B1oomcrs of Brocadcd Satin.

Perhaps the most unique novelty is
the dainty lacc-trimmcd boomers OF
brocaded satin. They are designed to
take the place of the short llanncl petit
coat so dcar to the heart OF tiie old-faSll-
Toned woman. These boomers are lined
throughout with canton lannel To give
the necessary warmth, and really pro-

combe county, N. G.. He had g. very in
teresting family and was devoted to It and
1t to him. He realized large income
from the products Of his pen and accumu-
lated considerable fortune. He was
business man and realized the value of
life insurance as means Of protecting the
widows and orphans, and carried large
sum on his life, S5 900 Of which was in the
Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association.
His policy was No. 6,289. We delivered
No. 303, ,64 on last Thursday to gentle

statement to show the reader how rapidly
the Association has grown since Mr.. Nye's
policy was written IA years ago, (the com,
pany Is little more than Is years old) and
that he was shrewd enough to see that it
was safe and sound even in its infancy.
During the IA years that the policy was
carried $831.89 was paid in premiums, on
an average cost of -$59.42 year or. $11.ss:

MIR. POPPLEDUKE'S ADVENTURE.

Mr.. Poppleduke and Major Silnms
are two worthy bachelors inhabiting
the same clearinghouse. Each is
happy in the possession of a good
many friends, and not having to get
up early in the morning, they some
times stay out late at night. 1t must
be admitted that Major Simms some
times has trouble in making port,
especially after dinner. Not so in
the case of Mr.. Poppleduke. No mat
ter how late the dinner or joyous the
occasion, his fine instinct never de-
serts him. Naturally he has often
girded at the major on his weakness.
"Why," he said, "you have trouble
in getting home after supper, and
never can do it without help after a
dinner. Major, I could come home
all right after breakfast 70
But Mr.. Poppleduke's hour of hu-
initiation arrived. 1t was after glo-
rious dinner to a friend who had just
been appointed counsel to an impor-
tant post. Mr.. Poppleduke came
home in a cab. He never faltered as
he went up the front steps, and his
hand had the precision of q copjurer's
as he sought the keyhole. Inside he
deposited his hat and coat and started
up the stairs, walking with preterna-
tural stiffness, and disdaining to touch
the banisters or wall. Now it hap
hened that a servant, after doing
some cleaning in the second story,
had very carelessly left stepladder
at the head of and facing the stairs.
Of course Mr.. Poppleduke went on
up the stepladder. "Shteepesh shtairs
ever sheen" he was heard to observe
when about halfway up. Then he
went ON, and reaching the top, stepped
off. The back of the stepladder broke
his fall, and he only shot to the floor
Ikea very rapid toboggan, and sat
there with his feet thrust straight out
in front of him. He hitched his shoul-
ders up into position, and after giving
the subject the thought which 30 re-
markable a phenomenon deserved,
said, "Mosht extraordinary 'currence
ever knew. Came up front shtairs.
Front shtairs extraordinarily shteep.
Fell down back shtairs. Back shtairs
shteeper'n front shtairs." "a long
pause, during which he spied his own

Won't tip girl mex Chrishmash !" He
reached. up, turned the knob, and
crept into his room on his hands and
knees, not daring again to trust him
self on his feet.
The next morning it was Major
Simms's turn to grid. But he refused
to acknowledge that he had placed
the stepladder where it was found.

b@ A respectable man went to the
cars one day to see his favorite daugh-

out of the cars, and went round to her
window to say a parting word. While
he was passing out the daughter left
the seat to speak to a friend, and at
the same time a grim old maid took
the seat and moved up to the window.
Unaware of the important change, he
hurriedly put his face up to the win
dow and said: "One more kiss, sweet
pet!" In another instant the point of

the window, followed by the pious in

from the opposite direction, with fury
in his eye and a club in his hand.

THE GAsPIPE.
A wellknown detective, in the course
of conversation, told the writer the
following curious story:
A. big robbery had occurred at 6
jewelers. in the West End, and I had
been entrusted with the case. The
burglars had got clean away with the
jewelry valued at $4,000, and had left
absolutely no trace behind them.
Shortly after, man was arrested in
the act Of offering diamond ring to g
pawnbroker, which was identified as
part of the stolen property. The man
protested that he had bought the ring
ola man in public house, and had
no idea it was stolen.
On searching the mans lodgings
nothing of an incriminating nature
could be found and, as there was very
little evidence to offer against the pris.
oner, the police were thinking of drop
ping the case.
1 paid another visit to the suspected
mans lodgings, resolved to make q
final search. As I was rummaging
around the mans bedroom I noticed
that a parrot was hanging in cage in
front of the window, and as I looked
up at it the bird suddenly spoke, and
said:

I looked eagerly around the apart

of the ceiling depended large, three

chair, I closely examined it. To my

Built for Two" and so it went on
until the end of the song. We cap
tured dozens of the birds, and when
we returned home we sold them, and
with the proceeds fitted ourselves for
another voyage.
"ME BACKS BRUKn
An aunt of mine owned a clever
parrot. She was in the habit of hang
ing this wonderful bird outside the
first floor window, where he had the
great educational advantage-build-
ing operations being in progress next
door-of hearing the artless discourse
of several Irish laborers, and of one in
erpecial, WHO was in the habit OF
proping his hod, after every descent,
against my aunt's house, while he
gave expression to his over-burdened
feelings. So Poll acquired unsuspect-
ed proficiency in the language of Erin.
One day the nail from which the
cage was suspended came out, and the
cage and parrot came to the ground.
Of course many willing helpers in
stantly rushed to render assistance ;
but when the cage was picked up
Polly lay, to all appearance, dead at
the bottom. Great was my aunt's
CONSERVATION, earnest the sympathy
expressed, for the bird had been quite
public character. Several tongues
were wagging, while the owner wept
freely, when on sudden the parrot
was observed to move.
The excitement became intense.

Presidential Possibility.

"A New York correspondent of the
Baltimore Herald of a recent date
says: 49,
II would be the idlest conjecture
10 name the probable Democratic
nominee. In all likelihood, he will
NOT he a New York man. He will,
however. almost certainly be sound
ON the money question. He will be
Ia low tariff man. He must be a
friend of this administration. Will
liam L. Wilson has these qualifica-
lions. Should Mckinley be nomi-
mated at st. Louis next June, Wilson
would become logically the Demo
cratic candidate. The two men have
been connected for years in the
public mind with antagonistic polit-
zeal schools. Another thing that
makes powerful for Mr.. Wilson, is
his freedom from connection with
any kind of money-making corpora
ton.
1t is an open secret in New York
that Mr.. Cleveland would gladly see
Wilson his successor. The feeling
between the two has always been of
the most cordial nature. Mr.. Wilson
is a S%outherner. He is not so far
south as to alarm the Democracy of
the North. He is an all-round avail
able man and he can concentrate
factions. He has no enemies within
the party. The anti-administration
Democrats would have NO excuse for
refusing to support him. Even on
the money question he has never
been aggressive. His early training
as a professor in a small university
has given him that quiet, unobtrusive
capacity for action. which, while
little likely to arouse enthusiasm, is
as little likely to arouse enmity.
Mr.. Perry Belmont is understood to
have had Mr.. Wilson in his minds
eye when he recently declared that
this country wants no "Greek play
president" AS is well known the
voters of New York have always
been hotly opposed to the Greek
play Mr. Perry Belmont will no doubt
sit in the next Democratic conven-
ton, and he will then take care of
the Greek plav issue.
