An interesting story is told on
Judge PETER, senator-elect Some
time ago at his home on Fillmore
street a party was given while he
was absent. 1t happened that the
Judge returned to the city and
making his way home discovered
that his house was brightly illum-
mated and that a party was in
progress. Being in want of sleep
the judge determined not to
make his presence k n W n and
made his way into his house
by sid e door an d went
directly to his bedroom. What
was his dismay to discover
that his bed had been made the
receptacle for part of the ward
robe of the feminine guests. De-
termined not be robbed of his rest
the Judge decided what to do. He
hastily disrobed and crawled into
bed under the cloaks, bonnets,
shawls and what not.
The sensation created when
the ladies came to get their
'thins s. and saw a mans face
adorned with a long black beard
and the eyes peacefully. closed in
slumber protruding from beneath
the array of millinery can be bet
ter imagined than described.
The ladies stayed out in the
hall while their wraps were
brought to them by members of
the family.

MONKEYS WORRYING
THE zoo PEOPLE

ATLANTA, Ca, July 5.-The mon
Keys are propagating so rapidly in the
Grant Park zoo in Atlanta that the
park authorities are seriously per-
picked for solution of the problem.
In a few more weeks the monkey
house will have ben filled to the limit
of its capacity, unless there is a very
marked decline in the monkey birth
rate.
The park authorities, in the mean
time, are cudgeling their brains to de-
wise some means of taking care of
the rapidly increasing family, fol-
they have no appropriation to spend
for charging the monkey house, and
the city treasury has no funds to
spare.
The Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals will not stand for
such thing as cutting down the
monkey supply by means of chloro-
form, or even any other painless
method of producing death, and hence
the park authorities have a problem
On their hands that makes the prov
erbial White Elephant seem small
by comparison.
One of the park commissioners con-
ceived what he thought was a happy
idea and suggested that they give
the monkeys to the organ grinders.
Several of the older members of the
monkey family were disposed of by
this method, but the organ grinders
returned them. They were not train
ed and fought too much.

WOMEN FIGURE FOR.
PROHIBITION NOW

| CHICAGO, July 5.-Before deciding
whom they will support as the presi-
Dental nominee in the National Con-
! vention of the Prohibition Party
which opens in st. Paul, Mimi, July
~, women prohibitionists will ascer-
tain the views on various issues of the
respective candidates who have been
mentioned. Mrs. Florence Shown
Hyde, Executive Secretary of the
Women's Prohibition Federation said
today. Mrs. Hyde has sent letter of
Interrogation to prospective candidates
including Eugene N Foss and William
Shaw of Massachusetts; ]. Frank Han
ley and Summer w. Haynes, of Indi-
ana; William Sulzer and Clinton N.
Howard of New York; William P. F.
Ferguson of Pennsylvania, and Finley
C. Hendrickson, of Maryland.
The letter states that the women
voters are Interested in other issues
as we'll as prohibition and asks for a
statement of views on the submission
OF the Susan B. Anthony federal suf-
frage amendment, legislation to abol-
ish child labor, the Federal Children's
Bureau, peace, preparedness and world
disarmament and legislation to pro-
vide living wage and otherwise pro-
tect the laboring classes, both men and
women.
The concluding interrogation asks
for a statement of what the candi-
date has already done as public Of
fetal or citizen to have his veiws as
stated enacted into law.
"As there will be no less than one
hundred regularly accredited women
delegates in the Prohibition Conven-
ton, the women believe they hold the
balance of power in the nomination of
the national ticket" said Mrs. Hyde.
The women "drys" have also sent
to the National Wo-
mans Party, Women's Trade Union
League of America, Woman's Peace
Party and General Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs, asking these organiza-
tons to submit planks favoring the
reforms which they advocate. The
planks thus recommended will be
placed in the hands of the Resolutions
Committee of the Women's Federation
which will draw the planks that the
women prohibitionists will submit
for consideration by the regular plat
form committee and which if turned
down by the platform committee will
be presented from the floor of the
by women delegates.

THE WAR BROUGHT ON
THIS LIGHT STUFF

ATLANTA, Ca, July 5.-Had you
ever stopped to wonder why all this
variety Of new-fangled feather
weight suitings for men have come in
to vogue SO suddenly, and why the
prices are so cheap?
Doubtless you have noticed that men
are wearing not only more Palm
Beaches than ever before, but are
wearing great many other fabrics
that are equally as light as Palm
Beach but not so light in color and
therefore not so expensive in the mat
ter of dry cleaners bills.
1t is the same old answer-the war.
American importations of woolens
have become so scarce, according to
Atlanta wholesale .drygoods men, that
manufacturers simply had to find
a substitute for the materials they had
been accustomed to getting from
across the water, and with character
istic American ingenuity they soon
produced line of lightweight fabrics
composed of a mixture of cotton and
wool that are not only very service
able and slightly, but are just the
thing for summer wear.
And the increased consumption of
cotton in American mills made neces-
sary by this increased production Of
mems fabrics with cotton in the
weave, has been one of the main
contributing factors in the rising
price of Dixie's fleecy staple.
