Tho Trick by which the Famous Race
Horse Got His Name.

Horse Got His Name.
Many stories ale told of Little Minch,
the race horse. which indicate that he
is a remarkably sagacious animal. Some
would assert that he is capable of rea-
soning. but horse fauciers are liable to
distort instinct and pure ROBUSTNESS
into reason and sagacity. 1t is said that
while this son of Glenelg was being
transported east after his sale as year
ling he was given a nickname by rail-
road engineer that was subsequently APP
piled to the horse, and under it he won
his laurels. Little MinCh's car was at
tached to the front end of passenger
train, and the bellrOpe passed through
it, the same as it would through pas
senger car. The horse was playful, and
after several unsuccessful attempts to
seize the rope in his teeth the spiteful
little youngstcr finally got the cord and
gave it lusty jerk. The bell in the en-
CINE cab sounded, and the engineer, fear
ing something was wrong back in the
train, made haste to shut off steam and
apply his airbrake. After coming to a
stop he waited Cor the astonished train
men to come up to his cab. They de-
MED that any enc had pulled the cord,
and the engineer passed the occurrence
with the remark, Maybe the rope
caught and frightened while We were
going around a curve"
But the mischief loving Little MinCh
was having a lot Of fun in the car. No
sooner had the train got under Roadway
again than he again seized the bellcord
and gave it another jerk. Once more
the engineer came to stop, declaring
that the bell ringing was the work of
tramps, but search for the ride steal
ers failed to reveal any, and the train
proceeded. With almost human rogu-
cry Little Minch again seized the
rope, but he was not content with one
jerk, and the way he pulled that rope
was caution. The enraged engineer
slipped back i'll time to see the horse
Juggling at the rope, which he had bit
ten in two by his efforts, as if his life
depended upon his ability to tear it out
of the train. "Oh, you little minch! So
it was you, was it?" cried the engineer.
And the horse stopped and hung his
head much as guilty boy would have
done. The story was retold many times,
and the animal was named Little
Minch. Tribune.

A WoOdchopper's Vision.

A chopper in the Kilkenny woods re-
lates story that he implicitly believes.
This is his narrative: Il was at work
The night was dark and rainy, and the
wind howled and moaned in the tree
tops. | went to bed, as the whole camp
does, at 8 o'clock that is, the lights
are blown out at that hour, as is the
rule in camp. Directly opposite my
bunk was small window that one
could see ont. l could not sleep and
kept rolling and tumbling.
Il think must have got into sleep,
for was awakened by light shining
into the window, and a woman $ face
appeared as if looking in. | am sure
it was the COuntenanCe of my sister, who
died in Quebec two years ago. Strange
to say, | was not scared. The light dis
appeared, and then again it shone in.
This time the wOman's hand appeared
at the window, reckoning me to come.
| got up and pulled on my trousers and
went to the door. BY this time the wind
had stopped blowing, the rain had ceas-
ed, and the moon shone through the
clouds at times.
Standing near the woodpile was my
sister. | recognized her now. | stepped
toward her, but she mOtiOned me back,
saying, Joe, don t work tomorrow, and
vanished l saw no more of her that
night. The next day staid in camp,
and before noon Bill was brought in
dead A limb had fallen and broken his
skull. He and worked together. My
sister has come to save life once since.

jeremiah, who is - years old, is al
ready a confirmed pessinist Among the
things he continually grumbles about are
his lead pencils, which never have points,
and to sharpen which he always has to
borrow knife of some schoolmate.
"Why don't you have a knife of your
own, jerry" one of the boys asked.
Got no pockets to keep it in" said
Jerry.
Then why don't you have a pockets?
"If had one I'd have a hole in it,"
"Well, even then you wouldn't be any
worse off than you are now"
Him! Yes, l should. If had pock-
eth hole in it l never'd have anything
to lose through it."

selves we'll to the fashion. The costume
may be all of one material, or there may be
a skirt and bodice of silk, with a shorter
second skirt of gauze and gauze trimmings
on the cOrsage. Great liberty of form is al
lowed to the second skirt. 1t may be long
or short, pointed or round, plain or trim
med, straight or draped. 1t may be COM
plete all around, or it may diminish to
nothing at the back. 1t is sometimes COM
posed of accordion plated thin silk or
gauze cut in deep points around the bot
tom and is then called bats wing'-a
name bestowed by a poetical Frenchman
with an eye for comparisons.
An evening dress of light yellow satin has
a long trained skirt draped with alencon
lace. The lace is wide enough to reach al
most to the floor where it hangs plain in
front, but it is draped slightly over the hips
and caught up in folds at the back, allow
ing the shortened ends fall forward again
with a coquille effect The plain, low bodice
has folded satin belt closing at the back
under a rosette. The round cut corsage is
finished with bertha of Grape and lace,
very full at the shoulders, where it falls
over a short pulled sleeve.

A Long Wait.

In drawing up a will it is always
best to call in the aid of solicitor.
Otherwise your executors may have a
lot of trouble, and the bulk of your prop
erty be swallowed up in law costs.
These consequences are likely to follow
in the case of the will of Morris Rob
erts, the Birmingham prize fighter.
The bulk of the property is to remain
in the Bank of England tor 20 years, at
the expiration of which time it is to be
equally divided among the sorrowing
relatives. Figaro.

Progressive Dinner Parties.

Progressive dinner parties are finding
plenty of admirers in Boston. IF the
girl you take in is slow, all you have to
do is to take your wine glasses, your
bread and your napkin and go to other

ty and interesting girl" is the way one
who has tried it puts the case.-Boston

Very Refined NIammas still Favor FIannels
and Soft Wooden Goods.

Full coats mounted on yoke or gathered
in at the neck or shoulders are still the ia
vorite outdoor garment for children. Some
times the yoke is made of different mate
rial, or it is ornamented with bands of EN-
broidery or insertion. Again it is entirely
concealed by a wide collar or pelerine. The
sleeves are invariably full and are gathered
into long or short cuff. Violet is favor
lite color this season, and red is also much
used. Hats are large and richly trimmed
with feathers, while even the drawn silk
bonnets have blossomed out into something
almost as elaborate as fashionable wom-
ans reception headgear Fur, velvet and
brocade are employed both for wraps and
dresses, together with the richest of silks.
In fact, all the expensive materials used
for a grownup wardrobe have been brought

down into the children's domain, rather to
the disadvantage of the small people, whose
eyes are so bright and compilations so pure
that it seems unappreCiative to deck them
out in costly and striking stuffs and modes
that distract the eye from their natural
beauties. Mothers of the most refined tastes
still hold to the fine flannels and pretty soft
wooden goods for their children made and
trimmed in suitably simple fashion, de-
ferring the purple and fine linen TO a later
period. Soft, bright plaids are always APP
propriate and youthful, while nuns yelling,
cashmere and fine French serge in delicate
colors are quite dainty enough for festive
occasions. In white or cream the latter
goods wash well and so may be kept i'm
maculate, while silken fabrics once njured
are ruined forever. 1t is strange, but there
are mothers who will not understand that
a clean print frock is in better taste than
soiled fDery.
A charming and at the same time simple
cloak for little child is made Of blue and
white striped stuff 1t is gathered in at the
neck, from which it falls in full folds all
around. The shoulders are covered with a
wide plated pelerine, pointed back and
front. The full sleeves have pointed
turned back cuff The trimming consists
of bands of swans down, which form a
pointed trimming around the lower part of
the coat, border the pelerine and cuffs and

PHILOSOPHY AND BALL GOWNS.

Carelessly Costumed Venus.

world several pieces of wisdom lately-for

beautiful as Venus and a plain one cos

woman will lie his choice"

master Workman Barrett of the Switch
men Makes a Statement.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 24.-Grand
Master Workman Miles W. Barrett, the
national head Of the Switchmen's Mu-
tual Aid association, has returned home
from Chicago. He had been in that
city for several weeks past, occupied
with other members Of the order in
clearing up the business affairs of the
association, and has had 81 busy time of
1t. On being asked as to the present
status OF the association, Mr.. Barrett
said:
"The Switchmen's Mutual Aid asso-
citation is dissolved. The dissolution
was not caused by the recent strike,
though it has been claimed that that
was the cause Of the collapse of the Or
ganization."
"What caused the dissolution then?"
"Nothing more or less than the de-
falcation OF our treasurer, Simsrott. We
have been busy i'll Chicago seeing to the
books which Simsrott kept and finding
out our precise financial standing and
other matters. AS to our financial
standing I may say that we have found
Simsrott's defalcation amounted to $685.
600. This we have found out by care
full going over of the books. The Off
GERS Of the association are now engaged
in clearing up its business. Everything
will be finished this month. The bene-
ticiaries, of whom there are about IS,
will be paid in a short time. Then we
shall proceed to reorganize."

Didn't Start UD.

CHICAGO, July 24.-Contrary to ex-
pectation, the Allen Car Wheel works
did not start up at Pullman. Out of the
fifty men expected to go to work, only
three reported for duty. Police were
thick in the town, and the white rib
boned strikers were out in force. In
several instances word was brought to
the police that workmen were prisoners
in their own homes. Officers sent to
relieve the men found lines Of strikers
guarding the front and back doors, but
nothing more than orders were required
to dispense them.

IMPORTANT TO LABOR.
The Trial Of Debs, Howard and Other
Leaders Is Considered In
That Light.
TO BE 5TUBB0RlVLY FOUGHT.
The Answer To the Complaint Denies
Almost Everything That Is
There Alleged.

CHICAGO, July 24.-An answer has
been filed by the attorneys for the Off
GERS OF the American Railway union, in
the contempt proceedings in the United
States court, growing out of the alleged
violation of the federal Injunction
against interference with the mails and
interstate commerce. The answer.
which was formulated by Attorneys w.
W. Erwin of St. Paul, and S. S. Greg
Dry OF Chicago, is very lengthy and de-
mes nearly every material allegation of
the complaint, including the sending of
the kilograms in evidence. Among the
matters denied is that any of the mem
bers of the A. R. u. committed anv Of
the acts of violence complained of.
This, as most of the other denials, is
made ''upon information and Belief
What the Defense Proposes.
Ihe defense proposes to carry the case
to the supreme court Of the United
States in the event Of an adverse decis-
ION here, and if defeated there to aapeal
through congress to the people. The
policy OF the defense will be to question
the right and power Of the court to issue
1nJunctions like that obtained by the
railway companies against Debs and his
associates, and then imprison those en-
joined it the injunction be violated. It
Will be contended that what the court
has done amounts to
Usuri,ation Of Power
not given to the federal judiciary bv
either the constitution Or law. The de-
tense will follow closely the lines of the
report Of the Boatner committee Of con-
gress which investigated the Injunction
and contempt proceedings by Judge
Jenkins.
Labor organizations throughout the
country will contribute money to defray
the expenses Of this legal struggle.
The American Federation Of Labor
has given $1,000. Other associations
Will follow, and the contest will be
carried to the bitter end. If the su-
preme court declares the injunction and
contempt method is good law, con-
gress will be asked, local leaders say, to
change the statutes and curb the powers
OF the courts, and every candidate for
congress will be asked to pledge himself
for such reform.
