A year ago the st Paul 6 Manitoba
railway company reduced its local and
through passenger charges to uniform
rate of four cents a mile The years
travel, though mainly increased by the in
crease ofpopulation along the company IS
lines, has indicated that the reduction of

especially for the benefit of communities
along the road. This reduction, to take
effect the 18th inst, is to be accomplished
by selling round trip tickets to
Minneapolis or st. Paul, from
any other station on the road
at three and half cents per mile, or one
half cent less than the present and single
trip rate. This reduction amounts to
about SO on a round trip from extreme
stations to st. Paul, and makes enough
of differance at intermediate stations tc
justify the belief that it will work to the
advantage of the company as we'll as the

fit to abolish breach Of promise az .

considered before that contamination

The Man With the Flail.

It carried the beholder back to thirty
years ago, when the thrashing. machine
was heard only at rare intervals, and the
honest farmer spread his golden stalks
on the clean barn floor and failed away
with such tempered blows that not .
kernel was broken. The man who had
it sat down on one of the benches in the
West Circus Park. The rare sight Of
such an article halted every pedestrian,
and the man had to keep explaining
over and over:
"Wel, III have some beans to she'll
this fall, and l kinder thought 'twould
be easier to fail 'em out. The hard
ware man told me he had to send to
Vermont for it,
Pretty soon along came gray-headed

he looked ten years younger all at once.
II handled that for over ten years."
he said as he picked it up and spit on
his hands. "Seems like old times to
get hold of this hickory again.
He STEPPED out one side to give the
crowd an exhibition on the grass, and
his success was great. At the second
blow the fail end hesitated in mid-air,
wobbled about and finally came down
with . whack on the patriots head,
making him see more stars than 3 win

ped the weapon with the remark that
he was already ten minutes late inksep.

his skull as far down the street q b

chuckled as he reached for 1t. "Ipre.
sumo l have failed q thousand bushss
Of wheat In my time. You boys stand
back there"
The boys retreated, and the man lfted
the fail on high and patted the grass IN
vigorous manner.
"Yes, my stint used to be twenty
bushels day." he continued, "and
though I do say it myself, L." .
Something happened. He dropped
the fail, seized bis jaw, and danced Oh
as if he had springs under him, and a.
though q dozen voices asked what bit
him he refused to tell.
By and by q third man came sailing
along, and when he saw the fail be re.
marked that his father had used one

the crowd.
"Why, Of course. II you boys want

Hints About Autumn Dresses.

The first information from abroad
confirms the hope that short dresses
will continue in vogue for nearly all oc.
casions, and that there will be no very
decided changes in the next seasons
dresses. Plated skirts will display
stripes advantageously, and plated
founces will be retained on account Of
stripes, though gathered tlounces are
suggested for soft satin stufFs, moires
and woolens. Basques Of watered silk
are being made for skirts Of plain satin
Surah that are trimmed with MORE.
This fashion was introduced by the
Princess of Wales during the summer,
in . dress with white MORE corsage and
skirts of tulle. Short over-skirts with
bouffant draperies are shown in the de-
signs for new costumes. Corselets or
wide girdles Of MORE or Of velvet are
worn over soft wool basques that may
be either plain or plated. Moire COL
lars Of Byron shape. and fiat cuffs to
match are q neat finish for camel's-hair
and cashmere dresses. This MORE may
be shaded. or else chanqeable, and Is
used in the lower skirt, while the over.
skirt is Of the wooden goods. Floren-
tine bronze shades Of mixed green and
gold, mort dore golden brown), and
dull red will be popular colors for wool
and for silk costumes. Satin Surahs
and Rhadzimir silks with satin luster
are largely imported for black dresses.
Pushes and velvets are chosen for trim
mings Of wool and Of satin stufEs. For
over-garments there are long cloaks not
adjusted to the figure, and also close
fitting jaunty jackets. The rich satin
brocades in new designs of chains,
linked rings, plush diamonds and vel
vet figures will be used for elegant
wraps. A great deal Of color will, it is
said, be seen in tho imported cloaks,
but black will remain the standard
choice for garments to be worn in the
street during the day, while colored
wraps will be reserved for driving, for
receptions and for evening toilettes.
The beauty Of the black nantes will
consist of rich Innings Of plush, and Of
moircs and changeable Surahs. -Har-
