Cripple Who Forgot "can't."

Twenty-eight years ago r. Il. Big
Ter, who Is Familiarity known as Bob
to hundreds of his friends and admir-
ers in Kansas City, Mo-, was conduc-
tor on a Western railroad. One day
on duty he suffered an accident that
resulted in the loss of his right arm
just below the elbow and his left foot
just above the ankle.
Instead of bending or breaking un-
der the blow Bigler straightway began
most remarkable uphill fght--one
that was destined to be Of great i'm
portance to cripples all over the world.
Let him tell you the story Of that
fight just as persuaded him to tell

The latest arrivals in coats have not
departed from the liberal lines of early
models, neither as to length nor width.
They give the same impression of lux
urious warmth and substantial COM
fort. Some of them achieve original
touches in detail of construction and
trimming and succeed in presenting
something new in a world of varied
coats.
Two examples that can hardly be ex-
celled for beauty and utility are shown.
They proclaim the cleverness of their
designer inasmuch as they follow the
mode, but by original means. At the
right coat, which might be made in
any of the popular cloths, is cut with
the body and sleeves in one. 1t Is set
to the figure over the shoulders by
small tucks at the back which extend
from a square yoke to the top of the
sleeves. Wide cuffs, a convertible col
lar, and patch pockets, to which we

are accustomed, are as plain as can
be and nothing is allowed to divide
the attention, which is centered on the
general excellence Of this design.
A fine combination Of cloth and fur,
shown at the left, is cut on lines that
are almost straight, with hint of
definition at the waistline. A little
fullness in the body is laid in plaits
that disappear in piping set in at
the front. Silk cord and pony skin
distinguish this model by way of dec
grafton. The pony skin is trimmed
into points along one edge and forms
a deep border at the bottom of the
coat. The same idea appears in the
collar which is almost covered by the
pony skin, and in cuffs made entirely
of it. Both coats are long and
both leave nothing to be desired in the
direction of style or comfort.

velvet and needlework and frightened

and finished with small pendant balls
of silver. The bodice shows a little
chemisette of embroidered net.
A wide fiat girdle is made of satin
yelled with georgette and ornamented
with a band of needlework. 1t extends
below the waistline, wrapping the fig
ure loosely. The sleeves are full from
shoulder to cuff. Here they are
shirred to form the deep narrow cuffs
that are finished at the hand with
band Of needlework.
The hat of gold lace, which har-
monies so well with this gown, is
bound at the edge of the brim with
sealskin and trimmed with a small
pompon of this fur. 1t would be just
as pretty made of silver lace, and the
fur might be moleskin. The choice
will depend upon becomingness to the
individual.

No ship should stay on top of the

the surface displaced as much water
as the ship weighed. If the volume of
water so displaced was lighter than
the ship, the latter would sink. 1t is

kinds of salads without sacrificing the
zest of a salad.
French dressing is the easiest to
make and one of the most popular
ones. 1t may be varied by using diff.
1erent combinations with it, such as
American cheese, Roquefort, minced
hard cooked eggs, chopped olives,
onions, pimentos, chill sauce, green
pepper, parsley, chives, tabasco and
worcestershire sauces. Fruit juices
such as pineapple juice makes one
OF the most delicious of salad dress
ings, used as base.
Pineapple Dressing.-Mix all of the
following in double boiler: two table.
spoonfuls of sugar, one-half tablespoon.
full of flour, two egg yolks, and one
half cupful of pineapple juice. Cook
over water until thick, add the Juice
of half lemon and half cupful
OF whipped cream. If the cream can
not be obtained use condensed milk,
dropping it slowly into the mixture !;
beating all the time.
Whipped Cream Dressing.-Take
one-haif cupsul of whipped cream, add
two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, two Ia
blespoonfuls Of sugar, one teaspoonful
Of mustard, and salt and pepper to
taste. Shred cabbage very fine and
pour the vinegar over this, mix well,
when ready to serve pour off all the
liquid possible and fold in the cream
beaten stiff.
Chill Dressing.--Use three table
spoonfuls Of olive oil to one of vinegar,
add few drops Of onion, juice and
salt and pepper to taste. When ready
to serve add finely chopped green pep
per and enough thick chilli sauce to
color the dressing red. Serve ON cab
bage or any desired vegetable combin-
alton.
Fruit salads are delicious to serve
as a dessert or with heavy dinner,
as they are lighter than the ordinary
salads.

RoRAH WILL BE
CANDIDATE FOR REELECTION

That Senator William E. Borah
.of this state will be candidate
for reelection to his present seat
lis stated by press dispatches
from Spokane, where the senator
arrived Saturday night. from
Washington. He refused to
make any definite statement Of
his candidacy but would not deny
that there was a strong possi-
bility that he would make the
race.
Il am under obligations to a
number Of my friends who have
urged me to be candidate, and
must talk over the matter with
them before 1 reach any definite
conclusion or make any state
ment," said the senator.
MY present plans are to re-
main in the west for a month or
six weeks, unless congress should
fail to adjourn. If, however, new
matters of Legislation are taken
up it will necessitate my return
TO the capital in about three
weeks. / will leave for Boise in
a day or two, and if possible will
visit the northern part of the
stale before leaving for the state
capital.
People in general, l believe,
fail TO appreciate the tremendous
amount of work which has been
done by congress since April 2,
when war was declared. BY
reason Of the fact that delay was
encountered in the enactment Of
one or two measures, some people
have gained the impression that
congress has been dilatory, or at
least not as speedy as it should
have been. But from the time OF
the Grecian democracy until the
present no Legislative body has
ever enacted, in the same short
space Of time, so much and such
important Legislation.
"The declaration Of war, con-
scription and the providing for
the expenditure of over Sf9,OOO,-
100000, the espionage bill, the
tradlng with the enemy act, the
embargo bills, measures neces-
sary for the upbuilding Of the
army and navy, the aeroplane bill
and the food administration
measure all testify to the speed
with which congress worked.
II future historians condemn
congress it will be for enacting
such important measures without
giving due consideration rather
e than for dilatOriness.
''The soldiers insurance bill
which is now before the senate
. is probably the most important
p measure still to be enacted
There is no controversy over this
p measure except as to minor de-
p tails. The principles of the
measure are satisfactory to the
; senate and look for its speedy
< passage"
