FLATTERY WON HIM HOW CIRCUS MANAGER WORKED CLEMENT SCOTT. Great Dramatic Critic, Pleased with Praise of His Verses, Wrote Advance Notices for Barnum's "Greatest Show on Earth." Clement Scott, the late English dramatic critic, wrote verse in his leisurely presentations. By this verse he is not known, for his fame comes as one who spoke the final word concerning the merits of a play. He achieved a high reputation through his power of criticism and his authoritative expression of it. Of this he cared less than for his verses. Frank Perley, the veteran circus manager, found out this with good results for himself. Perley had charge of "the greatest show on earth." It is of him that the story was told that he stammered so badly that he had to be beaten by a manager for Barnum and not for Forepaugh, as he could pronounce the first name and not the other. ```markdown ``` Perley took "the greatest show" to England. It was an event. He determined that he would have a notice from Clement Scott, though his friends in London told him it was impossible. Scott would not condescend to notice a circus. Perley made a heavy wager that he would not only get a notice, but one in advance. A woman told him that Scott wrote verses, and that he was fond of his poetry than of his dramatic criticism; that he had published them and sent copies to his friends. After this information the circus manager called on the dramatic critic. He apologized for sending up his business card, saying that he had no personal ones with him. Scott was ley. Perley explained that he had not called on business, but wanted to see a man who had given him pleasure. Then he talked to Scott's verses with manager. He told him how as manager he traveled from one end of the world to another, and allways carried Scott's verses with him. Scott was in a melting mood, and Perley recited his quarrels with fervor. The next day the English public gasped with astonishment when it read a brilliant advance notice of America's "great circus" signed by Clement Scott.—Chicago Record-Herald. HOURS FOR VARIOUS DRINKS. Concictions Most Popular at Different Times of the Day. "No, we don't sell much beer in the morning," remarked George Mitchel, manager of a downtown cafe. "The ante-noontime drinks are usually restricted to cocktails and straight whiskies. Early in the morning it is generally cocktails alone that we sell to customers. "These early drinks don't seem to want anything else, and it is a fact that a glass of beer in the morning does seem a little heavy and not quite suited to the presumed needs of the stomach. About 10 o'clock, however, the demand for cocktails begins to slow up a little, and orders for whiskies put in an appearance, gradually inoculated toward noon, when it increasingly gives way quickly to the beer orders. From that time on until 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening beer is very nearly the exclusive order of our customers. "The taste of the late evening trade is decidedly variegated, and it is hard to say what class of drinks appears to be the most popular, but it is a noticeable fact that requests for wines, such drinks as absinthe, creme de menthe, and so forth, are not made frequently until about this time of the day. It is a curious thing the way this taste in drinks is certainly certain post-summer and I have no doubt that all men who are in a position to note it have observed the fact much the same as I have."—St. Louis Globe Democrat.

THE APPEAL. GIVES LESSONS IN CARVING. Young Woman Who Teaches Men an Invaluable Art. "There goes a woman," said the tall girl, according to the New York Press, "who is preparing to confer a blessed upon suffering mankind. If she succeeds in her present plans every man and also every woman who is interested in household matters will be given a year to canonize her as a saint." "What is she going to do?" asked the nice young man. "She is going to establish a carving class for prospective bridegrooms. I saw one of her circulars yesterday. She has 500 of them ready for the market, so evidently she means business. I also saw the list of possible patrons to whom she is going to send them. It is made up chiefly of women, and are about to enter the married state. She has a dozen mums pledged already." "The instruction will be thorough. Each man will be required to wrestle individually with all kinds of meats, from the Sunday morning ham to the Thanksgiving turkey, and not until he has learned to sever joints and slice cuts gracefully will be be granted a degree. Fifty cents a lesson is the price to be charged for this invaluable information. The ultimate cost will be regulated, of course, by the ingenuity of the puff. A man with a natural aptitude for carving will probably get through in six lessons. At that rate the education is dirt cheap, and I intend to urge every man of my acquaintance to avail himself of the opportunity to master a difficult art. A man who took a note book from his waistcoat pocket, "Who do you say the lady is?" he asked, shyly. The tall girl laughed, "Well, for goodness sake," she said, "is that what sails you? I have noticed that you were acting queerly, but I didn't know that that was the cause. Who is she? When is it to be?" GREAT LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY. Value of Animals in the United States Is in the Billions. Very few people have any idea of the magnitude of the live stock industry of the United States. If shown, by official government count, that the horses, mules, cattle, hogs, sheep and goats in the United States number more than 220,000,000 head, and that their value is, according to the same authority, more than $3,200,000,000 (see twelfth census of the Uptown States), the figures alone would have very little attraction or meaning to the majority of readers. But when told, in addition thereto, that these animals would make a solid column of more than eighty-nine abreast reaching from San Francisco to Boston, or if placed in single file, a solid procession that would reach nearly ten times around the earth, and further, that their value exceeds the total com- Science of Onychomancy Science of Onychomancy. The latest science is, undoubtedly, onychomancy, or the science of reading the fortune from the finger nails. According to the onychomancer, the tiny white speck that is not the result of chance, but from them can be read "the past, present and future." These innocent looking specks are almost as difficult to decipher as the lines on the palm from which the palmist tells us so much. Their size, shape and position are all taken into account. The specks nearest the tip of the finger relate to the past, those in the center to the present and those on the half moon to the future. As in palmistry, the right hand has to be read in conjunction with the left. But a feature which gives this science an advantage over all its rivals is that these fateful specks are constantly coming and going. Consequently a number of readings at different times must be given to reach an accurate one. It is not that they really not a recent one is traced a foreign source. The consort of a Continental sovereign came across an onychomancer at a well known watering place and was so delighted at his aptitude in expounding the unknown that she insisted that he initiate a member of her suite in all its mysteries. He did so, for a large consideration, and the pastime has been continued at the Continental court. "For My Sake."

How would you like a contest with a brown bear, or a wild cat? What would you think of a hunt for hippopotamus and giraffe in the wilds of Africa? All these big game thrills are to be had, by a man who is blessed, with a vivid imagination, in the Palace of Forestry, Fish and Game, at the world's fair. There are two kinds of hunters—those who kill game for the pure love of killing it, and those who regard the slaughter as a necessary evil and the one disagreeable part of hunting. The enjoyment in this mime game preserve, where all varieties of wild animals and fowls are brought together, to the instinctive sportsman the game in this building may serve as reminders of his own triumphs with the gun. Indeed this astonishing collection of stuffed and mounted animals is of universal interest, if one may judge by the crowds that are at all times assembled around the exhibits. Men and women in the museum and timid children are among the most interested of the spectators. These once terrible but now harmless creatures appeal to us as a living menagerie behind secure iron bars. Yet the animals in the game display possess one advantage over the cage. They are quite as safe, and they are in their natural setting. One of the most popular groups is the bear's raid on a honey tree. The mother bear, holding tight to the hollow trunk with her sharp claws, is defying the swarm of angry bees while she drops the sections of rich comb that she has collected. Education is one that appeals to every child. For some unexplained reason the bear is the first animal to invade the nursery. He is on the second page of the "A B C" book. The boy who wishes to frighten his little sister variably plays is a bear, and the bugaboo that gets bad children is sure to make that honey occupies in the childish mind too well established to be questioned. Another exhibit that both delights and perplexes the little people is that of the state of Washington. For variety of game this section is unsurpassed. There is everything from the wool seal, that lives under the water, to the eagle that lives above the clouds. There are deer, moose, bears and wolves; but the astonishing part of the display is the procession of small bears around the outer edge of the booth. It is a procession that never gets any farther, for each bear occupies exactly the same spot on which he stood at the opening of the exposition. They are all erect on their haunches, and each one carries an electric light bulb. One small boy hopes to habit of going on an annual bear hunt in the northwest remarked to his mother after he had contemplated the Washington section for some minutes: "Mamma, I think papa ought to go out there next time. The bears carry lanterns so that you can see them at night when they can't see you. It is ever so much safer than hunting by daylight." The hunter who was caught in the act of being pounced upon by a terrible bear, and was possessed of such courage and presence of mind that he warded off the attack with the butt of his gun, and has succeeded in warding it off since the opening of the exposition, is another favorite with the boys in the Palace of Forestry, Fish and Game. He is a splendid, sinew from HUNTER ATTACKIN In Palace of Hores tiersman, in buckskin hunting clothes, and his face betrays no terror as he looks into the angry eyes of his adversary. This is a display of bravery that would go to the heart of any how the most realistic of all the exhibits is that of Minnesota, a section in the northeast corner of the building. There is real earth, planted with real Defective Page MOOSE SPECIMEN OF MOOSE In Minnesota Exhibition Forestry, Fish and Game. trees and underbrush, and the walls of the booth are covered with a painted forest scene that carries out the illusion that the perfectly mounted animals are actually in their native woods. An enormous moose stalks along, followed by two others almost as large as himself. Hungry foxes snarl and assemble, and the badgers thrust their magical little faces out of their earth nails, just as the hunter has often seen them in the forests of the north. Both Colorado and New York have interesting collections of game animals and birds, mounted to look like "the real thing," and the unique Canada pavilion that is surmounted by a curtured bird composed of two large heads, simply alike with stuffed animals. The beautiful snow-white bears and the musk ox. SPECIMEN In Minnesota Exhibition with his stately consort, are the most attractive of the Canadian animals. England, which is supposed to have nothing but birds and relatively small game, displays the most amazing lot of animals. There is the handsome striped zebra that never was believed to be anywhere but in the circus and on the last page of the "A B C" book but that now is being crossed with the horse to produce the zebra, an animal that is as strong as the mule and has vastly more endurance. Who ever heard of hunting zebras in England? But then England extends all over the globe. This part of the British big game exhibit came from Africa. In the same section are the long, drawn-out necks and amusing little heads of the giraffe and his mate, and between them the head of the hippopotamus that would be the ugliest brute on earth if it were not for the wart hog close at hand. And the corner of the maze that are named according to the number of kinks in their horns, the koookoom having three and the duikeruck none at all. The New Fall Hat.

"You can tell her by the way she glances into the shop windows in which she can see her reflection. "It is always amusing to me to watch the women on the street at the first of the season. Those who have not yet purchased their new bonnets walk along without regard for the windows unless there is some display which attracts their attention. But it seems as though the mirror at home isn't sufficient for the ones who have just dunned their new headgear. Every possible means of reflection is turned up.

Dr. Geil, an American traveler, is in London after extensive explorations in Africa. "The pigmies," he says, "are the most dangerous savages I have ever met. They are very tough, fight as hard as the men. They are experts in poisons, which they use to advantage against their enemies. I think there N OF MOOSE: Forestry, Fish and Game. has been some confusion in the past between pigmies and dwarfs. The latter are found for the most part in the 'little forest' and on the outer edge of the 'great forest', whereas the pigmies are well within the 'great forest'. Pigmies and dwarfs are distinct in physiognomy. "Entering the great forest from the south end of the mountains of the Moon, after crossing the Semliki grasslands, I came across the pigmies in about three days' journey. It is a curious fact that the pigmies pitch their nose over half a day's journey of the big savages—the giant savages, as they are called. Although I had to sleep fully armed, I was never attacked. "It has been my invariable rule to treat natives as gentlemen. I find that the greatest savage appreciates kindness and consideration. In my journey through the forest I used compasses to guide me. The pigmies can find their way by simply looking at the trees. They are a wonderful race-active and intelligent—the Japanese of Central Africa." An Awkward Situation. George Borgfeldt, head of a wholesale bribe-a-brac firm, has had many an experience with his five hundred employees, some of which are amusing. It is the custom of the house that each buyer lunch with the especial salesman who has him in charge, at the expense of the house. One day Mr. Borgfeldt called an expert who overdrawn and hard to salesman to him. "Shafee," said he, "when was it you took Mr. So-and-so to out lunch? I see you have us charged up with a lunch for him." "Yesterday," replied the salesman readily. "What time?" "is the morning of the day" asserted the teacher without hesitation. Mr. Borgfeldt shook his head uncom prehendingly. "That is remarkably strange," declared he. "because it was yesterday in the middle of the day that I took him to lunch myself."—Philadelphia Ledger. The Lesser Evil. A pompous individual from the East, says a Texas newspaper, happened to be traveling in Western Texas and stopping at a hotel when trouble started among some cowboys, who prepared to conduct the argument with revolvers. "Stranger," said a Texan to the pompous man, "it would be a good idea fur you to lay down on the floor till this dispute is settled." "It does not comport with the dignity of a Boston gentleman of my profession," said the pompous gentleman, "to wallow in the dirt on the floor." "You may be right, stranger," answered the Texan, as he prepared to recline, "but my opinion is that you had better lose yer dignity fur the time bein' to have the daylights let into your system by a '44.'" ```markdown ``` THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring or clique. 6-It asks no support but the people's- Games Help to Form Life to a Great Extent, Says Writer. Concerning the educational value of games there can be no question, but the points in their favor as influencing and benefiting national character and national spirit are rarely so strikingly set forth as by Dr. Warre, the headmaster of Eton, in C. B. Fry's Magazine. Dr. Warre lays stress on the superiority of games as opposed to the cultivation of mere athletics. A nation's sports help in tracing the development of the nation's life, serving as markers of progress. "Rowing," for instance, according to Dr. Warre, "has played, as a serious business, no inconsiderable part in the great events of human history, and yet as a mere sport is inferior to none," says Dr. Warre. "And then, again, games are invaluable in school life as teaching mutual respect and self-restraint and endurance, along with quickness and observation and readiness of decision. These stand them in good stead in after life. Games help to form character to a wonderful extent and I do not know any means by which you can so quickly arrive at an estimate of human character, of what kind of people you can by watching people at games or engaged in any sport that calls for endurance, natience, celerity of mind and body. "I if I had to lead a forlorn hope I should like best to have with me some of my old shipmates, some of the steady and 'trusty men who never failed in the supreme struggle of a university race. That is what is meant, of course, by the hackneyed old saying of the battles of England being fought on the playing fields of Eton. It is absolutely true. You get down to the bedrock of human character by means of games. Any substitution of mechanics for games is inadvisable; the mental and moral being, quite as much as the physical, loses immensely by such substitution." MEANT TO LIVE LONG. Figures Seems to Show Man Should Exist, for a Century. There has been very little, if any, change in the duration of man's life since the days of the patriarchs; that is, some four or five thousand years ago. Every one did not attain to great age in those days, any more than they do to day, for various reasons stated in the Bible. Abraham lived to be 175 years old (but his two younger brothers appears to have died before him). Abraham's wife, Sarah, lived to be 127 years old; iasac lived to be 180; ishael lived to be 137; Jacob lived to be 147; Joseph lived to be 110; Kohath lived to be 133; his son, Joseph, lived to be 129; his nephew, Joseph, lived to be 129; Aaron was three years older than his brother, and died some years later before him; Joshua lived to be 110. The number of persons reported in 1900 as centenarians and over was: England, 170; Ireland, 578; Scotland, 46; Sweden, 10; Norway, 23; Belgium, 5; Denmark, 2; Switzerland, none; Spain, 401; Servia, 575; France, 213 This is not by any means a complete list, as only some countries are given, but it helps to prove that we should live to be 120 years or over, and that we do not do so was not the plan or intention of the Almighty.

"If you must know," said the senator upon being asked, "why, it was like this. I was in the Senate one day, working away, when two pages came up behind me. "He's from Kansas, whispered one. 'No,' said the other, 'I'm not so scary.' 'We'll prove it,' declared the first page. 'I'll go up behind him and give him a good, hard kick. If a jack rabbit don't jump out of his beard then you win.' "I'll leave it to anybody," concluded the senator, "If it wasn't time to cut off the beard."

Such Is Fame Sir John Millais when at the height of his popularity chaned one day to meet an old schoolmate named Popher whom he had known well in his days of poverty. He called to him by name. The stranger turned. "And who may you be?" asked Popher, who looked like a tramp. "Don't you remember me? I am Millais," said the great artist. "John Millais, sure enough!" said the tramp, noting the distinguished figure of the artist. "Well, to judge from your appearance, I suppose you gave up art long ago. What's your line, any way?

Very Little of the "Glorious Pump of War" in This Action—Men Kneel in Mud Hole to Return Shots of Enemy. There are some graphic touches in the report of Lieud. Fred S. Young in which he tells of a battle in Mindanao last summer. "About 4:30 this morning," he writes, "the enemy attacked us from across the river at our camp, just below the outpost near the Moro camp. The command turned out promptly and drove them off in less than fifteen minutes. As soon as the men could obtain breakfast I took thirty across the river to follow the trail if possible. We left camp and ran and marched to the enemy at 10:30. As we approached the enemy's position the trail opened into one more distinct in appearance, through a slough 800 feet from the enemy's position. This is the trail we were in during the fight which followed. We had gone some 750 yards on this trail and were, I found later, within fifty yards of the river when the guide stopped and held up his hand. Gampor, the Moro interpreter, who was with him, said to me, "Mucho helite." I kept the command quiet and sent the interpreter forward to reconnoiter. Our position as edge of the river did not find the twenty feet of ground to operate on. Although I had the high grass broken on either side of our line nothing but water was found. "We were cooped on this spot for forty-five minutes, during which time we fired and were fired upon increasingly. So soon as the enemy returned our fire my men were ordered to lie down and I kept them down. It was a brave man who stood up, as the enemy knew our position and had firm ground up and down the river on their side. They had positions from behind which they fired and they kept their cover well. Four of our men were wounded. The enemy's casualties were unknown. We fired over 1,500 rounds, and fifty of the enemy killed is considered a conservative estimate. The men on the river had long gained a high grass, and had to rise behind cover to do it. They all deserve great credit for their work. They were hit at various times, and not until the surgeon urgently recommended that they needed prompt attention did the command retire. "I spent thirty minutes trying to find a place from which I could flank the enemy, but found none; we could hardly get room to fire. The men were kneeling in a mud hole, half under water. We seemed to be on the ground, but on our side when the order was finally given to retire we had silenced the enemy's fire, and the command was ordered to fire volleys. There seemed to be no way to cross the river, and as much as I desired to actually stand upon the enemy's ground, we had to console ourselves with a view from our position, and we were wounded on litters, and they carried well. The men used bolos through the jungles and literally cut our way back to camp." He Know the Game Too Well "There was a very rich old man in Washington," said "Jack" Adamz, "whose daughter was in love with a young man about town. The old man consented to ask the suitor to dinner to see for himself if he had any bad habits. "All went well until the third course, when the old man needed some salt. He asked for it, whereupon the young man pressed his thumb and second finger gently but firmly around the bottom of the shaker, laid his finger as firmly on the top, set it carefully down in front of the old man, then little push toward him in the way in which practiced manipulate a pile of poker chips.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26. 1904. Our attention has been called to the fact that T. B. Morton, Esq., of San Francisco, Cal., in his contribution to our symposium of Nov. 5th on: "Why Afro-Americans Should support Roosevelt and Fairbanks" is made to appear unduly discontentous or familiar in his reference to President Roosevelt. The types made him say: "Theodore is in a class all by himself, etc." The surname of the President was inadvertently omitted by the proofreader, and is to blame for the seeming familiarity with which Mr. Morton would not be guilty of intentionally, and we take great pleasure in making this correction in justice to the gentleman. Mary Cortes, aged seventeen, of Hoboken. N. J., was kissed by a man and thereupon took carbolic acid and killed herself. We have often heard of unkissed women killing themselves, but this is the first instance which has come to our notice where a girl killed herself because she was kissed. The kisser must have been an awful specimen of humanity to cause a 17-year-old girl to conclude that life was not worth living after an oscillatory sauce with him. It will be the proper caper for him to kill himself. We will venture the assertion that there were more prayers of thanksgiving offered to God on last Thursday by Afro-Americans, thankful for the election of Roosevelt than have asended to the Throne of Grace on Thanksgiving Day for many years. Truly we have more to be thankful for that he was elected than can be ingenued, and with the rest of the thankful we reverently say, we thank Thee, oh Lord. We are much pleased to find that W. Ellis, who was suspected of being instrumental in the mysterious death of F. Keat Loomis at sea a few months ago, was exonerated by the state department at Washington. We had thought the fact that he was an Afro-American would be very detrimental, but it seems that he has been able to even surmount that obstacle to fair treatment. FIVE CLASGE3 OF TORPEDOES All Equally Deadly if Only They Hit the Mark. There are five classes of corpseoids. The earliest form was a stationary submarine mine, usually exploded beneath a ship by actual contact. Such mines are still used for harbor defense, but sometimes they are fired by mechanical means from shore at the moment a hostile vessel is passing over them. The spar torpedo will still resist the attacks of an explosive charge carried at the end of a long spar in a boat's bows, the craft being rowed close up to the doomed vessel and the charge exploded. The towing torpedo, as its name implies, was towed along and maneuvered so as to explode underneath an enemy's vessel, this kind being in turn followed by the true self-propelling torpedo, the Whitehead, now in position, to the rear of the ship. The need be noticed is the Brennan, whose movements can be controlled from the shore. ALL WANTED NOISY CLOCKS. Manufacturer Had to Meet Demand of Savages. A clockmaker discovered that a rival was sending out large stocks of cheap clocks to the heart of Africa, and doing good business with them. He spent a large sum in making better clocks and shipped thousands of them to the same market. Strange things happened; all through his rival; turning out a cheap and inaccurate timepiece, was selling all he could make. Finally he found a key to the mystery. Savages like noise. The clocks made by the first exporter had a particularly loud and aggressive tick. His competitor had made a better clock, but it was almost noiseless, and the savages would have none of it. The next cargo of clocks which were sent to the market ticked louder than anything ever heard there, and they sold like pink lemonade at a circus. Value of Torpedoes Torpedo range is now about 2,000 yards. The improvements which are being made, it is estimated, will nearly double this, and that before very long. This means that when two fleets approach each other in order of battle—usually in line ahead with ships 400 yards apart, and the lines making an angle to one another, so that as many guns can be brought to bear as possible—torpedo firing will begin when the intervening distance is about two miles. This is, if anything, beyond effective fighting range of guns. As the distance increases the accuracy of the flight of the torpedo increases, and the combat situation increases that of the gun projectiles. What tactics are to be used to meet these new conditions is not yet assured, but that the chances of hits with the torpedoes are very large—one in three under the conditions above stated—is well recognized.—Review of Reviews.

The Uplift will denounce us for saying it, but he bears a happiness in his face exceeding that seen in the face of the lover, or the young mother with the baby in her arms. The boy with the pup (again, apologies to the boy no jealousy, fears the apprehension; the pup is his, and he is its. The neighbor is him, him, and he has something at last that lives him with, saying "Don't every five minutes, in ticketing the Happy Ones, put the boy with the pup at the head—Atchison (Kan.) Globe. Clever French Rogues. Among the French coins which are no longer current are, as is well known, those of a less value than 5 francs, struck prior to 1852, and nearly everybody has had a difficulty in making them circulate. But now their progress has been made comparatively easy and that by a very simple means. The head of Napoleon III was uncrowned and that rendered them easy to be distinguished. Some ingenious individuals have undertaken the coronation ceremony by means of an engraving tool, and unless great attention is paid it is very difficult to tell them from the others. Engineering Triumph. The Oroyo railroad, which now runs from Callao to the gold fields of Cerro de Paso, is considered one of the wonders in the Peruvian world. Commencing in Callao, it ascends the narrow valley of the Rimac, rising nearly 5,000 feet in the first fifty-six miles. Thence, it goes through the intricate gorges of the Sierrares till it tunnels the Andes at an altitude of 15,645 feet, the highest point in the world when it is moved by steam. This elevation is reached in seventy-eight miles. Woman Pastor. Miss Saffron, who recently resigned the pastorate of a Unitarian church in Sioux City, held it fourteen years, her congregation being the largest, of that denomination in Iowa. WRAPS AND GOWNS Wrinkle About Portieres. To prevent portieres catching under. Millinery. To prevent portieres catching underneath the door when opened quickly, screw a small ring (such as are used for picture frames) into the center of the door frame, to this fasten a blind cord sufficient to reach to bottom of curtain. Put another ring in the center of the door at the top, thread the cord through and tasten to the bottom of the curtain, and as the door is opened so the curtain rises. WHILE THE TEA DREWS Bolero lines, to be at all modish, must cling close to the figure. One handsome black velvet gown had applique of white kid for trimming. Moleskin will certainly be worn by those who purchased garments thereof last winter. Broad wavs of pink and blue velvet, covered with glittering sequins, are shown for the hair. A questionable fad is a slender watch chain encircling the waist and suspending the watch in front. Silk belts that match the gown are draped tight without allowing delineating the waist. There was never a more favorable time to get out odd bits of old trimming and use them to good advantage. Narrow toes have broadened and wrist toes have narrowed and the compromise is a sensible and pleasing width. Worn at Chicago Horse Show. An effective and elaborate white gown in India lawn and lace insertion, seen at the Chicago horse show, had a narrow pointed bodice girdle and above the girdle were puffs of lace and the material, which fitted the tight-fitting lining perfectly. This extended to the line of a yoke, where a lace bertha was set about the shoulders. The sleeves were made of puffs of the lawn and lace and ended at the elbow. The hats worn at the horse show were very elaborate, the Gainsborough. Reynolds and Vieira style predominating. Black hats with colored plumes on the much in evidence, the rage for evening coats. There are several kinds, and inerty and chiffon velvets are deemed the most desirable—Chicago Record Herald. lessly as to appear to have dropped on the crown accidentally. On a slim, fair trial that hat would have been attractive, but topping a figure inclined to embondup and face fat and good-natured, as was its unhappy destiny, it was—well, out of place. --- Blouse or Shirt Waist. This shirt waist will be found most excellent for all the waistings of the season, cotton, linen, silk and wool, and as is smart as it is simple, besides suiting stout figures well, there being no greater mistake extant than the theory that such are at their best in plain waists. The wide tucks at the front that give ample fulness below the stitchings, and the broad at the center, and the narrow and desirie at the center, are the most satisfactorily with the plain back. The model is made of cheviot, white with lines of blue, and is worn with a blue linen stock. But this last can be anything one may prefer, or can be omitted altogether in favor of ribbon tied in a big bow, although it really is admirable both for this special waist and as a model for the odd ones of which there are no other. The waist is made with fronts and back that are fitted by means of shoulder and under-arm seams, and is gathered at the waist line, the back being drawn down smoothly, the fronts made to blouse over the belt. The sleeves are the accepted ones of the season, and are finished with straight cuffs, and the shaped stock finishes the neck. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 4 1/4" yards 21 inches wide, 4 yards wide, 4 inches wide, with 1/4" width of any width for stock. Corday Hat Stylish. The Corday hat is pre-eminently stylish, but a thing of horror unless worn by the right. woman. A hat of this kind recently noted was of pale blue chenille, with ruffles of pale blue taffeta. In the chenille crown large squares were wrought by means of white strands woven in. Besides the ruffles turning downward outside, what ought to have been the brim, the hat boasted for its sole decoration a pale blue pale bones—a creation of the milliner's art, which was set on so careful Sleeves Must Be Right. The changes in this year's styles seem to commemorate on sleeves. Skirts are grown wider, bodices more tight-fitting, but both these changes are brought about in a gradual way. But the sleeves. A sown is "made" if the sleeves are right, and spilled if they're just a little bit wrong. Some of the prettiest of the sleeves on the evening gowns are plain, tight-fitting to the elbow, where they flare out prettily in two or three very full ruffles of lace. A sleeve of little ruffles to the elbows, where the last ruffle widens, is another extremely good fit. Coat sleeves run from the plain sleeve, with just a little fullness at the shoulder, to elaborate affairs, trimmed up in all sorts of daring, unusual ways. Weapon for Policeman A Chicago man has combined a policeman's club and revolver in one weapon, and the combination is so arranged that in his peaceful moments close scrutiny alone would show the officer to be armed with anything other than the old-fashioned race. The club, which is of ordinary appearance, comprises a handle portion and a club portion, screwed together. The handle carries a hammer or trigger mechanism, and when desired the handle and club may be separated and a revolver cylinder applied between them, thus converting the mace into a revolver. Misses' Skirt with Shirred or Plain Yoke Full skirts that fall in soft, graceful folds appear to gain in favor day by day and are peculiarly becoming to young girls. This one can be gathered at the upper edge to form puff shirrings, or once only and joined to a contrasting yoke, but in either case the fullness is made to form box plaits at the lower edge. The model is made of embroidered batiste, with a band of heavy lace appliqué, but all the pretty soft, stuffs—silk, wool, cotton and linen—are equally appropriate. The shirred yoke is much liked and is always pretty when the figure is slender, but when, as often is the case in young girls, additional bulls at the belt is to be added, the plain yoke mads of lace or of other fancy material is to be preferred. The shirt is cut in one circular piece, straight lengths of the material being sewed together to give the necessary width, and when shirred is arranged over the foundation that also serves for the plain yoke when shirring are not used. The quantity of material required for a shirt is $6\frac{1}{2}$ yards 21 inches wide, 5 yards 27 inches wide, or $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards 44 inches wide, with $4\frac{1}{2}$ yards of appliqué and $1\frac{1}{2}$ yard of all-over lace when yoke is used. Again and again, it has been prophesied that the elegant blouses must be put one side, but as yet practical women will not give them up. The inbetween blouses, dressy enough for the orate lunches, but high-necked and long sleeved, seem to get prettier and prettier. The loveliest of them all are made of those exquisite flowered silks—with shadowy flowers that fade in out of the background in so artistic a way. Those exquisite soft crepes with flower prints are charming draped and trimmed with tiny hand runs, or puffs, or lace. Soft drapy silks are very good—but so are stiff silks, and a combination of both. The soft chiffon falles, in exquisitely soft shades of pink, or beautiful blouses, let, make up in silk, beautiful blouses, but, besides white, is being used a great deal. Albatross, silk-and-wool stuff, soft wool crepes and a dozen others are made up into as attractive blouses, in their way, as the silks are in theirs. Magnificent Evening Coats. One of the novelties of the season in the way of an evening coat is cut on the lines of a mandarin coat, richly embroidered in colors and gold thread and throughout with Chinese sable. This sable is even rarer than the Russian fur and is less expensive. It has a very long map and is in two distinct colors: a rich mouse skin and a pelt, and cinnamon brown at the tip. Among the newest evening coats are those made of flowered satins and silks. They are quite full around the skirts and profusely decorated with lace and touches of fur. A Pretty Fall Fashion. A pretty fashion which has been started of late is that of wearing cockades of colored or patterned fabric on the corsage rather than the cap, and the other, on the right side at the waist line. They are large and are generally of a contrasting color to that of the gown with which they are worn. Rosettes of burnt orange velvet make an exceedingly pretty accompaniment to a smart afternoon coat of brown plisse chiffon. Smart Skirts Circular-shaped skirts, cut bias, with matched edges at the center of the front, are quite smart or checked materials. Checked models particularly well when so developed. The hat scarf differs from the veil in that it is wound about the hat, never over the face. New scarfs are of lace in white, black, white and colors, with embroidery in self color and contrasting colors. Ribbons of all descriptions are to be used upon the new hats. Among the new ribbons are the plaids, the moire and double-faced colorings, hats and tafeta. The high crown will lead in the large hats, the Directore and the Gainesborough being the most popular. The English round hat will be a favored hat this season. With the Housewife To remove rust from steel cover the article with sweet oil and leave it for two or three days, then dust it thickly with finely powdered, unslaked lime and rub till the rust disappears. Lemon juice will remove most stains from the hands and grease from kitchen tables. This being the case, it is well to save the squeezed-out lumps used in cooking for cleansing purposes. Flatirons should be washed every week and always kept in a clean, dry place. Few housekeepers use sufficient wax in ironing. Do not allow your irons to become red hot, as they will never again retain the heat. To remove iron stains on marble apply to them a mixture of oxalic acid and methylated spirits, leave it on a short-time and then rub dry with a soft cloth. Lemon juice will sometimes, remove the stains. When winds blow and there is frost in the air put handkerchiefs, collars, and all small articles in the wash to dry and all small articles in the wash to spared whipping by the wind, they will freeze dry and be quickly gathered for ironing. A most modish trimming for taffeta dresses is supplied by narrow velvet ribbon. A chameleon silk, sheening blue and crimson and berried from head to foot, has each ruffle trimmed with four rows of crimson velvet ribbon. the widest stripe half an inch wide and the narrowest scarcely an eighth. It is not permitted to put these ribbon trimming on by machine, either; they must be painstakingly put on by hand. A charming three-quarter-length loose coat in brownish yellow liberty velvet is a cross between a surplice and a kimono shape. It is made in one piece over the shoulders, that is, the sleeves are a part of the garment proper. It has a square yoke of heavy lace and is opened down the back and laid in inverted position the space between the filling film with a wide band of irish crochet mounted on white satin. About the bottom is a wide band of the Irish crochet about six inches deep, which is in turn edged with a three-inch band of sable. The lace runs down the sides of the front, as does the fur, which is finished by a full jabot of plaited mousseline de soie. Mastic Taffeta and Lace. Coats of light-colored as well as black taffeta are among the smartest of the garments, and are neat charming. The model shown in the lovely shade known as mastic, trimmed with applique of heavy cervi lace and large dull gold buttons, but ```markdown ``` there are many bandings that are equally good in style. Fancy braids are many and oriental embroideries are exceedingly handsome in quiet tones. The coat is eminently simple and is loose and ample, with a big becoming collar at the neck. To make it for a girl 10 years of age will be required 5 yards of material 27, 3½ yards 44, or 2½ yards 52 inches wide. About Veils. In black and white there are many arrangements. In colors the dot invariably matches the tint of the veil. Cheffilles are the favorite, though embroidered and velvet dots are seen. Automobile veils are not now so often seen gathered on a small circular frame. For Ceremonious Occasions. For ceremonious gowns the most popular colors are white, wine, mastic, putty and chalk, and all of the new silks and veilings may be found in these shades.

James; "Our Thanksgiving," Dr. D. V. Turner; "Our Prosperity," Mr. C. E. James; "Our Agriculture," Mr. Elmo Turner; "Our Wives," Mr. F. L. McGhee.

Immediately"she began to pour out her troubles."Oh, Dr. Shrady," she exclaimed, "I'm completely exhausted. I can hardly walk. What shall I take? "Take?" said the doctor suavely, as she waited breathlessly for a prescription, "you might take a cab." Would Have It in the Spring. "Dock" Squires was a queer old "yarb" doctor of decidedly limited education, who flourished in New England a good many years ago. One day some one said to him: "See here, Dock, have you any diploma?"

While he was in the office old Ebenezer Francis, a man said to be worth $8,000,000, then the richest man in New England, came to consult him about a small claim, against some neighbor. Fletcher interrupted his consultation with my friend and listened to Mr. Francis's story. In those days parties could not be witnesses in their own cases. Fletcher advised his client that, although he had an excellent case, the evidence at his command was not sufficient to prove it, and advised against bringing an action. Francis, who was quite avaricious, left the office with a heavy heart. When he had gone Fletcher turned to my friend and said: "Isn't it pitiful, sir, to see an old critter wandering about our streets destitute of proof?"—George F. Hoar, in Scribner. PENS. INKS AND PAPER. Some Pointers About Three Important Materials. Character is supposed to be revealed by handwriting, but the character of most script is very dependent on the style of pen which the writer prefers. A stukt pen gives a more decided and candid air to a page than is possible with a fine, needle-pointed pen, and if there lingers in the world any old-fashioned person who uses the quill of her grandmother, then is her writing bold, free and most quaint individual. Paper should be white, moderately thick, and unruled, and the gentlewoman is studious to avoid eccentricities of size and shape. Her monogram or the name of her residence or her street and number may be engraved at the top of the sheet. Ink must be always black, and the writing consequently legible. Nobody with the least claim to be regarded as aware of good form ever uses pale ink, and colored inks are ruled cut as signs of eccentricity. automobbe One of the features of the reliability trials by the London Automobile Club at the Crystal Palace was a dust "trial." At three points in the banked-up circular cycle track half the roadway was covered with an inch layer of flour mill sweepings. One automobile acted as pilot to the competing car, in order that the speed, which was approximately thirty miles an hour, might be gauged, and as the competing car flew through the flour two cameras recorded the cloud of "dust." The lesson taught by the dust trial was that the lower and more cumbersome the gear and boxes under the body of the car the greater is the dust raised. Which Was the Corruptor? There is a family that has recently had presented to it a very brilliant parrot that is a great talker. The bird was presented to the family by a sea captain, and as a gift it is greatly prized. But lately it has become a thorn in the side of the lady of the house, who has a bright little son, 7 years old. The other day she said to a neighbor: "I am afraid we shall have to get rid of that parrot—that is, as soon as I am sure of one thing." "What is that?" asked the neighbor. "Whether Johnny is corrupting the parrot or the parrot is corrupting ADDRESS 510 BRADLEY BUILDING 17 E. 5th St. ST.

The depletion of forests in the United States is the cause for the recent attention which has been given to timber lands in Mexico. This country has vast tracts of valuable timber which only await the advent of the railroads to make them of enormous commercial value. In the southern part of the republic the hard woods, such as mahogany, ebony and cedar, have long been exploited and the supply is growing very limited within the access of transportation facilities. Large forests of such timber still exist, however, in the more remote sections. In the central and northern parts of the republic there are large tracts of soft pine, oak and miscellaneous varieties, especially on the western slope of the central mountain range, where there are as yet almost no transportation facilities, and along a wide strip of land extending wastard from the gulf coast. BEGINNING OF NOTABLE ELM. Fine Tree From Slip Planted by Revolutionary Hero. A magnificent elm tree on the Walter Wellington estate. in the east part of Lexington, dates from 1732, and was planted by the father of Jonathan Harrington, who was a small drummer boy in the revolutionary war. The boy's father was a farmer and sold his produce in Salem. On returning home from market one day the horse was weary and lagging in his gait; so to urge him along Farmer Harrington plucked a small sapling elm from the roadside to encourage a swifer gait. When he got home the sapling was so straight and evidently alive that he put it in the ground. The switch has become the great tree that attracts notice for its size and fine proportions by every sightseeer who comes to this historic town—Boston Transcript. Gondolas and Gondoliers. A tourist writes: "Like most characteristic objects appertaining to Venice, the gondola is suitable to the place. Even as the hansom cab suits London or the rickshaw suits Japan or the jaunting car suits Ireland, so the gondola is the vessel for Venice. You cannot separate the lagoon from the gondola. One completes the other." The gondolier is a man given to many oaths and imprecations, of which the most terrible is, "Thy saint is a rascal who does not know how to make a decent miracle." The gondoliers are not as much given as they used to be to the singing of the sonorous verses of Tasso by moonlight in their musical patols. Occasionally an outburst of melody is secured by a traveler's coins and there is always singing, playing and dancing at the inevitable festa. Privileged Guest. Of a prominent lecturer of London an acquaintance says: "On one occasion he was the guest of a friend of mine, a busy Liverpool merchant, and when the popular lecturer returned from the hall he asked for all sorts of impossible dishes and liquid concoctions peculiar to abstainers—a demand which somewhat upset the routine of the household. When in bed his nervous temperament was tried; he could not bear the ticking of the clocks, so he paraded the house in the small hours of the morning and stopped them all. In consequence of this the servants had to be roused by violent bell-ringing; but the guest was not to be distressed, so he arose again and ordered the servants back to their rooms and locked them in and then went back to bed." When first the crocus thrusts its point of gold Up through the still snow-drifted gar- old. And folded green things in dim woods unclose The skinned spears, a sudden tremor goes Into my veins and makes me kith and toy. To eycyp wild-born thing that thrills and blows. Sitting beside this crumbling sea-conl Here in the city's ceaseless roar and din. Far from the bramble paths I used to know. Far from the rustling brooks that slip and shine Where the Neponset alders take their I share the tremors sense of bud and brier And in articulate edges of the vine, =Thomas Bailey Aldrich. Only One at Home. Philip Verrill Mighels, the writer, being in London not long ago, informed Mrs. Mighels one morning that he had several errands, and would not be back for several hours. He was going to see a lawyer, a doctor, and a literary agent, and after his business was attended to, he would gratify an old wish of his and go to see Goldmith's grave. After a very brief period, to Mrs. Mighel's surprise, he returned. "Why," exclaimed his wife, "how did you accomplish so much in such a short time?" "Because," said Mr. Mighels, "the lawyer, the doctor and the literary agent were all out. The only one in was Goldmith." Reindeer Valuable Mail Carriers Reindeer Valuable Mail Carriers. The capacity of the reindeer for team work is remarkable. His hoops are very broad and do not penetrate the snow crusts. His average weight is about 400 pounds. He will swiftly draw a sled carrying 600 pounds, and with this load can cover thirty, fifty, and even ninety miles a day. The reindeer teams now carry the mails from Kotzebue to Point Barrow, a distance of 650 miles—the most northerly post route in the world. No food is carried for the deer. Another Man Ahead of Him. An Irishman who had been out of a job many weeks found in the river that flowed through his town the body of the keeper of the railroad bridge. He immediately betook himself to the superintendent of the division and applied for the vacated job, saying that he had seen the body of the former keeper in the river. "Sorry!" said the superintendent, briefly; "the place has been filled. We gave it to the man who saw him fall in."— Is in the selection of herds and the care of the milk on the farm; then a critical inspection of the milk at our skimming stations, doubtful quality cream doesn't go into the "Star Brand" vat.
