Those who have been clamoring for more state
park territory will doubtless approve of the action OF
Governor Blaine in directing that OF land sixteen
miles long and nine wide in the vicinity OF Trout lake,
Villas county, be converted into such purposes 1t means
that four full townships of Villas county territory will be
turned the public for recreaonal purposes Pre-
sumaby it includes the state game park and forestry
Personally have always believed that the State
of Wisconsin could do greater service to it's future
dents than by allowing the land to be occupied by farm
settlers rather than in holding as it has been held
However it is better idea to give the public free
for recreatona purposes than keeping it for
reforestration purposes for which it originally
chased There certainly better in the state for
hunting fishing and vacation spots for those wishing
outings of that kind If state parks vital ne
cessy the making of in the Trout lake district will
at least obvate the expenditure of hundreds of thous
ands Of dollars for the purchase of elsewhere and not
any better.
It's effects upon the welfare of the resort interests
of Villas county will have to be demonstrated before
proving to that is good thing for them in the
of providing custom for those places although the in
crease in the number of camping tourists may prove
benefit to the general business

Priceless Garment Was Made for
the Emir OF Bokhara.

New York.-For the first time In
history an emir's coat has found its
way from Bokhara to America. A gar
ment of royal purple velvet made by
craftsmen specially chosen for the
delicate task, and spirited away dur
ing battle and bloodshed, afoot and on
camel back, has travelled thousands of
miles to New York city.
From kings workshop, where
stoop-shouldered men stitched out with
threads of gold Its elaborate design,
south through the wilds of northeast
ern Afghanistan, across sandy wastes
into the wilds of northern India, this
regal robe has seen trail of wander
ing. The details of its odyssey may
be meager, but none the less the story
of the emir's coat, which now reposes
in a glass case in New York city, has
all the lure of romance in Y.
1t was during the days Of upheaval
in Russia and along the, shores of the
Caspian sea, when the old order was
passing and new order was arrang
ing or trying to arrange a new world,
that the purple golden coat began Its
Journey. The rabble swept down
across the Caucasus, into the capital Of
Persia, and on into Russian Turkes-
tan. Here, in the old city of Bokhara,
known throughout the world for Its
rare rugs Of unique design and beauti-
full colors, the soldiers Of the Boil

Aid in Museum

IL is thought most likely that this stood
Immediately within the entrance of
Memphis.
1t might be judged from this that
Harmhab was bit of an egotist and
such was the case, for he claimed as
his father the god Horus, saying that
at birth he was equipped with the
strength and complexion Of god.
When he was still an untaught child
the form of a god was apparent in him
to all beholders.
This superb sculpture, in many re-
spects the finest in the department
comes to the museum through the gen.
erosity of Mr.. and Mrs. L. Everit Macy,
who, during the past year, gave the
museum the sum OF $4,000. The size
of this sum the donors fixed by giving
$1,000 for each year of married life.

HISTORIC COAT BROUGHT
TO GOTHAM BY AMERICAN

sheviki came upon the sacred work.
shop of the maker of the emirs coat.
The story Of just what happened
has lost something in the retelling,
perhaps, for it has travelled many miles
by word Of mouth, as tales travel in
the East. Details here and there are
missing, but 1t is known that In the
confusion following the advent Of the
rabble army many citizens were killed,
while others fled. When the tumult
had passed, the tale run. the maker
Of the emir's coat lay dead and the
sacred garment was gone.
Months afterward, in the city Of
Lahore, India, an American found the
coat of the emir of Bokhara spread
on the floor of bazaar, as Is the
manner in which the traders of tllS
East show their wares. 1t had come
In with camel train from the North,
the merchant said. He had bought II
from a trader. who had traded for 1t
still further North. That trader in
turn had bought II from a man from
Bokhara, with whom he had passed a
night ut one of those caravansaries
where camel drivers and muleteers
sleep side by side with their faithful
beasts. The man from Bokhara had
told the story of the emir's coat, and
in the morning the bargain was struck
over cup of thick, sweet coffee and q
pipe with hoselike stem. The coat
changed hands. and began its long
journey and with 1t another kingly
garment of as royal design II of less
regal color.

Army Chief Of Ancient King
Placed on Exhibition in the
metropolitan at New York.

New ork.-Tutankhamen's great
army chief, Harmhab, sculptured in
immortal gray granite, has just been
placed in the Egyptian department Of
the Metropolitan museum, where it is
regarded by Director Edward Robinson
and his associates as one of the most
noteworthy accessions of recent years
Furthermore, 1t comes to the museum
enriched by the romance of the party
now working in the valley of the
Kings" for on the very day that mod
ern eyes pierced the gloom in which
Tutankhamen lay, this statue of the
man who played an important part in
the great kings life came out of its
hiding to take place once more in the
public view.
Director Robinson. commenting on
the esthetic and archaeological value Of
the statue before representatives OF
the press, laid special stress on the
Buddah-like pose of the figure and the
classical modelling of the face planes.
He attributed this to the tradition OF
art minds working through the ages
rather than chance influences of the
moment.
In Good Preservation.
Quite as noteworthy is the state of
preservation In which the statue
comes to the museum, for with the ex-
ception of the loss Of the right hand
the material and condition is as perfect
as If ii had just come from the work
shop of the sculptor. The other pieces
of stone that have come from the time
of the eighteenth dynasty show most
plainly the buffeting of $500 years, but
the spirit of new sculpture is strong In
this image of Harmhab.
The figure is represented seated with
legs crossed and scroll of parchment
spread across its lap. The left hand
grasps one end of the scroll, while the
right, missing, very evidently held the
Quill pen, as shallow ink contalner,
similar to those in the Egyptian depart
ment, rests upon his left knee.
In this pose of scribe 1t Is quite
fitting that he should be composing a
letter to 10th, the letter writer Of the
gods and the divine protector, whose
influence obtained promotion for all
who followed clerical career on
earth. From his involved phrases on
the scroll, which have been interpreted.
1t is gathered that 10th guides him
who is In error and recalls every for
gotten thing. The writer further In
vokes the good graces Of 10th In
prayer that Is engraved around the
base Of the statue.
Claimed a God as Father.
Pendant to this prayer there Is
second, chiefly interesting because by
invoking Ptah, god of Memphis, 1t indi-
Gates the finding place of the statue.
Rumor has 1t that 1t was under the
palms of Mitrahineh, which cover the
ruins of the great temple Of Ptah In
the very heart Of ancient Memphis.

Many of the Brownies helped Ben
ME as he made the preparations for his
party.
Well, first of all they gathered many
piles of leaves and old Mr.. Wind and
the Breeze Brothers promised they
would help the party by not coming
around.
So they stayed away, and the
Brownies raked up the leaves and
made piles and piles of them.
Then they made one very enormous
pile of leaves and all around they
made paths Of leaves and rooms Of
leaves which led up to the big pile Of
leaves.
They had dressing-rooms made Of
leaves-they had these for the guests
to leave their outer wraps In II they
SO desired. and they had tiny little
pool made surrounded by leaves.
In the little pool the guests could
see their own reflections and could see
II their hair looked just right and II
their skirts were even.
Then the paths to the big pile Of
leaves led also past rooms Of leaves
in which after the bonfire there were
going to be refreshments and there
were little chairs and stands made Of
leaves.
Oh, II was a very magnificently ar
ranged party and Bennie spent hours
and days with some of the other
Brownies over It,
But they loved working over the
party. 1t was such fun to think Of all
the surprises they were going to ave
for others and then, too, Bennie want
ed to surprise his brother, Billie.
Billie was due to come home from
trip he had been taking on the aft
ernoon of the party.
Yes, more than anything Bennie
wanted to have splendid party for
his dear brother, Billie.
At last the day Of the party came
and the rooms of leaves and the paths
Of leaves and the great pile of leaves
were in absolute readiness.
All the guests began to arrive. Wit
ty Witch came first, and In honor Of
Bennie's autumn party she wore cos
tune of orange and crimson which
was really very handsome.
Old Mr. Grant came next and he
wore tall red boots and a suit of brown
with red touches. His red cravat was
especially admired by all.
The Fairy Queen came, too, dressed
In a scarlet costume which was
lovely.
Fairy Princess Joy wore a green

Fairy Princess Twilight-Bell wore q
