a HOME Demonstration Agent
\ wrote me the other day to say
that many of the women in her
group had made the spool shelves
described in SEWING BOOK 3 and
the end tables of spools in Book 5.
"One member has an interesting
collection of pitchers and would
like to make corner whatnot for
them," the letter continued.
Well, here it is ladies'! With the
collection of pitchers all in place.
The sketch gives all dimensions
and instructions. The triangle
shelves are cut from one board
as shown at the left. The second
shelf from the bottom needs six
holes. ALI the others have three
holes each. The design may be
varied by using larger spools at
the bottom for the first spool above
and below each shelf. Use extern
sion curtain rods to fit the holes
in the spools. A little glue be-
tween spools makes the whatnot
rigid. When finished, it may be
stained or painted.

Knitted accents on your tweeds
and other wool fashions are being
interpreted in clever ways this fall.
Attractive little wool frocks often
have fancy hand-knitted pockets to-
gether with collars and cuffs. Insets
of knitted motifs are among the
novel uses, and they certainly add
an attractive feature to the new
dresses and blouses and coats. In

handsome green tweed has knitted
sleeves. A cleverly gored skirt and
matching tweed bag contribute dis
tinguishing style touches.
Also popular is one-piece knitted

In 1905 the Jewel Tea company,
one of the first of the chain or
carnations, opened branch office
in Butte Their exploitation policy
of awarding premiums with all
purchases Of teas and coffees met
with instant success. From
modest beginning of one delivery
wagon their business increased SO
rapidly that within year they
were using six outfits.
The tea company had their own
ideas of transportation. Instead Of just
ordinary horses, fine spanking span
of seal brown Missouri mules were at
tached to each of their delivery We
hicles. The majority of these animals
lived true to mule tradition. They were
stubborn, vicious and unruly. No ordin-
airy teamster would suffice to drive
these contrary beasts. Mule skinnerS
are not easily trained, they must be
born to the tradition.
Imported SINNERS
The Jewel Tea company imported
theirs direct from Missouri. Tough, to-
bacco-chewing, thin and angular, they
took to the guiding Of the mules as
the proverbial duck to water Meager
but vitrolic was the vocabulary OF these
SINNERS. They wasted very little per-
suasion on the mules. In their opinion
handle properly applied to the more
vulnerable portions Of the mules anat-
omy conveyed far more meaning and
understanding to a mule than any
amount of cajoling or coaXing on their
part.
January 8. 1906, was cold blustery
day. The thermometer was hitting the
low spots. A mean day for man OF
beast and a poor day indeed for a
stubborn mule to choose to go native
and perform mulish antics on the
busiest corner of the Butte business
district.
Mules being what they are, however
this was the very time that a cleaning
span of the tea firms animals chose
! to go on both standstill and sit-down
strike.

miners who are going at the Cooke
deposits today with modern technique
and better transportation facilities.
Allen operated a hotel for so many
years that he has to stop and think
just when he entered the business.
Never a very big business, it catered
to the occasional visitors from the out
side and the intrepid summer tourist
who wanted TO bury himself far in the

well into his eighties. and is spending
this winter in Livingston. In addition
to his hosiery he traded in mining

to be the standard asking price for
Cooke properties.

Another Railroad Boom
Some 25 years ago a group of pro-
motors launched another Cooke rail-
road boom. The late O. NJ. Harvey,
Livingston attorney. was asked to sit
in with the crowd at a booster session.
Called upon to discuss the proposition.
Harvey .grinned in his peculiar way
and said:
When they get railroad to Cooke
and mining takes boom. I'm going TO
move my law office up there. For when
things really begin to move at Cooke
it will take a dozen lawyers a long
time to settle boundary disputes and
to quiet claim titles"
Good roads, easy transportation and
new interest IN mining has brought
about that exact situation in more than
a mild degree.
And those interested in Cooke still
insist that the New World Mining dis
trict Is going to be heard from in a
big way.
