At dinner the other evening the
talk topic turned to a bunch of things
difficult to pronounce, whereat an ap-
propriate anecdote was exploded by
Congressman Edwin Y. Webb of North
Carolina.
Down at the cigar store some time
ago, the congressman said. the regu
lars were talking about the war and
remarking how it gave one something
worse than the faceache to pronounce
the Russian names A man named
Benners, who was sitting near, largely

But when in her pure delight at his

Pan-American Magazine.

some suddenness; it is not really cool,
for Caracas is sheltered by the double
range that closes it in on either hand,
but it Is exceedingly agreeable-a per-

equal during the whole of the year
and only varied by the seasons Of al

The first, and I think the last, i'm.
preston that one gets Of Caracas is
that it is very clean. very spick and

indeed the most embellished city Of
the Caribbean countries.

Her daughter Is engaged to the judge s

the newspaper clippings telling the story
of the murder of Algernon Etheridge by
John Scoville in Dark Hollow, twelve
years before. The judge and Mrs. SEQ
Vile meet at Spencer's Folly and she
shows him how. on the day of the mur-

M UGH ingenuity is evident IN the
kv1 shaping and covering of new par
asols. The skill of the manufacturer
must be equal to making up the most
fanciful dreams of those who originate
colored flowers, with their cups in
verted. They have seized upon the
Persian designs in silks, upon the
broad stripes and checks, and appro-
priated bold-figured laces to make the
most intricate and the most captivat-
ing things!
One of the simpler designs is shown
in the picture. 1t is rather large and
bowl-shaped. It's first covering is Of
white silk. Posed over this is vague
ly flowered overcovering finished with
q scallop at the edge in each panel
of the parasol. The scallops terminate
in small ornament which. with a
portion Of the edge, hang free from
the undercovering.
A pretty parasol, smaller in size and
not so deeply curved, is covered with
white taffeta. Long diamond-shaped
panels of Persian silk in bright colors,
with red dominant among them, are
shirred so that their edges are narrow
ruf1es. One of these is mounted over
each rib. their upper points disappear
ing under the tip at the top. The low
er point reaches within about Ave
inches of the edge of the white taffeta
covering. This is a gay and rich-look-
ing little affair, suited to almost any
light summer costume.
Plain white parasols with borders Of
black and white "checkerboard"
silks are novel and immensely smart.
They are not expensive, ranking in
price with those made Of broad stripes.
Among the latter a black and white
striped covering has border of bright
Persian silk at the edge, about six

In New Jersey is planned by the state
forestry commission as the only ef-
fective means of protecting the state
woodlands against forest fires such
as destroyed nearly 100000 worth of
property during the first two weeks
of the recent cunning season.
The commission decided to seek the
cooperation of the state fish and game
commission in procuring legislation
revoking the closed season for deer
and rabbit. In the discussion preced

proper place of exit. AS the two dis
appear, Deborah wakes from her
trance, and, finding herself alone
among the seats, hurries to quit her
corner and leave the building.

the moment uncomfortable. The push.

Of which she has now become a part,

Thick as the crowd was in front. it
was even thicker here. and far more
tumultuous. Word had gone about
that the father of Oliver Ostrander
had been given his lesson at last, and
the curiosity of the populace had risen
to fever-heat in their anxiety to see
how the proud Ostrander would bear
himself in his precipitate downfall.
They had crowded there to see and
they would see.
He was evidently not prepared to
see his path quite so heavily marked
out for him by the gaping throng; but
after one look, he assumed some show
of his old commanding presence and
advanced bravely down the steps. aw-
ing some and silencing all, until he
had reached his carriage step and the
protection OF the officers on guard.
Then a hoot rose from some far-off
quarter of the square, and he turned
short about and the people saw his
face. Despair had seized it, and If
any one there desired vengeance, he
had it. The knell of active life had
been rung for this man. He would
never remount the courthouse steps,
or face again a respectful Jury.

ture that is used in making this q
place of pride. To the 20-year regime
of President GuSman Blanco were due
the first layings of modern pavements,
the erection of many modern edifices
for public use, the introduction Of up
to-date utilities; his ideas have been
added to as we'll as maintained, and
the result is that Caracas has made
the most Of her natural advantages
and is the prettiest, best paved, best
managed of cities.
Many Handsome Plazas.
Caracas is laid out in squares inter-
sected by quantity of public gardens
or plazas in the style COMMON to Span
ish-America, and a very excellent sys-
TEN of town planning; in the case Of
the Venezuelan capital each square
is beautifully tended, shrubs and foun-
tains are kept in fine condition, the
paths are paved with bright tiles. and
the roads leading away at each side
are macadamized Or asphalted. like the
streets of Paris. The newcomer Is
always proudly told that Caracas Is
called the Little Paris Of the New
World and her people have certainly
done their best to earn the title for
their capital.
The Plaza de Bolivar marks the CEN
ter of Caracas, the chief government
building being accessible to it. It is
fine square, with an equestrian
statue of the Liberator in the middle,
towering trees all about it, and the
warm midday atmosphere cooled by
fountains.
One one side, or rather at the north
east corner, stands the cathedral, the
remainder of the side taken up by
stores: the post Office and Museo Bo-
liviano, together with the Hotel Klindt
and more stores, take up another side;
the palace of the archbishop and GER
tain of the municipal Office buildings
lie on the south, while the Casa Anna
