One of the most noteworthy is of pale blue

sleeve partially conceals her beautiful arms.
AS we all know, her neck and arms
are extremely pretty, yet not prettier than
very pretty little feet which
are dressed in satin slippers and hosiery to
match each costume. 4 third elegant con-
cert toilette is of striped cream and olive
SILK, with fringe to match, and white let.
This likewise is made with square. low
neck, short sleeves and train. Another ex-
quisitely refined toilette is of cream bro

Brussels lace. At the fair for St. Vincent's
hospital. she appeared in basque of ma

Good Work or None.

1t is rule that a workman must fol-
low his employers orders, but no one has
right to make him do work discredit-
able to himself. Judge NJ, we'll
known jurist living near Cincinnati,
loved to tell this aneodote OF young man
who understood the risk of doing a
shabby job even when directed to.
He had once occasion to send to the
village for a carpenter, and steady
young fellow appeared with his tools.
1 want this fence mended to keep
out the cattle. There are some unplaned
boards-use them Its outof sight from
the house, so you need not take time to
make it neat job will only pay you
a dollar and half"
The Judge went to dinner, and coming
out, found the man carefully planning
each board. Surprising that he was try
ing to make costly job of it, he ordered
him to nail them on at once just as they
were, and continued his walk. When he
returned the boards were all planed and
numbered ready for mailing.
{" I told you this fence was to be COW
cred with vines" he said, angrily do
not care how it looks"
" l do" said the carpenter, grufly,
carefully measuring his work. When it
was finished there was no part of the
fence as thorough in finish.
"How much do you charger" asked
the judge.
GA dollar and half" said the man,
shouldering his TOOLS
The Judge started. "Why did you
spend all that labor on the job, if not for
money"
For the job, sir"
Nobody would have seen the poor
"But I should have known it was
there. No; I'll take only dollar and a
half" And he took it and went away.
Ten years afterwards, the Judge had
the contract to give for the building Of
several magnificent public buildings.
There were many applicants among mas
ter-builders, but the face of one caught
his eye.
at was my man of the fence" he
said. 81 knew we should have only
good, genuine work from him. I gave
him the contract and it made rich man
of him"

and what do you think he'was saying

Jocko's Letter.

My brother once owned funny little
monkey. His name was Jocko Like
all monkeys he was a great mimic. One
day my brother sat down at his desk to
write letter Jocko jumped into a chair
to watch him. His little forehead
wrinkled up, and he scratched his head
with his paw. AS my brother folded the
letter, and put it in the envelope, and
stamped it, Jocko's funny little face
seemed to laugh all over. "I can do
that as we'll as you, was what he would
have said if he could. 1t was near post
time and my brother hurried off with his
letter, but forgot to shut his desk.
When he came back there was the lit
tie monkey seated at the desk. A sheet
of letter-paper was spread out before him,
covered with the most comical scribbles
you ever saw. He found he couldn t
hold the pen so he had squeezed his
little fingers into the inkstand, and you
can imagine what funny writing it was.
He was just folding up the letter with
his inky paws when my brother came
in.
o Jocko you young rascal he said.
But Jocko jumped down and was under
the table-cover in twinkling. My
brother burst out laughing when he saw
Jocko's letter
That was signal to the little culprit
that his master wasn't very angry with
him. So, holding up one corner of the
table-cover with his paw, he ventured to
peep out.
"Come here, old Jock, and tell me
whom you have been writing to"
Then Jocko jumped upon his knee
and if monkeys only could talk, think
this is what he would have said 81

The children of a certain family, during
its prosperity, were left in the nursery
under the charge of servants. When
adversely came, they lived call together"
One day the father came home after
day of anxiety and business worry; his
little girl clambered upon his knee, and

The gerrymander in Missouri WAS
striking and remarkable one, some
districts having been given from
10000 to $4,000 excess of population
and every one made in the interest
of the Democrats. Yet the Demo
cratic press of that state is not hap

"The Democratic party was al
ways the friend of labor" so says a
pOnderous organ. There is a grain
of truth in the claim, but it was
slave labor that the party befriended
until it went out OF power in 1861.
Since that time it has had no fixed
policy except opposition to every
progressive proposition. War de-
stroyed it's idol, slavery, and broke
down it's affairs. Since then it has
found no shrine at which it can COM
