Miss Angie Graham, who, in company
with her younger sister, Miss Nellie, left
Beaver county some five years ago for
h far west, is now ut her old home in
Economy township on a visit.
Five years ago neNt spring she and her
sister determined to try their fortunes in
the west. Their father was a well to do
farmer. but it was simply a desire to be
independent that caused the ladies to
take the step, and their success shows
what will and pluck can do.
Taking with them a few clothes, some
books, and a small sum of money over
and above their actual expenses, they
started. Arriving at Julesburg, Colo,
they each pre-empted n quarter section
of land and settled down. Six months
in the year they farmed, doing much of
the work of blowing, sowing and reap
ing themselves. The remaining six
months they taught school. They now
have a clear title to their land, which
has steadily increased in value. The
government is surveying the tract in
which their farms are located, for the
purpose of irrigation, which, when ac-
complished, will make the land among
the most valuable in the country.
Miss Angie has long had a desire to
visit Palestine and the Holy Land, and
will do so before returning to the west.

Speaking of weird, ~uncanny gifts, the
other day a pretty girl produced a pair
of house slippers, presented her by a
young medical student friend. They
were not SO remarkable looking, but as
she brought them in balanced on the
ferrule of her parasol the company in
stantly recognized the presence of some
thing out of the ordinary. Gently drop
ping the dainty footgear on a rug the
owner invited her friends to use their
umbrellas freely in turning her low shoes
over and examining every part.
They were admirably made, with mar
row soles, pointed toes, high heels and a
big monogram, embroidered in silk floss,
half way up the instep. The material, a
thin, yellowish skin, might have come
off almost any animal, but was in reality
the epidermis of a man. The student
had seen it removed, had followed the
curing process, and, when properly
dressed, had taken it to a bootmaker for
MAKING up.
"Of course I'll never wear the horrid
things" the girl fastened to assure her
friends; land, indeed, they are more
trouble than they are worth. I'm afraid
of them, and SO are all the rest of the
family.

a lady from a western city tells an
amusing if heartrending tale of a shop
ping tour in New York, the trip from
the west being undertaken for the sole
purpose of suiting herself exactly with
an elegant fur wrap. Her departure in
high spirits was witnessed by friends
plunged in the depths of envy. After a
microscopic examination of every wrap
in this city she folded the drapery of her
old cloth circular around her and silent
ly stole into her home town by a night
train. Driving at once to a merchants
residence, she told him as well as her de-
bilitated condition would permit the sort
of a wrap upon which she had set her
heart, and which, she declared, New
York did not contain.
Her merchant friend t~elegraphed 10
this city, the wrap was sent by the first
train, and ere she was fairly recuperated
from her acquisition of experience she
was in possession of the wrap of her
dreams, which she had probably tried
on no less han six times during the
curse of her rambles and preambles
(the latter are quite as exhausting to the
statesmen as the former to the shopper).
The congratulations of her acquaint-
ances upon her beautiful wrap, and
their fluctuations upon her good fortune
in being able to select it in person, re-
stored her equanimity, but did not oblit-
crate the memory of what she calls
that awful week" so that her more re-
cent purchases in this city have been
made by mail and telegraph, which do
not suffer from prostitution

The Battery, how changed and how
significant the change!
Fifty years ago it was an open field,
with growing grass and stately trees,
with a water view unsurpassed, taking
in the most beautiful harbor in the
world, stretching toward the Narrows,
bounded on either side by cultivated
hills, and thence out into the ocean,
turbulent and impressive. Thither
the OiG time merchants with their
families repaired after the evening
meal, sitting under the magnificent
trees, walking along the shaded paths,
singing pebbles upon the smashing
waters and gazing at the lofty masts Of
m~ultitudinous shipping.
Skirting its aristocratic edge were the
handsomest and most desired houses in
the city, occupied by the wealthiest
n best known people OF the town.
Little by little trade and commerce en-
tered those sacred precincts, driving
the domestic circle as far up town as
John street and Fulton street, while
some people even ventured to have
country houses as far toward the CAPT
tai Of the state as Blocker street and
Great Jones street.
But nowg
Well, without becoming historic, let
us say that the Battery is now the
home Of the tramp; it is cut in twain
by the posts of the elevated railroads,
from whose greasy rails drop oil and
cinders, while bathing houses, barge

Here a man may look about him, and
almost forget hat the world has grown
older and sadder. Here he will see the
plowman and the carter guiding oxen
in size and shape such as the ancient
Romans bred, yoked to such primitive
plows OF carts as we can still see on
Greek and Roman coins. Their rules
and methods Of tillage are the same
simple and often foolish ones as the
ancients followed. The old heather
superstitions still mingle with the new
religion. The peoples language is
liker to the old one that came from
Rome than any still extant, and plow-
