Plenty in Stock.

Some of the visiting ministers have
told some good stories about one an
other during the Laymen's Missionary
Movement convention here. This Is one:
A young couple came into his rooms
just as he was going to begin service
In the church and asked him to marry
them. He said II they would walt until
after the service he would give them
a public wedding.
AFTER the lenedict!on he announced
Now, will those persons wishing 20
be married please come forward" 1t
is recorded In the story that eleven
women and one man answered to the
call.-fSan Francisco Call.

M county, Kentucky. killed his
w wife and then vanished. For
two years no clue to his
hiding place could he found. Then Tay-
lor Piunkett, the new sheriff Of Chat
ham county. learned in a roundabout
way that the murderer was running a
cocoanut grove In the tiny South Amer
lean island of Ratona. And to Ratona
went Plunkett, armed with eXtradition
papers.
Plunkett had never seen Williams. but
he had heard him described SO nc APP
piled to the United States consul at RAJ
tona for Information about his man.
From the consul he learned there were
only two Americans on the Island
Bob Reeves and Henry Morgan: that
they both were cocoanut growers ana
that Williams description fitted both
of them pretty well.
The consul took Plunkett out to see
the two, In the forlorn hope That he
might find out which OF them was
Wade Williams.
Reeves and Morgan were chums and
shared the same house. Plunkett and
the consul found them at dinner. The
two suspects" did not look alike. Yet
the sheriff could see that his description
Of williams was n tolerable good word
painting of either OF them.
The COcOanut BTOWtis
Piunkett cordially and invited him to
stay to dinner. Neither OF them showed
the slightest nervousness at his visit,
He knew that one of them was Wade
williams But which? Plunkett MT on
a bold Idea. Looking straight between
them, yet keenly noting the race OF
each, he said. very quietly:
Wade williams, you are under ar
rest for murder
The two men looked from Plunkett to
each other and then back again with an
air OF mild surprise.
"In explain" said Plunkett. One OF
you don't need any explanation. This Is
for the other one. i know III get stuck
for damages II l make a mistake. But
I'm going to get the right man.
He told In a few words the story oil
the murder. Both of the men broke
into a laugh at the odd dilemma that
confronted the sheriff.
"Williams!" shouted Plunkett sud
denly.
Both looked at him, but neither looked
Mustered. The trick had failed. PUNK

Velours Goats Will Be the
Favorites for Everyday
Wear, Though They May
Be Trimmed Most Elab-
orately With Fur and VEL
vet.
Broadcloth Is Unexcelled for
Dressy Goats, Since the
Suppleness of the Material
Lends Itself Gracefully to
Draped Effects.

IT HE long, loose separate
coat is to be immensely
4 popular again this year
so comes the welcome news
from the lords who decree what
is to be in our winter ward
robes. Surely there are few
garments that can equal it's all
around utility.
For everyday wear the careful
buyer will choose wrap Of
wool velours, which has the nub
weave of chinchilla and the
supple quality Of broadcloth.
These cloaks may be made on
simple lines. with trimmings Of
buttons or straps, or very
elaborate, with quantities of fur
at collar. cuffs, and hem.
The broadcloth coat seems ex-
pressly intended for afternoon
and evening use. So much Of
the effectiveness of broadcloth
depends upon keeping it free
from wrinkles and dust that it is
hardly practical for rough usage
that velours can endure grace
fully.
Velvet and fur will be the
accepted trimmings for cloaks
Of this type. One in hunters
green copies the long straight
lines Of the Cossack coat. The
upper portion is slightly bloused,
with the fullness caught into
broad belt Of velvet exactly
matching the cloth. The skirt
Of the coat is extremely wide,
for broadcloth takes we'll to soft
folds, and hangs well to the
skirt hem. Adeep point at each
side gives variety to the almost
unbroken lines.
The edge Of the coat is Dor
dered by a deep band of the vel
vet, just about the same width
as the generous velvet cuffs.
The sleeves are Of conservative
cut, with two tiny tucks giving
q delicate horizontal touch be-
low the shoulder line.
The collar Of velvet suggests
the chin-chin models of last
year, swathing the neck warm
ly. The fastenings at neck and
waist are huge buttons of velvet.

the fact that certain forms Of II are

[RepubIican A. p. Leased wireI


 SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 31.-Fedcrat | aid for indiGent victims of tuberculosis, l as planned in a bill prepared for sub mission to congress. will receive the support of the United States treasury department according to a telegram from w. c. McAdoo secretary of the treasury, to William Kent. congress- 1 man from California, made public to- day.
 The bill. which it was said would be introduced by MT. Kent, has as it's ob- ject the standardization of the treat ment of tuberculosis throughout the country and a provision for extending federal aid where necessary. The bill authorizes the secretary of l the treasury to provide care and treat | ment for "indigent tuberculosis pa tients who are citizens of the United States but not legal residents of the states in which they are temporarily | located"
 According to the proposed bill certain institutions in each state will be desig mated to receive such patients. These institutions will be subject to inspec- ton by officers of the public health service ito determine the facilities and methods available and in use for the care and treatment of patients"
 The bill provides for the payment to qualified institutions of a subvention fixed annually by the secretary of the treasury but not exceeding one dollar day for each indigent patient admit ted with the approval of the secretary of the treasury"
 The bill is said to have the approval of Dr. Rupert Blue, surgeon general of the United States and of numerous other authorities on the treatment of tuberculosis.
 Secretary McAdoo's telegram to Congressman Kent was as follows:
 "On broad humanitarian grounds and as a means of cooperating with state and local authorities in preventing the spread Of tuberculosis. the department is in sympathy with proposed measure to provide federal assistance in caring for indigent tuberculosis persons in interstate traffic.
