As rapidly as makers can fill our orders, little lots are being shipped. The very thing that may please you most may be here today, and gone tomorrow. What we try most to do is to avoid duplication.

In this way a wide variety is created, with more or less exclusiveness attached to each model, and without similarity. You will be particularly interested just now in the American-designed apparel ling for women and misses, at $16, $20, $26 and $35. Around these prices are grouped some of the foremost styles of the season, in materials that are both new and novel. $4,800,000,000 The above amount represents the gold supply of the world.

YAVERLY USE FOR HOUSEHOLD PETS Psychologist Says Cats and Parrots Would Keep Lonely People From Committing Suicide. A new use for cats, parrots and oth er household pets has been discovered by Dr. Colin A. Scott, professor of psychology at the Boston Normal school. He Is reported to have said to an audience of public school principals In Chicago that one reason why peo ple commit suicide 1b that they feel their own uselessneBB, and that If an unmarried woman has a cat or a par rot to care for it may give her some thing to live for and prevent her from taking her own life. Anything else that awakens and holds interest in life would serve the purpose equally well a fad of any sort, plants, a garden, whist, novels, history, charitable work, crocheting, votes for women. The number of pos sible objects to keep a woman inter ested in life is unlimited. Even for elderly and disillusioned bachelor maids, who find the world a lonesome place, there are countless fascinating subjects of interest. Perhaps cats are among the least promising of such subjects, for cats generally are selfish and eelf-centered. They take all they can get and give as little as they can. No woman real ly ever owned a cat. The cat owns the woman. And possibly that is why the psychology professor suggested cats as preventives of suicide. irr 1 BLOOrHOUNDS IN TRIALS. Court Holds Testimony of Hounds Competent In Corroboration. The rating of the bloodhound in American criminal Jurisprudence is not settled, it appears, despite the able and exhaustive opinion derogatory to the dogs rendered by Judge Sullivan when on the Supreme bench of Neb raska. That opinion was so favorably re garded and was shown such respect by courts in other States that Its character as a precedent seemed to be fairly well established. But now n opinion of precisely the opposite Import has been handed down by so near a tribune as the Supreme Court or Kansas. The illng is that the "testimony" of bloodhounds Is some thing that may be properly considered, especially In connection with other evidence concerning tne competency of which there Is no dispute. The court refuses to set aside a verdict of murder against a man con vlrted solely on the evidence of shoe T rln's and the trailing of footsteps by hounds. The dogs took the trail from the tracks around the body of the murdered man and followed it for six .l.lles to the home of the man, who '.as then accused and later convicted. The shoe tracks around the body and the home of the man accused corre hponded with the shoes he wore. It was contended that if the trailing by the hounds were eliminated from the evidence the evidence from the shoe prints alone would not be sufficient for conviction on a capital charge, but the court held that the "testimony" of the hounds was competent to cor roborate that of the prints. Omaha World-Hereld. Wild Cattle in the Olympics. Although the State has its "no trespass" sign tacked on the elk in the Olympic mountains, guides are returning from the wild regions with large game wild cattle unprotected by law. Grant W. Homes brought In the hide and horns of a wild bull he killed In the plateau region at the headwater of the Dusewsllips River. Humes, who has lived in Olympia fif teen rears, says several hurdred wild cattle are at large near the source of the DiTsewalllps. Indian legend says the stock was Iroreht to this country by Scotch settlers ho landed from a sailing vessel in the ear'y 4'a. The colony did not thrive and its members re turned to civilization leaving their slock. Guides say the wild cattle and horse are more timid than deer and more difficult to hunt.

Republican light in Pennsylvania had been unnecessarily delayed by the re fusal of the Roosevelt electors named In the Harrlsburg convention last spring to resign and permit the Re publican state committee to name their successors. It developed, though, that ex-State Senator William Flinn, the new leader of the state, does not propose to have these electors resign until Sept. 30. It turns out that .Mr. Flinn is perfectly willing to trust to the political in tegrity of Mr. Hilles, but he Is not willing to trust to the political In tegrity of Senator Penrose. The conference between Mr. Ililloa, Mr. Ti'den and. Mr. Wasson was called for the purpose of hurrying the resig nation of the remaining twenty-three Roosevelt electors, so that their places might be taken by twenty-three Taft men. Fllnn, who controls the regular Re publican organization of Pennsylvania, will not permit the twenty-thre Roosevelt electors to resign until the fifteen other Roosevelt electors fo make up the complement of thirty eight Is accepted by the secretary of state, who Is a Penrose man. Mr. Fllnn also controls the Wash ington party, which intends to nomi nal by petition fwo state officers.
