NWINC perhaps to the general
 trend of the picturesque effects
 cretonne is constantly being put 10 new uses. As matter of course some are more desirable than others. but there are suggestions to be found snd hints to be gleaned that are satis- factory and often useful and among the latest novelties must be mentioned little boys overalls and simple guiinpe lrocks for little girls made of .he ma terial in small lowered designs with quaint little hats to match. The girls dresses are worn over guimpes Of white dinity and there never was a daintier. prettier material for such use.
 All kinds of fashionable stitchery are fashionable. Smocki ng is being largely used, fancy stitches appear upon chil- dren's dresses and also upon the blouses of the grown-ups and there i, indeed unusual opportunity offered to the needle-woman. Shocking has taken firm hold. It is wonderfully beauiifrl and suscertible of much variation. yet it is always simple. Really fascinating frocks for the little girls are made with the fulness held smocked in place of being gathered There is iooss coat-lise garment that is much liked which is known as a smock and which also is treated in just that way. while they arc among the very newest and daintiest blous-s are 10 be found :hose of organdi, and other sheer materials smockel with color Advance information also asserts tha; colored embroideries of all sorts are 10 be fashionable for the autumn. both colorei upon white and color upon color and the hint is worth considering now when summer leisure is about to begin. Shocking is prettier than any applied trimming ever could be for many garments It represents very little labor, it is by no means close work and incidentally it represents no expense

An Old Alarm Clock.

At Schramberg. in the Black forest,
there is a respectable alarm clock that
warned sleepers it was time to get up
when Charles l. was king Of England.
This was made in 1880, and it is deem
ed a remarkable piece Of workman
ship. In form it resembles a lantern
wherein is a lighted candle, the wick
of which is automatically clipped ev-
cry minute by pair Of scissors. The
candle is slowly pushed upward by a
spring, which also controls the mech
anism of the clock, and at the required
hour of waking an alarm is sounded,
and at the same time the movable
sides Of the lantern fall, and the room
is flooded with light.

RETURNED BABY'S BANK.
Thief Robbed the House, but Brought
That Back

Sierra Vista, Gala thief with
conscience recently entered the home
of Clarl; Rubido here and after de-
camping with valuablcs amounting to
800 returned to the burglarizcd house
and deposited a chid's bank containing
So in pennies, which had been part Of
the loot, oil the front porch.
The Nubido family visited friends in
Los Angeles that day, and about noon
a neighhor, Mrs Caroline Martin, saw
suit case walk up to the front door of
the Rubido home, tumble with the lock
q moment and walk i'll.
Mrs. Martin thought the stranger
was probably a friend of the RubidoS,
and when the young man reappeared
some time after still carrying the suit
case, she told him that the RubidG
family was passing the day in the city.
The young man thanked her and hur-
ried Oh.
Half an hour later Mrs Martin saw
the young man come back and deposit
something on the front porch Of the
house.
When the Rubidos returned they
found that the pleasant faced young
man had carried away all their silver,
several articles Of jewelry and $50.
The baby's penny bank, which had
been returned, was about the only
movable valuable not taken.

WITH DONKEY AND DOG
WALKS $500 MILES
Price Wins a Wager by a Long
Tramp.

Victoria. B. C.-Edward P. Price does
not wear medals in recognition of
worlds record tramp, neither is he the
author of any 'TravelS by Foot tales
not yet-but he has made something
of a record for stamina and is now
hopelessly a victim to relentless de-
sire to walk every highway which may
be casually named in his presence. He
has walked from Chicago to San Fran
cisco in q roundabout way, Il distance
of 3,400 miles. He does not claim that
there is anything remarkable about
that fact alone. but the circumstances
of the trip make a good story.
The first consideration is the fact
that Mr.. Price at the beginning of his
tramp was a tenderfoOt.
The Price party, for he did not trav-
ell alone. was essentially Il tenderfOOt
group. Perhaps the most experienced
member was Bunny, a donkey whose
eight years had at least taught him
caution. Another member was Il collie
dog named Prince. which is now much
more than mere dog to Mr.. Price. and
another thing which does not appear
in the log of the journey. but upon
which he admits the successful con-
clusion Of the undertaking largely de-
pended. was the taunts of Prices
friends in Chicago.
Price left Chicago in midsummer.

Lincoln highway. The tramp was the
result of q wager and was to be made
entirely on foot with the consideration
that the conditions would not be full
filed unless the journey was finished
with both Of his four footed compan-
ions. He insists without q blush that
every inch of the journey was on foot.
The certified statements of the may
ors of the various cities along the
route form the credentials.
Starting without money, the commits
sariat was provided entirely by gun
and fishing tackle and the proceeds
from singing at the show houses along
the way. The camp equipment, in
Guiding provisions, amounted to 100
pounds, and this was Bunny's burden.

Sam gave a melancholy sigh.


"You don't understand, but he does"
he said He knows Mr. Tenderfoot,
there's a rule out here among white
men in the Nation that you can't shoot
a man when he's with Il woman. L
never knew il to be broke yet. You
can't do it. You've got to get him in
gang of men or by himself. That's
why. He knows it too. We all know.
SO that's Mr.. Ben Tatum. One of the
pretty men, I'll cut him out of the
herd before they leave the hotel.'
After supper the flying pair disap-
peared quickly. Although Sam haunt

fugitiyes eluded him, and in the morn

cropped hair, and the blackboard with
the prancing nags were gone.
1t is a monotOnous story. that of the
ride. so it shall be curtailed. Once
again We overlook them on road. We
were about fifty yards behind. They
turned in the blackboard and looked at
US. then drove on without whipping up
their horses. Their safety no longer
lay in speed. Ben Tatum knew. He
knew that the only rock of safety left
to him was the code.
So you may perceive that woman, on
occasions, may postpone instead Of pre-
cipitating conflict between man and
mar But not willingly or consciously.
She is oblivious of codes.
Five miles farther we came upon the
future great western city of Chandler.
The horses of pursuers and pursued
were starved and weary. There was
one hotel that offered danger to man
and entertainment to beast: SO the
four Of us met again in the dining
room at the ringing of a bell SO reso

not as large as the one at Guthrie.

the brown dress with lace collar and

with his close cropped head held
low.

either to me or to himself. that won't
let you shoot nan in the company of

And quicker than nay mind could fol-

matte from under his left arm and
pumped six bullets into the body that

dress with the lace collar and cuffs
and the accordion plated skirt.
The young person in the dark sack
suit from whose head and from whose
life a Woman's glory had been clipped,
laid her head on her arms stretched
upon the table, while people came RIM
ming to raise Ben Tatum from the
floor in his feminine masquerade that
had given Sam the opportunity to set
aside, technically, the obligations Of
the code.

Artillery Then and Now.

hardly read that verse without a smile
in these days Of big guns. The mind
involuntarily pictures the little lad
walking off with a sixteen inch gun
tucked beneath either arm. But it is
worth recalling that artillery origi-
nally meant only arrows and missiles
of that kind. Some have derived the
word from "arcus," bow; others from
"artelaria," the art Of missile throw
ing. The first development toward the
big modern meaning, however, may be
traced in the Scriptures when we read
Of ''engines invented by cunning men

been modified for some months to be
ready for the conflict. 1t is over q
year since the Portuguese government
| decided to cooperate with the allies
whenever the step seemed necessary.
| While Portugal has been preparing for
war for some time, internal political
conditions have delayed matters. A
peace party has made it's strength felt
in that republic, but with Germanys
declaration of war party lines will be
Obliterated.
Portugal has an alliance with Great
Britain dating from 1903 that requires
the Portuguese government to furnish
Great Britain with 10000 soldiers when
the latter is at war While these troops
have not been put at the disposal Of
Great Britain in the European theater
| of war, the Portuguese have been CO.
operating with the troops Of the allies
in Africa.
While the peace strength of the POr,
tuguese army is only 10000, with 8,1O5
more men in the colonial army, the
SONCluuICllC Has ZOOOOO IcSclN Co anu
! ST., 476 available men for war pur-
poses. The navy of the republic, how
ever, is one of the smallest in the
world 1t consists of one second class
cruiser, four third class cruisers, fif-
teen gunboats, five destroyers. four tor
pedo boats and one submarine.
Most of these vessels are Of an anti
| quated type The Vasco da CANA, the
star ship of the navy. has been in serv
ice since 1878. 1t cost 100000 and is
Of 5000 tons displacement. 1t is equip
ped with two eight-inch guns, one six
inch, one twelve-pounder and eight
three-pOunders. The VaScO da Cana
has a complement of 259 officers and
men.
Portugal, with the Azores and Ma
deira island. has a population of 1851
$50 and an area of 30 400 square miles.
The population of the republics colo
NAL possessions in Africa is $1,000
and these colonies have an area of 1913.
334 square miles The colonies in Asia
have an area of 1888 square miles and
population of 100000. Portuguese
AFRICA is made up or Angola. the AOn-
60 Guinea. East Africa and some is
lands.
Many Portuguese have been bitter
toward Germany for many years. They
have felt that the kaiser'S government
has had designs on the Azores and An
COLA. The war party in the republic
has long been enthusiastic to enter the
contest on the side of the allies not
only on account of the treaty with
Great Britain, but on account Of the
long standing grievance against Ger
many.
The wealth Of Portugal is estimated
at $2,5OO,OOO,OOO. The national debt
amounts to $947, $685. 900. The revenue
Of the country is sS1 100000 year,
with an additional yearly revenue Of
