through three months of trying weather.
and the best of the year is coming
for him now. Possibly he will go
to q summer hotel and get him
self noticed as last guest. Possibly he
will go on q belated yachting trip and
shiver on deck in rugs for week. Possi-
bly, he will go to remote city and get q
change of newspapers, theaters and dust.
And, again, he may take a walk. There
are more people who walk now than
walked twenty years ago. and that in spite
of the bicycle. Formerly, if a man were
to inquire in any country place how far it
was to the next town, some such converse
ton as this would occur:
Stranger-HOw far Is 1t to Peckville?
Native-Oh, dunno. Bout half an hour.
stranger-Half an hour, how?
Native-Why, on the train.
Stranger-But by road?
Native-Waal. guess it must be nigh onto
1even mile.
Stranger-Do take this road to the right?
Native-Yes. if ye went that way; but the
train leaves in about two hours.
Stranger-But don't want the train.
Native-Waal, ye can't get there no sooner.

to what the broncho was going to do;

this doubt never lasted very long.
The genuine broucho can always be
known from the spurious one by the
fact that when he makes mp his mind to

have neither paint nor paper on its walls.
The woodwork will be Of hard wood, fin

walls should be finished in hard plaster

The windows will be low and Of large size,

floor will be of hard wood, oiled or var

We may have rugs on our hOl rs cheap

material, and often washed. The furniture
will be light, without carvings to catch the

A wager was made in 1906 in the Castle
yard, York, England, between Thomas
Hodgson and Samuel Whitehead, as to
which should succeed in assuming the
most singular character Umpires were
selected, whose duty it was to decide upon
the comparative absurdity Of the costumes
in which the two men were to appear On
the appointed day Hodgson came before
the umpires decorated with bank notes Of
various values, his coat and vest being en-
tirely covered with them. Besides these
he had a row Of five guinea pieces down his
back a Melted purse Of gold around his
head and placard on his back bearing the
legend, John Bull"
Whitehead came on the scene dressed
like a woman on one side, one half Of his
face painted and "a silk stocking and Slip
per on one foot and leg The other half Of
his face was blaeE,ned so as to resemble a
negro; on the corresponding side of his
body he wore a gaudy, long tailed linen
coat, his leg on that side being incased in
half pair Of leather breeches and a boot
with a spur. He wore a wig Of sky blue
braided down his back and tied with vel.
low, red and orange colored ribbons.
One would naturally fancy that he pre-
sented the most singular and ludicrous ap-
pearance, but the umpires must have
thought differently, as they awarded the
stakes, some twenty pounds, to Hodgson.

The Handkerchief with Evening Wear.
One Of the most Objectionable DISPOSE
lions is the placing of the handkerchief
within the folds Of the dress shirt, thereby
throwing the shirt front out Of evenness
and rewarding your friends with an unin-
territorial glimpse Of your underwear, while
the plan of aGiXing this indispensable adj
junct of evening dress into the waistcoat at
that junction where the buttons meet, a
la corsage, is a preposterOus innovation.
1t was after all these various arguments
had been advanced and the merits of each
ranvassed that il was declared by the dis
coverer that neither the coat nor the trou-
sers afforded requisite opportunity Of con-
cealment, but that the dress waistcoat was
the apropos and feasible abiding place of
the handkerchief upon all formal occasions
The plan was speedily evolved decreeing
that there should be a horizontal slit
pocket upon the inside or lining Of the
dress waistcoat, on both sides, a little for
ward of the armholes and extending down
under them The two pockets would be to
the preference Of the best men of swagger-
dom, that always carry an extra haDdker-
chief L. this manner the extra bulk
would be so disposed as not to interfere
with the fit Of the coat, but rather fill out
the chest i'm quite an enhancing way
Moreover, the shape and location of the
pockets would enable the wearer readily
and gracefully 20 reach them.
This idea has been frequently tried, be-
ing always found eminently practicable,
and a delightful revelation to those that
find so apt an innovation carried out in
their best suit Of clothes. "-Clothier and

1t was bright moonlight and a. m. and
one Of the toilers on a morning newspaper
was on his way home to Brooklyn. He had
to cross by ferry which ran its boats only
half hourly at that time Of night, and he
was naturally anxious to catch the boat.
As he rushed down the bridge to the boat
he suddenly perceived that it was Just
starting and was about five feet from the
slip. Determined to catch it at all hazards,
he shut his teeth firmly, and running down
the bridge gave a tremendous leap and
landed beyond the chains amid the cheers
and laughter Of the crowd
Turning to ascertain the cause Of their
mirth, he saw that the boat was securely
fastened in the slip, and that what he had
taken for the space between slip and boat
was only the shadow cast by the ferry.

MY WOLVES.

Three gdunt, grim wolves that hunt for me,
Three gaunt, grim wolves there be,
And one is Hunger, and one is Sin,
And one is Misery
1 sit and think till my heart is sore,
While the wolf or the wind keeps shaking the
door,
Or peers at his prey through the window pane
Till his ravenous eyes burn into my brain.
And cry to myself: III the wolf be Sin,
He shall not come in-he shall not come in;
But if the wolf be Hunger or Woe,
He VIII come to all men, whether or mol"
For out in the twilight, stern and grim,
A destiny weaves mans life for him
As the spider weaves his web for flies;
And the three grim wolves, Sin, Hunger and
Woe,
A man must fight them, whether OF no,
Though oft in the struggle the fighter dies.
Tonight cry to God for bread
Tomorrow night / shall be dead
For the fancies are strange and scarcely sane
That fit like specters through my brain;
And dream of the times long, long ago,
When knew not Sin and Hunger and Woe.
There are three wolves that hunt for men,
And have met the three,
And one is Hunger, and one is Sin,
And one is Misery;
Three pairs Of eyes at the window pane
Are burned and branded into my brain
Like signal lights at sea.
