AS silently as falling snow. the gown
has spread itself over American life.
1T has made it's way into every branch
of intellectual activity. These sem
fences may appear meaningless to the
average man and woman. That only
demonstrates the unObtrusive nature
of a now all-pervading phenomenon.
On the bench. in the forum, on the
campus. in the pulpit. the gown is ev-
erywhere. The judges of the courts in
Philadelphia now all wear gowns and
IL Is proposed to put the lawyers OF
that nest of great lawyers in the same
dignified garb. The supreme court or
the United States. the court OF appeals
of New York and the supreme court OF
Pennsylvania are always seen in silken
gowns. The practice Is spreading. Ev-
cry great college commencement Is
noteworthy because of the ubiquitous
gown. Even the Presbyterian pulpit
is not unadorned with 1t. Quite fash
ion has come into being on the heels
of the new custom. Quite an industry
thrives upon 1t.
There is no denying that there are
various good reasons for the reign OF
the gown. Nothing Is so difficult to
deal with, as all sculptors agree, as
the modern attire OF cizilized man.

their gowns as an outward mark OF

It Was Revengefui Creature and Broke
Up a Marriage Engagement.
From the Buffalo Courier.
One Of the brightest and most att
tractive young women in the town Is
the owner of an unusually precocious
parrot; Incidentally she Thought
great deal of young farmer of the
neighborhood. so much in fact that
they were betrothed. But this young
farmer has always hated parrots, and
that has been the one sore point be-
tween him and his promised wife. He
has especially hated the parrot In
question, and has repeatedly warned
the young lady that the thing was not
so green as tt looked. and that dt would
surely cause trouble between them.
We can easily believe that the bird,
being beloved by his mistress, was al
ways at hand during these little talks,
and 1t Is as easy TO believe that no
well-ordered, intelligent parrot would
put UP long with such slighting re-
marks as the young farmer was in
the habit of making. II memory serves

On that occasion Polly was promptly
punished by his mistress. who snapped
his head with a piece of whalebone
and covered his cage with paper for a
whole day. This was added insule,
but nothing was to be done except
wait patiently for an opportunity to
get even. The opportunity soon
came.
A few nights ago the young farmer
entered the house of his iife's light,
and asked for the flame She was
prinking. but would be down in a
short time. and would Frank try TO
make friends with Polly? So Frank
turned into the room where Polly sat
on his perch munching a cracker and
grooming a jungle dItty. Extracting a
chocolate caramel from his pocket,
Frank moved toward the cage. There
are tides in the affairs OF men and
likewise parrots. and this bright, II
green pet. realized that the flood OF his
tide had come.
"Hellow, young Chayseedr he shout

There was a moment Of intense ST.
lence. Then the cage was struck to
the floor and the room was filled with
feather and hair. A moment later
Polly's mistress entered the room.

From the Washington Star.
Senator Joe Blackburn has been

personal campaigns ever waged in our

at the Arlington the other day, and
the frequency and earnestness with
which he has addressed the voters in
every county reminds me forcibly OF
a story that used 10 be told about him
a good many years ago. 1t happened
during the war. when Joe was wearing
a confederate Uniform. that he was or

General Harrison's example and replace Justice
Jackson with man Of opposite political faith,
but it was thought that he might not be i'm

which since the death of Justice Blatchford has
not been represented on the Supreme Bench.
Indisputably the general welfare Is more likely

any one ii may be said that one OF the regret
table consequences of the controversy between
Senator Hill and the President two years ago

after two nominees from New-iork had been
rejected by the Senate.

taken for granted that he will be confirmed, for
Mr. Hills hostility to his brother does not eX-
tend to him. and there is no reason TO suppose
that any other Senator can have conceived
nreiudicc against him. NewHork would regret
his retirement 10 private life. but will approve
his promotion to a still more important post
