SONG BY HARRY ELLIOTT
READ AT THE MEETING
OF BLACK RANGE


PIONEERS.
Let every old prospector swing on
to his hammer,
Court Dame Fortune till he WIN
her or d----n her;
Press lightly tho breast Of old
Mother Earth
She is sure of yonr bones as she is
of your birth. -
Cut your fuse long, the best three
ply,
Never snuff your blast till just as
you die;
Line your life with either gold,
silver or lead
Remem ber tho best 10, when you
are dead.
The lwood, the water and the
grass,
Are as false and as heeting as our
youth and a lass
But the pork and beans and the
old dirty hovei,
Are as sure and as steadfast az
death and the devil.
With a one-eyed mule and a
treacherous pack,
A slippery mountain and a narrow
track -
Then Iof all the hltches, tho dia.
mond and the rett,
We always thought the square was
the best.
With a black coffee pot and a
bright burning fire;
A we'll filed pipe and a great roar
ing liar.
A silver Of bacon, with streak OF
lean and fat,
An old fpack of cards, and we all
stood pat.
Hope, and youth, and life filled
each hour
We yield them now 10 an Omnl'
potent power;
Time gathering and going, with
our glosies and thrift
Has buried them IN tunnel, II
shaft and in drift.
In every dump there is hrst-clasi
ore,
And oft 'tis assorted, ore and ore
So in our memories these things
shall be riven,
Just 10 show them when we are IN
Heaven.

BROWN VELVET GOWNS.
Tswny. Haired Women No Longer Hol
Absolute Possession

Absolute PossossiOns
Brown velvet dresses are in great
favor this season. They are worn by
elderly and young women, and by bru-
nettes with high color as well as by
blondes, and are especially becoming
to the latter, as they form an effective
background for their delicate tints.
One is of seal-brown velvet, trimmed
with bands of sable fur of entirely diff
ferent shades of brown, yet harmon
izing perfectly The corsage is made
of cream white satin, covered smooth
ly with creamy guipure lace, and the
high collar is of an insertion of this
lace draped over satin and fastened in
the back with satin chou. The cor
selet is of perforated velvet, showing
the satin and lace through eyelets that
are embroidered around with fine jet
beads. This corselet is pointed high
on the bust, while the back is cut
straight across, giving the effect Of a
lace yoke edged by bands of fur. A
touch of black is added in belt OF
black satin, tied in front. in large
Lavalliere bow. The large sleeves are
of plain velvet. The skirt is very sim
ply fashioned and bordercd with fur.
The model would be effective made
up in green velvet with mink bands,
or in dark fuchsia red with chinchilla
trimmings. Black velvet gowns made
by this design are bordered with any
OF the popular fox furA gray, silver,
brown or black. s5..t
Fur borders have long been used on
evening dresses, but q dinner gown re.
Gently noticed shows q new way OF
using fur on full-dress toilets. The
gown is of pearl gray satin, and the
fur is Russian sable of dark brown
shades. A low corsage in blouse form
is ornamented in front with q broad,
fat plait of sable fur, terminated AT
top and bottom with bow of satin.
On each side of the fur band are droop
ing clusters Of Parma violets, making
charming combination of colors-
pearl gray, brown and violet. The
puffed satin sleeves arc laid In large
plaits, the outer side holding an en-
broidered band of irrisdescent beads
while the remainder is powdered with
spangles. Points of sable are mounted
as epaulettes upon the sleeves, and are
very becoming next the white bare
neck. A train of unusual length IL
added to the skirt, and sable border
surrounds it, while cascades of violets
trim the sides with graceful effect

A Short Session of Some Saccharine So

"Let's tell the stupidest thing we
ever did in our lives" suggested So
ciety girl, one of group slipping
chocolate in confectionery store.
"Put it in the present tense" said
the girl with the side combs in her
bangs Il regularly light my alcohol
light with the greatest trouble and
when l have coaxed it into a blue
flame, shut drawer Immediately be-
low it, and Whit! out she goes"
"That's nothing" said the girl with
her hair parted in straight line. II
used to make afternoon tea for NOM
mer, but every time l lit the spirit
lamp set fire to the lace draperies in
the alcove and called out the fire de-
partment.
"How awfully SWELL" said the girl
in the picture hat. "Now my forte is
falling down stairs. Inever visit any
where without getting up an excite
ment of that kind. Ijust forget about
my unfortunate habit, and instead OF
clinging to the balustrades tumble
down in heap"
"Girls, your experience isn't a cir.
cumstance to mine," said the blond
bud, holding her spoon in the air. "You
know that dear Persimmons boy-just
home from Europe-lots of money
lisps and wears glasses. Well, didn't
he go home with me the other night
from the Smith function and when he
left me at the door he had my fan in
his pocket and forgot to give it to me. y
"You never asked him for it?"
"Girls, l did. Wasn't it awful?

Women's Gowns.
"Put your money in your pocket" ID
a suggestion women have only obeyed
recently. and that since New York
tailors, through profound and unsel-
fish thought have learned properly to
distribute seven Of these capable, nee.
essary and wholly unobtrusive pouches
at convenient points in the perfect
tailor-made suit. According to lead
ing maker, the requisite arrangement
of seven pockets directs two for skirt,
four for q topcoat, and one for the body
Of the suit, and though the gown may
be built upon the richest silk or satin
foundations, no tailor who consults
the safety of his patronesses' belong
lngs makes his pockets OF the same
material, save one. That is V-shaped
affair, and let into the right hand back
seam of her skirt, just within conven.
lent reach of her right hand. That is
meant to hold q handkerchief only,
fince nowhere else can the square of
linen be deposited that it will not
throw out of shape the perfect lines OF
b well-made gown.
The second pocket of Importance is
located in the skirts front and placed
at the angle and depth of the right
hand pocket in a mans trousers. The
top of this buttons over or not, just as
the Gust omer prefers, and 1t is made
throughout of stout twilled silesia
with double seams. Its special mission
is to hold lizard skin wallet or o lit
tie purse of knitted gold or silver wire,
punches of keys or one of the new
pocket rings women use nowadays, on
which q knife, glove hook, pencil,
bachelor pin cushion and memorandum
book are strung. Through the best OF
silk pockets the sharp points and
weights of these little necessaries
would quickly bore a disastrous hole,
whereas the cotton goods can easily
stand the years hard wear In all
safety.
Pockets number three, fotir, five and
six are located in the top coat. Two
with or without flaps in the outside
fronts of the coats skirts and are lined
with gray velveteen. Women who arc
careful to keep their coats in good
shape rarely use these at all, except
for letters or occasionally to shelter
cold finger tips The gray vclveteen
will not rub off on the most delicate
gloves, and 1t holds the paper safe, as
satin or silk would not. just inside
the lining of the coats skirt on the left
side is inserted a narrow, shallow vel
veteen-lined change pocket with an
elastic flap. Below the bust, and also

When the train for the west was

years old, who had a humble and re-
tigned expression, and sharp-noscd,
Iron -jawed female Of forty-five, who
was evidently her mother. The small
thin woman had bundle and a ticket
