A few choice spirits in the Partisan
fashionable world are wearing ~iannels,
with straw hat and chamois leather
shoes, in tow this summer, Just ss they
would at the seaside. The daring limo
vator who conceived this brilliant idea
showed himself for the fiSt time in this
guise in the Jardin de Paris two weeks
since. and was much complimented by
his friends, who Immediately made up
their small minds to follow his lead.
What fun for the street boysi The fin
de siecles shame the women with their
love for fine clothes. Colored coats have
quite taken the place of black for balls
and parties with the younger members
of the community. The latest fashion
in coats is olive green, with crimson fac
ings
But not content with getting them
selves up like gaudy parrots or perform
ing monkeys, they must do the clown
also. Their coats are OF one color and
lined with another, and so made that
they can be turned inside out. In the
middle of the evening, when the girls
may possibly be tired they thinkN of ad-
miring their faces or their green get-up,
they disappear, turn their coats, and re-
appear in vieux rose or "Eifel" red-a
Transformation which earns them the
applause of their own clan. and a fresh
batch OF admiration from their partners

WYOMING TO THE FRONT
Evanston Rc1isterl

Col. s. W. Downey, the Laramie muse,
immortalized himself while in congress.
Not only was he the first to deliver a speech
in poetry, but he is responsible for the
establishment OF a precedent which has
saved Mr.. Quay the ienominy Of having
his name sent down to posterity through
official history as a; Judas Iscariot" and
a branded criminal"
The New York Post in an editorial
touching the right of congress to mu;i-
late the record by expunginE the utter
Ances Of its members says: There is a
precedent in favor of eliminating from
the permanent edition of the Record a
speech which appeared in the daily edi-
ton. 1t was established in 1880, when
al absurd poem by a Wyoming delegate,
which had never been delivered, was
printed by leave in the daily edition. Mr..
Garfield made the motion for its suppress
sion, but the remarks in which he did So
are published in full in the permanent
edition. and. like those 10 the de.
bate on the Kennedy speech, they re-
veal the real character of the suppressed
~utte-ances.n
Whatever else may be said of Downey'i
famous congressional poem, it has at las
served its purpose. Alter ten years o

rescue OF the leader Of the party of which

Among involuntary gastronomio feats
the most extraordinary was that of a
young woman named Mary Spelmore,
who lived in St. Peters parish, Derby.
In the month OF November, 1910. she
was engaged hanging up linen to dry,
when same sudden emotion caused her
to swallow a small armament Of pins
with which she had stocked her mouth.
A surgeon was sent for, who did all in
his power for the unfortunate girl
Though the retching was constant she
never brought up more than one at a
time, and in three days the total
amounted to seventy-six. Some of them
were very long, and her commissions
were so violent that it took several per-
sons to hold her. Shortly after entering
the hospital at Nottingham tumors
formed on the left side near the shoulder.
These were su%ppurated and opened and
several pins came out of the wounds, In
five months she was discharged cured

Hard days are coming for those who
love to crack and MUNICH the savory pea
nut. and the small boy especially can
prepare for misery. for the price of the
peanut is moving skyward. The high
price is due. it is said, to the short crops
Of last year and the year before. The
best grade of Virginia hand picked pea
nuts is now selling at nine and a half
cents n pound, and it is stated by dealers
that Don the pricewill be ten cents a
pound. The peanuts coming TO this
market are mostly from Virginia. Tho

EVEN the flag OF our country must sub
NIT to the vandal hand Of the Republican
national committee. The stoty is briefly
told in a Washington dispatch to the ST.
Louis Globe Democrat. Il is as follows:
The bill TO prohibit the printing of any
advertising matter on the American flag
was hung up under very peculiar circum
stances. 1t was proposed by Mr.. Cald-
well of Ohio. HIS object was proper and
patriotic. He designed to preserve the
flag in its purity. The bill went through
the house without an obi ection. 1t was
about to pass the senate, when a hurried
objection came from the headquarters OF
the Republican campaign committee. The
reason was that the Republi-
can committee has just had
printed hundreds OF thousands Of
campaign handbooks, the cover of which
represents an American flag. Across the
flag is printed the words. THE grand
old party-true to the AaR." Had the
bill become a law it would have prevented
the circulation OF these handbooks;
accordingly it was shelved until next
session. when the time of the usefulness
of such things as. cOmpaign documents is

In u recent English divorce case it
was stated that a certain letter of an
eminently confidential character was
opened and read in the kitchen. The
simple procedure was to hold the en-
velope over a boiling kettle and relax
the gum. That should be a warning to
everybody who does not wish his private
correspondence to become the talk of his
servants. The wonder is that SO many
persons are contented with the modern
envelope. Made with thick paper and
