A clever girl who loves children and
mas the soul of an artist has opened a.
new avocation for herself and other
maidens who need money says the New
York Sun. This girl recently saw Q.
beautiful child of four years, sitting in e
carriage with his mother, in front of a,
shop. But, al@J! The boys beauty was
almost concealed by dowdy costume,
costly, but unbecoming. A bright
thought popped into the girls head, and
she said to herself: There's a mother
who does not know how to dress her
child. Why not design costume for
him and send it to her?" She ascer-
tanned who the woman was and went
homo and originated the cutest little
suit that mortal ever dreamed of. This
design she sent to the mother, explain
ing that it would not be sold elsewhere
should she purchase it, The girl had
sense enough to ask good price, as the
woman fancicd both the idea and the
design. Since that first step was taken
the girl has progressed rapidly. Now
she has as regular patrons some of the
wealthiest and most influential women
in New York. When they wish new
clothing for their ohildren, as they do
every few weeks, they drop note to the
young woman, telling her to design a
frock for school, or afternoon, or party
dress. Thcreupon the artist makes an
appointment, goes to see the child,
studies its form and features, makes a
few notes and in day or two submits
her design. She frequently buys the
materials, thus obtaining the commits.

TEXAS PONY PRACTICE.
Its Performance by School Children IN
the Lone Star State.

It6 performance by SoffUoi-CnAkuFeh IN
the Lone Star State.
Dishonest college students are much
addicted to the use of "ponies." But
these "ponies" are translations Of the
classics, which the boys stealthily con-
suit, instead Of getting out their lessons
by hard work. Pony practice by the
school-children of the Southwest is more
literal-a good deal more honorable. A
correspondent of the New York World
says: At Manor, Tex, in that. sparse
ly settled country along the line of the
Houston and Texas Central railway,
came to large wood-colored building
surrounded by caravan of horses.

each hitched to a tree. Every thing

Suddenly the scene changed, The
doors of the building burst open and out,
broke more than fifty school-children.
Schools OUT" they shouted, and car
avan of children scrambled for the,
horses.
In moment the youngsters had
mounted and were riding helter skelter
over the prairie. The Texas mustangs
seemed to scent the froltc and kicked
up their heels as they galloped home
with the school-children. With their
dinner-pails jingling on the ponmaiE of
the saddles and their dresses and
jackets waving in the wind they looked
like mad caravan Of Bedouins.

"Why, he's come six miles," inter-

DON'T HAVE TO STOP.
A Man Who Gets on a Moving Train
by Aid of q Parachute.

A Man Who Gets ON a Moving Train
by Aid of q Parachute.
Henry Woodward, living near Pine
Ridge, Wyo., is engaged in shipping
cattle and hogs to Richford. He trav-
els on the train on the Wyoming q
Pacific railroad that leaves
at 4:3O p. m. The train does not stop
at. Pine Ridge, and runs past that sta
ton at the rate OF thirty miles an
hour. Mr.. Woodward alights safely
from the moving train by means OF n
parachute.
The parachute was made for MIN ID
Chicago and measures six feet In Ill
ameter when open. 10 leave the train:
Mr.. Woodward mounts a brake-Wheel
and climbs to the roof of a car. He
opens the parachute, clings to the rope,
and is gently waited from tile roof ol
the rapidly-moving a to the ground.
Sometimes MIR. Woodward jumps
into the air with his parachute a nttle
too O At other times he is carried
somwhat beyond the point at which
he wishes to alight. The fact remains,
however, that he has never met with
any accident when leaving the train
in this ingenious manner. HIS real
has become a source OF interest ana
wonderment to the passengers on the
4::3O afternoon train out of Rjchford.
The railroad employees ave become
used to this parachute jump, and are
no longer threatened with ervou
iD%rostration when he makes it; but the
train always contains passengers VINO
have heard of his feat, but are scepti-
cal concerning it.

! unsainly style Of Walking.

"How women should walk and how
they do walk" is a subject which is
continually coming up for discussion
and it has been decided recently by a
Partisan journal that French women
deserve the prize for queenly grace Of
carriage. The German woman steps
heavily, most women in other countries
Gravel" "prance." roll or tramp
about" as the case may be, but the
French woman walks in the only cor
rect manner Peasant women in France
who carry burdens on their heads are
special types Of grace in walking and
this exercise, using a book or a pillow,
is especially recommended as a remedy
for an u%ngracefu1 walk.
Some women contend that their spe-
cial gait is natural, like the color Of
their eyes, and cannot be changed, but
that is entirely a misconeeption Of
their own ability to improve their pres
ent appearance. They seem to think
that covering the distance is the n
and only point to be gained by walking.
If they could see themselves as they
appear to others, any effort which
could add a little grace and dignity to
their method Of walking would not be
considered too much trouble. Beauty
of face and figure is often almost en-
tirely lost in an ugly walk.

Sioux Falls. SD. June s-Reports re-
ceived from all parts Of the state show that
Saturdays storm was unprecedented, not
only in the amount Of rainfall but in the
violence and destruction Of the wind. At
Alpena the funnel-shaped clouds developed
in the washington hills and tore their way
nOrtheastward, destroying several farm
buildings and passing on to the small vii
lage of Virgil, where they demolished half
u dozen houses and barns, a grain ware
house and other buildings, knocking the in
habitants about and breaking Irving Da-
ley,s leg. A tornado struck belmont, In
Douglas county, blowing dow u farm
house and several buildings, but injuring no
one. A tornado also passed over the north
ern part of Lake county,. destroying many
farmhOuses AMI barns and devastating the
country over u space Of ten miles by two.
At Wentworth still another threw the town
hall twenty feet of its foundation, while
many buildings were uEroofed.
Another twi;ter destroyed a number OF
barns and small buildings at Alexandria, and
still another tore to pieces a church and
many farm buildings. Near Bridgewater
the rainfall was unprecedented. At Wess-
ington Springs 1t measured 5.35 and at AL
pena 4. No town or section Of state reports
less than 3. All streams and dry runs are
flowing bank full, and the ground r. soaked
several feet In depth. The small grain
chops throughoutthe state are now as
sured. Lightning killed Charles Gray, a
prominent citizen Of White, and struck sew
eral buildings at Flandreau.

DE POUGY ATTEMPTS. SUICIDE
Most Beautiful Woman in Paris

NEW YORK, June "a dispatch to

Pougy, the pseudo actress of Les Fo-
lies Bergeres, and the most beautiful
woman Of Paris and Monte Carlo, has
just made an almost successful at
tempt at suicide with laldanum. She
says she took the poison because Of
her disgust with her wretched mode Of
life. The Paris police say it was be-
cause Of terror in consequence of the
threats Of a gang of black-mailers.

tons of the wager. This gave ME
courage, and with a supreme effort l
began kneeling. Slowly, slowly. my
back turned to the cross. What hap
pened then defies human language to
describe.
There, right in front of me, almost
in reach of my hand, a grinning skull
glared at me with hollow eyes, and,
horror of horrors! it came toward me
with irregular movements. Gathering
all my remaining strength and cling
ing with all my energy to the cross be-
hind me, l tried to draw back, when 1
felt myself violently seized by the hair
by something like a gigantic hand
armed with a million sharp nails. l
uttered a cry of anguish and lost con-
s~ciousness."
"The man with the tuft Of white hair
relighted his cigar and smoked with
more vigor than ever.
"And after that?" we asked.
after that? l no longer remember
what happened. During eight long
years 1 had no knowledge Of anything
that happened. Then l awoke as from
a long dream. l learned of the death
of my mother, who did not long sur
vive the shock which the loss Of my
health and mental faculties was to
her.
Physicians advised my father to
have me travel, and after a long resi-
dence in European countries, where l
was treated by the best medical sci
entists, we returned to America. We
settled in New Orleans, where my
health became by degrees re-estab-
lished, and where I now practice law.
Now, gentlemen, I have ended-I hope
without wearying you too much"
".But the tuft of white hair?" l asked.
with curiosity still unsatisfed.
ooh! I forgot. That is precisely the
spot on my head where I felt the
strange hand Of which I spoke a mo-
ment ago. The hair has ever since
been perfectly white"
"What a singular delusion," ali de
clared.
"Delusion? Not at all, sir. All I
have told you happened exactly as l
have related it. The skull which
moved toward me simply had a frog
beneath 1t. Those claws which seized
me by the hair were nothing more than
the burs of the burdock. The flowers
which we called caps, in u childish
language, have a pretty purple corolia.
And as, thanks to the numberless
sharp points with which they are COW
cred, these flowers or burrs adhere
strongly to one another, the little girls
used often to make crowns and crosses
Of them, which they hung upon the
wooden crosses so numerous in our
Canadian churchyards. That is all
the mystery"
Just then the steamer whistled.
"Sorel!" cried Capt. LIE Bale.

sUsTAINs THE TRUSTEES.
Decision in the Duluth andWinni'
neg Case.

Decision in the Duluth andWinni-
peg Case.
The United States circuit court Of
appeals filed a decision yesterday
in the now somewhat famous Duluth
& Winnipeg Railroad company FORE
obscure suit.
The decision sustains the trustee in
the foreclosure suit in every particular,
and will probably terminate the litiga-
ton in connection with the foreclosure.
The foreclosure suit was begun. as
the record shows, in October, 1894.
In the winter Of 1895, certain stock
holders Of the Duluth & Winnipeg
Railroad company interviewed to de-
fen against the foreclosure suit, and
some two months were spent in the
taking of testimony in connection with
that suit. This was afterwards dis
posed Of and a decree entered direct
ing a foreclosure of the mortgage.
the sale of the property Foley Bros. &
Guthrie filed a bill against the trustee
of the Canadian Pacific railway. Sir
William c. Van Horn and others for
the purpose Of setting aside the decree
and enjoining all further proceedings
in the foreclosure suit. At the same
time the State of Minnesota also be-
gun an actlOn through tHe attorney 6eA-
eral against the same parties to cancel
the mortgage and bonds on the ground
that they were illegal, and also to en-
join any further proceedings in the
foreclosure suit.
The lower court rendered a decision
adverse to the state upon legal grounds
presented by the trustee. The lower
court also decided against Foley Bros.
& Guthrie. The latter appealed to the
cuircuit court of appeals, and that court
has just rendered its decision as above
stated.
Foley Bros. & Guthrie, as well as the
state, allege in their bill hat Sir Will
lam c. Van Horne, the president of the
Canadian Pacific Railroad company,
was acting fraudulently and collusively
with the trustee for the purpose of fore
closing the mortgage. The circuit court
Of appeals completely ~enoxerates Mr..
Van Horne from these charges. stating
in substance that the evidence wholly
fails to sustain the charges.
The afidavits and record are very
long. covering several hundred pages,
and the various cases hav occupied
considerable time Of the circuit court.
