Good Enough For Art, Not For Fashion

1t is generally understood that art and
fashion sometimes differ in their ideals Of
beauty. A poor girl recently found it out
for herself when she tried to exchange u
calling which she did not like for one
which she hoped she might like better.
She posed as model for some OF the
most prominent New York artists, and
they all regarded her form rs remarkably
beautiful. But she did not like the bust
ness and wanted to find something else to
do. The wife of one of the artists who en-
ploycd her sal 4 that she ought to make a
good model for trying on garments in n
shop for the purpose of exhibiting them
to customers. 1t seemed as if this would
be the very occupation for her, and the
artists wife gave her letter of recon-
mendation to one Of the best shops in the
city. In a few days she came back and
said at was no use; they measured me
and said L wouldn't do. was inches
too large in the waist and inches too
small in the bust. New York Tribune.

SPONTANEOUS Combustion.

Spontaneous combustion may be defined
as the ignition of inhammablo substances
without the application of fire or without
obvious cause of increase of temperature.
Occurrences of this sort, formerly c.nsid
cred ms being very mysterious, are now cx-
planned by the well understood liability Of
certain substances to undergo chemical
changes which develop sufficient heat to
set them on fire. One of the great causes
of the spontaneous origin of fires in fac
tories drug stores, etc, is the exposure OF
fixed oils When exposed to light and air,
these oils are disposed to oxidi2e. When
undergoing oXidization, they rapidly alb
sorb oxygen and give off carbonic acid gas
and hydrogen, which soon fires any in.
flammablc substance through which the
oil may be diffuscd.
Fires of this character may be illustrated
by reference to cotton waste and tow,
mixed with oil, used in lubricating ma
chinery, and which, if allowed to accumu-
late in heaps, is us dangerous as II lighted
cigar in powder mill. The larger the
heap of such rubbish tho greater the dan
ger incurred on account Of the extra liza
bility to accumulate heat Packages of
silks which have been charged" oiled
to increase weight-often cause mysterious
railway, steamship and warehouse fires by
oxidization of the oils with which they
have been saturated Fire in waste heaps
at coal mines is another form of spontane-
GUS combustion, the cause in this case to
be looked for in the oxidation of the iron
and sulphur particles found IN the COAL

at him. His was IL fair, frank, open face
enough, but there was a flash and sparkle
in the blue eyes that spoke Of faithlcssncss
even then.
Forget you'll" he said, with light
laugh. "Have l not sworn myself away
to you for ever and ovcr2 And whore

princess, you know, my pretty one, and
never was the name more fifty given"
Well, it is all very true. She was beau
tiful even then in her uniformed giTlhoOd.
Her glass and the eyes of her admirers had
told her SO score of times, and she had
been pleased ere this to hear her lover
praise that beauty. AS tho last carCss was
given she felt that she would rather have
heard some moro earnest words than the
praises of hor beauty.

the next morning, and Sara Graham,
watching at her window as it passed, WAS
rewarded by ono brief glimpse of the
bright, handsome face that was all the
world to her. How gay and happy he
looked! And yet he was leaving her!
Still, could she blame himY He was
young, ardent ambitious, and the world
was now before him. So she excused him
to herself and to others when the days and
weeks and months rolled themselves slow
ly into years, aud his letters, frequent and
loving ut first, became cool and few and
far between.
She waited, "hoping against hope, and
keeping her trust and faith in him still
in spite of his long silence and his apparent
GOODNESS.
But the years Of absence grew slowly
from one to five, and still he came not In
his place many another would have wUocd
the still lovely belle, but her answer was
to all alike. Heart and hand were pledged
to this "laggarl in love- and might not
be reclaimed, save at his own request.

would be set FREQ from early vows. Sara
released him in few cold and quiet words.
And then for II long time life and love
seemed alike dying within her heart. When
health and strength came back once more,
she married the wcalthicst of her suitors
and removed tn New York.

1t was five years afterward, and when
she was in the very height Of her beauty
and her power, that she met Oliver Clay
ton once more. He had returned from
California wealthy but lonely man, for
his young Spanish bride had died in their
honeymoon, and he had never tried to fill
her place. Perhaps some vague hope of
finding his early love free and unfettered
still had prompted his return. BE this as
it may, he met her for the first time at a
grand ball and had the felicity Of seeing
her followed and lattercd by half the men
in the room and of hearing that her hus-
band loved her to distraction, and that her
home was perfect haven of peace and
comfort.
On that evening he found it impossible
to speak to her, but three nights after they
met at private party, and he found him
self near her at the entrance of the music
room Just us she had consented to sing.
She had heard of his arrival and was
therefore forearmcd. If he had expected
any display of emotion on her part, he
must have been cruelty disappointed.
"Mr Clayton" she said, with look of
well bred surprise and without offering
her hand, sis it possible that you have re-
turncdY How delighted all your friends
must ben'
And she sailed on to the piano without
another word. He fingered to hear her
voice once more. She lifted her eyes and
saw him standing there. And this is what
she sang:
Close TO my dreaming heart
You stood that day.
Tho time Of my life had come
To hear yea or nay.
! looked into your face,
But you turned it away,
And if ever hope had lit my heart
1t died out that day.
And then she rose from the piano, listen
ing laughingly to the praises of her friends
as she drew ON her gloves. She left the
room leaning on the arm of the British
ambassador.
And as she pa u d by where Clayton was
still standing he heard her say, in answer
to some low remark from her escort:
"Oh, my lord, might have sung that
song with proper feeling once! But that
was many years ago. Time works won
ders, as you know and if give the right
expression to the words now it is but
trick of successful actress Give me credit

their months visit with their parents
in Holt county this morning and re-
port a pleasant time. Mr.. Wheeler
says the authorities are leaving no stone
unturned to bring the murderers of
Barret Scott to justice. The attorney
general of the state was there yester-
day and assisted in examining some
twenty farmers in regard to the matter.
George Mullihan, Nose Elliot, Mert
Roy and Fred Harris are held in close
custody and others who are implicated
are being closely shadowed. 1t is en-
pected that Roy will turn states evil
dence and tell the whole story of the
crime. There is much excitement, but
no boisterous conduct and no danger
of lynching bee. The shooting done
Tuesday was in a bar room brawl and
had no connection with the Scott case.

Mr.. Bradley expects to commence the

The contract has been let to G. L.
Tubbs of Edgemont and work will be
started OH Monday. The building will
be erected on the foundation prepared
for the wooden mill at that place and
the wooden mill is to be erected over

building boom this summer that will
bring it right to the front as pro-
gressive little city.

A Sad Experience.

Mrs. j. G. Dickover is passing
through an experience now that is
enough to try the soul of anyone. She
received word by telegram recently
announcing that her father in Illinois
had died of small poX and her mother
is held in quarantine at her home in
the country SO that she cannot even
get letter from her. She cannot go
to her mother, and all the word she
can get was letter written by neigh
bor in which she learns that stranger
came to her fathers house soliciting
aid for the starving in Nebraska and
as he was sick, was allowed to stay
over night. At first it was thought he
had pneumonia, but it turned out to
be smallpox. The stranger died and
left the dread disease in the home Of
his sbenefactors. Mrs. Dickover's father
took it and died and she has the
greatest fears that it will take her
mother off also. The STAR offers its
heartfelt coincidence in this most try
ing hour of affliction.

er who is SO we'll known in this city,
will be sorry to learn that she is in bad
health with lung trouble and has goneto
Florida to recuperate. The family is
afflicted with consumption and her
friends have grave fears in her behalf.
Miss Bower spent a year or more in
this city and endeared herself to all by
her cheerful sunny disposition and
bright lady like manners. Her play
ing of the cornet, swinging of Indian
clubs and whistling for every occa-
sion was enough to draw a
crowd. The STAR sincerely hopes she
may return in a short time completely

The Guilty s,,rk.

The Miner office has received Il COPY
of the Guilty Sark Mining company, of
Hot Springs and Mystic. containing the
expert report of Titus Corkhill on the
property. From this report and from
actual tests made in carload lots, they
cipher out rose colored view of the
situation. Taking a daily output of
thirty tons as a basis they estimate the
total average cost of mining and mill
ing per day at s75. The estimated value
of ore is S15 per ton or $3.50 per day;
deducting expenses this gives a net
profit of 1915 per day. Such agreeable
results of ciphering must produce
pleasant sensations in the minds of
the owners. AS these figures are based
on actual work done and actual returns
from carload lots of ore they tell no
fairy tale, but onlyprove that by careful
systematic management the Guilty
Sark will pay large dividends. One
very favorable symptom of good man.
agement of this mine is the fact that
attention has been exclusively given to
development of the ore; leaving the
building of mill until such time as
the quality of the ore, and the quantity
in sight would justify the expense.
The fact that it has been determined to
build stamp mill with concentrators
capable of treating thirty tons per day
is evidence that preliminary work is
over and henceforth it will be business.
The ore, which is in large body, is
pyritic, carrying free gold.-Tip Miner.
