1t is said that years ago Mrs. Scott
Siddons dressmaker advised her to leave
off her corsets. "What, lose me stage

dressmaker urged that she was losing
her figure, anyhow, and that the only
means Of saving it was to take radical
means al once. "Well, here 20 me

meantime her figure below and above
the waist had resumed its normal proper.
tions, her skin had grown two shades
fairer and clearer, and she looked much
younger. Since then she has never worn
a stay. and she says that whereas before
she abandoned them it was all she could
do to drag through the last act, after she
| had dispensed with them she was so fresh
and vigorous that she could have done q
| sixth act and not minded it. She still
| continues to wear very gorgeous gowns.
Here are two that have just been made
for her. The first is amber sole de Pc.

BROkEN.N OkE BILL,
How One OF His GOod stories was
Buined in Telling.

A crowd OF engineers and trainmen
were unloading their weird tales TO
each other, fragments OF which l
could occasionally catch through the
murky atmosphere of profanity sur
rounding them and the gentle frou-frou
OF tobacco juice as it smote upon the
stove, and l thought at times that |
perceived something resembling truth
shining in their midst, but it appeared
to me that ii it was it had Its hat all
smashed in, its collar unbuttoned and
jabhed up under its ears and certain
parts Of its red hose, which had come
through its pants, waving out like a
danger signal on the rear end OF ca
boose on a cold day. Presently, a tall,
angular individual, tottering under the
sobriquet OF Broken-Nose Bill, smiled
sinister smile and said: "There
was monstrous pile of tramps on a
road ont West was runnin' on onst.
They would get on the front of the
baggage car and on top of the coaches
and everywhere, but they seemed
mostly TO take "a fancy TO ridin' in
front Of the cowcatcher, where we
couldn't see 'em good" We got so
used TO havin' them ride there that we
would leave 'em alone. One night |
saw one jump on at a station, and q
few minutes afterward, as we were rip
pin along fifty or sixty miles an hour,
we struck big bull and it rolled up
on the cowcatcher and We carried il
two or three hundred yards before il
dropped off. Then we stopped, and ]

up as one man and catching hold OF
him, "you said it was bull"

ley filed bill Of divorce to-day
against Florence, his wife. Freder.
lex had a penchant for diaries and
when he was married TO Florence al
indianapolis on the oath of May, 1866,
he invested in beautiful book, on
