A BUSINESS WOMAN.

copyrighted 1892, By Eva Wilder McGlssson.l
Fields gave a croupy chuckle. She had
passed young Paxton without returning
his bow. There could be no doubt OF it,
for Fields had seen the whole proceeding,
from the moment when she turned the
corner, the stiff river breeze blowing about
her face certain stray locks of the soft,
short h air under her beaver hat
She had looked very sweet to FIELDS COM
ing in sight against the tail Cumberland
cliffs. 1t seemed to him that she had been
smiling. but he surmised this from the
change which struck across her face upon
passing Paxton's store. Her very coat
collar stood about her ears agrees
siyely. and though Fields was not CON-
monty given to humorous perceptions Of
things, he saw in his daughters small
human assumption of arrogance certain
incongruity with the bleak hills hedging
the town. their tops fiat, as if they
crouched to keep their bald heads from
striking the hard autumnal sky.
"Look like thar's some things that Teller
amt Citing, if trade is whooping his
way" considered Fields, staring toward
Paxton's store, which occupied the river
corner just above the landing, at which
Nashville boats stopped on their way to
the head OF navigation. It was new
building that store, which in Fields old
age had risen to place his own commercial
merits in the eye of scorn. Among the
weathcred cottages of the town its yellow
walls rose with great dignity. it's clean
window gay with pyramids of tomato
cans, festooned in bright prints and cot
ton iaces.
With so many odds in his favor il was
natural enough that things should be
going Paxton's way. His way indeed
meant radicaIism and reform and all the
rash ventures of young blood and unlocked
ideas. The village at first blush had
fought very shy of Paxton. He was from
up Moth" he advertised; he was good
looking. yellowish moustache barring
his face like a streak of sunshine. The
town decided against taking stock in so
insidious combination.
Paxton, however, kept right on. 1t was
good point for country and river trade.
Fields had made money, apparently by
strictly natural methods and without the
vaguest effort.
His store included the postoffice and
stood some forty PAGES above Paxton's.
Time had breathed long and asthmatic-
ally upon the window panes of Fields
store. covering them with veil of gray
which effectually concealed the tract OF
dust on the commodities behind 1t. In
side were some boxes and barrels, an odor
of tobacco, pot-beliied stove and Fields
himself, slow man in his fifties.
With these superannuated attractions
Paxton felt he could scarcely fail OF sue.

THE NOVEMBER PARTY.

November gave a party,
The leaves by hundreds came,
The chestnuts, oaks and NAPLES,
And leaves of every name.
The sunshine spread carpet
And everything was grand;
Miss Weather led the dancing.
Professor Wind the band.
The Chestnuts came In yellow.
The Oaks in crimson drcss'd.
The lovely Misses Maple
In scarlet looked their best.
All balanced to their partners
And gayiy fluttered by;
The sight was like q rainbow,
New fallen from the sky.
Then in the dusty hoilows
AT hide and seek they played;
The party closed at shutdown,
And everybody stayed.
Professor Wind played louder,
They few along the ground,
And there the party ended
In "hands across, ell round"

: POOR CHICAGO.
The City is Getting an Unenvi-
able Reputation.
A Mounted Highwayman Gets
in His Fine Work.

Boys, Men, Two Men in "a Buggy, and
Even "a Policeman Held Up and Re-
Heyed of Their Valuables by the Daring
CulprIt Who Seems to Have Things All
His Own Way-The Police Powerless.
CHICAGO. Nov. 30.-The mounted
highwayman who created trouble at the
north end of the city last week has
transferred himself to Clyde, Berwyn
and Riverside suburbs in the southwest
ern part of Chicago
Monday the police met him and he
robbed the police,
Tuesday morning he met ten-year-
old boy and made him give up fifty
cents.
Then he came in contact with another
boy who did not have cent, and he al
lowed this youngster to go after turning
his pockets inside out.
Next j. NJ Myers, of the town of
Lyons, paid 81 for the privilege of
living.
Frederick Sellers and Frederick Crow,
of Riverside, drove up behind a horse
man whom they had never seen before,
and 1t cost them $3.50. The robber
wheeled his horse across the road in
front of them, and compelled them to
give up what they had by threatening
them with revolver.
John Keefe, policeman, and William
Ryan were the next to meet trouble.
Ryan lost $780, but he would have lost
more if he had it. Keefe had no money,
but he lost his revolver and his reputa-
ton, which were all he carried with him
at the time.
Monday night two masked men en-
tered Mrs. Catharine Quaey's saloon at
3444 Auburn street, and at the point of
revolvers compelled the bartender to
hand over the contents of the till, and
then robbed the inmates.
M. G. Feely's saloon was next visited
and the same tactics employed. The
men have been robbing right and left
and manage to eyade arrest.

Delayed by the Death of His
Father-in-LaW.

Stated on Good Authority That the Docu.
ment win BE Complete Review of the
Work of the Present Admins tration
and VIII BE About Fifteen Thousand
Words I'm Length.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-Owing to the
death Of Mr.. Scott, President Harri-
sons aged father-in-law, the president
will be unable to complete his annual
message to congress in time for submis-
sion to that body on the opening day of
the session. The present indications are
that he will be precluded from making
any progress whatever during the re-
maing days of the present week. Con.
sequently it is more than probable that
the completion of the message will be
delayed until the end of next week or
the beginning of the following week.
The president will probably send brief
message to congress Monday next ex'
planning why the regular message is de-
layed. 1t is learned on good authority
that the annual message will be about
the same length as that Of last year and
will include a complete review of the
work of the present administration. II
will contain about $4,000 words.
