why II Was That John Fled Away In the
Night.

why n Was That John Fled Away In the
Night.
He was plain John Smith.
She was the beautiful and cultivated
Ethelrida Martingale.
But what mattered that to him; he
loved her.
Love is the great leveler.
Not that it had leveled the sweet, pale
Ethelrida exactly, for it had not: but il
had knocked John out fiat.
Happy Ethelrida, for she had the bulge
on him.
1t is ever thus.
In loves sandwiches one piece of bread
will always have more butter on it than
the other will.
Yet Ethelrida was not cruel, and she
did not long to let him drop hard enough
TO cripple him for life.
On the contrary. she sought to let him
down on silver strands to beds of thorn
less roses.
But John wouldn't have it.
Nor is o,ir hero the only man built
that way.
He loves but little, or not at all,
W hO lcdiS tlO duiuphSSo VI hio lcli.
That was John Smith all over, and
still John was no slouch, as tile word
goes.
Ethelrida knew what was coming, but
she was powerless to prevent it, unless
she took an ak to John, and she hesitated
to resort to harsh measures.
Woman's nature is ever gentle.
1t was a calm and beautiful Sabbath
evening when John called for the last
time.
II love you, Ethelrida," he whispered,
low and lisping, at about II o'clock, land
| want you for my wife"
1t was then apparent to Ethelrida that
Mr.. Smith meant business.
''It cannot be, / fear," she replied,
standing him off. "Papa is unutterably
opposed to our union, and he has said he
will lock me in my room and keep me
there if persist in seeing YOU"
That was tip John should have acted
upon-that and the palable fact that
Ethelrida did not rush to his throbbing
bosom like an undammed torrent when
he had so Enthusiastically blazed the way
for her.
'Love laughs at locksmiths," he said
courageously, ignoring the surface indi-
cations.
Again was the fair girl balked in her
generous purpose, and there came into
her face the hard, cold lines of resolution
and into her eyes the cruel CLINT of JUS
tice, long deferred
Eyes, and at John Smiths" she added,
naive simplicity scarcely concealing
the edge of the sword.
And John fled away into the misty,
murky darkness of unforgetable disap-
pointment. Free Press.

It will require no ironing 1t can be cut
while still damp as it soon dries.
The model for the foundation or the skirt
itself should measure forty-two inches
long, and the front top be ten inches across
and twenty across the bottom. The width
of the side cores must necessarily depend
upon the size of the wearer, but each ought
to be- about five inches at the top to
twelve at the bottom, which gives thirty
inches IF the lady is smaller, the top
seams can be rounded little to fit, or a
marrow dart or two can be run in. A skirt
now should be about four yards around the
bottom. In all dresses the center Of the
back is cut bias, which gives graceful
hang.
Heavy goods require no trimming other
than stitching but light, flimsy materials
may have plaits from top to bottom,
wrinkled or lifted drapery. ruffles, etc
and double skirts or Russian blouses.
Wherever there are to be plaits laid half
way up or from top to bottom they should
be pinned in their place on the figure
This is why so few succeed in laying deep
plnits that will stay in place. They lay
them upon table or lapboard, and while
there they look well, but rs soon as worn
hang all askew.
For mourning dresses the foundation
skirt cut after the model is hung over the
frame. and all plaits and folds are to be
pinned on SO that they will hang exactly.

THE COST OF

There are no illusions among the
merchant taiEors OF this.eountrY a. tS
whether the tariff is a tax.
In a petition addressed TO. Congress
asking to have the number Of suits OF
clothes admitted free Of duty limited
to two, for returning tourists, the
Eailors say.
"Urder this ruling it was possible 70
enter free Of duty vast quantities of
foraign-lnade garments which had
never been actually ia use, and which
~eres 50 Imported solely because there
exists q relative difference of at least
80 per cent. Ia values between the
cost u AAade-up garments in the
iUnibSa Suites and Europe, which
difecSnce has been further enhanced
by certain other provisions under the
tariff on WOODEN clothes of the act Of
Got. Lat, 1890, as aforesaid, thus
saving to the purchaser of garments
abroad more than one-half Of their
actual value upon arrival within the
United States duty free"
Every one who has bought clothing
. NbEugd knows this to be true. And
yet the paid orators Of protection Of
the Roswell g. Horr stamp, and dis
honest Republican newspapers, parade
the low prices OF American shoddy
and sweat-shop clothing as evidence
that clothing is IS cheap here as it
is in England.
Any ran of common sense knows
that the duty OF 491l cents q pound
aud &C, per gent. of value levied on
WOODEN clothing by the aboninable
Mckinley tariff must enhance it's cost.
Our merchant tailors admit that when
q returning tourist brings home a
1uit of clothing without paying duty
he saves more than one-half Of it's
actual valVe."
Poor people, and even people in
moderate circumstances-the, great
mass Of ,ARlericaps-cannotgo abroad
Tor their clothing. And they are COM

For some reason or other the title of
duke Of Clarence has always been re-
Harded In England as one that wa ILL
omened, says the New York Recorder,
and not only surprise but also dissatis-
faction was felt by the nation when the
queen conferred IT, 1,,few wears AGO
upon the eldest sou Of the prince of
! Wales. There have. been only three
English princes besides the late Prince
Eddie" who have .borhe it, and they
can, none of them, be considered as
having been fortunate in any sense OF
the word. The first of them was
Thomas, duke OF Clarence, brother OF
King Henry w., Of Shakespearean
mt hory, who after figuring for some
time rs Hord lieutenant OF Ireland, was
finally defeated in q battle with a
FrenchtScottish force in Aniou, and
killed with a battle az by the Scotch
earl Of Buchan. The second duke of
Clarence. was the brother of King
DIVA Nv. Married to a daughter Of
the great and powerful earl of War
wick he was imprisoned, and brought
before the house Of lords on a charge Of
high treason against his brother. A
sentence Of death: was pronounced
against him. The king, however, did
not dare to execute him openly, and
ne was put to death secretly in the
Tower OF London, by being drowned in
a but Of Malmsey wine. The third
duke Of Clarence was the third son Of
King George HI, who bore the title
until he assembled the throne as King
William ~. Popularity known as
SILLY Billy" he was eccentric to the
verge of imbecility, and it is apparent
from the memoirs of Charles Greville
that his idiosyncrasies were such Ms to
untt him for any ordinary profession.
Notwithstanding his royal rank it be-
cam necessary on two occasions, be-
Tore he succeeded to the crown, to de-
prive him OF his command of the navy
in consequence of his gross incompe-
Nice and Grass stupidity. The most
astounding stories OF his lack of in
telligehce and of his mental density are
related, and 1 may add that there
seems to be a strain of insanity in the
blood OF several of his illegitimate de-
scendants. From this it will be seen
tina the name Of Clarence can scarcely
be regarded as a particularly suspicious
one in England. g..

'ular delight in the steam engine. Larks
often build their nests and rear their
young under the switches of a railway
over which heavy trains are constantly
rolling, and swallows make their homes
in engine houses. A pair Of swallows
have reared their young for n year in b
