THAT TILT.
A Discourse on the Simple
Art of Posing Your Hat.

When 1T comes to placing a hat cor.
rectly, or, better still, smartly and at
tractively on the head, the wisest mill
liner and the best mirror have their
limitations as first aid.
The milliners say what the doctors
say to their patients who have nervous
toubles-that the salvation lies In
ones self, not in any outside aid. Prac-
ice does not make perfect, nor even
sk1llful In every case. There are wo-
men who pick up the art when they
are mere infants as though they had
brought the knowledge with them from
another sphere. There are others,
equally intelligent, who do not learn it
until they die. and possibly not after
that.
The woman who boasts that she
drops into her clothes at the ring Of a
bell and is of to her duties always
bears strong evidence of her rapid per-
Torrance. She may be proud of her
facility, but she has no reason for
pride in the result.
Well, at least there Is this to be said
In regard to the fashionable pose: 1t is
the simplest thing that the milliners
have demanded I'm several seasons.
That rakish tilt or the succession Of
Tits that has governed millinery dur
Ing the last few years was difficult
beyond measure to achieve. The genus
which we call f1apper for want of
real name could do this tilt to perfec-
ton, no matter how often it changed.
as she could do the latest and most
complicated dance step.
When France sent us word that hats
would be pliable and without regular
form the news was not received with
especial delight, for it was thought that
the effect would be negligible, too diff
cult of graceful adjustment over the
irregular features of the average
American face.
We did not look far enough forward
or backward In taking this view, for
the hats which France was copying
were from the era of picturesque fash
ions for men. Women's hats were not
Of any importance then; in truth, there
were head coverings that reached from
the primitive band that the early fash
ionables invented to keep the hair out
Of the eyes, and later the towering
headdress that was built up Of every
thing the wardrobe contained, to Judge
from the pictures of them that remain.

Pleasure has a way Of coming indi-
rectly-where least you look for her
and when least you expect her. 3 She
turks In the happiness Of work well
done. She fingers in the consciousness
Of honest bookkeeping with life, and
she always is to be found In the Joy
Of growth and progress. In all these
ways honest pleasure Is to be found.
This isn't meant to be a dull preach
ment against anything but work. But
Il does mean 30 say that happiness
Hes IN doing and the consciousness Of
web doing.

A well known writer on household
subjects tells an anecdote illustrating
what she called perfect hospitality.
She had gone to call on two old friends.
an old lady and her middle aged daugh-
ter, who were in reduced circum-
stances, and quite unconsciously the
caller had overstayed the luncheon
hour. The old lady asked her in the
most charming way to partake Of their
lunch, saying quite simply, "Do stay
and share our crackers and cheese,
and the caller found that the lunch in
reality consisted of very little more.
They had tea to drink and a Welsh
rabbit on toast, but it was served on
exquisite napery, and the toast was
cut in the daintiest slices, and the china
was delicacy itself. And the simple
meal was served without apology and
a dignified but generous hospitality
which made it far more acceptable
than many a more elegant repast
We all have had similar experiences
with callers arriving at lunch time, but
not all of US have arisen to the occa-
sion so beautifully.
Nowadays, however, there is no ex-
cuse except poverty for unprepared-
ness in the food line. With the help of

to greet her friends with fair show
Of cordial hospitality, untinged by

State Refuses to Punish Murderer.

bow the State of Nevada, one of the
cluster of stars that unite to make
our galaxy of states, and for its cause
OF inaction towards furnishing, the
brutal murders of Kansas boy, says:
THE Grand Jury of Mineral county
/ refused today to indicit the Iaaa
&C used of the murder OF Frank
Weber, an irrigation engineer at
Schurz, Nevada, formerly of=Manhat-
tan, Kan, because of the expense Of
the trial. After the jury had COM
pieted the investigation of the murder
the jurors conferred with the county
commissioners, who informed theus
that the county could not afford the
expense of the trail. The result was
that the jury voted against the eindict--
ment. None doubted that the evid-
ence showed that Weber was n1ur-
dered.' y
Because Mineral county cannot
stand the expense of the trial, murder
has been licensed in the State of
Nevada. If you desire to Kill any
person, lure him to Nevada and siay
without fear of pr secution; that state
is too poor to stand the expense of

state is Nevadaf How did it happen
TO become a state anyway What
right has Nevada TO be state when
it cannot prosecute its murderers2
Nevada will ultimately find that it
is too rich to permit the murderers of
Frank Weber to go unpunished. By
SO doing, that state has bred into
every degenerate aud outlaw a con-
tempt for the laws of the common
wealth in which they live. 1t has bred
in the minds OF the fellows who
thought they might want to locate in
Nevada that it were better to remain
IN civilized state that is ready to
spend the last dollar in its treasury
that Justice may ultimately come to
all offenders.
Frank Weber was born and raised
at Monument, in this county, and was
acquainted with almost every resident
or the county. The action of the
grand jury viii cause general regret
among his friends here. However, the
federal government may take the mat
ter up and see that the guilty parties
are puaisted. Congressman Connolly
and Congressman Helvering are both
locking after the matter at the Wash
ing end, and Logan county people are
expecting them to force a full and
