A Remarkable Smile.

Mr.. Robert Pollok, a Scottish poet,
while student of theology once de-
livered trial discourse before the Sc
cession Divinity hall, Glasgow, the
subject which was "Sin.H His man
ner of treating it was, in the opinion
of his fellow students, rather bombas-
tic, and at some passages there were
audible symptoms of the amusement
which they derived from Mr.. Pollok's
highfiown phrases. At last there came
one fight of fancy which was so re-
markable that the professor himself
was fairly obliged to give way and
smiled. 1t was when the young
preacher had reached climax in his
enumeration of the dreadful evils
which sin had brought into the world.
'sAnd had it not been for SIM" re-
marked Mr.. Pollok, with great ve-
hemence of manner and tone, had it
not been for sin, the smile of folly had
ne'er been seen upon the brows OF wis

POCKET AND STRAP.

serve to adjust the strap to the car
rage in lieu of the buckles which
fasten the leather straps These straps
are prettily made in linen and are en-
broidered and finished in the same
manner, and serve nicely for sum-
mer use
Another dainty trifle is a gauze
screen for outdoor use This may be
made of a two yards square Of pointe
d'esprit or of wash blonde, as many
people think dots injurious to young
eyes.
A frill of pointe d'esprit lace four
inches deep may be set about the
square. The sewing is to be covered
with a border of braiding with daisy
ribbon run in it. Several rows of braid
ing run with ribbon will give very
dressy effect The four corners may
be finished with tiny bow knots or
rich rosettes. The ribbon used may be
white, blue or pink, according to the
other fittings or the babes complexion.

The LITTLE GENTLEMAN.

What makes the little gentleman
Not station. high or low,
Not manners, nor a sunny smile
On cheeks where roses glow.
Agoodly outside charms the sight;
But tell me. IL you can.
What is it that at once proclaims
The little gentleman
1t surely cannot be the dress,
Nor is it wit or birth;
These never represented yet
The souls undying worth.
Nor is it fair or courtly speech;
Not since the world began
Has this announced to anyone
The little gentleman.
What is il. then, my rosy lad
Politeness. gentle words?
These are as natural to some
As singing is to birds.
But there is something greater far
In Gods eternal plan,
BY which the heart may always know
The little gentleman
Respect and reverence for age;
A truthful loyalty
To mother, father. and TO friends,
No matter what may be;
The hearts ideal fixed on high,
Beyond ali earthly ban:
The courage to do right-these make
The little gentleman!

The Best Detectives and Spies In the Mili-

Why They Are to Be

Especial Letter.

The commanding general of the mil
itary division of the Pacific coast has
recommended that the Indian scouts
and trailers be discharged from the
army, or rather from military service
in the southwest. He states that there
are about $50 of these scouts and trail
ers, and that as there is nc further
need for them the government will
save about $4,000 year and their
quantity of rations.
1t is likely that the war department
will adopt this suggestion.
An army officer states that the ma
jority of these scouts and nearly all

is going on. 1t is sweeping into its
vortex all the mad elements of our
times, and the conceiving brain of it is
hidden away safely; the victimized
world cannot imagine. much less ac-
cept as fact, the prodigious audacity
upon which the whole scheme is built,
and will not accept the consummate
and incredible machinery of which we
are witnesses. Hendricks has captured
q United States gunboat off the bayou
because the commander of the boat
could not get it into his head that a
sufficient force was organized to drop
upon him from both sides of the river.
The government arsenal at Leaven-
worth has been robbed because the
government would not believe that
there was force sufficient to take that
place. There is at this moment large
body of United States troops concen-
trating in Upton county, but the move
has been foreseen and calculated by
Hendricks, and it takes place as if he
were directing it. These men will be
annihilated over our heads and we
shall not hear sound"
"Yes," said Stocking, with more
bitterness than amazement, ''he ispres-
cient and invincible-in your mind"
ION the contrary" replied Calicot,
''he is human, fallible and vulnerable.
1t has cost me many sleepless nights
to find it out, but have found it out,
and with that knowledge 1 will free
you and Miss Franklin if you will fol-
low my directions unquestioningly."
81 am afraid" said Stocking, who
| was regarding him with something
like pity, ''that you have worked your
self into a morbid condition of mind.
If your scheme were reasonable, why
not appeal to my reason instead of my
faith?"
Because" replied Calicot, sit is
reason which is working all this mis-
chief, and faith alone can circumvent
| it. l don't want to argue that with
you now. want your cooperation to
demonstrate it, and, believe me, when
it is demonstrated you will be the first
to acknowledge its truth and efficacy.
One other point-this man Fenning in
tends, with Hendricks assistance. to
! get possession of Miss Franklin. They
are only waiting for favorable oppor-
tunity to send her away. At any mo-
ment she may disappear forever so far
as Won and | are concerned. She IS
