evening gowns. Bodices of taffeta, with
pink flower design, are worn with white
satin skirts.
Sable tails decorate evening costumes
and are considered especially attractive
upon white or fade satins. The decolle-
tage is round or square, outlined with sable,
while the sleeves are Of tulle or mousseline
de sole and are adorned with flowers.
Evening mantles were never as luxuri-
Gus as now. They are made of the most
magnificent materials, and although they
are often in the form of long and short
Gapes vatican shapes are the favorites.
The erlnine lining forms revers, and cas-
cades Of lace fall from the sleeves
A great many blouses of liberty velvet
are worn. Rose and light green are the
fayorite colors.
Ruches of various kinds are to be as
popular during the spring and summer as
they have been this winter.
White lace is now more fashionable than
cream, yellow or ecru, and women who
have put themselves to the trouble of tint
ing their laces may now undo their work.
Announcements of a decrease in the size
of sleeves continue to be made, but as yet
there is no evidence of change. Possibly
with the coming of summer styles a differ
ence will be observed
The illustration given today shows an
opera or ball wrap of broche silk, violet on

satin, stitched and wadded. A rippled
pelerine of violet velvet embroidered with
gold covers the shoulders and forms high

ostrich tips. A garland of white satin
coques adorns the pelerine, and the wrap
is fastened by bow of white satin with
long ends. JUDO CHoLLET.

PARDoNED HIS AssAILANT.

Remarkable Treatment of Convict by
Governor Bob Stewart.
Governor Bob Stewart, who was the
chief executive of Missouri once and aft
erward United States senator from that
state, had a strange career.
During his gubernatorial incumbency
he was one day looking through the
penitentiary at Jefferson City when he
saw among the conyicts an aged man
whom he recognized. On the following
day he sent to the warden of the prison
orders to have that man brought to the
executive mansion.
When the man appeared, the govern
or, calling him by name, asked him if
he hadn t once been the mate of Mis-
souri, river steamboat The convict adj
mitted that he had been, and then the
ernor beginning:
edo you remember at one time of
having taken blankets away from boy
who was stowaway Oh the boat and
kicking him ashore?"
'The circumstance doesn't recur to
me now, but doubtless I did it. A
steamboat mate in those days had to be
considerable of brute.
eyes, sir. and you filled the bill ad-
mirably. I was the boy you robbed and
kicked ashore very near to this capital
city, and thus I became enabled to give
you your pardon. Here, sir, take it,
Now, right about. March out Of that
door and off these premises, and never
let me see your brutal old face again. -
The old convict walked away quite
briskly for one of his age.
A little while ago senator told me
that one day about the close of the war,
or perhaps little later, he was walk
ing down Pennsylvania avenue in Wash
ington with another senator when his
companion abruptly called his attention
to rather distinguished looking man
in gang of laborers who were cleaning
the streets, and I think he said under
police surveillance.
edo you know who that man is?".
the second senator asked.
"No."
"Well, that is Ex-Governor and ex-
Senator Bob Stewart of Missouri. He
was of a convivial nature, and the conviv-
alities of Washington proved too much
for him. Chicago Times-Herald.

There seems to be an effort in the direo-

A Tunnel Tbroueh P;,1.,s Peak.

1t is reported that the actual work On
the tunnel through Pixies peak was be-
gun eight miles from the Cripple Creek
goldield. The work is done under con-
tract with the city of Colorado Springs.
and the tunnel is to run from Beaver
Creek canyon to West Beaver creek,
bringing the water down the canyon
and into the control of the waterworks
at Colorado Springs. The tunnel is
1900 feet above the sea level and is to
be over "a mile and half long. The
workmen will drill through solid gran
lite, and a tunnel by feet will be
built. The contract calls for the coma
pletion Of the work within two years.
The price to be paid is SIG per foot,
and at this rate it is estimated that the
work will cost S250,000. Workmen
have begun operations at both ends OF
the proposed tunnel. Owing to the fact
that gold has been found i'll paying
quantities in SO many places near Grip
pie Greek, the contractors have great
expectations as to the result OF boring
through Pixies peak, and sufficient
number Of claims have been secured to
protect any find that may be made dur
ing the progress of the work.-Railway

out over the WATERS.
We saw that fire had been kindled
upon the island. Down at the water s
edge people were moving about among
the rocks In a little while boat SEEM
ed to leave the shore and drift slow ly
toward us.
As her cratic movements seemed to
indicate that she had no one aboard, but
was drifting at the will of the wind, l
attached no special significance to her
appearance, though glanced toward her
occasionally. Yet nearer she came, some
times directly toward us.
At times a heave Of the sea would
throw her far to one side; then she
would seem to linger moment, to
start off anew in our direction. Half
dazed from exhaustion, watched her
with tagging interest until she was
close at hand. Then saw the captain
reach out and grasp her by the gunwale
and hold her fast alongside.
He shouted for us to get into her. No
sooner had we all obeyed than she, start
ed swiftly for the shore. Then I per-
ceived that long warp led from her
to Slnutty Nose and that the people
there were pulling us toward them.
Owing to the direction of the current
the boat could not be dragged back to
the point from which she started, and
we struck the outer edge of the wide
reef Of rocks. It was nearly low tide,
and though the sea did not break upon
the reef every wave that rolled through
the narrow passage boiled up over it in
a swelling flood, submerging the rocks
many feet, to subside again, leaving
them entirely bare.
To run this gantlet was our next
trial. Waiting until sea retired, we
started over the slippery, weed grown
rocks and ran as fast as we could until
an incoming wave overlook US. Then
we flung ourselves fat upon the reef,
while the food boiled up over us, clutch
ing the rockwell with both hands and
clinging to resist the terrible undertow
backward.
When the refux left the reef bare
again, we rose and ran once more. Four
times the flood passed over us. Then.
breathless, bruised and half dead, I felt
grasp upon my collar, and was drag
ged up out of the grip Of the sea, safe
at last.-George e. Hosea in Youths

possum dinner the next day. The fam
lily was about to sit down to the dinner
table when wagon drove up and a
neighbours family came in. The head
of the house announced that the visitors
had come to dinner. There was no room
at the table for our young friend, the
sportman, and he waited, with his eyes
anxiously fixed on the dish of possum.
The guests had good appetites. Finally
there was only one piece Of postum
left, and one Of his own family took
that. Then the possum lover busted
right out a-crying. The disappointment
was too much for him.
"My friends" continued Mr.. Clark,

heard the first speech, thought, we'll
that is pretty bad, but still have some
thing left to say. Then there came the
next speech, and the next, and when the
last speaker finished I just busted right
out a-crying, because there was not an
other thing left for me to say
But there was, and he said it too.
He awakened that audience till you
could hear its applause mile away.

Germans Rule Europe.

Europe may be said to be ruled en-
tirely by Germans, since the heads Of
reigning houses are, for the most part,
of German origin. The British royal
house is of pure German descent. The
Austrian emperor is German and SO
are the Spanish princes. The king of
Denmark is German. The king of Swe-
den is of French ancestry (the founder
of the present line was Bernadotte),
but his recent ancestors have been Ger
mans. In fact, the French royal lines,
