When lined with albatross they are very
warm and comfortable, and the fad Is
likely to be taken up even by many women
who will not adopt the extreme sheath

herself a pair of black satin knickerbock

using a delightful pair of paste knee buck

POWER OF MOTHERLY LOVE
It OTervrhrlms Wet Opinions or
Avonrd Views When It As
serts Itself.
Two young matrons with babies on their
laps were coming down town on a Farnam
street car. They looked like the most
amiable women, but they were angry about
something.
"1 just think It's a shame," said one with
lips compressed Indignantly.
"Well, so do I," said the other.
"There ought to be a law against such
things," said the first.
"Why, Isn't there a law'for such cases."
ventured the other. "Seems to me John
was saying something abodt libel or
something like that.1
"I don't know whether that would fit the
case," said the first doubtfully. She un
folded copy of the paper and looked at
an advertisement, it reaa:
Wanted To adopt healthy baby boy. 1 to
R weeks old; must have dara eyes ana nair
Address. V, 202, care Bee.
The two babies In their mothers' laps
cooed and gurgled happily unconscious of
the calumny which was agitating their
proud mothers. For both of the babies
were decided blonds with blue eyes and
light hair. It was easy to see from their
appearance and from all the little frills
and things, they were the apples of their
respective mothers' eyes Bnd the Idols of
their hearts. '
" 'Must have dark hair and eyes," " quoted
one of the mothers scornfully, after a
moment's study of the advertisement. "The
Idea. Why I can't see why anyone would
choose such a baby when she could get
a dear, sweet, little cherub with blue eyes
and light hair."
And the mother picked up her little
cherub and smothered It with kisses.
"Well, I don't either," said the second.
And she picked up her little cherub and
smothered It with kisses.
They were silent for a time, each gazing,
charmed, at her own child. Suddenly the
second young mother said:
"Oh!" '
"What?" Inquired the first.
"Why, maybe the people that put that
advertisement In the paper want to adopt
a a colored baby."
"Dear me, I never thought of that," said
the first. "That must be It. That Is It.
Well, It's all right then. I Just knew no
one could deliberately want a baby with
dark hair and eyes when she could have a
dear, sweet, little, blond cherub."
And she-embraced her child more tenderly
than ever.
"Well, so did I," added the other.
And she also embraced her child with
Increased tenderness.
Attraetlons In Leather.
The leather scrap basket Is new 'this seaT
son. ' i is conical in shape and about a
foot and a half high. The holiday season
has presented It as an accessory for the
leather finished writing sets.
Leather screp baskets come in all the
popular colors of leather used In the writ
ing sets. Red, purple, green and black
predominate. The leather covering Is ap
plied In severely simple fashion. The gen
eral plainness Is relieved by a big applied
monogram In highly burnished brass or
nickel.
Another novelty is a leather tool box
fitted with various things useful about the
house, and, like the basket, offered as an
accessory for the leather writing table out
fit. Among the newest ' leather photograph
frames are those made for the large photo
graphs now so popular. They are abso
lutely severe In finish. The leather show
ing about the picture is not more than an
Inch and a quarter wide.
The dog1 satchel Is still enough of a nov
elty to attract attention. A small crowd
gathered about the steps of a restaurant
the other day for no other reason than that
a hand satchel In the hand of a footman
was suddenly opened at the side to permit
a fluffy fairy dog to spring forth to meet
Its mistress coming from the restaarant.
The fairy dog was less favored than a
small monkey, which, enclosed In one of
these satchels, Actually lunched with Its
mistress In a hotl dining room.

Improvements Go Ahead.
. The decrease--la ihe ' earnings ' of the
Southern Pacific already equals 1 per cent
011 the common stock and .6 per cent on the
Union Pacific, althp-pgh the I'nlon Paclfl'c
report Is Considered better' In many re
spects than that of the Southern Pacific.
The statements of both roads show tho
business lias beerti,4-xoollerrt, the Southern
Pacific Increase lnar-osa. being about $7,000,
000 for the1 four tiiontfts or 17. pet1 cent,
while the Union Pacific's gain Is over $3,
000,000, or 11.7 per cc'nf.i'.:
The statements are taken to Indicate that
In spite of any business depression which
may be thought to be in sight, tho Harri
man lines are not Stopping In the expense
of keeping everything In tip top shape.
Lncln Cnt-Off Gives Trouble.
The Harriman lines are finding It neces
sary to continue to expend large sums In
protecting the embankment of the Lucln
cut-off. The high water of the lake and
the heavy winds have been threatening
the embankment, and while the work of
rlprapplng these sixteen miles has been
progressing satisfactorily It Is thought) the
Southern Pacific will have to continue to
dump rock In all winter.
To resist the action of the water huge
rocks weighing tons each are being de
posited and the embankment widened and
a double track Installed from the tress I e
at the west end to the lakeside. The rails
are thirty feet higher than the present
level of the water and yet the water
splashes over them and the salt water
damages the steel and cuts the insulation
on the block system.

There were three startling developments
In tho shopping districts when tho stores

Husbands began to accompany their wives
on shopping tours.

Now the husbands are not going home
to dinner, but they are to meet their, wives

kindly provided reception and rest rooms,
known now aa the "Isle of Wives," where
husbands may meet their helpmates, and
help them a little, not only as an evidence
of good faith, but to supply the 'cashiers'
checks.

vacation the evening may be spent at the
vaudeville shows In the windows.
Sometime between midnight and morning
the asbestos curtain goes down in the shop
windows and ft new bill appears on the
board the next day, playing matinee and
evening.
In the shop windows of Omaha may be
socn every thing from "Mary, the Sowing
Machino Girl," to "Widow In Name Only,"
while for those who Just iove a "church
play" a wedding scene Is shown, with a
full vested choir of dolls, a bride who
sure looks like a divorcee, a groom who
would stutter If he was wound up, brides
maids with tears in their eyes as they
congratulate the -bride on her happiness
and a stern rector with pockets which
would hold any sln-d cashier's check.

Then theru Is a girl In one window all

ANOTHER GOOD STORY FOR HEORASKAHS
A Nebraska Book Serves as Christmas Gift to the Entire
Membership of the United States Senate.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 9. Special Dispatch to the Lincoln, Neb., Journal.
Senator Hurkett today presented Vice President Fairbanks and the ninety members.
it the senate with a copy of a book written by Richard L. Metcalfe, entitled "Of
Such Is the Kingdom." He addressed the following letter to each recipient: "Pleaso
accept with my compliments this little volume. 'Of Much Is the Kingdom,' by Richard
L. Metcalfe. Its stories are so sweet and wholesome that I bcllevo you will be
glad to have read it. The author Is a Nehraskan and has written many good
things, but I think this has especial merit and Is entitled to a place among tho
choice books of human interest. , -
riOK lis WABHIHOTOK, S. C, BiXD.
Senator Rurkett, who hails from Mr. Bryan's town, in Nebraska, although lie '
1m not of the Peerless leader's political faith, is a patron of literature, particularly
tin? Nebraska brand. He is hIso fond of taking time by the forelock, wherefore,
ho yesterday sent to each and every one of his fellow solons a Christmas present.
The gift In each case was the latest literary product of Nebraska, a very dainty '
little volume of stories of children, grouped under th title "Of Such Is tho :
Kingdom," written by Mr. Richard L. Metcalfe, Hnd Illustrated by Mr. Franklin
Booth, two talented sons of the senator's state. It was published by the Wood-,
i u f f -Col I in Press of Lincoln, and Is, aside from Its excellent literary and artlstlo
qualities, as pretty a little book from the printers and binders standpoint as one
could wish to see.
"That's one of the finest little volumes I ever saw," said Senator Burkett aa
he handed one of the volumes to a friend. "Nebraska's proud, of it and so am I."
riOM THE MEW TOBK TIMES.
Senator Burkett, who dominates the republican muchinery In Nebraska, laid
hi HIM-If liable to some raillery today by presenting to every senator a handsome I
book of short stories, entitled "Of Such Is the Kingdom," tho author of which Is
Richard L. Metcalfe, editor In chl-f of William Jennings Bryan's Commoner.
Some of his republican colleagues were Inquiring If his gift had any political
significance. They did not fall to express their appreciation, however. New York
Times. - . .
JUST WXI11 XT IM WEEDED.
Probably the only "political significance" attached to Senator Rurkett's llttlo
gift 1m the teHtimony his giving It bears to the fact that the asperities of partisan
politics are yielding to the amenities. It signifies, in a word, that the spirit of
love and brotherhood which breathes from every line of Mr. Metcalfe's book is
coming more and more to bo the spirit of the people among whom Mr. Metcalfe
Uvea. .
Senator Rurkett could have racked Ills brain In vain to find the inspiration
for a happier gift for United States senators than "Of Such Is the Kingdom."
Mr. Metcalfe's book will make a gentler, better, truer man of Its every reader.
And it Is now in the hands, remember, of Senator Foraker, Senator Aldrlch, Tom
Carter and Guggenheimer! It's an Inspiring thought. Kdltorlal In Omaha World
