nlsannearance of the pu,ter.

Where has the duster gone? 1t Is
still worn in the West. 1t still app
pears on longer lines Of travel. Its
manifest and sensible convenience
endears it to middle-aged men. But
on 4 short line like that between this
CITY and New York the buster has
disappeared as completely as last
winters snownakes The clothing
stores keep them on the back shelves.
Few are sold. The big wholesale
dealers do not sell dozen where they
once disposed of bales. In Few
short years this convenient garment
has been relegated to the country
districts and the provinces. Yet In
our climate, with our hot dry sum-
mers, our abundant dust and long
railroad Journeys, the buster ought
to have become a permanent article
of clothing for all travellers. -Phila-

Su-ceaa in Lie.

eff we expect to succeed in life we
must make up our mind - wor X
hard. We must not let it be our no
ton OF fine lady or gentleman to do
nothing. The idle life is miserable
life: it is bound to be so. God has
promised many blessing to indus
try; He has prom sed none to indo-
lence. God Himself works, and He
wants His children to work.
"The second thing that tends di
rectly to success in life is distinct
aim. A man may run very hard in
race; the perspiratiOn may stream
from his brow, and every muscle be
strained; but if he is not running in
a right direction, if he is running
away from the goal, all his activity
will not help him. So industrious
habits are not sufficient, unless we
have distinct idea of what we are
aiming at. The world is full of pur-
poseless people, and such people come
to nothing.
"The third essential to success in
life is moral character, in lis various
elements of honesty, truthfulneSs,
steadiness, temperance. Honesty is
the best policy is one of these
worldly maxims that express the ex-
perience of mankind. A small leak
will sink great ship. One tad
string in a harp will turn its music
into discord. Any flaw in moral
lnf hpir
disaster. We may have
other qualifications that go to COM
mand success, such as those we have
noticed-industry and distinct aim
but want of principle will render
them useless.
"The last essential to success in
life is religious hopefulness. Our in
dustry, our purpose, our principles
may be all that they ought to be, yet
the race is not always to the swift
nor the battle to the strong
Christian faith keeps men in good
heart amid many dlScouragemeDts.
Even if a man or woman becomes
rich or clever and have life pleasant
around them, they cannot feel, at
the close of life, that they have sue
ceeded, if the future is dark before
them. When Cardinal Wolsey, who
had been the favorite of the King,
and had long held the Government
of England in his hand, fell from
power, he said: If had served my
God as truly as l served my King, He
would not have forsaken me in my
gray hairs. The world is poor
comforter at the last. Rev. ]. Cam
eron Lees, D. d.

Twain Lied,

The following tory is told Of Mark
Twain py a gentleman who lives near
his residence at Hartford: One day
Mark answered the telephone, and,
after hallooing for some time with

was certainly picturesque. While
thus engaged he heard an answer in
astonished tones, and recognized the
voice of an eminent divine whom he
knew very we'll. is that you, Doc

hear what you said. My butler has
been at the telephone and said he

DUEL TO. THE DEATH.
Kentucky Citizens Engage in Bloody
Encounter.

A desperate fight occurred between two
prominent citizens of. Sewer county, KY

Eighteen pistol shots were fired and
Cation was struck by six, nearly every one OF
which, Of itself, would have proved fatal.
He fell ind expired in an hour.
Mcmahon was saved by his pocket-knife,
