The free silver Bryan and Sewall
meeting here Friday night was one
of the most enthusiastic political
gatherings that ever assembled in
this thriving little town of the
Hooking Valley. The village
people and residents of the sur
rounding ncighborhood came flock
ing in to hear the Hon. o. w. II.
Wright of Logan and Hon. M. A.
Daugherty of Lancaster espoused
the doctrine of the double standard,
and made clear and plain to the
voters of all parties the vital points
at issue on the famous money
question.
The large Odd Fellows hall could
not begin to accommodate the tu-
multuous attendance, and many
were compelled to either discuss
the question among themselves in
groups on the outside, or catch a
word now and then from the speak
ers on the inside, as they fioated
through the doors and windows.
The effect of these eloquent
speakers were especially entertain

expressed it. She was pretty little

an orphan, and there is no question as to
Jim s affection for her.
cat the close of the school year his
mother died. That was the only thing
that seemed to seriously affect Jim. It
broke up his home. His father was q
lawyer, hard, stern and uncompromis-
ing, with no sympathy for the boy. He
lavished all his affection on John, the
Oldest son, who became a telegraph op-
orator.
''Then Lizzie McGregor died, and this
broke Jim up completely and he left the
town. The next heard of him he had be-
come an apprentice to a sign painter
I'm six weeks he could teach the sign
painter, and concluded to start out on
his own account, becoming tramp
painter and going from town to town.
one day, while lying under tree with
his dog, a boy came along who was
tramping it like himself. A happy
thought struck Jim.
''He got the boy to lead him into the
town as a blind sign painter, and as
founded the people with his work.

next appeared as reporter at the Office

career is well known to the public''

soon become SO familiar with Trilby
coats that we will scarcely notice them.
do not marvel after the popularity OF
the book and play that there should be
a Trilby coat. but why it was SO long
coming is what puzzles me.
Perhaps we were just drifting that
way anyhow, for I have noticed many
attempts at epaulets of other kinds. 'One
fancy has been to have slashed berthas
of different materials, notably of stiff
gold or silver embroidery on white cloth,
silk, satin or velvet. When these are
laid over the shoulders, the slashed por-
tions resemble epaulets.
/ saw one gown of bottle green velvet
where there was such bertha done in
gold on old rose satin. The skirt of the
dress was plainly gored. The waist was
snug and was finished at the bottom by
a simple piping. The upper part of the
waist was gathered into yoke, and be-
low this the bertha was set. The sleeves
were balloon pufts, the forearm pieces
being of the old rose satin, while the
upper part was of the velvet. The COM
bination was very rich, and the old rose
showing between the golden threads was
a happy thought on the part Of the de-
signer, for green and yellow make a
very ugly com binat1on, but one that has
had quite vogue this winter.
Very few of the berthas have been
just berthas without suggesting any
thing else, but there was one very
quaint gown with a real genuine bertha
that did not try to be anything else. I
must begin with the waist This was of
Persian brocade as far as the upper part
and sleeves were concerned. The lower
portion was of silver gray corded silk,
made in q point and with a basque
around the bottom, not quite meeting in
front and finished with two silver but
tons on each side. The corsage opened
to show the under part, and the bertha
fell over the bust and shoulders from
an overturned seam. 1t was bordered
with fur and was very effective and
handsome. The skirt was bordered with
fur, and altogether the gown was
worthy of imitation, which we all know
is the surest proof Of our admiration.
The liberty velvets are wonderfully
pretty. They are printed in Persian pat
terms and other odd designs. There are
also many styles of silk with velvet
stripes between the delicate and vapor-
GUS cheney patterns. These materials
are mostly used as trimmings or combi-
nations with the soft new woolens and
silky Zibelines. Velvet is used this sea-
son to a very unusual extent, and whole
gowns and entire suits Of I5 are often
seen, though never common. Velvet
sleeves are used in basques and coats.
and on some of the preUtiest and most
filmy of light evening dresses there are
arrangements of black or very dark vel
vet, which, while they form a very
striking contrast, are still very taking.
Some of the handsoz1est evening
gowns for both young and old have
