MAKING RESTITUTION.

"Gentlemen, began the fakir as he ar ranged. about 100 eight ounce bottles on a board placed on the heads of two barrels, "I was in this town just ten years ago to- night. At that time I was selfish, dishon- est and full of deceit. I had with me a preparation of horseradish and potato which sold as catarrh snuff and guaran- teed to cure the most obstinate case or money refunded"
 "And what swindle are you working now?" called a voice.
 "I was prepared to hear that" meekly replied the fakir. 1T deserve all you can say about me- and yet want to tell you that I am here again tonight after the lapse of these years because my conscience upbraids me. I want to right a wrong. l want to prove to you that am trying to live an upright, honest life. You see be- fore you my discovery for the cure of head ache, heartburn and fatulency. It is also warranted to cure indigestion and restore the appetite"
 man.
 "Of course you don't, and if you hadn't interrupted me was going to admit that it wouldn't. No, gentlemen, the contents of these bottles is a fraud on conffding public. The compound is simply water, alcohol t.!ld molasses. It will harm sooneS than benefit. I am here tonight to honest ly admi6 the fact and to make restitution as far as lies in my power. You must let mo do it in my own way, however. Now, then, who has the first bottle for 50 cents? It is a fraud, as have told you, but hope that some one of you will buy bottle and help me to unfold my scheme"
 A man who was doubtless acting as @ "capper'' purchased bottle and was handed $1 bill. Pretty soon a second purchaser pushed his way through the crowd and received the bottle and $2 bill. Then the fakir smiled and said:
 "Now you see how it's done. None of you may be the same parties WI were swindled with my catarrh snuff, but this is my way of casing my conscience and making restitution. An! one more sale, and here arc $3 to the purchaser. As near as can remember I made about $100 on my snuff swindle. I want to give that all back and more too''
 The next purchaser only got a dollar, but the next after him received $5, and as he fell back the fakir said
 Remember, gentlemen, this so called remedy is fraud and utterly worthless. Let nobody buy it for anything else. l could scatter these greenbacks broadcast, but have taken this original way of dis tributing the money. 1 shall now increas. the price from 50 cents to S2 bottle. An, there, my blacksmith You want bot tie, eh? Here it is, and here is $1O bill to go with it. Who takes the next?''
 Everybody wanted the next, and a score of hands waved $2 bills at the fakir. Fol ten minutes he was busy taking in the money and handing over the bottles and handing out dollar bills now and then All of sudden, when his last bottle had been reached and his kerosene torch was extinguished, somebody yelled, "Dog fight!" and five minutes later the crowd was hunting for him in vain up and down the street and in the door ways. He had eased his conscience and made restitution by taking in s190 and distributing $40.

years past it has become the custom to wear it, but only for one S own children. It is worn for six or twelve months, ac- cording to the age of the child which has died.
 With regard to mourning worn by children, it should be white up to 6 years of age. Children above years should be dressed in black, gray, or black and white, but less severely than grownup persons.
 It is the proper thing when attending funerals to wear black, although uncon- nected by relationship with the mourn CTS.
 The foregoing are the latest styles for mourning dresses, according to the Eu- ropean edition of the New York Herald, which illustrates widow s dress, bon net and veil. The bell skirt is trimmed with English crape, cut ill festoons. The body is adjusted in front under two round plaits draped and drawn ill at the waist. They fold back over two plaits of crape. The balloon sleeves are of crape The capote bonnet is also in crape, as is the long veil. A bias fold of white crape appears ill the front of the bonnet.

HE ANSW FRED.

A dozen of us were waiting at railroad station in Georgia. As nobody knew how long we must wait it was only natural that one after another should go to the ticket window and inquire.
 "Dunno!' was the gruff response to each inquirer.
 That was about what was expected, and yet it didn't please. We got together on and while we were talking a man drove up to the depot from the town. Seeing the crowd, he came over and asked what was up. When he had been informed, he replied:
 "I will try my luck with him and see how come out"
 He mado the same inquiry, and the agent looked up and replied:
 "How many more times am I going to tell you I dunno?''
 "Not more than once!'' said the gentle man as he reached for telegraph blank.
 Five minutes later he showed us the dis patch. It was to station agent 30 miles away, and it read, "Leave assistant in charge and come down and take full pos session herel" Tho name at the end of the u1SpaUCn was GIitbG Ol bnO 8eneEaI manager of the road.
 "How much?" he asked as he handed it in to the agent, who was also operator.
 "This goes d. h.. replied the man after reading it over
 He began ticking it off as cool as you please, and when he had finished he rose up, put on his hat and overcoat and came out into the waiting room.
 "Have you any idea when that train will be hereP" quietly asked the man who sent the dispatch.
 "She's just coming around the curve now. All aboard r' replied the agent. And as the train drew up he was the first one to board it, leaving the office to run itself till the other man could come down.
 "Did we come out much ahead on that deals" asked of the manager as we got seated on the train.
 "well, n-o-o, don't think we did, '' he drawled. "I guess I'll send the cheeky cuss back on tho next train and raise his salary S5 monthIn ScoTT LANSING

To Penetrate the Earth's Crust.

The principal novelty at the worlds fair in Paris in 1900, if present ideas are car ried out, will be a descent into the depths of the earth. M. Grousset has submitted a plan for testing the question whether there is central fire beneath the earth's crust. In mines the temperature down to @ certain depth Is the average temperature above ground. Beyond that point the ther- mometer rises k degrees in every 100 feet
 M. Grousset proposes to test this at much greater depth than has yet been reached. If the theory is correct, the boiling point would be eabout 5000 feet below the sur face, and the 668 degrees point, at which nearly all bodies are in state of fusion, would be some 12 miles down. His plan eontemplates 0 central shaft of 5000 feet, with galleries to be illuminated with cleo tricity. The estimated cost is $2, 500, ,O00

 II presume forgot to, dear," she said, with gentle irony.
 "Well, guess not, 7" he retorted.
 "Ah?'' and her smile was not comfort ing. "I thought from your remarks that possibly had.''
 MT. Wigglcton felt that he was not mak- ing unprecedented headway.
 "Come, como, my love, he said, chang ing his base of operations with Napoleonic rapidity, let's don't quarrel over little thing like that"
 "Like what, MT. WiggletonP''
 "Going away for the summer, of course. What did you think referred toP''
 "I didn't think at all. believe you hold to tho opinion that a woman never thinks, and wish above all things not to go contrary to the opinion of my hus- band.''
 This appeared to MT. Wiggleton to be an appropriate time to whistle, and he whistled one of those long, penetrating whistles which curls its taper end into an interrogation point, and which is at the same time extremely annoying to a seusi- tive nature.
 "You needn't whistle that way" said Mrs. Wiggleton, visibly nettled. "Have you any other way to suggest my love?" ventured Mir. Wiggleton, smil- ing most provokingly. Mrs. Wiggleton rose, walked around her chair and sat down again. 'If you have, he continued, nagging her, II am sure shall be only too glad to adopt it, for if there is one thing moro l than another that I am most anxious to do 1t is to please my wife. It is the duty of all good husbands, you know, my love-" And MT. Wiggleton's manner was actually in | solent.
 "I don't see what the duty of good hus bands has to do with your actions MT. | Wiggleton," she fiared at him.
 "Perhaps you would like to borrow my glasses to aid your eyesight, Maria?'' There was a small opening here for Mrs. ! Wiggleton.
 Thanks, mo-" she fairly twitterod in triumph. "They would be of no benaflt whatever. They might suit my grand. mother though, dear" And this time 1 MT. Wiggleton shrunk Q shade, for the ] fact was that he was at least go years older 1 than his wife, and he strenuously opposed 1 any advertising of the fact. I "It isn't necessary to become personal, Is it, in discussing our movements for the summerS" he asked, with some degree oi pathos. Womanlike, Mrs. Wiggleton was sorry for that speech as soon as she Saw It's of feet.

A WOMAN'S TACT.
It Must Be Carefully Used In Getting a
 House Party Together.


 Utmost tact is needed to bring the right kind of people together in a house party. They must either be mutual friends or strangers that are sure of be- ing congenial-not the same kind of people certainly. Every one would be dreadfully bored. But we'll selected com plements will surely bring out the best in every one.
 There is no need of having an equal number of men and women. That smacks too much of intentional pairing off There should be few young peo- pie for gayety, number of bright men and women for spice, and a sympathetic soul, with young blood ill her veins yet, to help the hostess in her wide reaching duties of chaperon.
 Invitations should be sent out five or six weeks ill advance, the length of the stay fixed at a week or at ten days, the day of arrival and departure stated def nitely. With the invitation one sends time table, with the most convenient train for arriving marked.
 The hostess writes ] cordial note to the women, including their husbands, to father and daughter, to brother and sister, as well as to a woman who is to come alone. The ost writes to in- vite the single men. Engraved cards and the third person are never used. Invita- tions to "come on and see us any time, or to ''run down for a few days," are simply kindly ways of expressing friend ship and the pleasure of a visit, would one ever be arranged. If more than this is meant, note giving a definite time will be forthcoming.
 An invitation to house party should be answered within two or three days, as the hostess sends out all her notes at the same time and is of course anxious to fill any gaps before people have made summer plans. If a guest can come for only part of the ten days, she allows the hostess to say she will be glad to have her that short time, or to postpone the visit to week or two later, so that that particular party may not be broken up in the middle.
 It is now not considered slight, how ever. On the contrary, 1t is compli- ment to ask friend to fill gap in Q party or even at dinner table at the eleventh hour. On the other side, it is a charmingly given help at a critical moment, which hostess never forgets. So. then, a guest may come for the first five days and another for the last if so the hostess wills it.
 The invitations include list of the people who are invited and hint at the nature of the party, so that guest may know what clothes to bring, and whether golf or bathing suits or riding habits or all will be in demand. One should not refuse an invitation to 8 house party simply because he feels that he cannot return the hospitality on like extensive scale. A host docs not expect to be paid ill kind. He invites a man because of his brains, his clever tongue or his usefulness. He helps make the party q success, and dinner the next winter settles the affair, as far az duty is concerned. Herald.

TWO BAD MEN.

At Wolf Creek the only passenger who boarded the train came into the smoker. He was logged out with guns and knives and bear claws and other belongings of q real bad man, and of course we were at once interested. The man recognized us as a tender footed lot and proceeded to put on freezing dignity and an air of supe- riority. By and by the young man from Boston, whose mother was in a drawing room car behind, plucked up the courage to inquire:
 "Thir, are you badth man?"
 Bad all the way throughp' growled the new passenger. "You have killed your man, thup- pose?'
 "Yes, 6 dozen of them!''
 "How long have you been a badth man2'
 "Twenty years"
 "Thath's long time to bo badth. Have you a private graveyardth?"
 "No, sir! have never gone to tho trou- ble of buryin my victims!"
 "I thuppose not. You just kill 'em and walk off?''
 "Yes, sir.'
  real badth man," continued the young man as he lighted fresh cigarette. "Have you any objections to my looking at you?" "No, sir.''
 "Thankth-you are very kindth. Thup- pose should touch you with my finger?'' "You can if you want to, but be keerful about it! I am easily aroused"
 "Thankth-you are very kindth wish wath badth, badth man tool"
 "Humph!' growlcd the terror as he sized the little chappie up and turned away.
 "Donth you think could be a badth, badth manp'
 "Of course notl You couldn't skeer a jack rabbit!'
 "I'm tho thorry Mother thays I'm badth.''
 The terror looked him over again and grinned in n contemptuous manner and replied:
 "Yer mar don't know ye, bubby!"
 "Oh, yes, she doth! I'll go and ask her if can't be a badth, badth man. If she says can then will"
 Everybody had to laugh as he got up and disappeared, and we had just started the game afresh, with the terror wanting to take hand in, when the young man returned and said:
 My mother thays 1 can be a badth, badth man if want to, and you throw up your haNdth or I'll blow the top of your head off!''
 And he clapped a silver plated six shoot CT to the terror's head and uttered war whoop. Up went the mans hands, and chappie pulled the two guns from their holsters the knife from the sheath and backed off down the aisle, saying: q wanth to show 'em to mother to prove thath am badth, badth man, and I'll return 'em!"
 Tho train was just running into Big Hill station. Before it had stopped the terror was out on the platform and off, and when we followed him out he was nowhere to be seen. After three minute stop the train started on, and just then the Boston youth returned to the smoker and looked all around and called out:
 "Where ith my badth man!'
 "He's skipped!'' we answered.
 "Why thath too, too badth! I didn' t wanth these weapons, and didn't wanth to hurt him. All wanted was to show him thath wath just as badth as he wath, and thath my mother thays if keep on l will be tho badoth boy over bornth in Bawston!' AUSTIN kEENE.

 "Yes, love-" he smiled. "I know a de- lightful place where you have never yet spent the summer. You shall go there, and what is more I'll be with you if you want me to-"
 She walked around to his chair and kissed him.

 William has been very busy indeed" Mrs. Dumley sweetly answered. Shortly after you left he went over and helped the Mcintyre boys weed their garden, then he ran four errands for Mrs. Williams, and since then he has been assisting the Le- vensaler children pile wood.
