SettIinn Siberia.

Omsk, Siberia, has become the out
fitting point for an extraordinary mi
grafton, estimated at 100000 people
annually, which pours into the country
bordering on Mongolia. Nothing in
Europe or Asia has ever been quite
so like the springing up of the great
cities of the American middle west
as is the growth today of new towns
in Siberia. Except that the tide is
moving east instead of west the move
ment has many parallels to the won
derful migration which won the west
for America. There are, however, two
striking differences. The first is that
the pioneering is comparatively luxu-
rious compared to the American move
ment, while the natives, instead Of be-
ing swept aside, are being absorbed
by intermarriage with tho settler. The
ten-day journey up the Irish river
from Omsk into the promised land is
made by steamboats, which are the last
word in the luxury and convenience OF
river traffic.

DRUG HOUSE ENJOINED
BY FEDERAL COURT

Judge jeremiah Neterer, of the
United States district court, to-day
granted permanent injunction in~be-
half Of the Centaur Company of New
York, the manufacturers of Fletchers
Castoria, against the Stewart &
Holmes Drug Company Of this city.
The controversy arose from the SIM
u1ating of the labels of this well-known
preparation, and from the evidence
filed in the case it was shown that the
infringing label was first discovered
on sale in Honolulu, and was traced to
it's origin here in Seattle.
The defendant company is one of
the Oldest and largest concerns of it's
kind in the Northwest.
The decree carries with it an order
that the Stewart & Holmes Company
recall the goods which are on the mar
ket under the infringing label, and to
pay all costs in the suit and damages
assessed at $400.-Seattle, Wash.

COMBINATION BAG AND MUFF
Idea Evolved by Clever Woman Is
Well Worth Being Copied and Is
Easy to Garry Out.

Starting out on a shopping expedi-
ton, one woman said to her friend:
Aren't you going to carry your hand
bag?" mo" replied the other, Il
have made bag in my muff. and it Is
much more convenient than carrying
an extra one this cold weather, and
the muff answers the purpose of both
muff and bag"
She handed the muff to her compan-
ion for inspection, says the Christian
Science Monitor. In it were two bags
or pockets. The first was large, being
about two-thirds the size of one side
of the muff, and in this were slipped
small packages, letters or anything
of the kind that it was necessary to
carry, and a large button securely
fastened the lap which prevented any
thing from slipping out.
On the outside of this large pocket
was g small one for holding little
pocketbook and keys. This was also
fastened with a large button and but
tonhole. so that the contents of the
pocket were secure and this saved the
carrying of a handbag, which was a
great convenience and enabled the
owner of the muff to keep both hands
protected.

covered with cretonne, worsted bro

neatly finished at the edges with a

that is not necessary, and it has nat

Kingsville, Monty trouble began

around my ankle; sometimes it would

BRIGHTEN and Clean Your Furs,

Many find that as they wear their
furs the fur is apt to become sodden
looking and dull. A good way to rem
edy this is to hang them out in the air,
then take a whiskbroom, dip it into
grain alcohol and brush vigorously the
wrong way of the fur. Sometimes a
comb helps to loosen up the matted
parts. Use plenty of alcohol and brush
until every inch has been covered-al-
ways brushing the wrong way of the
fur. Let them hang until they become
thoroughly dried, pounding them occa-
sionally with the fiat side of the whisk-
broom. When well aired, brush with a
stiff brush the right way"

FIERCE FIGHT WITH NATURE
Lighthouse Builders Had TO Face OFF.
fieUlties That Seemed Almost

which really gave an impetus to light.

sea-builder has achieved many notable
conquests in all parts of the globe.
The first erected was that built by
AIR. r. Stevenson on the Bell rock. on
the famous Inchcape reef, of tina
coast of Scotland. The construction
of this lighthouse was one long, ter.
rible battle with the angry sea. The
securing of the foundations, naturally
the most hazardous palt of the wnole
undertaking, proved exceedingly diff.
flcult.
1t is recorded that the men worked
with desperation. Only two could re-
main on the rock at a time, but they
stuck there with the tenacity OF
leeches, the cold waters OF the North
sea bearing down every few minutes
and sweeping entirely over them.
When the first stone was at last
swung into position the men, ragged,
chilled and worn with the awful strug.
gle, chung to the iron rods which they
had erected upon the root and cheered
madly, like soldiers just over the ram
parts of an enemy's forts. Again and
again they were absolutely driven
from the rock. When the tower be.
gan to appear well above the sea, ter.
rible storms arose and swamped the
works On several occasions blocks
weighing as much as two tons were
ruthlessly torn out of their places and
swept into the sea. despite dove
