go across the river and help their coun-
trymen. Some of the little Spanish
newspapers treat the bandit operations
as serious warfare. They speak of the
successes of their troops and celebrate
their bravery. The derailins of pas
senger train was referred to as "a vic
tory. When the bandits fed to the
river and hid in the brush one paper
stated that the patriots retired to q
strong position near the Pho Grande
where the Americans did rot follow
them. 1t is proba bic that they were not
anxious to be followed. Fifteen hun
dred cavalrymen were out looking or

This element of race feeling has un-
doubtedly made international co-opera-

planned that the raiders were receiving
both moral and physical support on the

cooperate with the United States in

ed that his former commander i'm Mat;l-

outlaws, and that one of their leaders
was not afraid to show himself in the
streets OF the Mexican town. The pres

cans better satisfaction. He has sent

LAST OF JOHN BROWNS AIDS
Follower Of Famous Abolitionist Lives
In Kansas and ls Hale and
Robust at Eighty-Four.

Salina, Kan.-Luke F. Parsons, who
has resided on farm near Salina for
fifty years, has the distinction of be-
ing the last of the survivors OF all the
men directly associated with John
Brown and his famous border warfare,
just preceding the war between the
states.
Parsons left his home in Massa-
chusetts in 1856 to aid the Free Soil
ers in the Kansas-Missouri border
warfare, following Brown through the
series of skirmishes which eliminated
in the famous battle Of Osawatomie.
He was then selected as one Of the
ten picked men who were to accom-
pany Brown on his raid through Vir-
ginia; but, owing to the delay Of
nearly a year in completing the plans
for his adventure, he left the expedi-
ton at Cleveland, O., thus missing the
Harper's Ferry disaster by a few
weeks.
Parsons health at eighty-four years
of age, is robust, and he is still able
to do as much work as the average
man. It was not until recent years
that he permitted himself to talk Of
the John Brown affair and his con-
pection with 1t. Now all Of his COM
patriots are dead, and he is the last
link connecting this tragic page in
American history with the present.

One Of the fads of the hour, which
is particularly strong with debu-
tantes and other youthful devotees of
fashion, is the Cleopatra headband.
This is very simple hair ornament
to be called after the wonderful queen
whose name is associated in our
minds with all things splendid and i'm
perial. 1t is made Of sparkling
rhinestones and binds the brow after
the manner of Egyptian and other
headdresses. And 1t is entirely sue
cessful.
Two patterns of this new hair orna-
ment are shown in the picture. They
are among the prettiest of many de-
signs. all made in about the same
way. There is some variation in the
size of the rhinestones; the smaller
ones, used in the more elaborate fig
ures usually, represent more work in
making the band, and are therefore
more expensive. All the bands of
brilliants are mounted on narrow vel
vet ribbon and fasten with a snap
fastener or hook and thread eye, at
the back.
The Cleopatra band looks we'll with
nearly all the new coiffures, which is
one good reason for its popularity. 1t
is shown here worn with the Bobby
couture. This particular style seems
to have impressed itself on women

MANY STARVING TO

American Consul at Chung King

Washington.-Many are starving tc

to- escape the terrors of hunger, and
thousands are on the verge Of star
walton in the province of Saechuan
China, because of famine, according
to mail advices to the State Depart
ment, received from E. Carleton Ba
ker, American consul at Chung-King
The famine is due to a protracted
drouth, particularly in the region OF
Fuchow and Chungchow.
Many OF the poorer people are al
ready dying and others are on the
verge Of starvation" says the memo
randum to the State Department
The price Of rice has more than
doubled. Some of the people are SO
desperate that they are eating roots

clay, and others are committing sui.

the school itself. Then came the
question of the commissariat. At first
she gave up her own ration to her
ten refugees-but that was not
enough among SO many. So she col
lected from her friends and relatives
in the village here piece OF bread
and there a vegetable.
When the Germans, seeing her sus-
piciously laden basket, asked her for
whom were all these provisions, she
would answer, For your wounded in
the chapel" Better still, she ap-
pointed herself cook for the German
ambulance, and in this capacity was
able to pick up all sorts Of broken
victuals, SO that her English were in
no danger Of starving.
But English soldiers do not live by
food alone-they like their tobacco.
Now, according to the regulations OF
the invaders, each inhabitant OF the
place had the right to buy two sous
worth Of tobacco a day. She found
a way to evade this regulation and
to keep her ten in smokables. She or
ganized an army Of boys, who ten or
twenty times a day would purchase at
different shops the meager penny
worth.
But there was always the danger
that the hiding place of the ten might
be discovered by some German. For
tunately, their dormitory communi-
Gated by trap-doors with the ground
floor of the building, and precisely
with a room on that ground floor
which gave on the garden. So she
procured long rope, with which she
advised her prisoners to practice a
sort of fire-drill. She was enthusiast
tic over the results.
Just imagine" she said to her in
terviewer. that my Englishmen after
few attempts were able, the whole
ten Of them, to strap up their haver-
sacks, get ready for all eventualities,
and slide down the rope noiselessly
in less than five minutes"
But these desperate measures were
not necessary. The Germans tempo
rarily evacuated the place, and the ten
English soldiers were able to regain
the allied lines in safety. They have
all given her their names and ad-
dresses. and sworn that she must
come to England when the war is
over, where they promise her q royal
welcome. One of the grateful ten is
a nobleman, and a relative of King
George-Lord Smith is the name
given. but never mind! The girl left
the town only when the Germans
were about to re-enter it, and after the
town had been subjected to a fierce
bombardment for r ny days.

Okmulgee, Okla.-Judge Mark l..
Bozarth has appointed e. w. Kimbley
as guardian of the person and estate
Of Katie Fixico, an incompetent. She
is. an Indian who owns a valuable tract
Of oil lands In the north end of the
Cushing field. Title to property worth
in the neighborhood of a million dol
lars will be affected by the ruling Of
the court.
The Midco Oil company, operating
on the land. holds a lease dated three
years ago. given through the county
court. On the day the girl became Of
age she gave the lease to Harry C.
Denton on the theory that the first
lease expired with her minority. The
land was sold on the following day by
her to Walter Morton. brother of her
former guardian, for $4,000.
The girl appeared in court recently.
and during her testimony it was shown
that she did not know q word of Eng.
lish. that she had left school at the
age Of eighteen while in the third
grade. and that she knew nothing of
the value Of money.

For the woman of average means, a
separate coat, to be worn with frocks
OF varied character, is a necessity of
the wardrobe. Such a coat needs to
be carefully selected, since it is to do
duty as a street coat, for travelling, for
driving in the auto, and for such occa-
sions as may demand a sport coat.
But great numbers of separate coats
were designed this spring that are
suitable for all-round service, and have
much style to recommend them as
well.
Among them, coats of covert cloth
In tan and kindred shades and those
In black and white checks seem really
to f1t In everywhere. They are full
Of style and snap; Just the sort of
garment that the American woman
needs and delights in.
A fine example of the general utility
coat is pictured here. It is a black.
and-white check, with collar and cuffs
in leather color. These accessories
are often shown in emerald green and
in black with white pipings, so that
there Is a choice in color. The coat,
as pictured, is worn over a frock Of
black taffeta. A combination of black
and white appears in the Breton sailor
hat and is repeated in the low walk.

sured of the smart appearance of such
toilette for the promenade.
But an equally pleasing picture pre-

be Panama or small outing shape,
the shoes have tops Of tan-colored
cloth, and the dress be plain suspen-

plete perfect outfit for the journey.
These coats are all cut on flaring
lines, but they vary somewhat In
length. Pockets and buttons are fea.
tured in their finishing. There is a
great variety of styles in collars, and
in the covert models buttons, collars
and GUNS are usually all Of the cloth.

These wounded the girl tended with

the second, because she had every rea-
