HELPING THE GOVERNOR.
But He Didn't Mind on Account of the
 Experience.

Experience.
 was sitting in a railroad depot in Buffalo waiting for a train when a stranger approached mo and said:
 ''It's kinder queer how hard up the best of us may git sometimes, eh?''
 "HOw do you mean:'' asked.
 "Waal, I jest met the governor of New York out here, Levi P. Morton, and he asked me for the loan of $2."
 "You don't sayr'
 "That's what the matter. Had his pocket picked and wanted to use $2 right away. He didn't know what to do about it till he saw me-
 "You know him, then?"
 "Never set eyes on him afore today. He jest picked me outer the crowd fur 9 man who'd do him favor. He only wanted $2, but I made him take s. He'll send it back ill a day or two. Ever meet tho governor?"
 "I've seen him several times. y
 "Wonder how he got his nose broker" "His nose isn't broken. What sort of man was the chap you lent money to?''
 "Red hair; side whiskers; broken nose and two teeth out ill front. ."
 "Governor Morton is no such looking man. You have been swindled by some sharper"
 'It can't be. He said he was the gov. ernor."
 ''I might say the same thing"
 "And he called me by name"
 "So can l. You are James H. John- son. There is your name on your satchel. Is the man around here, do you think?" We went to the door of the depot and looked around, and we went to the depot officer and he looked around, but the "governor" had vanished, as might have been expected.
 "You ought to have known better p exclaimed the officer after giving up the search.
 "How had orter known better?" de- manded the victim. "Didn t he pick mo out as a man who'd do him favor? Didn't he say he was Governor Morton? Didn't he praise my confidence in hu- man natur' when made him take $3?" "You d better go and soak your head ?" "What fur? What good will soakin my head do?"
 The officer turned away with tired look, and the old man sat down and thought it all over and then said to me "Yes, guess I've bin swindled, and guess I'm to blame fur it. It's a good experience though. I felt so mighty proud about lendin the governor of New York $3 that if feller had come along and said he was president of the United States I'd a-handed him over my other $7 and walked G2 miles to git home!

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN state for the col onies. He was born ill London in 1886, was educated at University college school and became member of a firm of Birmingham wood screw makers. He made and inherited great deal of mon- ey, and when he retired from business in 1874 his income was said to be fully $150, 900 a year. His Radical views and his marked talent as a public speaker speedily gave him great local reputa- tion, and after occupying various offices in Birmingham he was thrice elected mayor, in 1874, 1875 and 1876.
 In the last named year he entered parliament, where he soon won recogni- tion as one of the most yirile politicians in English public life. When Gladstone became premier, in 1880, Chamberlain was nominated president of the board of trade, with seat in the cabinet, and prepared and passed the bankruptcy act now in force. So great was his prestige that he was generally considered the most available man to succeed Gladstone as premier.
 He was president of the local govern ment board in Gladstone's cabinet of 1886, but when the premier home rule policy was outlined Chamberlain, who is pronounced Unionist, resigned be- cause he could not agree with his chiefs attitude toward Ireland. He at once withdrew from the Liberal party, has since trained with the conservatives and made the motion that brought the down fall of the Rosebery ministry. In Au- gust, 1887, he was appointed commis sioner for England to settle the fisheries dispute with the United States, and while in Washington met Miss Mary Endicott, daughter of Hon. William c. Endicott, President Cleveland's first secretary of war, and she became the English statesman's third wife in No vember, 1888.
 Quite naturally MT Chamberlain is not great favorite in Ireland, but the English working classes idolize him be- cause of his advocacy of the old age pen sion act and various socialistic ideas that he is endeavoring to chrystalli2e into laws. Mr. Chamberlain has two grown up children, one of whom is said to be older than his present wife,

Besides the batiste gowns and separate waists there are no end of minor accessories of dress made of this transparent material, tucked and lace trimmed, which givea dainty touch to gown, yet are inexpensive. Chem isettes, turnover collars, cuffs, tiny points and squares are displayed in all the shops, and wide collars of batiste and lace are so generally used for the decoration of summer gowns that they have become familiar feature of fash ion.
 An economical way to have variety in the thin waists which require lining is to have one well fitted silk underbodice which can do duty for them all Aside from batiste there ara three other fab rics which have been exalted to 0 high place on the list of fashionable materials for thin gowns, and these are swiss, organdie and india null, which, made ap over colored taffeta silks, form very elegant gowns

 prominent members settled ill Washing. ton county. The present Democratic gubernatorial candidate was born ill Adair county June 5; 1841, was educat- ed in the local schools, studied law in the office of his father and was admit ted to the bar the year the war closed. Locating in Harrodsburg, he built up 0 successful law practice and became such popular and powerful politician that in 1881 he was elected attorney general of the state on the Democratic ticket.
 In accordance with an old and we'll known Kentucky custom, he has been called General Hardin ever since. His regime was so popular that he was twice reelected, with little opposition, and for 12 years officiated as attorney gen eral Four years ago he developed for midable strength as a candidate for the gubernatorial nomination, but ill three cornered fight between himself, John Young Brown and Cassius M. Clay, Jr. Brown was declared victor by the Demo- cratic hosts.
 Candidate Hardin is man of fine presence, and his simplicity in dress and his marked democracy of manner have been elements that have materially con- tributed toward forming his popularity. Every man in Kentucky calls him Wat Hardin, and he brides himself on being man of the people. He is an excellent political manager, and it is alleged that as an orator he has few equals and no superiors in the Bourbon State. He knows the value of hearty hand shake as we'll as any politician on earth, and his stalwart arm can give pump han de substantial handicap and yet win every time when it comes to a matter of endurance. He has plenty of "honest" and "sound" money and can well afford to gratify his love for the great game of politics
