The Good of Today.


OF better days that mortals sing,
When all were happy as the spring;
When none knew want or discomfort;
No back by selfishness was bent;
When hearts We're pure and heads wers
sound;
When not a grumbler could be found.
If folk were wiser, better then,
Pray tell us where it was and when.
For brighter days let mortals sigh
And hope for fortune by and by
Prosperity to fill the land,
With plenty strewn on every hand.
When all men shall be wise and good,
Bound up in one grand brotherhood
But point out now some Of the men
Who are to be contented then.
IT'S in the future or in the past
Ambitious man must live at last.
He looks behind or hopes before,
Despising all his present store,
Forgets all blessings Of today
And follows fancy far away.
What man has not he magnifles,
And pleasure with possession dies.

LIGHTNING AND RUBBERS,

GOlOshcs May BE Depended Upon ms q
Means of Safety for Tfmid People.
From the New York Press.
The one thing which a woman most
dreads-barring, of course, a mouse and
being out of styles a thunder shower.
Many most estimable women. of character
and force, who can lead great crusades and
revolutionize society, go all to pieces at a
clap of thunder-and a good many men,
too, for that matter.
1t Is not agreeable to be struck by light
ming; nor is it at all necessary. There IS q
sure preventive-as sure as 1t Is simple. in
expensive and always accessible pair of
rubbers. If a woman will simply put on a
pair of rubbers when the lightning begins
to flash and the thunder to roar, and will
stand on the floor so that she touches moth
ing else, she will be as safe as if she were
sealed in glass cage.
Rubber is q non-conductor Of cleo tricity,
and if the lightning has to go through a
sheet of rubber to get at you 1t will leave
you alone and take something else. In
other words, when you have on a pair Of
rubbers, and not in contact with anything,
you are perfectly insulated.
1t might be well to add that a pair of
rubbers to be effective against lightning
must be sound and whole. Do not put on
an old pair with a crack in the toe, because
electricity will get out of a very small hole
when it is cornered, and a pair Of defec tive
rubbers will do you no good.

what VIII and VIII Not Be Worn I'm
-'-..~~ Cooler Weather.
The early fall season will witness a re-
turn to dresses-whose bodices and skirts
will be twin sisters again. Whether this
presages the retirement of the blouse can
scarcely be determined just yet. It is such
a remarkably becoming and comfortable
as well as economical article of attire that
1t will die hard: but shopkeepers and their
strikers WELD a great power, and they are
determined to get rid of it because it actu-
ally prevents the sale Of handsome goods
in quantity to make it pay to manufacture.
When skirts and bodices are made of the
same material both are trimmed to the
limit. When the bodice is a separate thing
1t gets all the trimming, and may be made
of any light, airy stuff. as it is simply used
for foundation upon which to hang lace
and beads and velvet and embroidery, while
the skirt Is as plain as a pipestem.
Lightweight cheviot, tweed the ever
lasting serge and the next best thing to
serge. namely, covert cloth, will be worn
all during the autumn and pretty well into
the winter, unless the season is unusually
severe. While crepon has lost a great deal
of it's popularity, 1t Is principally because
of its "pully' weave, which makes it liable
to FRAGILE out all over and suggesting to its
wearer the necessity for a shave" it has
yet admirers by the million. and will vie
with the heavier materials for midautumn
wear. Velvet is promised again, both as
trimming and for the whole garment.

From the San Francisco Chronicle
Ex-State Senator E. C. VOORHEES, of Suffer
Creek returned, with his family, from a
visit to Alaska yesterday, on the City of
Pueblo.
There is one thing from which the Or
binary tourist cannot be weaned," said he.
He will buy curies wherever he goes.
That is the way in Alaska. We hear a
good deal about the fine carving done by
the native Alaskan. Now, the fact Is the
Alaskan knows mighty little about carv-
ing. The crack carver Of Sitka came down
to San Francisco, I was told, to learn the
art of carving, and now he turns out bar
rels of ingenious contrivances, supposed by
his custom ers to be Indigenous to the soil
of Alaska only. On boat which went to
Juneau a short time before we arrived
there were actually 6.0OO pounds Of Alas
kan curios, manufactured by Americans at
Brockton, Mass.

always. The material is duck or pique for
the hot-weather runs but white flannel
and white serge will take the place of the

In this day Of "specialties" the very
latest fad for a woman is to select some
special color and live up to 1t in every
article of clothing that she buys. A wo-
man who elects to do that can dress eco
nomically and becomingly as well. When
a woman has her slippers and stockings,
fans, gloves and frocks all one color, 1t
isn't half the trouble to arrange a perfect
toilet. A lady let me into the secret Of her
always smart appearance the other day.
She is no longer young, but some way she
keeps herself wonderfully well up as a
young woman. She nearly always wears
black, supplemented with some color, but
the color is very small part of the toilet.
II manage 1t this way" she said. "Of
course you know can't always be buying
clothes. but I get me a full stock Of black
at the beginning of the season, and never
lose an opportunity to get an original idea

boots and slippers. and good black gloves,
a handsome black fan. and quantities of
fine black lace. Fine lace always pays for
The buying. and 1t lasts forever. Then If
I want some color I get 1t as occasion re-
