HER LITTLE JOKE.

A man travelling on Dakota railroad
approached pretty girl who occupied
a full seat, and asked her politely if he
might take part oft. "Seat's engaged"
she replied, pertly. "Got some apples
in my gripsack!' observed the man,
scratching his chin, meditatively.
Seats engaged" repeated the girl,
spreading her skirts out. "Got some.
nice cakes and candies," mused the.
applicant, appearing to pay no atten-
ton to her. Il tell you the seats en-
gagged" she answered with a sniff of
disdain. Nuts and raisins, fresh
sandwiches, pie, all in the same grip
SACK" and the man looked at her side
ways. "Don't make any difference,
seats engaged" and she turned to the
window as though she was tired of the
subject. "And a flask of the best
cherry wine that ever trickled down a.
woman's gullet, " continued the stranger.
"How did you know I was only fool
ing about the seat being engaged 2"
murmured the Dakota girl, her face
breaking into wreath of smiles. "It
takes man to find out when woman
is having her little joke" And nobody
on the train had better time than that
man the rest of the trip.-Drake's

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES

DIR. Holmes was born at Cambridge.
Mass, on the 29th day of August, 1909,
and graduated from Harvard University
In 1929. He began the study of law, but
soon abandoned it for medicine. In 1882
he went to Europe to complete his
studies, and upon his return was ap-
pointed Professor of Anatomy in Dart
mouth College, where he remained until
1847, when he accepted a similar profess
sorship at Harvard. He early began to
write poetry, and contributed to the
Coltegia'a, a paper published by the un-
dergraduates at Harvard. Since then
he has written many poems, most OF
them being delivered on festive occasions
or at collegiate celebrations. When the
atlantic appeared, in 1857, he contrib
uted "The Autocrat of the Breakfast
Table," and "The Professor at the
Breakfast Table," both of which have
been published in book form. Beside
poetry and lectures he has written sever
al medical works. and contributed large
ly to medical magazines and publica-
tions. Several novels of high character
have come from his pen. Taken all in
all he is by far the most versatile OF
American authors, and he has done
nothing that is not of ths highest char
acter both in style and thought.

The variety of grenadines is SO great
at present that these dresses will be
more used than they have been. For
young ladies the Spanish-lace grenadine
is made over colored satin notably
terra-cotta red, olive green and salmon
colors for older ladies the fine taffeta
grenadine of sewing silk is used as a
transparent above rich colors, while for
those who prefer all black dresses two
kinds Of grenadine are used, combining
the plain or striped armure grenadines,
with brocades that have large balls,
flowers or fruits, apples, pears or plums

Can have just cause to grumble or to grieve.
Howe tllis may be, the story goes
That, in the olden time, monarch grand,
Oppressed with real or imagined woes,
Sought out the Oldest savant in the land.
"Thou man of science" said the unhappy King.
Who conjures gold from sordid bits of earth,
Or tells each one what future years will bring
By planets aspect, at his date of birth,
With all my fame, my power and wealth, find
That something lacks; so, if you can but say
Where may buy contentment, peace of mind.

Mine leagues away, however, dwells a wight
An humble cobbler, but an honest man;
The wondrous shirt he wears, by day and night,
They say, contains spell, and he who can
Secure this garment gains content as we'll"
At early morn the King went forth alone;
And when the mellow shades of evening fell
He stood before the cobbler's door unknown.
Responsive to a knock, the poor man came,
And, brief of speech, the bantering monarch
said:
"a magic shirt, they tell me, thou dost claim
My shirt and twenty pounds for thine Is it a

His coarse vestment here he drew aside,
matchless front of linen to display,
Which, gen-bedeckcd and well with broidery

But filed the humble craftsman with dismay
The wondering cobbler stared; then, blushing,

But possible. kind sir; we cannot trade,
Because, to tell the truth, I have no shirt"

Stceet Smiles,

HE thinnest thing now on record is
said to be that mans pocket-book which
has just been struck by a milliner.
"YEs, Agnes, I'm going to have a
cream-colored silk, provided pa doesn't
veto the appropriation ma has passed. :"
A YOUNG lady being told by friend
that silk dresses were very much worn,
said that she knew it, for hers had two
or three holes in it.
WIFE" But, my dear, I shall catch
cold coming down so late to let you in. {"
Husband-"Oh no, my love, TIL rap
you up well before you come down."
"YoU are as full of airs as music
box" is what a young man said to a girl
who refused to let him see her home.
"That may be-" was the reply, "but I
don't go with a crank
SAID his prudent friend: "Why, So
for a carriage is extravaganza. Go in a
horse car or take Herdic.'' And the
extravagant man replied: 81 can't. You
see the lady I'm going to take isn't my
wife. "-Boston Post.
A CABLEGRAM says: "The bulk of
the Zulu warriors, having married, de-

ing a man from a head-waiter at swell

What Most Wo1,oes, Need.

Discussing the difficult problem of fe-
male education, the Nation pertinently
remarks that what most women need
next after health and power of acquisi-
ton, and the confidence which springs
from having acquired something, is a
tolerable amount of administrative ca
pacity. Housekeeping is administration
on small scale. It includes the faculty
of getting the most for ones money, and
managing servants and children. If it
it were likely to be mans vocation to
the extent to which it is likely to be O
woman's, he would undoubtedly be pre-
pared for it by some sort of apprentice
ship. He would have to learn in some
subordinate capacity, the proper mode
of buying and preparing food, and of
procuring and taking care of furniture
and clothing, and of ruling servants. He
would be trained to receive company by
some experience of the art Of entertain
ing, both in its material and aesthetic as
pect. No one would ever guess, how
ever, from an inspection OF an average
school course, that a girl was to be the
head of that most complex result of civ
ilization-a modern household, with its
thousand duties, responsibilities and re.
lations.- Western Educational Journal.

A SCIENTIST says that every adult per-
son carries enough phosphorus in his
body to make at least 1000 of the ordi-
nary 2-cent packages of friction matches.
That is a scientific fact that is of very
little value to man who comes home in
the night, smashes everything on the
bureau in searching for a match, and
realizes that all the 1000 match-power
phosphorus concealed inside of him will
not light the gas.-Teras Siftirags.

took to his wife a widow, eight years his
junior, Mrs Lydia Doras, one of a fam
lily of sixteen children by the name of
Shepherd. Lydia had three Doras chill
dren, and Isaac groaned not little be-
cause of the size of his family. But tie
poor man dreamed not Of what was in
store for him Thirty-one years have
passed since then, and up to the present
time Mrs. Tatro has presented her hus-
band with twenty-five children, making
twenty-five by including the offspring
OF her first marriage. Of those was one
pair of twins; two died in infancy;
seven died after attaining their growth;
and sixteen are living, the oldest about

EACH Il GREATER TILL4IN THAN

During the wildcat days in the West
Brooklyn man, who died not long
since, was in business in q Michigan
town, and formed a close friendship with
the cashier of one of the private banks.
One evening the cashier admitted that
he was laying his plans to rob the bank
of all its funds and skip to Canada, and
his friend permitted himself to be drawn
into the plot. They were to skip to-
gether and share alike, and a certain day
was mentioned for the affair to come off.
The Brooklyn man sold out his store at
a big sacrifice, and went to Detroit,
where the cashier was to join him with
the stolen funds. The hour came, and
the cashier came, but he had no sparkle
in his eye.
"Busted-busted all to blazes !" he
groaned in explanation.
"Didn't you get the money!"
"Not cent p

Il SUBSTITUTE FOR THE REVOLYE6

The revolver, according to London
paper, is in all probability destined to
be shortly discarded from use in the
army, navy, Irish constabulary, and other
Government services in favor of a new
weapon, the mitrailleuse pistol, in which
there are four barrels, which are loaded
at once by patent quadruple cartridge
big enough to afford good hold to the
fingers. Forty shots per minute can be
discharged, and the empty cartridges
elected automatically. As there is no
opening through which any gas can es-
cape, the weapon can be used gun-fash-
ion when aiming, AMI there are no
screws, hammers, or projections to catch
the clothing, reins, OF accoutrements.
Above all, there is no fear of jam or
the weapon becoming unserviceable
from over-heating. The pistol will take

per Of this morning. Messrs. Frankel &

to make an assignment for the benefit Of
their creditors. They were not indebt
ed to the, amount Of s32, 900, but in a
much less amount The assignment was
made by them freely and Voluntarily, in
consideration whereof their creditors
have agreed to release them from all
their liabilities The assignment was
made Of all their property and assets,
including property that they could have
exempted from execution and forced
sale. Their assets exceed their liabili-
ties by considerable amount. The as.
signees have agreed to reconvey to them
all the property that may be left after
their debts are paid in full. The trans
action was perfectly fair and honorable
upon the part Of Messrs. VIM. Frankcl
and James w. Hellman, composing the

satisfactory to their creditors, and l pre-.

The Supreme Court has affirmed the
Judgment Of the Superior Court Of Ven
,tura county in the case Of Vicente
Garcia, alias Vicente Voraga. who was
found guilty of the murder by stabblng
of an Indian named Estanislaus on Sep
tember 10, 1881, over q row about a
woman, after fandango. Garcia was
jointly indicted with Romualdo Olivas
and Girildo Jesus Sosa Separate trials
were had, with the result that Olivas
was sentenced to life imprisonment,
Sosa was discharged, having turned
States evidence, while Garcia was SEN
fenced to suffer the death penalty, but
took an appeal. The principal point ON
appeal was as to the admissibility of
the dying declarations of the deceased.
Upon this point the Supreme Court de-
cided that it is not necessary that each
witness testifying to declaration shall
also, by his testimony, definitely fix the
belief that the person making it was in
dying condition. The sense of i'm
pending death may be sworn to by one
witness and the declaration proved by
another. Justices McKinstry and Ross
dissented and Justice Sharpstein did
not participate in the decision.
