Home of the finer coats are trimmed with white Thibet. All children's coats have broad col lars. Some of the French coats turn back all the way down the front with an inserted vest between. One of those in the illustration has a plaiting around the edge of the broud collar that ex tends down the fronts Gimp loops at tached to fancy buttons fasten the coat in front. Another stylish coat is double-breast ed, fastening with large buttons. Above the broad collar of the material is one of astrakhan, which also forms the cap. It is a very simple matter to make a child's coat, and much money can be saved thereby. A very handsome piece of boucle can be purchased for $2.60 a yard, and one yard and a half is suffi cient for a coat for a three-year-old girl. With a yard of Thibet at two dol lars a yard, to trim the edge of the col lar, such a coat can be made very hand some for less than six dollars. It is not absolutely necessary to line them, as they are heavy enough without. The addition of a silk lining of course in creases the expense, but even then the small girl's coat need not cost ten dol lars. ALICE AMORY. Parreb Idy a Joke. One of Henry Clay's most formidable Kentucky opponents was John Pope, a one-armed mun, for many years a mem ber of congress, and at one time United States senator. He was once running against Mr. Clay in the Lexington dis trict, and the contest was close and ex citing. As election day approached, Mr. Clay heard that an Irishman in Lexing ton, who has always been one of his sup porters, had announced his purpose to vote for Mr. Pope. Mr. Clay went to see him, and inquired the reason. "Faith, Mr. Clay," said the man, "an' I've con cluded to vote for the man who has only one arm to thrust into the treasury."— Youth's Companion.

WlKh Tier Violin, n Florida Girl Draws Serpents from Their Den. With music drawn from her violin Miss Ruth Drown, a handsome girl of Lake City, Fla., has succeeded in charm ing fifty rattlesnakes, whose den is near her home. Miss Drown isthedaughterof wealthy parents, who have a magnificent home on the Suwannee river, in the western portion of the county. She is a skilled violinist and is accustomed to wander over her father's estate, taking her in strument with her. Recently it has 'been noticed that Ruth would go to n big rock near the river and remain for hours. The other afternoon ns Mr. Brown was riding over his estate he passed CHARMED BY TUB MUSIC. near the rock and heard weird musio coming from Ruth's violin. A wonder ful sight greeted him. Seated on the rock was Ruth, plac ing her violin,while about her were probably fifty rattle snakes, some of them monsters, and all seemingly charmed by the music. Wilder and wilder grew the music, and the snakes tumbled over each other in reptilian ecstasy. Then the music ehanged to tones that carried with them an order to retreat, and the rat tlers gradually moved from the rocks und disappeared in their den. Ruth said that for six months she had been visiting the rock, and at every visit there occurred such a scene os had been witnessed by her father. She said that about the same hour every evening she felt such a longing to visit the rock that she coukl not resist. When urged to cease vistttng the rock Ruth said she would rather die than desert the snakes. CHAMPION BAT-KILLER. Henry Cook, of I.onlsvlllo, Unm a Whip si ml Makes Big Bags. Only "night owls" are treated to the scientific exhibition of but-killing that goes on every morning 011 Jefferson street, between Fourth ami Fifth, at Louisville. For the lust month bats, at tracted in large numbers by the lights, have been fluttering about the doors of the all-night restaurant near the cor ner of Fourth. From the first Henry Cook has taken delight in eutching these grewsome animals ns they flew. When they began to appear he used a broom, secured from the restaurant, and ns they darted toward him hi knocked them down in considerable numbers. His record for one night was six. He began to think that he was taking an undue advantage of the an imals, so he started to practice with the long-lashed whip used by the hack drivers who stop in front of the res taurant. For awhile he struck at the bats aim lessly, and only succeeded in bagging game once in a long while. When he AURAIIT HE KILLS ALMOST EVERY BAT. . learned to manipulate the whip scien tifically he struck with the cracker. He lias now become so expert that he rarely misses a bat. Ills eye is so keen and his hand so quick that he is able to follow the bat from the time he sees it and measures the distance so that the whip lash will just reach. He kills almost every bat he strikes, and those he does not kill he disables so that they full to the ground and are food for the cat. Every morning be tween ono and four o'clock he has an interested crowd of spectators about him. Marrlrd the Wrong Couple. In the county clerk's office at Lancas ter, Ky., the other day a couple from the county obtained a license to marry, and Rev. C. M. Reed was called in to perform the ceremony. Another couple accompanied the bride and groom as attendants to the wedding. The min ister made a mistake and married tho wrong couple. Seeing his mistake, he called them back and married the right ones. The minister says that the brides maid and best man answered the ques tions, and 110 thought them the Inter ested persons.

KILLED AS A WITCH. Terrible Crime Perpetrated by an Alaska Medicine Man. Ahf Ghat, a Kake Brave, Plunges a Knife Into 11 1h Klnter'H Heart Because He Thought Her the Cause of Ills Illness. That "murder will out" is well illus trated in the case of the Kake Indian named Ahf Ghat, who in now a prisoner at Sitka, and whose case v. ill be tried by Judge Truitt nt that oiliciars last term of court before retirement. Ahf Ghat was apprehended six weeks ago by Deputy Marshal Harry Wallace, of Wrangle, for implication in the mur der of two traders on Kolce island about three months ago. The Indian was well known to the authorities through his ability to stow away more whisky than any other member of the tribe, and also on account of his fighting proclivities when drunk. On uceount of past deeds of lawlessness officers had long been looking for him, but had only recently become aware of graver crimes the Indian had committed other than those with which he had unready been charged. Almost a year ago a young Kake girl was cruelly murdered, after being starved and beaten until death came as relief. It was several months after ward before it became known, and then it was an impossibility to locate the wretches who were responsible for the infamous crime. A short time ago one of the Kakes in the Sitka prison upon seeing a new prisoner arrive, and with whom he was apparently nt enmity, told the guards the tale of horror. About ten months ago Ahf Ghat had been taken so ill that a medicine man was called. When the sick man's fam ily had piled up a stack of twenty blankets the Shaman condescended to begin his weird incantations. At the conclusion of the performance he in formed the patient that he was a very sick man, and that his sister was the cause of it, declaring her to be a witch. The Kakes have 110 religious belief whatever, but in regard to witchcraft their ideas are the same as those of many other Alaskan tribes. They be lieve an enemy can by means of spells and charms work out evils, shape ' ' "AN 818 FOB AN BYE." destinies, and finally destroy those they wish to, which belief is taught and en couraged by the medicine men of the tribe. If anyone is sick lie, upon propitiation, at once declares some per son to be the cause, and that, person must either confess himself n witch and promise to cense working injury upou the patient or he is put to death. The Indians are still in a state of utter bar barism, and hold to the old belief: 4 An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth tooth." Upon the sister being charged with sorcery she was at once brought before her brother and the Shaman. She wilci- I 3' protested her innocence, and upon her adhering to it she was bound and severely benten. Several days passed, during which she was given 110 food, und only enough water to moisten her pun-lied lips. Seeing her determined not to acknowledge herself a witch and responsible for liis illness, Ahf Ghat struggled from the pile of skins which had constituted Ills bed and plunged his knife into the heart of his helpless victim. The Kakes know no fear, even of death. Neither *do they understand such feeling as remorse. They have al ways remained on their island unmo lested, making their own laws and ad ministering them according to their own ideas of justice. If the murderers now incarcerated in Sitka are hanged they freely say they will kill the same number of white men before they con sider things even. That this lust ad dition to the imprisoned Kake contin gent will stretch hemp there can be 110 doubt, providing he doesn't die by his own hand in the meantime. Despite nil official denials, the prac tice of the "medicine art" prevails throughout all Alaska, and scores of unfortunate natives have, even in the short space of one year, suffered hideous deaths upon the decree cf the tnedicine man that they had practiced sorcery. With the force nt tbeir disposal the white authorities cannot enforce the law as it should be--to te"h the native population the lesson they must some time learn. The hope of the entire ter ritory is now fastened upon the estab lishment of an American army post in the far north. With soldiers at hand such murders as those to Ahf Ghat's ac count would be less frequent. flow Georgia Glrla Find llunhanda. John 11.
