SHE LOST HER GARTER.
A Pretty Miss in a Store Who Advertises for
Silk Elastic Band


A Pretty Miss in a Store Who Advertises for q
Silk Elastic Band.
Chicago Mail.
"Lost-Elastic garter (black and
white) with silver buckle, near Clark
and Washington streets. Please return to
= State street and get reward -
Such was the advertisement that a Mail
reporter happened to light upon this
morning.
Curious to see how the owner would re-
ceive the finder should the discoverer
prove to be a man, the wicked reporter
called at the address given and asked for
the young lady who had recently been
separated from portion of her wearing
apparel.
III answer to his query pretty young
blonde came sailing toward him, with a
smile on her lips and Il bright bit of color
i'll her cheeks.
Just behind her stood group of girls !,
their eyes sparkling with Il keen APP
probation of the humorous side of the
situation.
CANCELS and ministers of grace defend
us,' calculated the now thoroughly
frightened reporter on catching sight of
this formidable array.
When the fair and blushing blonde was
approached she was asked:

the mate to it, " producing large gar
ter similar to the one described in the pa
per.
"Well, 1 represent a friend said the
reporter, "who found an article very
much resembling this one. My friend
however, is too diffident to present him
self in person, and asked me to call and
see if the two were the same
'This one, - he continued, "seems to
be an unusually large one, and l think
is much wider than the one my friend
found -
ooh, this one has been stretched more,
that is ALL eagerly responded the
blonde. ''You see, this one goes on my
right
81 didn't catch that last - said the
reporter, innocently bending forward and
preserving grave face. "What did you
say?''
81 didn't say anything said the
blonde, blushing furiously, ''except that
this one is more elastic than the other,
which makes the difference in their

"Slipped off, did you say?''
''No, didn't mean that, l mean the
buckle became unfastened and it dropped
off -

porter, after respectable interval of
silence had followed, - for ladies TO dec

MANSIONS WITH COURT YARDS.
Suggestion to the Builders OF Residences for
the Rich.
American Architect.

1t is possible that the rapidly increas-
ing intercourse between this country and
the Spanish-American republic may have
an important influence upon our archi-
lecture, which has hitherto been derived
almost exclusively from English and
Dutch prototypes. One of the first Latin
habits to be domesticated among us will,
we hope, be the use of the courtyard i'll
city mansions.
For small houses in closely built towns
the slice of building with Il narrow front
and rear, must, we suppose, con-
tinue to be employed; but for
the city dwellings of rich peo-
pie the entrance by a porte cochere
into private courtyard like that of IL
large Mexican or South American house,
or !; mansion in the FaubOrg Saint-Ger-
main, in Paris, with its fountain, its
orange trees and aZaleaS, and its faithful
concierge to keep the gate closed against
intruders, gives an air of aristocratic eX-
clusiveness, rs well as an impression of
happy and well bred home life, guarded
from insOlent intrusion, which is not con-
veyed by Il much larger area on the out
side of the buildings, as i'll the Wander
bilt or Stewart grass plots in New York,
or the doleful, high walled front yards
of the great London houses.

The UseIessness of corsets.


No mother should allow her daughter
to wear stays. If girl never begins to
wear corsets promise her she will not
require them. But woe if she once be-
gins to wear them. for they weaken the
spine, and, once weakened, it cannot
dispense with the false support it has long
depended upon. Believe me, the
most graceful figures are those which
have never been in steel or whalebone. 1
will risk all l possess in wager that if
you never put stays on little girl she
will not require them when she becomes
woman, and she will have figure that
every one will admire and covet. A
young girl with slight, supple, yet firm
figure, certainly needs no corset, and
woman, however stout she may be, will
always look fieshier and sitter in stays
than without them.

WHY AMBER IS EXPENSIVE.
1t Comes from the Baltic Seat is Obtained by
Dredging and Diving.
New York Mail and Express.

New York Mail and Express.
"Why is it that amber is so expen-
sive?" asked a reporter for the Mail and
Express OF a Nassau street plpemaker re-
Gently.
"'Because it is not very plentiful, and
great. The only place where it is found
to any great extent is in the Baltic sea.
There the vein runs from Russia to Den
mark, Norway and Sweden. In the olden
times it used to be picked up on the
shores of the Baltic, where it was
washed after a heavy storm. A number
of persons used to make their livelihood
by collecting the amber, and they do
now, for all | know. The demand for it
during the past few years has grown so
much that engineering appliances are
used to collect it. Dredging boats are
sent out i'll the fine weather. These boats
have long strings of iron pals that are
constantly dragging up the bottom of the
sea and turning their contents on to the
decks Of the boats. There the amber is
quickly picked out and the remainder
thrown overheard. Another method of
collecting amber is by the diver. The
divers go down with the regular divers
costume, and by means of the air-pump
are enabled to remain under the water
for four or five hours. All the amber
these men collect they place in a bag and
on coming to land are rewarded according
to their find. This vein of amber has
been found TO run under the land as well
as under the sea, and Il mine has now
been sunk to a depth of $50 feet below
the sea level, and is worked just like a
coal mine -

A Great Genius.

A young lady went into the Office of a
literary magazine.

the editor. cit is striking and strictly
original.
''Leave it," the editor groaned.
Let me read it to you.
''Not if you value your life!'' the ed
itor exclaimed.
"Sir!''
81 said that I must go home to my
wife.
"'Well, let me tell you part of the
story: A young girl is working in a hat
factory. One day she stitches her name
in the hat;
"And afterward meets the fellow who
buys the hat and marrjes him?'' the edi-
tor exclaimed.
ooh, no. That night the factory
catches fire and is burned up
''What! Does no one rescue the hat
and marry the girl?''
"'No.'

want everything you write. You have
done great work for American litera-
ture.

There Is pathos as well as humor in the
following story of an Albany, Oregon,
boy: Shortly after his mothers death
he, with his father, visited her grave,
being carried there by a horse which his
father had recently bought. The father
standing apart from the grave, was nat
urally in contemplative frame of mind,
and the boy, being unable to stand the
oppressive silence any longer, lifted his
childish voice and said: ''Ma, we've

being his 35th wedding anniversary. All
arrangements were made, plans under

time arrived only fortunate few could
get there; Minnesota blizzard in all its
primitive beauty and splendor was rag

friends from connecting. The few who
got there report splendid time. The rest

most jubilant affair they made OF it.
They passed an old-time social evening,
and presented their hosts Mr.. and Mrs.

are fully justified in hoping that John

after his loans. He usually carries con-
siderable cash upon his person.
At the time of the robbery he had been
boarding with J. P. Bennett, who lives
near the village of Glenville in the south
ern part of Freeborn county. A person
having the appearance of stylish, we'll
dressed young lady drove up to hotel in
Glenville one day shortly before Christ

proceed further on as she had some busi-
ness matters to talk over. Just east of
Gordonsvllle she directed the driver to
get out and wait as she wished to have a
confidential talk, she drove over hill
and was gone twenty minutes or so. On
their return the party proceeded to
Gordonsville where Tanner took the train
and the woman was driven to Northwood
where the driver was discharged and the
woman disappears from view. 1t turns
out that the pretended woman was man
in disguise and while over the hill with
Tanner had robbed him of certificates of
deposit in Austin and Albert Lea banks
amounting to large sum and 81, 400 in
cash. The certificates we're returned to
him in an envelope postmarked at St..
Paul, but the cash, like the woman" is
still missing The probabilities of their
being found seems slim. Little interest
will be taken in the pursuit by outsiders
on account of the miserly habits of the
old man. So
