frigidly. II have spaded gardens be-
fore, you know" She was sorry the
minute she had spoken the We but
it was too late to undo them. She
heard an embarrassed cough and the
man ~retreating to his chicken runs.
When she looked over in his direction,
five minutes later, she saw that he was
quite q young man, and it occurred to
her that he was really nice looking.
Why, it was Albert Beddome, the ac-
countant at one of the banks She had
known him by sight for months. That
made her more chagrined than ever.
He was hammering away at q small
coop. His cheeks were red-frOm eX-
ertion or from the cut she had given
his feelings, she wondered which. AL
though she was worn out before she
had worked another hour, Gwendoline
was not ready to give in. She could
work at her gardening just as long as
he could work around his chickens.
She wished she had chosen chickens to
raise instead of vegetables. She knew
much more about them and the work
was not nearly so hard. They were as
necessary, too. She had been unwise
to think that gardening would be so
much fun. She had enjoyed two
months on her uncle's poultry farm
one summer and had learned a lot
about chickens. OF course, che would
not have been able to build the coops
and runs-at least not very well.S 1t
was hard to admit, even to herself.
that there were some things men could
do that women could not. That she
would win out on that garden, though,
she resolved firmly.
1t looked very much as if she was
going to win out, too. The lot was
whole farm by the time Gwendoline
had 1t all spaded and raked. The
planting of the seeds was more inter
estipg. When they started to sprout
through the ground, she was sure her
fortune was made. A week of spIen-
did growing weather worked wcnders
with the plants. and she could hardly
contain her joy when she made her
daily visits. Then anne a special rush

Gwendoline knew just exactly,where
she had laid her spade, but apparently
it had disappeared. After searching
vainly about her own lot, she looked at
the next lot. There stood her spade
against a chicken-run.

gasped, as she made her way to secure
the missing tool. THAT is just Ike a
man to have no tools of his own and to
come borrowing mine," she muttered,
as she started back. When she glanced
over the lot she noticed a big change.
More than half was dug up, and she
was sure she had only spaded about a
quarter of it. The borrower OF her
spade had lone the rest, that was APP

SKETCH OF RoosEvELT's CAREER

Theodore Roosevelt was born just off

He came of Dutch and Scotch-Irish an

Educated under private tutors, he
entered college at eighteen, and there
made a record for the extensiveness of
his reading more than anything else.
He was indefatigable in acquiring new

for Nearly a Year.
RECENTLY LEFT HOSPITAL.
Theodore Roosevelt Typified the High

Oyster Bay, N. Y.-Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt died suddenly at 4 o'clock
a. m. at his home, Sycamore Hill, Oys-
ter Bay, from an attack of rheumatism,
with which he was stricken several
months ago. He passed away in his
sleep and was found dead in bed by
Mrs. Roosevelt, who had quietly enter
ed the bedroom to see how he was
resting.
Although 1t was not believed that
the colonel's illness would prove fatal,
he suffered a severe attack of infiam-
matory rheumatism on New Years
day, which caused him intense pain
and which gave his family no little
concern. He suffered greatly and re-
tired an hour before midnight in the
hope of getting a much needed sleep
TO alleviate the pain.
Mrs. Roosevelt, after hastily sum-
moning a physician, telephoned word
of the former Presidents death to his
cousin, Colonel w. Emlen Roosevelt,
and to his secretary, Miss Josephine
Stricken, in New York. kilograms

Not long after word of Colonel
Roosevelt's death was received tele-

at Sycamore Hill, and later in the day
messages came from all parts of the
country to which the news vas flashed.
The former President returned to
Oyster Bay on Christmas day to cele-
brate the Yuletide with those members
Of his family who were in this u
try. He had spent several weeks in
Roosevelt Hospital, where he had un-
dergone treatment for the rheumatic,
attack which resulted in his death. On;
the day of his discharge he cheerily
told the reporters who~greeted him at
the hospital gate that he was feeling
'bully'' and was delighted at the pros
pect of getting back home to spend
Christmas, but his n regret was that
his entire family could not be present.

IF you were to take a trip to q
little place near Elko. New, you
would find there a spring which
the Indians claimed was possessed OF
wonderful healing powers. This spring
was claimed by both the Piutes and
Washoes and many a hard battle was
fought for Its possession between these
tribes. First one and then the other
would succeed in getting II from the
enemy and all Of the old people In the
tribe would come and take a bath In
the spring after drinking freely
from II.
Finally, in 1895. a treaty was signed
ana both tribes agreed that after that
there should be no fighting In the
vicinity of this wonderful medicinal
spring. We do not know who it was
that first thought Of adding a little
pepper and salt to the waters, but to-
day the tourists taste OF II as II is
served to them and declare that It is
the best cold chicken soup they ever
tried. Many a trick has been played

know the popularity OF this spring.

De RANGE IN DESIGN MARKS THE LATEST Array OF SUITS
Coats Show Tendency Toward the Daring and Pictur
escue With Louis XIV. Models as Most Radical
Departure in Seasons Offering

and is worthy Of note for the reason
that very long coats are said to be
approaching. In this instance the coat
OF brown velour delaine is cut so that
1t Is quite smooth at the back and in
the cross over front, but has much
fulness Of the coat skirt at the sides.
These full sides are held In place
at tie waist by means Of embroidery
and the coat Is collared, cuffed and
hemmed with fur.
The coat Of long or medium length
is much more In evidence than is the
short one, and perhaps the coat either
partially or wholly ungirdled is more
to be desired than the girdled coat
Besides the coat on Louis XIV. lines
there are other ways contrived Of en-
larging the outline of the hips.
There are panniers and sections of
cartridge plaits and bold building out
by means Of wide fur band about the
bottom Of the Jacket, or OF immense
pockets topped with fur.
In striking contrast to the suits on
these lines are coats cut as straight
and slim as a willow wand, which,
when they are trimmed at all. usually
open over a fur waistcoat.
A typical Russian blouse suit Is
shown which Is straight of line and
apparently has no means of ingress.
This suit Is fashioned of beaver COL
ored wool velour and has bands of
military looking embroidery ending in
tassels at one side stretched across its
smooth front. 1t is loosely girdled
with double band Of cloth and has a
high collar Of the beaver fur which
finishes the sleeves and the edge of
the coat and slips on over the head,
but these have never attained great
popularity In this country.
There are, however, q number of
models which close on the shoulder
and the side. leaving the front un-
broken by fastenings. and one very
charming suit. the upper part Of which
crosses over in bodice fashion. wrinkles
about the waist and ties in fat girdle
ends at the side.
The back Of this coat is fiat and
plain, but in the front are two circular
sections which are gathered in many
folds. In one curious little suit the
short Jacket godets slightly at the
back. has a cutaway front and q
choker collar all banded with fur. The
