Hs bought the slustache.

At Essen, few weeks ago, two
young men were seated outside cafe.
'OneSwas rosy and sbeardless, the other
tanned and mustached like the heavy
villain Of transpontine drama. Said
the rosy and beardless one, In q mo-
'ment OF guileless desire: II would Give
fifty marks for your mustache!.a The
other, with dramatic promptitude,
shipped off the envied adornment and
laying the hairs on the table, demanded
the fifty marks. The youth protested
that his offer was O joke. and refused
TO abide, by it. whcrenpon, his compan-
ion issued a writ against him to com pei
afulfllment of the contract. The ac.
ton came on for trial the other day,
and resulted in averdict for the plain
tiff. The beardless defendant is all
the more mortified because, in the
meantime, hissfriend has grown an
other fine mustache, Berlin Tageblatt

out q tire came of, Bibbs was in his
element. Broad trees overshadowcd
the road and the birds caroled among
them. He and the driver took the
wheel off and laid It down. in the sand.
After two hours of hard work the tire
consented to go on. AS Bibbs raised
himself from his STOPPING posture over
the, wheel, flushed and heated, he
caught Jemmima'seye. She was sitting
on asmossy bank weaving wreath Of
May apple and heart leaves as placid
Nv as # her home was on that particu-
lar bank. She nodded and smiled. .'How
disgusting some fools can act!" roared
Bibbs. ,Tz25
When within twenty miles of the
railroad one Of the horses gave out, and
It was getting late.4 The driver who
had been pulling at black bottle all
day crawled off under q tree and said:
"Sich as is In hurry kin 90 on, I'm
tired OF this" No persuasion could
aronse him. An OK team came along
on its way from the sawmill, which
took them to the nearest farmhouse.

The next morning the farmer too
them to the station, and late that night
they landed at home, sun-burned and
sore.
When Bibbs awoke and had assured
himself that he was again under his
own vine and fig tree he began to real
ize the painful soreness in his joints
and limbs. and wondered if he would
ever be able to walk again. Then the
door opened and a ray of sunlight
darted in. It was Mrs. Bibbs in dot
ted Swiss muslin. In her hand she
carried tray with hot coffee and
cakes. How disgusting some people
can be-" snarled Bibbs. Chicago Trib.

Next morning he was surprised to
find that instead Of hack spring

postmaster. "Only thirty miles. hev

A broad board was placed across the

the driver had a chair covered with a

The mules struck out on dead run.
At the end of two miles, the driver got
them under control, but the chair and
Jemmima had been overturned, and
Bibbs had lost his hat. He ''darned"

What do ye think OF that girl over there, Jimf

And the dimples laughing all around her
mouth
And that roguish look in her face9
Don't you think she's regular daisy, JIM
She looks at you just as sweet
And dancel Why, man, she could dance cat

ssy. don't you think she's a daisy, Jms
I've the biggest mind in life
To sot right square up to her now, man,
And az her to be my wife.
But I'd like to know what you think, Jim
You're levelheaded old coon
\ And, tho I'd hate to lose my chance,
There's no use in being too soon."
Well, Jack, old fellar, ef you want me to say
just 'zactly what do think,
I'd sooner have that girl in gray
Than ten OF your girls in pink.
She's pretty enough. the good Lord knows,
But from head to foot I can see
That shed think deal sight more Of herself
Than ever she'd think of me-
And I'll bet her brains are powerful small,
And her hearts o shallow place.
Don't do it, Jack! don't sell yourself
For the price OF q pretty face
Take the girl with the modest face and gown.
Now that's just what think.

sprawlihg in the wagon was in par
oxysm Of laughter.
There's disgusting things besides
hogs snorted Bibbs, as he started
back after his hat.
When within three miles of the
springs, and Bibbs had somewhat re-
gained his good humor, another catas-
trophe overlook them. The bolt that
held the coupling-tongue of the wagon
to the front axle broke, and the end of
the bed dropped to the ground, deposit
ing them all in the road except Bibbs,
who unfortunately fell across the freed
axle. The mules stopped when the ac-
cident occurred but quickly started off
on trot- AS Bihbs lay there on his
stomach he could neither get off nor
more securely on. A native whom he
met in the road liberated him.
When he returned to the place of ac-
cident he found Mrs. Bibbs sitting
upon q rock, cool and smiling; she had
witnessed his dilemma and rescue. He
called her fool. The native who had
liberated him procured cart and took
them on to the springs.
They remained at the springs three
days.
"You couldn't expect any saratogy

had made up his mind, however, and
he selected anotherroute for his return.

DRESS IMPROVEMENT ~

some Of the Questions Which Eater Into
This Prpblem.
Dress improvement, not reform. is
what is being aimedat, and this is evo-
lutionary, not revolutionary. With the
essentials secured the rest is a question
of art The aim Of all my work is to
urge the higher development of the
body and its immediate clothing with a
view to-the evolutiongof specialized
beauty in coming generations The elo-
auence of a superblyT poised figure,
nobly draped with reference to form,
color and radiation, is essentlal to
prove the superiority of high harmonies
over vulgar and distorted extremes.
Since, however. the development OF
form must precede expression and art
istic clothing, it is inevitable that manv
mistakes should be made during the ev-
olutionary period. Perfect dress must
recognize such permanent principles as
freedom, comfort, grace, and aesthetic
elegance, and above all the general
characteristics of the wearer and the
occasion upon which any given dress
may be worn. That fashion ignores
these principles may be accident or de-
sign, indifference or ignorance, but the
result is the same-diseomfort and dis
proportion. --Boeton Globe.
