he, too, suffered for want of decent food. That the man is genius in his profession is as evident as the multiplication table. He inherited his ability from his mother; who possessed exquisite taste. You must not judge Worth by all the dresses made by him, as I used to do. If woman insists upon having a fussy, furbelowed costume Worth is obliged to make it, however disgusted he may be.
 tFMy life is anything but bed of roses, J he said one day. ''What I have to endure from some women is simply incredible when it is remembered they call themselves ladies. A person sailed in one day and gave an or der, saying, T don't like your taste, Mir. Worth; want so and so.' Madame, re- piled, you can have what you want, but I am quite sure if had your taste I shouldn't have any customers She didn't mind that sarcasm; she didn't understand it. What do women come to me for if they don't like my styles That's what they pay for. Why don't they make their own dresses if they know so much about it? Another lady said: You make my cousins dresses and don't approve of them, MT. Worth Neither do I, madame I answered. If your cousin likes colors mixed up I can't help it. If you have a more cultivated eye than your cousin I congratulate you"
 That's the way Worth talks to people It doesn't make the least difference who they are He says exactly what he thinks A grand dame once went up to Worth to show him costume she wore for the first time. Glancing at her, Worth exelaimed 'Your dIess is spoiled by your gloves. Take them off" And off they came.
 Worth is 8 tallish man, with big head and very prominent forehead. His brown eyes are singularly shrewd in expression and their seizure of detail is surprising, that is, for man. As a rule men have no more

A Baggage Smasher,s Fate. From the Burlington Hawkeye l

 An aged trunk sat back in the dark corner baggage gentleman called him out The baggageman, in great wrath, advanced and seized the venerable Saratoga by the handle Gently, friend, gently" said the trunk :'that thing you have hold of was not made to lift me by"
 But the baggageman gave it yank that pulled it out by the roots, and then, with vi olent language, he upbraided the trunk fo1 not holding on
 ''I have nothing to do with getting out this baggage" replied the aged trunk; ''my sole mission and duty in life is to get on the wrong train. Failing in that, I am content merelyto go to the wrong hotel, although l would prefer to lose my check and get lost entirely. Ton will find the remaining han dle at the other end" The baggageman walked around and caught hold of the surviving handle. By placing his feet against the end of the trunk and holding on with both hands he was able to pull off this one in three strong pulls. Then the aged trunk closed it's eyes, leaned back and simply said; "And this is where I must get off, too" The baggageman wept. He had now to stoop down, put his arms around that trunk pick it up bodily and carry it to the car door. He did so, but the exertion broke his back in three places. He determined he would not die unavenged, so he hurled the now helpless trunk upon the iron-bound truck that await ed it. Then, as he heard the awful crash that announced the ruin he had wrought, he sank to the door of the car saying:
 ''I die happy"
 But a comrade looked in the car and said sadly:
 Missed yer tip, Bill"
 Didn't burst the trunk.' he asked faint ly.
 ''Naw; only wrecked an express truck"

Half Million Dollars Lost By a
 CoIIiery Cave In.
 WILKEsBARRE, Pa., Sept. 5.-A great cave in occurred this morning at the Enter prise colliery. The earth sank twenty inches for twenty acres around and the noise resembled that of an earthquake. The peo- pie living in the vicinity rushed pell nell out of their houses and later moved their families to other parts of the village. The loss to mining property will be heavy. The mines were not in operation or the loss of life would have been heavy. The cave in was caused by the giving away of props in the mines. The Lehigh Valley railroad tracks run over the part caved in and they are knocked out of shape, preventing the running of trains.
 WnKEsBARRE, Pa., Sept. 5.-A second fall of rock took place this evening which now embraces fully two hundred and fifty acres extending from the Susquehanna river uphill to the fan house of the mine, a distance of half mile. The fall of rock this evening is thought to be enormous. Before the mules could be rescued six were killed. Even if the mine is not flooded it will be at least a year before it can be put in working order again. The loss will reach fully half mil lion dollars.
