worrs For Tis season! SECTIONAL PREJUDICE | i INVOKED IN TRIAL Flat and Enormous Ones Are Seidom Made Entirely of One Kind of Material. Muffs, flat and enormous, are seldom | entirely of one kind of material. There are ever so many of the most delight- ful combinations. Perhaps one of the most sombre of these was made of | shaggy black plush and white silk, heavily shrouded with black chiffon. Broad bands of the plush made the | outer ends; the silk and chiffon, wind- fog 'round the center, draped them- selves all over the front in an im- mense Geisha how, with tasseled ends hanging. A handsome seal muff had a single raccoon skin wrapped ‘round its cen- ter. The head came at the bottom | and had its teeth well fastened in the tall—two tails, in fact—long, vellow ringed affairs that hung from the cen- ter of the bottom edge. These orna- ments seem continually to be shifted about. Last winter all the fat tails seem trailing from muffs—'possum, red fox, raccoon—hung from one side. The little seal hat that accompanied this muff had a raccoon crown, and a small cluster of stiff yellow minia- ture costrich feathers repeated the note of the yellow rings on the tails. WOOL CAPS FOR THE GIRLS One Who Can Use Crochet Needle Can Easily Make Fashionable Af- fairs of Thick Zephyr, If you are clever with a crochet needle, make your small daughter or little niece one of the warm but fash- fonable caps of thick zephyr. It can be bought in all colors, but the dark ones are best and most serviceable for winter wear. Blue, red, brown, maroon are good colors to choose. Trimmings of a contrasting color or & different shade of the color used make pretty caps. They are crocheted round, like a skull-cap, but made long enough to have a broad band turned up all the way around. This band can be of con- trasting color of yarn. The band can be turned up all around, up in front and down to protect the neck in the back, or it can be left slit open in the center of the front and laid back, like two small revers, on either side. A ribbon I8 often woven in and out of the loose crochet stitch and tied in a ro- sette or flat bow on one side. Any desired stitch may be employed in the making of these caps; they can be as plain or as elaborate as you ‘wish, The Flufty Woman, To the trained eye it is very evident that by slow degrees—ao slow that to the uninitiated they are imperceptible —the modes are moving toward much wider skirts, fuller sleeves and the ,more involved trimmings of frills, ‘flounces, shirrs and ruchings that have !fluttered for the last several seasons ionly in the memories of one-time {devotees to their charms. Whether the {fAufty woman will equal in beauty her |lithe, unencumbered sister whose ad- s are legion it s difficult to tell. Story of Chicago Physician. A prominent physician tells this story: A poor woman went to a near by dispensary to ask aid for her little son who had one of his fingers smash- ed with a baseball bat. At the first room where she applied a curt atten- dant told her that the boy could not be treated there. *“Wrong place,” he explained, “this is the eye and the ear department.” “Vere is der thumb and finger department?” inquired the woman, simply. Up-to-Date Stationery. It is entirely a matter of choice whether one shall use white or tinted writing paper, and whether that pa- per shall have » linen or, as it is called, lawnette finish or a smooth surface. Domestic paper inclines to the lawnette finish and to somewhat decided, but quiet, colors, such as the new Helen pink (named in honor of the president’s daughter), fawn col or, which is being used a great deal, the popular orchid-lavender, and the newly introduced Continental buff.— Harper's Bazar. Favored Styles. The tendency is largely towards sults having trimming on the collars, cufts, and revers and occasionally on the skirts. Many of the recent models lave revers which almost close in the front, thus making them practicable for cold weather. A number have the long single revers which can be fast- ened over on the left side. Others coats are made in shield effect and have small standiug or turnover col- lars. Little Marjorie at Church. Little Marjorie went with her moth- er to church on the night the minis- ter baptized a convert by immersion. As soon as the ceremony was over the little girl leaned over to her mother and said in an excited whisper, “Mamma, do they drown some one bere ever’ Sunday?" Get Out of the Rut. “The dull man is made, not by na- ture, but by the immersion in a sin- gle business, and all the more if that be sedentary, uneventful, and inglorl- ously safe. More than half of him will remain unexercised and undevel- oped; the rest will be distended and deformed by over-nutrition, over-cere- bration, and the heat of rooms."—Rob- ert Louls Stevenson, in “The Wreck- er.” {court this morning. But Was Met With Scathing Rebuke | From Court, Coupled With Fine. | The dispatch from | Brooksville tells of a sensationai| turn taken in a noted case on trial| there: The trial of br. R, E, Davis, a lo- cal dentist, for shooting J. A. l!r,\':mI last spring, came to an end in circuit The jury was| following unable to agree and a mistrial re- sulted. This may mean that the | cies will be dropped; or it may be| brought up again at the next term of | court. The trial was marked by a sensational incident-—the - attempt | tc influence at least one member of | the jury to bring in a verdict in fa- vor of the defendant. It came to the ear of Judge Bullock that at least| one member of the jury had been ap- proached and asked to work for ac-| quittal of Dr. Davis, on the ground that it was a case of a northern man coraplainant, against a southern man | defendant, and that whatever could | be done for the defendant should be | be done. Judge Buliock stopped the proceedings and asked if any men-| ber of the jury had Leen thus appre- hended. One member steod up and | said he had, and that W, A, O'N a well known citizen of this city, was the man whko had approaci.ed him. Judge Bullock immediately had O'Neal arrested aad placed under bond. After the jury had been dis- vissed this morning O'Neal was ar- raigned before Judge Bullocn and he acknowledged approaching (he ]urorl with the request that he give every benefit of doubt to the prisoner. Judge Bullock fired O'Neal $25, and proceded to lecture him in most scathing terms. He denounced the appeal to sectional prejudice in stinging sentences. As one spectator remarked, *“The judge fined him $25 but he imposed $1,000 worth of verbal castigation.” History of the Case. The shooting of Bryan, which came very near to terminating fatal- ly, occured last spring. There was some dispute between the two men at the hotel, of which Bryan was then manager and Davis a guest. They quarreled and Davis shot Bryan. The defendant testified that at the time he shot Bryan the latter was choking him. Bryan declared this was not true. The jury was out all night, and this morning reported no verdict, and that it was impossible to reach an agreement. Therefore the judge dismissed the juror. The state’s case was handled by State Attorney E. W, Davis assisted Ly F. B. Cogler of Brooksville. The defense was represented by Col. R. W. Davis of Tampa and J. C. Davant of Brooksville. Col.Davis is not re- lated to the defendant. very POOR MAN! Ye editor sure appreciates the great improvements now being made on East Main street, It will make the rolling of his three baby car- riages so much easier on him.— Waynesville (N. (.) Courier. HOW TO ROLL IN THE PEOPLE Sanford’s Publicity Club is rais- ing $25,000 for advertising purposes —$5,000 to be expended each year for a period of five years. Secretary Bates realizes that a city which takes an advertising spurt one year and does not advertise the following year is not getting full returns for the money expended. The value of adver- tising lies in Keeping everlastingly at it—it accumulates value like a rolling snow ball accumulates snow. Tampa Board of Trade. Tallahassee and Leon county is ex- pending about $2,000 in advertising this winter through the New Era edition of the True Democrat which will be off the press this week. She could well afford to do as Sanford proposes and make it $5,000 per vear for five years. We confidently believe that such an expenditure would double the population of Leon county, for we have the best story on earth here to tell. And we could casily find the people to relate it to. Tallahassee Democrat TRAVELING MAN ARRESTED AT OCALA Ocala, Dec. 10.-—Yesterday in this ¢ity James W. Dougherty or J. Wil- bur Dougherty, was arrested on in- structions from the sheriff at Ozark, Ala, and a wire from Governor Gil- christ that the proper requisition papers had been prepared in his of- fice. Mr. Dougherty is a well Kknown traveling man and was registered at the Montezuma Hotel. He bears a good reputation and his friends are hoping that his arrest can be satis- factorily explained.
