A Hard Town.

A correspondent OF the Chicago Inter.
Ocean having reached the terminus Of
the Northern Pacific railroad thus
describes the new town Of Glendive
and it's peculiarities
OF course Glendive Is a hard town.
There are no school-houses or churches
or sewing societies or Snnday-schools

and dance-houses are plenty. Bat all
this human scum will doat away as the
track is pushed on, and the substantial,
respectable citizens will remain to make
life what it is at Fargo or Jamestown
or Bismarck, peaceful and agreeable.
Last December the first shanty was
built here. Of logs, and not until June
was dressed piece of timber brought
into Glendive. Give il time.
The cemetery of new town has >

Several years ago land agent, in ad.

healthfulness of the locality by the

The Oldest Pensioner.

Maryland can probably claim tho
Oldest pensioner in the United States in
the person of Mrs. Elizabeth Cretzer,
who resides in the Ninth district Of
Baltimore county, upon the York road.
She was 10S years old in last Decem:
Der, and is the widow Of John Cretzer.
Of Captain Parry's company OF Maryland
militia, who served in the year of 1912.
Notwithstanding her advanced age she
can walk about the house and attend 70
household duties. She has che record
of her birth and her marriage to John
Creszer in the year 1901. her sight and
hearing are good. and her mental facul-
ties arc in an excellent state Of preser-
vation. On recent Tuesday she was
driven to receive her pension payment
at Major Adreoa's oflico on Calvert
street. and he would not give her the
trouble to alighl; he carried her check
10 her ct The carriage. and found her
thoroughly cheerful and in The humol
for quite talk. She Is believed 20 be
the oldest pen doacr, II not The oldest
person In the United States.

meet in point below The waist, and the
skirts are added all around the waist.
Many bunnets of large size are
trimmed with q wreath of roses or
other flowers within the brim, while
feathers, pompons and plush or wide
ribbons trim the outside.
White evening dresses will still be
worn this winter. but their color will
be the only touch OF simplicity about
them, the richest stuGs being made up
in the most elaborate styles.
Rosettes of six short loops are pretty
substitutes for bows. They are fastened
with silver or gold pins and worn at the
throat or at any point on the square or
pointed opening at the throat that one
prefers.
New linen collars are Of the ssveregt
simplicity, and are worn with no fasten-
ing but small brooch or slender lace
pin. Children's collars. says the Basar,
are bordered with Tunis lace or have
their edges cut ont in squares and filled
in with Valenciennes.
The object in trimming 3 poke bon

Perhaps you think that i; has no beauty,
bat that is because you do not know.
The new way of arranging a founce
is to use the double boI-plait, making
it five inches wide on the top, with side
plaits an inch wide, and making the
plain spaces 80 wide that there are only
nine plaits in the whole founce. These
founces are hemmed by hand. and

with small buttons Of cut steel down
the front TO the waist line, where it is
slanted of to the back, showing com
psratively long waistcoAt with pockets
and cut steel buttons The plain sleeves
are trimmed with similar buttons.
The American frock for small girls
in its latest modification is quite loose,
with collar around the mock, plain in
front, plated or gathered all the way
down at the back, while sash or scarf,
rossed over the plaits q good deal be-
low the waist line, leaves the frock
quite loose, hangs little on the right
side, and is tied in large bov on the
left.
Cheviot suits arc made mp with long
jackets, with skirts provided with two
box plaits in the back, but otherwise
perfectly plain, and a little caps fastened
by tab at the throat. The collar is
standing, the cuff = straight piece
slanted at one end, which is placed on
the outside of the wrist, and the pocket
velts are perfectly plain. Buttons and
rows Of stitching arc the only orna-
ments. and not too many Of either of
these are used.

MY ROBBER.

We had thought it all over; we had
discussed it from every standpoint; We
had argued it pro and con, this new
and important question which had
forced itself upon our lives, but at last
we had reached q conclusion.
Perhaps to others it would appear
trivial. To us it was of mighty
moment, for it threw open our doors to
the admittance of a strapger-in other
aud less enigmatic words, lodger.
We were alone in the world, Helen
and 1, living in pretty cottage left us
by our parents, Just on the outskirts of
London, in one of tho fashionable
suburbs, too; for our father had pos
sessed comfortable means, and had died
believing our future was well provided
for.
Unfortunate speculstions and invest
ments, however, had consumed so much
of our capital, that, without encroach-
ng upon IL further, the interest would
no longer support us.
For two years we had struggled along
in the vain effort to make dollar do
the work Of a pound, until We relin-
quished il as hopeless, and with the
future merged into q necessitous and
pressing present, the idea just expound-
cd occurred to as.
II was in Helen's fertile brain that il
originated. She was three years my
senior, but even that made her but
twcnty three. was very proud of her,
for she was very lovely, with sad, far
off look in the great brown eyes, whose
secret only I knew.
She never spoke Will Hastings's
name. They had had some foolish
quarrel just prior to my fathers death,
and soon after tho regiment of which
he was captain was ordered to India.

shared II silently, but in vain. We
read one morning in the paper that the
regiment had sailed, but from Will
himself no word reached US.
II seemed strangely unlike him, this
hard unfofgiveness-bu Helen had held
out the olive branch--she could do no
more. Only even yet, in the dead OF

heard her sobbing in her room
