oneself learn to get about, but the so
cents admission entities woman to the
use of a pair of skates ard the strong
arm of an instructor.
It is an excellent plan to prepare for
the first lesson by getting into regulation
skating shoes, or at any rate into pair
that have common sense heels, rather
rounded toes, and that can be laced tight
over instep and ankles. The high bicy
cling boots are very good for this pur-
pose, but if there are any suspicious of
a weak ankle the skating shoes, that
lace almost down to the toe tip, are
sensible precaution. They cost a few
dollars only and last a great many
years. Whatever shoes are used, they
must be laced so close as to be impossi-
BILE for ordinary walking, and if there is
an ankle known to be untrustworthy a
steel bar support, strapping up the back
of the leg from heel to shoe top, will
save no end of painful wrenches and
many sad accident. An ankle long,
straight, plain skirt is the only sugges-
ton of uniform the exercise demands,
and here again part of ones wheeling
suit may be pressed into extra service.
AS to skates, any of the simple steel
clamp pattern, with blade of medium
width, will answer all ordinary require
ments. From So to So is the price of q
good pair that will last the average
skater lifetime.
The foregoing information from the
New York Sun contains suggestions of
value to country readers who depend
upon King Frost for their skating Kinks.
The illustrated description of a French
skating costume will also be of interest.
The costume in question is of seal brown
cloth, trimmed with beaver and an ap-
plique of scarlet cloth on skirt and yoke.

Fashion Echoes.

Lace is again very lavishly employed
in the enrichment of gowns, bonnets and
wraps.
There is a tendency toward the un-
comfortable long shoulder seam.
Ostrich feathers and flowers are used
in the decoration of evening gowns.
One of the seasons fineries is the
sleeveless bodice.
A marked feature of the modes is the
abundance of trimming about the neck.
The very latest street skirts are cut
Chort enough to clear the ground
Present modes are rich and varied,
with brilliant. combinations of colors
and elaborate trimmings
The new tailor gowns have very short
coats. but there is very little change IN

Their Jobs Are Gone.

The two prize fighters stood leaning
against the bar, conversing in low, below
the belt tones. Their respective managers
were outside, doing the same thing, and it
was plain that trouble was either brewing
or else bad luck had fallen to the lot of the
noblo flesh beaters. At last the champion
heavy lightweight sighed and murmured,
"Dey amt no use talkin about it, Chin
my, our jobs is gone.''
The other man nodded his head slowly
and Inuttered: S'Im afraid youse right,
John. We don't seem to be in it any
more

pause, during which the other men in the
saloon had stopped talking to listen.

Tell Baby the Truth.

Baby has a right to the truth from its
mother. Why should it be told that
sweet thing is nasty or a nauseous thing
nice? It speedily finds out to the con-
trary. And why should a mother threat
en- things that she neither can nor will
perform? Why should an apocryphal
black man be summoned to carry a
naughty baby away, or why need the
mother who is going out for an after
noon assure him that she will soon be
back? Children are not easily deceived,
and they remember previous occasions
far more readily than we imagine.

paper. His political career has been most
successful. After serving for five terms
in congress he declined denomination,
and for the next eight years he practiced
law in the national capital He then
went back to his old home in Carrollton,
Miss, and has since then been twice
sent to represent his district in the
house. He has even time to serve still
another term before he takes his seat in
the senate.
Mr.. Moneys record in congress shows
that as chairman of the postoffice com
mittee he was a hard and energetic
worker. In the four years during which
he served in that capacity he was re-
sponsible for many reforms in the postal
system. He vas influential in reducing
the letter and paper rates and in secur-
ing for each courthouse town daily
mail. He is an eloquent and forceful de
batter, and some of his speeches in behal
of free silver were regarded as among
the best delivered on that side of the
question from the floor Of the house.

THE Wichita Eagle publishes some
figures bearing on the grain-rate ques-
ton which throw much light on the mat
ter and show to just what extent the
Kansas farmer is affected. Following
are the figures:
From Wichita to Galveston, 705 miles
the tariff rate is 80 cents per 100 pounds
or 1892 cents per bushel.
From Wichita via Kansas City to
Galveston, 978 miles, the rate is 81 cents
per 100 pounds, or 1912 per bushel, the
railroads out of Kansas City absorbing
the ~ cents per bushel charged for To-
cal haul from central Kansas to Kansas
City, under term they call re- billing.
Cost of-shipping a car of 500 bushels
of corn from central Kansas to New
York city, 1850 miles, allowing 1 cent
per bushel for elevator charges and
profits in Kansas City, 500.
Cost of shipping a car of 500 bushels
of corn from central Kansas to Baltimore,
1850 miles, allowing / cent per bushel
for elevator charges and profits in Kan
sas City, $50.
Cost of shipping a car of corn. 500
bushels, from central Kansas to Calves
ton. 705 miles, $50. 60.
Cost of shipping car of 500 bushels of
corn from central Kansas to Galveston
via Kansas City, 97s miles. 5000.
difference OF 50 per car less via
Kansas City and an additional mileage
of 273 miles.
The present tariff rates from Kansas
City TO Galveston via Arkansas City is 81
cents per 100 pounds while the tariff in
effect on corn to Galveston from Arkan-
sas City is 3214 cents per 100 pounds or
cents per 100 pounds more for the
shorter maui than for the longer haul.
Give central Kansas points the same
rate per ton per mile to Galveston as
are now in effect from these same points
to New York and Baltimore, the rate
would be 10 cents per 100 pounds or "a
cent per bushel, which is lees than half
of the present rate.
Figuring the surplus corn of the state
of Kansas at 100 100000 bushels, on this
difference in rates, it would make $14,-
100000 to the producers of the state.
These excessive charges would almost
build a railroad from Nebraska TO the
Gulf in one year.
Here is an opportunity for the inter-
state commerce commission to get action.
One of the principal features of that law
is that which forbids charging more for
a short haul than for long one. The
operation of the interstate commerce
law up to date has not greatly differed
from that of the antitrust law. Both are
wholly disregarded by the combines
