Favor Law Enforcement.

Public sentiment in Keokuk today
seems to be very strongly in favor
Of law enforcement. No matter how
the influential citizens may feel
on the prohibition question, all. or
nearly all, seem to feel that now that
the law is on the statue books, it
ought to be enforced.
One man, who is known to be In
favor OF the license system. thus ex.
pressed himself this morning:
"While 1 am strongly against prohi-
bition, / feel that the best way to
get rid OF it is to enforce the re-
strictive laws. Then, the people
oppressed by such legislation will
make an end of it and of the political
lives of those who have been active
in securing such measures" Anoth-
er man holding opposite views, felt
that prohibition never could have a
fair trial until the law was strictly
enforced. Then will we have the full
benefits Of the system. Prior to the
day of strict enforcement, we will
still suffer some Of the evils of the
old liquor traffic"

Creates Sensation.
The filing of informations against
the alleged joints and bootleggers,
coming as it did, so soon after Sathr-
day, nights raids, created a sensa,
ton throughout the city, and at noon
the sole topic of conversation was
the police crusade against the viola
ton of the prohibitory law. On the
streets and in the various places
of business, everyone was discuss
ing the latest effort to up
root the liquor traffic from the
limits OF Keokuk. Sentiment seemed
quite generally to be in favor OF the
law enforcement efforts Of the pres
ent city administration.
This means the end of bootlegging
in Keokuk, for a while, at least"
was the sentiment expressed by one
we'll known professional man. while
a leading merchant thought that "the
remedy would be only temporary.
These two opinions, seem to express
the views of most of the people OF
Keokuk who gave vent to their feel.

that only three weeks ago the city
commissioners held a joint session
with the local ministerial association
to discuss ways and means of break
ing up the traffic in liquor, which the
ministers then alleged was going on
within the city limits.
At that time, the ministers declar-
ed themselves as being behind the
commissioners in every effort that
they might see fit to make to break
up bootlegging, and all urged the
people Of the city to line up solidly
behind the officials.

RIucher in the hospitaI.

At the time of the seven years war
there was very little knowledge OF sur
gerry, and the surgeons We're often no
more than BARRIERS, inexperienced and
uneducated. They We're commonly
known as the Company of Pain a
name that fitted them admirably.
Lieutenant Blucher, afterward the fa-
nous field marshal, was wounded in
the foot by musket ball. AT the
hospital to which he was carried sew
eral surgeons began to probe the
wound and cut promiscuously in its
vicinity. Finally Blucher inquired. in
spite of the pain. "What sort of tail
oring are you trying to do? The wound
is large enough already, l should
think p "We're looking for the bullet" ;"
answered one OF the offended surgeons.
"Ohl OH" cried Blucher angrily.
Why didn't you tell me that before?
[ have it in my pocket" And with
that he drew from his pocket the bull
ct, which he had extracted from the
wound himself.

ENVOY


Close by the barracks of the Foreign
Legion there is little garden and be
yond the garden kind of chapel.
Within are many relics Of glorious
past.
On the walls are the pictures Of the
great dead.
It is the Legion's Holy Ground.
Colonel Destinn entered for the last
time. Outside, beyond the garden. he
could hear the tramp Of feet and the
gay call Of a bugle. Here everything
was peace. Deep shadows hid the
watching portraits. but in the midst,
on either hand Of the raised coffin. two
great candles threw their light into
the darkness and on the two men who,
with drawn swords and sightless eyes.
kept guard. They wore dark uniforms
which the little chapel had never seen,
and the coffin was hidden by a
strangers flag.
Colonel Destinn drew softly nearer
to where a woman heavily yelled, knelt
in prayer. Before her were two
wreaths. One bore an imperial crown.
the other simple inscription
ITO Our Comrade-Goetz Won Ber-
lichingen."
AS Destinn approached the yelled
woman looked up. He stood quietly be
side her.
"Your highness, he died bravely. He
was worthy of his race"
II thank you, colonel"
He left her He went out again into
the evening sunshine. An orderly held
his horse i'll readiness and four hun
dred men marked time to the strong
rhythm of the Legion's war song. He
swung himself into the saddle.
"In coiumn-forward-m
They swung out Of the gates-out
into the road. Half Sidi-bel-Abbes ran
ut their heels. On the outskirts the
general with his suite waited to give
them Godspeed.
Return ia honor. my children!"
The band crashed out triumphant
answer. Colonel Destinu's sword sank
in farewell.
''Toujours, ma fol, lie sac au dos"
Singing, they left the glitter Of lights
and the sound Of the towns joyous
hubbub behind them. Colonel Destinn
rode on alone. No man spoke to him.
There was on his face a grave and
peaceful knowledge.
And before him lay the desert and
the night shadows, which were but q
promise of another day.

observant Proprietor OF Store Had a
Faculty Which Saved Him Good

There are all sorts Of labor-saving
devices, patented and unpatented, but
now and again new one bObs up un-
expectedly. Here is sample:
The man who was shy on collars
dropped i'll at haberdasher's to buy a
couple. He made his selection, and
the proprietor walked with them to
the rear of the shop, where the roll
of wrapping paper was kept.
The customer. meantime, extracted
half q dollar from his nearest pocket
and tipped it somewhat noisily on the
glass top of a showcase.
You said two collars, didn't you?"
queried the haberdasher.
Yes; two, replied the customer.
A few seconds later the proprietor
returned, not only with the collars,
but with the exact change, 25-cent
piece
How did you guess that?" asked
the wondering customer. You didn't
see me put down this half"
No. said the shopkeeper; but

ing able to make change by sound

STUNNING SUIT OF FUR-FA6Rlc.

ties look we'll in entire suits. The best
choice for this purpose is the imitation
baby lamb, and this is the variety
employed for the suit pictured. 1t is
banded with an imitation beaver fur.
The coat is a three-quarter length,
Russian model, with a wide belt lined
with satin. The skirt is plain and
traight-hanglng, with its border twice
as wide as the landings about the bot
tom of the coat. This is detail
that adds much to the smartness of
the suit. The wide collar fastens di-
agonally at the front with three black
satin-coyered buttons.
While the designer has managed this
suit of fur-fabric so that 1t is altogeth-
er attractive. combinations of plain
cloths or velvet with these heavy
weaves are less difficult to work out
successfully. In these suits the border
at the bottom Of the cloth skirt some
times extends almost to the knees. Or
the skirt is laid In wide panels with

two coiffures in the picture are fine
eXponents of the new styles.
All sorts of beautiful hair ornaments
naturally follow this new elaboration
in hairdressing, and they add life and
sparkle to it. Spanish combs. thrust
in at the back, below the puffs or coils
on the crown, are among old things
that have been revived. And there are
many other combs and pins, including
high medallions, that support wells or
scarfs of malines worn for full dress
in the evening. They suggest the man
tilla or the oriental veil and fall from
the coiffure to the waistline or below.
These are extremes of the mode but
other coiffures must measure up to
them or look mediocre. A mediocre
hairdress with dazzling evening gown
is not to be tolerated.
Rarely there is a coiffure with the
back hair arranged below the crown,
but it is the exception that proves the
rule. Take for guidance these facts:

Straight "chemise" gowns, made of
imitation baby lamb, are among the
new shOwings, trimmed with hand
some jets. Jet buttons and girdles of
Jet beads added to handsome Orna-
ments of Jet make the richest sort Of
gown in the simplest sort of cut. They
are high-necked. but are unfastened at
the throat when worn indoors, and
turned back to show the top of the

The high coitfure has returned and
elaboration marks the new vogue in
hairdressing. 1t must be so, for sim
pie styles would not correspond with
the rich, really gorgeous gowns that
October has brought IN for aft?lno
and evening wear this winter.

Eskimo Lamps.

1t Is believed that the Eskimo lamp
was invented before its possessors
emigrated from their original home,
which was probably farther south and
near the seacoast. But the form Of
the lamp becomes more specialized the
higher the latitude is. The lamps Of
southern Alaska have wick edge Of
two inches. while those Of Point Bar
row and northern Greenland have wick
edges of II to SO inches. The lamp Is
employed for melting snow and ice to
obtain drinking water, for cooking,
lighting, warming, drying skins, and
in the arts. 1t is also q social factor
and the sign Of the family unit, each
head OF family having his lamp.

sentiment which bind the life of the
Greek of today to that of the classic

descent, according to communication
addressed to the National Geographic
society by George Higgins Moses, for
merly United States ambassador to
Greece. Mr.. Moses in his graphic pic
ture Of the Athens of today and of the
modern citizens Of the city which
reached the pinnacle of its greatness
in the days of Pericles, says:
''It was with only slight shock that

and of Phidias, one looks for Helen,
for Hermes and for Athene; but the
only Helen l ever saw in Athens was
an American girl, married to Il men,

hair, blue eyes and classic features
made her at once the reigning hostess
in the city. And 1t is only in the
islands or deep in the country where
the Albanian food once swept across

one finds the facial lineaments and the
bodily grace which the ancient Sculp-
tor has taught the modern world as
being common to all Greeks of classic

hills are better than play ones. but
one has much the same panoramic

of sitting in a row Of ten cent seats
with a great mass of people In the
