Ben Thon,:,son's Great Record.

writer in the St. Paul Pioneer Press

! | was introduced to Thompson
at Austin, Texas, and the meeting
was not in saloon, a gambling
! house, nor even hotel. The place
was a quiet. orderly ice cream par
lor, and Ben Thompson and his
wife were eating strawberry cream
at Il table near by to & coterie of
high school girls, one Of them being
a daughter Of Ex-Governor Ireland,
Of Texas. ... ....
Thompson was a small-sized man
yet not slender He was elegently,
yet not showely dressed; his clothes
indicated q cossah il taste, a diamond
stud and a thread Of gold watch
chain comprising all his personal
jewelry. He was a handsome man
Of As, with a small, black mustache
and hazle eyes.
Yet this man had record Of
having killed Is white men and
twice that number Of M.Sicans
ana Indians. A few months later
he was himself killed in San Anto-
MO, along with Kingfsher, in
hand-to-hand conflict with two
other men in the Vaudeville Thea
ter.
lie was never known to take an
unfair advantage Of an enemy, a
number of his victims hs wing had
the first shot at him. Once in a
store he ordered 4 man with whom
he was engaged in lively dispute
TO so outside and pass around the
block to the right; he would pass
a:oand to the left and meet him,
They did go; the man blazed away
at Thompson with a shotgun loaded
with buckshot, missed, went into
the air at the crack of Ben's rcvoi-
vcr and fell corps.
And thus with every case of
Thompson's numerous killings tie
pre|iminaries were always hvored
with dash of dr.. matte sensation
alism.
"a As Thompson and his wife !
passed out of the ice cream bazaar
| noticed that she had but one arm.
The other had leen shattered by a
Winchester ball in Denver, when
she threw it across Bens head
upon discovering a crouching form
drawing a head on him. At the
time Of his death Thompson was
city marshal of Austin. .. B.,

1t was not many months ago that
two lawyers who were tryinga case
in court not far from this city
bul]dozed and blackguarded each
other until virtuperation and insult
lost their sting, and each drew on
the resources Of his hip pocket.
Five times they banged away at
each other and nobody was hurt.
They prepared to reload, but the
judge, who had been an excited
spectator, sprang to his feet and
yelled "By Heavens, gentlemen,

| A big man and smaller one
wcntinto Mr.. llarringtons store late
last night and asked to lock at
some clothing. Mr.. Harrington
himself waited upon the visitors
and was showing them various liues
OF goods when the duor, leading to
his residence in rear Of the store
opened and in came on the run a
baby daughter of the Harrington
family. The little one came in
hurrying to escape her mother, a, d
fell over a box. Mr.. Harrington
left the customer AID went to the
rescue of the baby. After the little
one was quoted and placed on the
floor he resumed business, Lut in a
minute she fell over another tox
and apparently hurt herself. He
left the customer and again 10 ke
after the child
at this the man turned to s
companion and said: Lets 90 out
of here. | amt looking for a nurs-
cry
The proprietor herd the remark
and was not slow to respond. lie
said that he had lived hfty-twc
years and done twenty years of
business, and had 10000 customers,
but he had never had but two H r
rington babies, and this was the
only one left He could get along
without the customer and the sale
of a suit of clothes to him, but he
couldn't get a long without the
baby, and he didn't care how soon
the customer skipped"
The man, who was looking at
the proprietor with mild astonish-
ment at first, when the story was
finished had his handkerchief out,
was wiping his eyes aud reaching
his hand out to Mr.. Harrington cx-
Partner, God bless the
baby" He couldn't do too much
and it is needless to say that they
parted friends.

1. From present indications the dress
of the coming woman will be modelled
on hygenic principles. Women are
wearying OF carrying about super
fuous weight of clothes. The coming
woman will wear combination under
garments and clothing SO made as to
produce no compression, to leave TO
weight on the hips and as little weight
as possible anywhere. The woman of
the future will be healthier and more
vigorous individual than the woman of
to-day. She will not wear d seal or other
skin overgarment. A prominent spec
ialist is even now imperatively COM
manding his women patients to leave
off their sealskins regarding them as a
fruitful cause of throat difficulties.
Q. The tendency OF fashion seems TO
be in the direction of more artistic cos
tunes, so far as toilets for tho evening
and for dress occasions are concerned,
but street attire is not at all satisfact-
ory. A gown TO be worn out of doors
should have no flying ends. Sashes
and ribbons and Directoire flaps are in
place only in the drawing room. On
the promenade they are ungraceful. in
convenient, blown about by the wind.
The average woman in average street
dress must wet her feet when 1t rains.
and is made absolutely cripple by the
necessity Of holding in one hand her
bags-what woman ever stirs without q
bag ?-and in the other her skirts. She
can hardly manage to carry her um.
brella. and her draperies are covered
with filth even in getting out OF .
carriage.
g. The corset must 60. Actresses
who depend on grace for large share
OF their attractions have discarded cor.
sets from Bernhardt down.
4. A business dress to be useful must
be of length not to catch and drag.
The Jenness Miller business dress is
too long. 1t must combine simplicity.
comfort and convenience. 1t must ad-
nit the drawing OF a full breath, and
must not confne the arms.
s. The ideal dress must be designed
By each woman in accordance with her
own needs. Its details must depend on
the occasion on which IL is 10 be worn.
A street suit Is one thing. a house
toilet quite another. For the house .
woman may indulge her artistic in
stincts a. TO color and style. IL she
does not disobey health principles. the
more she idealizes the better, and il is
pity that men have not equal liberty.

1t is too early to know exactly or TO
see exactly how women will dress in
the future. But as they come more
and more into the world OF work they
will cease to pinch themselves. They
will have no time to brush, even clean,
endless yards OF muddy skirts; hence,
dresses will be short. Women will
know more about the laws OF health
and will dress so as not to interfere
with healthful conditions.
hope much for the future Of women
in all directions, when they have an
open field and fair play, and clothes
will have their share of good in that
better time.
/. / think the dress OF the coming
women will be shorter and lighter than
that now worn.
q The tendency Of fashion seems "
me to be in the direction of simpler
and hence more graceful costumes.
s. 1t also seems to be in directions
favorable to health. The corset will
be dispensed with.
4. A business dress seems inevitable
Tho "Bloomer dress" slightly modi-
fed. is the best dress for ease of mo-
ton, lightness and neatness. l know,
for have tried it.
5. My idea Of the ideal dress for
woman is dress that will protect the
body but leave every muscle free.
Hence it must be short and light and
loose.
