Ther Mere nll TeIegraphers.

L was engrossed in my maga-
zine as the train sped on, and did
not notice that bride and groom
had entered the car at small sta
ton, but my attention was attracted
to the couple in rather an odd way
by telegraphic signs.
Two young men who sat opposite
to each other across the aisle were
making remarks about them by
ticking with their pocket-knives on
the metal arm of the seat, says a
writer in Harper's Bazaar.
"Sweet as a peach, isn't she?"

scat was Immediately behind the

"See how close he sits to his toot-

others hand, aren't they?"
"No, but they arc exchanging
love glances."
GLOW on earth do you suppose a
chump like that managed to catch
such an angel2"
"Give it up. She surely couldn't
see anything in him to admire"
"Her lips were just made for
kisses"

"Sayl"
"Well?"
"When the train gets to the next
tunnel I'm going to reach over and
kiss her."
"You wouldn't dare"
"Yes 1 would. She'd think it

Their telegraphic conversation
ceased here, for the bridegroom had
taken out his pocket-knife and COM
menced to tick off this message on
the arm of the seat:
"When the train gets to the next
tunnel the chump proposes to reach
over and hammer your two heads
together till your teeth drop out

Soon after that two passengers
might have been seen sneaking of
to the smoking car, and they re-
mained in the smoker not only
while the train went through the
tunnel, but until they reached their
destination.

The tine in woman from the arm
pit to The ankle is the one of princi-
pal beauty in the sculptor that has
been exlolled- by nine generations
of the most intellectually cultivated
ofour race through the varying
conditions of 300 years. 1t is this
line that is pushed inward by me-
chanieal force till an ugly angle is
produced at the hips. So wide is
the departure from true beauty that
it is; assumed that the distortion is
natural, and that the normal use of
the hideous hollow is to support
weight.
The outline of the front of a wo-
mans body is also composed of
similar gentle outward curves, not
one inward curye from the chin
over the breastbone and below.
Meyer corset was made that did
not destroy the beauty of this line,
making depression below the bust.
exaggerating it's proper size and
most repulsiyely enlarging the nat
ural outword curve of the abdomen.
A slight sketch by an artist would
show at once that the modest curves
of the typical womanly form are
distinctly unlike the more spirited
lines of a man-one suggesting re-
firing beauty, the other aggressive
ness and bravery.
We consider the finest develop
ment for woman that which best
illustrates her typical qualities.
We consider the best dress for wo-
man that which fails to obscure her
distinctive physical features. In
pictures of good costumes faithfully
represented or idealized by artists
we find those giving most pleasure
which tend to enhance these differ
ing characteristics. = PHILADELPHIA

Didn't Like the Weapons.

group of auditors.
"Tell us about it, said they as
one man.
"When 1 was about thirty" he
continued, 81 hung out my shingle
in small town in southern state,
and being from the north I did not
receive at first the agreeable recog-
milton 1 expected. In fact, there
was one bIatherskite ofa fellow who
made himself SO obnoxious that one
day slapped his jaws. This brought
ali the respectable people of the
community over to my side, and 1
was feeling pretty good for three or
four days, when the bottom was
knocked out of it all by my receiv-
ing challenge from Mr.. Blather-
slSite. Ifthere was anything more
than another that I didn't want to
do 1t was TO hghta DUEL ana L tried
to get out of it some way, but /
couldn't, and finally accepted his
challenge and chose doubled bar
relied shot-guns at ten PAGES. 1
didn't hear anything from my man
for twenty-four hours, and then l
had a personal call from him.
al nave come in" he said after
few preliminary remarks, "to make
a statement about this duel. What
I've got to say is that shot guns are
too doggoned mortuary for me, and
if you have no objections I'll apollo
gize and call it square"
Then 1 became very brave and
clustered some, but l accepted the
situation very gracefully at last, and
ever after Mr.. Blatherskite was
most respectful, and stood about as
we'll in the town as he ever did"

But One Guilty Man and His Confession

But One Guilty Man and His Confession
OF Won Horse Thief his Liberty.
Proctor Knott, famous as an elo-
quent Governor of Kentucky, was
Missourian in the fifties. He was
Gov. Stewards Attorney General.
Knott tells story of Stewart which,
although very old, is declared by
him to have had its origin just as he
states it. One day, SO Knott re-
lates, the pair were walking through
the penitentiary on sort of inspec-
ton tour. Prisoners were then per-
mitted to approach the Governor in
person and plead with him for exec
utive clemency. AS the officials
passed through the corridors, Stew
art asked one after another of the
convicts about his case.
al am here, said one, for a murder
I never committed"
@And I'm in, said another, 'sfor
attempting to kill, when it was
clean case of self-defense.
Il am innocent, too, Governor,
said another. al never stole thing
in my life.
Gov. Stewart asked hundreds of
questions, but every convict declar-
ed his innocence, and begged for
pardon. Atlength, just before leav-
ing the prison, the executive met
young fellow carrying load of
some sort of product. The convict
saluted respectfully, and was pass
ing on, when the Governor stopped
him.
"what are you here fOrs" he
asked.
@For stealing horses, your excel
lency." was the reply.
"But, of course you are innocent"
the Governor went on, winking at
Gen. Knott.
"of course I'm nothing of the
Sort" said the prisoner, al stole EN-,
and I've got three years to do yet"
"Well," said Gov. Stewart, "you
will be pardoned tomorrow. l am
sorry that it will be necessary for
you, a guilty, bad man, to remain
here even another night with all
these innocent gentlemen. You
will contaminate them"
The truthful young horse thief
was free the next day, and, oddly
enough, he became an honest, valu-
able citizen Chicago Tribune.

The Arabs claim that Ewes tomb
is at Judah, the seaport of Mecca.

last resting place of the first woman.
According to Arabian tradition Eve

gends, the anniversary of the death
of Abel-the doors of the temple,

Heroic Railroad Men.

Every time q wreck train goes out
on one of the branching lines and
comes back with load of splinters
and junk the "boys'' at the junction
have something to talk about for a
week. They never become excited
over a smashup and list of injured,
but when it happens the old fellows
are reminiscent for day or two the
youngsters who pull out every sec
ond day in close cabs and on top of
icy freight cars are unusually
thoughtful.
There is something soldierly in
the quiet heroism of railroad men
who have known danger and expect
to die some day under a heap of
box cars. You realize this when
you get next to them and find what
kind of men they are under the
plaid jackets and coal dust. And
you like them better when you
know them we'll.
