An Account with the Dentist.

Brown had the reputation Of being
the most miserable Of men. but he
plumes himself on his memorable sense
Of justice. For fifteen years he owed
a dentist SIS for filing front tooth
with gold, refusing to pay it because
he said the bill was eXorbitant. The
other day the filling came out. He
took the gold to a jewelry store and had
it valued. Then he wrote to the dem
fist and inclosed a check for the
amount: Actual value Of the gold,
$3.50; amount of labor (Which I deem
liberaD, So; for use Of the tooth fifteen
years, So; total $3.50. 1 return the
gold on account and inclose check for
balance, $40.

Some Fnshion Notes.

Leather for dress waists is something
unique in the winter fashions. 1t is
tan in color, thin enough to be p.iable
and is decorated with applique lace, as
II 1t were satin or velvet.
Accordion-plated chiffon, beaded on
the edge Of the plaits, makes a lovely
waist for dressy occasions, and 1t is
more difficult to sow on the beads or
spangles than it is to thread a needle.
Though a vast majority Of skirts are
untrimmed, not few Of the newest
creations show signs Of alteration in
this respect Flounces appear on many
smartly made gowns brought from
Europe, and 1t is said that when
trimmed skirts again prevail 1ounces
will provide the leading garniture.
Very handsome was black mohalr
skirt lined with pale mauve silk, a
plated frill Of the same finishing the
edge on the inside. A silky surfaced
black alpaca skirt was lined with pale
-colored silk, a glace silk blouse
bodice repeating the color, with a
blurred design of violets, producing a
very stylish effect.
The handkerchief waist belts are
greatly in public favor. They are made
of silk squares in striped black and
white, yellow and black and other tones
and the ends pass through a brass
buckle Of a patent make.
Black satin ribbon, four or five inches
wide and deliberately jetted, is used for
trimming silk and velvet capes. 1t is
sewn ;s.gthw'se at intervals all around
and the upper ends fold over in loops
anc are gathered in to partially form
the ruche.

AN INDIAN VARIANCE.
A Dakota ChIOf Takes Bishop whIpplS
and Civilization TO Tnsh.


Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota, says
that tho Dakota Indians once held a
war dance near a mission house. He
went to Wabasha, the chief, and said:
"Wabasha, you asked me for mission
airy and teacher. l gave them to you,
visit you, and the first sight Is this
brutal scalp dance. / knew the Chip
pewa whom your young men have
murdered. Ills wife is crying for her
husband; his children are asking for
their father, Wabasha, the Great Spirit
hears his children cry. He Ia angry.
Some day he will ask Wabasha: Where
Is your red brotherY" The old chief
smiled, drew his pipe from his mouth
and said: "White man 80 to war with
his own brother in the same country;
kill more men than Wabasha can count
in all his life. Great Spirit smiles; says
Good white mani He has my book.

for him by-and-by.' The Indian is

DIES IN CAPTIVITY.
A Scarlet Tanagor Kept in Cage for
qoyaroI ATnufha


Several Months
From the Chicago Tribune: Little
Billy, the scarlet tanager which for
several months had been willing
captive in w. +. Monroes cigar store, In
the Tribune block, died yesterday after
noon. The bird came the night Of April
il last. 1t was a stormy Sunday even
ing, and the Tanager, very wet and
scarcely able to fly, sought shelter In
the brightly lighted store. 1t was
thought remarkable that so shy bird
as the scarlet tanager should have
strayed into the heart Of great city,
and still more remarkable that Little
Billy stayed so long. For, though the
doors Of the store were open all sum-
mer, he never tried to regain his liber-
ty. A large bird cage was placed In
the store, and in this the tanager ate
and slept. It's door was left open and
Little Billy preferred to pass most of
his time hopping and flying about the
store. After he had been in the store
several weeks he became comparatively
tame, and permitted the clerks to feed
him. 1t Is said there ic no record Of any
other scarlet tanager living in captivity
SO long.

The round, full waist Is brought into
the same belt, so that the frock is really
in one piece. There are full bishop

drawn together by a rubber band, so
that they may be easily turned back

pointed yoke of fine white linen set In

trimmed with row upon row OF white
serpentine braid about the skirt, belt,

THE LETTER ct"
French Grapholoeist Says That 1t In.
dicates tho Writer'S Character.

French Grapholoeist Says That 1t In
dicates tho Writer'S Character.
A French graphologist has discovered
that character can be read from the
letter st" alone. He claims that the
vertical line represents the fatality OF
life, and the horizontal bar the infu-
ence human will exercises upon this
fatality.
In addition, he claims that the higher
part of the vertical line-that project
ing above the horizontal bar-has indi-
cations of the amount of ideality con-
tained in the makeup of the writer, and
that the inferior part of this line CORE
spends to the practical and material
part of the mans character.
For instance, the optimist crosses his
t's with a line that slopes upward from
the earth to the sky, as it were. The
poet often crosses his t's quite above
the vertical line; in, other words, in the
sky.
The pessiInist crosses his It's with q
downward sloping stroke. The line,
which commences ut the ideal portion
of the letter, descends little by little un-
Til it is lost among the sad realities Of
earthly existence
The practical man, it appears, always
steers a middle course, and crosses his
t's neither in the ideal nor in the ma
terial, but exactly midway between the
two.
