HE EMPHASIZED THE LIE.
As Told by the Sporty Man the Yar
 While Tall, Was Incomplete.

As Told by the Sporty Man the Yarn,
 While Tall, Was Incomplete.
 The boarders were sitting around the parlor. The landlady had just served one of her famous o'clock dinners (35 cents apiece, or a quarter if you buy ten tickets at time), and the partakers needed rest as much as anything unless it was pepsin.
 The sporty young man, who had been there but week, was telling story about a friend of his who was in the theatrical business, advance agent or something of the kind. "It was this way,' said the sporty boarder. "Jack always was quite @ hand to play the horses, and that day he was particularly lucky. He went out to the track with a $10O bill. He saw the card was an easy one, and he resolved to plug it. He picked 6 to 1 shot in the first race, and it won. Then he went on, playing every race, and when the sport was ovel he had won just $15, ,0OO."
 The soubrette opened her eyes and whistled. The ministerial looking man who sat over in the corner said, Why don't you go on and finish the story?"
 Finish the story?'' asked the sporty boarder in surprise. "Why, what more is there to tell? What more is there to it?''
 ''Pshaw," said the ministerial look ing man, "you know as we'll as I do that your friend hurried back to town and won $9, 900 more before dark play ing croquet. Buffalo Express.

KEEP A STIFF LOWER LIP.
It Is the TeIltale One, and the Upper Lip
 Can Take Care of Itself.

It Is the TeIltale One, and the Upper Lip
 Can Take Care of Itself.
 II can't understand ' said a young lady of observation, "why you men, who see so much and know so much, persist in the phrase, Keep stiff up per lip.' You use it as a sort of pictur- esque synonym for firmness of purpose and demeanor, but it has no value as such. The upper lip is not the weak member of the two. It is the under lip that wants stifTerirg The upper lip is practically cxp-essionless. It usually lies flat on the teeth, it is nearly always covered with a mustache-I refer, of course, to the male upper lip-and in conversation, especially in correctly languid conversation, it does not move at all Like the Chinese joss, it's harmless creature and can be safely let alone.
 "It is the neither lip that has to be watched and controlled. can always tell when man is going to propose to me by the way ill which he vets his under lip and presses it against the up per for companionship and support, just the very things he is seeking for. And can always tell if man is lying by peculiar fuctuation and pulsation in this same lower lip He will look you right straight in the eye, grow fierce and drop his voice into his boots through the weight of his emotion, but if there is that twitch about the lower lip l don't believe him, and I've never been wrong yet. If a man feels deeply, l mean feels sorrow, not affects it, it is in the "reminiscences of the under lip that he shows it. The sensitive mans lower lip is seldom still, and there is sometimes about it positive pulsation that takes in the whole curve of the chin. The pout begins in the lower lip and is really confined to it, for the upper lip is only pushed out by pressure from below. You can't pout with your upper lip alone.
 ''In fact, you can't assume or affect any expression with the upper lip alone Just try it. Hold the lower lip firm with the finger and look ill the glass there. The mouth has become simply a hole in the face, you see, and so far as the expressionful character of the lip goes it is as if you had lost feature.
 II you want to Keep Dack smile, it's the lower lip that you must look after. Weakness begins there, whether of character, health or age. It is not the weak upper lip that tells of down fall. It is the dropping, pendulous lower lip that shows it. And let me tell you something, please, for the benefit of my sisters who have not had the advan-I mean the experience that have. Tell them that whenever they see the lower | lip of their male companions turn out and over thickly that it's danger sig nal. It's the red flag of mischief, and they had better say goodby. Keep stiff lower lip, young man. "-New York | Sun.

 ''They told me he escaped, not meet ing her eyes.
 Then she told him

 He had risen and was holding both her hands as she sat before him.
 II know it's true, ,'' he said earnestly. II saw him. He was taken out of the train at the junction where I waited. Died of heart disease, they said, with out a struggle or word. '
 He spoke slowly, as if to give her time to take in the significance of his words Her face whitened slowly, and as he finished she dropped at his feet in a faint like death.
 She was married in the dim twilight in the old church at home, with just her mother and sisters near her, and her fa- ther watching her with softened eyes. The organ murmured' ill full, soft chords, but there were no strangers, no bridal display. As she stepped out into the sweet spring evening the young faint crescent of the moon met her eyes.

Count Raphael Cohen, head of the ia nous Belgian banking firm, who pur- chased his title of count, has tendency to drop the name of Cohen and to retain that of Antwerp, Anvers being the Gal licized equivalent of Antwerp, Count and Countess c. d'Anvers sounding much better than Cohen of Antwerp.

at its thirty first annual

association, at its thirty first annual meeting, held in Philadelphia, adopted resolution condemning the docking" of horses tails and calling attention to the fact that nature surely intended the tail as the animals S defense against the assaults of insects. There is nothing new ill the announcement that the tail is a useful appendage, but those persons who are ever vigilant to avert cruelty to animals will be delighted to have the duly recorded support of such an au- thority as the Veterinary association. Tho practice of docking horses tails is wholly indefensible. Some people try to justify it on the ground that it i'm proves the horses appearance. It does not. It simply spells the good looks of any horse so operated upon. - Washing ton Star.

Under this head Ralph Waldo Elmer lon wrote: Iris an estimable hint owe to few persons of fine manners that they make behavior the very first sign of force-behavior, not perform ance, or talent, or, much less, wealth. While almost every body has a suppli- eating eye turned on events and things and other persons, a few natures are central and forever unfold, and these alone charm us. He whose word or deed you cannot predict, who answers you without any suppljcation ill his eye, who draws his determination from within, that man rules. ''

CHRISTMAS DAY THoUGHTs. - Santa Claus is a curious old gentleman, He will not enter chimney until it scots him.
 That it is better to give than to receive is proved by the fact that the custom of giving at Christmas has outlived the cus- tom of receiving at New Years.
 Utility should not always be the guiding factor in the selection of gift. A ton of coal is always useful, but hardly appro- priate to send to your best girl.
 There are some people who would be dissatisfied on Christmas morning if Santa Claus had dropped the earth into their stockings the night before. Fortunately their number must always be limited, be- cause very few people wear stockings suf- ficiently large to accommodate so exten- sive present.

USE IT IN TIME.-C Catarrh starts in the nasal passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat, and is, in fact, the great enemy of the mucous membrane. Neglected colds in the head almost invariably precde ca tarrh, causing an excessive flow of mu- cous, and if the mucous discharge be- comes interrupted the disagreeable re- suits of catarrh will follow, such as bad breath, severe pain across forehead and about the eyes, roaring and buzZing sound in the ears, and oftentimes very offensive discharge.

Judges Hallett and Riner sitting in
the United States District Court at
Denver have rendered decision in
favor of the Denver & Gulf road in its
petition to compel the Union Pacific
to live up to its contracts with the
Gulf road These contracts relate to
the use by the Union Pacific of the
Julesburg ut-off, which service the
receivers are ordered not to discon-
tinue. 1t also covers the payment of
interest on the Gulf bonds which the
Union Pacific had guaranteed but now
disclaims responsibility for.
The decision in the first-named mat
ter squarely opposes the action of
Judge Dandy in Omaha That judge
issued an order permitting the U nion
Pacific receivers to abandon the few
feet of the ,Julesburg line which lies
in Nebraska.
The receivers for the Union Pacific
announce that they will appeal to the
Court of Appeals at st. Louis.

owners was held in the office Of the

from an authoritative source that the
owners decided to adhere to their de-
mand for a nine-hour day at the rate

The owners represented mines en-

FARMERS ALLIANCE.
ANNUAL MEETING AT TOPEKA.
A Large Number OF Well Known Men In
Attendance.

The lower floor Of Representative
Hall, Topeka, was filed Tuesday
morning by 400 people, assembled to
hear the opening speeches OF the
National Farmers Alliance and Indus
trial Union. About forty delegates
were present,
Governor Lcwelling delivered the
address Of welcome on behalf Of Kan
sas, and John +. Willis for the State
| Alliance. Farmer Dean Of New
York and Mann Page of Richmond,
Virginia, responded.
A secret session was held in the at
ternoon, followed by public meeting
at night, at which time President
Loucks delivered his annual address.
President Loucks' address began
with reference to the present ipan-
cial depression, and said that at no
period in the nations history have
there been so many idle people as at
the presen. time, Tariff legislation,
he said, was not the cause of the panic.
1t was simply want of money!
moneY famine.
The speaker was emphatic in his de-
nunciation of legislation against silver.
He declared against Il per capita basis
for money, and argued for the govern
ment ownership of railways. He be
lieved that the government should not
attempt to gain the ownership of all
roads at once. The governor said he
was suspicious of the attempt to fore
close the governments mortgage on
the Union Pacific. He was radical in
! his opposition to the issuance of bonds,
and said perpetual bonded indebted
ness is the object sought.
The political demands adopted
Wednesday are the same as last year.
Two resolutions in addition were
adopted, not as demands, but as sub
jcc,s to be discussed by the sub-alli-
anccs One is in favor of such state
legislation as will place the liquor
traffic under state agents properly
bound to obey the laws so as to climi-
nate from the business the element of
profit.
The judiciary committee was abol-
ished, and the president was author
lied to appoint five lecturers and place
each in charge of district instead Of
electing one as heretofore.
The new constitution, presented by
II. l.. Upson of New York, was turned
over to the executive committee to
prepare for the next session.
The place of meeting next year was
left with the executive committee.
The officers elected are as follows.
President, Marion Butler Of North
Carolina; vice president, j. l.. Gilbert
of California; secretary and treasurer,
d. p Duncan of South Carolina; ex.
ecutive committee, l. II. Dean of New
York, Mann Paige of Virginia, ii. G.
