sThe Same Durn Feller.,

In my day and time l have met up
with right smart Sprinkle of green
people. But by long odds tho most
greenest man I have ever saw was a
long, tall, ganglin rooster that come
into the settlement oncst from some-
where's down in the river country.
The stranger put up for the night at
the Pickens place, which the Pickenses
they was all powerful polite and proper
people. The next mornin when the
stranger got up and come out to break
fast old man .Pickeus said to him, says
he, ''good mornin, SIR
And the old lady then up and said to
him, says she, good mornin, SIR"
Then one of the girls spoke up and
likewise also says, good mornin, sir. +"
In the main time the stranger hadn't
said nothin and looked like he didn't
know what they meant. But by this
time I reckon he come to the conclusion
that somebody would have to explain.
"Why!" says he, 81 am the same durn
feller that staid hero last night"
There was one man SO green till you
could mighty nigh scrape it of with a
splinter, and he couldn't see no use in
people sayin good mornin to the same
durn feller" that had been there all
night,

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.


To decorate @ CRATE that is not re-
quired for use, place in it some small
pots containing ferns. Collect sniull Or
cones, varnish them aud throw around
in the CRATES so the pots shall be hidden.
If you possess cozy corner with @
shelf at the top have a zinc trough made
TO fit it and fill this with some hardy
foliage and flower plants. They will
last long time and add greatly to the
beauty of the room.
The latest card cases and pocket
books are made from leather that 10
called elephants hide. It has rather
o rough surface and is of light tan
color. They are mounted at the cor
ners in dull gold. or have a plain gold
band around them, headed by narrow
beading.
It Is not necessary to have fresh and
green things for all salads. The cold
asparagus tops, peas, beans, cold pota-
toes and beets, cut IN cubos, or any Of
them, mixed together with few capers
md sliced olives. The dish, for any
salad should be rubbed inside with a
raw onion.
Furs will look much improved If they
are cleaned with bran heated in the
oven. Rub the hot bran well into the
fur with piece of flannel, then shake
the fur to remove all PARTICLES, and
brush thoroughly. Fur collars that
have become soiled from rubbing
against the hair may be made to look
like new by using hot bran on them.
Apply the bran a second time If the fur
IL badly soiled.

WOMEN EVERYWHERE.

Miss Helen NJ. Winslow, of Boston,
was the guest of honor at the Profes.
sional Woman's league meeting in New
York. She is said to have made one of
the brightest impromptu speeches ever
heard at the league.
Mrs. John Ward Dunsmore, of Gin
cinnan. wife OF the artist, has made
quite q success as a speaker on art
topics, q subject with which she is thor
cughly conversant. Mrs. Dunsmore,
who IL an exceedingly graceful and
charming woman, was a Boston girl.
Miss Corrinna BufBnton.
1t was after ex-Empress Eugenie of
France that Princess Beatrice's little
daughter was named. The unfortunate
empress holds the children of this prin-
cess very dear TO her. and is seen much
with them during her residence in the
highlands and when she stays with her
majesty. She probably remembers that
had her son been spared to her Prin-
GEES Reatrice's children would have
been her ewn aTaaachildTen.

A Serious Threat.

From all l can hear, the Democratic
party is now seriously threatened with
julie Majors. julie is giving it out
through the settlement that he is goin
to quit the Third party and come on
back home to the old lick log.
81 have been gallopin with the Third
party from the first jump" said julie in
tellin the boys about 1t over at the
Cross Roads the other day. "Accordin
to what the leaders tell me, we have
whipped the fight Ia every election by
tremendous big majorities, but the other
fellows do the countin and beat US out
of the Offices. So / have come to the
conclusion that any party which can't
take big majority and beat measly
little minority never will stack up any
thing to speak of. Whereas at the
present writin think l will take out
and quit"

Noted Outlaw Captured.

Chattanooga, Jan. PA party OF dep'
uty sheriffs has just returned from the
mountains in the vicinity Of the Suck"
on the Tennessee river, where they went
to make another effort to catch the noted
outlaw, John Massengale, who Is wanted
for murder. They caught Massengals
hiding in cave in the mountain, where
he was living with his wife. The cave
had been fitted up with beds, cooking
utensils, etc, and prepared for living.
They also captured Tom and Silas, broth
ers of John, who are charged with out
raging a country girl in the vicinity.
MassengaIe is under a twenty-year sen"
tence for murder. He, together with
number of convicts, escaped from the
county Jail four years ago, and has been
at large ever since. He has lived contin-
uously since that time at his home In the
fortress of the mountains, and up to this
time has successfully eluded seven at
tempts made by officers to arrest him.
raid was made few days since to catch
Massengale, at which time he was shot
in three places, all slight wounds, but
the injuries he received seemed 10 have
broken his nerve, and although he had
declared he would never be taken alive,
he gave up gracefully and came to town
with the officers without any trouble.

Big Failure IN Nashville

The Rosenheim company, one OF the
most extensive retail dry goods establish
ments in the South, made a general as
signment at Nashville last week. No
schedule of assets and liabilities was
fled. The assignment was the result
of pressure from New York banks on pa.
per of the company for about $4,000,
and because of slow collections. The
company paid out $4,000 a year in sal
aries alone, and did big business all
over the State.

PEEPS AT SPRING syyLE
sAoN DECIDED CHANCE.

New York, Feb. ST. the present ten
dences OF modes may be regarded as
indications of what the future will bring
forth, then spring sleeves will run to
actual smallness, and skirts be wider than
ever.

In scattered instances, and that threatens
soon to sway all sleeves.
The evening gowns at present being worn
at the best tileaters have, in the ma Jority
of cases. short puffed sleeves, modelled
after those Worn during the Direetoire
period. and not great deal larger.
In ''The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmitll' Miss
Nelson wears pair OF sleeves that may DC
said to have made the hit OF the piece.
They form part OF Il black spang!ed gauze
gown, such as the stage always associates
with wickedness, and are revelation as
TO what simple draping may do for
beautiful arm.
The bodice of this gown is very decol-
lete back and front, and is kept on the
shoulders by 4 narrow spangled band.
Another similar to il encircles the bare
arm just below the elbow, like a brace
let, aud through this underneath goes
long scarf OF the spangled gauze. looping
loosely between the bracelet band and
the armhoie. where it is sewed in, and
hanging from the elbow in long flowing
end.
The effect is bizarre. OF course, but in
Miss Nelson's case it is extremely be-
coming.

they mostly relate TO mysterious diSap-

The color was one OF the strange, bright
blues, at present in favor, and with the heavy
serge was combined wonderful brccaded
silk in changing greens and purples. The
new mutton leg was the model OF the sleeve
which was made OF the serge, sIashed
openings being made in the lower portion
to show an undersleeye of the brocade.
Apropos OF this model sleeve there wa,

Again, French chanteuse, who lately
enraptured and astonished New York, wore
no sleeves at all, and then. also, a charm
ing arm got the benefit of the innovation.
A few of the newest evening gowns
shown by the smart dressmakers, are also
without sleeves, graceful little fall of
lace or artificial flowers at the shoulder
taking their place. Even where there are
sleeves there is an evident desire to show
as much of pretty arm as possible.
To accomplish this the bodice is often
made very low at the shoulders. or is held
on only with a strap, the short puff sleeve
hanging away below on the arm.
A charming short sleeve recently worn
by Mrs. John Jacob Astor at the opera
had the upper inside of the puff cut away
in a big half moon to show a very white
and pretty arm, indeed.
Another sleeve seen at the opera was as
simple as effective. The corSage of this
was of white satin, but the sleeves were no
more than pair of bracelet bands, above
the elbow of geranium pink velvet, and to
the outside of which was tied big white
