Butchers Bargain Days.

Bargain days" are no longer pecul-
lar Or restricted to the big dry goods
and combination stores. The butchers
and grocers have entered the field. The
grocers have had to make occasional
cuts for some time, because nearly all
the large shopping emporiums deal in
groceries, of the canned variety espe-
cially. But bargain days in steaks, chops
and sausage are something new and
unique.
On the upper west side there are a
dozen butcher shops that have followed
the lead of large market on One Hun
dred and Twenty fifth street. At this
place the housekeeper who watches out
for the pennies may get bargain every
day in the week. On Saturday, for in
stance, there is a big cut i'll corned beef

On Monday posters with huge black
letters inform the passerby that the
prices of pork are being slaughtered or
that there is bear movement on legs
of lamb. Bedrock prices are quoted in

steaks on another day. Turkeys, chick
ems and geese go for a song on special
occasions, and regular bankrupt quota
tions are put up against "fresh country
sausage" and Philadelphia scrapple"

A TRAGIC ADVENTURE.
The Thrilling Sequel to the Hanging Of .
Condemned Murderer.

The Thrilling Sequel to the Hanging Of .
Condemned Murderer.
Everybody remembers when the
great Texas murderer, Dick Masters,
was hanged" said f. NJ. Gary of Waco,
"but the strange death of Sheriff Win
ters, who sprung the trap, has been kept
out Of the papers. After Masters body
was cut down, the county physician pro-
nouncing the murderer dead, the sheriff
ordered four deputies to carry the body
to his private laboratory, where he
used to pursue his medical expert
ments alone. He was bound to dissect
the powerful, we'll developed body Of
Masters, SO he shut himself up with the
corpse and went to work.
The sheriff moved about briskly,
making great clatter with his instru-
ments. Several times he went to the
windows and peered out, but the neigh
borhood was deserted. He soon discov-
cred that the drop on the scaffold had
not broken Masters neck, and the sher-
iff thought that was fortunate, as he al
ways had experimental on the restora-
ton of life whenever opportunity afford
ed. He laid down his instruments and
began to try and restore life. The even
ing shadows drifted into night. 1t was
O noisy town and the shouts and laugh
ter of jewellers could be heard every
where. Several times the crowds pass
ing the sheriff's room thought they
heard the sounds of scuff1ing, and more
than once muff1ed shout was heard.
But the pleasure seekers on the streets
passed along without giving thought
to this.
On the following day Sheriff Winters
failed to appear at his Office Nobody
had seen him since he locked himself in
the laboratory with Masters body.
Finally the mayor of the town and sew
eral deputy sheriffs went to the labora-
tory, but rapping at the door nor shouts
would bring any answer. Then they
broke open the door. The sight before
them nearly turned their hair gray.
The room was total wreck. The furni-
ture was strewn about the room,
smashed to pieces, and everything bore
evidence of terrible struggle. Sheriff
Winters lay on the floor, dead, and the
marks about his throat showed that he
had been strangled. A few feet away
lay the dead body of the murderer, Mas
ters. The faces and the garments of both
men bore evidence of a hard fight. The
only conclusion that could be arrived at
was that Masters had revived, and on
regaining consciousness and strength he
attacked the sheriff and succeeded in
killing him before he died himself. All
this happened i'll the Jail of Rio Grande
county. kansas City Journal.

is THIS FACT OR LEGEND?
A Queer Story About the Way In Which

A Queer Story About the Way In Which
"Leonanie" Was Written.
In the house of gentleman in this
the fly leaf of an old book. Noticing
the initials "E. A. P. at the bottom,
it struck us that possibly we had run
across a bonanza.
The owner of the book said that he
did not know who was the author Of the
poem. His grandfather, who gave him
the book, kept an inn in Chesterfield,
near Richmond One night a young
man raped at the door and asked if he
could stay all night and was shown to
room.
That was the last we saw of him.
When they went next morning to call
him to breakfast, he had gone, but had
left the book, on the fly leaf of which
he had written these verses:
LEONANIE.
Leonanie Angels named her,
And they took the light
Of the laughing stars and framed her
In suit of white
And they made her hair of gloomy
Midnight and her eyes of glowing
MoonShlne, and they brought her to mo
In the silent night.
In a solemn night of summer
When my heart of gloom
Blossomed up to greet the conner,
Like rose in bloom
All forebodings that distressed me
l forgot as joy caressed me,
Lying joy that caught and pressed me
In the arms of doom.
Only spake the little lisper
In the angels tongue,
Yet, listening, heard her Whisper
"Songs are only sun
Here below that they may grieve you.
Tales are told you to deceive you.
So must Leonanie leave you
While her love is young"
Then God smiled, and it was morning,
Matchless and supreme.
Heavens glory seemed adorning
Earth with its esteem.
Every heart but mine seemed gifted
With the voice of prayer and lifted
Where my Leonanie drifted
From me like n dream.

How to Reduce Your Weight,

When you are dieting to reduce flesh.
you must eat stale bread, and give up
potatoes, rice, beets, corn, peas, beans,
milk, cream, all sweets, cocoa, indeed
anything which even suggests sugar or
starch. Dry toast without butter, tea
without either milk or sugar, rare meat
with no fat, and, as far as possible, no
vegetables at all should form your diet.
Take all the exercise you can in the
way of walking; go twice week to a
Russian bath (where possible) and il. .
variably go to bed hungry. Anybody
brave enough to live up to these laws
will certainly lose flesh.

With dusty roads wound crookedly between,
And circling peaks stand high and hazy blue,

And smiles and rests his eyes on one meek

ART OF HANGING PICTURES.

Oil Paintings Should Not BE Placed In o
Room With Engravings.
Only second to importance to produc-
ing fine picture is the fact that the
work when completed should be seen to
an advantage OH the walls where it is
placed. ;
In consulting with leading decora-
tor on the subject, he said: "In the first
place, it may be suggested that 1t is not
desirable to put oil paintings in the
same room with engravings or draw
ings in water colors, crayons or other
like materials. 1t is often done, fire.
quently as matter Of necessity, but we
consider it, from point Of artistic
taste, a mistake. .
"Again, there should be q certain
classification Of subjects in the pictures
ornamenting the walls, as inattention
to this is occasionally ludicrous. Irecall
one instance where there was print Of
Rubens Descent From the Cross, and,
hanging ON either side of it, engravings
Of Wilkes Village Festival and Meis-
sonier's Cavalry Charge Surely moth
ing could be more absurd than placing
i'm Immediately juxtaposition works in
which the motives of the designs are so
directly opposite as the illustration Of
death, village revel and the fierce
shock Of battle.
Gas general rule, it is we'll to place
pictures of certain order Of design to-
gether. Some works can only be seen to
advantage in a bright and others in
subdued light, while it is equally cer-
tain that many lose nothing if placed
above the line of sight, and others gain
rather than lose if hung much nearer
the floor.
"a medallion or bas relief of the right
sort set in here or there among the pic
lures is relief to the artistic sense,
and, above all, all sorts and conditions
of frames should not be put together in
hodge podge. Gold and white and
gilt do not offend when in close posi-
ton, but pictures framed in oak or any
dark wood should be kept by them
selves. Crayon portraits Of photographs
should never be visible in parlor or
drawing room, and to overcrowd the
walls of any room with pictures, good,
bad and Indifferent, is the very acme Of
poor taste. New York Recorder.
