District Attorney-' Heney of San Francisco, a 5-hort time after his wounding, discussed with a reporter at bis bedside cue of his statements about the 'San Francisco boodlers. "They expect me to retract that statement, do they?" he said, grimly. "Well, if I did retract it. my retraction would be like the Tombstone editor's. "He, you know, printed a story to the effect that a ilval editor's father had served 37 years in jail. Pressure was brought to bear on him. and Anally he agreed to retract that statement- In his retraction he said: "We find that we were mistaken when we said in last week's issue that the Clarion editor's papa had passed 37 summers in the penitentiary. All ef forts of friends to have his sentence commuted to life imprisonment failed, and the old man, as a matter of fact, was hung." AND THEY'VE GOT IT! "How do you like the new styles in neckwear, dear?" "A little ruff around the neck, love." Laundry work at home would ho much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness. It is usually neces eary to use so much starch that the beauty and finoness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys tbe appearance, but also affects the wear ing quality of the goods. This trou ble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much mere thinly because of its great er strength than other makes. Comparisons Nececsary. "We find repeatedly how imperfectly figures convey to the ordinary mind the magnitude cf objects," says the Welt Spiegel, "and how much more readily they are comprehended by comparison." To substantiate the as sertion a picture is produced of the cathedral at Cologne, which is 160 iseters in height, and next to it is placed a picture of the Zeppelin air ship, standing on end, reaching away beyond the middle of the highest sec tion of the steeple, and to within 2G meters of the apex. The picture also shows the Triumphal column at Ber lin. 01 meters in height, and next to it the airship Parsifal, 50 meters high, as it stands on end. Would Bar the Judiciary. Young ministers- sometimes say tome very irreverent things when first they get in harness, but seldom are bo broadly condemnatory as"tho young clergyman who was called upon to act as chaplain at the opening of a recent term of court down in Maine. After covering everything he could think of as appropriate to say from re ligion to law. he closed his prayer with the supplication: "And. finally, may we all be gathered in the happy land where there are no courts, no lawyers and no judges." Then they changed chaplains. The Sneeze Thnt Failed. A little maid of three has bees taught to say "Excuse me" when she sneezes. The ether day her mother had her attention attracted by a queer gasping noise, and, looking up quickly, saw the face of the little maid wrinkled uj) in a very distressing way. "You didn't say H." said the mother "I didn't do it." responded the little maid. Omaha Directory g) TAFT'S OEiTAL BOOHS S5 1517 Dssslas St.. GMSfiA. HEB.

The trouble is you aover know what they are going to do next:- TB'ey ar& like a mule "about J doing things that are not on the menu. If you want to go due south, tne air ship may decide to go north, and you may pull on all the levers, and turn the steering gear every way, and she goes north as though there was no other place to go. We waited for weeks to get a new supply of powder that makes the gas, and finally it came. We got the bag full and Pa and the cowboy with the lasso and two others, a Gsrman and a negro, got on the rigging, and about Sfty of us held on the drag rope, and Pa turned the no3e cf.the machine south towards where he .had located a mess of liens in a rocky gorge, and he was going to ride over the opening to their den, and let the cowboy lasso the old dog lion, and choke the wind out of him. and drag him to camp by the neck, but the airship just insisted on going north, and it took the whole crowd to held her, and Pa was up there en the bamboo frame talking profane, and giving orders. Ghe was up in the air about fifty fect. and Pa pointed out the place where the lions' den was to the south about a mile, and told us to drag the airship tail first across the veldt, to the other side of the den, and cut her loose, so we dragged the ship away around south cf the den, taking us all the forenoon, and we could see the lions on the rocks sunning themselves and probably talking over In lion lan guage what they would do lo us if we got fresh, and every little while they would cough like a case of pneumonia, and it made my hair raise, but Pa ' " " " " "There's Your Lions, About a Dozen of Them Captured Down in That Hole. Help Yourselves," Said Pa. was so cool he had to turn his collar up. After a few hours we got the ship in the right place, about a quarter of a mile south of the den. and Pa got the cowboy ready with his lasso, and the German ready to yell murder in his language, and the negro ready to throw overboard for the lions to eat. and Pa said, "Turn her loose." and we let go of the rope, and the ship sailed right straight for the den. and we all climbed upon a big rock to watch the proceedings. It was the most exciting moment of my life, except the time the fat women in the circus sat down in .Pa's lap, and crushed him beyond recognition, and they had to scrape him up with case knives. There was Pa at the wheel, his eyes staring ahead at the lions, all of the lion family having come out of the den to see the airship, and the dog lion, the head of the household, waving his tail and making the air fairly tremble with his roaring. Pretty soon the airship was right over the den, the lasso was thrown over the dog lion's neck, and drawn tight, and he coughed and strangled like a negro being lynched, and then he turned tail and ran down into the den in the rocks, with all the other Pulpit Imagery in Nova Scotia.

Jn Footsteps Kindly Encouragement for Young Men Working Their Way. Two young college men were indus- triously spending their summer vaca tion in the testing room of a large slectric manufacturing works, where 1 they were able to supplement their studies at the technical school by prac j tical application and experience. The I July afternoons -were .long, and the - '..2J' rj'i :'ilMAt' 'U lions after him, dragging the ship back- into the entrance- of the den, and closing the hole completely, and we all rushed up and tied the rope to trees, so the gas bag was right over the hole, tight as a drum, and Pa got off the frame and as Mr. Hagenbach came up in a perspiration. Pa said: "There's your lions, about a dozen of them, captured down in that hole; help yourselves," and Pa sat down on the ground like a man who had con quered the world, and was waiting for the applause. Mr. Hagenbach said that was all right so far as it had gone, but what he wanted was lions in cage3, read' to ship to Germany, and not down in a hole in the ground that might be as deep as a copper mine, with no elevator to. bring the lions to the surface. "Well," said Pa, as he lit a cigar, "there is a perfectly good dog Numidian lion, with a black mane, on the end of that lasso, and all you got to do is to pull him up, just as you would a muscalonge on a line, and when he comes to the surface after I have finished my cigar, I will hog tie him and have him ready for shipment quickern wink," and Pa yawned as though capturing wild lions was as easy for him as catching mice in a trap. So the crowd all got hold of the lasso and began to pull up, and of all the snarling and howling you ever heard, that beat the band. The old lion seemed to catch on to everything coming up, and all the other lions roared until the rocks on which we stood fairly trembled like there was an earthquake, but the old dog kept coming, and I felt as though some thing terrible was going o happen, and I began to get farther away. Pa knocked the ashes off his cigar and asked the cowboy how much more rope there was left, and was told about ten feet, so he told them to let up a minute until the driver drove the cage up to a point on the rock not far from where the lion would come out, and when the cage was ready and the door open, so the lion could sec a goat tied in the cage eating hay. Pa said to the men to give a few more jerks, and by gesh pretty soon the lion's head and neck came out of the hole, and he was the maddest looking ani mal I ever saw, and tlie men looked scared. ' The lion was bracing with his front feet, and using all kinds of language, but Pa was the coolest man in the bunch. "Now let him rest a minute," says Pa, "but hold the line taut," and Pa took out a bag of tobacco and a piece of paper and rolled a cigarette, and lit it, and we looked at Pa in ad miration for his nerve. After puffing his cigarette a little, and looking to see if the cage was entirely right, he ordered the men who were not pulling on the rope to line up in two line3 from the hole to the cage like the honorary pall bearers at a funeral, and told them not to move until the lion was in the cage, and when they were all in place. Pa said, IT MADE A A Chinaman of noble birth had been invited to dine at William's home. His mother was very anxious that the guest should not be made uncomfort able by the little chap's curiosity, so she took him aside and explained all about the yellow skin, long braid of hair and almond eyes of the Mongoli ans, and even showed him pictures of Chinese. She impressed upon him more than anything else the fact that the visitor was his father's friend and of the Great i work at times very -slack, so in one of these intervals of half-idleness the young men determined to turn to and give the laboratory in which they worked a thorough cleaning. It was at this juncture that the janitor hap pened along an old retainer whose years of usefulness had long since passed, but who still made a feeble, shiftless pretense of keeping busy, and was dndulgehtly' carried1 along oiftbe "Now jerk his head" plumb, off," and the crowd pulled and the lion came out of the -hole -mad and frothing at the mouth. Pa stepped to one side andigave the lion.m swift f kick In the ham", and. the king of beasts put his tall between his legs and' started for the hearse cage,, and Pa said: "Get in there, you measly cur dog," and Pa followed him, kicking him every jump, until the big Hon rushed into the cage and laid down, so completely conquered that he bellowed pitifully ' : 5 "Get in 'There, You Measly Cur Dog," Said Pa, Kicking the Big Lion at Every Jump. when the goat butted him off of the hay, and Pa closed the door, and locked it and turned to Mr. Hagenbach and asked: "How many of these ver min do you want?" and he said: "Now that we were about it we had better get the whole bunch." Pa said all right, he was there after lions, and he wanted to get the limit, so they signaled the camp for more cages, and Pa said we had better have lunch right there on the rock beside the air ship in the shade, while he prepared to catch the rest of the lions. Pa was attaching a long rubber hose to the gas bag, and as he got it fas tened and reeled about fifty feet of the hose down in the hole, Mr. Ha genbach said: "Say, old man, I don't want to kick on any of your new in ventions, but what are you going to do now?" and Pa said, as he turned a faucet in the gas bag and let the gas into Ae hose, "Didn't you ever drown gophers out of a hole by pouring water in, until the gophers came to the top strangling, and you put them in a shot bag and let them chew your fingers? Well, I am going to drown out big gophers with gas, and in about 15 minutes after we have had lunch you will see the dammest procession of sneezing lions come up out of that hole that ever were in captivity, and I want all of you brave ducks to hold the bags over the hole, and when you get a Hon in a bag tie the bag and roll the beast over the rock, see?" Well, they got the gunny sacks ready and after we had lunch and the gas was filling the hole good and plenty, there was a lot of sneezing and roaring down the hole, and Pa said the medicine was working all right, and pretty soon Pa turned off the gas and unscrewed the hose, and loosened the ropes on the airship so she sailed off acrdss the veldt for a block or so, and then the trouble be gan. First a big she lion came up with a mess of cubs, and they held the bag all right, but she went right through it like a bullet through cheese, and then there was an explosion away down in the bowels of the earth, from the toe nails of some unmanicured lion striking fire on a flint stone, and fire began to pour out of the hole, and about nine singed lions of all sizes came up out of the hole scared to death, and the smell of burned bait was awful. The lious began to cuff the men and they stampeded down the rocks, leav ing Pa and two or three at us alone. Pa and I seized a couple of the baby lions and started to run for camp, and the lions took after us, and chased us awhile, until Pa got out of wind, when we climbed trees with the cubs, and the lions rolled in the grass to put out the fire, and then they took to the jungle, and Pa said when Roose velt got to Africa and shot a few singed lions, he would think it was a new kind of least. Pa says he is going to move a cage into the gorilla country, and call the gorillas around him. learn their lan guage, get their confidence, and event ually reform them and bring them to realize that they are endowed with certain inalienable rights, and teach them white man's customs, and Pa will do it or die trying, but I don't like the idea as it seems dangerous to Pa. Say, those gorillas are bigger than John L. Sullivan, and they hug like bears. Gee, but I want to see gorillas hanging by their tails on trees, and Pa says I may go with him. (Copyright. 1S0S, by W.

WHAT SPRING Will BRING Materials and Colors in Which tht Styftt tff 1909 Art to Be Displayed Lustrous Fabrics IsihcDictHMtfFasMtii. - " I Uai E VERY one who gives the matter any thought must know that dress goods are manufactured a year and six months at least ahead of their selling. It takes time to manufac ture and more time for buyers to ex amine and purchase stocks, and stocks must be' laid in before a sea son opens. All of next spring's dress goods are now manufactured and the buyers have purchased or are now pur chasing. Materials of gowns-are some thing Dame Fashion cannot alter at short notice, as she does other thnigs. The spring fabrics will be lustrous, and it is, therefore, to be presumed that the various mohairs will be large ly worn, and as late as next autumn as well. In tussahs there is a lustrous finish that promises to be smart. All the indications point to a revival of linens for next summer's wear. Last summer comparatively few linen frocks were seen. Linen, while cool, musses with great rapidity and has to be pressed continually in order to pre serve any degree of freshness. The houses making up garments for smart shops dealing in ready-made garments of exclusive design are or dering linens in quantities for one piece frocks, and French linens and others are- all in demand. Linens of rough weave, and especial ly those of the Shantung order, are being made up, and the open mesh weaves and crash also promise to be actively' in the field for favor. A new fabric called Himalaya cloth, closely resembling the genuine Shan tung, is a very late comer in the field of gown materials. It has a double mercerization, first in the yarn and later in the piece, and It has the real snub yarn producing the small knots so characteristic of the Shantung. This cloth maj- be washed and ironed any number of times, but the knots j COME BACK TO OTTOMAN SILK. Fabric cf Long Ago Once More Taken Up by Fashion. Gowns of the old-fashioned ottoman silk are seen this winter at dinners and occasionally in the street. Fifteen years ago, whether masquerading un der the name of Bengaline silk, poplin or of ottoman, it was a preferred foundation for costly gowns. One woman at a dinner in New York last week wore a beautiful robe of otto man in dull gray trimmed with metal lic braiding in gray and bronze. The revived fashion has sr-read to other cities; indeed it has struck the fam ilies of our Washington administra tors. Mrs. Roosevelt has a walking gown of ottoman silk in green with trimmings of a darker shade cf velvet. But the handsomest ottoman gown in that city is Mrs. Fairbanks'. It is London smoke colored and trimmed with black silk embroidery of palm leaf design. Tiie skirt is in the di rectoire style, with a modified waist. Embroidery and metal braid are used on the bodice and long coat. Xever arrange your hair without a hand glass. Remember that the side and back view of a coifTure is as im portant as the front.

Supposing the tray to be an ordinary round one. the proper arrangement is this: Spread a snowy doily on the tray, lay a plate in the middle of the side nearest you, with the knife and spoons on the right, the fork on the left, the water glass and the individual butrer dibli on the right front, and the tiny coffee pot, sugar and creamer to the right of the spoons. The main dish should then be set squarely in front of the plate, and the other dishes ranged around it with some semblance of order. If silver or nickel dishes cannot be had for the soup and other hot foods, use hot china, for lukewarm viands are notalwayspalatableeven to the hearty. Then, too, unharmonious colors in the china and strongly scented flowers will spoil a meal for some sick people, as will a clattering of dishes and mussy looking focd. When it cdmes to the food itself, care must be taken that it contains enough concentrated nourishment to counterbalance the slender appetite, as well as the usual degree of savoriness. Where" there is not strength to masti cate the food, rich broths will be greatly relished. COLLAR IN FORM OF RUFF. Design Known as "Angel" Is a Most Effective Style. Some new collars are made of a wide piece of delicately colored silk, satin or velvet shirred at top, center and bottom and faced with a pale tint ed satin, which also forms a ruff about the throat. They fasten at the back beneath enormously wide ribbon bows of the ruff-facing color tied in two loops that extend winglike from the throat, while .two long, tassel-finished ends are drawn toward the front, tacked directly beneath the chin and thence allowed to fall over the blouse front. "Angel" collars designed sole ly for the house are of white satin or messaline with silver-faced edges and wide silver ribbon or wired tulle bows with silver tassel-finished ends. They are immensely effective with a rather simple white frock or as a re lief to one all of black. Quickly Adjusted Shields. A girl who has theories on the evils of ylnned shields will not use the are still there. It comes in all colors and will undoubtedly prove a godsend to those who know good materials. It can be used for anything from petti coats to gowns and dust coats. Crinkley crepes on the order of the Japanese crepes, which, by the way, are made in France, will be offered, and these are manufactured not only in 'plain but in figured pieces, the fig ures ranging from small to large, chiefly in floral patterns in rosebuds, wisteria and other floral patterns. In wash poplins a new product is a double bordered sort, the goods being 48 inches broad, with a border at each edge. In these fabrics the body is a plain poplin, and the borders, so far, are in plain ribbon types, the rib bons being bands of graduated widths. In January many new models in one piece robes, in silks, linens and cotton and other goods suited to spring and summer wear, will be shown. Every thing points to the one-piece frock for the coming spring and summer. In neckwear all styles will be seen and the Dutch neck, the high-boned stock, 'the turnover linen collars, in Eton and Dutch styles, and also the Piccadilly and the muffled stock will be worn. It will be rather a matter of taste and of becomingness, or what the woman thinks becoming, to her will govern the selection. The character of the gown and its place of wearing also will be consid ered. But when warm weather comes no end of charming neck dressings will be seon, and every woman will have no end of varying fashions to choose from. A faint scent of violets is imparted to handkerchiefs by adding a small piece of orris root to the water in which they are boiled. IN fXjUE The little girl of to-day may wear just as much fur as her mother, in proportion to her size. Light gold thread is used as an add ed touch upon lace in some of the smartest evening gowns. The eld-fashioned prunelle and prune-colored cloth has made its ap pearance In directoire suits. Long earrings of brilliant cut jet are the fashion of the moment for wear with elaborate gowns. For the everyday suits of children there is no more satisfactory material than dark blue wool serge. In evening gowns there is a definite preference for beads instead of spangles for. glittering decorations. There is now an absolute ban upon loose and wrinkled gloves; they must be tight, neat, and closely buttoned. Black hats are, as always, good style, and most striking and success ful hats of black and white are seen.

Among all the other new earrings that appear comes the old-fashioned loop of gold, known as the gipsy ear ring. It was offered by the leading shops during the holiday season, and women arc already wearing them in the day as well as the evening. The loops have no gems set in them.

In this way HI health is often fas tened upon children. A Ga. lady says: "I had been allowed to drink coffeo ever since I could remember, but even as a child I had a weak stomach, which frequently refused to retain food. "The taste of coffee was in my mouth all the time and was, as I found out later, the cause of the stomach re belling against food. "I now see that it was only from fol lowing the example of my elders that I formed and continued the miserable habit of drinking coffee. My digestion remained poor, nerves unstrung, fre quent headache, and yet I did not sus pect the true cause. "Another trouble was a bad, muddy complexion for which I spent time and money for creams, massaging, etc., without any results. "After I was married I was asked to try Postum, and would you believe It. I, an old coffee toper, took to Postum from the very first. We made it right according to directions on the pkg.. and it had a most delicate flavor, and I at once quit coffee, with the happiest results.
