Lyman II. Howe and his ever-new
Travel Festival will come to the
Academy tonight and Saturday night
and Saturday matinee. Regular
theatergoers alike know so we'll that
Howe's Travel Festival Is the one at
traction above all that 1t just won't do
to miss. For real enjoyment, no
theatrical attraction is comparable
with it and it is for precisely this rea-
son that no other attraction Is antici-
pated with so much pleasure by such
legion OF patrons. One of the most
alluring features Of the new produc-
ton comprises a tour to the Hawaiian
Islands with their extraordinary at
fractions and tropical wonders which
so completely captivated Kipling,
Mark Twain. Stevenson. Jack London
and many other famous people. A
most interesting phase OF the journey
Is a visit into the, active crater Of
Kilaues whore spectators will see a
river Of living fire and molten lava
at much closer range than the average
human being would care to approach.
Another takes them to Waikiki Beach
enclosed by a great coral reef barrier
where the natives indulge most skill
fully in that sport OF sports'-surf-
riding, a form of amusement origi-
mated by the Hawaiians. No white
man has yet been able to equal their
dexterity in riding on the crest OF
rolling waves.

 For the young woman the coat pic tured is model that it would be hard to improve upon. It is reinforced at the front with a deep square yoke which improves its lines, giving them straight direction at the middle front with a generous flare at the sides and back. It buttons to one side and hag a collar high enough to be chic aDd becoming and so constructed that it can be turned back away from the neck when so desired.
 Big patch pockets are furnished with plait at the middle fastened with button. The buttons at the front are set on in groups, and two buttons finish the oddly cut cuffs.

A suit for the street and general utility is made in a manner that ap- peals to young women and justifies their judgment. It is new in cut and very smart looking and 1t looks well in any of the fabrics-including the novel weaves-that have been used for this seasons suits.
 The skirt is not new model, but is cut fuller than usual with deep, in verted plaits that extend to the waist line. These are its only distinguishing features. The coat is a novelty, sim ply and cleverly cut, with raglan sleeves and very full body. At the front a wide overlap terminates at he bust line. The coat fastens here with a half dozen large white bone but tons. Similar rows provide the deco ratfve feature at the front and back and on the slevees. There is turn over collar of the material and cuffs similar to 1t with plating let in al the back of each.

When milk, cheese and eggs are in- cIuded in the diet the absence of meat is not felt Usually the greatest di- gestive troubles come from too much of the carbohydrates; that is. the starches and sugars which cause fer mentation and intestinal indigestion. Indigestion in many cases IS simply lack of eating proper amount of food and properly masticating it. Glad stones thirty mastications to the mouthful would mean health to many people if they would follow the prac- tice faithfully.
 Our nitrogenous vegetables, such as peas, beans and lentils; nuts, such as the peanuts, are tissue-building foods and make a good substitute for meat.
 The following menus for dinners will be found very satisfactory: Pea soup with croutons, creamed celery on toast, mashed potatoes, radishes, rice dumplings with cream, crackers, | cheese and coffee. Salsify soup, macaroni, white sauce and cheese, stuffed potatoes, celery salad, stuffed dates.
 | Clear tomato soup, cheese cro- quettes, baked potatoes, celery, baked apples with cream.
 Tomato soup, whole wheat bread sticks, baked beans, cold slaw, cream puffs, coffee.
 Cream of spinach soup, croutons radishes, mushrooms on toast, cabbage with rice and cream sauce, baked DO tatoes, tomatoes with mayonnaise, ap pie pie and cheese.
 For luncheon-cream of tomato soup, bread sticks. cheese soufie, eel cry, apple dumplings with cream.
 Bean soup, mashed brown potatoes spinach with eggs, brown bread ane fruit.
 Corn soup, rice croquettes witt cheese sauce, beet-top greens, cheese waters and coffee or cocoa.

used just now for street wear. In collars and revers and collars and cuffs there are occasional suits in which white broadcloth courageously faces the chance of losing its creamy whiteness and being thrown into the discard. But washable stuffs are pret- tier, more delicate, and more popular. and the tailored suit, either in wool or silk, is immensely enhanced by their freshness.
 Other tailored suits, cut on lines with which we are now familiar, can claim the distinction of originality in certain details of their finishing. One of these has what are known as saddlebaa pockets of formidable size set onto the skirt. In their silk-braided deco ration, fancy silk lining and finishing the inspiration of Spanish ideas is evi | dent. The coat is cut with a square opening at the front, has scalloped ani braided revers and a little low-cu
 yestee. The neck Is finished with { soft ruf1e of lace and a soft chemi sette of lace appears above the vestee

For the woman devoted to out-of- doors a sports coat model, like that shown in the picture, is good choice for early season wear as street coat. At the end of the season 1t will owe her nothing, for she will have had 1t always with her. Coats of this char acter are shown in great variety and they differ little from regulation sports coats. They are more quiet in color and somewhat more trim as rule.
 Not all the models designed for street wear are in quiet colors. The citron shades are much in evidence where smartly dressed women con gregate. The checked coat is fa- vorite for both street and sports wear and is really classed according to the size of its checks-if they are big 1t

in whole punches, and he was suspect ed at once. He had gathered around him a bunch of old cowboys whose regulations were as unsavory as his own. They were Bobby Shorthandle, Babe Ellis, Poker Jim" Roberts. and Garfield Mccoy.
 Two deputy sheriffs, after skulk1ng about among the hills and brush near the McCracken ranch, by the use Of strong spy glasses, saw McCracken take bunch of horses from pasture and drive them to a corral that was hid in a washout. The officers fol lowed and just as McCracken was about to run the brand on horse which he had just roped from the bunch and thrown, they rode up and covered him with their guns. The outlaw hesitated little when ordered to put his hands up, as if he was measuring chances, but as both guns were leveled at him, he obeyed. The officers then disarmed ] him, and as he seemed to be perfectly | willing to go with them, they did not | handcuff him or restrain him in any way.
 AS it was almost night the officers decided to go to the McCracken ranch and remain until morning. On their arrival Mrs. McCracken, who kept perfectly cool and seemed not at all worried over her husbands ar rest, cooked a bountiful supper and all sat down in apparent friendship to eat.
 The officers skulking about in the hills so long on short rations had left them half famished, they ate prodig iously, after which they moved their chairs back from the table and lit their pipes That was the last they remembered until morning, when they awoke, rubbed their eyes and looked about stupidly. Their prisoner was gone. They looked at Mrs. McCracker inquiringly and that lady laughingly
 told them that she had placed some
 sleep medicine in their coffee so thai her husband might make his escape
 without having to resort to shooting
 The officers had to acknowledge them
 selves beaten and went away empty
 handed.
 Soon after this word was received
 that McCracken was still around il
 the Thompson creek country. ant
 staying with his family most of thu
 time. Then Sheriffs John Thorn, O : Crook county, Wyoming, and H!
 Hance, of Butte county, South Dakota rode out to investigate.
 They kept watch on the place fo
 several days by means of spy glasse
 when they saw, one morning, Me Cracken come out, walk around, ant then re-enter the house. They thel rode up to the place and the littl boy came out to speak with them.
 Say, sonny" said Thorn. "Go tel , VOLT dad to come out here and giv , himself up. We know he is in ther and have come to take him, dead O l alive"
 Thorn then rode to the top of hill just in front of the house, whil , Hance rode to the rear and took u his position between the house an l barn.
 The officers had hardly reache
 their positions after sending the littl boy in with their message when tn , door opened directly in front of Thor
 Mrs. McCracken stood in the dool , way, while behind her was her hui , band, with a Winchester rifle ial across her shoulder.

Beat it, the outlaw yelled to Thorn. Thorn hesitated, whereat the outlaw fired, the bullet knocking the dust beneath the feet of Thorn's horse But still the sheriff hesitatedi
 McCracken fired again and the buE let went through Thorn's coat, be meath his arm, and he hesitated ns longer, but fled.
 Hance, realizing, as had Thorn, that he could not shoot McCracken without the risk of hitting Mrs. McCracken, turned and was spurring his horse for | the breaks as fast as he could go l when McCracken ran around the house and emptied his rife at him. After the shooting the outlaw went to the barn, got his saddle horse and started away. Thorn and Hance g0 together and followed him for several miles, but the outlaw was we'll mount 1 ed and they could not or did not wish to get near enough to have a shoot ing match with him.
 Next day a posse was formed, and with a blood hound, Dude" famoua in that region, took up the outlaws trail again.
 The hound followed the trail fol
 forty miles through that most desc
 late spot of land in all the Northwest
 the Badlands of southeastern Mon | tana, finally bringing the outlaw to
 bay in lonely patch of pines. The
 sheriff then called upon him to sur
 render. The answer was shot, fol
 lowed by another and another, the
 bullets whizzing so close that the
 whole posse were held at bay until
 darkness, when McCracken made good
 his escape.
 Mrs. McCracken and her little son
 still continue to reside at the Thomp,
 son Creek ranch and there are storiea
 that the husband and father is a ire
 quent visitor there, going and coming about as he pleases.
 It is also stated that there is tun. nel leading from the house to tho
 creek, and that swift horse, fully
 equipped, is kept tied in the creek
 bed out of sight and when any sus picious person is seen approaching the outlaw reaches his horse through
 the tunnel, mounts, and Is soon fai away into the Badlands.

DUNSTON PILLAR.
h oeos Did Duty as an Inland Light.
 ASuss In Enqland.

Of all the remarkable lighthouses in existence, and there are many of them, what is described as "the only land lighthouse" is the most extraordinary. This is the lofty tower, 100 feet high, on the lonely levels of Lincoln heath, five miles from Lincoln, In the parish of Dunston. It is known as "Dunston Pillar"
 When the strange building first came into being in 1751 Lincoln heath was easily the most danger ous waste place in England. About twenty miles square, it had then no made roads, no signposts and no inclosing hedges.
 Travellers found it a risky place to venture in, especially in the short days of winter.
 The registers of Leasingham church, on the outskirts of the vast solitude, contain accounts of the burials of many unfortunate tray elers who lost their way here and perished in snowstorms and tenn pests.
 So notorious were those dangers that at Potter Hanworth and at Blankney, in this region, there are pieces of land bequeathed as thank offerings by strayed wayfarers whose lives had been saved by hear ing the church bells' chimes, so that their steps were guided to shelter. The revenues from these lands were intended to secure the continuance of those nightly ringings so that none others should run such risks.
 It was Francis Dashwood, Lord le Dispenser, who built Dunston Pillar. It served as a signpost by day and as beacon by night, being at that time surmounted by lan- tern, which was brilliantly illumi- mated.
 But after some fifty-nine years a good road was at last made across these wilds, and the lantern was no longer considered necessary. So in place of the lantern a colossal stone statue of George III. was fixed there instead in 1910, the year of his jubilee. And there it stands to- day.-London Answers.

. That old story about Wrangell being the original one horse town is one that never looSes its potency. It is always new in Seattle. Last week. a reporter for the Post-IntelIigencer saddled it off on Donald Sinclair as fol- lows: ~.#. s.>
 ''The distinction of registering from the original "one horse" i, town in the United States is claimed by Donald Sinclair, a merchant from Wrangell, Alaska, who was among the recent ar- rivals at the Frye Hotel.
 "Wrangell is one of the oldest towns in Alaska, is a small place .4nd has but one industry aside from fishing, and that is a saw
 mill. The sawmill company owns q horse, the only one in the city. The animal is pointed out to the tourists and ranks in the same class with the totems poles in front of Indians residences"
