The late Duke of Hamilton, during
the races at Hamilton some years ago,
invited certain tenant farmers to tho
palace to witness the sports. Among
those who came were some elders Of the
kirk and one who held a similar office
il the Free church. After the races were
over the duke asked the Free church
elder how he had enjoyed himself.
"Grand, your grace, just grand, and
I've won some bits O. bawbees, too, but
dinna let on to onybody, for I'm an

The candidacy of Miss Sylvia P. But
Ter for county superintendent Of
schools, subject to the action of the
democratic primaries, has occasioned
the question as to whether or not a
woman can legally hold such an Office,
II elected. Fred Nymeyer is in receipt
of a letter from j. P. Victory, solicitor
general of the Territory, dated the 3rd,
in which he states that he has investi-
gated the matter, and that under the
Territorial statute, a woman cannot le-
gally hold any county office. He has
written an opinion to this effect, which
he states will be mailed shortly to Dis
trict ATTORNEY Franklin, it being at his
instance the matter was taken up. The
Argus has no doubt but that il elected,
Miss Butler would prove q competent
official, but apparently she is barred by
statutory provisions.

Manufacturers of other SarsapaIillas
sought by every means to obtain a

The taffeta was a crush of pale blue fringed flowers matted together on a cream col ored ground, with a threadwork of pale green stems making the maze of line and color more complicated. The bod ice was turquoise blue mirror velvet with gray lace figures in delicate net work applique. The sleeves were oi the taffeta and over them were several fluted ruff1es of gray chiffon heavily studded with turquoises and each ruff fie edged with row on row of ivory lace The final touch came from each addi- tionof a narrow line of Persian at the throat and down each seam of the skirt The hat worn was black trimmed with gray plumes and flare of ivory thread lace, It was held in place by turquoise pins, As for the girl, but there!

Another Solomon.

There are still judges in the world who are almost as wise as King Solo, mon and veritable Daniels come to judgment" Such an one presides over 9 local court in the Isle of Scio. An ac- ton for damages was brought against local railway company arising out of a serious collision. A man had lost an arm in the affair, and young married woman had been made a widow. For the loss of the arm the judge awarded six thousand piasteres, and only two thousand for the loss of the husband. At this there were loud murmurs
 whereupon the judge justified himself in the following terms: My dear peo- pie, my verdict must remain, for you will see it is just one. Poor Nikola has lost his arm, and nothing on earth can restore that priceless limb. But you turning to the woman, you are still young and pretty. You have now some money; you will easily find anoth- CT husband who possibly may be as good, perhaps better, than your dead lord" The people cheered and con- graduated each other on having such a. judge.-Household Words.

------''--' ---------------'-- 4 GOOD R.IpILE-GnI-

IA good battle-cry is a very important paign. If such a cry embodies in a few words the policy and the aims of a party it has powerful influence and does more to impress the voters than long-winded speeches or long-printed newspaper articles. "Patriotism, Pro- lection and Prosperity" which bids fair to be the battle-cry of the Republican party this year, is a good example of what battle cry ought to be. The policy and the aims of the Republican party could hardly be better stated than they are in these three words, and they should be kept before the voters from now until the victory of the Republican party next fall gives assurance that its policy and it's aims are to displace the impolicy and the lack Of aims which characterize the effete and the ram shackle Democracy.
 This battle-cry of the Republicans is not new, although it seems to have new force and fitness. It was used in the last presidential campaign by Senator Platt of this State in his speech at Wallingford, and though we do not know of it's use previous to that time there may be as many discoverers of it as there are of the x rays. But who- ever discovered it or first used it it is all right, and should be as heartily and per- sistently shouted as were the battle cries of the old crusaders.

REFORM AT YALE.

We read with pleasure that it has been decided that hereafter Yale ath- letes will run through the streets of New Haven properly and decently clothed as to their marvellous legs. This reform has been great deal slower in coming than the legs have been in go- encouraging sign that some things can be done as well as others. It has long been needed, and the new bloomers and the concealing socks will be looked on with approval by all men and by all women, except perhaps a few who have been able to see as much of manly beau- ty in those poorly clothed and shame fully exposed legs as men see of wo- manly beauty in the neatly clothed and |little-exposed steppers and hoppers of the lovely women who race about the sidewalks of New Haven in search of bargains.
 
 ful and decent clothing of the athletic legs of Yale is even more significant than it may at first sight appear to be? Does it mark the beginning of an era in the life at Yale which is to be dis tinguished not only for proper clothing of the Yale body, but also for the cloth- ing of the Yale spirit in the beauty of holiness? We hope 50. Yale has even more need of the garments of righteous ness than of the garments of cloth may put them on is the earnest prayer of many, who, while rejoicing that the to an end, would rejoice more heartily if they should see her spirit less inde- gently exposed.
 The other day a stranger in this town saw the splendid Phelps memorial arch which gloriffes the campus He asked the friend who. was with him what it was. The friend replied that it was the gateway to the American Athletic asso- citation. How much better it would have been if that friend could have truthfully and soberly said that it was the gate way to the American Association for the Spread of Sound Learning and True Christianity.

Queen Louisa and the Ko'e'

[Prof. Sloane in the February Centuryo
 Before parting, Napoleon spent few moments at her side, and at the end turning, pulled from bunch a beautt- ful rose, which he offered with gestures of gallantry and homage. Hesitatins a moment, the queen at last put out her hand, and said as she accepted 1t; At least, with Madgeburg, Madame, came the frigid reply, Tit is mine to give, and yous to accept" But he gave his arm to conduct her to the car riage, and as they descended the stair together the disappointed guest said, in a sentimental and emotional voice, "ls it possible that, having had the happi- ness to see so near the man of the cen tury and of all history, he will not af- ford me the possibility and the satisfac- tion of being able to assure him that he has put me under obligations for life? With solemn tones Napoleon replied; Madame, I am to be pitied; it is a fault of my unlucky star" Queen Lou isa's own lady in waiting related that her sovereign's bitterness overcame her at the last, and as she stepped into the carriage she said: "Sire, you have cru ely deceived me-"
