dips until Daniels capital was sensibly
weakened and he began TO spprehend
that tho average hoosier was elias

advantage thereof to the fullest oppor-

Judge of this State who gets drunk once
year regularly either in Chicago OF
New York and the rest Of the time re-
mains ut home the perssnifcation Of
judicial dignity and sobriety stumbled
into the room more than half drunk.
He stared on $40, "called the turn,' and
won repeatedly, drinking deep and long,
until finally he fell upoo the floor al

inventory of his "ehips" allowed hin
several hundred dollars ahead, and the,
were duly cashed and placed in the carr

next night the same junst turned VI
drunk as lord, and Daniels battered
himself that his bank would even al

the contrary WAS the case. The fact is

Saratoga Letter.

1t has been very truly remarked that
Mrs. Stewards style of dressing has
changed greatly since ten years ago,
when she used to congratulate herself
that she was rich enough to dress with
simplicity. Now she~ears all that the
most stylish aud exacting dress maker
could demand in fabric and cnt, and her
toilets are az many as belle can boast
in her first season. At this garden party
she wore white brocaded satin, thick
aud heavy enough to stand alone, as our
grandmothers put it. 1t was d0unced
with deep point lace over plain satin
plaitings, and tho corsage WAS cut with
narrow V to fit broad collarette of
the same lace. A large cluster of white
lilacs were fastened at one side with a
diamond buckle, and diamond buckles
we're on the sleeves and sashes of the
overskirt. Youthful as the toilet was,
it was not nnbecoming, for like her late
husband, Mrs. Stewart looks remarka-
bly, Young for her age, and her slight,
trim figure and auburn hair you'd dc
for woman of forty.
