It is gratifying to learn from the forestry authorities at Washington that cutting Christmas trees is not a menace to the timber lands. It is ex plained that though 4,000,000 of these trees are used every year in the United States they represent a growth that is not material to the well being of the forests. In fact, it is said the thinning out thus assured may be beneficial to the remaining timber. So a beautiful custom may continue to be indulged in without any conscientious scruples.

Shirt Mystery Puzzles Police CHICAGO.—The Woodlawn polity have been working on a deep mys tery to solve. It concerns three woolen shirts. Two of the garments are size 15 ard the other is Hi, according to a message sent to all police stations by Cart. John McWeeney. The shirts were found by Patrolmm Hogan at Sixty-third street and Madi son avenue. They were strew'n along the sidewalk. Hogan called the patrol wagon and the shirts were sent to the station. Close examination of the garments revealed their size. After the lieu tenant and sergeant and “fly cops" d s cussed the mystery for 15 minutes a message was framed and telephoned to the central station. Later it was transmitted to each of the 44 stations in the city. This was the message: There Is at this station three woolen shirts. Two are size 15 and one 16. Capt. McWeeney's name was signed to it Patrolman Hogan modestly told of the “find” as follows: “1 was traveling my post about eight o’clock when my attention was attracted by the shirts lying on the sidewalk. As near as I can judge, they were about three feet apart. I won’t be positive, but I think the first one that I picked up was size 16. The other two were one size smaller. “I at once scented a mystery of some kind, fchther the shirts were part of the proceeds of a burglary or they had been lost was the theory that first suggested itself. There was no laundry marks on the shirts, prov ing that they had never been worn. "I called the wagon and sent, the garments to the station. That is all I know about the mystery." Lieutenant and Detective Sullivan was asked what he thought about the shirt mystery and rejiied: “Not having seen the shirts 1 wouldn't care to express an opinion offhand. There certainly is some mys tery there. I am acquainted with Po liceman Hogan, who found the shirts, and know him to be an efficient, level headed man. Something might de velop in a few hours that will assist in clearing up the mystery.” When the finding of the shirts was reported to inspector Hunt he or dered the arrest of all suspicious per sons in the Hyde Park and Woodlawn police districts. “It is the biggest mystery we have had in this police division for years." the inspector said. "The question is. ‘who owned the shirts?’ Until we es tablish the identity of the owner we will be groping in the dark. My de tective reasoning tells me that tho shirts belong to two persons, as they are of different sizes. The absence of laundry marks prove nothing. For all we know the owners of the shirts had them washed at home.” Assistant Chief of Police Schuttler doesn't believe the finding of the shirts had anything to do with gam bling. "I have heard the expression that a gambler would take the shirt off his back to raise money to play," the as sistant chief said, "but I think the gar ments don't belong to a gambler.” Kick ©n Rooster’s Early Crowine _ CROSS 1 HARKS spot ^ WHERE CRT N Got His BUKFALiO, N. Y.—Harry Wentworth's trained Iirahina rooster crows lus tily every morning before dawn f.nd struts proudly forth from the little coop in which he is kept in a yard opposite police station No. 3 in Pearl street. The trained Rrahma hen oc casionally looks around, and. if she sees no signs of the daylight over which her lord so proudly crows, she draws back into the snug coop again. Now tho hen goes to sleep; but the neighbors can’t. Six months ago the rooster wh'pped a cat on the steps of the Asbury M. E. church. The neigh bors admired the rooster for the feat, because cats have been a nightly nui i-ance in th. neighborhood. For a week after the fight with the cat the rooster crowed every morning It was summer ■ind folks did not mind it so mtch Then W entworth took the rooster for exhibition in a circus. They got back three weeks ago. The neighbors knew that brahma was back the very next morning They have knowm i* every morning since. A committee called upon Capt. Gilligan and made com plaint. "We might stand it if the blamed bird crowed around sunrise,” said one man to the captain. "But I'll be hanged if I'm going to put up with a racket that began this morning at 3:45.' The captain recommended the board of health. The delegation wanted more immediate action. Patrolman Conley was detailed by the captain to see Wentworth. "If he can’t put something over the rooster’" bill,” said the captain, “ask him it he’ll keep it in the basement or some other place until this thing Is straightened out." "Wentworth told me” said Conley, “that he could not understand what had got Intc that rooster He never crowed oefore he whipped the cat. He did not. crow all summer long; but he began to crow again just as soon as he got sight of the church steps, where the battt was fought. He’s goirg to board him In a livery stable for a few days and see how that works.” Would Let College Girls Have Beaus CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—“The amour) ot attention a ‘co-ed' should receive , ;rom a young man, the time of his ar rival and departure, and the necessity I of a cnaperon, depend entirely on con ditions," said Deal Lebaron R Briggs, | president ox Harvaru college anc a i dean of Harvard university. Lean | Hriggs, who is the most popular of the 1 instructors at Harvard and beloved by he college girls at Radcliffe makes his declaration in answer 10 the ques | tion, "How should a ‘co-ed’ be court ed?” Says Dean Briggs, “The college girl is no different than any other of her sex She craves company and social entertainments. To my mind it is per fectly proper that thi co-ed’ shoulc1 en- 1 tertain geni.emen callers while at col lege if they do not Interfere with her studies. A gentleman in the true sense of the word always knows when it is time to take his departure, so there is no neea for the college girl to burn the midnight oil in efforts to make up for time lost in entertaining a friend which should have been given over to study.’ "The social world with all its bright and dazzling lights finds but little sym pathy with studious pursuits and is an enemy to the college girl and her studies ” continued Mr. Briggs. “A cnaperon is, of course, a neces sary evil, and w hile I approve of them in the hous^ when a young lady re ceives callers, I can hardly imagine one seated in a room when a young man calls to see a lady friend with serious intent. At ftadclifle we try to make the girls as happy as we can. They have .heir l raternities. athletic associa tions and little so-ial affairs, which make them there withal better during their alloted study work. "A young lady herself is the best chooser 01 her friends of the opposite sex, anu his habi's should suit her; and u so no one else should inter fere.' Lost Appetite Cause of Bank Merger KS9 I CINCINNATI.—A tired man, and a lost ap'petite are responsible for tbe formation in Cincinnati of the last bank in the Ohio valley and one of the 12 greatest financial institution!) in the United States, a bank which will have a cap:talization of $6,OOJ.OOC and deposits of $26,000,000. M. E. Ingalls, for years at the head of the Big Four railroad; once head of the Cincinnati & Ohio; organizer, president and managing head of the Merchants National bank, worn out by his long rears of service, slowly walked into the Queen City club din ing room recently He had been there but a lew minutes when W. S. Rowe, president of the First National, caught sight of Ingalls dining alone, and walked over and took a seat across from him. Both chatted pleas antly until Ingalls' luncheon was placed upon the table. "What’s the matter? Don't seem to ue eating very much to-day," said President Rowe. "Oh, 1 don’t know. Seems as if my appetite has failed me." "Why don’t you take a tripi What is keeping you?" suggested Mr. Rowe. "The bank at the corner of Fourth and Vine streets,” was the direct an swer. "Sell to me," said Rowe, without a moment'p hesitation, looking directly into ingal's' eyes as he spoke "Make us a proposition," said In galls, finally. This conversation led to the big con solidation The Kind. With another kind of boat he might have beat us. So says Tom Llpton of his last dls aster.

Hints For Hostess TIMELY SUGGESTIONS for Those Planning Seasonable Entertainments A Wonder-Ball Party. This was a rainbow and wonder ball party combined and it was a most delightful affair. There were seven guests, all people who knew how to knit, and in this age with the revival of many of the lost arts (knit ting among them) many young maids and matrons know how to wield the needles in an expert manner. The hostess produced balls, one of each af the rainbow colors, the guests tak ing one from the pretty basket passed by the little daughter of the house. The object to be started was optional —a pair of mittens for a small child, a scarf, a wee sweater, a pair of knee pads; all these were commenced. As the knitting progressed, little fa vors were unwound. The first one was awarded a lovely box of home made candy, the one who found her treasures the last had a home-made cake, beautifully iced. This party was given for friends who did not play cards and cost no more than the average card party. The refreshment table was especially pretty; at each cover there was a tripod made of steel knitting needles from which was suspended a wee brass kettle (doll size) filled with salted almonds. A chafing dish was used for creamed chicken and mush rooms and there was coffee and choco served in tall glasses with small | cakes. Tit-Bits for a Musicale Luncheon. As musicale luncheons and teas seem to be the correct thing just now, ilie following quotations are appro priate for menu cards or programs: There's music in all things, if men had ears. Here we will sit and let the sounds of music break on our ears. Thus pass our joyous hours away. With flowers, and music, books and friends. I am never merry when I hear sweet music. Some to the church repair. Not for the doctrine, but the music there. Music exalts each joy, allays each grief. And softly the delicate veil was heard. Like the murmur of love or the notes of a bird. Music is nothing else but wild sounds I civilized into tune and time. “A Recipe for Happiness.” The following came to the depart ment. and as this is the season when rules and suggestions for “happiness” are in order we print it. The recipe may be accompanied by water color I or pen and ink sketches. Here is the j "recipe:” Take a hall dimly lit, I A pair of stairs where two may sit, ; Of music soft a bar or so: ; Two pairs o<—just pairs, you know; Of little love pats, one or two. Or one squeezed hand will do. A waist the sizo to be embraced. And two ripe Ups—rose-red to taste. And if the lips are soft and sweet. You’ll find your happiness complete Toast to a Bride. This is a charming sentiment to send to a bride on her wedding day, or may be given as a toast if the j right opportunity offers. There have been numerous requests for a verse of this kind, and after careful search ing I think is the best of all the ones I have looked over lately: TO A BRIDE. All earthly good I wish thee. All good for thee and thine; And still not only earthly But all that is divine. May earth and heaven mingle. May earth and heaven be one. All through your earthly journey. Till sets your earthly sun. The heart that you have given. The heart that’s given to you. May both be linked together, May both be good and true. In sunshine and in shadow, In sighing and in song, Slav heaven bless your union. Throughout your whole life long. An Anecdote Party. With a dinner invitation went the request that each guest come prepared to tell a good story or an anecdote. In this way the hostess insured her self against that dreadful calm which all hostesses so dread. I heard a clever woman say once that she felt that each guest owed it to himself or herself, as the case might be, to make it a bounden duty to be as bril liant as possible at any social func tion. Story telling may be cultivated, I as with everything else practice makes j perfect. Keep a book with bright say ings in it and consult it while dress ing. MADAME MERRI. The large rolling-brim hats of the Gainsborough type hold first place for afternoon and evening wear. Small boys are wearing tam-o'-shan ter hats in cloth, bearskin and cordu roy, the ear flaps silk lined. Fine gold wire is entwined through curls, while immense cabochons qf dull coloring appear in the hair. Mandarin is the name given to a yellowish tan, while Corinth is an ex tremely faded shade of old rose. Two rich materials, tapestry and fur, are to be found on some lovely little turbans, and the effect is beauti ful. The new scarfs this year are wide, perfectly flat and very long, many reaching to below the knees in front. While the short coat has little vogue for the winter, it is predicted that it will be the leader in the spring styles. Embroidery I HERE is a pretty design in embroid ery for ornamenting the corner of a handkerchief, satin-stitch with small dots for filling some of the leaves is worked with fine cotton a la croix; the panels are two lines of satin stitch, and in this initials are to be worked. J To transfer design to handkerchief, .lake a clear tracing of it. rub a sofl Mack-lead pencil over the back, place tracing black side down on handker chief, then go over the design with a hard pencil, a clear outline will be left on handkerchief. The design is not hard to complete. TWO MODELS WORTH COPYING New Coats Designed Either for Sep arate Wear or as a Part of a Suit. Two new coat models have appeared for our delectation. One is a cutaway and short, the other a Russian modi fication. They are equally suitable for sepa rate wear and as a part of a suit. The back of the cutaway has a yoke that reaches almost to the waist line and is sewed in with the underarm seam. The skirt below this is cut out at the waist line for a space of four inches, with a plaited panel inserted, the plaits—four of them—being turned toward each other. One side of the front fastens across the other in a di agonal line, with three buttons, and* three motifs cut from the material of which the coat is made, placed close to the lower edge. At the bust line, below the shoulders, the material is slashed, and the fulness that comes trom the upper portion is gathered and placed under the edge of the lower portion, which has first been finished with machine stitching. It is a singularly good model, with excel lent lines. The other coat is best adapted to the richer fabrics, especially brocade or velvet, and is suitable for day or evening wear, providing its material is not prohibitive. It is cut like a double breasted ulster, with or without a seam down the back, and the sleeves are larger at the bottom than at the top, where there is no fulness. The seam under the arm is left open for several inches, and the back and front section caught up together with an ornament. This, properly managed, produces the effect of deep-rounded points which appear to be in the nat ural course of the line of the fronts. lb the model, an imported one, this design was developed in an exquisite blue and silver brocacle, designed os tensibly for evening purposes, with a collar of plain blue velvet of the bro cade. As trimming on daytime dresses and evening robes, beads are used with ereat success. They are seen in al colors. COUNT’S POLE FLANS Zeppelin to Use Two Balloons in Quest. Prof. H. Hergesell, Now Visiting in United States, Divulges Details of Proposed Aerial Trip to the Arctic. New York.—Prof. H. Hergesell of Strasburg, Germany, who arrived here on the steamship Joachim from Kings ton, Jamaica, divulged numerous de tails in connection with the proposed journey to the north pole by airship, planned by Count Zeppelin and him self. 8 “We Intend to explore the entire arctic circle,” said Prof. Hergesell. "Two airships, which will be con structed by Count Zeppelin, are to be used on the expedition. One is to be left at a relief station in Spitzbergen. The other is to be used in making the excursions. We will keep in touch with the relief station by means of wireless telegraphy. “In a few days I will start for Ger many to prepare for the expedition. Count Zeppelin is to begin work on the large airship within a year and we will then begin the trip as soon as con ditions permit. “From Cross bay, near where a sup ply station is to be established, to the north pole, over Spitzbergen, is approx imately S00 miles. With favorable winds the trip can be made in thirty to forty hours, or perhaps less time. “The run to the pole will be really a secondary matter. The principal ob ject of the expedition is to gather reli able scientific data of the arctic re gions. We plan to study meteorologi cal conditions, make deep-sea sound ings and survey the arctic belt, and es pecially the regions to the north of Greenland and Francis Josephs bay, of which so little is knowm.” Prof. Hergesell says that many diffi culties will have to he overcome if the expedition is to meet with sue Count Zeppelin. cess. One of the main problems is to replenish the airship with gas. Several stations for that purpose will be es tablished. The almost continuous foggy v eather in the arctic belt offers a serious obstacle to the explorers Another problem is to make , accurate observations as to directions, as the ordinary instruments are useless in the vicinity of the pole. "We fear nothing,’ said the profes sor. “We are confident of complete success, providing the development ot airships goes forward as fast as we anticipate. It is essential that im provements be made in the dirigible although it is not impossible that Zep pelin III., as the count's latest airship is known, could make the trip "The airship which is to sail over the pole will be about 450 feet long, with aluminum frame, 30 to 35 gas chambers, and carrying a capacity of 35 persons.” Prof. Hergesell says that probably 12 men will go. Commander Peary has not been in vited to accompany the expedition. The German government, it is ex pected, will finance the expedition. Kaiser Wiihelm is taking a personal interest in the proposed trip and the German nation is looking on the enter prise with a spirit of national pride Prince Albert of Monaco, the multi millionaire ruler of that principality, famed as the seat of the Monte Carlo gambling palace. Is to be one of the arctic argonauts. He has for years taken an interest in scientific explora tions and is a close friend of the kaiser. When Wives Were Sold. When the war between Britain and France ended in 1 SI5 many of the English soldiers found that their wives had married again in the beliel that they were widows. The formal selling of the wife was regarded among the ignorant as a legal solution of the problem thus presented, and it is said that the authorities of the day deemed it best to shut their eyes at the proceeding. A certain amount of formality had to be observed, however, before the sale was considered legal, even by the most ignorant. A Yorkshire writer mentions two conditions which must be carried out to make a satisfactory sale. The price of the wife must not be less than one shilling (24 cents), and she must be delivered to her purchaser with a new halter around her neck. The same writer records the case of the woman who zealously preserved the receipt for herself as a proof of respectability. A Failure. “It won’t work,” remarked Van Jones, as he took his favorite seat in front of the hotel window. "What won’t?” inquired Fitz Smith. “This idea of thought transference.

HER WEIGHT INCREASED EROM IOO TO 140 POUNDS. Wonderful Praise Accorded Perunathe Household Remedy Mrs. Maria Goertz, Orienta, Okla homa, writes: “My husband, children and myself have used your medicines, and wo al ways keep them in th house in case of necessity. I was restored to health by this medicine, and Dr. Hartman’s in valuable advice and books. People ask about me from different places, and are surprised that I can do all of my house work alone, and that I was cured by the doctor of chronic catarrh. My husband was cured of asthma, my daughter of earache and catarrh of the stomach, and my son of catarrh of the throat. When I was sick I weighed 100 pounds; now I weigh 140. “I have regained my health again, and I cannot thank you enough for your advice. May God give you a long life and bless your work.” GOING UP! “You haven’t any work now? ’ “No, I’m just waiting. I began by opening cab doors. Then I opened the doors of motor cars. Now I'm waiting till the aeroplanes are ready.” BREAKS A COLD IN A DAY And Cures any Cough that is Curable. Noted Physician’s Formula. This is said to be the most effective remedy for coughs and colds known to science. “Two ounces Glycerine; half ounce Concentrated Pine; Put these into half a pint of good whiskey and use in doses of tea:poonful to a table spoonful ever}' four hours. Shale bot tle well each time.” Any druggist has these ingredients in stock or will nuickly get them from his wholesale nouse. The Concentrated Pine is a special pine product and comes only in half ounce vials each enclosed in an air tight case; But be sure it is labeled “Concentrated.” This formula cured hundreds here last winter. His Terrible Threat. Aviation has improved considerably since the time when Col. Cleary, then county commissioner and for years a well-known Chicagoan, made a balloon ascension at a county fair over in Michigan, says the Chicago Journal. As the guest of honor the colonel was sent upward with the assurance that there was absolutely no danger But as the distance from the earth grew greater the colonel leaned out anxiously. “Pull me in!" he shouted. The men who were bailing out the rope paid no heed to his demand. Higher and higher went the balloon. Wilder and wilder grew the colonel. Finally, almost standing on his head as he tried to keep a precarious bal ance, he gave a final cry of exas perated panic; “Pull me in, I tell you, or I’ll cut the rope!” When we occasionally do meet a man whose head hasn’t been turned by success, we naturally conclude that he has a stiff neck.
