Ribbons, that for SO long ab--
have been used for the feminine fin
ishing touches upon the garments
wherewithal the gentlewoman chooses
to more than clothe herself, have ex-
tended their field of usefulness. 1t
Is not so many years ago that they
became a part of all her lingerie,
strung through headings and tied in
flower-like bows. Now the smaller
garments are themselves made of rib
bons, and lace or other ribbons are
employed for their decoration.
Many of the wide, soft weaves in
satin or taffeta stand washing very
we'll, but the luxurious small belong
ings made of ribbon in which splen-
dor-loving women indulge themselves,
are not made for utility. They are
merely to be beautiful and appear for
a brief career, but glorious one,
when special occasions require special
finery.
A corset cover made of wide satin
messaline ribbon is shown in the pic

is set on one edge of the ribbon and
sewed down along the edge of the

kind, and the French war Office has
now in operation an invention for COM
batting Zeppelins.
The new weapon consists of long
needle carrying small shell. These
needles are very light, and so is the
shell they carry. When the needle
pierces cloth or any light substance
and not till then-it explodes the shell
If fired against brick wall it is harm
less.
The needles are so small that a
quantity can be carried on an aero
plane. They can also be fired from a
very light gun, and when once they
strike Zeppelin and explode they
will also explode the gas contained in
the envelope, and so destroy the whole
machine.

Cost of a Submarine.

Although actual figures, for obvious
reasons, are not available, one would
be Understanding rather than over
estimating the cost of the German
submarine U-29, which the British ad-
miralty reports to have been sunk, at
100000 This total is based on the
fact that, according to a certain Off
cial publication, the Ed of our sub.
marine fleet, which was completed in
1913, cost 9107,791; and the e class
is neither the largest nor the most ex-
pensive type of submarine in the fleet
today.
According to the admiralty state
ment, the cost of the hull, fittings
and equipment" of the E-4 was G26,-
7S7, G79,105 being spent on her pro-
pelling and other machinery. In ad.
cition to this outlay there was an
item of 91,899 for incidental

JACOBS LITTLE JOKE
ELABORATE LUNCH NOT APPRE-
GATED BY "TRAMP."
No Doubt He Enjoyed 1t, but Snowy
Table Linen and Other "Fixinss"
Were Something That He Could
Have Done Without.

Just as Sarah was putting the fin
ishing touches to the dinner, Jacob
came in from his store down town,
and, shifting the pleasant odor of food,
remarked: Sarah, could thee fix me
up some lunch for poor tramp?"
"Why, of course, Jacob, 1 could fix
it up for thee; but why not bring the
tramp in here, so that no one may see
him eat?"
well, the poor fellow has travelled
many miles today, and l left him down
at the store; but if thee will fix me
some lunch, I'll carry it down to him
on my return"
"All right, thee go ahead and eat thy
lunch, and when thee is ready to go
back, I'll have his lunch ready for
thee'
So saying, Jacob passed into the
dining room, and when Sarah had him
safely employed eating her delicious
and substantial meal, she left him to
his own devices and repaired to the
kitchen, where she first lined a large
basket with one of her snowy damask
napkins, then, thinking that tramps
would enjoy having a meal look invit-
ing as well as anyone else, she got out
her best covered dish, in which she
placed a liberal piece Of steak, then
bread and butter, and small dishes,
each with its separate cover, in which
she placed mashed potatoes, green
peas, stewed tomatoes, bottle of cof-
fee and custard and cake for dessert.
She then covered the basket with an
other snowy napkin, and when Jacob
had finished his lunch, gave him the
basket to carry back to the store.
Upon Jacobs return home that eve.
ming, with the basket and empty
dishes, Sarah asked: Did thy tramp
enjoy his dinner?"
did he enjoy it?" asked Jacob.
"Well, guess he did. He ate every
thing but the tomatoes and coffee, and
l finished them for him."
Strange that he did not drink the
coffee" murmured Sarah.
"Why, not at all strange, Sarah. 1
never yet saw dog that drank or en-
joyed coffee" Jacob answered, striv-
ing not to smile.
What does thee mean, a dog? ia
cob, am ashamed of thee for speak
ing of a poor fellow in such a man
ner," Sarah chided him.
"But, my dear Sarah, tell thee it
was a dog" dryly remarked Jacob,
then, unable to contain himself any
longer, he shouted with laughter.
Needless to say, Sarah has never
forgiven Jacob for allowing her to go
to all the fuss she did, over a tramp
dog, and whenever the name of dog
is mentioned she looks at Jacob in
commanding way, warning him not to
attempt to tell of her tramp.

" poisoned arrows of the Yaqui
Indians, against whom the
Mexicans have waged relentless wal
for more than a century, says the Bos-
ton Transcript.
Yaqui bows are made of black palm
wood which is extraordinarily hard;
the arrows are long and sharp and so
poisoned as to cause certain death
in from three to seven days, but only
after the most horrible torture, dur
ing which the patient raves, eats and
gnaws his own flesh, beats his head
against the wall or ground and so dies.
No antidote for the poison has ever
been discovered. According to an old
Spanish record, early settlers in Mexi-
CO tried by promises and threats to
persuade the Indians to give them a
recipe for it, but could not prevail
until they had wounded a Yaqui they
had taken, and then gave him liberty
to go abroad to seek his remedy. They
observed that he gathered two herbs,
which he stamped and pounded Sc
verally, drank the juice of one, and
injected the other into his wound; but
first he opened the wound and drew
out the barbs of the arrow, which,
infinitesimally fine and thin, are left
In the flesh after the shaft Is taken
out; for unless the wound be first
cleared thereof, the herb can have
no effect. In this manner the Indian
cured himself, but the novice has had
only varying results, as none but the
Indian knows the art of clearing the
wound. They cumber the EARTH

orable occasion of our own truculent
Senecas. They cumber the earth"
said his eXcellency, President Diaz,
when speaking of the Yaquis. So the
unwritten edict went forth that the
Yaquis should be exterminated, after
they proved refractory to all softening
Influences of civilization.
Don't Like Americans.
Being unable to either civilize or ex-
terminate them after nearly century
of endeavor, Mexico graciously sold
to Americans almost exclusively min
ing and other concessions within the
disputed territory, a fact which prob
ably accounts for the Yaquis' sudden
change of heart" towards Americans.
Indeed, until within the past fifteen
years, a visit to the Yaquis was consid-
cred an interesting and by no means
hazardous excursion by the younger
men of our navy while cruising or sur
veying in the Gulf of California. The
Yaquis would always receive their WIS.,
ltors with perfect Indian hospitality,
regale them with the best they had
and show them excellent shooting.
The only descriptions we have of
the coast villages of the coast tribes,
situated as they are amid swamps and
lagoons which render them well-nigh
inaccessible, are due to the accounts
which the jolly sailor boys have left
of their outings on shore. Curiously
enough also, the armistices which
have been concluded and the attempts
which have been made from time to

time to make peace between the Mex
ican government and the Yaquis have
nearly always been initiated and car
ried on by American adventures and
prospectors across the border, the
Yaquis refusing consistently to admit
Mexicans within their villages, even
when they came suing for peace and
bringing presents.
The strongholds of the Yaqui valley
and the Businesses of the Sierra which
they are defending with such stubborn
valor as to command the admiration
of the Mexican officers who have had
to fight them are full of copper mines
and deposits of other precious ores,
attractive to the commercial spirit of
the age, and the present era of i1l-feel-
ing against the American settlers
there is undoubtedly due to what the
Yaquis regard as unwarranted tres
passing upon their domain, since they
cannot read and do not recognize the
Mexican rulers right to sell mining
and other concessions within the terri
tory which that government has never
conquered. Another reason for the
All Stubborn Fighters.
AS far back as the days of Monte
yuma the Yaquis were famous for their
running prowess, and corps of them
is said to have been retained to bring
from the "Vermilion Seas as the Pa
cifc was called by the Aztecs, fresh
fish from the shores of the hot coun-
try to the capital on the temperate
tablelands, and if the old Spanish
chronicles can be relied upon, it would
seem that, thanks to the relays of
fleet-footed Yaquis, Montezuma was
able to get fresher fish than did the
residents of Mexico City in the days
of their greatest prosperity, civiliza-
tion and railroads. in the regime of
General Diaz.
The Yaqui warrior is a noble figure.
His free and open gait is like that of
an Olympian victor carrying off the
prize, rather than the lope of our own
redskin.

swift runner, the Yaqui is a sturdy

SHOCK Of COLLISION

LAFAYETTE, La, Sept 2.-While
irving to town in buggy, Misses
Izaure and Hilda Guidry, daughters o.
DR.. H. D. Guidry, were struck by
Southern Pacific train No Z at the
Ramagos crossing near the Lafayette
suagr refinery. The buggy was smash
ed to pieces. The horse was not touch

lance, falling upon the right of way,
where she was picked up. Miss Hilda
on the seat of the buggy, was caught
by the cowcatcher and was found rest
ing upon the front of the engine when
the train stopped.
They were both rushed to the La

found to be suffering from badly
fractured elbow and fractured skull
with possible internal injuries. With
the exception of a bruised foot, Miss
Hilda was apparently not hurt
Neither is able to talk because OF

The girls were approaching the
crossing at an acute angle, the ap-

rear. Conflicting stories are told BIZ
eye-witnesses. Some claim that they
heard the train whistle for the cross

was no signal blown.
