J. Policeman McCormick Solves Problem of Handling Case—Free Gentry by Putting Them to Work Cleaning Streets. Burlington, N. J.—All hail Police man Joseph McCormick! The feats of Horatius, who kept the bridge and other heroes of ancient history are naught compared to the brave deed he accomplished and, to think of it, single-handed, too. What did Officer McCormick do to earn all this praise? Why, he tackled the tramp problem single-handed and now tramps tramping through Jersey are heard singing "Gee, But This Is a· Lonesome Town" as they steer away from the city of Burlington. The town has been worried by tramps for the past few months. They would apply to the lodging house con ducted by the city, obtain a hearty meal, a good bed and then, with a courteous "Thank you," leave the place next morning. Many were caught "ringing"—that is, trying to return the same evening and work the stunt all over again. Then McCormick took affairs in hand. Seeing the matter required careful thought he asked for a two-weeks' va cation, that he might not be disturbed in righting a municipal wrong. The chief of police was aghast when McCormick made his request, as his absence would deplete the force and the other policemen in the town would nave aouDie pairoi amy 10 ao. out granted the request. In a few days he was back on the job, a smile of satisfaction spread over his countenance. The tramp problem was solved. Tramps who applied for lodging and supper were surprised at the kind way in which they were received. Never in all their tramp lives had they been escorted to the supper table with such grace. Then came a cot and then breakfast in the morning. Immediately after their morning re past they were conducted to the city's dirtiest streets, given a broom and told to sweep. One who rebelled was immediately given ten days in the city jail. The rest decided that discretion was the better part of valor. Tha - tale spread. Every tramp in the state soon heard of the methods of Burlington, in treating the tramp problem. Needless to say the town is free from tramps for the first time in many years. FINES SEVEN MEN $210,000,000. Georgia Court Outctoes Landis, Com promising at $1 Each. Augusta, Ga.—"I'll go Judge Landis one better and make the fine $30,000, 000," said Recorder Picquet in impos ing sentence upon seven negroes con victed of violating the health ordi nance in allowing garbage »» accumu late on their premises. The flee of |30, Alaska9s Mineral Resources Enthusiastic Resident of Territory Talks of Its Wealth. Washington.—Discussing the great mineral resources, Donald A. McKen zie of Cordova Bay, Alaska, said that those whose familiarity with the min eral resources of Alaska gives them a righi to an opinion believe that there is a large field for mining which can only be developed by the construc tion of a railroad from the Pacific to the Yukon basin. "The time will come," said the mine operator, "when we will have several trunk lines, with many branches, mak ing the mineral-bearing parte of the territory accessible at all times. Τ schemes may appear visionary, out when we reflect that Alaska, with its primitive system of transportation has already added to the world's wealth to the extent of over $150,000,000 there seems to be some justification for this opinion. "The Klondike gold fields now prft duce about $10,000,000 worth of gold Ρ — - annually, and are, of course, in Cana dian territory. The Fairbanks district is, from the standpoint of production, the most important of the inland dis tricts, with an annual output of about $9,000,000. Gold gravels lie at a con siderable depth, varying from 20 to 300 feet ' "Though the coal fields of Alaska lie only 25 miles from the coast, the Pacific seaboard offers no good har bors. Plans are on foot for the con struction of breakwaters near Katalia, which it is proposed to connect by railroad with the coal fields. Another plan Is to construct a line from Cor dova bay, which means 100 miles of track. The coal of Alaska is higher in fuel value than any west of the Rocky mountains. The Oldest Bridge. The Sulpiclan bridge, at Rome, is the oldest in history. It is made of wood, and was erected in the seventh century. It has been twice rebuilt, but is In ruins at the present day. SWAM IN LAKE AT FOUR A. M. To Win an Alaskan's Bet Four Chica· goans Took a Midwinter Plunge. Chicago.—Four Chlca^ans are suf fering from colds and chilblains con tracted by a swim in the icy waters of the lake at four a. m. It all came about through a taunt of Julius Sing er of Alaska. "You are smooth here in Chicago," he said, "but we've got it on you in nerve. Why, up there we often go swimming through holes in the ice. You'd never dare do that" State Senator McCarthy offered to bet $100 that the crowd then present was daring enough to take a plunge In Lake Michigan, if Mr. Singer would accompany them. "I'll do better than that," answered the Alaskan. "I'll furnish a motor car to take us to the beach, and bring along a lot of bath rubbers, towels and alcohol. And I'll take the bet" He lost James: To know one thing thorougly would be to know the univers» 1% ■ 000,000 was imposed upon each of the defendants, a total of $210,000,000. Appreciating their inability to pay any such fine—figures within them selves absolutely beyond their compre hension—the negroes sank to the bench with groans and staring eyes. They feared that failure to meet the court's demands in the coin of the realm meant life servitude in the peni tentiary. When the uproarious laughter roused by the announcement of the court's decision had subsided, Re corder Picquet suspended the sen tences upon condition that each of the defendants deposit one dollar with the clerk. The ordinance under which the sen tence was imposed provides that the court "may impose any fine he ftpps fit." This Barn Grows Higher. Canistota, S. D.—A few years ago a farmer near Goliad built a stall barn, using green willow posts at the corner and all along the sides. After a year had passed he saw that, whereas he had put the floor on the ground, It was then three feet above the soil. The willow posts, instead of being dead, were very muéh alive. In their upward move they had carried the barn along. Last year the barn was on stilts nine feet high, and the farmer put in a new floor and surrounded the posts" with siding, thereby making a two story affair. There is now a space of eight inchss between the floor and the ground, and the owner expects to have a three-story barn by 1910. Eventuelle, he thinks, he may be compelled to install elevator service to reach the upper floors. READING ROOM OF NEW OCEAN LINER Passengers on the new ocean steamship "George Washington," named in honor of the first president of the United States, the latest addition of the North German Lloyd fleet, could easily imagine they were in some sump tuously furnished colonial homestead instead of on the boundless deep, as this new transatlantic liner is to be decorated and furnished in a style which re calls our own colonial type. The vessel will offer many innovations to ocean travelers. It will make its first trip sailing from New York July 1. REVEALS GOLD HAS MAP SHOWING SPOT OF BURIED TREASURE ON SHELL. Ezra Delivers One Dollar for Gyps»· Wares and Gets Wonderful Se cret In Return for Hi» Money. Tyson, Vt.—Ezra Burt, who lives about a mile east of tlie Corners, has a hen which 110 amount of money will buy. It Is a scrawny, Ill-appearing fowl with bedraggled feathers and a semi-bald head, and what is more it has laid only one egg In its entire two years' existence. Still, old Betsy, as the hen is called, lias a niche in Ez ra's heart, and gets the very best grain the farm affords. The secret of all this Is that the one egg Betsy laid contained on Its shell a raised water-line map of the spot where old Jeremiah Burt, Ezra's great-grandfather, buried his gold at the time of the revolutionary war, and with the aid of this map Ezra recov ered the treasure. Just how much this was no one has been able to find out, but it is known that the mortgage on the farm has been paid off and the Burt family is living in comfort. The Burts gave up hunting for the strcreieu wewiu tu ycjiiB α^υ, auci they had searched and dug until they were tired out. They knew that the paternal Burt sunk his gold some where in the earth, and went off to war without telling his, family where he had placed it, further than that it was on the farm. Last summer a gypsy came along selling beads and laces and offered to go into a trance and solve the treasure riddle provided Ezra bought a dol lar's worth of her -vares. Burt took up the offer and in her trance the woman said that some day an old scrawny hen would lay an ->3g in which would be found a map. If this were followed the treasure would be found. Ezra thought he was "stung," but he paid the dollar. Nothing more happened until a month ago, when Betsy was found in the wood box behind the kitchen stove. Horrified at the idea of having a hen in her kitchen, Mrs. Burt shooed her out, and was surprised to find an egg nestling in the shavings. The egg naa peculiar raisea unes on me such, and Ezra was called. He remembered the prophecy of the gypsy and care fully studied the shell. Sure enough there was a map w'th a little star at the base of an old maple tree In the sugar orchard. With a pick and shovel Burt set forth, and an hour later returned with a discolored copper soap kettle heavy with gold. The family kept the secret until the mortgage wras paid, when it became common property. All efforts to get Ezra to tell how much money he found in the kettle have failed. Here's Meanest Joke of All. New York.—Robert Morgan, a vet eran of ^he civil war and member of the G. A. R., was the victim of a joke which resulted in his humiliation in a restaurant and his arrest. A stranger invited him to dine, but brazenly announced that he did not know the old man when the waiter presented the bill for the meal. When taken to a police station, a police lieu tenant was so impressed with his story and his plieht that he paid the bill, which was for a comparatively trivial amount. Criticism of Ragtime F:end. When some people play ragtime, one wonders how the piano stands the strain.—Exchange. Edesis nmi Matt: I One of the new small hats in violet velvet with full crown and band of jet cabochons at one side. I A picturesque hat In "taupe" felt, with black satin strings and largo faded pink rose with a cluster of leaves. VIOLETS TO BÊ MODISH. Parisian Millinery Already Indicates the Trend of Fashion. The millinery now In process of cre ation and the models In Paris Indicate that there will be a large field of choice in shapes, sizes, heights and materials, and that there will be less excuse than ever for matron or maid, rich or poor, to go unbecomingly hatted the coming spring. In flowers no less than in hats will numberless varieties be used by smart milliners. The lovely violet in all its shades will once more be placed to the fore and in such various forms can it be presented that it is safe to predict that it will assume its old time place as a favorite with well dressed women. From the fat double violet in satin or velvet to the single tremulous pur ple flower nodding on its threadlike stalk, as it grows wild in the fields, the product of the handiwork of the French flowermaker, all sorts will bo seen. No domestic product equals the fine French violets; so natural are the latter that one almost leans to in hale their fragrance. Always are these done in the single flowers. Of course, some of the velvet gar den violets also come from France, but the thicker, clumsier flowers are also made here. Lilacs in white and their own lav ender hues, and In yellow as well, will be used with roses and violets. vv îbiitna is again ιυ υο muvu and fine wistaria in natural tones Is one of the most artistic possible trim mings for large, flat hats. Fine wistaria blooms are expensive; the cheap should never—under any cir cumstances—be used. They are made in all colors. Roses, as usual, will be used galore, and pansies, too, in wonderful new tones will be seen. The Shirred Sleeves. In this day of mousquetaire sleeves it is a problem how to make them so that they will look shirred and yet be quite secure. Furthermore, when they are made of wash net or other washable fabrics it is almost impossible to launder them if they are made In the usual way. One clever woman han found that the inside seam of the sleeve may be made like a French seam, through which a tape may be run. The tape should be a little longer than the sleeve Is when pulled out to its full length. The seam for the second drawstring may be taken up on the outer side of the sleeve, and through this also a tape may be run. When the dress 13 worn the string may be drawn up to the armhole until the sleeve is the correct lengtn and then the cord may be tied up inside. When it is time to launder them tfce strings may be untied, the sleeves pulled out to their full length and the work thus made easy. Button Trimming. Buttons were attractively conspicu ous on a gray Ottoman silk gown noted in the foyer. Formed of one breadth of white silk seemed the skirt, drawn about the slim figure to button at one side of the back under large flat buttons covered with violet velvet. A wide sash of violet silk circled the waist at the normal line, knotting at the opposite side of the back, falling in long, heavily fringed ends; the fringe showed nine or ten inches of netted heading. Over the shoulders, shaping a square back and front of the bodice, over a tulle chemisette, were bands of silk dotted witft buttons and pointed with tassels.—From a Paris Letter to Vogue. Rinse Lace In Milk. When washing lace never rinse it in blue water with the idea of improv ing its color. Real lace should be Anally rinsed in skim milk, which will give it a soft, creamy color. An Iridescent Shutter. A very interesting inside window screen Idea is the Iridescent glass shutter. The glass is mounted and hinged to the Inside of the window frame, covering about three-quarters of the lower sash as a more perma lar substitute for the popular short curtain. Through the daytime the delicate colors are visible in the Interior, and when the room Is lighted after dusk there Is a beautiful iridescence from an outside viewpoint To Renovate Kid Glove·. Mix together equal quantities of white of egg, black Ink, and milk or cream. Put the gloves on the hands, and apply the compound to the rubbed parts with a bit of soft flannel. Kid shoes may be treated in the same way. Checked Velveteen·. One of the charming new winter materials used in imported suits is velveteen in rich colorings, printed with small checks or little Indian de signs on dark grounds. THE DIRECTOIRE A GODSEND. Allows for Effective Display on Com paratively Small Outlay. To the superficial observed ihe di rectoire gown seems costly, but girls who Keek ways to dress themselves well for the least possible ■ outlay pro nounce the directoire a godsend. "Take a satin princess slip of apricot or salm on pink or a delicate shade of blue and yellow and see what you can do," said a clever girl recently. "Put over the lining a blue tulle or chiffon and the shimmering effect is likened to moonlight. Add pearls of crystals to the corsage and the result Is a Doucet gown at a broadway price. Black lace, white lace and cream lace all look well over the satin. With a few acces^ sories, the effect is varied for every oc casion. No girl can get on without six evening gowns. Four may be made with one well fitted llnlne and with thought bestowed on the outer pop tions. Two others may be combined with empire dinner or reception gowns. With yokes these answer for the afternoon as well as for the dance or the play. With every gown the up to-date girl has her hair ornaments and her gloves and slippers. These trifles now count more for the well got up woman than the mere gown does. To be harmonious down to the last thread is our ambition." IDEA IN BLOUSE DESIGN. May Be Made in Various Ways to Suit Individual Tastes. This blouse may be made of the same materia] as d~ess, silk the same color as skirt, or fancy blouse mate rial. The yoke and tight-fitting under sleeves are of tucked net and inser tlon; deep tucks are carried over tht shoulders, and the sleeves are also deeply tucked, they are finished at el bows with lace frills. Velvet outlines the yoke, and silk-covered buttons trim the front. Materials required: 2 yards 40 inches wide, 1% yard tucked net 18 inches wide, 8 buttons, and %-yard velvet on cross. New Trimmings. Many of the new trimmings con sist of narrow bands of thin, white material, embroidered in white flow ers, mingled with a few Dresden tints This being new, it is quite expensive. There is a Chinese embroidery to: white waist trimming that is peculiar ly pretty, yet not a delicate pattern The flower design is padded, while the leaves are filled in with machine stitches of coarse floss almost as heavy as the finest soutache.

One Ingenious housekeeper has hit upon a novel rack for her back bath room, much used by the children. She unscrewed the curved wooden han dle of an old umbrella, bored a hole through the upper part for a hanger and stuck small screw hooks in the handle at Intervals. A large wooden spool was slipped on the cut off part of the handle for an ornament and was covered with several coats of gilt paint. This rack, when hung on the wall, made a convenient holder for towels, washrags and some of the smaller hooks were even utilized for tooth brushes. Dress In a Good Light. Try to arrange the light In your bed room so that it will fall directly on you as you stand In front of the glasB. It is very annoying to go from a badly lighted drawingroom, or place of entertainment and suddenly dis cover that something unnotlceable in the semi-darkness la decidedly am lea with one's toilet This is a safe bet—a woman to al ways as old as she says she Is. MADE HER FEEL FOOLISH. Ill-Brcd Woman Deserved Little Sym pathy In Her Mortification. % ——— "In an eastern city, an ill-bred wom an used to boast that her husband owned a bank. She was proud, and excessively foolish in her pride. The conductors on the line which she uses all know her, and smile when she enters the car and grandly uttere her command: "Conductor, let me off at my hus band's bank." One day lately, a trampish-looklng old fellow with a red nose got on the car just as the banker's wife deliv ered her usual order to the conductor. The old man watched the performance curiously, and then arose, pulled him self together, and called out, with a magnificent air that was almost in imitable: "Conductor, let me off at my old woman's peanut stand." A roar went through the air, and "my husband's bank" has been alluded to-more than ever since that time. LIVE AND LEARN. Farmer Meddergrass—Waal, by clover!
