Aldrich could not remember whether there was a meeting of members of the finance committee to discuss the fact that he went to the White House and talked to the president about thp Illinois matter. The witness could not remember how Hines happened to be waiting at his home In Washington while he went to the president. In Ms testimony HInB said he had gone to Aldrlch'B home In the Aldrich auto and had waited for Aldrich to return from the White House. Aldrich denied having sent any telegrams to any one regarding the president's attitude toward Lorimer, and had never requested the President to end a telegram urging Lorlmer's election. Aldrich said Lorlmer's attitude on the tariff questions had not occurred to him during those conferences with Hines. Aldrich did not wish to go Into detail regarding his conversation with the president with reference to Lorimer. He did not intend Hines should go back to Illinois and use the president's name in favor of Lorimer. When asked if ho was In friendly relations with Hopkins, Aldrich replied diplomatically "We were both senators," but expressed a preference not to tell the committee of matters of personal relations. The witness became somewhat nettled at some of the questions fired by Kenyon of Iowa, but when a recess was taken Kenyon grabbed Aldrich by the hand and told him be was a splendid witness. i Perpetual Motion. !

Fake Squaws, But Genuine "Navajos." How It Was FormerlyMade by the Painstaking' Squaws and Why tne Genuine

Spec

So Costly

THE blanket made by the swarthy Navajo squaw was one of the miracles of sborlglnal Industry. For durability and rough beauty It has earned a worldwide reputation. Unfortunately, however. Just as the Navajos themselves stole the art of blanket weaving from the Zunl and Hopl Indians, so has modern commerce taken possession of the field so long occupied by the Navajos. and the result Is that the Cenulne Navajo blanket is almost unobtainable to-day, although it will ever remain an object of interest to Americans. . . It was woven upon a crude and clumsy hand loom that no one but a barbarian would attempt to manipulate, with threads spun by means of a distaff whose purpose a white workman would hardly be able to fathom. Yet la its own phere It has no equal. With a beauty that Is wholly barbaric, owing nothing to the standards of taste prevalent In civilized communities. It combines a durability that Is next to everlasting. Its superiority In its field Is as Unquestioned as that af the famous rugs of Bokhara and Teheran In theirs. So It happens that the artifacts f the slattern squaws of the harsa and forbidding desert of Arizona are shipped all over the civilized world for the decoration and adornment of homes of culture and refinement This Is. perhaps, the on product of aboriginal American art and Industry that has won for It.elf an enduring place In modern

ROB JEWELRY STORE And Escape with a Tray of Diamonds.

(Xatlonal News Association) Kansas City, July 20. Two armed robbers held up the proprietor and clerk of a Franklin Jewelry store, and took a tray of diamond rings valued at $1,000 and fled. Franklin in pur-, suit fired a shot probably fatally wounding a bystander. One robber was captured. The one with the booty escaped. ANIMALS THAT WEEP. Dugong Tear Preserved by the Ma lays as Love Charm. While the act of luughiug may be peculiar to man. the arue in not true of weepiug. which, if we are to accept the testimony of a French usturalist. is a manifestation of emotion that is met with In divers animals. It Is snid that the creatures that weep most easily are the ruminants, with whom the act is so well known that It has given rise to trivial but accurate expression, "to weep like a calf." All hunters know that the stag weeps, and we are also told that the bear sheds teurs when it comes to u consciousness of Its lust hour. The giraffe Is not less sensitive and regards with tearful eyes the hunter who has wounded It. This animal also weeps through downright nostalgia. Dogs also are held to be lachrymose, and the same holds in the case of certain monkeys. Sparrrnao states the elephant sheds tears when wounded or when It perceives ,tbat it cauuot escape. Aquatic animals, too. It appears, are able to weep. Thus, many authorities agree, dolphins at the moment of deatli draw deep sighs and shed tears abundantly. A young female seal was observed to weep when teased by a snllor. St. Hllaire and Cuvier recount, on the authority of the Malays, that when a young dugong is captured the mother Is sure to be taken also. The little ones then cry out and shed tears. These tears are collected with great care by the Malays and are preserved as a charm that Is certain to render a lover's affection lasting. New York Press. Queen Mary is a most wonderful woman, so Mr. Frederick Townsend Marin upon being Interviewed, assures his fellow-countrymen; adding, in support of his testimony: "I knew her children's governess well and she tells me" so and so. Are civilised life. Possibly the basketry of some of the desert tribes deserves to be placed in the same category, but this is doubtful. Ages before the white man made his appearance In the western world the Zunl and Hopi Indians wove blankets, belts, ceremonial robes and other articles of use and adornment, using the fibers of the cotton plant, which they cultivated to a considerable extent, those of the cottonwood tree, the fur of rabbits and other animals, and the feathers of birds, as textile materials. From the Zuni and Hopl communities the nomadic Navajos acquired looms and learned the art of weaving, but did not improve it In the least, or even practice it to any great extent until the introduction of sheep and goats by the Spaniards provided an abundance of superior textile materials. Of all varieties of Navajo blankets the Serape Navajo is the most highly prized. These are, in fact, almost prieelesr. 'fhey may well be so, as each one cost a human life. They were the first wool blankets woven by the Navajos. The materials were obtained (not Invariably, but as a rule) by killing Spanish soldiers, stealing their cloaks of hard-twisted bayeta cloth, raveling out the strands and wearing them over again, in accordance with their own ideas, upon their own looms. Of course, the supply of soldiers who could be killed, and consequently the supply of cloaks that could be stolen, was limited. So

Mr. Russell added all the doubt he could to the general situation by refusing to make any statement as to the result of his visit. Russell was the guest of John T.

The Passing-of the Navaj ilankef

One of the Trading Stores on the necessity of making a living too urgent to permit them to make of their work a labor of love. This is the whole secret of the perfection of Navajo blankets at their best the prodigal expenditure of time and patience of which the Indian workers are capable. ThiB Is true, also, of Indian basketry and other artifacts. The Indian cares not at all how long It takes for the completion of a task. If not driven by necessity, the aboriginal worker will labor for days with no result that the eye can detect from day to day, taking weeks or months for the completion of a task that the white toiler would expect to finish in a few hours. The blanket weaver copies her design from no pattern, but weaves it "out of her bead.'' Hence there Is often a lack of symmetry or balance that white critics find objectionable. It Is. however, the Indian way, and is equally noticeable in the basketry and pottery of the redskins. Most of the designs used' have a .symbolic meaning, but in nine cases out of ten these are employed without reference to their symholio significance. The squaws used Hopl, Zunl and Apache designs as freely as those that used to be peculiar to their own people. Similarly they made just as free with patterns they happened to see and like on the white man's calicos and other fabrics as with those of aboriginal origin. What are known as "lightning designs" are most popular with the whites. These are sometimes made by zig-zag black or red stripes upon a white ground, or by a skillful employment of the diamond exclusively, in different colors- The chiefs design. In the palmy days of the "tribe, was reserved exclusively for shamans and bead men of the tribe. It consists of black and white stripes, among which are woven diamonds representing clouds, thunder and lightning. No symbol is more frequently employed by the Navajo blanket weavers than the swastika or the cross in some form. This use of the cross (common to all the tribes) arose naturally and Inevitably, and cannot be referred (as some have tried to refer it) to any Old World religious origin, antedating the axrival of the Spaniards. Colors were formerly employed by the Navajos. In blanket wearing -as ta other arts, with some refer

the Navajo Reservation, ence to their symbolic meaning. In representations applicable to songs, ceremonies, prayers and legends pertaining to the surface of the earth, or to celestial regions, being places of life snd happiness, white symbolized the East, blue the South, yellow the West, black the north, white and black the Lover, and blue the Upper. Representations pertaining to the under world, to the regions of danger, death and witchcraft, where evil spirits, witches snd wizards dwell, use a somewhat different symbolism, in which black . stands for the East, blue for the South, yellow for the West and white for the North, with nothing for Upper and Lower, there being no escape either up or down from the abodes of darkness. The colors again hare meanings entirely apart from locality, ao that the employment of symbolic colors and symbolic designs may give to the blanket a highly complex meaning. The squaws used vegetable dyes exclusively, and produced colors that were practically everlasting, as well as very vivid. Nowadays' aniline dyes are sometimes used. So the purchaser of the modern blanket will do well to confine himself to blanket showing only the natural wool colors of black, white and gray, or to patronize only the moat reliable houses. If he takes care to see that cotton chain has sot been employes that the fabric Is closely woven and heavy enough to have euffcient "body." and if he is sure (by ocular evidence or the word of a really reliable reservation trader) that It In really the work of a competent squaw and not an Imitation made in Philadelphia or elsewhere, the purchaser of a Navajo blanket has an article that will hold water as if made of rubber, that win retain its colors as long aa a shred is left, and- that will last for a century ot hard usage.
