An Overawed Hi.hwayl-n.

The nue. and cry was frequently
raised III England during the e1ghteenth
century, against highwaymen who IN
tested the public roads and made even
the environs of London unsafe for we'll
to do travellers. These knights OF the
road were tremendously respectful TO
the persons they robbed after their 1lrst
greeting. Your money or your LIFE!
emphasized by a pistol and occasionally
they became champions OF the dis
tressed.
One highvayman, named Boulter,
who was hung in 177S, met young
woman weeping as he was riding on
horseback. Learning that her distress
was caused by the presence Of creditor
and bailiff in neighboring house to
take her husband to prison for debt OF
80 guineas, the highwayman gave her
money to pay the debt Then, when the
creditor came along the road, he took
back the 30 guineas and rode off, much
pleased with his inexpensive charity.
On another occasion this same high
wayman was "bluffed' by an impe-
rious, rough nobleman, who was also
deaf Lord O., the nobleman, while
travelling in his postchaise, was reused
from nap by the stopping of the car
riage. Seeing man on horseback, pistol
in hand, the nobleman angrily asked:
*'What do you want?''
''Money, my lord, - answered the
man.
"What money? Are you the rascal
who has just awoke me SO suddenly?'
''Be quick, my lordl I've no time to
lose. Hand over your purse.
''My purse! You shall not have it.
You carry on fine trade, don't your
Lord O. then quietly pulled out a
full purse, and with his finger and
thumb deliberately took out three gum
cas-, which he handed to the highway
man, saying: "There, that's enough for
a scoundrel like you. I hope I may live
to see you hanged"
The robber was so surprised by the
nobleman's rough manner and con-
temptuous Indifference that he did not
insist in his demand of the purse,
though he had pistol to enforce it

She Paid the Fare.

They got into crosstown car one
rainy afternoon last week He was a
good looking, manly young fellow, the
sort that always has existed, and which,
let US hope, will continue to flourish.
There was an Understandable look OF up
to dateness about her. AS they sat dow
he made dive into his pocket for the
fare.
''Don't bother" she said in matter
of fact tone, 81 have the change right

There was something in her infection
that warned him not to protest, and he
wisely allowed her to enjoy the sensa-
ton of paying the conductor for both. -

LADIES' COLUMN.
A CURE FOR RICCOUGH.

DIR. j. Frank Lydston is inclined to
make joke of the story that man
was cured of hiccough by lemonade.
LII seems certain Judge, j. d. Rose
OF Curryville, Mo-, was dying of hic-
cough, w. I'll. Sistrunk, a grocer of
Louisville, telegraphed the judge to
sip lemonade at regular intervals,
with the result that he soon recover
ed, although he had been given up
by three doctors.
1.-The only plausible explanation"
said DR.. Lydston, els the shock the
man got on receiving such message
from the State of Kentucky. He per-
haps got we'll to get rid of taking lem
onade.
''There is no scientific explanation
of the cause or cure for hiccough,"
went on the doctor. eve say it IS
violent and irregular contraction of
the diaphragm. But it often comes on
without apparent cause and goes as
mysteriously.
81 always cure myself of hiccough
by holding the ends of my two index
fingers as close as I can without al
lowing them to touch. In that way I
concentrate my mind so closely on
the fingers L forget the hiccough. 1t
may be the surprise at receiving a
telegram on such subject from one
unknown that helped to dispel the
muscular paroxysm, or it might be a
mere coincidence that the hiccough
stopped when the man began drink
ing the lemonade. Or he may have
got it along the line of mental sug
gestion.''

Fashionable dressmakers are now
making the Engliah distinction be-
tween the blouse (Which we usually
call the shirt waist) and the BODICE"
writes Isabel A. Mallon in April LADIES'
Home Journal. Both are supposed to
be worn with skirts that differ from
them in color and material, but the
blouse is full, is draped, has tucked
or fancy front, with stiff collar and
cuffs, and always suggests a rather
undress get-up. The bodice fits the
figure, and though it may be made of
cotton, silk or velvet, it must never
suggest, by its trimming or style of
collar, the tailor made or shirt effect.
Unlike the blouse it is very often suf-
ficiently elaborate to be worn with the
richest skirt, and the trimming upon
it may be ribbons, spangles, laces,
feather or fur pipings, land all the very
open embroidery that initiates Irish
crochet. However, it is the blouse
that will be given the greatest popu-
larity during the coming season."

Choose dull day to wash windows,
or at least a time when the sun is not
shining on the windows; when the
sun shines on the window it causes it
to dry streaked, no matter how much
it is rubbed. Take painters brush
and dust them inside and out, wash
ing all the woodwork inside before
touching the glass. The latter must
be washed simply in warm water di-
luted with ammonia. Do not use
soap. Use small cloth with pointed
stick to get the dust out of the cor
ners; wipe dry with a soft piece of
cotton cloth. Do not use linen, as it
makes the glass Unity when dry. Pol
ish with tissue paper or old newspa-
pers. This can be done in half the

the result will be brighter windows.
