IKE AND HIS MOTHER.
Mrs. Partington Isn't a Great Success
in the Witness Stand.
HER ENCOUNTER WITH AN ELDER.
The Wonderful Things Her Sailor Boy
Brought From over the Seas.
HIS EXPERIENCE WITH CANNlBALS
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATCHl

The case in which Mrs. Partington was
called to appear as a witness, came up be-
fore full bench of one, and she attended,
with much trepidation, for five days before
being called to testify. There were no gowns
nor wigs here, but the Judge wore CON-
mon dress and the attorneys followed suit.
At last the case was called and Mrs. Part
ington took the stand.
"Are you the relict of Paul Partington?''
was the first question.
"Well, never was called relic before, -
she replied; "and am hardly fit obstacle to
be put among brick-a-bats, but am his
widow"
"All the same, ma'am; and do you re-
member anything of note given by your
late husband to Timothy Diggs, October 5,
1S47, for strip of land adjoining the Part
ington estate at Beanville?"
"Oh, yes. several of them. Notes were
going on. pro and con, between them all the
time. First Paul wrote and then Diggs;
then Diggs wrote and Paul responded; then
Paul wrote and Diggs wrote back, and they
kept on until the postage stamps gave out.
There never was such an ALTERATION, do
believe"

"Oh, yes, his notes were all off hand, and
very eligible"
"Did you ever know of Paul Partington's

necessary. The surgeon operated at the
Generals home, in Lowell, February H.,
and now the lid droops no more than that of
his other eye. But the caricaturists will not
give him up, for,his features are still dis
tinctive. 1t is said General Butler is the
best known man in America, and he has the
caricaturists largely to thank for it. And
he never blamed them, indeed in secret he
enjoyed looking at their pictures of him.
Ben Butler still carries a rose in his
buttonhole, and this rose was one of the re-
mains of his romance. His wife was an
actress, and she was playing GAS You Like
II" when General Butler saw her and fell
in love with her. He married her, and she
made him an excellent wife. She was the
mother of his two sons and one daughter,
and was highly esteemed by all. She was

colored ribbon, folded back and forth,
something like tape trimming, and sewed
down fatty.
The flowers and leaves are made with
soft cigar ribbon. First the pattern is

IKE's NOVEL GIFTS.

He made longer voyages, and when he re-
turned to the old homestead all the girls de-
clared he was "red Satan;'' but Mrs. Part
ington held him under her dominion as of
old, which he obeyed about as much as he
ever did. He was only the boy Ike to her,
as he always would be. The old house was
a museum of presents he had brought her
from time to time-pagodas, temples, carved
elephants and pagan cities, with drawer
full of silk dresses and satin curtains.
"And are such things really worshiped ?"
she asked, as Ike put a hideous figure of an
idol upon her center-table.
Certainly" he replied, "and more than
that. When was in Bingpon, 1 came
across big black idol that wlnked at me;
and when looked little down, saw that
it was our old cook on the Seven Pollies,
whom you remember. He was sitting cross
legged on post ten feet high, and seemed
to enjoy it.
"How preposterousP' said Mrs. Parting
ton; "why don't the missionaries stop it?''
Because" said Ike, "they haven't got
money enough. They are only working for
their board, lack means"
"Did they try to apostrophize you?" she
asked.
'.I guess you'd better think so. In one
place that 1 visited, where they friccasee a
Hindoo baby before their altars every morn
ing, one of the priests chased me for three
miles, with a spit, to serve me up as a
roast"
IKE AND THE CANNIBALs.
'To make sacrament of you" screamed
Mrs. Partington with horror.
"Yes," said Ike, and the only way 1
escaped was to fall down and let him tumble

threaded into darning needle and pushed
through the scrim in the center of each rose.
Each petal takes two loops, an, outside one
of light pink, the inside one a deeper shade
of the same. The ribbon is carried through
from wrong to right side, then the needle is
pushed through to the back at nearly the
same point where it went in. The loop left
on the right side is formed into as near a
petal shape as possible, and caught into po-
sition by stitches taken invisibly with fine
silk threaded into another needle.
After the petals of flower are formed, a
little paper disk Is covered with palest yel-
low ribbon laid in the center and held down
by long stitches crossed and recrossed with
yellow embroidery silk. French knots,
worked with silk, encircle the central disk
in each flower. The leaves are made of folive
green ribbon, one loop sufficing for leaf.
The stems are wire of single stem-stitching
done with green silk. The buds are made
with loop of pink showing between loop
of green opening in the center. A few spiky
stitches Of embroidery silk at the top of each
bud gives q more natural look.
The basket may be repeated on each panel,
or the same kind of flowers and leaves can
be arranged like festoon on the two out
side panels. On the back OF the decorated
upper panels of the screen short, scantily
gathered curtains of pink or white material
are put on to hide the wrong side OF the
work. MRS. M. G. HUNGERFoRD.

which had been overlooked by the Depart
ment of Public Works. Not only was the
-oval toe bruised, but the royal temper was
irritated. Summoning the grand vizer to
him, the commander of the faithful issued
an edict that within "a hours the whole
earth was to be covered with leather, in
order to preclude the possibility of the re-
currence of second catastrophe like that
from which the lord of the harem was now
suffering. Should the royal mandate not

one-had brilliant idea. As the result of
this the great potentate was waited upon at
the expiration of the appointed time by a
bowing and scraping committee, who. with
all due respect, presented to His Royal
Highness a pair-the first pair-of shoes.
Behold, the edict obeyed! The entire earth

ROMANCE OF THE SLIPPER.
AL the world knows the pretty tale of
Cinderella, the charming little creature i'm
posed upon by ugly elder sisters who were
envious of her fresher charms; how they
tried to conceal her charms in ugly clothes;
how the tiny slipper came and how after the
ugly sisters had done all they could to
squeeze one of their ill-shaped feet into the
little glass slipper, Cinderella tried it on
and sit fitted her perfectlyp' We were
forced then TO the conclusion that the loss
OF the wee shoe was bit of fairy trickery,
rather than an accident, tor how could the
Prince ever have found his true love without
this clew to guide him?
From that day to this the shoe has been
favorite subject for romance. No one can
forget Goody Two Shoes, nor the German
tale of the golden slippers that danced so in
deiatigably all night. And there were the
cruel hot iron slippers, too, in which the
unkind sister was condemned to waltz until
she dropped dead; story recalled by many
q martyr to corns and high-heeled dancing
pumps, as she whirled through ballroom,
enduring her misery with smiling face.
Remembering all this, it is not cause
for surprise that the modern maiden be-
slows so much attention upon this por-
tion of her attire. II she is ultra-tashion-

4 FAIR GLOBE CIRCLER,
Miss Leland Travelled all Alone and Was
InsuIted but Once.

uAhso A<uiauu hi 1iOuo anu was
InsuIted but Once.
Miss Lillian Leland, a handsome young
woman of 25, had an opportunity to 90 from
New York to San Francisco by sea. The
voyage sharpened her appetite for travel,
and she continued her journeying till she
accomplished 60, 900 miles, without an escort
or acquaintance on the road; explored the
pyramids of Egypt, fearless OF Arabs and
swarming beggars and robbers. She went
around the world and made extensive ex-
plorations in the interior of japan. She
"did" Norway, Constantinople and the
Holy Land.
In journey which lasted a year and a
half never but once was she subjected to an
noyance or insult. That, of course, you will
say, happened in some of the heathen ORR
entail countries, where woman is treated as a
slave and regarded as an inferior being.
But no, it was not. 1t was in the civilized,
Christian city of Paris. Miss Leland pre-
served her temper and self control under all
circumstances, and thus kept out of troubles
into which an excitable woman would have
run her head at every step. 1t is regarded
as something remarkable that a pretty
girl should thus be able to circumnayigate
the globe in safety alone. But why
shouldn't it be?

able and owns purse to match her desires,
she possesses shoes and slippers for every
conceivable occasion. There are bed slip
pers, if she suffers from cold extremities;
bath slippers, into which to thrust her feet
as soon as she rises; high heeled mules, to
wear when en- dishabille; dancing slippers,
of Louis-Quinze fashion; beaded, en-
broidered, Droeaded slippers of every color
and material, to match various costumes;
low cut ties, for warm weather wear; tennis
shoes, bathing shoes, heavy boots for noun
tain and seaside tramps, thin boots for re-
ceptions, medium boots for the carriage,
stout boots for the promenade, riding boots
for horseback exercise, Polish boots, to pro-
tect her slippered feet en- route to the ball,

uppers, or CATERS, to vary the monotony of
the plain black kid shoe top.
AN INDEX TO CHARACTER.
While it is beyond the power of all but
favored few to indulge their fancies to the
above reckless extent, yet there are not

feet-who would not if they could be more

equal force be styled irrational. One sell
dom sees on the streets, worn by the best
classes, the absurdly high-heeled shoe that
pitches the wearer forward at an angle once
fashionably know as the "Grecian bend. "
Only the very foolish or the very young
woman nowadays crowds her foot into
a shoe decidedly too small for it. Com
mon sense and economy both depre-
cate the practice-common sense because
tight shoes induce red hands and nose.

WRITING ON CAST IRON,

Made OF PRACTICAL Use.
Boston Herald.I
Mr.. John Farrar, foreman of the G. W.
& f. Smith Iron Company, of Boston, has
sent to the Herald three small cast iron
plates, one OF which is 3151 by inches, on
which is cut in sunken letters-etched-
the Lords prayer in bold handvrit-
ing, and the other two. each by 6
inches, containing outline drawings
one with three sketches-a pig in an in,
closure, swans on water, and a deer. with
pyramids In the distance, and the other
plate contained an outline drawing of a
horse.
Referring to these plates, Mr.. Farrar said !:
What you see on them is done with a COM

paper, when prepared, is pinned into sand

Abraham entertained strangers who proved
to be angels"
"Yes," she replied, ''but angels do not go
round nowadays, begging cider on Sunday
afternoons"
The logic was unanswerable and Mrs.
Partington closed the door, while the
young men went down and took a cool
drink from the old oaken bucket that hung
in the well.
Ike had grown to mans estate during the
intervening year, and become first officer of
the Storm Petrol, Captain Pelton, the
Seven Pollies having become too old for
service, about which the name of Mrs. Part
ington, her former passenger, so strangely
clung, that her timbers were sawed up into
canes by tine DANES admirers. Some one
wrote charming poem tributary to the
first beginning.

The controversy which has excited 50

the negative. DIR. Frederic Furnivall, the
