AN AWFUL CHARGE.

Deputy Marshal George Stewart
came in this morning from Loves
Valley having in custody j. n. Clark,
charged with incest. the object of his
lust being his 16 year old daughter.
The prisoner was in chains and is a
hard looking customer. lie had \
preliminary hearing this morning be-
fore Commissioner Gibbons at
which the daughter was the princi-
pal witness. She testified of the
criminal conduct of her unnatural
father, giving in detail the circum-
stances which led to her submission
to his brutalities. The brother also
appeared against the prisoner. 1t
was the brother q married man
himself, who first made the discovery
of the outrage. The defendant pro-
tests his innocence aud says it is 9
hatched up charge in order to get
rid of him SO that the girl can keep
company of a young man with whom
he had forbidden her to associate.
His bond was placed at $1,000 which
he failed to give and he will be taken
to Paris.

UPKINS HUNG.

Jim Upkins, the negro rapist, was
hung at Paris yesterday morning at
11:55. He protested his innocence TO
the last aud said he was going
straight to heaven. The crime for
which he was executed was commit
ted in this city September s, 1898 in
the outraging of his six year-Old step
daughter, Mary Warden. The oc-
currence is still fresh in the mi minds of
the people and was most revolving
crime. The negroes here organized
. mob for the purpose of lynching
Upkins at the time, and they would
have accomplished their purpose but
for the bold stand of the commission
er and band of determined deputy
marshals. The victim to the crime is
living in Honey Grove, Texas, but
will be an invalid for lite.

1t will be remembered that a few
days since mention was made OF the
fact that letter containing check
for $1,000 from Lum johnson to his
son Hugh at College Station, TEX,
had been lost or stolen. 1t was re-
turned to Mr.. johnson his morning,
stamped at Wooteu Wells, TEX, as not
called for and returned to writer 3s
per printed request on the envelope.
AS the letter was plainly addressed
and as there is NO similarity between
the names of College Station and
Wooten Wells, it is very strange how
it failed to reach its proper destina-
ton. The only solution is that the
post master, at Wooten Wells must
be o republican.

LAYER. or two around the body, so that
it viii taper up to the waist line.
For the foundation on which the doll
is to stand cut piece of cardboard in a
circular shape with diameter Of three
and half inches.
Now cut piece of fancy Powered silk
with length the height of the doll and
breadth little more than the circum-
ference of the cardboard Sew the
piece together and then shirr the top
edge to fit around the shoulders, not
the neck. Also gather it in snugly
around the dolls waist and cut two
holes for the arms, leaving enough
cloth to shirr down like short sleeves.
Cut piece of fine white flannel or
cashmere in the shape of an apron and
fasten it over the front of the silk
gown by means of few concealed
stitches. Tie narrow ribbon around
as belt to hide the edge. This apron
is for sticking darning needles and
other coarse needles in.
Fold a square of turkey red twill or
scarlet cloth crosswfse into shawl shape
and place it over the shoulders of the
doll securing it there by few hidden
stitches.
Now fasten firmly strong bodkin or
tape runner across the back at the
shoulders. This forms the milk-pail
yoke. From each end of the yoke sus-
pend a large spool of white cotton
thread, these representing milk pals.
The handles are made out of the wire,
as in the picture, wound once around
the hands of the doll and attached TO
ribbons which go up and tie at the ends
of the yoke.
Now stand the milkmaid firmly on
the cardboard, turn in the edge of her
gown to the right length and fasten it
1 around the entire circle of a row OF
pins placed very close together.
There she stands, all dressed, except
ing her tall hat. This hat is made of a
top thimble" thrust through a close
fitting hole in round piece of card
board, leaving enough OF the cardboard
to extend about the head like hat
brim The hat may be secured upon
the head by drop or two of melted
sealingwax, and is to serve as rest
or holder for your own sewing thimble.
You have good pincushlon of the
millmaid's stuffed out gown, cushion
for large needles of her apron, a cushion
for fine needles of her bright scarlet
/ shawl, and a holder for your thimble,
while her pals give you two spools OF
cotton, with the ends concealed, yet
loose enough to be easily found. You
can hang pair of scissors on hook
attached to her belt, but though this
makes of her a very complete needle
woman's friend" it detracts from her
appearance as milkmaid. Chicago

some Points Ahont Pins.

Thorns were originally used in fast

was the latter half of the fifteenth
century before pins We're used in Great

England the iron wire, of the proper
length, was filed TO a point, and the
other extremity twisted into head
This was slow process, and four OF
five hundred pins was a good days

THE sABY's LAYErTE.
Articles That Are Necessary TO Make the
Little Beings Comfortable.

Articles That Are Necessary TO Make the
Little Beings Comfortable.
Everyone has different idea of what
the wardrobe for the little baby should
consist. The babies themselves are
pretty much alike in their require
ments, and so it seems that they might
be governed by one simple rule.
The foundation is generally the same,
but the variations are found in the diff
ferent forms of elaboration and ex-
pense. In this article / want to tell
what is necessary TO make the baby
comfortable and how to arrange for it.
We will begin with the bands-the first
article Of clothing that is put on the
baby.
These, of course, are made of flannel.
They want to be made from a nice
piece. at about 65 cents a yard, and
should be torn in strips fifteen inches
long and five inches wide; six are
enough. Do not turn down the edges,
for even that little hem is rough for
the baby's skin. If any decoration is
wanted buttonhole them along both
sides with white silk. That is all that
is necessary.
The incest shirts are those made
of silk and wool mixed, high.
necked and long sleeved. These should
button all the way down the front. II
is much easier to put them on when
they button in that way, and saves put.
ting over the head, which the baby
always di&ikes. They can be bought
for 81. is apiece. Six is a generous sup
ply, and two can be boughta size larger
than the other four, which should be
the smallest size. A less expensive
skirt that is very good is of cotton and
wool mixed, for about 65 cents.
Next come the barrow skirts. These
| are made with cambria walstband
| inches deep and Is inches long. The
| flannel is gathered in at the bottom OF
the band, and should be about 25 inches
long. 1t is left open all the way up
and is bound with flannel binding all
around the edge. The same quality
flannel as used for the bands will dc
| for these. There should be six. Babies
as a rule, do not wear the barrow skirt:
longer than the first three months
Then they will need the flannel skirts
which do not differ very much. They
are larger, and do not open up the
front, and are generally embroidered
around the bottom. There is no better
or prettier way to finish flannel thar
to work it in this way. OF course it IL
much less expensive to buy the hannel
and have it stamped and do it yoursel-
than it is TO buyA the flannel already
embroidered. fit is winter baby,
a good plan is to make the band Of the
skirt also of flannel. These skirt!
should be quite full to look nicely

How to Glen Windows.

Simple as the operation may seem
there is way to clean windows and a
way not to clean them. The following
suggestions may be of use to some, as
they save both time and labor: Choose
a time when the sun does not shine on
the window, else it will dry streaked,
and no amount of rubbing can prevent
it. Brush off all the dust inside and
out; clean the woodwork around the
glass first. Use for this warm water
and ammonia; do not use soap. Wipe
dry with cotton cloth Do not use
linen, as it leaves lint on the glass
when dry. Polish with tissue or old
newspaper

Almost as Tongh AS Cats.

Next to a cat, there is nothing so
tough and tenacious of life as Rocky
mountain burro. and some of the tales
told about this little animal are almost
marvellous. One day, as the express
train was running into Santa Fe, n.
NJ, the engineer spied burro walking
the track. He whistled and slowed up,
but the surro ignored all signals, and,
in consequence, was knocked about
thirty feet ahead of the train. One
hoof still lay on the track, and the en-
gineer, coming to stop, got out with
his fireman to push the carcass into the
ditch. Each seized leg, but before
they could heave the burro scrambled
to his feet, planted a couple of kicks on
the two men, jumped the ditch and
was off. On the next trip the burro
was seen, a little stiff in one leg, but
otherwise uninjured.

This Is Said to BE Good.

Shell twenty-four walnuts; divide
them into halves. Take one pound Of
prunes, soak over night, and remove
the stones. Save the water in which
they have been soaked, to which add
one cup of sugar. Boil for a. moment
and skim. Then add the walnuts and
prunes. Cover and stand on the back
part of the stove for at least thirty
minutes, until the strip is thick and
dark, the prunes tender, and the wal
nuts soft. Serve cold, as you would
any other preserve.
