PERCY.

Ny little maid, whose tangled hair
Outglints the warm sunshine,
Come, round to dainty hollows fair,
Those dimpled palms of thine,
And send a fairy bugle-blast
Across the rosy morn
To call the bonny blue-eyed lad
A-hoeing in the corn.
She shakes her head, the little maid,
He is not there (she saith).
Nay then, where lush green grasses spread
And summer holds her breath
Mayhap he leads the lettering kline;
Or where the sunbeams steep
The grassy slopes and shadows divine
He minds your fathers sheep.
She shakes her head, the little maid,
He Is not there (she saith.
Nay, then, fieet-foot and unafraid
He speeds across the heath
A-chasing of the antlered deer,
The hounds are following fair;
His ringing shout surely hear s94
She saith, he is not there
She brought me to the wind-swept hill,
Whose lonesome grasses wave
Thro' summers heat and winter chill
Ger many heaped-up grave; ia
But when with trembling tongue prayed
The name of one who slept s
Beneath the mound the newest made,
She answered not, but wept

The dress of the candidate for baptism,
first communion or confirmation should al
ways be white. This does not imply that
these ceremonies arbitrarily demand white
toilet, but white is the accepted and con-
ventional color for these occasions. The
baby's dress is white, of course, when it is
brought to its christening" When the
sacrament is postponed until later years the
candidate, unless
PAST THE SUSPICION OF YOUTH,
when of the gentler sex. wears white. The
simpler the style of the robe for this cere-
Ymony the better the taste. When the rite
is performed by immersion, as among the
Baptists, the beautiful custom practiced
In some parts of the country of arraying
the candidates in dresses of white wool.
and wearing over this a circle cloak of
white or black serge, is recommended
as greatly enhancing the artistic effect
and dignity of the ceremony.
The usual white muslin dress used
for candidates for confirmation is very
suitable for the Baptist ceremonial when
one of white wool is not to be obtained.
The cloak covers the dress, concealing the
clinging of the wet cotton garments and
spreading like great lily pad of white or
black on the surface of the water, making
the act Of immersion almost imperceptible.
BY the way, 1T seems as though the mer-
chants of New York had come to the
conclusion that all the shoppers are as truly
good and honest as candidates for churchly
rites. so eager are they to trust. A lady
went to one of the great shopping stores to
purchase garment which, itswas found,
needed to be altered to fit her. The sales
woman said she must pay for it before
any alteration was made in it. She had
expected to have the purchase sent to her
home, and pay the bill on delivery. Dis
appointed in this, she went to the pro-
+. prietor of the store and told him her money
was at home, but she was in hurry for
the article she had bought. He took down
her name and address. and said ''Thats
all right, madam; never feel the least in

NOT HAVING ANY MONEY.
Come and get what you want whenever you
want anything money or no money. We
will make a memorandum of the items

This lady repeated this to her friends at a
social gathering shortly afterward, and
found that each woman present had had an
experience somewhat like her own To one
salesman in large store had said: "You
do not need to pay for your purchase TO-
day. This is large bill. and it might in
convenience you to part with the money.
Let me open an account with you and sim

lady said she went to one Of these stores to

$25 or $50 for them. She told the

went the other day to see some Boston
ladies speculate in stocks in an Office near
Exchange place, writes Prentice Milford.
There were four of them IN a brokers' pri-
vate den. The front office was full of men.
The ticker was going 1t was high noon.
The ladies were buying ION margins. !"
They had bought Delaware & Lackawanna
and were waiting for it to go up. They
were very uneasy and couldn't keep their
seats. l was cool and calm, having bought
no stock. 1 put my oar in as a prophet,
and said Lackawanna would ''go up"
They were overjoyed and wanted to hug
me. did not explain at the time how l
had protected myself in that prophecy.
Lackawanna did go up before 1 o'clock
higher than kite"-that is, it dropped
per cent. Prophecies can be made 10 run
either way, like double ferryboat. All but
one of the ladies put up another Y to pro
tect their margins" The one who didn't
put up went out of the little office 500
worth poorer than when she went in. She
had been told by an acquaintance who
specialized what an easy way to make
money it was. She had only to buy a few
shares of stock, wait an hour or two for it
to go up, then go to the broker. tell him to
''elose it out" and take up in solid green
backs $40 or $50 more than she had put in.
The lady who told this told also how she
had made $500 the day before. 1t was so
easy to make money in this way that the
wonder was that any one should be so fool
ish as to work at all for living. The
brokers' office was, in fact, nothing but
financial pump. You had only to
hang your bucket on the spout, jerk
the handle few times and take it off drip
ping with shekels. That is the reason they
call them ''bucket shops" She did not eX-
plain to the poor lady that sometimes the
pump worked the wrong way and pumped
all the shekels out of your pocket INTO
somebody's else. The first time she went
into this ''will-you-w alk-into- my -parlor-
says-the-spider- affair, they. let
her make-I mean she came out $40 ahead,
and never slept wink that night because
of the plans she was making for the house
she was to build out of the fortune she eX
pected to scoop out of Lackawanna the next
day. She says now she will never specu-
late in stocks again. She thinks it wicked
because she lost.

Protecting Their Rights.

Probably no concern IN the colln-
try has adhered more strictly to the
determination to achieve success by
the liberal use of printers ink than
has the Brown Chemical Company, of
Baltimore, Md. Starting business
about five years ago, they have ex-
pended over $l,500,000 in the prepa-
ration and circulation of printed
matter, more than half of which has
been paid for newspaper advertising.
All Of this has been done TO make
known the virtues of their celebrated
Browns Iron Bitters.
AS might be expected, very large
sales have resulted from this enor-
nous outlay. In fact, Browns Iron
Bitters is about as staple in many
drug stores as is flour at the corner
grocery. Like all good things,
Browns Iron Bitters has been large
ly initiated. There are unscrupulous
manufacturers who cater to just this
sort of trade, and some dealers are so
lacking in principle, that because a
greater profit can be made on fraud
ulent than on genuine medicines,
they are willing to delude the public
by pushing off Iron Tonic Bitters and
other Tonic Medicines in place Of the
genuine Browns Iron Bitters, which
is undoubtedly one of the purest and
best medicines known. These frauds
have been practiced so extensively,
that the Company, finding all other
means inadequate, have at last deter.
mined to Try little cold law 10 put
a stop to them. Suits for heavy
damages have therefore been com.
menced against Frederick, Stearns

facturers, for selling Iron Tonic Bit,
ters; against Meyer Bros. Il Co., Of
ST. Louis, Wholesale Druggists, fol
selling Browns Iron Tonic, prepared
by G. j. Lincoln, Little Rock, Ark.
and against Jas. A. Dickinson, q
druggist in Baltimore, for selling
Iron Tonic B:tters with his name
upon the label, which medicine was
made by Koshland, Hollander g. Co.
of that city, and also claimed as al
imitation. We wish the Brown
Chemical Company every success II
these suits, as it is high time thost

large enterprises such as theirs tC

PRETTY SUITS.
How Two Exceedingly HANDSOME WlntSI
Costumes Are Made and Trimmed.

How Two Exceedingly Handsome Wint9I
Costumes Are Made and Trimmed.
There are many very elegant co.,
tunes with rich fur trimming. One
that is notable for its exquisite fit and
finish is of light gray camels-hair
of fine quality and in heavy weight,
made with kilt-plaited skirt, the
plaits in front running to the teh
as there is no apron, and straight
back draperies. The basque is vory
short on the sides and pointed in front,
and a long looped bow and ends is SET
just over the left hip well back among
the draperies. A satin-lined New
market of the same material is to be
worn with this dress, and is trimmed
entirely around the bottom and down
the fronts just back of the closing but
tons with a band four inches wide of
fine chinchilla fur A gray felt hat
trimmed with chinchilla fur band
around the brim, gray velvet, and a
cluster of gray plumes and an aigrette
finishes this charming costume. A
muff of chinchilla belongs to the outfit.
Another attractive costum is made
Of French gray camels' hair and navy
blue plush, the front of the gray in
three double box-plaits pressed very
close, and the remainder Of the skirt Of
the blue plush, without any foot plait-
ings or other finish than braid. A very
full back drapery of the cGmels' hair
falls over the skirt nearly to the bottom.
The postillion basque is of the camels'
hair with avest of plush, and has plush
reyers, very broad at the top turning
back almost to the shoulders. Instead
of the usual cuff, very long V-shaped
piece of plush is set into the upper side
of the sleeve and Tapped in narrow
band that extends entirely around the
wrist. A short mantle OF plush with
gray feather trimming, and blue
plush bonnet with q sea gull, and loops
of blue and gray velvet completes this
costume.
Combination suits of the various pop
ular fabrics are used, bus fewer are
seen than formerly. SomH of the most
stylish dresses are made entirely OF
boucle goods, more especially the Astra-
khan bourette with tiny vurled rings
of shiny wool. This material, while
not particularly durable, Is so pretty
and soft, and drapes so well, that it has
become extremely popular. There is
