There are many clever women whips
seen in Saratoga, clad usually in gar
ments rather Partisan than British,
after the Newport fashion; and this
fact makes the carriage parade finer as
pageant than anything seen in the
city by the sea and gayer even than the
severely correct costuming of the au-
tumn coaching parades in New York.
A strong favorite among the carriage
women is the carriage cape, and it's
chosen color is apt to be fawn or warm
gray with a tinge of red in it.
There is almost no horseback riding
in Saratoga. There is less bicycling
than one would expect to see, with such
pleasant environs and perfect roads. A
pretty recent addition to bicycle out
fit is a tiny leather toilet bag, strapping
on the handle-bars and containing
comb, brush, powder box and puff and
a tiny mirror.

by the University of Oxford to test the
classical attachments of the Bath schol-

OLD METAMORA COURTHOUSE.
Chicago & Alton railway, but has no
direct connection by rail with the larger
towns of the county, and for this rea-
son was unsatisfactory as a county seat.
In this instance, however, posses
sion was nine points of the law and
Metamora held the county seat against
all contending towns until 1894, when
2,595 votes were cast for the removal OF
the county seat to Eureka, and 1860
against the measure.
This election did not settle the mat
ter, as Metamora contested the election.
In the circuit court the decision of
Judge N. Z. Worthington was fasora BILE
to Eureka.
This decision has recently been at
frmed by the state supreme court, and
the county seat will be removed TO Eu
reka.
The courthouse which the county
will abandon when the county seat is
removed to Eureka is one of the
oldest in the state. 1t was erected in
1874, and has been the scene of many ex-
citing trials in which some of the most
brilliant lawyers in this country have
been engaged.
Lincoln practiced law in this court
house for number of years before his
entrance into the campaign for the
presidency. Our present vice president,
Ada Stevenson, won his first honors
in the Woodford county courts. The
rich voice of Robert G. Ingersoll often
1esounded through the halls of this his
toric building as he argued before judge
or jury.
Many other men well known to the
people of this country have practiced in
that county. 1t is safe to say that
few other courthouses in the state have
more interesting history than has
Metamora.
The necessary steps for the re-
moval of the records and Offices OF the
county from Metamora will be taken
in few days. The new courthouse will
be erected on the public square in the
center of the business pert of town.
The property was recently decided to
the county by the city of Eureka, on
condition that the courthouse be erect
ed on it.

THE DUMB PROPHET.

"Take this message from your King. to His
people.
He that sheweth 1t completest.
Shall have need of me the sweetest.
Heralds of the Prince on high;
Tell 1t clearly. though you die.
None shall on this mission go
Who hath faltering voice or low"
One whose heart within him burned, and
whose lips
AS with fire were eloquent,
Kissed his Masters feet and went
TIL the pale and suffering host
He confronted as ghost
To his tongue no speech would come.
He was stricken-stricken dumb!
Forth he crept into the streets. white with
anguish;
But lost child, piteously,
Ran into his arms, and he
Bore 1t to its home. And one
By the worlds Geld scorn undone,
Stony by the drear wayside,
Looked upon his face, and cried.
Lost, his message, evermore; but his feet
forever hasted.
Low he bent to every need
That his toilng hands could feed;
And the sick and dying bed
Still his mute face comforted.
Still, through every woe and loss,
Dumb, he pointed to the Cross.
Came the hour when. bowed and gray. the
King called him.
Lord" his soul cried THY great word
None from my poor lips hath heard.
/ have failed But, for Thy grace,
Give these souls about me place.
Let me wander hence unblest,
So Thou take them to Thy rest"
Conquerors from every cline through the
Kings gate hasted;
Heroes famed from land afar,
Captains in His holy war,
Souls triumphant, God-forgiven,
Singing-but the King of Heaven
Saw, without. the prophet dumb,
Weeping, and he called him; "Come!"
And there followed in train, clutching at
the poor mute's dress;
In his arms was wan child,
And the great King locked and smiled.

match. Bizarre effects in decorated
bodices certainly find favor. One of the
most striking morning gowns the day
revealed was made of canvas. The
bodice was literally covered with alter
mating horizontal strips OF black velvet
cleaning with gems and of frills of soft
lace. The sleeves were of the new bell

There is another new bodice that is
very pretty and can be worn equally
well with any dark skirt. 1t is simple
little affair If white chiffon, with the

black velvet corselet. Across this chif-
