Elkhart to Chicago, when, at South
Bend, lady entered the closely-packed
car in which I was seated and asked
me: rs this seat occupied?"

window.
"'''If you please" she said, Il will

AGRICULTURAL HINTS,
GOOD THINGS TO HAVE.

Pruning Saw and Brush B0at Which Are
Easily Made.
What is just the best season for the
general trimming of orchards seems
to be q question on the answer to
which all are not agreed, rs perhaps all
have not the same objects in view in
doing the work; but probably a ma
jority have decided that the least in
jury Is done to the trees when trimmed
while they are in dormant condition,
especially if the larger cuts are pro-
tected by some kind of waterproof
paint, which should be invariably ap-
piled. Many, especially among farm
ers, find that the most convenient time
to prune is during favorable weather in
winter or spring when other work is
not demanding their attention. Much
of this orchard work has already been
done and more will shortly be under
taken; perhaps the mention of some of
the methods and devices which l have
found very serviceable and the uses of
which have not seen elsewhere, may
prove of benefit to others.
While neither the shears nor saw
alone will answer all purposes, yet for
general use in bearing trees the latter
is the more serviceable. For this pur-
pose use saw about % inches long
and l inch wide, ground back with
about five or six teeth to the inch, filed
to cut one way and set in a frame
made of s4-inch oval iron or inches

~ suspect only what l have told
you,' replied; and if you base your
future investigation upon what have
said, do not wish to publicly figure in
the affair
"'iou shall not. And l will prose-
cute my Investigations in such a way
that Mrs Ashleigh, if innocent. shall
not know that the faintest suspicion
ever attached to her.
ITO make the story as short as posi-
BILE: In the cottage occupied by Mrs.
Ashleigh were found nearly all the
spoils of the pocket-picking, the lar
ceny and the burglary, besides burg
lars tools and innumerable articles for
effecting disguise. Confronted with
these evidences of her guilt, she calmly
said

BILE parents, more than fifteen years ago
l left my home in disgrace, to get my
living by my wits.
Eventually, attached myself to
gang of miscreants, and met with won
derful success as a pickpoclSet and con-
tidence woman.
My face and manners easily won
me the attention of gentlemen who i'm
plicitly trusted me, and whom in vari
Gus ways victimized without arousing
their suspicious.
For instance, the impossible teller
of the bank in this place was fasci-
mated by my charms smiling as the
words left her lips. and more than
once has explained to me all that an
inexperienced craftsman need know
in order to appropriate the contents of
the vault without leaving any clew to
his identity.

membering the names and faces of
those whom l have victimized, and
wherever go am on the lookout for
them. Learning that you,' addressing
me, were in Clifton, l felt certain that
you, seeing it, would recognize the
ring which l carelessly exposed to
your view on the occasion when I re-
lieved you of your valuables. l at
once obtained it from her to whom l
had lent it, but you had seen it, and l
have no doubt that it was the immetli-
ate cause of a revelation of my mis-.
ldceds.'

THE IDEAL TAILOR.

Requisites of Perfect Wielder of the
Scissors aad Tape Line.
The ideal merchant tailor should be
a good-looking man, for the same rea.
son that meritorious book should be
handsomely bound; he should be we'll
dressed, because good-looking man
who is not well dressed, unless he can
not afford to dress we'll, seems migrate
full for the physical gifts with which
nature has endowed him, and because a
tailor who is not well dressed insults
his trade and advertises himself as an
alien to it except financially; and he
should be obliging and of pleasing man
ners, because if he is not his nature and
presence will be as completely out of
harmony with the character and duties
of his business as the footing of a tin
fish horn in a string band.
He should be well educated, brainy,
and thoroughly familiar with business
usages, for unless he is he can under
stand the requirements of his trade no
more than hodcarrier can the phlogis-
ton of the chemist Stahl; and he should
be in every thought and instinct an
artist, for only an artist can appreci-
ate, much less worthily exemplify, the
grace and beauty that are possible to
clothes.
He should be familiar with his trade
from waxing length of sewing silk to
properly trying on a coat, for this kind
of familiarity is as sure to create conf
dence in and respect for his ability, as
too much of another kind is certain TO
breed contempt.
! He should do business imam elegantly
finished and furnished store, containing
comfortable dressing-rooms and every
necessary convenience for his custom
ers, ard should carry a choice if not a
not a very large stock Of goods; for his
establishment as well as, himself should
suggest comfort, art and refinement,
and be in every way in perfect harmony
with the most cultivated taste of the
time
He should be, in short, a gentleman,
a thorough master of his business and
an artist The ideal tailor, then, would
seem to be an ideal man who is very
comfortably fixed; for his trade is an
ideal trade, able to exert innumerable
refining influences that cannot fail to
benefit mankind and give to civilization
a polish and charm. - Sartorial Art

1t has been remarked that the people

the people in the big cities Of Europe.

one-fifth as much spare time to get

Three years ago 1 went to pass a
few days in Clifton-as you may know,
a noted summer residence, but better
resting place than most resorts
81 had been there only few hours
when l saw on the hand of a lady who
lodged at the same hotel ring which
greatly excited my curiosity, for
reasons that will appear later in my
story.
Il easily secured an introduction to
her, and in the course of our first con-
versation referred to this ring, no
longer on her hand, as having attracted
my especial attention.
"'It is very curious, she said
"Does it belong to you?' inquired.
1T does not, but was lent me by a
friend
"'May l inquire the name of the
owner?

her in connection with the ring; so you

would dispose of it for reasonable

to sell it, and let you know soon.'
Before my arrival in Clifton there
had been many cases of pocket-pickin
and petty theft in the place, and on the
fifth night after came the village bank
was burglarized.
Though the minor offenses had
caused no particular excitement, the
burglary did, for the temporary as we'll

KILLED BY HIS TEAM.
Young Man Dragged Four
Blocks and Fatally Hurt.
MET HIS FATE DOING DUTY.
He Belonged to the Sons of Veterans
and Leaves q Mother In the
Distant East.

Melvin J. Kemp, a young man quite
well known in Seattle and member OF
the Sons of Veterans, was killed yesterday
morning in North Seattle by runaway
team.
The young man and companion, named
Albert Dalton, have been driving delivery
wagon No. s for Hall & Galloway, dairy
men. Yesterday morning at O'Clock the
dairy wagon was in North Seattle and the
young men were delivering milk TO
patrons. Dalton drove the team down on
Depot street. near Box. and got out with
milk can. Kemp came up from another
street with a milk can and in attempts
ing to Jump into the wagon his
foot slipped and he fell in
doubletree and the horses heels. In en-
deayoring to extricate himself the horses
became frightened and started down De-
pot street on a dead run. Kemp's legs
were caught. and he was dragged. face
downward, against the fast revolving
wheels. After running four blocks the
horses came to a standstill by collision
with telegraph pole.
Dalton and several other men soon ar
rived, and found Kemp unconscious and
horribly mutilated. His clothing was
torn and blood flowed from gaping wounds
in the head. To extricate him it was
found necessary to remove one of the front
wheels of the wagon. He was taken
to his room and DIR. Woods was
called, but Kemp never regained con-
sciousness, and at the expiration of an
hour he died. His body was removed to
the morgue.
The unfortunate young man was about
25 years old, and because of his jovial
spirits was quite popular and had many
friends. His mother lives in Michigan,
near Lansing. and she has been notified of
her sons death.
1t is probable that the remains of Kemp
will be embalmed and sent East for inter-
ment
