That Pretty Young Widow.


 saw such pretty young widow the other day in the most fascinating and utterly be- coming cap that could be imagined. I al ways judge of widows grief by the shape of her cap. I wonder is that unkind? This young lady, feel sure, was no victim to sor row. There was nothing whatever feeding on her damask cheek. am certain that she made that cap herself. It had ruching of crepe lisse in the front, which was bent down la Marie Stuart, and in either space beside the bend was mass of softly fuffed out hair, curled within an inch of its life, and then drawn out so that each individual hair showed an independent little ring of its own.
 We were calling at a friends house where she was staying and we heard the hostess say: "Poor thing! Quite recently lost her husband. Feels it deeply" The cap was coquettish, the fringe was inviting and the countenance was by no means for bidding. Laurel, our American friend, is great on the subject of widows. "I know" she says, "that society expects widows to sit on their husbands collins and make every body uncomfortable, and society is just the first to turn and rend them for doing it. Just you wait until I'm widow. I'll be real smart one. This is the sort of a cap I'll wear. :" And she sketches her own pretty head, with a cap about two inches square on the top and pair of ''weepers" streaming in the air be- hind. 'tThere! shan't I look nicea Oh, girls, wish had been born a widow, that do!' London Truth.

"Why," asked the Mole, pausing in the midst of an excavation contract which mo- body wanted him to continue, while he leis- urely conversed with the Eagle, in order to kill the working time that hangs so heavily upon the ennui stricken hands of the day la- borer. "Why do you sit gazing so steadily up into the dim blue ether?" Because re- piled the King of Birds, who was too fly to get stuck on simple hand woven conun- drum, ''it is soar spot with me-" So say ing, he picked up the humble Deliver of the soil, and made it sore for him.

We are not going to tell how many there are. We don't ask you in the papers to come for meagre lots. Wish they were twice as many. And yet it may not have a wholesome ef- feet on the. market to sell such fine goods for so little. Can't help it. We didn't make the goods; but we made the tumble. In fact we are rather fond of letting water run down hill and putting our wheel in the stream.
 Besides these goods might be bought by someone else and they'd hang on till spring, or next fall, maybe. It is better to throw them out in a mass we do it by making the prices low enough.

Republican County Committee
Meeting.

The Republican County Committee
of Forest County met, pursuant to
call, last evening at the Office of
Chairman Sawyer, who called the
meeting to order at 8 o'clock and
stated the main object to be the setting
of time for holding the Primary
Election. All the townships we're
represented, either by the regular
committeeman or by substitutes from
those townships whose members could
not he present.
In order to test the sense of the
committee on the subject, a motion
was made to hold the primaries on the
last Saturday in June, and after some
discussion, which seemed 10 indicate
that the general sentiment was that that
date was too soon after the election on
the 18th, and that it would be a diff.
cult matter to get out good vote at
that time. The motion was then
amended by fixing the time on the
last Saturday in July, being the 9th
day of the month, and this date was
agreed upon unanimously.
The matter of arranging for new
election districts for the convenience
of voters was also discussed to. some
extent, and a motion prevailed to the
effect that where such new places are
- found to be necessary they shall be
designated by the Chairman at the
suggestion of the committee, and due
notice given of such new place. The
Committee having thus finished its
work, a motion to adjourn Prevailed
