and cultivated Americans of the sort one
is glad to have here as pcripatctic exhibits
of tho civilization of the northern republic.
But as ON the "continong" there are tour

minutes regarding this abuse. Then he
had n row with the waiter, and how it

A Story Illustrating the Foolishness of
Talking In Public.
Mr.. Snodgrass stepped into bus one
day and was heartily greeted by his friend
Mr. Fleming, a cynical old bachelor Snod-
grass invited Fleming TO dine with him.
The only other passenger in the bus was a
lady closely yelled
"Do you see that fashionably dressed la
dy at the other end of the bust" remarked
Fleming.
"Well, what about her9 She has toll
erably good figure, but | expect it's pad
ded, ;" replied Snodgrass.
Don't she remind you Of n savagef"
"Bless me, no. How soY"
1.-THE savage" says Fleming, looking al
the lady in the corner, cloves finery and
loud colors. Then, again, a savage paints
his face-so does a woman"
Right you are-at least, my wife does, "
said Snodgrass.
"Savages scalp their victims; women
snatch them haldheaded."
Fright you are. Sayages can't take care
Of themselves, They have 10 lie provided
with rations and everything else they need
and if they don't get what they want they
go ON the warpath They don't differ any
thing in that respect from women. That's
Just the kind of wife Pve got"
women love sweet things Of all sorts
So do sayages. Savages wear feathers on
their heads, and women wear whole birds. u
Fright you are"
"Savages can't vote, neither can women,
and both are vindictive and unforgiying."
The bus was now near Snodgrass' resi-
dence, and Fleming having accepted the in
yitation to dine they both stood up to get
out. So did the yelled lady. She threw
back her veil-her countenance showed that
she had overheard every word.
MY wifep gasped SnodTass.
81 believe III not get out" said Fleming
sitting down again.
The bus went On.-Londun Tit-Bits.

enjoying a longer reign than usual. Green

outlined with cording. A velvet belt en-
circles the waist. The seams of the melon

Dhiteu r or Catush anu Shught an Owl.
A man Of unquestioned veracity
vouches for the truth of this fish story;
His friend, who lives few miles in the
country, set line for catfish one day
In the morning when he went after the
fish he found them in abundance, and
on one line he found a large owl that
must have been a terror to birds and
fishes when alive. The line was wound
around the body and the neck of tho
owl, and the fish bore marks of the owls
talons, showing that the owl had caught
the fish after the hook had caught it
and in its efforts to fly away with the
fish it had been ensnared by the line
after which the fish had its inning by
drowning the owl.
At any rate the owl was dead, and tn,
fish, though disiigured, was still in the
swim and playing the line with vigol
that caused the line to bob up and down
with the irregularity of the cotton mar
ket. The drowned owl is on exhibition
AS witness to the truth of the story
and the fish, though the finest of thu
catch, escaped the frying pan, and now
has steady job as an owl catcher. Thu
fisher set him for owls.-Valdosta Cor

hats is rather long and tedious process,
as it involves more or less attention to the
hair and the aid of mirror, and an
American audience, characteristically hur
ried and impatient, would hardly put up
with such system. By far the simplest
way out Of the difficulty is for women the
ater goers to wear small, hat bonnet
that will be in nobody's way and will yet be
enough of head covering to be worn
through the street. Theater bonnets are
the simplest things in the world to make
and the most becoming after they are made
A few flowers, bit Of lace and an orna-
mental pin are quite enough for the pur-
pose If the hair is prettily arranged for the
reception of the bonnet. A very pretty
Paris model was composed almost entirely
Of small, leahess velvet roses of a bright
red, arranged around a tiny spangled
crown of no particular shape. Violets,
which are again In style, might be sim
ilarly combined with guipure or green
flowers with jet.
The walking costume shown in the IL
Illustration is of platinum gray bure. The
godet skirt has two quilles In front, Of
striped gray and moss green velvet laid In
plaits. These quilles are framed by black
embroidery. The gray bodice has a short
rippled basque, edged with black astra-
khan. The bodice opens over q plastron
of moss green velvet and has wide, fold
cd collar bordered with astrakhan. The
gigot sleeves have flaring cuffs Of moss
green velvet, and flaring collar Of velvet
finishes the neck of the bodice.
