French Printed Challis, stands
at the top of the light wooler
stuffs. So billowy, so dainty,
so exquisite in printing, so
clinging when draped, so fit
and dressy for any occasion.
You see new beauties in it all
the time. 60 cents.
Gloriosa is another of the
queenly ones. A few. seasons
back unknown; now it carries
the banner of style and quality
in the front rank. You hear
of Gloriosa here and there, but
the knowing ones say there is
but one generous, overhowing
stock in town. You can
guess where that is. It is no
easy thing to put a silk and
wool together right. You may
learn that to your sorrow if you
buy haphazard Gloriosa.

John Gilbert is a character. In his
peculiar line he is very funny, and he is
full of quaint mannerisms and stories.
In the language of the profession, John

the company, to go ON with strange

casion tragedienne was to open an en-
gagement at the theater in Macbeth.
One of the company was sick, and John
was cast for Duncan. There was no re-
hearsal, the star having arrived in town
at late hour, and John never saw her
until he faced her on the stage as Lady
Macbeth. A messenger was to come on,
and Lady Macbeth says: What are
your tidings?" to which the messenger
replies: the king comes here tonight
Well, John went on and was staggered
to hear her ask. What are your tidings9"
But he, quickly recovering himself,
hoarsely whispered: We're short handed
and we've cut out the messenger. I'm
Duncan; go on. Play BALI The play
proceeded, but John never forgave the
star for mistaking him for messenger.

How rhey Relmburaea Him.

A few years ago an old and trusted
cashier of one of the Rothschilds' estab-
lishments went to his employers and
told them that during the 80 years of his
service with them he had managed to
save the sum of $50, 900 francs, and de-
sired to go into business fox himself.
While the firm regretted to lose so faith
full man, they babe him good luck.
The cashier began to speculate, and in
very short time returned to his old en-
ployers asking for reinstatement, and
telling them he had been "wiped out.
He was given his old position and was
advanced one years salary. One day
eze of the RothschiIds took their old
servant aside and told him to invest what
he had in certain securities. The old
man did so, and the stocks went boom
ing upward. The banker had instructed
the brokers to send prices skyward.
Finally the old cashier was told to sell.
He sold, and his profits were exactly the
25O,OO0 frances he had lost. Prices set
tied down to their old point and the
Rothschilds charged up loss of that
amount to themselves. They knew their
employee was too proud to accept gift,
and they took this means to reimburse
him.-LGlobe Democrat.

Two Subjects Tias. ..vays Present In-

What do girls talk about" / asked
one of them. lat their luncheons and
during calls upon each otherg"
We'll, she replied, there are usually
two subjects of conversation at gather
ings of girls, and they are about equally
prolific. One of them is the men and
the other is girls who don't happen to be
present. We discuss the men of our ac-
quaintance from every possible point of
of view, exchange condolences that have
been made to us, criticise them with un-
restricted freedom, and wonder which of
them want to marry and what styles of
girls they prefer. Sometimes we are
rather sharp in our criticisms, but on the
whole the men get out rather easily.
But when it comes to other girls-myl"
What do you mean by that"
: mean that no mercy is shown. For
example, we take up some poor .unfor-
tunate who isn't with us and go through
the pleasant operation known as picking
her To pieces. We discuss her costumes,
her complexion, her manners, her say
lhSS, neF tastes, ana Dy the time we nave
got through with her the Creator
wouldn't recognize His work. Then we
start IN on some other girl.

why, certainly. For instance, on
the South Side the other day we were all
taking o'clock tea and having simply
beautiful time picking Maria Jones to
pieces. just in the middle of it all Ma
ria came in. Was she greeted coldly 2
Well, hardly. We all embraced her,
gave her seat near the fire, and changed
the subject of conversation to Annie

A curious fact about Sarah Bernhardt
is that she has caused most sumptuous
tomb to be prepared in Pere Ia Cliaise for
her own obsequies. 1t is all in white
marble, with the one word Bernhard"
inscribed above the portal. Within there
is space for a single coffin only. The
great actress desires to be alone after
death as she has been unapproachable in
her genius during her life. Every year
on her birthday she visits this tomb and
lays upon it wreath of immortelles.
Some one asked her why she did so.
Because, she said, II would like to
have my grave decorated with flowers
after my death, and perhaps if / accus-
tom people to see it SO adorned they viii
follow my example and keep up the Gus
tom when / am no more. Is there not
something piteous in this clinging OF the
most famous actress of her generation to

November Discoveries.

This is somewhat remarkable
month for discoveries beneficial to
mankind, and the influence of which
continues widening for good.
November 81, 1902, the use and BEN
eft Of the ships compass was dis
covered, and as without it safe ocean
navigation would have been impoSSi-
Bile, it may be called the parent Of all
geographical discoveries that have
been made since that time.
November Is, 1897, the Cape of good
cHOpe was discovered, and then was
opened to European commerce wa
ter-way to the treasures of the Orient.
Previous to that date, trade between
the East and West was done by the
slow and often painful progress OF the
caravan.
/, November %, ITS, the Sandwich
Islands were discovered, and this has
been a boon to Pacific ocean naylga-
tors, as coaling and provisioning
station. 1t ought to belong to the
United States, and may some DAY De
annexed by Uncle Sam.
Thanksgiving Day, too, was, dls-
covered in New England during this
month, some two hundred years ago,
and the people of the Northwest have
discovered that to make quick, safe

OBITUARY.

Rev. Chas. AXtell, whose death by
apoplexy was mentioned Saturday
had Just passed his 73d year. He was
born in Geneva, n. Y, the son of an
eminent pastor of that city. Receiy-
ing fine scholastic training, he chose at
an early age the miniStery. His
health, however, breaking down under
his studies, his physician sent him
upon sea voyage TO regain it. He
was gone two and half years, max
ing circuit of the globe. Some of
his adventures read like a romance.
The vessel with which he shipped
proved to be pirates craft, the cap
tain of which having no use for such
q man put him ashore on lone island
in the South Seas. Here. after endur-
ing the treatment Of savages, his life
endangered, Though he met with
friends even there he was picked up
by ship whose crew had mutinied.
After this he twice suffered shipWreck
before reaching home.
Who looking upon his placid face
would have supposed such history?
1t explained, however, his high ideas,
his well, stored mind, his deep know
ledge of human nature. 1t was
wonderful preparation for preaching.
After spending few years in teach
ing, for which he had superior gifts,
he was led under the infence Of the
celebrated John A. McClung his pas
tor in indianapolis, to resume the
ministry. He held many important
charges, the first being at Galena.
Illinois, where he was the neighbor
and friend of Gen. Grant His charac-
ter was wonderfully symmetrical. One
would hesitate TO say whether he sur
Rassed in official or personal graces.
In his public work he was scholarly,
eloquent, devout; in his private mod
est, gentle and true. No man ever
had stronger convictions, or was more
jealous in maintaining them.
But the courage of a life was tenn
pered by the tenderness Of a woman.
Conscientiously a Presbyterian, he
loved all Christian people, and gave
them unqualified fellowship. Bred to
scholarly and even aristOcratic aSso-
Citations his heart went out to all. He
showed a pastors care for the most
needy. His devotion did not degener-
ate into pietism. He was charming
companion; one of the most courtly
gentlemen in the social circle. He
was, indeed, "a man of God" uniting
as few men do, holy life with patti
ence toward the erring. His life was
gentle: and the elements so mixed in
him, that Nature might stand up and
say TO all the world, this was a man.

HELP THE NEEDY.

On a complaint being made as to
the mental condition Of Mrs. Helena
Glovick, who was found recently
roaming the streets thinly clad and
gathering crowd, the woman was ar
rested and brought before Judge Tor
rey and examined as to her sanity.
From questions put to her by Doctors
Jacoby and Frisbie and such other
means as lay IN their power. they de-
clared, under oath that Mrs. Glovick's
mind was perfectly clear, without the
least symptoms of arrangement.
They did declare though, that both
the woman and her babe have lacked,
and do now lack, proper nourishment
and that she is suffering from the
election from her home. In a tremb-
ling manner, and with tears stream
ing down her cheeks, she solemnly de-
clared that with but few exceptions,
when neighbors were kind and sympa-
thetic, she had existed on potatoes
and salt for months past.
1t is said that her husband fails TO
secure proper shelter or food for her
and if this be true it is high time the
authorities should take hand in the
matter and see that she is properly
cared for. On the whole it is indeed
a sad case and we believe one worthy
of the consideration of those Of our
people who desire to look after the
needful and unfortunate. Mrs. Glov-
lex is a member of the Lutheran
church, but that is no reason why
those of other denominations should
not help this poor woman and her lit
tie baby, who is actually starving.
Lend a helping hand in this matter,
and that at once. Most truly is a
friend in need a friend indeed.
