the dresscoated walters from the
guest Two of the checkers inside
the cloak room were drunk. A guest
says: 4 saw more respectable wo

Sense Of Equity,

Sir Richard Bethel, whose great
ability as 81 chancery lawyer made
him Lord Chancellor, had @ hot tenn
per, but it's outbursts were quickly
quieted by an appeal to his sense OF
equity.
Sir Richard, one day, ordered his
coachman to take colt which the
master had bred to a neighboring
fair, and sell it rnot less than forty
pounds. The man, however, sold the
colt for thirty-eight pounds. Sir
Richard was angry, and said to the
coachman:
"Paice, you have disobeyed my
positive instructions. You are dis
missed"
"Well, Sir Richard" the coachman
answered, "that is very hard. ]
took thirty-eight pounds for the colt,
for if l had brought it back the cost
of it's keep for the next three months
would have amounted to more than
the difference in the price. 1 shan't
take my dismissal for such a cause. u
every well, PAIGE, so be it" replied
Sir Richard, struck with the equity
of the plan. The man remained in
his masters service for the rest o1

A Sad Situation.
New York Fashion Bazaar.

New York Fashion Bazaar.
/ remember being taken by my
mother when I was child to see
poor woman who was dying of a can
Ger. The disease was eating it's way
to vital part and her doctor had
given her month as her utmost
limit of life. She was preparing for
her end in way that seemed practi-
cal and prosaic enough, but that
struck me as pathetic in it's self-for-
getfulness. She was sitting up in bed,
with a basket beside her, finishing up
the family mending, showing her
eldest daughter-on whose thirteen
year-old shoulders the burden of
household care was soon to fall-how
to fell down seams in the little
brothers knee patches and how to
darn the heel of fathers sock
so that he would never feel
the difference. She had impressed
upon the girl how to make her IA
theirs favorite potato pone, how to
manage her young sister when she
got into the sulks, what to do for
her father when he had his periodical
fit of cramps-and everything else
she could think of that would insure
comfort in the humble home she was
leaving She had all the work planned
which she would do during the short
span of life that was given to her.
Her burial clothes were folded away
in a drawer with sweet basil leaves
among them. was reminded of the
incident by reading in a paperrecent-
ly of a man in Milwaukee who is pre-.
pairing for something that is even
more terrible than death-insanity.
7 fl will be violently insane in a few
weeks, and he knows it. Some time
AGO his skull was fractured; gristle
is fast forming about the cracked
edges, which will surely press upon
the brain and make him maniac.
He talks calmly and nationally of
his approaching fate, and spends
every moment of his brief term of
sanity in making provisions for his
family when he shall no longer be
able to care for them. 1t is a situa-
ton worthy the pen of a novelist like
Daudet.

A RICH AND ELEGANT DIsPLAY.
Ladies Go Into Ecstasies over the ENhib
it-Brief Mention of the Novelties

it-Brief Mention of the Novelties
A writer with the most fertile brain
could not begin 10 do justice 10 the
rich display of ladies' costumes, general
furnishings and trimmings to be seen
in the rOtunda of the Morton House,
which is made 10y Madame Roos, of De-
troit, importer and designer OF ladies'
costumes.
To sum the exhibit up in as few words
as possible, the least that can be said of
it is that it is without question the
most magnificent collection Of rich and
elegant goods for street, opera or house
costumes ever seen in the city. To be
appreciated the elegant array must be
seen.
Madame Roos is making her first visit
10 Grand Rapids, and she Will remain
until Saturday. Yesterday was the
opening day of the display, and prob
ably 200 ladies visited the Morton
House and inspected the beautiful
goods. Many orders were taken, and
the Madame Is more than pleased with
her reception by the ladies of Grand
Rapids.
The lady has a number of attractive
and very elegant wraps for street wraps
for street or opera wear. Evening hats
and bOnnets, high novelties in brocaded
silks, twO-tOned silks, laces, gauZes and
other equally Is desirable goods. The
magnlfccnce of each article displayed
can not be realized until after it il j:
viewed, and it is 10 the interest of any
body that appreciates beautiful good:
| TO give the Madame a visit.
| The lady visits Paris annually, and
| carefully inspects the fashions as they
are to be seen at the great center OF
| fashiOn-Paris. The display she il
making at the Morton House are direc
| importations, and most OF the good,
| have not been out of the custOm-hous,
more than five days. Nothing is showr
but what is of the very latest style; il
fact the lady has dress patterns off ot
which costumes at the Paris exposition
were made. The elegant noveltie
indeed form a beautiful and shOwl
sight and one long TO be remembered
