    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

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

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.

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

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

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

HOW TO TREAT PIMPLES AND
BLACKHEADS
For pimples and blackheads the fol
; lowing is a most effective and eco
j nomical treatment: Gently smear the
affected parts «;th Cuticura Oint
| ment, on the end of the finger, but
do not rub. Wash off the Cuticura
: Ointment in five minutes with Cuti
! cura Soap and hot water and continue
bathing for some minutes. This treat
ment is best on rising and retiring.
At other times use Cuticura Soap
freely for the toilet and bath, to as
sist in preventing icfitimmation. irri
tation and clogging of the pores, the
common cause of pimples, blackheads,
redness and roughness, yellow, oily,
mothy and oiber unwholesome condi
tions of the skin.

Seasickness affects people different
ly, but it is doubtful if many accept it
in the spirit manifested by a certain
small sinner who. by reason of his
' poor health, had been subjected to
j various kinds- of unpleasant medical
treatment. Fairchild was taken out
j for an ocean sail, with direful consc
! quences. Up kept silence as long as
he could, but at last even his good
nature revolted. Between paroxysm?
he angrily addressed his mother.
“I told you never, never again to
give me medicine without telling me
about it. I'd Jots rather know when
I'm going to be sick!”
Cause for Gratulation.
“My doctor has put me on a diet."
“You seem to be rather proud.’’
“Yes. It's the kind of diet I can’t
afford to pay for."

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',

“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.
