as smoothly and plainly across the front
as the narrowest of skirts did some
seasons back. From belt to hem in
back, the skirt was stiffened with hair
cloth, causing the fulness to fall in
several outstanding folds. At the in

she induced, one expected to see a pair
of extremely high French heels on sill

AS the small person continued on her

swung in true, hoopskirt fashion,

fascinating.

The Annual Sale Of White.

At this season of the year, of course,
one expects to- find the shops veritable
bowers Of white; to find the most fas-
cinating of cottons, suggested for sum-
mer frOcks, and to be charmed by the
airy blouses, parasols, and other articles
designed, as it seems, for wear in Fairy
land itself. The white sale this yea,
is considerably mixed with pink and
the other soft tones which have been
gradually coming into favor for under
wear the last few seasons. There are
the daintiest possible combinations,
chemises, camisoles, and the numerous
other undertakings which go so far
toward the success of frock or suit.
Silk null, and other soft cottons vie
for favor with the more expensive
Italian silk. All of these silks and
cottons wash excellently and require no

IN ARTICULO MORTIS

Of all the articles prepared express
ing conditions in the European war, few
fail to emphasize the horrors of it, AMI
the great loss to the conflicting nations
of their financial resources. No doubt,
the loss of life, in warning Europe, by
bullet wounds, exceeds the power of
our imagination, but if each indi-
vidual S life; if each moving piece of
the hand of another were estimated in
dollars and cents, a string of nop-pariel
figures reaching around the world
would be no comparisons. True, each
man values his own life above all the
money in the world, and in these war
ring countries men are forced into bat
tie in hostile times Just the same as
they are in any nation on the face of
the globe in the event of war, and
while It's either be shot outright by
their own brothers, or face the enemy
and take a chance Of escaping, the lat
ter is usually the decision. Thus, when
war is declared by the political heads
of any nation, whether it be for fl
nancial gain or glory and honor, the
subjects of that nation have little to
say whether they will go to war or not
During the Civil war many poor and
innocent boys, who left their dear old
mothers in tears and with bowed heads
praying for their safe return, were or
dered shot down by their own com
retreat without permission from those
who are always found following up the
rear. There is no absolutely sane man,
who would make any pretense at fol-
lowing the great teachings Of Christ
but what believes that it is more honor
able to not go to war than to go. On

latter day, the unbearable miseries in
flicted upon the people, like the politi-
cal barons of the Spanish government
tortured the innocent populace of the
Cubaian Islands, the nation that is at
peace begins to grow sympathetic, and
when the temperature of the blood
thirst fever of revenge reaches Ger
tain point, war is declared. A single
call brings out hundred thousand
volunteers to combat, to crawl with
broken wings, and struggle, and wade
thru rivers of meaness and misery, each
side trying to exterminate the other.
Now the people grow another kind of
sympathy; the kind that Sherman grew
when he said what war was. People
from all sides raise their hands and
voices in loud protest against the out

and mothers and fathers pray for the
war to cease. But the war goes on until
the crowned heads of the nation so feel
that it ought to stop.

The Vogue of White.

White will be quite as modish for
skirt, suit and frock this season as it
has been for the past summer or two.
Serge, garbardine and broadcloth are
smart for those who can afford more
than one white frock or suit, but for
the practical woman cotton corduroy in
it's various cords will be far more prac-,
teal; it may be easily and effectively
tubbled when soiled. These corduroys
come in the pale pinks, blues, yellows,
and similar tones for separate skirts,
suits, and sport coats or blouses.
Among the season s novelties is the
house coat; it closely resembles the
sport coat or blouse, and could in fact
be used for the same purposes, but
it has been designed for house wear, to
take the place, as it We're, of the kimono.
with the woman who does not care for,
or who has not the time to indulge in,
the luxury of so complete negligee as
kimono, or similar oose-fitting house
robe. These are being developed in the
colored cotton corduroys, and in like
corded cottons They are finished with
wide collars, deep, roomy pockets, and
are loosely belted. Combined with
skirts of white linen, duck, khaki, or
cotton corduroy, they are excellently
suited to morning wear and the house,

DRASTIC RULING OF DRASTIC LAW

ST. Anthony, Idaho, Jan. 13.-That no
person may have in his possession or
transport liquor in a prohibition dis
trict within the state of Idaho, de-
spite the fact that he procured it lie
galiy in another state, and possessed
it and transported it across the dry
territory for the purpose of personal
use or lawful disposition in another
state, is the gist of far-reaching de-
cision rendered in the district court
of This county yesterday by Judge
James 6. Gwinn, in passing upon evil
dence and in his instructions to the
jury. In ruling upon the question,
Judge Gwinn stated that under the
drastic provisions of the law passed
by the last legislature, the defendant in
State vs.. w. ID. Scott, then being tried,
could not iHterpose the defense of law
full possession and transportation for
the purpose Of lawfully using or dis
posing of, the liquor in another state
if he passed through dry territory of
Idaho. Scott, according to the testi-
mony, purchased eight cases of wills
ky in Monida, and has headed for
Wilson, Wyoming, in an automobile,
when apprehended at Spencer, Idaho.
in Fremont county He testified that
he was instructed by letter from a
druggist at Wilson, Wyoming, which
he produced, to get the whisky and
take it to that point, but the court
in admitting the testimony, stated that
he would later rule upon the presenta-
ton of authority, and before the close
of the case ordered the evidence strick-
en- and instructed the jury to disre.
gard it. The jury brought in a YER
diet Of guilty as charged in the infor-
nation.
Pursued to logical conclusion, it
would seem that no distinction could
be made between an individual car
fying liquor for his own use, or for
another, or q private or common car
rier, across dry territory in Idaho, for
the law specifically states that no "per-
son, firm, company or corporation, it's
Officers or agents." shall have in its
or his possession, or to transport
any intoxicating liquor within pro-
hibition district, except alcohol for
certain purposes, to be secured under
permit. Under this construction of
the law the Oregon Short Line or a
passenger on its trains in transporting
liquor across the state for disposition
in a wet state is equally guilty and
is subject to arrest and punishment.

street, and general daytime wear, the
dark blue serge jumper frock combined
with an underblouse Of crepe de China,
Georgette crepe, or black satin, is most
satisfactory. The fact that the under
blouse may be changed, and the frock
so varied, makes its appeal to women
who like change now and then, but
who cannot afford great number of

Satin or taffeta blouses or jumpers,
with sleeves of transparent or con-
trasting material are still being worn
for afternoons and more dressy occa-
sions, combined with skirts of taffeta,

OF the car Inside, Helen wal reading

Of the car. Inside, Helen was reading
quietly when Lug's hand, holding a
handkerchief saturated with chloro-
form. was thrust through the window
ana despite her struggles Helen soon
YVES overpowered.
With a quick word to Bill, above,
Lug scrambled into the car. He placed
Helen, now unconscious, in a sitting
position and ran to the hind end to
look for the machine. 1t had over
hauled the train and was speeding be-
side it along the highway. Lug waved
to the driver to come on. Returning
to the car, he mOtioned to Bill to help
him carry Helen out. The two men
picked her up and took her to the plat
form. How to transfer her to the mo-
torcar was a problem hat might have
given pause to more clever men. Lug
intended at first to throw the helpless
girl from the platform into the ma
chine, but this he discovered would
never do-the distance was too great.
Bill, an old sailor, came to the res
u with another arrangement. In a
jiffy he had dashed Helen into a kind
OF cradle in the middle OF the long
rope. and, throwing one end to the
driver, shouted to him to make it fast.
The latter, when he caught the line,
hitched it to the side of his car. and
with the motor and the train still at
high speed, Lug. on the rope, went
hand over hand down to the m%otorcar.
Loosening the hitch, he then drew in
the rope, while Bill, on the platform,
carefully paid out and Helen was
transferred, uninjured, from the train
to the machine.
Once within the motorcar, Helen
was unceremoniously dropped to the
bottom and left there, while the ma
chine was turned around aud her cap
tors whisked back for Las Vegas with
her.
Storm, by this time, had left the CON
struction camp and was waiting at
Baird for the train bearing Helen. The
train drew in and stopped. To Storms
surprise and disappointment, not a SOL
itary passenger got of. He accosted
the conductor: Helen Holmes was
coming up today. Where is she?"

train going to Las Vegas was standing
on the passenger track. Storm ran to
the caboose and explained his anxiety
to the train crew, who were prompt to
make ready to aid him. They pulled
out with Storm In the cab to scar the
right OF way.
In Seagrue's machine Lug and Bill
opened Helen's satchel. They found
a big package Of letters, and believed
they had in them the contracts
Helen. in the rush Of cold air, had
begun to revive. As a precaution to
prevent her giving any alarm-though
machines were sufficiently scarce on
the desert-Lug took Helen's handker-
chief from her satchel, tied it roughly
over her mouth, laid her on the seat,
cautioned her harshly and covered
her with a steamer rug.
Travelling at a breakneck pace over
the broad expanse of sand, the car
was entering Las Vegas, when, cross

a smart jump, the pedestrian would
have been killed. He turned with a
suppressed curse and looked angrily
after the car that had SO nearly struck
him. The occupants he did not recog-
niZe; they shot by too fast. But a
handkerchief had CHANGED to fall from
the a at his feet. Spike never neg
lected investigating anything that fell
in his way. He picked the handker-
chief up and walked on, still at inter-
walls looking back.
Seagrue was in his rooms, waiting
impatiently for the return Of the car.
When it did at last skid wildly around
the corner travelling at a reckless pace,
Seagrue ran downstairs and hurried
the men to get Helen quickly inside.
Spike at this juncture was crossing a
vacant lot. He looked again at the
handkerchief in his hand. and his eyes
turned once more in the direction Of
the machine. He saw that the party
had stopped before a building appear
ing to Spikes eyes somewhat familiar.
The next moment the men lifted what
seemed q heavy burden from the ma
chine. Helen had been gagged again
and was helpless. But despite her be-
ing wrapped in the rug, Spike got,
from what he saw, the whole story
they had Helen. A sudden rage stirred
him, and. throwing caution to the
winds, he dashed across the open lot
toward the alloy.
