The Woman From Out OF the West Tel
a btOrY.
1t does not often happen that a good
Joke furnishes material for a still better
one, but the following conversation
which took place between the acts OF
Liberty Hall" demonstrates that the
phenomenon occasionally does occur.
Two women were seated in the or
| chestra. From the sighting way in
which she spoke of Minneapolis II was
| evident that one Of the women came
from st. Paul. The other woman had
also originally came out Of this west.
This was proved by the avidity with
which she devoursd all the home gossip.
but, my dear, did you hear the Joke
they had on Mrs. Clark" exclain ed the
first woman. "0h, 1t was just terrible.
You must have heard about 1t, because
IL got in sll the comic papers. think
| 1t just awful the things thoy print in
| the papers anyway. The story was
this: When Sir Edwin ARNOLD, the
poet, came to Minneapolis, Mrs. Clark
gave him a big reception. There was a
great crowd there, and just in the
midst Of 1t Mrs. Clark turned to Sir
Edwin and said: oh, Sir Edwin, have
always wanted to meet you so much. l
can remember how, when l wat a little
mite of a girl, my lear old mother used
to read your Light OF Asia" out loud
to me-
"Well, Sir Edwin Arnold looked at
her for a moment and then he said;
Why, my dear madam, I had no idea
that you western no matured so
fast Well, that was the joke you see.
it was q splendid one. Mrs. Clark got
SIT copies of the paper that 1t came out
in. She nearly died Of modification.
But it just shows how ignorant those
Minneapolitans are. anyhow"
The other received the nara
tive with q blank cou%ntenance. but
where the joke comes in don't see"
"Why, my dear, you are very Dense"
cried the 81. Paul woman. 'Sir Edwin
Arnold never wrote ii at all. The
Light of Asia IS something out Of the
Old Testament."-NeW YorE EUGning

Dnnraven set Right.

1t IS a pity that such an accomplished
gentleman and true sportsman as Lord
Dunraven doesn't recognize the only
proper pronunciation OF the name of his
own Yacht. 81 Gall her the Val-ki-ry,"
he SAYS, with the accent on the XII,
and so do all my friends. l do not know
whether that is the proper pronuncia-
ton or not; 1 shall stick to 1t anyway. ="
OF course Lord Dunraven ought TO know
that the nam Of his famous craft is OF
Scandinavian origin and that the Morse
men onouu it "Vslkirry-ye." He
has no more right to pronounce her
name otherwise than he has To take any
improper liberties with the language he
speaks. Boston Herald.

THE NEW TARIFF BILL,

The first rough draft of the tariff bill has
been completed and gone over ence by the sub
committee. 1t is the expectation that 1t Will
soon be submitted 20 the committee, and the
careful second reading and revision Begin.
Some of the features of the bill arc radical.
The wooden schedule is the Springer free wool
bill which passed the House last Congress, in
corpOrated into the bill practically without
change.
The idea of tariff for revenue only is adhered
toquite closely, but this application may not be
made To coal. Iron ore goes OH tho free list,
and there is a very considerable shaving down
of the entire iron and steel schedule. The tax
on whisky will be increased not above 20 cents,
but the exact amount of the increase is not de-
cided. An increase in the beer tax is practically
decided on.
The subcommittee have not quite made up
their own minds Oh the sugar question. bat they
are practically determined not to try to get any
revenue out of sugar.
Either an income tax or an inheritance tax
will be provided for to increase the revenues.

AlCELRoY.
The Reason Why.


The fact the Fair closes officially Oct. 80 in
stead of Oct. 81. is said to be due to mistake
made in the date in the early days Of the
project when the matter wac before Congress.
1t is supposed that some one who had the draft
ing OF the bill thought that the month of Oc-
tober only had 80 days.
Mr. Gambler, of Massachusetts,, was Chairman
of the Select Committee of the 51st Congress.
A bill was brought in and voted on in Febru-
airy, 1890. which provided for the holding of
such fair and left the place to DO filed in by
the House. The measure then contained no
limitation, but provided that the fair be held
in 1892.
When substitute measure was brought in it
provided for the opening of the Fair April 80,
and closing Oct 80, 1893. The date was modi-
fed before the bill went to the President and
made May l, because April 80 came on Sunday.
The Worlds Fair people will lose something
like 100000 by the mistake.

A frock of hopsscking which has green and
brown threads mixed in the basket weave is
made with pipings Of dark woodsy green silk,
and has big black pearl buttons that show
shades of brown and white as the light strikes
them. With the frock is worn either little
vest and stock collar of dark green velvet. or
sometimes tiny chiffon or Iace-edged jabot.
The hat is toque of green, with jets and
black aigrets for trimming.

The newest vail hangs in loose folds that
look as though they had been produced by a
platter. They are quite stylish. but all walls
need to be most carefully arranged to look
their prettiest, and these conspicuous ones par
ticularly so.
Cashmere, serge, striped flannel and elder
down flannel are used for wrappers. Velvet,
braid or silk are appropriate for the trim
miHgs.
Two pretty lounging robes for sick girl,
who'wss allowed tosit up only a little every day,
were made OF outing fiannel-one white, striped
with fne blue lines the other striped with red
They were made very big and long, hanging
full from the neck. A turnover collar was
made, lined with the goods. The big sleeves
were gathered at the wrist. pocket was
put in at one side. A thick silk tasseed cord
tied loosely around the waist, held the fulness
into the figure somewhat and made the gown
look more shapely. The only trimming used
was narrow white cotton braid for the blue
and white one put in single row around the
H.
sleeves. The redand white one was edged
with a haIfinch wide lace. A soft pale-bIue
Windsor tie finished the one, and q red or
pink one the other. The gowns were made to
slip right on over the night dress.

Powered silk gowns made with full skirt and
round full waist. with dropping lego luton
sleeves and collar and folded belt of velvet
are quaint and old fashion looking enough,
and quite becoming.
In the German exhibit at the Fair was an
evening cape made of wool, crocheted prettily
The cape was long enough to come about to the
waist and was OF faint dull pink, almost old
ivory in tnt-a most delicate color. Whatever
combination of stitches may have been used to
produce it, it looked much like the stitch often
seen in crochet work here, and is no dodbt quite
common. 1t was smooth and rather loose and
furry i'll texture. There were tiny squares Of
pale sea green, with the same grayish lights
that made the pink unusually delicate
The cape was lined throughout with satin of
pinkish ivory shade, and the pointed hood that
served also as collar had a pink and green
tasse and was lined with the satin. 1t was the
prettiest piece of crochet work that have
ever seen, and made as dainty little thing as
one could desire for an evening wrap.

THE SOLDIERS, HOME.

A Plan for Self-Support Among Those Re-
ceivng Certain Pension.
The annual report of the Board OF Commits
sioners of the Soldiers Home in the District of
Columbia has been submitted to the Secretary
of War through the President of the Board.
Gen. Schofied. The report shows that there
are on the rolls of the Home the names OF 1,0So
inmates. of whom 1907 are regular and 20
temporary. Of this number there are present
at the Home 40, on outdoor relief 299, on tur-
Tough 45, in the Government Hospital for the
Insane Is, suspended g.
The daily average number of Inmates during
the year Was 75l. last year 745. and the proceed
ing year 7IS. There were "a deaths reported,
80 died at the Home, IA were on outdoor relief.
four in the hospital for the insane seven In
Washington, and one was accidentally killed
while on furlough.
The statement of expenditures and receipts
shows that all hut $372.19 of the fund received
was paid by the Treasurer to the individual
pensioners thereby providing by the opera
tons of the existing law, ample means Tor Idie
and in many cases vicious indulgence harmful
to themselves and highly detrimental to the
discipline of the Home. The Commissioners
are OF the opinion that Congress never intended
to make double provision, now enjoyed by many
of the inmate pensioners who are comfortably
lodged, clothed, and fed at the expense OF the
Home, while they draw their pensions. ia some

without being taxed in the slightest degree tor
their support. This makes the Home stand
ing inducement for pensioners to seek adnilS-
sion thereto. and while i. is just aud proper that
men disabled in the service should be pensioneh
according To the degree of disability incurred,
it is believed that pensioners receiving more
than s. per month should be required to pay,
partly at least. for their support. Therefore
bill is being prepared making such provisions,
graded according TO the amount of pension re-
ceived by each man.
