that IL had been Arranged--the boys had
6xed everything very nicely that there

WAS to be trotted in light skeleton racing

- to get into one OF the things, and TO
think Of flying around the track in one OF

other party insisted that the race could't

and Parkinson was finally drawn into con.

and trembling expecting to 20 through to
the ground at the first step.
Almost before be knew ii they had got
squared up and we're of. Parkinson
hardly knew where he was. His horse
broke twice on the way round. and he was
badly left when they came in at the pole.
"The boys were wild. But Parkinson
had been around the track and had not
broken down. He had regained his con-
fidence and Was excited aud determined.
The next heat he drove his horse like
. master, and the animal fairly outdid
himself II was . most exciting and des.
perate contest, and Parkinson came in first
by about neck.
The boys looked little dubious, but
the chances we're still with them. They
cheered the other fellow, and remarked
that the old mans weight would tell on

contest. They were neck and neck until
they reached the home stretch, when
Parkinson urged his horse to . magnia-
cent spurt. and won the race by good
half length.
To have seen him when he put the S400
in his vest in his vest pocket, you would
have thought that he weighed 1000
pounds insted of $50. He has matched
his trotter with another that looks so
much like 1t that II is almost impossible

ness centers of the country show a large
aggregate increase Of business for nearly
every week since January ], as compared
with the corresponding period of last

any degree of accuracy. and therefore its
results are generally accepted as fairly
indicative OF the state OF trade.

Bathing as n Modesty Shocxer.

BIZ arp, atlanta Constitution
Learning to SWIM is an art that all
children should enjoy, for it may save
their lives and enable them to save the
lives Of others. But | have no patience
Or toleration tor the modern custom of
promiscuous bathirg. whether at the sea
shore or elsewhere may be mistaken,
of course, but my opinion is that girl
has lost her modesty when she goes kick
ing around in the water with a passed. of
boys. Forty years ago it WAS not sus-
pected that young ladies had any legs.
We knew they had feet and aux les. but
beyOLd that was terra incrgnito. But
now they have legs, lots of 'em, and are
anxious to dispel all doubts upon the
subject. | understand they have organ
lied a bathing club in Rome, and both
sexes go kicking around together. You
may talk about square dances. round
dances, and hexagons and octag"ns and
the german, but this bathing bu>int SIS
beats all kinds of dances for shocking
modesty out of a woman and making IA
fool of man. Sam Jones hasn't heard of
it yet, but he will. suppose the mem.
hers of that club are all orphans and
don know any better.

The Way General Dow Became IA Prohibit
ZIONIST.
ChicGgo Nail.
General Neal Dow says he has been
id n;itied with the temperance moye-
meuJ tor torty-ti.e Years. The way he
first became cold-waler advocate was
this: His wife had brother who was
employed in the post Office i'll Portland.
He was IA most efficient official, and on
account of his ability was greatly valued.
But he was hard drinker, aud every
now aud then would go off on "a spree
for IA week at time. Ii, had large
family of interest ling children dependent
upon him. There was only one place in
Portland where he could go to drink.
If that rum seller refused to sell liquor
to him he would not drunk. Dow went
to this rum seller and told him the story.
lie explained how it was necessary for
the salvation of this man and his family
that he should stop giving him liquor
He replied at is my business to sell
upon me. cannot refuse to sell to any
one that comes along, and do not want
any advice from you as to how | shall
conduct my business" Then" said
General Dow, Il turned on him and re-
piled: SO you support your family by
destroying other families. Well, so help
me God intend to live long enough to
put your traffic down." From that
moment General Dow has devoted the
greater part of the energies of his life to
putting what he calls the grog shops
down.

The case of the late mad King Louis IF
Bavaria revived the very old question as
to where reason ends and madne SIS be-
gins. Apropos of the discussion, IA French
paper tells a story. During one of his

authority in matters con-
corning insanity. a desire To meet one OF
his patients. Nothing easier" sid DR..
Blanche; come and take dinner witt.

found himself seated at the dinner table
OF the famous allenist in company with
two unknown guests. One OF them, who
was dressed in black. with white cravat,
spectacIes. aud who had a
smooth face and very bald head. sat with
great gravity through tie entire dinner.
He was evidently gent leman of I'm.
doubted manners. but very taciturn. lie
bowed, ate and said not word. The
otherg guest, on the contrary, wore a great
shock of hair bru he'd wildly into the
air; his shabby blue coat was buttoued
askew, his collar was rumped, and the
ends of his crazy necktie fl ,ated over his
shoulders. lie helped himself. ate and
chartered at the same time. Story upon

He mixed the past with the present, flew
from Swedeubnrg to Fourier, from Cleo

Lamartine, aud talked politics and itera-
ture in the same breath At the desert
Humboldt leaned over aud whispered in
his hosts car, glancing at the same time
at the fantastic parsonage, whose dis
course WAS still running on: :" / am very

Pioneer Exhibit Of The Newest Dress
Fabrics - The Very First FUll
Arrival

The first complete showingS Of
positively new i;,ncicS in Foreign
Dress Goods for Fall and Winter
wear which have Vet made their APP
pearancc in this city are now open
at our counters, and cordial invi-
tation is ext .ndrd ladies every
where t" inspect the entire line.
Many of the STYLES are cxclu-
Sivc, which makes thi. exhibit all
the more interesting, and it I'M
questionablv reveals the ruin" ta>t"
of the year, being made up Of the
choicest wcavcS from the recognized
fashion leader, of the Old World.
The departures from prior crra-
tons are most radical. Stripes pre-
dominate; but Stripes never had
such Significance before. They are
both faint and bold. They run
along on even surfaces; they twist
around in curious spiral curves :;
they drop into hairlincS and come
out in fuzzy strokes; they broaden
into ribbon bands, and stand out
like whip cords.
But explanations like these don't
explain. And after all, this IS only
one vein. There is also variety
of little Checks and lIclring-boncS,
and of fabrics which arc called plain,
but which upon Il closer view VIII
be found to run into multitude OF
rich and curious wcavcS.
What we principally want to
make plain is, that this is an ;id-
vance importation Of styles which
have the Endorsement of the best
fashion authorities, in Europe, and
which are sure to be widely patron
lied i'll this country during tie
coming season. This the indi~put-
able Sequel will prove in the dis
play of street costumes which will
.,c seen on fashionable thorough
fares during the earl V Fall and
Winter DAYS. Meanwhile, we invite
everybody to visit our Novel En-
hibit of the coming Dress Fabrics.

WHY THEY MARRIED.

That's what l have been trying for
eleven years to find out"
Married to get even with her mother,

young men had proposed to her,
''The old man thought eight years
courtin' was almost long enough"
Il was lonesome and melancholy, and
wanted some one to make me lively. n
b She makes me very lively"
81 was tired of buying ice cree m aud
candies and going to theatres aud church,
and wanted rest. Have save money
''Please don't stir me up
because | thought she was one among
a thousand: now l sometimes think she
is a Thousand among one.'
Because | did not have the experience
| have now"
1.-The governor was going to give me
his foot, SO took his daughters hand"
81 thought it would be cheaper than
breach-of- promise suit
That's the same fool question that
my friends and neighbors ask me-
Because l had more money than
knew what to do with. Now | have more
to do than | have money to do it with"
81 wanted a companion of the oppo-
site sex. p. S.--She is still opposite"

WHERE IT DOES THE MOST GOOD.

There's a great deal of bliss in the lingering
kiss,
And oceans of solid rapture;
There are lots of fun i'll stolen one
Ii you re clever about the capture.
The cutest trick in kiss that's quick
Is to put it where it belongs
To see that it goes below the nose
And knocks at the gate of songs.
a kiss that is cold may do for the old,
Or pass with a near relation
But one like that is a worK-that's flat
OF supererogation.
1T you re going to kiss be sure of this
That the girl has got some heart in her;
| wouldn't give fig for the full of barn
OF kisses without a partner.
The point of this rhymeis to take your time;
Kiss slowly, and do it neatly,
If you do the thing right and are halfway
bright,
You can win her sweet heart completely.
