Mayor Van Winkle of Oklahoma
City has ordered all the gambling
places in that city closed. The gamb-
lers had overreached their bounds
and demanded from political candi-
dates their promise of exemption
from prosecution in case of election.
Upon hearing this the mayor took a
decided stand anil ordered their
places closed. Mr. VanWInkle says
•hey must not again open during his
administration.
The affairs of the Shawnee Light

"I might swim for it,” suggested
Tucker with the accent of one wno
knows the impracticability of what ne
suggests.
"You might fly for it," retorted Nan
Carroll, "for all the good it would do.
You should have tied the boat.”
"You forgot,” he pleaded, "that I
only came last night and have not
yet had opportunity to become famil-
iar with the tide here. How was I
to know that you had a regular Bay
of Fuudy tide here?"
“If you knew as much about geo-
graphy as you do about some things,
she hinted darkly, "you would know
that this is the Bay of Fundy tide. It
doesn't come In as a tidal wave, but it
rises as high.”
He glanced ruefully at the canoe
fast disappearing on the tide, and
scanned the shore to see if it offered
any hope. Apparently they were as
thoroughly lost as though they were
on an island in the Pacific instead of
three miles from a summer resort. It
was Tucker’s first experience with a
land where they built steamship
docks two Rtories high because of the
fall of the tide from the Bay of Fundy,
and he had supposed that when ne
had drawn the canoe well up on the
shelving bank the long rope in the
bow could not possibly be needed.
He threw himself down beside her.
"Nan, dear," he cried. "Don’t take
It so to heart. It will come out all
right if I have to swim over to the
mainland and Bteal a boat.”
She rose in all her five feet five of
injured dignity. "I do not see, Mr.
Tuckor,” she said coldly, "that the
situation should permit the levity you
assume. It may be all right for you,
but a woman’s fair name—” Her sob-
bing broke forth afresh at the thought
of what might be said.
"What’s the use of taking on so?”
he demanded. “You told me last win-
ter that at the end of the seasqn you
thought—”
"Do you suppose I thought then
| that I’d think what I think now?”
; she cried hysterically. "Do you sup-
j pose that I imagined that you would
abduct me to a dessert Island to force
j ine to marry you? Never."
Vor want of a better occupation he
searched along the shore for clams,
finding a few, but deciding after one
j taste that it would be hotter to look
for berries. It was too late for ber-
ries apparently, and there was an-
other pause and reflection. He had

Nan Carroll would not marry him.
when that changealde young woman
plumped herself down upon the moss
beside him.
"Why don’t you talk?” she asked
cheerfully. "It's awfully lonesome
around here.”
Tucker gasped, but for a moment
he did not dare speak. When he
found words It was not of casual af-
fairs he spoke, not of himself nor of
their predicament, and presently they
were chatting as liierrily as though
there had been none of the stormy
scenes of the afternoon.
They were still talking when of a
sudden they heard footsteps behind
them and they sprang to their foot.
Just behind them a tall, clerical
"I am sorry, Mrs. Crusoe,” he said,
falling in with her humor. "I am the
Rev. Philip Hardman of Boston, sum-
mering on this island with my fam-
ily."
Nan gasped. "Why didn't you think
of looking to see if there was any
one living there?” she demanded of
Dave.
"You told me it was deserted,” he
said defensively, “and 1 supposed you
knew. "I only came last night,” he
added in explanation to the clergy-

man. “Mrs. Crusoe forgot to tell me
about the tide and the boat floated
away.”
“Come over and have tea,” suggest-
ed the clergyman hospitably, “and I
have a boat that will take you over
to the hotel.”
He strode off, leading the way, and
Nan and Dave followed. Once or
twice she hummed softly to herself
and Dave could have sworn it was the
wedding music from ’’Lohengrin.” At
last, as he was helping her over a
rock which barred her path, she held
his hand in hers as she lightly drop-
ped beside him.
“Dave,” she whispered, "didn’t he
say he was a clergyman?”
Dave nodded. ’The Rev. Philip

"Take William Waldorf Astor, for

For an hour this man remained in
the cafe and during that hour the oc-

"Pierpont Morgan askod John S.

"Prince Henry sat on my right, and

Finally the man withdrew. After
he had gone a reporter asked the head
waiter who on earth he was.
"Why,” the head waiter answered,
"that is Captain Dash of the liner

at the multitude of distinguished

BEGGAR KNOWS HIS BUSINESS
Philadelphia Mendicant a Credit to
His Profession.
One of the professional beggars
whose “lay” is along Broad street
from Chestnut to South has evolved
a new style of approach which is
bringing him in large returns. He
studies the feet of passers-by, and
when he sees a man coming along in
shined, or in shoes that have been
new shoes that have been recently
shined, he takes a stand directly in
the way of his intended victim and
stares hardly at those same shoes.
Of course the pedestrian stops short
and looks down at his feet to see what
is the matter with them. Then the
beggar remarks, as if to himself, bui
in a tone which you may wager the
victim hears well enough:
"My! I wisht I had a pair of shoos
as good as them is.”
Thus the beggar has accomplished
two things. He has forced the pedes-
trian to stop and pay attention which
is half of the professional beggar’s
game in every case, and he has se-
cured a fine introduction for a
"touch.” There is usually a nickel
in it, at any rate, and sometimes
there is a pair of shoes, which can
be conveniently pawned.
For, of course, in this particular
beggar’s role there is no use save for
the very worst shoes imaginable.

Coats and Walking Skirts.
The habit coat which will accom-
pany the walking skirt bids fair to be
plain, and the sleeves, like those in
most garments, will be moderate. An
effective model of light weight mus-
tard brown cloth is trimmed with pas-
sementerie braid. The skirt is hung in
small box plaits, with the exception of
the front breadth, and attached just
about the knees with little clusters of
braid loops. The bottom of the skirt
is trimmed with’ rather an elaborate
pattern done in the braid, but at >his
point the plaits are left free. The
bolero has reversible fronts faced
with silk in the same Ions and em-
broidered with the passementerie, the
coat fastening with passementerie
loops and buttons. The sleeves are
gathered into the cuff by means of a
row of small box plaits taken in the
material half way between the shoul-
der and elbow. The cuff about the
hand is trimmed with passementerie.
Shoe Lore.
Slippers run to gayety and high
heels. Some of the new ones have
eight straps. *
Cuban heels are more fashionable
for walking than French heels.
Many women are wearing a plain-
vamped shoe without a tip.
Dull kids will be more fashionable
this season than for some time.
Patent leather is the thing for dress
occasions, but is not durable for hard
wear.
It seems true that toes are becom-
ing more pointed than for several
years past. x
In high dress shoes cloth uppers
are in good taste.
Bronze slippers, buttoned with a
si rap across the Instep and worked
with bronze heads, are modish.
As for stockings, extreme open-stitch |
styles are demode, and a fine but plain
woven hose is the correct thing.
and again by tortoise-shell sots mount

travagance and fashion.
Some people say it is the interest
we feel in the Japanese at this mo-
ment that has brought back the ivory
toilet sets into favor, but others de-
clare it is simply the moment for
ivory. A jeweler says that there is
another cause, and that is that ivory
is not quite so expensive as it was. It
is being used either plain or carved,
and sometimes delicately colored with
art nouveau tints and designs.
Blouse or Shirt Waist.
Plain shirt waists always are in de-
mand and always fill a need. This one
shows the new sleeves that are full at
inches wide, 7 yards 44 inches wide,
box plait at the center front. The
model is made of Russian blue Sicil-
ian mohair, stitched with corticelli
silk, and is worn with a licit and tie
of black taffeta. All waisting mate-
rials are, however, appropriate, the
many mercerized cottons, as wrell as
wool and silk.
The waist consists of the fitted lin-
ing, which is optional, fronts and back,

Why the Preacher Objected.
A story of an eccentric minister is
too good for the “rasure of oblivion.”
One Sunday lie caused some surprise
by declaring that he did not in the
least object to people sleeping while
he was preaching.
A few minutes later he and his
hearers were disturbed by the loud
snoring of a man just below the pul-
pit.
"Give him a tap on the head,” said
the minister.
This was done, ineffectually.
“Give him another," same the order
again.
Still the man slumbered; but nt
length, by dint of much tapping and
shaking, he was recalled into abashed
consciousness.
“You are making a wretched noise,”
roared the minister, leaning over the
pulpit edge. "I don’t mind your sleep-
ing, but you are preventing other peo-
ple from sleeping!”

After that he was mistaken for a
pickpocket and arreated.”
"That must have made him furious."
"But wait until the worst comes.
They found the freak pictures, and

pect had a pocketful of family photo-
graphs.’ "—New York Telegraph.

Joy of the Boudoir.
One woman who uses a costumer in
her room says that it is the joy of her
life. A costumer always needs expla-
nation, for no one is quite sure of It
by its proper name. It is the clothes
hanger with a central pole and prongs
of one kind or another at the top. The
woman who uses them says that she
keeps her outdoor wraps, which she
is constantly using, on the costumer,
has them always at hand, and does
not have a remorseful conscience be-
cause they are not tucked away in the
closet. Anything she wishes to have
conveniently at hand she puts on the
costumer, including the..clothes which
sue removes when she retires at
night. One of these in the bent wood
costs $0. It can be finished in enamel
to match chamber sets if desired.

Preached Word Seventy-Five Years.
Rev. William May, probably the old-
est Methodist preacher in Kentucky,
if not in the country, is dead at his
home in Perryville. Mr. May was {IS
years old and had been preaching for
seventy-five years, but during that
time had never accepted a cent of
money for his services. He had, it
is said, married 3,000 couples, baptized
5,000 persons and officiated at 5,000
funerals. He was a great horseback
rider, using Ills steed for traveling
over ills district, hut had never been
on a train, and in order to make a liv-
ing conducted a farm, with which he
was eminently successful.
The back is plain across the shoul-
ders, drawn down in gathers at the
waist line, but the fronts are gath
eretl at their upper edges, also, sc
forming becoming folds. The sleeves
are in shirt style, gathered into
straight cuffs, and at the neck is a
regulation stock.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is 3% yards 21
inches wide, 3>A yards 27 inches wide,
or 2 yards 44 inches wide.
Novelty From Paris.
“Tilleul” is the name Parisians ap-
ply to the greenish yellow or yellow-
ish pale green called after the linden
tree. It is seen in the smart brocades
which imitate old-fashioned colors,
chiefly seen now in scraps of hoarded
satin or brocaded velvet, or in some
hereditary garment handed down by a
long-pedigreed colonial dame. One
cannot say tilleul is strictly becoming
to the majority of women, but a pro-
nounced brunette, with a clear, high
color, may safely venture upon wear-
ing this fashionable new shade near
her face without the aid of a lace
assistance. It is seen in the narrow
waistcoats of dressy broadcloth cos-
tumes.
About Muffs.
Muffs are a very important item in
the fashionable girl’s winter outfit;
and the new ones are just as quaint
and cld-timey as are the smart effects
they accompany. There are the fa-
miliar flat pouch-shape, the round pil-
low, bigger than ever; and nowadays
they term the Victorian what used to
be called the granny muff.
A very fascinating novelty combines
a handbag and muff; the bag is
mounted invisibly in the top of the
muff, just a jeweled clasp peeping out
to indicate its whereabouts. Others in
I the same style show merely a purse,
j hut either form is in the height of
fashion.
Premiums for Live Stock.
The Lewis and Clark exposition at
Portland. Ore., hus voted 540.000 for
premiums for a big livestock display.
Railroad Uses Briquettes.
Ton per cent, of the fuel of the
Paris, Lyons & Mediterranean rail-
way consists of coal briquettes mado
from the slack and dust of the com-
pany's mines. The engineers find that
they can raise steam more quickly
with briquettes than without them.
sleeves are the new ones that are full
at the shoulders and are finished with

The coat is made with front, back
and under arm gores and is finished at
the neck with a simple roll-over col-

ed into bands that are concealed by
the cuffs. The belt is adjusted over
the back and fronts to the center

ings left for the purpose and is closed

Ivory in Fashion Again.
Ivory toilet sets have once more
come Into fashion after years of neg-
lect, during which time silver-backed
brushes have been in vogue, which
have been superseded by gold ones,
Beautiful Irish Lace.
The newest thing in Irish lace
might better be called French-Irlsh. It
has the beauty of the work of Irish
crochet, treated after the wonderful
fancies of the French. It's a wonderful
combination. For the Irish work only
a few patterns—the shamrock predom-
inating—and make them over and
over; while Paris indulges in marvel-
ous, daring flights, and illumines ev-
erything she touches with radiant
changes.
Cloth Collars.
One sees a few cloth collars in the
shops, handsomely embroidered by
hand and applied with curious little
motifs. They come in white, black
and a few colors, and make a lovely
acessory to the cloth gown of similar
shade.
Deeper than these is a wnite cloth
collar that reaches the proportion of
a shoulder cape, embroidered with
handsome padded Easter lilies.
A New Fad in Ties.

vas golf and tennis oxfords are a late
