| and the strength OF Hercules, with the
| wicketlness Of Mana. She was known as
''The Woman with the iron Jaw" She
commanded largo salary, and was the
| principal attraction Of every show with
which she travelled. One day she took as
| sudden freak as the wicked and volup-
tuons Mana. and refused to appear any
more in public. She settled down in the
little town Of Tyner, some eight or ten
miles from Lcbweder Huckleberry marsh,
| lived a dccorous life joined church and
| married. She soon tired Of the matrimo-
nial career, and four years ago, when she
| first made her appearance at the marsh,
| she became the widest of the wild ones
there. Her strength. dash and utter
| abandon won her by common consent the
title Of ''Huckleberry Queen" A score
of times her title has been disputed, and
| She has asserted her assumed rights by
sheer force of her individual strength. She
has had more contests than any prize
fighter, and has never been whipped. Last
| summer she drew two rcvolvers on two
Chicago rowdies, who attemptad undue
liberties with one of her female friends.
The men were quick enough to knock tho
revolvers from her hands, but she knocked
them both down and brought them to terl.s.
Her conduct frightened her husband INTO
running away last season, but she did not
mourn his absence. On tho contrary, she
picked up green country youth named
Falkenberg, proposed to him, and, against
his feeble resistance, marched him out to
Justice Schaffer's Office to have the cerc-
mony performed 1t was after midnight
when they got there. The justice is a
bachelor and sleeps in his office She kick
ed the door open and ordered the frighten-
ed Justice out of bed. He attempted to
put on his clothes before striking light,
but she told BIN to ''dash" that formality,
lighted the lamp herself, and forced tho
Justice to marry her to Falkcnberg, while
he stood shivering i'll that single garment on
which hotel clerks are wont to display their
diamonds. This wedding took place last
November, but this summer she found it u
marriage of Inconvenience, as it interfercd
with her wild life, and she bought this
second husbands's absence with a suit of
clothes. Despite her rough, wild life and
immoderatc drinking, the "Hucklebcrry
Queen" is still a handsome woman. Sun
day is always gala day at this marsh, and
at the stamping ground recently special at
fractions were offered. There were a
walking match, greased-polc climbing,
rifle targctshooting, a grcascd-pig chase
and The Hucklcberry qlccn lifted by her
teeth chair with a man weighing $50
pounds seated in 1t. There was dancing
platform, where all day long prostitutes
and their associates danced to execrable
music and drank themselves into the widest
revclry.

A New Fashion,

IL is fashionable now to stoop. This is
not metaphor, meaning that women are
little more than ever STOPPING TO frivollty,
but the literal truth. The midsummer
freak of metropolitan bellies is nothing less
than to curve their spines and droop their
shoulders, until they look like hopeless
consumptiycs. A girl with naturally
flat breast Is considered mighty lucky. ard
she no longer supplies an artificial round
ness, but is proud of her lack of womanly
development. There is no use in remind
ing her that her deficiency is not charming
to masculine eyes; she will follow the
fashion, no matter how foolish it Is. Tho
idea is that a hollow chest is indicative of
maidcnhood. Women who are by nature
more amply endowed flatten themselves rs
much as possible with uncommonly high,
narrow corscts, and hold their shoulders
as far forward rs they possibly can, thus
rendering null and void one of the best of
their beauties. All, well, what fools my
sex sometimes make of thcmselvcsl Some
Of our formerly buxom bellies have dcgcr-
Grated into 'humpbacks in single week.
Their DIR. sscs have been altered t. suit the
changed shapes, though l imagine they
were TUNED hind-sidc before The sim.
pletons remind me of the pictures in the
old reading books, illustrating the good and
bad posture at dcsk-a boy with pro-
trudcd chest and erect head which is like
the belle as she was, and another boy
bumped over his book, which is like rs she
is. 1t is to be hoped that this ldiocy will
be OF short duration.

a Novel Picture frame.

We have all noticed in our walks through
the woods in the fall of the year or winter
months, how many shades of green dif-
fcrcnt patches of moss display. Some Il
light vclvcty corn color, others HI apple
green, and then again nearer the waters
edge we find the rich green patches still
more like velvet. The time to collect 1t is
when the earth is dry; select the most vel
vet like varieties you can find, and pull the
fibres apart, separating each shade into
bundles, just rs you would sort colored silks
before working into pattern. Take flat
sheet Of thick card board. and cut an oval
piece from the centre, leaving hole the
exact size of the picture. Next turn the
sheet on the wrong side, lay glass over
the hole and draw line around it with a
pencil, then cut four strips of cardboard
the length of these lines, and after picrcnp
them with an awl fastcn firmly with cords
to the frame. Place the glass in the
square formed by these strips, and on that
lay your picture; If this proves to be II
perfect fit, cut a piece of cardboard to
cover The picture, place it over the back of
1T, and fix 1t securely in place by means Of
the case at the back of the picture. After
oSSHiS 1iiat SaSil lait VI youl lIhillC iS I'LL
exact tlt take two short hair pins, and
pierce the board on tho under side some
distance from the top with the hair pins,
one on either side of the picture. The
heads Of the hair pins should be left sufli-
cicntly above the urfacc to pass a cord
through, and the points that pierce the up.
per side should be pressed flatly to the face
of the board. The different parts OF the
frame being fitted and ready for use, you
can put them all by but the large square
piece. After looking carefully to be Ger.
tain that yol begin on the right side, which
is indicated by the points of the hair-pns,
sew a regular row of the darkest moss
around the oval centre of your frame the
second row should be the next darkest
shade, and 80 on until the Highest shade
comes next the edge that rests against the
wall. In sewing the moss on care should
be taken to let the vclvcty portion Of zach
row cover the stem of the one above. When
this is finished, fill all the parts of your
frame together, and hang where 1t will
catch the evening light. You will have a
cheap, and think, pretty frame.

A Major Joke.

1t is reported that the German Emperor,
after inspecting the new barracks of the
Second Guard Dragoonsin the Piontcrstassc,
recently, contrived while chatting with the
officers in the mess room, to write few
words with chalk pencil upon the tunic
of the senior regimcntal captain, unper-
ceivcd by that officer. This done, His
Majesty left the room laughing heartily,
accompanied by the Colonel of the rcgi-
ment, Prince Hohenzollcrn, whcreupon the
senior staff officer present. walked up to
Captain Won s., and, to his utter con-
sternation, proceeded to unfastcn and re-
move his epaulettcs. Unconscious of
having committed any dcriliction of duty,
Won s. remained motionlcss while this
ominous operation was being performed;
but his painful perplexity gave place to
jubilant exultation, when tic Lieutenant
colonel produced u pair Of majors cpau.
lettes and dextcrously Outloncd them to his
SHOULDERS. The words hastily scribblcd by
the Emperor upon Captain Won S---'s
uniform, were, "Z,lm- Major bcfocrdcrtl"
(promotcd TO major) and the subsequent
details of this general surprise, had been
arranged by Ills Majesty beforehand with
their cxccutant. 1t 10 said that in his re-
joicing at his unexpected advancement the
newly-madc major called upon tho senior
non-commissioncd officer of the squadron,
and said to him, 'Sergeant-major, the
squadron is relieved from duty for to day.
Let the men have as much to drink as they
please. pay for ALL"
