Hat Box Device.

Slit open the two upright edges Of
your hat box SO that when the cover
is raised this side will drop as If
hinged. This is a good plan when the
box is kept on a shelf, as the hat can
be taken out without taking down the
box. If the hat boxes are covered with
a pretty wall paper, the appearance OF
the cupboard is improved. 4

Rev Books
in Review
Book Of Experience
on the Prairiies

Ridgwell Cullum, author of "The
Way of the Strong" is a Londoner,
but in mind and heart he belongs to
the people of Americas great West,
that country he learned to love first
in the romances of the great Bret
Harte, and later through the medium
OF personal association. Except for
his school days, his life has chiefly
been spent in the world of which he
writes, and the work of telling his
stories is far more often a labor of
love in rousing the memories than
the grind of an authors craft. He
also spent some time in the darker
portions of Africa, but this was some
thing in the nature of a break in
his long career in the West. For he
returned thence with a fresh appe-
tite to the field of his earlier en-
deavors. And so strong does his af-
lection still remain for the country
of his novels that he looks forward
at no very distant date to taking up
definitely his residence in some re-
mote corner of 1t, and drinking In
again the fresh, bright air of the
prairies.
After six years in Africa, Ridgwell
Cullum went to America, where he
gathered most of his material for his
novels in a very practical way. AS
member of the Alaskan Boundary
Commission he was of the party which
opened up the Skagway trail, which
had been closed since last used by
old Hudson bay traders and Indians.
His new book of experiences has just
been published by George w. Jacobs
e. Co., philadelphia.

TRADES COUNCIL
GIVES VIEWS OF
TWO CANDIDATES
Raps Malta, but Approves Can
didacy of Ingalls,, Progressive
Assembly Nominee.

The attitude of two candidates In
the coming election toward union
labor was discussed at meeting OF
the Essex Trades Council, held in
Zimmermans Hall, in South Orange
avenue, last night, when one candj-
date was indorsed by the council and
another criticised by several of the
members.
Charles P. ingalls,, candidate for the
Assembly on the Progressive ticket,
was Endorsed by the council. Frank
Fetridge. delegate from the Building
Trades Council spoke in favor of in
dorsing ingalls,, who, he said, is a
union man.
Freebooter Richard Malta. candi-
date for reelection, who has been
censured by the Building Trades
Council. was criticised by John Has
serman, delegate of Musicians Union
No. 1.
Mr.. Hasserman based his criticism
on remarks made by Mr.. Malta be-
fore a meeting of the Building Trades
Council recently, during which he de-
clared that he Is a friend of union
labor. The council took no official ac-
ton in the matter. Mr.. Malta has
several times been criticised by mem
bers of the council in connection with
is said, was built for Mr.. Malta by
non-union labor.
The Building Trades Council passed
a resolution of censure against Mr..
Malta at recent meeting. Mr.. Mat
tia has spoken before both the Essex
and the Building Trades councils, and
explained that the non-union laborers
had been employed by the contractor
without his knowledge.
Henry j. Lohse, delegate of the
Polishers' Union, stated that John
Greenwald, a member of his union,
had been arrested while doing picket
duty by the Fourth precinct police,
and that he had been refused permits
sion to see the prisoner on union
business. The municipal committee
was instructed to appear before the
Board of Police Commissioners to
make a protest.
The proposed abandonment of the
union store conducted by the Trades
Union ti-Tuberculosis Association,
at 6 Broome street, was again
brought up at the meeting. Another
attempt will be made to keep the
store in operation before the aban-
donment is decided upon.
The store was founded several
years ago to sell union goods. Pro-
ceeds were turned over to the Trades
Union Anti-Tuberculosis Association.
The store prospered at first, but has
not been a paying proposition lately.
The association favors abandoning
the store and has referred the mat
ter to the Trades Council
1t was decided at meeting of the
council last night to make an at
tempt to interest union men in the
store. A committee was appointed
to secure the support of the various
locals.

THE MILLION DOLLAR MYSTERY

! opened it with a key, and swung 1t
| behind him, very careful, however,
not to spring the latch. Naturally
Jim was nightly pleased when ne
| found the door could be opened.
| When Jones, not far behind, saw him
/ open the door, he started to call out
a warning, but thought the better of
it. If Norton was walking into a
trap it was far better that he, Jones,
should remain outside of it. If Jim
did not appear after certain length
of time, he would start an investiRa-
ton on his own account.
No sooner was Jim in the hallway
than he was set upon and overpow-
cred. They had in this house what
was known as "the punishment
room" Here traitors paid the reck--
oning and were never more heard
of. Into this room Jim was uncere-
moniously dropped when Braine found
that he could get no Information
from the resolute reporter.
The room did not look sinister, but
for all that it possessed the faculty
of growing smaller and smaller, slow
ly or swiftly, as the man above at
the lever willed. When Jim was ap-
prised of this fact, he ran madly
about in search of some mode of es-
cape, knowing full well in his heart
that he should not find one.
Presently the machinery began to
work, and Norton's tongue grew dry
with terror. They had him this time;
there was not the least doubt of 1t.
And they led him there by the nose
into the bargain.
Twenty minutes passed, and Jones
concluded it was time for him to act.
He went forward to try the door, but
this time 1t was locked. Jones, how
ever, was NOT without resource. The
house next door was vacant, and he
found a way into this, finally reach
Ing the roof. From this he jumped
to the other roof, found the scu.tle
open, and crept down the stairs,
flight after fight. till the whir of a
motor arrested him.
Conspirators are often overeagert
too. So intent were the rascals upon
the business at hand that they did
not notice the door open slowly. 1t
did not take the butler more than q
moment to realize that his friend and
ally was near certain death. With
an oath he sprang into the room, gave
Braine a push which sent him down
to join the victim, and pitched into
the other two. 1t was battle royal
while it lasted. Jones knocked down
one Of them, yelled to Norton, and
pit. One. end of this rope was at
tached to ring in the wall And up
this rope Norton swarmed after he
had disposed of Braine. The tide of
battle then swung about in favor of
the butler, land shortly the fake re-
porter and his companion were made
to join their chief.
Jones stopped the machinery. He
could not bring himself to let his
enemies die so horribly. Later he
knew he would regret this sentiment.
When the police came, summoned
by some outsider who had heard the
racket of the conflict, there was no
one to be found in the pit. Nor was
there any visible sign of an exit.
There was one, however, built
against such an hour and known only
to the chiefs of the Black Hundred.
And still the golden tinted bank
