Mamma : vest siza.

A curious item In the trade slang Of
hosiers Is the term ''pope's size" ap-
piled to vests. They classify the scale
Of chest measurements for these as:
Small mems. 80 inches; slender mems,
"a inches; mems. 80 inches; pope's. SO
inches; out size. a inches.
The origin Of this term. which has
been current for nearly q century, was
discussed some years ago In Notes
and Queries. when IT was stated On
good authority that # had no eonnec-
ton with the successors Of st. Peter.
Il appears that the head Of an old
firm OF west end hosiers, MessrA.
Pope & Plante. ordered this size to Be
made specially for his own personal
use, and the manufacturer called e
after him for want OF a better name

OF the fossil forests which have %

remarkable Is to be seen In Yellow
stone park. who're the greater part Of
the trees stand upright In their natural
position instead OF being reeumbent
and scattered about the ground. as IN
ether parts OF the world In Arizona
the fossilized trunks have evidently
been carried a long distance from
where they originally grew. In the
Yellowstone the trees now stand
where they grew and where they were
ontombed by the outpouring Of various
volcanic materials.
Now as the softer rocks surrounding
them are gradually worn away they
are left standing erect on the steep
hillsides Just as they stood when they
were living. In fact, It Is difficult at q
little distance to distinguish some Of
these fossil trunks from the nehen COW

VANDUSER FARM
EXPERT MISSING
MORETHAN WEEK
Friends of William Jolly Fear
He Has Met With Foul
Play.
MATTHEW'S EMPLOYEES
ABSENCE is MYSTERY
Business Affairs Are in Good Con.
ditiOn-RObbers Blamed
by Friends.

William jolly, a prominent citizen
of Vanduser, is reported to have dis
appeared from his home on July g.,
since which time his whereabout have
remained mystery to his family and
friends.
Jolly was employed as farm super
intendent for the firm of C. and A. J..
Matthews, large land owners in the
vicinity of Vanduser, and on the day
of his disappearance he stated that he
expected to go to one of the farms
some distance away to inspect some
improvements that had recently been
installed. He left his house few min
utes later and has not since been seen.
His wife felt no uneasiness when he
failed to appear at noon, as he was
often kept away by unexpected bust
ness matters, but when night came and
she heard nothing from him, she felt
certain that something was wrong.
She called his employers by tele-
phone, but neither of them could give
her any information concerning his
movements during the day as neither
had seen him or been in communica-
ton with him.
When he failed to appear during the
night an investigation was begun the
next morning, but so far no satisfac-
tory results have been obtained. No
trace of him has been found and no
one has been able to offer a sugges-
ton that will help to solve the mys-
terry of his disappearance.
No plausible theory can be advanced
for his leaving, as his business affairs
are said to be in good condition and
his family relations were ideal.
While Mr.. jolly is not known to
have had an enemy in the community,
it is feared that he has met with foul
play, perhaps for the purpose Of rob-
berry.
