companied with q dozen or so fancy
silk waists. Have one or two black, or
black specked with white, three or
four pretty plaids, and three or four
light, dainty colored ones. These, with
full belts, and with gloves to match
the several waists, will make for you
as complete an outfit as you could de-
sire. The waists will occupy scarcely
any room in your bag, and will be SO
different in color and material that
change from one to another will be
quite as satisfactory as an entire
change of costume" l thanked the

Half an hour later found me pro-
pounding the self-same question to an
other maker of gowns. Her reply was
quick and decisive, given without a
moments hesitation. Some one had
evidently been there before me seeking
similar information.

A Pardonable Offense,

When Columbian guards do wrong
they have to write full explanation
of their wrong doing on a formidable
paper bearing printed questions that
are designed to extort the truth from
the erring Columbian. When one of
them sat down while on duty one
dreary night recently he was discov-
cred in his heinous offense and was duly
given the printed blank and ordered to
tell his shame in ink. The questions to
be answered read:
"What was the nature of the Of
fense?"
The guard wrote:
'Settin' down"
"What was the cause?"
"Tired," wrote the culprit.
"Have you any explanation to offer?''
said the merciless blank.
"Hevvy body, small feat" was the
triumphant answer.
Naive and to the point, to say the
least of it

Tenderly gazing down into the limpid

asked himself this question while he
took clandestine hitch at his suspend

About the couple lay the strange vii

birds came to their ears in dreamy ca

warm night wind which greatly stirred
the leaves above their heads. Happy
in sweet soul communion, Agatha and
Vernon gave no thought to their en-
vironments nor to the depressing fact
that the morrow would bring toll,

The worlds fair city has for the last
few weeks had somewhat of surfeit of
royalty. The city was thrown into
u tumult by the arrival of Duke de
Veragua and his suite, and laid itself
out to entertain the titled descendant
OF Columbus in truly royal fashion. For
week or ten days there were grand re-
ceptions, public and private, and cere-
monial visits to the fair grounds, and
altogether perfectly delightful season
was enjoyed by those of the upper ten
dom who were privileged to participate
In the festivities Then Infanta Eu-
lalia burst upon our social horizon in all
her regal splendor and society had an
other round of hobnobbing with roy

a brief season in the smiles of their
titled guests and fairly jcstled one an
other in their efforts to get nearest to
the fair princess. But it is all over and
we are compelled to fall back upon the
lesser lights from abroad. who were for
the time thrown in the shade by the
brighter luminaries of more exalted sta

The duke and princess having taken
their departure from our city, we can
give our eyes moments rest and then
look about us upon the palmer but
more satisfying celebrities of our own
country. Within few days past

GO INTO THE GALLERIES.
People Who Do Not Climb the Stairs Miss
Many Fine Exhibits.

MANY f1ne EXhlDitS.
Up to the present time it has APP
peared as if there was some danger that
in the immensely of space that the
sightseer has to cover at the fair, the
galleries of the big buildings would be
neglected. Since the crowds have be-
gun to arrive and the attendance has
run up to the hundred thousand mark,
people have found out that there is
much to be seen above ground, and
have climbed the stairs in search of new
marvels with as much energy as they
have displayed in going from one build
ing to another.
Still exhibitors in the galleries are in
clined to complain that the masses pass
them by, and ask for better means of
transportation from the floors to the
galleries. They suggest signs pointing
out the way and stating what can be
found above. The chief of the trans
portation department has promised his
exhibitors more elevators and the adj
ditional attraction of band on wet
afternoons.
These people who hurry through a
building without diverging from the
main avenue on the floor make great
mistake. In the assignment of space it
was impossible to place all the best ex-
hibits in the most prominent parts Of

to get through that marvellous aggrega-
ton of wonders on schedule time. Its
attractions are all too potent for the
strength of their resolutions and they
linger in spite of themselves amidst the
destinations of the Kaleidoscope thor

In this connection it might be well to
impart little advice, which is con-
tanned in the words of an honest old
lady from the back districts, who,
when her filial spouse was departing
for day at the fair SAID; Now, Hiram,
you'd better leave what money you
don't need with me-" AS the story has
it Hiram left the bulk of his cash with
'mother" and he was sorry for it when
he struck Midway Plaisance.

The gingham bodice was cut away
almost entirely in front to show the
plain, closely fitting blue vest. The
blue vest came down beneath the
leopard-colored one at the waist line,
and each was heightened slightly by a
short rrfle of its own color falling over
the hips. The sleeve puffs had double
rufiles, one of each color. A single
line of lace fell down the front over
the pale blue. A blue parasol goes
with the costume, with Dresden handle,
and a leopard hat, trimmed with blue
plumes and rosettes.

GOING TO THE FAIR.

With pocket full OF money
And gripsack full Of clothes,
And with kodak loaded
For most anything that shows
And with enthusiasm
That is way beyond compare,
I'm going to Chicago
To be 'in it, at the fair.
I'll gaze on greater wonders
Than were ever dreamt before,
The world in past and present
lam going 10 explore,
And all its rarest treasures
Will appear before my eyes,
Which were, wish, as many
As are given to the flies.
Among the strangest people
In their native streets I'll go
'Mong dwarfs from darkest Africa
And frozen Esquimaux;
Like in the ancient fairy tales
I'll visit every land
"From Grcenlands icy mountains
To midas coral strand.
I'll gain so much of knowledge
That forever will be
A bright encyclopedia
In high society;
And folks will crowd around me
When there's silver in my hair
To listen to the story
or Chicago and her fair.
What care for the trouble
Or discomfort or expense
When fifty million dollars worth
I'll see for fifty cents;
To miss that biggest thing on earth
Would be a lasting crime
lam going to Chicago
II it takes my bottom dime
The railroad trains are crowded
And the ocean ships are crammcd;
The highways are with carriages
And bicycles all jammed;
The lakes, canals and rivers
Haven any room to spare
For all the world is going
TO Chicago and her fair.
AZ lCdot q hAiiiiou poNhctnooho
Brimmed full of ready cash,
Two million Saratoga trunks
For baggagemen to smash,
And countless bullying gripsacks
Packed with the greatest care,
Are going TO Chicago
To boom along the fair.
Hoo-ray, then. for Columbus!
Three tigers for his fair
I'm going to Chicago
II must use Shank S mare;
III feast my eyes on wonders,
With knowledge fill my brain,
And proud I'll tell the story
When l am home again.

dinner by beating tin fish with a big
mallet. But the Assyrians have a

hen it is time for the Assyrian din
ner, and we shall hear some day what
a queer dinner it is. the cooks as
sistant takes long pipe which looks
something like flute and blows upon
it. The pipe has several different
sounds or notes which are the most
mournful of any that you can imagine,
and they are also what we would call
sadly out of tune. The trumpeter
blows as hard as he can upon the pipe,
making all the different notes as quick
" as he can, and then winding up on

to call people to dinner to such mourn
full music.

German Notions Of CIeveIand'a
Wealth.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
That it is sometimes necessary to gd
away from town to learn the news i,
illustrated by the following rather re,
markable statement which appeared in
the HerSfeller Germany Zeitung of
recent date relating to an immense fort
une alleged to have been bequeathed to
PreSident-elect Cleveland by a Pitts.
burger. The nowS item reads:
The newly elected president of the
United States of America is one of the
richest men of his country, as his wealth
amounts 10 nothing less than $40, 600. coo.
Cleveland can, therefore, lead quite a
comfortable life, and VIII not be re-
CURED TO live upon his by no means
large salary as president. Ii might.
however, be of interest to know that
Cleveland laid the foundation of his
colossal wealth when he was first elect
ed president in the year 1885. A Pitts
burg millionaire who died in the year
1865 Willed his whole fortune to The first
Democrat who should be elected pres-
dent of the United States. As, there
fore, Cleveland was elected in 1885. and
being the first member of the Demo
cratic party who had assembled to the
presidential chair reckoning from the
year 1861 the Pittsburger's bequest was
adjudged to him, which, with interest
and compound interest, amounted to
$1,000, 900. and formed the solid base to
the S20,U00,000 which Cleveland has
amassed as his fortune.
The records of the Allegheny county
registers office show that German news
papers can make wonderful improve
ments on the truth in the narration of d
story. Tie item given has the follow
ing foundation: In 1879 an lrishman
who had lived III this country fol- a long
time was gathered to his fathers with
out having had the experience of life
under Democratic administration. lie
made a will beQueathng his entire
estate to tine first Democratic president

bated, but when the executors came to
count up the assets they found that the
deceased had left a will, but nothing
else. Mr.. Cleveland, therefore, did not

JUSTICE NORTH AND SOUTH.

TO get rid of the reproach of taxing
people more than the government
needed, creating thereby an enormous
surplus. and for no other reason, Re-
publican congress voted to refund to the
states the direct tax paid by their citi-
ZenS during the war.
The state of Texas, Democratic. and,
therefore, deficient in honor or morals,
appointed board to ascertain and de-
termine who OF her citizens had paid the
tax, and directed it to be repaid to them,
their heirs, or others entitled to the
money. a board is now sitting to make
the awards.
The state of Minnesota received some
ninety-eight thousand dollars from the
national treasury, being the amount her
citizens had been assessed and had paid
thirty years ago. They paid it: the state
simply collected it. When it came it
was dumped into the revenue fund, and
went to swell the amount the legislature
could spend and squander.
Which of these two states. the one
Democratic and the other Republican;
the one unpretentious, the other osten-
tatiouS in claims of honesty, is the hon
est one? Is it the one which pays the
money back to the men who paid it, or
the one that, without shadow OF right,
appropriates it all?
There is no difficulty in this state of
ascertaining who is entitled to the
money. The tax duplicates Of the years
in which it was assessed show the
amount levied on the property listed.
The men or their heirs are living. 1t is
their money, and not the state of Min
nesota's. Can she afford to be less hon
est than Texas?
