Speaker Crisp made speech at
Owaneboro wednesday, R~R was
given an ovation. he was intro.
dueed by Congressman Ellis, and
made great speech. The Courier
Journal reports him as follows:
"In a voice that could be heard q
square on either side, Mr.. Crisp stated
that as plain Democrat he wss not
going to attempt any flight Of oratory,
but was there to talk In a plain,
straightforward way and he did 1t for
two and half hours. Hav-
ing observed the women pres
ent, he said that he was not
for woman's suffrage, but for
woman's influence. He then took up
the Democratic ;and Republican par
ties and showed how one represented
a certain set of principles and the
other set OF principles directly OPP
posite. The war had been over near
ly thirty years, but many farmers
were no better than they were
fifteen years ago. They were
restless and had a right to be 80.
How the tariff was a" tax
coming eventually out the of people,
and the hard-worked people at that,
was shown by numerous examples.
each operating In a different way,
but all coming to the same point. He
stated that the principle underlying
the tariff was plain, and showed how
1t affected goods at home. Under
the exposition OF protection he fully
explained the sugar bounty In all its
bearings, the protection of American
tin and the rebate of the Standard
Oil Company. This, said he, Is the
way the eastern manufacturers sre
milioDaires and we are not. He
dealt kindly with the Third party,
declaring though that 1t was trying
to steal the equal rights to all and
special privileges to none Of the DEM
ocratic party. What the Democrats
and Republicans would do could be
judged by the past and what they
had done, but the Third party had
done nothing and Lad no past. The
subIreasury, free and unlimited
coinage, government ownership OF
railroads and telegraph ideas OF the
party were then treated"

A card with some appropriate lines may
announce the evening to your friends,
and for an hour the hostess or some one
else assigned the duty may read quota
tions, the guests giving the author.
Well known lines should be written on
slips of paper and put in a pretty ribbon
basket. The guests are seated in circle,
and after the first quotation one is given
a minute to name the author. If he
fails, the reader gives the right name
and No. 9 reads the next quotation and
passes to his next neighbor.
To give variety an authors name may
be given, and a point is made by the first
n who responds with a quotation from
that writer; or a subject may be given
and appropriate quotations called for.

that calls for quick thought is called

delightful and profitable. Each guest

Fighting n Fashionable Dressmaker.

In reference to obstinacy in dress
makers for carrying out ideas l had an
amusing experience. My sisters stay in
Paris was too short for my dressmaker
to undertake all she wanted made. For
the best things We went to a big dress
maker, whose Importance lies in great
pretensions. Among the things ordered
there was one for which l wanted my
way. The woman exclaimed: "But
that is not practical. You women have
ideas, but they can't be carried out. !"
We'll, if it cannot be carried out I will
be responsible for spoilt cloth if there be
any" 1 knew she opposed it because
the idea was not her own, and that it did
not go to swell the bill with yards of
lace, feathers, furs, passementerie, etc.
She consented at last; the dress was a
great success. A few weeks after I had
occasion to call on the dressmaker, and
what was my surprise to find several
dresses in the showroom with my idea
very practically carried out, and what
vas my greater surprise, when the WON.
an came in, to find she was wearing my
idea practically demonstrated on her
own back.-Rrooklyn Eagle.

md everything as he had left it.


Another week elapsed before his ankle
would permit his making the attempt.
The night came, however, and along
tower. A single iron bar still stood be.
tween him and freedom, and it would
take long hours of hard work to cut
through it. Just as daylight began to
break the bar gave way. The rope now
came into good use, and with its aid he
slipped down upon the prison lawn and
hurried away to the woods that line the
bluffs east of the prison. Here he found
a thicket or underbrush where he lay
hid all that day, and when darkness
came again he got away.
His absence was not discovered from
prison until the guard went to uniocl,
his cell in the morning. This was with
out doubt the cleverest escape that lad
taken place at Joliet, and stamped Pad
dock as a genius. Extraordinary efforts
were made for his recapture. Large
| rewards were offered, and his descrip-
ton was cast broadcast. A year later it
was discovered that Paddock had a mis-
| tress in Chicago. A watch was set on
her house for several weeks, and sure
enough one night Paddock put in an APP
pearance. Captain Simon O'Donnell, of
the police department, had the place
surrounded and the daring convict was
again in the tolls. He was taken back
to his old quarters at the prison, where
he finally completed his sentence, not,
however, until he had tried several other
schemes for escape, but he was toe
closely watched to ever again succeed
