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.” Plain Dealing.

' While the proverbial Englishman may not be able to distinguish a Joke In less than t,wo weeks’ time, he often says something to arouse the risi¬ bilities. Among the passengers on 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 prominent Scotchman in New York?" —New York Times.

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.

V 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. .V A % WTi rJ -n as lit W \\ 'i 1 Sgw. i i } i \ •Ml \ 1 ;■...... •■ \ M7T ■ m \ ! MM f I I V !■ l\ ; • J. \ / m •. s v r s : V 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. m V~ v m ft wlSjkJ Wii m, SM tta»S : |4f mt ) LX is m YM « m ft ft m The quantity of material required for the medium size is two and seven eighth yards twenty-one, one and three-quarter yards thirty-six inches wide, with two and three-eighth yards eighteen or seven-eighth yard forty four inches wide for yoke and sleeves, to make as illustrated. For Her Tailored Suit. Now that the fact of our once more wearing separate collars and cuffs on our coats has been firmly es¬ tablished, the neckwear makers have straightway become busy and evolved all sorts of new and fascinating pieces.

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.

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.
