senator's comprising the committee are
now here namely: Vest, of Missouri chair
man; Henderson, of Nebraska; Plumb. of
Kansas; Cullom, of Illinois and Coke of
Texas. No testimony was taken this
morning.
AT p. m. the committee announced
itself in readiness to begin work. Sena-
tor Vest explained in opening that the
impression had been created that this COM
nittee had some connection with the con-
Nentlon of range associations and butch
crs. This was not the case, further than
1t was thought good opportunity to Sc
cure the testimony of a number of dele

work of the committee. The committee
was not here to defend or
attack any interest. Senator Vest

where cattle worth fully $40 per head had
been sold at so. The prosperous cattle
business went TO pieces in 1885. Witness

beef animals. Prices were also affected by
the fact that rangers were pastured down

How to Be a Success In Life.

TO be grateful for. A start in life of that
sort gives one enlarged advantages and
opportunities. But there are added re-
sponsibilities through belonging to good
family and having enlarged advantages
and opportunities. In order to be sue
cess in life a man must rise above his
starting point To keep on its level is not
enough; he must gain something as the
years go by. If, indeed, a man fails TO do
as well as those whom he follows, and
whom he represents, his failure is the
more marked because of the standing
of those from whose measure he has de-

there was one single exception. Uncle
Archibald Wilson always had good
word to say for old Corbin. Uncle
Archie, as he was called, was one OF

fellow-creatures when i'll was spoken

FRESH FASHION NOTES.
What Stylish Women VIII Wear During
the Coming Season.

the Coming Season.
Syrian velvet in two tones, like shot
silk, is made up with faille Franchise
and Victoria silk.
Tailor-made bodices, English red
ingotes, much cut away at the hips,
over Louis XIV. waistcoats, elegantly
decorated, and French polonaises, ar.
tistically draped and adjusted, divide
favor almost evenly this season.
Dressy house jackets OF almond-col-
ored or Roman-red camePs hair, bor-
dered with cashmere bands in finely
wrought palm and arabesque designs
in gold, silver and mingling of bright
hues, are imported. These are made
to appear loose, yet are on a fitted
lining with darts and side forms ele-
gantly shaped to the figure.
Short visiting wraps and small
visites, with cape sleeves that reach to
the elbow only, are made of black
Lyons velvet, rich-colored velvets, and
also magnificent Oriental broche ma
terials with gold threads interviewer.
These are decorated with Persian
lambskin, and also, for. later wear,
with many kinds of fur, with muff and
French toque to match.
The new hussar coat is very stylish,
with its black silk passementeries
flecled with gold on the jacket fabric
of deep blue or Russian-green cloth.
Sometimes they are decorated with
aiguillettes, or tags, with gold or silver
points. The peculiar style of these
military coats consists in the superb fit
of the shoulders, the majority of them
being slightly wadded.
Among the new suitings are a num-
Der of rough shaggy tweeds, which
are favored by those who like ultra
English effects in gowning. Preference,
however, certainly lies on the side of
fine, soft-surfaced woolens, plain.
striped and plaided. Most of the
draped cloth skirts are made all in one
piece, with the selvages at the belt and
hem, the drapery cunningly lifted here
and there to break the too great
severity of style. The bodice is still
like a tailor habit in appearance, be-
ing pressed and fitted to look as if
nodded ON the figure.
Colored linen collars and cuffs of the
finest quality are worn abroad with
these stylish costumes, and some OF
the linen sets are exceeding neat and
pretty. The color should be carefully
selected so as to set off that Of the
dress, and the dainty little French
''show handkerchief" should match
the collar and cuffs in color. Trines
like these make very great difference
in the appearance, and a little atten-
ton to simple details is well repaid.
The linen at the throat and wrists, the
natty kerchief, The perfectly fitting
glove, the carefully selected shoe and
hose, all serve to stamp the wearer as
woman of culture and refinement

owner For old Corbin was mystery,
and therefore character the discus
sion of which was always ready and
interesting topic among the country
folks far and near; of these there were,
among the older people, those who
had known oldCorbin for twenty years,
and yet they really knew no more about
him than did the most recent new
conner in the neighborhood. Some
twenty years had he lived alone in the
little cabin ON the bluffs. Indeed, he
was one OF the pioneer settlers of the
locality; for when he had first come
to the settlement, the whole country
was an almost unbroken forest; here
and there, at intervals of several miles,
stood the cabins Of a few hardy settlers
who had migrated to the then new
State, the far West of those days, and
among these was Corbin, then a man
of middle age, and in strength and
physical rigor magnificent specimen
of manhood
On his arrival he had at once entered
n claim for quarter section of land
extending along the creek bluffs, and
building his little cabin set about clear
ing up a patch of ground Immediately
adjoining. This was accomplished in
year or two, and with it ended al

THEY ARE SEVEN


+" How many roses are there, dearr'
asked little maid.
"Seven," she answered, counting them
With eyes demurely staid.
Why, no, dear; one has fallen down
Here on the shelf you see;
And standing in the pretty vase
Together there are three.
"The other three are in the glass,
Only reflected there
She looked and nodded in assent
That little maiden fair
"Three in the vase, one fallen down,
And in the mirror three:
Add them together, auntie dear;
There will be seven, you see."
Itook the vase down from the shelf.
Now, Annie, come, look here;
Only four roses with them all
Together-that is clear"
With eyes serene, and far more calm
Than Wordsworth's little maid,
Sweet Annie heard my protest through,
And listened undismayed.
II were you, she gently said,
With blue eyes raised TO Heaven,
I'D put them back there on the shelf,
And then there would be seven"
And, after ALL is she not right?
It's just the point OF view;
A grateful heart knows how to make
One blessing seem like two.
