Since the departure of ex-President Theodore Roosevelt for his African
hunt, the American people have been searching for tho hiding place of the
“Big Stick.” Admirers of President. Taft declare that it has vanished from
the White House and that its place has been taken by the “Big Smile.” But
Coloradoans claim to have found the formidable weapon, and in support of
their assertions that they have been made its custodians, present the accom¬
panying photograph of “The Big Stick.”
In a lftrge natural park on the open plain, about fifteen miles east of
Colorado Springs and within sight of Pike’s Peak are many curious rock
formations, similar in a certain degree to those of the Garden of the Gods,
but of white instead of red sandstone. The existence of this strange park has
been known to ranchmen in the vicinity for a long time, but it was not until
the remarkable similarity of one of the rocks to “The Big Stick” was noticed
that any notoriety was given to It. The tract was then named Roosevelt
Park, and to the club-shaped rock formation, standing fifteen feet In height,
was given the sobriquet “The Big Stick.”

' While the proverbial Englishman

In less than t,wo weeks’ time, he often
says something to arouse the risi¬

one of the big ocean liners lately com¬
ing from Cherbourg was a Britisher
with an appetite for information on
topics of every conceivable descrip¬
tion. Wherever knowledge was be¬
ing disseminated he was to be found.
One day he overheard another pas¬
senger remark that the captaiu had
said they should see Sandy Hook
within twenty-four hours.
“Sandy Hook!” exclaimed the
Onglishman; “and who's he; some

Only Way He Could Get Even.
Frank Bertram, a well known ac¬
tor, tells the following story:
“I was playing at Leicester during
the fair week and in the market place
there were several merry-go-rounds.
“I noticed one melancholy Individ¬
ual who, despite the fact that he was
apparently suffering greatly, persisted
In riding on one of the merry-go
rounds.
“Eventually I spoke to him and
asked him if he liked it.
“The man replied, ‘No, I don’t like
it a bit; the blessed thing makes me
ni.’
“I then asked him why he persist¬
ed in riding, and his reply was: ‘I
can’t help it.. The man who owns this
roundabout owes me money, and the
only way I can get even is by taking
it out in rides.’ ”—London Daily Tel
eg raph.
Best He Could Do.
Passerby—“Here, boy, your dog
has bitten me on the ankle.”
Dog Owner—“Well, that’s as high
as he could reach. You wouldn’t ex¬
pect a little pup like him to bite your
neck, would yer?”—Pearson’s Week

costume. It can be worn with the
coat suit or with skirt to match, and
is attractive utilized in both ways.
The model is a simple one trimmed
with silk bands that give exceedingly
becoming lines, it allows a choice of
fancy or plain slteeves, and is suited
to silk, cashmere or voile and other
seasonable materials quite as well as
to net. It can be made either with or
without the fitted lining, and conse¬
quently it can be utilized for the sim¬
ple waist of flannel or cashmere as
well as for the more dressy one.
The waist consists of the fitted lin¬
ing, which is optional. It is made
with front and back portions. When
the lining is used It is faced to form
the chemisette, but when it is omitted
the chemisette is attached beneath
the trlmmTng, In case of the net the
lining is omitted and the thin silk is
cut exactly like the outside, but when
cashmere or material of similar
weight is used, fitted foundation is
often found desirable. When fancy
sleeves are used, the plain ones are
faced to form the cuffs and the over
portions are arranged over them.
Fur neckpieces are very xvide and
muffs are huge.

Mission Monograms.
An attractive way to embroider the
initials on a set of tablecloth and nap¬
kins to use with mission or craft fur¬
niture is to place the letters one above
the other and inclose them in a square
shaped medallion, open a little on
both sides, says an expert needlewom
an. These letters should be square
In shape and simple in design, and are
to be well padded and worked solid.
The effect will be very good with the
plain style of furniture.
Plajn Fitted Guimpe.
The plain fitted guimpe is much
demand just now, and this one can
made of lining material and faced
form the. yoke and with sleeves
match or of all-over lace, net or
guimpe material throughout. It
absolutely plain and it fits the
snugly, so that it can be worn
neath any blouse without
bulk. There are both plain,
fitting two-piece sleeves and
that are cut in one piece, and the
mer can be used as foundation for the
latter.or either can be used
as liked.
The guimpe is made with
and hacks, and can be faced either
form a yoke as illustrated or to the
waist line as liked. There is a high
collar finishing the neck. The two
piece sleeves are cut with upper and
under portions in regulation style and
the one-piece sleeves are cut to form
points over the bands.

Now that the fact of our once

LATE NEWS NOTES.
General.
The first wireless mesage from the
Great Lake to the Gulf of Mexico
was inaugurated last week by two
newspapers, the Chicago Record-Her¬
ald and the Houston Post. The dis¬
tance covered is nine hundred miles
and the return message was received
in just twenty minutes.
The Virginia legislature, which
meets in January, t will be asked
to
pa.-:s a law prohibiting the playing of
football in Virginia, or at least plac¬
ing such restrictions on the game as
to reduce the danger to life and limb.
This plan Ib the result of a eampaigu
by the death of two players this year.
Fred D. Warren, editor of the So¬
cialist Appeal to Reason of Girard,
Kans., who was sentenced to six
months in jai! and a fine of |1,500 for
sending through the mails an offer of
a reward of |1,000 for the kidnapping
of former Governor Wiliiam S. Taylor
of Kentucky has filed the record for
an appeal in the federal court of ap¬
peals at St. Louis.
In an effort to discover die cause
and remedy for pellegra, a scries of
experiments on monkeys is being con¬
ducted at the New Orleans Pasteur
institute. Innocuiated two weeks ago
with the blood from a victim of pel¬
legra, the simians are being carefully
watched for a possible development
of the symptoms of the disease, it
was said, however, that thus far they
had failed to respond to the infection.
Howard Bennett of Beloit, Wis,,
is said to have discovered a new sub
element, not unlike the waves of
wireless telegraphy, but differing in
many essentials from electricity. He
is developing machines lo utilize this
mysterious power, which was discov
ered by accident. Details of the dis
covery are being kept secret until pa
tents are secured. Howard Bennett is
a sophomore in Beloit college. Those
who are acquainted with the discov¬
ery say it is one of the wonders of
the age.
‘‘If the American people could be
cut off from the influence of Europe
for three years the effects on Ameri¬
can art and literature would be not
only vastly beneficial, but positively
astounding. Native genius, would,
in that time, lay the foundations of a
literature and an art that would be
typically American and Americans
would then begin to produce an art
and a literature that could be reeog
nized as American the moment they
were seen.” This was the declaration
of Dr. Frederic van Eeden, the noted
Dutch dramatist, novelist and scien¬
tist, to a Chicago society.
Waihington.
The flue of $5,0(H) assessed by the
collector of the port of Mobile against
the Norwegian bark Hodving, for ea
tering port without a bill of health
from an American consul in South At
rica, has been reduced to $25 by the
treasury department.
A gobbler weighing fifty-one pounds
a whopping turkey, so fat that he can
hardly hobble, is to fall before the
axe in a few days to grace the
Thanksgiving table of the biggest
(avoirdupois) prsident that haa ever
sat at Washington. Ever since the
first year of General Grant’s term In
the white house Horace Vose, Wes¬
terly, K. L, has supplied American
presidents wilh their Thanksgiving
turkey. The bird he sends to Presi¬
dent Taft this year is the largest one
that Vose has ever raised.
While General Marshal] recom¬
mends in his annual report that $36,
000,000 be carried by the next rivers
and harbors bill, it is probable that
the secretary of the treasury in his
annual estimates to congress the first
day of the session will cut this down
.some $20,000,000. The agitation for a
$500,000,000 bond issue and the meet¬
ings of waterways conventions all
over the country will likely result in
a rather liberal rivers and harbors
bill framed on the usual lines by the
house and senate committees.
The employer’ liability law of 1906
was declared to be constitutional in
territories of the United States and
the District of Columbia by the su
prerne court of the United States, des
pite the fact that more than a year
ago this law was declared to be un¬
constitutional when applied to the
states. The question arose in a suit
for damages for the death of an em¬
ploye named Guiterez on the El Paso
and Northeastern railroad in New
Mexico.
That there will be no pardon from
the white house for Samuel Gompers,
John Mitchell and Frank Morrison of
the American Federation of Labor, in
case the supreme court of the United
States upholds the lower court and
finds them guilty of contempt, is a
fact strongly indicated by the jailing
of former Sheriff Shipp of Chattanoo¬
ga and his associates. The depart¬
ment of justice has come to the con¬
clusion that Sheriff Shipp and the.
men sentenced with him for contempt
of the United States supreme court
cannot be pardoned.

SPRING PLACE, GA.
The secretary of the navy has ap¬
proved the recommendation of the
superintendent of the Naval academy
for the dismissal of Cadet John P..
Hyman of South Carolina. General
inaptitude, which has caused seven
other cadets to leave the acedem/
ihis year is the cause of the dismis
sal of Hyman.
Commander Peary, the Artie ex
plorer, will be promoted to the rank
captain October 20, 1910, acco.d
ins to Assistant Secretary Winthrop
— , date
of the navy department. On that
U. S. G. White will be retired
on account of age. Peary is the only
engineer in the navy with the
rank of commander, and his promo
tion to a captaincy will come as a
natural advancement.
Reaching the top of the world is
the end of it.
