Wiiliam Bayard Hale has been a good deal in the public eye of late be cause President Huerta of Mexico ob jected to his presence in that repub lic. Dr. Hale was a clergyman, but is better known as an editor and writer. He is forty-four years old, and comes from Richmond, Ind. He was educat ed at Harvard, and was in the minis try from 1896 until 1900. Then he became editor of the Cosmopolitan Magazine. In 1901 he was made editor of Current Literature. He gave up the magazine field in 1902 to become a special correspondent of the New York World. Then for several years he was managing editor of the Phila delphia Public Ledger. Later he was one of the editors of the New York Times, and in 1909 he went to Paris aB correspondent of that paper. He is a brilliant writer. Various foreign governments hare honored him. He is a Knight Com mander of the Imperial Order of the Rising Sun of Japan atjd an officer of the uraer oi i>eopoia oi ncigium. tie has been quite a student of history. He wrote the “Making of the American Constitution,” which is ti standard publication. He was associated with Mr. Wilson in some of his historical writings. Most of his articles in the last four years have appeased in the World's Work, of which he is one of the editors. He went to Ma^ico at the request of Mr. Wilson to study the situation there and report conditions. Like Mr. Dodge, he is an ardent admirer of the president, and the president knows his mental attitude and his character * thoroughly It is uo new thing Tor Mr. Hale to enjoy the confidence of men in high places. He is a close friend of Theodore Roosevelt, and was a frequent visitor at the White Hotise during the Roosevelt administrations. He has the friendship, too, of Kais^f Wilhelm of Germany. WRITES POEMS TO ORDER Handmade verse, insttad of court made law. has been handed out by Representative Edward T- Taylor of Colorado in many an instance where he beiieved he could serve his clients better with common senses than juris prudence. Taylor is on& of the big characters of the mountj.'nous state trom which he conies, and in addition to his knowledge on the subject of ir rigation. public lands and law, he is considered to be a shrewd and far seeing citizen worth while knowing. He had a law case once in which a ranchman named Greenougi rode 25 miles one hot day to iind Taylor in his little office at Eleawood Springs. Greenough's complaint lay ir. the fact that a neighbor's hens would stray across the dividing line an<k scratch up Greenough's garden sass. I'm tired of talking to thai fellow," said the ranchman, "and I wyit to get out a court injunction ag^.nst the hens—not the owner—the hjnsl Do you understand?" flow many hens are th&*e?' asked Taylor. "About a thousand.” relied Greenough. Taylor figured up the nvmber of eggs that a thousand hard-working hens might produce, and then instead of giving words to a long list of legal advice, he scribbled down a four-lin* verse and handed it to Greenough. This was the verse: "If the j; sultry of your neighbor man Into yo^r yard should chance to stray, Don’t let ,-our angry passions rise. But fin^ the hens a place to lay!” THIS IS J. W. BRYAN Secretary Bryan and Representative J. W, Bryan of Washington are not re lated, but they are much alike ic that both are great public speakers. The secretary of state got his early training in schooi “boyorator ine" out in Nebraska, while the rep resentative learned to talk while sell ing books down in Texas. Bryan was Eole agent for northern Texas and other parts for the w orks of Dr. De Witt Talmage. He had a six teen-pound oration and a twelve-pound book that he just fairly threw at the natives for several summers, while working his way through college. They do say down there that once he got the front door open and his foot be tween it and the threshhold the hon est housekeeper had as well dig up $1.75 for a set of half morocco Tal mage works and save time. He near ly always made a sale. During the first summer out Bryan had several peculiar experiences. He traded boo;:-; lor lodging, bo;..-I and most everything else Finally he became so affluent hat he bought «y mself a horse and buggy and went scurrying around the countryside on wueela—a thing no book agent in those parts ever had done be ore Hut no oook agent is so clever that he does not fall down on a sale once in a while. Bryan missed tl-*~ bull's-eye badly on one shot. He landed in a town one day with a full set of Talmage's works and Bibles, and that very night the holy writ was stolen from the burg's only church. Bryan aid not dare atterr pt a sale for fear suspicion would fall on him, sc he sat idly by and saw another make the deal. SENGR MANUEL DE ZAMACONA ' Manuel de Zamacona. ones. Mexican minister at Washington, arrived in this country a short while ago on a mission from President H’lt-rta. His mission was said to bear some sem blance to that of Ex-Governor Lind, who was sent to Mexico by President Wilson, .’t is understood that Zama cona was Huerta's personal repre sent;:: ixe. and did not possess an offcial status. There Is some ground for the belief however, that Zamacona had the sanc tion of the so-called dictator of Mexi co for an endeavor to reopen the ne gotiations which had been at a stand still since the last note of Foreign Minister Gamboa, turning down the proposals of President Wilson. When he left Maxico Ctty, en route for Washington, it was said he was going to see the several members of President Wilson's cabinet in an at- • tempt to negotiate a loan to put Huer ta’s government on a substantial financial basis, ana to maae a aesperate effort to raise at least $5,000,0*0 In gold to pay the interest on the National railway bonds, which fell due on October 1. President Wilson and his cabinet members, however, refused to open negotiations with Senor Zamacona as a representative of the Huerta admin istration, and therefore, it is said,' his mission, so far as the loan is concerned, was a failure. . # Milady in Gold Attire JT'ST as gorgeous and just as beauti ful as it can be. this gown in one of the many wonderful gold shades shows the cleverest handling of the most extreme ideas in this winter's modes. The skirt of panne velvet of the softest and most supple variety is made on the “Turkish trouser” model. About, all its fullness is arranged at the front. There is no mistaking the appearance it makes on the wearer. It looks actually more like a pair of voluminous trousers than like our ordinary rkirts. The pannier and bodice in one. with soft crushed girdle of velvet, is a wonderful garment. The drapery is arranged in two over-hanging pan niers, broadening the hips and hang ing into the figure at the bottom. The bodice is cut with a kimono sleeve, apparently, although it is hard to be sure of this. At all events, the arm's-eye is not discernible In it. The sleeve is lengthened until it cov ers the wrist and extends in a point over the back of the hand. Such sleeves are the height of styles. This costume is an achievement of which the designer has a right to be proud. It manages difficult problems* of draping in the beet way. There is a pretty fichu of net worn under the bodice, and a standing ruff about the neck. A finish of long loops of black velvet ribbon in a narrow width is placed at the termination of the neck ruff at each side. One cannot help wondering at and admiring the lovely turban which finishes this toilette. A length of soft fur, or plush, appears to be wrapped about the head and provid ed with the narrowest of supporting brims at one side. Poised at the cen ter is the body and head of a wing less butterfly made of velvet. The audacity of a wingless' butterfly used as an ornament would be unforgiv able except that the gorgeous crea ture in gold is the real butterfly, which fact his velvet fly ship is pro claiming at the top of his—turban. The pretty clothing of the feet Is to be noted. Silk stockings in black, and pointed slippers of black satin, laced across the instep with narrow black ribbon. Not a jewel is worn here. The toilette is in fact a wonderful con ception and the smallest detail has not been neglected. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. CREPE AND CHIFFON I FOR ACCESSORIES THAT MATCH HAT IX keeping wit! the ideas of the sea son. which show a preference for muffs and neck pieces to match the hat. crape has been utilized to make very chic accessories to be worn with mourning millinery. The most popular fashions in hats, as to shape and deco ration, lend themselves with unusual appropriateness to this material. The crape set of three pieces, hat, muff and scarf, shown in this picture, illustrates how successfully this beau tiful fabric may be used in this way. Except for the silk lining of the muff, no other material is required to make and trim the several pieces, except a strip of rather heavy chiffon which forms the scarf. The ornaments on each piece are fashioned of the crape. The small round hat with slightly rolling brim is covered with the mate rial put on smoothly. The crown is small and puffed, and the odd standing ornament is made of a hemmed strip of crape wrapped about a supporting wire and ruffled about it at the top. The scarf is only a plain length of chiffon with its edges finished with a wide border of crape. The ends are gathered and finished with an orna ment made of folds of crape and fin ished with a bound scarf end of the fabric. This is a strip of the material hound with a narrow bias fold of crape like that which trims the muff. A ready made muff bed lined with black si’k and covered with it as an interlining makes the construction of the muff a simple matter. Five deep folds of crape are placed over each side and sewed down at the ends. A strip bound of the material is brought across the top, tacked down one side, covering the ends of the plaits and tied in a knot with hanging end as a finish. The set is as handsome as anyone could wish and only ordinary skill in sewing is required to make it. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Freshening Furs. Any fur coat, muff or neck piece that needs freshening up may be greatly improved in appearance sim ply by brushing with a soft brush and water, to which one tablespoonful of pure alcohol has been added for every quart. Always brush with the nap of Jbe fur. When white or light-gray furs have become soiled they may be cleaned easily in gasoline. Ribbon Set*. -- Detachable sleeve trimmings to match the waist garniture are easily made. and afford a desirable way of rejuvenating a last season's blouse. These ribbon setB are delightful bits of work for leisure moments and quite transform an otherwise plain waist. New Stocking*. Stockings are made with anklets of embroidery or beads or rhinestones. They seem fanciful, but are really no more so than the now accepted rhine stone studded heels which were laughed at when they made their first appearance here last winter. Color Contrast. Sometimes no color contrast is to be found in a dress. And then the dainty woman provides it by the flow er Which she tncks into the corsage or waist. Sometimes she chooses a single rose in flaming scarlet, at oth ers a peony in glorious purple, and again a huge bunch of violets or a ' spray of delicate orchids to curious browns and yellows. Or. eschewing j color, she takes a large clematis to : smooth white velvet and, thrusting It : Into the front of her coat, endows her i whole costume with a note of origi nality, and so achieves Success. Aprons for Children. Tan cotton aprons, bound with bias strips of pink or blue lawn, and stamped with a simple design to.be embroidered in outline stitch, are sold for 49 cents. They are for children. They are cut on all-enveloping lines, and would make admirable/ play aprons. There are deep pockets across the bottom and straps that button on the shoulders. THOUSANDS OF AVAILABLE HOMESTEADS Western Canada's Homestead Area Being increased. i _____ The great rush for homesteads whenever a reservation is opened by the U. S. government reveals the fact that there is a great desire on the part of the American people to get land. The fact that tens of thousands are on band at every opening, and on ly a few hundred homesteads are available shows that the avail able agricultural lands which are in the gift of the government are rap idly diminishing. In addition to this agricultural lands that are of proved value have advanced in price to such an extent that it becomes a serious question to the man with moderate means who intends to go into farming, where he shall go. Fortunately there is yet to be bad in Western Canada, either in Manitoba, Saskatchewan or ] Alberta, thousands of free homesteads : of 160 acres each, which may be had, | by the simple process of filing, paying a ten dollar entrance fee, and living on ! it for six months each year for three veals. There is no necessity to make i a long, tedious and expensive journey, I only to find you have one chance in 1 fifty of getting what you want. Al though this homesteading has been | going on in Canada for a number of I years, and hundreds of thousands of ! them have been taken by hundreds of 1 thousands of Americans, there re mains sufficient to last for some time, and of as good land as any that has ; yet been taken up. In fact, in the i opinion of very many, those that are : left are of the best. They comprise lands that give the opportunity to in i dulge in the grow ing of grain, wheth | er it be wheat, oats, barley or flax, but in addition these lands are admir ably adapted for mixed farming, a class of farming that is certain to give 1 better returns than that of all grain growing. Cattle thrive and fatten on the nutritious grasses; dairying can be carried on successfully; timber for building is within reach, and water is 1 easy to get. These lands are located in the park districts of any of the three provinces; groves of trees in tersperse the landscape and give it a beauty that cai only be attained in the more open prairie sections by the planting of trees. Tree culture by the way is being carried on to a great ex tent. Besides these free grant lands there are lands which may be had by purchasing from railways and private companies ana individuals. These j lands have not increased in price as their productive qualities and their lo cation might have warranted, and may : still be had at reasonably low prices j and on easy terms. The crop in West , era Canada in 1913 was one of the ! best of the number of good crops that ’ that country has raised. Wheat has been reported with yields of from 30 , to 45 bushels per acre, and other grain | with like heavy yields.—Advertise ment. Sir Robert Ball. In the death of Sir Robert Ball afc I the age of seventy-three science loses i one of those rare interpreters who i bring her wonders within the compre i liension of the multitude. Like the late Lord Avebury (Sir John Lub bock), Sir Robert Ball had a faculty for simple- writing which he employ ed in the production of such works ; as “The Story of the Heavens,” “Star land,” “In Starry Realms” and ”ln the High Heavens. These books prob ably did more than any others of the kind to stimulate the study of astron omy and make it popular. The people j of this generation owe a large debt to Sir Robert Ball. The debt was freely acknow ledged in his own Coun ; try, where he received substantial rec ognition from the government, from i scientific societies, from schools and universities. It has been les^ freely ; but still sufficiently acknowledged in | this country, where his books have sold well, and where he was a most welcome and appreciated guest on ! more than one occasion.—Brooklyn !

But the girl with a small foot may be able to set it down hard on a man's neck after he has faced the parson with her. COMBINED TO DO NOTHING! Southern Statesman Tells Good Story of Two Darkies Who Met at Henhouse Door. A southern representative who lives in a small village says that one night i not long ago,' hearing a noise some where in the neighborhood of his hen house he arose and, under cover of a board fence, crept to the place. He could presently make out a dark form, apparently trying to force the hen house door. Just then another dusky shape rounded the corner and there ; was consternation. “Who dat?" one demanded in a frightened voice. “Me. Who dat?” was the trembling j reply. “Me. What yo‘ doin' hangin' roun- | Tom's hen'ouse dis time ob night?” “Nuffin’. Nuffin' 'tall. Whut yo' do in'?” i “Nuffin'. Ah ain't doin' nuffin', neider.” “Well, den, le's do hit togedder?” was the compromising suggestion. “And I have always been sorry that I felt caljed upon to interfere in so interesting a thing as doin' nuffin' to gedder,”' the representative concluded with a smile.
