rest of the vast properties. But they
reposed still in their cases within the
iron strong box, in secret place of her
own apartments. And every leW
years, on the evening of some birthday
of the young duke, she opened their re-
ceptacle and saw the great live thlnSs
shining at her, and they seemed TO her
the embodiment and expression OF all
the old and rightful BeauXlieuX splen-
dor.
The poor duchess had no new dresses;
but her faithful Olympic kept her
clothed from the almost boundless re-
sources of her former wardrobe, ac-
cording to the rumor of the modes that
reached them. And she would have
some garment put on, the simmer OF
whose luster was softened by the cob
webs of the ancient lace belonging to
the ladies of BeauXlieuX, and win the
largest of the diamonds around her
throat and on her hair, would SAL GOWN
the grand staircase to the salon, Where
the young duke, and monsieur, MS
tutor, awaited her, as resplendent, as
stately, as beautiful as a goddess. AT
least so it seemed not only to Jean ana
Pierre, who, according to BeaulieuX
request, and on monsieur's advice, had
been admitted to share the young
dukes duties, Pierre's eyes opening as
if the riches of the earth suddenly
blazed upon him, but Jean feeling as II
a queen of heaven were no loVelier or
no more fittingly adorned but to her
son also who felt, in her presence,
scarcely the need of heaven. and to M.
Etienne who never. by so much as
glance, said what he felt.

THE IDEAL FEMALE ARM,

Exprcssivcncss as Well as Beauty, an
Important but Rare Feature.
From the New York World.
II find great difficulty in getting a
model with good arms said a we'll
known sculptor recently. 1T is aston
ishing how few women there are with
arms that conform to the standard. A
perfect arm, measured from the wrist
joint to the armpit, should be twice
the length of the head. The upper part
of the arm should be large, full and
well rounded. There should be a dimple
at the elbow. The forearm must not be
too fiat, not nearly so fiat as a mans,
for instance.
Prom well-molded shoulder the
whole arm should taper in long, grace
ful curves to a well-rounded wrist. 1t
is better to have an arm that harmon
ICES, even If the parts do not conform
to the generally accepted lines. For in
stance, a full. round upper arm which
is Joined to a fiat or thin forearm has
very bad effect. Perhaps it is only a
little worse, however, than a graceful,
well-molded forearm tackled on to a
thin, scrawny upper arm.
correctness OF form is not the only
thing necessary for a good arm. The
owner must possess the power of ex-
preston with her arms. American
women are deficient in this as a rule.
Those nationalities which show the
most expression in their arms are the
Spanish, French and Italians. The
warmest admirer of Sarah Bernhardt
would not claim that she had beauti-
full arms, yet no one can say that the
divine Sarah ever appears ungainly in
consequence. Much more lies in the
faculty of arm expression than is gener-
ally suppOSed"

The dude will no longer despalringly weep
The critical tongues will stop wagging:
The method has just been invented to

And sneer at the inventors elation:

treatment he was receiving as to neglect
to take the remedies prescribed for him,
was one day surprised by seeing his doc

from his regular call, enter the room IN
breathless excitement, and hearing him

created a dangerous precedent. A
poor Polish woman at Liverpool ap-
pealed to the manager to get her little
sister Pearl Landau, over from Pol

was too poor to paythe passage money
sent out one of the company's labels,
with the following inscription written

inundated with letters from poor peo-
pla imploring them to send for their re-
latlons in the same manner.

stumped up. And then It was that the

turned his back to arrange the watch

We are promised no fewer than four
new papers early In the coming year.
One will be on American lines and will
make a dead set at overcoming the
dead level to which the news agencies
have reduced the newspapers here by
going In for a great display of special
articles, which will not necessarily be
of a sensational character "On Amer

many scandals will quickly be brought
to light. Let us hope that the new ven-
ture will be kinder in its criticisms
on England and its people than Ben

by the name of Kitty Lyrrell, but in
reality being Mrs. Harry Ewins, fell
dead at the sidewings after receiving
an enthusiastic call for song and

mortified to find the wife, to whom he
was deeply attached, quite lifeless. The
wretched man was fitted as the clown,

a franchise is secured here, a local
company will be organized. At Shell
byville the system was constructed
for a local company and was pronoun-
ced the best ever seen. We have a
whole line of franchises in Iowa. At
Mason City there was not dissenting
voice, or in any place but one. The
company is young one and has but
little money, and therefore could not
be expected to build so many eXchang-
es with it's own money. The Watson
device is the only one which still has
a patent, and this we avoid by two
wire system. Reasonable changes
could be made in the franchise if de-
sirable.
B. D. Smith then made some re-
marks on the legal aspects of the
case.
Supt. Wainman said the double wire
system has been in use for twelve
years and has twice the disadvantages
of the single wire system.
A lengthy discussion followed on
both sides, becoming finally very tech
nical.
The second reading of the ordinance
was finally taken up after the discuss
ion had lasted one hour and half
A motion by Aid. Andrews that the
council resolve itself into a committee
of the whole to consider the matter of
amendments was lost.
A recess of five minutes was taken
for the ordinance committee to con-
suit, at the request of Aid. Andrews.
The recess TUNED out to be nearly
half an hour long.
On motion OF Aid. Andrews, the Or
dinance was amended to limit the
time of putting in reasonable portion
of the plant to sixty days, and forfeit
ing the franchise if the plant is not
operated for thirty days.
The ordinance then passed it's third
reading, unanimously.
1t was discovered that the enacting
clause had been omitted from the Or
dinance, and a motion by Aid. Lille
to reconsider the last vote was adopt
ed. AS two votes were cast against
this, the mayor at first ruled that the
motion was lost, but subsequently
changed this.
The ordinance was reread and
amended and repassed.
A petition for the removal of a
fence which was obstructing an alley
was received and referred to the
street committee.
A petition to make the legal width
of the sidewalk on the west side of
Second street between Jackson and
Cherry streets twelve feet was re-
ceived and referred to the street com.
mittee.
Hanover street property owners
again petitioned for water main and
said that they stood ready to deposit
the cost in the city treasury. The
water committee reported favorably
and City Attorney Pfau held that it
would be legal.
The board Of public works was in
structed to lay the pipe when the
money had been deposited, and place
a hydrant.
A liquor license was ordered granted

John Koppen as sureties, and to H.
Dreher with John Broxmeier and f
| Harmon as Sureties.
The council then adjourned.
