BETWEEN FOo1BALL AND DJ

bEIU EEN EOO1BALL AND DUTY.
 The people of this region have, tenn porarily at least, lost interest in foot ball, but such calm doesn't prevail all over the land. They are interested enough in it at Evanston, Illinois, where it has raised "a burning ques- tion." A game of football has been ar- ranged for Thanksgiving Day between students of Wisconsin university and students of Northwestern university at Evanston. The time set for it is church time, and the ministers of Evanston have made a public protest against such an invasion upon the time given to church exercises. The young men of Evanston are not. we suppose, natural ly wicked, and they are not naturally discourteous, but they will be obliged to forfeit $70O if they don't play when they agreed to. It now looks as if they intended to play and save their $700. If they do the ministers will have something to preach about They can ask, and ask with force, what S700 amounts to compared with doing right We hope that the situation will not persist as it now seems likely to. Pos sibly the Evanston boys can compro- mise with the Wisconsin boys for $350, and thus save s35O But if they can't do that it is perhaps too much to expect that they will sacrifice $700 to anybody's sense of duty or their own sense of courtesy. Seven hundred dol- lars is seven hundred dollars, since the election left ,,s on a, gold basis.

FASHION NOTES.
Having Several New Points.

Having Several New Points.
 Ladies cloth is as fashionable as ever, and is deemed good enough for elaborating with all sorts of beautiful embroidery. The gown of the day is a happy combination of elaborate detail and of tailor-made effect. It takes a sharp eye to detect radical change of style, but each gown will show some touch to prove it new. Plain skirts are just as fashionable as ever, and yet a trimmed skirt Is newer, and one slash ed everywhere, preferably up the front in difference to the princess theory of a long line effect somewhere, is newer. That makes this picture skirt of the newest, which it is So, too, a show of folds or pleating on the hips Is another sign of the seasons gown, and one of the prettiest effects-always, of course, for the slim woman-is this series Of several deep tucks laid about the hips, edge down. The epaulet finish and the fiat extended pieces over the shoulders that were so much worn last

THE ELEPHANT AND THE POLICE
 MAN

THE ELEPHANT AND THE POLICE
 MAN.
 A most remarkable incident happened in the early hours of Sunday morning to police constable on duty in the High Road, Clapton. It appears that on Saturday night a travelling circus gave a performance on Mount Pleasant Fields, and, as is usual struck the tent soon after the close of the entertain ment. Among the animals was a per forming elephant, and this in the charge of a keeper, was despatched to the next stopping-place. All was quiet as the pair logged along, but when nearing Goulton Road, High Road, Clapton, the keeper noticed that the elephant would walk on the pavement, but he little thought of the trick it was about to play. Standing just around the corner of the road was a police con- stable sheltering from the wind, and quite unconscious of the approach of the elephant, whose tread gave forth no he put his trunk round and just touch ed the constable's arm. Thelatter turned to see what it was, and on seeing the elephant was seized with alarm, and took to his heels along the road, closely pursued by his tormentor The keeper tried to call the animal back, but it was of no avail, for the retreating figure of the constable occupied the sole attention of the elephant, who kept up the pursuit until the officer darted into a garden and closed the iron gates be- hind him. The elephant stood at the other side of the railings, but made no attempt to get at him, and, much to his relief, on the arrival of the keeper, turned and went on its way.-West- rninStar Gazatte

season are worn just as much this year. Little cape affairs just finished, make a high collar and are worn with a perfectly plain bodice to make the same take on an adherence to fash ion that might seem foolishly extrava- gant if it was not adjustable Being adjustable it makes a stylish street rig, till severe weather comes, of gown that without the said cape collar af- fair, is pretty for the afternoon in the house.
 The natural waist is still adding votes to it's record, and though not impera- tive, yet she who can show it had bet ter do so. Don't imagine that you put on your dress right over your under clothes! The natural waist corset is as important for the moulding of the natural waist gown, as is the conven- tional corset for an ordinary gown It is a softly corded affair, the cords go- ing around and around instead of up and down. That's the secret. The bust is allowed to take curve low down, and there is a suppleness of look be- tween the under arm and the hip. To get over the curve of hip and bust without wrinkles, gown intended for natural waist effect is often finished with tucks about the hips and over the bust line, or a zouave jacket is modi. fled to round out the bust line

Andrew Messer wise president of the National Grange, say that the Grange originated in Washington. Thirty years ago O. H. Kelly, a clerk in the Interior department, was sent out off, cially to look into the condition of the Southern farmers and see what means could be taken for their relief. While making his tour MT. Kelly, who had once been farmer himself, conceived the idea of 8 great fraternal order of husbandmen, to be conducted on co-op- erative lines, like the Masons. This or der. he proposed, should bridge over the differences between the farmers of the North and the South, and should teach them that their interests were identical. When he returned to Washington he fold some friends of his idea, and the nucleus of the present organization was then formed by seven men, all of them with agricultural interests.

There is burglar who is sorry that he likes pumpkin pie. His name is Washington and he is now in jail in Pittsburg. He went into the house of a police surgeon, Dr. R. L. Taylor. He roamed about the place, packed lot of silverware into a neat bundle, and was about to depart in safety, when he discovered the pie. He could not re- sist the temptation to take a big bite. Perhaps he would have taken several had not Dr. Taylor awakened just then and rushed to the defence of his prop erty. The burglar fled in haste, leav- ing behind the silver and fine, clear impression of his excellent teeth in the brown paste of the pie. This impress sion the doctor duplicated in plaster of paris, and, as Washington had been seen near the house that night, he was arrested, examined and held for trial, simply because the cast bore silent but convincing testimony against him.

Only few of the life insurance com panies of the country insure women at the same rates as men. A considerably larger number insure women, but charge them an additional $5 per $100o, and still more, even, do not insure wo- men at all. It is the opinion of those qualified to speak that the companies charging the excess rate are not justi- fled in doing so, and that the practice will not long be continued The mor- tality rate experienced among it's wo- men insurers by one we'll known com pany has been about 80 per cent of what was expected, and it has insured several women for the full amount it will issue on any one life, i. e., $50,000.

One of the big New York stores is about to start school on its premises where the cash girls can obtain an hours schooling 8 day and perhaps more. Tn Chicago such a school is maintained in connection with one of the dry goods stores, giving both day and evening instruction to employees of the store, free. Also in Milwaukee, one of the big brewery establishments with 10000 employees maintains a school, H. brary and reading room solely for their benefit. An Interesting fact in connec- tion with the latter establishment is that, despite the protests that such an enterprise would be useless because the advantages would never be utilized, it has really been a success from the start.

Simplified and Improved Har-
vestep and Binder.

Mr.. Charles Hawkinson, local agent
for the celebrated Light Running Plano
harvesting machinery, has just got his
sample machines for the season OF 1896
in position, ready for the inspection OF
the farmer. The binder this year is much
simplified and has many wonderful inn
provements. Wenotice that the cumber-
some, weighty cog wheels have been
done away with and thepower is directly
applied by means OF the Jones lever. The
knotter is also greatly improved, and in
stead OF the old 52-piecestyle, it has only
five simple parts. 1t is claimed this
knotter has been known to tie a hundred
acres without missing a bundle.
This will be a great relief to farmers,
for one OF the most troublesome features
OF the self-binder has always been the
delicate mechanism oil the old style COM
plicated device, which has kept the far
mer on a hot chase for years for expert
help. There are also many other notable
improvements on this lever binder which
are Just now attracting the attention OF
dealers and farmers. But for explana-
ton OF them you should call on Mr..
'Hawklnson, who will gladly exhibit the
machine.
