Goods to Barter Sails Next
Thursday.
STARVATION AT MISSION

For about 100 year, American sailing

can sailing vessel, loaded with a cargo
Of American goods. will sail next Thurs
day for the West Coast of Africa.
This enterprise Is due TO the efforts
of Arthur Muller, president OF the newly
organized American Tropical Trading

American goods on consgnment--con-
sistlng OF tobacco. -four, pork, salt beef,
vegetables gin, matches-to trade Tor ma
tive products
In the old times the American Tag
flying from Yankee ships took the place
of Lighthouses along this coast, so regu-
larry were they TO be found. The shrewd
Yankee trader, quite often master of the
vessel he sailed evaded or conquered OPP
position wherever he came in contact with
II and returned home with a profit which
modern business minds find hard to be-
lieve.
recently arrived trader from the
West Coast OF Africa who visited the
office of the American Tropical Trading
Company reported the wreck OF the
steamship Fanti at Cape Paimas during
q storm.
The natives, after an effort had been
made to repulse them by the ships crew

AMERICA MODEL FOR EUROPE
Baroness Won Suttner Calls the United
States "Land Of UnIimited
Possibilities"

'"rhe land of unlimited possibilities
and conquered impossibilities" is what
Baroness Bertha Won Suttner calls
America.
ut is to America, the young, new
world, exuberant in strength, glad in
its daring, that tired, cynical Europe
looks to find new hope and faith in
progress" says the baroness, who
declares that Europe is being Ameri.
canized by returning immigrants.
But" she says, "it is pity that
so few people of our better educated
classes travel in your country as you
Americans travel here. But, do you
know, I have often wondered If you
know US as well as you know our art
and antiquities
Zone of my dear American friends
confided to me that they, she and her
husband, had never been In a private
home In Europe until they visited me.
Even though everything is not rosy
in your political arena, though there
is brazen-faced practice of corruption
how do you call it. graft, trusts,
strikes, bribery though you have con-
ditions as complex and problems as
difficult as everywhere else, we look
to you for the solution, for America
is full Of hope, strength, and you
Americans are striving and working"

MADE ILL BY DOGS DEATH
Owner Couldn't Sleep for Thinking Of
Loss Of Pet; So He Sues Chief
Of Police.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-When Chief Of Po-
lice William Hazlett of Tarentum shot
and killed a dog owned by John H.
Huey, the latter was sorely grieved.
So much SO. in fact. that he brought
suit against Hazlett asking damages
to the extent of $35 for the loss Of his
kyoodle.
The bill Of particulars is couched
in terms of endearment for the dead
canine. and the claim for damages is
based on the following grounds:
THAT the loss Of the dog has caused
Huey much distress and discomfort.
and that his health has been impaired
because Of the death of the canine,
as 1t caused him to lose sleep at
nights, and also deprived him of the
animals loye and affection"
Huey declared that money cannot
assuage his grief, but all things con-
sidered, he should be paid for the
dog.

ANTELoPEs ARE VERY SCARCE
Pronghcrn Variety Is Being Hunted
Nearly 70 Extinction AExceed.
Inely Swift Animal.

Denver, Colo.-It would seem to be
something Of feat to climb such
desert boulders as are found In south
ern Colorado. The men who climbed
those rocks camped for several days
at the base of pile of them while
on an antelope hunting expedition.
The pronghorn antelopes which at
one time abounded throughout the
great West have been hunted of late
years to such an extent that they are
becoming very scarce. They are ex-
ceedingly swift animals, however, and
in straightaway chase 1t takes horse
Of unusually good bottom to enable the
hunter to get within rife range. With
the black-powder rifles OF 20 years
ago, and their range OF $50 to 800
yards, there was little danger of the
extinction Of the antelope, but with
the present-day high power smokeless
powder rifles with telescope sights, the
poor antelope is much more frequent
victim. Trusting to his great speed
he seems to take delight in keeping
"just out Of range" and this he could
do to nicely with the older hunters
who carried black-powder Winchea-
ters. running ahead about three hum
dred and fifty or four hundred yards,
and slackening his pace most provok-
ingly when the hunter slackened his.
He seemed to delight in being one of q
party to many a wild goose chase"
But in spite of his extraordinary
vision due to his great telescope eyes,
the antelope apparently cannot adjust

THERE have been SO many develop
ments of the cape that a cape
which is just cape and nothing else
is outnumbered by combinations of
cape and coat, or cape and waistcoat,
and cape suits.
These combinations OF cape and
coat are thoroughly practical gar
ments for the tourist. The outer cape
is removable from the under coat,
leaving shapely, well made and plain
garment for protection when nothing
heavier is needed. Or the coat may
be dispensed with and the cape worn
instead.
For the mountains and the car or
for sailing northern seas, both gar
ments together are comfortable. And
when the sun is high and neither is
needed there is the plain silk blouse
and the straight well-tailored, cloth
skirt, with comfortable shoes having
uppers to match the skirt.

SYNOPSIS.

K .--. r r. !.
Eleanora de Toscana was singing in
Paris. which, perhaps, accounted FOR Ed
ward Courtlandt's appearance there. Null
timillionaire, he wandered about where
fancy dictated. He might be in Paris one
day and Kamche.tka the next. Following
the opera he goes to q cafe and is ac-
costed by a pretty young woman. She
gives him the address of Flora Desimone,
vocal rival of Toscana, and Flora gives
him the address of Eleanora. whom he is
determined to see. Courtlandt enters
Eleanora's apartments. She orders him
out and shoots at him. The next day
Paris is shocked by the mysterious dis
appearance of the prima donna. Realizing
that he may be suspected of the abduc-
ton of Eleanora Courtlandt arranges for
an alibi Eleanora reappears and accuses
alibi is satisfactory to the police and the
charge is dismissed. Eleanorae fees to
Lake Como to rest after the shock. She
is followed by q member of her admirers.
among them the prince who really pro-
cured her abduction.

Paquin, the entire outfit is made in
taupe colored cloth. The coat is fin
ished with rolling collar of black
silk and the cape with narrow fiat re-
vers of cloth. There is rolling coll
lar of batiste fastened to the blouse.
Similar collars, with chemisettes, are
on sale in all the shops, for wearing
under the open-necked blouses.
There Is a charming little hat Of
hemp trimmed with rose foliage and
black and white ribbon. The shoes,
with patent vamps and taupe colored
uppers, are laced. Altogether the cos
tune is in the best manner of the
great designer, when the costume Of
the tailored variety is considered. It
is practical, and it is chic.
Long capes of dark-colored cloth
lined with Roman striped silk or with
silk in plain colors, have prove the
most popular development in the new
reign Of an old friend in garments.

WTTH the oncoming of hot weather
w and the season Of outings and
midsummer festivities, millinery be-
gins to adapt itself to its surround

Of tho three hats pictured here would
be happy choice for the bridesmaid.

ephemeral summertime; two of them,
at least, In an ephemeral style.
However brief their little lives,
beauty and originality are theirs.
Originality so striking, In fact, that
these hats are unique. but of char
acter not likely to be repeated. Hats
similar to the largest one of the three
we are likely to have always with us,
but the other two, we have not seen
their like before, and others, drawn
from tho realm Of fancy and poetry,
