Miss Oracle M has the loveiest COM

be perfectly charming girl. With it she

bushes the prettiest dainty pink you ever
saw, and in cold weather soft color rises
in her face and wistful look comes into
her face that makes her quite adorable.

non, of Pittsburg, until his race with Fels-
ing, of his city, is finished, and further that
this race will be rowed in such fast time
He'll winning it-that Brannon and hackers
will not be willing TO match their man
against the Bellaire wonder.
Pittsburg Dispatch: James ]. Burke,
Sacker of Brennan, the osrsmsn, stated
asst evening that the match between his
man and He'll, the Bellaire sculler, had in
all probability fallen through. He'll came
10 Pittsburg some DAYS since to arrange
race with brennan, but when the time came
for depositing the forfeit money he did not
show up and it is stated that he has re-
turned home Brennan is anxious for
tilt with He'll for $3.50 side, and will row
him either at Bellaire or Pttsburg give or
take expenses HeiPs most notable per
formances were at Wheeling last Saturday
and Monday. On the former day he pulled
dead heat with Manton, his senior in age
some Is years, and, on Monday, when the
race was rowed over, he landed a winner in
81 :28, the best time he ever made.
Burke is very favorably impressed with
Ritz, the Wheeling osrsman, but when
asked if he was as good as Peter Priddy,
replied in the negative and ventured the
significant opinion that the oarsmsp who
took Priddy into camp over river course,
when the conditions were all right would
have to do the three miles IN less than
twenty minutes. In speaking Of Wheeling
scullers, Burke, who is former resident OF
the city, volunteered the information that
Briceland had about given up rowing, owing
to i'll health. He considers him the best
sculler ever brought outin that city.

Miss Nora M. has also pretty feet, but
yet she has no style. She talks merrily
and pleasantly when you know her well, but
is rather quiet with strangers; not at all
the sort Of girl to get GU. Her voice is not
sufficiently loud nor impevious. She does
not hustle about with an air as II the world
was made for her. She wears pretty gowns
but does not bunch them nor out, mince
along with . soubrette-like svsying her
dress from side to side, as most Of the girls
do. In fact she will never look anything

Mrs. James has waist 1t is her great

Justly may well be, foF it is the. result of
many patient years Of pain. She has laid
on the shrine of that little waist many pre-

good spirits Having sacrificed the hrst,
the other two followed, matter Of course.
But then it is wonderful waist. 1t can
not measure more than seventeen inches
at the very most. The pressure has made
her nose permanently red. Not all Of the
waters of Araby would make that nose
white again, but what matters. Does It not
belong to the smallest waist in the land?
One thing Immediately strikes the beholder.
He wonders how so small waist can be so
obtrusive Were it two yards around it
could not more aggressively insist upon be-
ing noticed. Draperies are so arranged
as to lead the eye down to it, and skirts are
so arranged as to guide the eye up to it.

from her sides, 80 as to advertise in a
pointed way the fact that your view is
scarcely interrupted by her slight but we'll

stands talking to friend in the
street she puts hand on either side
of this wonderful waist, and appears to be
curbing herself as it were. She wearest
the tightest of jackets, and is never to be
seen in dolman She takes terrible colds
in the winter because she will not wrap up
In fact her whole existence is burnt offer
ing to her waist. Were she to grow stout
her object in life would be gone, She de-
MES herself the qualification of an excel
lent appetite, in the interests of small
waist, self sacrifice that would be noble in
a better cause.

uncertain location Of Dakota's capital
says:
It is understood that the question will
come up in another shape before the
comptroller Of the treasury, to whom il
hes been referred BY the secretary Of the
territory, who is the disbursing officer,
and Who wants . ruling as to where the
disburseIaents should be made. It il
believed that the new governor will be
Influenced by this ruling.
Inquiries were made ct the comptrol.

ence, but the comptroller said il such a
reference had been made it had not yet
reached his Office It is understood that
it has been forwarded to him.
This information is probably correct,
as the secretary is responsible for hif
disbursements and wants the backing OF
q ruling on the subject.

have taken hold of this enterprise.
Bridges Il Hopkins, special agents,
we understand, are offering rare in

any other line of business involving
capital of several million dollars.
This useful and rapidly selling inven.
