Toward the close Of the trial OF NJ. +.
Kerr of Charlottesville, Ind, for forgery,
an incident occurred which, while anus
ing, demonstrated that the average
American still believes IN the efficacy OF
''signs.r During Il lull in the proceed
ings q strange black cat, with tierce,
glaring eyes, appeared in tine doorway,
causing solemn silence to fal ever the
assembly. 1t paused, looked about, and
slowly swishing its tail to and fro ad-
yanced toward the space between the
prisoner and the Jury's box. The ST.
lence became oppressive, and the judge,
lawyers, jurors and prisoner craned their
necks and with open mouths gazed at
the creature.
Would the apparition approach the
prisoner to be touchedy Ii so the man
was innocent and would be freed.
After standing as il transhxed for sec
onds ii approached the prisoner, who
with superhuman effort stretched
forth his hand and touched the glossy
fur. Immediately the cat gave joyous
meow and disappeared, Ali were con
vinced that Kerr would go free. He was
acquitted. Cincinnati Enquirer.

A Daring Rider.

Miss Ethel Chase Sprague, the grand
daughter of Chief Justice Chase, is re-
markable horsewoman, both graceful
and fearless.
She rode at memorable paper chase
by the Cross Country club of New York
not long since. The roads were in a
bad condition and several of the best
riders fell cut. Near the end Of the
chase the way seemed impossible from
the bitches and the gullies and the
swollen creeks. Rock creek had risen
high from the long rains. The woods
were heavy and many branches broken.
Miss Sprague on Star was in the lead.
Take care, Miss Ethel! Do take care,

her. Look ont for that fallen tree!''
On plunged Star and his fearless mis-
tress. Her head struck branch, but
with steady rein she guided Star

laid on his neck and her nat and veil
caught in the tree. The last ditch was

Tell it not in Gath, but milady this
season has discarded the cumbersome
petticoats, and even the separate dress
lining, the latter being attached to the
skirt itself, like the lining of jacket.
This is better than any divided garment
ever invented. The long, clinging skirt
is perfectly comfortable, and the limbs
are as untrammeled as they ought to be,
consistent with femininity. Ashort cider
down skirt, coming just below the knee,
gives warmth and protection. 1t would
