the ODD WAIST CRAZE.


4
Have Ever InduIged In.
1t was certainly benefactor Of the
human racethat Is, the feminine part
| Of it--who first started the fashion Of
separate skirts and waists. In France,
where all economical ideas have a
start, it has been for many years the
custom to make two waists for each
skirt. When the gown was for house
wear one waist was cut high-necked,
the other low. The skirt of dress
almost invariably would outwear the
waist, and thus having two waists was,
from more than one point of view, a
great economy. The separate waist
need not be of any one particular ma
terial. Velvet, satin, cloth, silk, or
any novelty goods, one and all are
made up. The velvet waists are un-
doubtedly the newest, but they are SO
entirely for house wear that the silk
waists and those of all lighter ma
terials are more used with street cos
tunes. Nothing fits under cloth coat
or jacket so well as a silk waist. Hence
their great popularity. These waists
have quite changed in appearance since
the first ones without Innings or bones
were introduced, and are now made as
carefully, fitted and boned with as
much precision as any waist that is
made. The back is now cut to show
any seams is sometimes plated in at
the waist or shirred but always with
plating or shirring sewed fat and.
firm. The front is made in sew
eral ways, and always with
full look from the shoulders
over the bust, and fitted smooth and
tight about the waist. The sleeves are
large and generally the leg of mutton
style. The collar is made with small
band, so that over it can be worn col
lars of any color or material to which
are fastened the lace or chiffon fronts.
more than inside the skirts. They are
cut to give the long-waisted effect, and
are pointed just little back and front,
and finished with band of the mate
rial or with belt and long ends of four
inch width satin ribbon.
The striped black and white waists
are extremely smart They have no
trimming, but are generally worn with
cherry, or royal purple vel
vet collars and belt. These are appro-
pirate with skirts of any material or
color A new sort of silk, that looks as
though it had been shirred in white
stirring, and which comes in beautiful
colorings, is the latest novelty for these
waists. 1t is SO full and crinkled in
itself that the plainest of patterns suits
it best. A white ground with a col
bred stripe is in this material particu-
larly desirable.
The waist proper is tight fitting, and
has two shirred outer pieces in the
back, and in the front has full plas-
iron extending from each shoulder and
falling in blouse at the bottom. The
sleeves are decidedly new and of the
butterfly" effect.-N. Y. World.

man who is now prominent banker
at Frankfort. "When my friend was
a young man he was by no means in
good circumstances, said he, but he
was lifted into wealth by his lisping, a
fault which he tried hard but unsuc.
cessfully to overcome. AT that time
he had small farm, and, as his corn
crop came out we'll, though it was al.
most unstable on account of the over
supplied market and low prices, he
concluded he would purchase two sows
and pigs and fatten them on the corn.
He called the hired man.
John, said he, want you to go
and buy me two thows and pigth.'"
"'Whewr the hired man yelled, do
you really mean it?'
"'Yeth do lisped the friend.
SWELL, John disappeared and my
friend looked for him to return the
next morning. But he did not come.
Another day and finally five days
passed, and the farmer became uneasy

''By that time the poor farmer had
nearly tainted, for gazing in the di-
rection pointed out by John, he saw
whole army of pigs coming down the
road. There were two thousand of
them.
Je-ru-tha-lemr gasped the man.
What on earth
John told him that he had done
just what he was told; had bought two
thousand pigs. He had paid for them
by giving orders on his employer. My
friend was almost paralyzed, but he
saw he had to grin and bear it.
He made contract with neighbor to
fatten the hogs, and in the meantime
Johns orders on him had begun pour
ing in like snow flakes in snowstorm.
They broke the man up. Shortly after
that the Mexican war broke out, and
the government offered fabulous prices
for provisions and stores for the army.
My friends hogs had been fattened up,
and he sold them to the government
and he made four or FIVE times as much
money as he paid for them and got his
start toward wealth "-Louisyill Cou-

CHRISTIAN SOCIALISM.

A good many people are as much
afraid of the word Socialism as If
every syllable of it was piece of
dynamite likely to explode If the
word is pronounced out loud in a
church or political gathering. As a
matter of fact, the word Socialism
to-day is used calmly and intelligent
~ by some of the best men and wo-
men in the world as meaning bet
ter condition of society; more CON-
mon rights and less uncommon
wrongs; more justice and equality
and fraternity. And the word So
cialism as most of the best writers
on economics use it to-day means
all that, and good deal more that
is hoped and prayed for by those
who want to see better world. IL
is either gross ignorance or down
right refusal to distinguish between
words and their meaning to con-
found socialism and anarchy, or
socialism and misrule. They are no
more alike than Christianity is like
paganism. To say that a man is a
socialist and an anarchist" as a
prominent newspaper said in this
state only little while ago, is like
saying that man is a black and
white man. Such ignorant or
loose handling Of words is inexcus
able, especially in any one who
pretends to be informed as to the
real movements Of social progress.
When the word christian" pre-.
cedes Socialism it adds to its already
good meaning. For Christian So.
cialisL. is no more nor less than the
answer to the Lords prayer IN an
attempt to make the kingdom of
God reality in the every day life
of the world. Every man who
prays the Lords prayer intelligent
ly, meaning it and wanting TO live
it, is a Christian Socialist. Christian
Socialism is the Lords pray er work
ed out in the lie of the people as
they live together under civilized
forms of government.-Topeka

Who dwells on the nights of fame;

For those who have missed their
aim.
Songs have no charm of the Shy

Whose only pleasure is gain;
l sing for those whose labor
ls given and in vain.
l sing with fearful cadence
For those who stand in the dark
And know that their last, best ar.
Has sadly missed the mark.
For the hearts that break in silence;
For the children who cry for beard
For their mother, whose face grows
