that he was smart enough to find that
leak, but it wasn't long before he began
to think maybe he wasn't such sue
cess as he might be. She leaked just
the same regular amount all the time.
One Sunday he made up his mind he
would find that hole if he never came
back. He took her out and, after she
had shown that she was In good Leak
ing form, he beached her. After the
tide went down he went all around her,
listening as a doctor listens for lung
trouble. He heard sucking noise
about her keel. He got down on the
under side and in the timber of the
keel was worm hole in the wood. 1t
had been there when the beam was
shaped. 1t probably wound around
like a letter and to look for it on the
inside would be something like hunt
ing needle in haystack. He stuck
match in the hole to see how big it
was. It just fitted. The match broke
OFF and he let it go at that. She has

Persian coloring of gorgeous hues

seen in new taffetas for autumn. In
deed, there are many novel suggestions
for taffeta. 1t is to take on a sheen
and softness not hitherto seen in it,
which will recall the famous Venetian
silks of old times. The blending Of
two colors only is to be superseded by
three or four colors shot together in
chameleon fashion, then dotted with
satin or striped or plaided with still
another color. The Louis XVI. stripes
of flowers of natural hues viii be very
attractive brocaded on taffeta grounds
of light pink, mauve, yellowish green,
or gray, closely dotted or striped with
black in exceedingly small specks and
lines. Most elegant of all is the velvet
figured taffeta for Louis XVI. coats
that are to form part of the most ele-
CANT gowns of next winter. In these
the background of taffeta is illumi-
mated in colors like those of stair ed
glass windows, and sometimes MORE
effect is added Then over the whole
is a design of velvet of close pile, ris-
ing from the surface in curves and
ara besques in coloring of great beauty.
That it may not be too gorgeous the
figures are darker usually than the
notified background Bazar

Young Lady In . Fashionable school Was

In q fashionable uptown boarding

The visitors sat in the parlor while
Miss Rapid gave the finishing touches

of the school entered the parlor. She
asked for the visitors names and got
them. "And you are not related to
this young lady?" she inquired of the
youth. mo, ma'am," said he; "just q

principal, "only relatives may visit our
pupils, 80 must ask you to let me en-

have had their visit" This was the
situation when Miss Rapid came down
into the parlor. She bore herself
bravely. but all through the air of the
big brownstone house there was an
undertone of strange, choking, inde-
scribable noise. 1t was the suppressed
giggling of the other girls.

OFFERED HER BABE IN SACRIFICE
Cruel Act of Mother Who Feared an
Angry Deity.

Allentown. Pa, Nov. 14-Crazed by
religion, Mrs. Elias Glider last night
sacrificed the life of her babe to appease
the wrath of a supposed angry Deity
The child was suffocated. its little body
had been badly beaten and the tiny
ankles were hacked with a butcher
knife The mother is now in a hos

been constantly growing worse. On
September II. her 6-year-old son.

Behigh Valley railroad while picking up
coal. Since then Mrs. Gildner has been
much worse. She seems. Judging from
her remarks. to be crazy on religious
subjects. The S-weeks-old infant was
one Of a family of nine children, ap-
pareEtly q great favorite in the family
circle and among the neighbors Last
evening. the child was slightly i'll and
the father gave him does of medicine
and then started out 10 his work in
foundry. where he is engaged on the
night shift
On his way home this morning one Of
his daughters came running down the
street TO meet him. and with tears
streaming down her cheek she said:
Papa, baby is dead
Gildner could hardly believe the news.
but FASTENED home In the kitchen he
found the baby dead in the cradle. ap-
paren0y in the same position as ne had
left it. but with the face discolored and
the features distorted. Over the cradle
stood the insane mother gloating over
her deed, which she said was done TO
please God. Turning 10 his wife. Gid
reT said; Mary, why did You do this?'
But the only answer he received was:
THE child Is dead. and God has taken
It away" Gildner tried 70 press his
wife for a further explanation Of the
horrible deed, but she refused 70 ans
Uver. and shortly after left the house
and walked hurriedly up the street She
returned a short time later. and more
than once gave expression 70 her salts
factson over her deed. The body was
stiu warm and the little ones death had
only occurred a short time before.
When Coroner Yost arrived he made
an examination Of the child's injuries.
ard found that Il had been suffocatei by
holding the hand over Its nose and
mouth. This produced the distorted
features and the discoloratioG OF the
face. The abdomen was in a badly con-
fused state. and large clcts OF blood COL
lected under the skin, indicating that
blows had been inflicted with a blunt
instrument. Both ankles had been
hacked with a butcher knife. and blood
flowed freely from the veins. The cor

Telegraph Cable Cut by a Vessel.

The sharp keel OF some fast steamer
recently cut in two the telegraph cable
connecting Philadelphia with Camden.
Since that time kilograms have had to
60 by other and longer ways TO Cam
den and other New Jersey points The
cable, which has just been repaired, is
made up of many dozen wires and is
laid directly over the site of Windmill
island. The vessel which cut the cable
struck shoal where the cable Law and
severed every wire in two, the ends
drifting Up aud down the river with
the tides The hardest part of the
work of repair was TO find the ends
and hold them together until the
splice was made. To do this il was
necessary to anchor a barge in the
river while the work was being done.
The cable is now IN good working

They are telling a story at the ex-
pense of young North Carolina girl.
The girl is charming, but, like great
many other charming people, she is
poor. She never has more than two
evening gowns in d season, and the
ruin of one of them is always very
serious matter to her. She went to q
little dancing party last week, and she
wore brand new white frock. Dur.
ing the evening great, big, red-faced,
pcrspiritig man came Up and asked her
to dance. He wore no gloves. She
looked at his well-meaning but moist
hands despairingly, and thought OF
the immaculate back of her waist. She
hesitated bit, and then she said, with
a winning smile:
"Of course, Tll dance with you, but
if you dent mind, won't you please use
your handkerchief ?"
The man looked at her b1ank1y mo-
ment or two. Then light broke over
his face.
why, certainly" he said.
And he pulled out his handkerchief
and blew his nose.-Life's Calendar.

Reasons For DiA,,sseritlng.

It has been remarked that the disin
heriting of relations is mostly for
venia1 offenses and not for base ac-
tions. The last Irish Lord Fitzwillianl
left his property to Lord Onslow; but
one morning at breakfast the intended
heir, after helping himself to cream,
caught the last drop upon the rim Of
his cup, which was thus brought into
contact with the edge of the cream
jug. Lord Fitzwilliam contended that
this was an ill-bred action. and, as the
offender persisted in ridiculing the
objection, his name was forthwith
erased from the will. Isaac Casaubon
