WOMEN'S SUITS AND COATS FOR
FALL.
Every Day Brings Many Notable
Additions.
You will be interested today, and every day now, in the passing show of
women's wearing apparel. 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. There is nothing more vexing
than to meet your next-door neighbor at an afternoon function wearing a suit simi
lar to, or identical with, your own.
We not only largely limit our selection to one of a size in a color, but possibly to
one or two sizes of a style. 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

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.

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

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. Seattle cor

Where Asparagus Grows Wild.
Asparagus was not introduced into
Britain by the Romans, who applied
the term asparagus to tender shoots
which according to Juvenal, grew on
mountains (MontanI asparagl). The
plant Is certainly native with us and
occurs sparsely or. the eastern and
southern coasts of England at Angle
sey and Pembroke in Wales and
around Wexford and Waterford in Ire
land. It is no longer found cm
Asparagus Island, near the Lizard, as
all text books of English botany assert
but still grows profusely on some
neighboring cliffs of Kynance Cove.

Sees Possibility of Bull Moose
Petition Being Rejscted
HOLDS UP COMPROMISE PLAN
Fllnn Will Not Allow Roosevelt
Electors to Resign Until Nominat
ing Petitions Have Been Accepted.
The aftermath of the conference in
Washington between C. D. llllles,
chairman of the Republican national
committee; Henry G. Wusson, Penn
sylvania state chairman, and William
T. Tllden. president of the I'nlon
League club of Philadelphia, concern
ing the electoral vote situation in the
Keystone state, disclosed that no com
promise of any kind was reached, hut
that the political situation Is as fol
lows: Chairman Hilles believed that th?
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. It
will require the signatures of 3f.00Q
voters of Pennsylvania to nominate
these men and the thirty-eight Roose
velt electors on the Washington party
ticket. The latest ray that nominat:
ing petitions can be filed is Sept. HQ.
f pn Sept. 3() the secretary of state
accepts the petition f (he VV'aahlngr
ton party the regular Republican stats
committee will be called together, the
twenty-three Roosevelt electors will
resign and their places will be im
mediately tilled by twenty-three Taft
electors. The name3 of the twenty.
