according constructions issued by Miss
Dodge,
but Mrs Dodge" he said, has said
that no daughter of hers shall ever
marry your SON"
The old man paused with his fist in
the air and then laid it down quietly.
And why not, should like to
know"
''She did not say why. She ordered
her daughter never to speak to me-"
The old gentleman got up and began
to pace back and forth across the IL
brary.
80 she says you can't have her
daughter does she? She thinks her
daughter is too good for my son? Well,
we shall see, guess we can show her
who is good enough and who isn't, the
old vixen! Her daughter too good for
my son, indeed I'll show her!
"And Arthur, my boy" pausing and
putting his hand on the young mans
shoulder, arthur, my boy, you just
cheer up. and don't be afraid You
shall have that girl or my name is not

The old hen! You are worth dozen

PATRIOTIC on short Notice.

The other day young Canadian who
has been in this country just five years
was naturalized and made an American
citizen in all that the term implies He
was iubilant, of course, and he invited
a couple of friends over to place near
the city hall to drink to his health.
There hangs on the wall of the drink
ing place that crayon of scenes in An
Jacksonville prison with which almost
everybody is familiar. The new citi-
zen studied ii carefully, and, after
reading some of the statistics which are
printed nn the side of the picture,
turned to his friends and said: How
did it come that those southerners got
So many of our fellows down there?'

MISS NANcYs GOWN.

In days when George the Third was king,
And ruled the Old Dominion,
And law and fashion owned the sway
or parliaments opinion,
A good ship brought across the sea
A treasure fair and fine
Miss Nancy's gown, from London town,
Cut in the last design
The plated waist from neck to belt
Scarce measured half span;
The sleeves. like balloons at the top,
Could hold her feather fan;
The narrow skirt, with bias gore, =
Revealed an ankle neat,
Wheneer she put her dainty foot
From carriage step to street
BY sSillfIl hands this wondrous gown
OF costliest stuffs was made;
Cocoons Of France on Antwerp looms
Wrought to embossed brocade,
Where yiolets and roses sweet
In blooming beauty grew,
As II young May were there Away,
And June and April too
And from this bower Of delight
Miss Nancy reigned queen;
Nor one disloyal heart rebelled
In all her wide demesne.
The noble house or bulBeSSeS
Forgot its fierce debate
Ger rights of crown when Nancy's gown
Appeared in halls of state.
Through jocund reel, or measured tread
or stately minuet
Like fairy vision shone the bloom
OF rose ans violet,
As hand in hand with Washington,
The hero Of the day,
The smiling face ana nymphlike grace
OF Nancy led the way,
A century since that gay time
The merry dance was trod
Has passed, and Nancy long has slept
Beneath the church yard sod
Yet on the brocade velvet gown
The rose and violet
Are blooming bright as on the night
She danced the minuet,

Prenarlng a Face Bath.

The proper way to prepare a face
bath is to fill bowl with hot water,
dip in it flannel cloth, rub the soap on
this until there is thick lather; pass
it gently but briskly over the face,
With both hands wash the soap off,
sponge with cooler water, dry on soft
towel, afterward using the palms of
the hands to arouse circulation, After
the face is thoroughly dry take some
unguent on the fingers and begin the
massage Af.7ond oil and cocoa butter
are both softening and are easily
and quickly absorbed. But no unguent
must be used constantly or il will pro-
duce a light down upon the face. In
the morning the face should be
washed in hot water obtaining any
thing the skin may seem TO demand

Killed.
He Falls Upon the Fly Wheel in the
Power-House of the California

Kirby was well known and well liked by his
Observation-Disclosures. He was'called to the power
house TO put in wires for incandescent lights,
and began bis work In the engine room at 80
O'Clock. There was bunch of old wires in the
corner of the roOm near the flywheel of the
engine, ard he was obliged TO remove them
The engineer obtained d stepladder for him.
and he mounted 1t and went TO work
Kirby seized the old wires and, thinking that
they were securely fastened, pulled vigorously.
Contrary TO his expectations they offered no
resistance and he tumbled backward and fell
upon the f1ywheel. His head struck the rapidly

MRS. Lux ALLOWANCE.
The Supreme Court Reverses an
Order Reducing Ii.

The Supreme Court settled several side is
sues i'll the matter Of The estate of the late
Charles Lux yesterday.
One was an appeal by the widow Miranda
w. Lux. from an order of the Superior Court
fixing $1,000 a month as an allowance for her
support from August 80, 1888, 10 November
10, 1891. This was second order, as the first
one, made May 4. 1897, allowed the widow
$500 month from the date OF her husbands
death until the return OF the inventory of his
estate. The Inventory was returned August
30, 1888, but was not filed until May 10, 1890;
and The second order, liking the allowance ar
$1,000. was retroactive, not being made until
May Is. 1892.
The widow claimed that the second order
covered portion OF the time when the order of
May a, 1887. was I'D force, and was erroneous
because II reduced the family allowance during
part OF the allowance TO which she was entitled
by that order. But the Supreme Court de-
cides that this second order did not DEPRIVE the
appellant OF any rights vested in her by that
first order.
But OH the question of the Widows circum.-
stances, The heirs claiming that Mrs. Lux had
sufficient property OF her own, the Supreme
Court decides that the allowance made by the
second order was entirely insufficient, and also
that the court erred in refusing TO continue the
WIDOWS allowance during the distribution of
the estate. On these grounds, therefore the
order appealed from Is reversed, the Supreme
Court using It's power OF discretion in the mat
ter
On the same findings the Supreme Court has
reversed an order settling certain accounts
rendered by the executors of the estate, and an
order settling the first and second accounts filed
by the executors IN the course OF their adm ins
tration of the estate.
