Extensive feminine revelations al

from bathing one day looking unmiS-

his mother; why do you leave the

taking powder puff from her pocket
and calmly apply it to her face while
she appeals to his sympathy with tale
OF her dreadful cOrnS. One couldn't

the woods, mingled with a delicate
orchid or two and green MOSES, were
ranged about miniature pool of water
which formed the central decoration.
A delicate maidenhair fern, planted in
a tiny vase of china, stood by each plate
as the breakfast favor. Throughout the
meal the color green was preserved as
far as possible, all the fruit being
served surrounded by fern fronds.
The pretty girl who gave the break
fast wore gown of fern green China
silk, which made her look like a
wood goddess whose skin the sun had
graciOusly forborne to tan. Fern seed,
which is tabled to make one invisible,
was flung in laughing ceremony over
the group to make its session the more
confidential, the ban being removed
later when some tennis players began to
show on the lawn ready for game.
Breakfasts where all the decorations
were of striped grass have been given,

for green things, is an oak lunch,
oak leaves supplying the basis of the

Your coal will be very little higher, and
the steel sheets much lower by the saving

will be first class expert in the business

A Dogs Sense Of Guilt.

The raid which Larkin's dog made
upon our camp was amusing rather than
annoying. BE was very friendly and
intelligent shepherd dog, probably 8
collie. Hardly had we sat down to our
first lunch in camp before he called oD
us. But as he was disposed TO be too
friendly, and to claim too large a share
of the lunch, We rather gave him the
cold shoulder. He didn't come again !;
but q few evenings afterwards, as We
sauntered over to the house on some
trifling errand, the dog suddenly con.
ceiged q bright little project. He seemed
to say to himself, on seeing us: There
comes both of them now, just as have
been hoping they would; now while they
are away will run quickly over and
know what they have got that q dog can
eat"
MY companion saw the dog leave on
our arrival, and go quickly in the direc-
tion of our camp, and he said that some.
thing in the cur's manner suggested to
him the object of Lis hurried departure:
He called my attention to the fact and
we fastened back. On cautiously near.
ing camp the dog was seen amidst the
pals in the shallow water of the creek,
investigating them. He had uncovered
the butter and was about to taste it when
we shouted, and be made quick steps for
home, with very "kill sheep" look.
When ne again met him at the house
next day he could not look US in the
face, but sneaked of, utterly crestfallen.
This was clear case of the sense of guilt
from wrong doing. The dog will proba.
bly, be man before any other animal is.

Political leaders and calculators, as a

contet is being fought on old party7lines,
BY old party methods, and that the result
can be estimated by old party records.
It is possible that the result Of the COM
ing November election may run on the
same general party lines as did the
contest of 1884, with variations in very
few of the closer .StateH, but it is quite
probable that both parties may be sur

.sltis commonly accepted by leaders of
both sides that New York is the battle
ground of the contest and that the elec-
toral vote of that State will decide the
Presidency. We do: not soaregard it..
On the contrary, We believe that the

New York to assure his election, although
it is most likely that the Empire State
will vote for the successful candidate.
