Pearl McNeal, HON EMMN. tailor and cleaner Fast Nide Katy Railroad DFN119 HICKS, Prop Nat'l Secretary Headgear of the New Year-Soft Hats Have Taken the Season by Storm. If there can be said to be any difference in the shapes of derby hats that difference lies in the crown, which this season is much higher. It is predicted on good authority that representative spring shapes will show a decided preference for extreme crowns. Attention still centers on the efforts to create a style for brown derbies, though the public shows little or no disposition to accept them so far. Manufacturers' new samples show a variety of shades in brown, but the best known shops are not predicting a successful season for them. A new departure in the derby but which seems to have caught the public fancy is the extensive use of fine materials. The texture, material and trimming and the silky appearance of the felt proclaim it once that quality is there and so clearly evident that even the unpractical eye appreciates the difference. While the price—$10—may stand in the way of an immediate purchase, the man who once wears a finer derby is loath to return to the regulation quality. The rich appearance of the more expensive hat and the durability and preservation of its color and shape offset the slight increase in cost. Too many men hesitate to change the shape of their derby once they have found a becoming block, and it is really a difficult thing to convince the man of plainer ideas concerning dress that he should adopt one of the new high brown shapes. For the man who does not fancy a high crown there is a rather flat crown derby with a some ```markdown ``` Beginning at the top the cut shows the o, a hat of 156, the high crowned derby, the "Master William," the "knockabout" and the alpine. what pointed brim, which is more becoming to certain types than the high crown. Soft hats have taken the season by storm. More styles in these are shown than for many years back. An unprecedented departure the soft hat has taken is its universal use for evening wear. The hat no used comes in black only, is well made and lined with satin. The name that distinguishes it from the alpine is "Tuxedo," and it may accompany all styles of evening clothes and go to almost any function with dignity. The most popular soft hat of the season is made of belly nutria. The material is taken from the under portion of the little animal, which inhabits the Brazilian boundary along the Flatte river. A strip of the belly is taken from the pelt and put through certain processes which render it as soft and fine as the costiline silk. The pelt turns water and does not spot with rain or snow. The nutria is similar to our beaver, but is smaller in size, and it produces the finest material for hat making on the market with the exception of beaver. The soft hats made from it come in several shades, but soft fawn color seems to be the most popular. There are several shapes also. The college boy wears his hat with a ring crushed in the crown. This style is called "Master William." Then there are the "telecope," the "knockabout" and another style which to a considerable degree resembles the alpine Silk hats are always interesting, just as are ladies' evening hats, and the shapes change from one season to the next. Very young men wear crowns a trifle less curved or belled than the out represents, if there is any perceptible difference in the shape. On the other hand, styles in silk hats for older men have the bell crown much more emphasized and are a bit larger and beaver looking. The middle aged man wears a groovy silk band on his silk hat, while for the younger man is substituted a narrow band of cloth. Owing to the increased popularity of the soft black hat already described for evening wear there has been a decided decline in the use of the opera hat since early fall—designer. Fashion's Erbora.

A Wife's Experience and a Common That Points a Bioral. "Aren't men funny?" said the little bride who was learning how to cook. "Here is a whole panful of soup stock that has got to be thrown out just because of a form of mental indigestion that has attacked John since he saw it. "Why, we lived for weeks and weeks on this very stock or some just like it. You know, one of the things I learned at cooking school was how to make soup stock. So the very day we came back from the honeymoon I made up a quantity of it and put it in the refrigerator. John likes soup, so we commence dinner with it every day. It was awfully easy just to take a few spoonsfuls of the stock and season it one day with tomatoes, the next day with peas, the next day with celery, and so on. John ate it as though he were familiarized and complimented me so that I finally took out my bowl of stock and showed him how I made it. "What," he said, "I've been eating the very same soup every day and thought I was getting infinite variety? I suppose, he dung at me, 'you fancy a soup by any other name would seem as tasty. I thought there was an awful resemblance between those daily portions of liquid refreshments. Why, it's just like those cheap perfumes that they make all in one big boiler and pour into different shaped bottles and label with different names." "And from that day to this," finished the disappointed bride, "he has looked upon my soups with suspicion and my cooking with contempt." "My dear," said the experienced housekeeper, "some day you will learn that what a man doesn't know won't hurt him and that it is only when the domestic wheels revolve in the dark and he can't see them go round that he appreciates your housekeeping. Telling a man how you do things is just as disillusionizing as giving him a peep behind the scenes at the comic opera."—New York Press. AN ODD BOOKCASE. One That Will Hold Large as Well as small volumes. If you have ever bought bookcases you know that it is practically impossible to find one that is suitable for holding both large and small volumes. To meet this want here is an attractive design. The case occupies no more room than one of the everyday style, but observe how ingeniously it is made. 3 FOR BOTH LARGE AND SMALL BOOKS You see the point, don't you? A good part of the space is reserved for small books, but at one end the shelves are so placed that large volumes may be set upon them from the open side of the case, the sides of the books being exposed rather than the backs. Of course the idea may be carried out simply or elaborately, according to the taste and skill of the handy man or woman who takes it up.-Ladler's Home Journal. Like Mistress, Like Mold. "The manners and temperament of the mistress of a house are reflected in her servants." An enterprising book agent made this statement. "The manner in which the servant answers my summons to the front door is almost invariably the clew to what kind of treatment I may expect from the mistress. When a maid appears and wears a forbidding scowl on her face I can be absolutely certain that the woman of the house is a person of a very uncertain temperament. If, on the contrary, I am greeted with a smile and something that seems to approach cordiality I enter the house feeling relieved, for I know that even if the mistress refuses to buy the books I have to offer she will do so in a manner that will make me feel that I am a human being trying to earn an honest living and not a social outcast. Servants reflect the atmosphere of a household, just as children reflect the breeding of their parents."—Philadelphia Recore. Dangerous Use of Arsenic. While arnica is one of the drugs included in nearly every household medicine chest, it is doubtful if the average mother, who is wont to apply it so freely to the fingers and toes of her little ones, realizes the risk she runs. Although many home remedies call for the use of arnica, it is said to be highly dangerous to apply it to the skin unless greatly diluted. One part arnica to the parts water, the proportions commonly advised, is said to form a lotion the use of which is attended with great danger. A correspondent who has looked up the subject says that arnica should be diluted more than ten times "if used in full strength" she says, "arnica will cause paralysis. A good combination is that of one teaspoonful of arnica to four tablespoonfuls of witch hazel, and even then it should be used in moderation, as experience has shown."

FRIDAY, JAN. 4, 1907 NO IMMEDIATE POLITICAL HOPE FOR THE SOUTHERN NEGEO. The Right to Vote a State and Not a National Right. The Negro Must Make Good in States Where He Most Complains THINGS HE CAN DO TO ULTIMATE LA BETTER HIS CONDITION. (From the Western Press Bureau, by JOHN H JACKSON.) Without entering into a discussion of the causes which have brought about the result, there is no doubt that a reaction has set in throughout the South against the civil and political rights of the Negro. Much of this adverse sentiment is also finding its way into the North, East and West, where separate schools for the rates are being insisted upon in many localities. In the South some prominent politicians are even urging the repeal of the war amendments to the Federal Constitution as a panacea for what they claim to be the political alls brought upon the country by the freedom and enfranchisement of the former slaves. A relentless, imperious and cruel race prejudice, which makes no account of individual worth, seems determined to reduce the conflicts to a condition of peonage in many of our States. No same man believes that the American people will ever consent to a repeal of the war amendments, and while they may never be enforced according to the letter of the law, yet the spirit which enacted them will remain forever as the proudest legacy that the Anglo Saxon can leave to the descendants of the Anglo-African. But notwithstanding all this, there is very little immediate hope that the political condition of the Negro, in this generation, will be materially bettered in the southern States. Under normal conditions it has always been recognized as a wise provision of the Federal Constitution that the protection to life and property, in case of individuals, is primarily a State right, and while under such abnormal conditions as now exists, it is a hardship upon the Negro who, on account of an unwholesome public sentiment in certain States, is practically left without protection. Yet we do not believe that any president in this generation will urge the enactment of a National law that will afford ample protection to the Negro race in the South. It is then the part of wisdom for the Negro to recognize conditions as they are rather than to continue to complain because they are not as they should be, and to make the most of the circumstances that surround him. The right to vote is recognized primarily as a State right, and under our Constitution, the States can prescribe the qualifications for voting, whether it be a property or an educational test, provided it is not based upon color or a previous condition of servitude. As the writer views it, if the Negro is to better his political condition in the south, he must make good in States where he has most cause for complaint, and must await the tedious process of time to heal his political wounds. In the meantime, he should not be idle, but there is much that he can do to bring about better moral, material and civil conditions. The Negro, finding little protection for life and property in the average community, is beginning to turn upon his tormentors and the strong arm of the law must intervene to prevent that race friction which is beginning to be too frequent of late. The dominant race must learn to ex- J. W. Voohie's Restaurant I also carry a fine hare of GROCERIES and MEATS. Give me a share of your trade. State Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas Home one in West.

The means by which the colored people can better their general condition will be treated of in subsequent letters and under the following heads: I. Reduction of southern Representation in Congress. II. Opposition to Separate Schools. III. Individual Worth as Opposed to Race Lines. In a word, some men think I am easily understood. Speaking on this wise, just because their people were an authority, they conceive this idea, and put forth this remark, saying that I came to place the Negro as the name runs, on an equality with them. They know God does not do this work that way. But since some men have mentioned it, this is what God has already done. God has placed the Negro Christians and the Christians out of all races in all the world, not on an equality with civil man. But high above them, and high above all people, that fight against the true word of God. 1. The Christians shall be first, hereafter; God will make it true. 2. Wicked people think they will not be quiet before God, but they will and they will start from this time on and forever. 3. From this time Satan and all his agents begins to lose their authority, tood will ally Satan, and all his when powers, Satan has magnified himself, in pressing the Christian ordeal, but he shall stop, and from this day he shall start to calm himself before God, all over the earth. 4. God and His judgments are true and just and His ways are perfect. 5. God will perform this work. 6. God will endorse what I have wrote 7 Mark this time. JOHN HARRISON. Junction City, Kan.

Teach them the absurdity of expectorating in the corners of the rooms, on the floors. I had the pleasure, while at the V. of C. as a student, and in the U. S. Marine service, in performing a number of experiments on guinea pigs. The sputum from a known patient was taken and in jetted into the pig, after 24 hours' exposure to the sunlight. These pigs died about six weeks after. The same sputum was exposed 36 hours longer and the same experiment repeated. They were found to live about eight weeks. After 48 hours' exposure, the sputum required to produce no special effect upon the guinea pig. Thus we learned that the tuberculous germ can not live or thrive in sunlight. We further learned that a part of the septum that was kept in the dark was virulent several months after this shows that oxygen night and lighted corners are essential to the deterioration of these germs, rather than soil air and dark corn is which our culture body for this germ of the great White lague.

The convention voted to have it printed so it will soon be in the hands of those who were not fortunate enough to hear it at the meeting. The reports showed that much work had been done the past year and that the women were taking an active part in charitable work.

"There is a sentimental Tommy in almost every school," said Michael King of Lewiston as he leamed over the counter of his cafe on Main street and cut a luxurious pumpkin pie. "There was one in our school when I was a boy. He was Tommy Prizier, and he was a mighty smart little fellow, but he never had his lessons. He knew where every bad nested, where the May flowers grew the thickest and where the high top sweetings fell first, but, bless you, he couldn't remember his sons. He was critical in many matters too. He knew all that was passing in the politics of the state and nation, but he was off in his history lesson. One day he came in late and couldn't keep his thoughts on his book. On his way to school he had seen a big mud turtle by the side of the track, and he had to put a big rock on him to hold him till night, and his anxiety test the turtle should get away blinded his eyes. He hoped that somehow the teacher would pass him over. He listened to the oth er children reciting, with a big mud turtle crawling away before his eyes with a rock on his back, but finally the teacher's eyes fell on him. "Tommy Frazier, what battle was Lord Nelson killed in? "Tommy was in despair, but he found a war. "Did you say Lord Nelson?" he asked cautiously. "Yes." "Which battle?" "Yes, certainly." "Well," said Tommy as the light of inspiration broke over him—well, I specks it must have been his last." A Leason From Elites. It was in a country school, and I was hearing my little second reader class. The lesson that day was a story about files, their curious ways and habits. Among other things the story said that files always kept their faces clean and then went on to tell how they rubbed their feet over their heads, as could often be seen by watching them. The last thing in the lesson was the question, "What lessons can boys and girls learn from the files?" I asked the children to answer the question. Only one small boy ventured an answer, and that was, "To wash our faces with our fe. Christian Register. Easy For an Expert.

New York Press A QUESTION OF CARPETING A neat, pretty and inexpensive "Life and Illum" solved it satisfactorily. Our new house was to be finished in the fall, and by that time all of our extra capital would be finished also. I was trying to think of some nice but inexpensive way to furnish the second story rooms when Aunt Anna came to visit us for a month, says a writer in the New Idea Magazine. "Twenty years ago the carpet question did not worry young housekeepers, for every bride was expected to have a fine web of rag carpet to begin with, and really I think there is nothing prettier or more suitable for upstairs bedrooms than the soft cotton of a well made rag carpet," said Aunt Anna after I had told her of my plans and the size of my purse. "But how can I make one?" I asked after thinking of all of the castoff garments in the family. "By going to work," she replied, "and when you run out of material at home call on your aunts and cousins." So we began at once and soon had all our material collected. "To insure a smooth, even carpet we must use all cotton rugs and cut them all of such width that when woven they will be of uniform thickness. Rugs cut from soft goods will beat up closer in the weaving than those cut from stiffer material and should be about as thick as six ply of the chain or an out straw when woven into the carpet," said Aunt Anna as she rolled and twisted a strip between her fingers. First we cut in strips all the dark and all the bright colored rags. These we mixed well, lapping the ends about an inch and sewing them diagonally across with the machine. Not stopping to clip the threat each time, we soon had a long strip sewed, and then, clipping it apart, we wound it into balls of about one pound each. We had decided to make rags by 12 feet. These would require twelve yards of yard wide carpet. Each square yard of carpet requires one pound of rags, so we stopped when we had sewed twelve pounds of rags. The rags were sewed hit and miss and of so many colors that we selected the chain in six different colors, a pound of each, and had it laid thread about so that there would be no stripes. Besides the rings the carpet cost. Six pounds of chain, at 25 cents per pound, $150; twelve yards weaving, at 10 cents per yard, $120, total $270 A Convenient Kitchen Table. The design shown herewith illustrates a table that represents not a little experience and consideration of what goes to make the most convenient table, says the Ladies' World. It has a large top, which keeps dishes and pans from getting into inextricable confusion, and it has a large num- A KITCHEN TABLE ber of drawers, which are always convenient, and also closet room. Two slides pull out, on which pans may be set when one is sitting at work at the table, while in the long space under the center of the table is a chance to hang a multitude of kettles and other kitchen utensils. These are protected from dust by a washable curtain that slides upon a rod at the front of the opening. The French Apron End. The wearing of aprons is one of the old useful fashions now being revived, greatly to the saving of our frocks and the comfort of the wearers. The coquettish apron has been set aside for awhile, but is now once more asserting itself. The strictly useful has always held its own. The French have turned a kindly eye to them, and in the days of Louis XIII women wore them and their bunch of keys, showing they were veritable housekeepers. In the time of Louis XIV, ladies of the court dressed them when employed in needlework and other arts, and it is from that period we are restoring the airy nothings of lace and muslin to our favor. Sometimes they are of light colored crepe de chine, worked in gold. More useful ones of thicker fabric have large pockets. These are adorned with pretty ribbon bows, and these ribbons sometimes draw up the pocket. Sometimes strong linen aprons are laced with ribbon at the edge by means of cyelet holes. A *saling Item For Housekeepers. A *preserver of time and patience is something to wrap the silver in when it is to be laid away for company use. It is a tissue paper in which there is no sulphur, and it positively keeps the silver clean and bright any length of time, says a correspondent in an exchange. --- Notes From Jewelers' Circular.

We should equip ourselves to be made better men than we are should we live to see the Xmas of 1907. Rev J. J. Watson, of Girard, was in the city 26th and 27th, and is looking the picture of health. Since the dismission of the three companies of the 25th Infantry of Negro troops, nearly every criminal case in the country, especially if it is near El Reno,, is charged up to a Negro soldier. This is done largely to make it appear that Negro soldiers are not needed in time of peace. Miesee Maude and Blanche Burnott, of Baxter, Kan., spent several pleasant days in the city, guests of their mister, Mrs Sallie Alexander. Mrs Cliff Perry and her mother, of Joplin, spent last Thursday in the city, guests of the H. Watsons Miss Tessie Cole, of Bazter, was the guest of Miss Ora Edwards, on the 26th ult.

The deadlock of the contending armies in Manchuria immediately after the battle of Sha River recalls the campaigns of the civil war. Kuropatkin fortified in the tracks where the battle left him, and so did his enemy. The Russian fortifications are known to be formidable, and doubtless those constructed by the Japanese are equally strong. Early in the civil war the spade was at a discount, but in 1850 both the north and the south armies fell to burning raids and breastworks as soon as a dick or earl in the fighting. The Confederate General Lee in his retretoide movement from the Windercess battlefield to James river, ford and the lines taken up since at Ipsytonbunna. North Anna river and Gold Harbor Grant to get his way up to the Confederate outputs and also fortified his lines. In the end he gave up trying to burst through the enemy's strong burriers and moved forward by the flank. The same method is distortized the Confederate retretoide movement from Delton to Atlanta, Ga. led by General Johnston Johnston not every advance of his opponent, Sherman, with strong fortifications. Sherman fortified the ground taken as he pursued his army step by step against the enemy's reserve lines. Prolonged contests always end in a brute sting for the mastery, and finally the the crevice work, the plumber a place of human bodies to its and shells. In this respect warfare has but the main war to the old problem— the spade the spade. Sending Christmas Presents by Mall. The approach of the Christmas season brings anything but pleasant anticipations to the railway mail clerks who handle the thousands of presents sent through the mails. Their labor are greatly increased by the imperfect manner in which a large percentage of the pickakes are put up. In many cases being so poorly tied that they come apart long before they reach their destination. Speaking of it the other day, a mail clerk said if people would take the trouble to put the article in a box it would have a great deal of unnecessary worry and labor at a time when the clerks are badly overworked, and the present would reach the person for whom it is intended in much better shape than it usually does. A shoe or a corset box or a breakfast food carton makes a package of convenient size for handling in the mails. Glass, china or fragile articles of any description should be packed in wooden boxes. Packages should be securely tied and plainly marked with the address of the sender in the upper left hand corner. Postage should be fully prepaid, 1 cent an ounce for merchandise and 1 cent for two ounces on printed matter, including books, photographs, pictures, etc. Federation in Central America. Some of the politicians and party leaders of Central America are reported to be making determined efforts to secure a union of the five republics of that region in an offensive and defensive alliance against the whole world, with the particular purpose of realizing imagined encroachments upon their rights and territory by the United States. Aggression by this country is not at the present time so threatening as to demand the formation of such an alliance, but a union of the states between Mexico and the Isthmus would undoubtedly inure to the benefit both of those states themselves and of their larger neighbors. It would give a much greater assurance of permanent peace among them than now exists. The federation movement received a considerable impetus from the recent convention at Port Corinto, at which Guatemala, Nicaragua, Salvador and Honduras were represented. Costa Rica sent no delegates to this meeting, but her eminent men express themselves as in hearty sympathy with the federationists. This country is not alone in having a serious immigration problem with which to contend. England has discovered that within a comparatively short time she has convicted over 18,000 allens of crimes at a cost to her taxpayers of over $000,000. Furthermore, the infux of allens is raising the rents to a figure which is beyond the resources of her own poor tollers. Many of the allens are paupers and become a burden upon the communities where they settle. Brigadier General Story, chief of artillery of the United States army, makes the encouraging announcement that our new coast defenses render our large cities as nearly impregnable as Port Arthur. He insists, however, that more artillerymen are needed to keep the forts and their guns in their present state of efficiency. The dalal lama is reported to have arrived in Russian dominions, but he didn't take his late kingdom with him. Great Britain had a string on that. The muskrat predicts a mild winter, the goose bone an extremely cold one. Between the two we may expect the usual "all kinds of" weather. Russia's Liberal Bodyguard. The remstvo of Russia is a historic institution, and collectively the remstvo, since they exist in every district, may be considered the very citadel of Muscovite patriotism. They have in part the characteristics of the New England town meeting and the county boards or councils of all the states. No one has ever questioned the purity of motive of their members, who are elected by the people and serve without pay, or their devotion to the czar and the empire. As to the duties or prorogativus of the remstvo there are two opinions. The advisers and ministers of the czar who hold the views of the late M. de Pleche would have them attend to purely local affairs and in that sphere be as public spirited as they choose. On the other hand, M. de Witte always sought their cooperation in carrying out administrative reforms and urged them to speak their minds freely upon the condition of the pen-antry The first contact of the Czar Nicholas II with the rematvos was soon after his inauguration, when he received the honour of his subjects. Representatives from all the rematvos of all the Russias gathered in a spacious hall and presented addresses, one after another, in terms of handlance of the new ruler. One zemstvo-only one took the opportunity to hark back to the 'says of Alexander II and expressed the modest hope that the grandson of that liberal monarch would not restrain his confidence wholly to the bureaucrery, but would let the voice of his people be heard through their chosen representatives, the zemstvos. At this suggestion the young autocrat turned wrathfully upon the whole assemblage and, stamping his foot, declared that they must forever renounce such chimerical notions, for he would have none of them during his reign. In so far as lies in their power the sensitives have stood between the common people and the oppressive agents of the central government. During the present reign they have attempted to exercise the punishing power in local offenses, but this has been eternally overruled. One of the czar's advisers declared "Questions of the remote have no more to do with law courts than questions of family life. If a father may chastise his son severely without invoking the help of the courts the authorities, local, provisional and central, should be invested with similar power to imprison, flog and otherwise execute or punish the people." In other words, every provisional governor and every petty pennant prefect should exercise the irresponsible and whimsical power of an autocrat without recourse to or regard for law. The Liberals of Rusia are not banded against monarchical institutions, since these are necessary to the working out of a national destiny, nor against the ruling dynasty. They simply ask that the affairs of the nation be freed from the changing caprice of individuals, the rapacity of a clique, and conducted by competent and honest men, independent of the corrupt and fluctuating influence of the imperial court. Despite the unbroken record of railway disasters in the United States it remains true, as proved by the experience of accident insurance companion that the safest place in the world is a railroad train. Not less than thirty persons were killed and many more than that injured in elevator accidents in New York city in the past year. No such proportion of the persons who traveled between New York and Chicago in the same period were even injured. It is capable of proof that within almost any section of the country more persons are accidentally killed in the day's work than in railway disasters. The explanation of this odd fact is, of course, that those places are most dangerous where danger is least expected and those safest where danger is so looked for and so probable that the mind of every man concerned is intent on avoiding and preventing accident. Although John Bull is now a vahment apostle of arbitration, at least in closet policy, he is reorganizing the military forces of India on the basis of a $50,000,000 outlay. The troops will be concentrated at certain points to enable them to train together and cooperate in time of war. Since the great mutiny they have been quartered all over the country. Railroads and telegraphs have changed the situation and in time of war troops can be quickly forwarded to any distant scene of disturbance. The pioneer work of the Alaskan telegraph system recently completed was begun in 1805, before the Atlantic cable was laid. The projectors aimed to connect the new and old world by the Bering strait route, Cyrus Field's great achievement in 1803 dashed this enterprise to the ground. The new system is entirely on United States territory and comprises 2,127 miles of cable, 1,504 miles of land lines and 107 miles of wireless system.

Harris of Topeka, the only living man who set type on the first paper published in Kansas, has been celebrating his seventieth anniversary as a printer. For fifty years he has worked continuously at his trade and is still able to turn out a respectable "string." 6,000 Mr. Jacques Bertillon, the famous chief of the statistical bureau of Paris, has written a volume entitled "Alcoholism and the Way to Light It." Drink, he declares, is likely to erase the ruin of the French race unless something is done to overcome the habit. Carlile Pelletan, the French minister of marine, is noted as a typical Bohemian. He has spent a good part of his life in the Latin quarter, and even now, though compelled to live in the magnificent palace of marine, he frequently entertains his Bohemian friends. More Men, Women and Children to Read and Pay for CURIOUS CULLINGS. This rather disheartening sign was displayed to the view of customers in a fish store in lower Sixth avenue, New York; "Bay Wanted to Open Oysters Sixteen Years Old." The orgna of one of the churches in Belfast having resided to work, investigation revealed the presence of a large eel in the exhaust pipe. It was of course dead, and there is no explanation as to how it got there. A Parisian who has been much annoyed by dums has connected his bell handle with a powerful electric battery and switches on the current at psychological moments. So far the police have declined to interfere. A large deck of quail settled down on Main street, Los Angeles, Cal., right in the business heart of the town. They were seen frightened away and called of, toward the hills. The oldest habilitant is trying to cudgel up a president for this unusual thing. Aerial dinners are now the fashion in Paris. M.

If there is an express or implied notice to the purchaser that an agent has no authority to collect money, a payment will not bind the principal. (107 III. App., 82.) Where a contract resists the payment of $1 as its consideration, it is valid, although the sum was not actually paid, as it creates an obligation which can be enforced by the other party. (44 E. E. Rep., 885.)
