
trained down to the bone, uniformed In
gray and armed with q SS-caliber re-
volver, a 45-caIiber carbine and hickory
club twenty-five inches long is flesh
and blood manifestation of Gov. Penny
hackers conception and the statute Of
the Harrisburg lawmakers
Seen in a country road or a village
street, he looks like a vigflant and
hard-riding military man. He is all OF
that and much more besides Nine times
in ten he was once in the cavalry of
Uncle Sam. A millionaire and a miner
are the same to him, within the law
or outside of II. He is ready for any
service ranging in adventure from the
chasing of a poultry thief to the capture
nf a murderer. He will shoot a mad
dog or search for child lost In the
forest. He will go for a doctor or he will
trap a Black Hand letter writer and ex-
tortioner.
OfhciaIly he is known as State police
man. He has been killed and wounded by
pistols and gu: }. his skull has been
fractured by brickbats and stones, but he
rides on, in and out Of small rural
towns, through rocky and crooked noun
tain roads and in valleys, past school
houses and farm houses and fields filled
with cattle or growing grain. Dying,
another stern and silent rider gets his
weapons and his horse.
A Soldier and n Dandy.
Having the law as he wanted it
and 1t is one of the briefest ever writ
ten in a statute book-Gov. Penny
hacker began a search for the man.
Emphasize the definite article.) He
found him. as he thought, in Maj. John
c. Groome, a merchant, a veteran of
the Spanish war. and for sixteen years
captain of the Philadelphia City Troop.
Now, Mai. Groome is a dual per
sonalfty, in that he is a soldier, If
there ever was one, and a dandy be-
sides. There have been plenty of such
men in France and in England. both
in fiction and in fact. 1 observe as
he talks to me in his ONCE, the walls
Of which are hung with old prints. that
his finger nails are manicured, that the
ends of his short mustache are waxed
and that he wears silk shirt and
quaint ring with diamonds in it.
In Porto Rico, where he took his troop
of lawyers, brokers, bankers and manu-
facturers, and where he remained for
several months, he kept his command in
their flannel shirts and under their shell
ter tents at night. It is told Of him
that he walked the streets Of his camp

sleepers, who, to escape the heat, were

OF them were Of bad reputation. AS the

own.

Gov. Pennypackcr wanted TO get clear

Beaded OTnamentations Are.
 Popular

READS are very much in vogue at
 present and are being extensively
 used for decoration in all sorts of ways. Old fashioned strings originally in tended for necklaces or fan chains have
 been broken and rethreaded in new
 forms. In a great many instances the alterations are novel
 Beads have recently made their ap- pearance as decoration upon evening shoes, and pretty pair are those which are designed, with conventfonal- fzed flowers carried out in iridescent beads These are stitched very closely upon net and made in a large variety of colo-s that they will match any shade of evening dress
 The fronts of the silk evening stock ings are also embroidered with beads. the colorings of which blend harmo-
 nious1y with the rest of the costume They are sewed widely apart and can be made to have the appearance of softly glitterfng dewdrops. If it is wished to carry this form of ornarnen- tatfon throughout the whole costume beads may be artisticaIly arranged and seWed on the sash ends of the gown, and, provided that they are not placed too closely together, they will always give a very dainty finish to an evening gown.
 Then there are the bead bags with which our grandmothers were delight GU, ~S11O some OF the EeIlcUleS or this
 period which now remain fare to. be classed among the few beautiful speci- mems displayed in the handiWork of an inartistic generation. For some years these bead bags were ignored and thrust aside as so much rubbish Then some one discovered their loveiiness, and this led to a gen. eral revival of them
 They were brought out from old drawers. trunks and lumber rooms and very soon appeared in ali the shop win dows marked at fabulous prices Now they are difficult to obtain. and it is seI- dom that they can be picked up at Iit- tie antique shops for a dollar or so, as
 in former days.

The Lips Proclaim Character

Cold sores are sometimes the result of colds and chills. At other times they are really stomach sores.'s com ing from a disordered condition of the stomach The fever in them can fre- quently be made to disappear by ap- plications Of hot water. when the sore will vanish without causing any dis comfort
 Otherwise 1t is best to allow 1t to run its course. which will take far less time if the fingers are kept away from it and only astringent remedies applied.
 These harden and dry 1t
 If the lips are kept smooth and the flesh of them firm the offending sores are far less apt to appear. Here again are the lips telltales for if there are bitter. rancorous thoughts surEing up in you most of the time your lips similar ly become hard and harsh, and. con- trastingly, kind thoughts cause the lips to become soft and pliable.
 This you can prove for yourself. If you are thinking pleasant thoughts up go the corners of your mouth. and. see. they are soft Get cross and i'll tenn

MO other feature so plainly procIafms
 the sort of person you are as your lips They are as distinctive of the emotions as she hands of the clock are of the time While thin lips are pecu- fsarly sensitive and bespeak 9 sensitive nature and innate refinement. and while thick lips. especially if the mouth is small. show a passionate nature, with a tendency to grossness. 1t is actually true that lips change with change of character so if you desire to retain a .goods mouth or do not wish to acquire an udbeautiful one the moral is plain
 If the lips are thick and protruding 0r # they sag at the cerners or droop more at one corner than at the other. then to change them you must stop thinking malicious thoughts. harbor- ing grudges and being narrow minded generally Then the lips will gradually begin to record the mental change.
 In the meantime take care that you have no bad habits to overcome. Do not bite the lips or keep pressing them together or finger them. These habits tend to dfsfgure the lips themselves. and they detract a great deal from the pleasing personality you might other wise possess. Practice keeping the lips steady and never touch them ex- cept 10 wash and dress them.

 One of the pretty new dress acces- sories is the extra large linen collar with daring points at the shoulders stirened to stand out away from the coat or frocks.

The shelves where the dishes are to stand should be directly above this draining table. SO that there is no
 walking to and fro putting away dried dishes AS before suggested. these shelves should not be so high as to ne- cessitate constant reaching. for there is nothing more tiring.
 The cheerful comfortable kitchen is a great asset. for it constantly repays any extra expenditure by the pleasure it gives the worker. A bright colored linoIeum on the floor saves scrubbing: a high stool at the table saves standing when preparing vegetables or fruit: a row of hooks for the spoons. strainers and other needfuI utensils saves going
 to the cupboard for them.
 A large window gives afr and sun llight-two absolute essentials-and when this is prettily -curtained- with simple muslin and all the pots and pans are g1eaming on their shelves. who says the kitchen is not one of the most ar- tractive rooms in the home?
