The distinction of being the richest
and the meanest man in the town in
which he lived belonged to old Andy
Scraggs. No one questioned his right
to this honor when old Andy's wife died
and he went to four different under
takers trying to get them to make him a
coffin fer five dollars out of some worm
eaten old black walnut boards he had
kept in his barn for 20 years ''for that
very purpose" as he admitted. When
he was worth over $150,000 committee
went to him to solicit something for
a widow with six little children who
had been burned out of house and home,
and who had not a penny in the world
nor a change of clothing for her chill
dren or herself. I'm dreadful sorry
for her, said old Andy, dreadful sor-
ry, an agree with you that it's right
for her friends and neighbors to help
her out. I'll do my sheer, gintlemin

MotberIy pride assured her that noth-
ing could be too good for her boy, ard
she babe him make list of those he
wanted to invite. This required con-
siderable time, and the list became so
long that nanny demanded its instant
shortening.
"Wull, Ill leab out Pete jackson, an
doan care. fo' he nebber lends me his
knife no noah, an I'll Leah out M'randy
Thompson an de Whites, said Pompey,
cheerfully. Use shore I'll hab nice
time when everybody knows rs gwine
have a pahty; I'll git all de 'tention
dere is goin' den."
Mrs. Brown was as good as her word,
and took in another washing the next
week. Indeed, since she had assented
to the party she was delighted to have
one. Pompey ran numerous errands for
her customers, religiously giving his
mother every cent toward the grand
event.
As he had predicted, he was a hero
among his playmates, each OF whom
longed fop an invitation. He avoided
naming those whom he meant to invite,
but pictured the glories of the coming
entertainment in the most glowing
terms. Peter Jackson was filed with
envy; he was nearly IA, but his parents
frowned on the idea of a party, and he
could only hope to go to Pompey's.
The day grew steadily nearer, and
the odor of baking that filled the little
cabin on the last morning fairly made
ones mouth water
Outside on the fence sat the youngest
Browns, with a group OF intimate
friends, shifting the air eXcitedly and
discussing Pompey's bliss.

Sarsaparilla
Not confined to blue Blood.


The royal garden parties at Buck
ingham palace are by no means the ex-
allied social functions that many
Americans imagine. Invitation to
them confers but little social prestige.
They were instituted By the prince OF
Wales in order that he might have OPP
portunity to do the civil thing to
number of his acquaintance, whom,
for one reason or another, he can nos
receive either at Sandringham or
Marlborough house as the guest OK
his wife, and who. for obvious reasons,
are debarred from attendance at court
functions. At the garden parties az
least one-third of the guests neither
have been nor are likely to be present.
ed at courr, and among them are many
divorcees, actors and actresses still on
the stage-who are, of course, strictly
debarred from presentation at cours
and even tradespeople. The few
princes and princesses of the blood az
these affairs are carefully guarded
from being intruded upon by the gen.
eral company. Nevertheless, on re-
cent occasion. the police had to be
called upon to keep the guests from
literally crushing their royal hosts IN
their anxiety to stare at them.-Chlca-

FASHION NOTES.
Neat and Stylish Garments for the Com
ing SeaaOu.

Neat and Stylish Garments for the Com
ing Season.
A stylish costume is made of dark
blue Irish poplin. The skirt is FIVE
gored, the half-fitting sleeveless waist
is of fancy silk, and there is an Elton
jacket of the poplin. The sleeves are
leg-o'-mutton, with flaring cuffs, above
which are bands of dark blue velvet. A
rather novel idea is shown in the revers,
of which there are two sets. The lower
ones are made of dark-blue velvet, and
are corded with yellow satin. and are
embroidered with a vine of black silk.
The round collar is of blue velvet, and
above this are rolled over points Of the
yellow satin with the black embroidery.
The effect is pretty, although rather
striking.
A cape suitable for cool days or ali
evening walk is made of black satin. 1t
is cut in sections, and left open in very
slender V-shaped divisions. These are
filled in with embroidery or lace, and
the satin is edged with galloon COW
cred with spangles. There is high
faring collar, very large bow at the
back of the neck, and at the front a
small bow with very long ribbon ends.
The cape is lined with taffeta, and there
| is frill of lace around the lower edge.
A costume for young lady is made
with a skirt of dark-blue silk. The
skirt Is plain and made with five cores
The waist is of blue and rose-colored
changeable taffeta. A very wide collar
with square tags reaching out over the
sleeves is of antique lace over rose-col
ored silk. Long points of the lace ex
tend down the front of the waist, and
are tucked under the rose-colored sill
belt. A rose collar with bows at the
sides finishes the neck.
A much-admired costume is made o.
blue taffeta silk, embroidery and bro
cade in two shades of heliotrope. Thu
five-gored skirt and upper revers are o
the blue, the Elton jacket and sleeves arr
of the brocade. The full vest front, tn,
under-revers and the cuffs are of EN-
broidery. The collar, belt and sleeve
bands are of blue and gold galloon.
| Anew sleeve is in leg-o'-mutton shape
but is gathered very full from wrist t.
elbow. This gives the effect of puff t.
the lower portion of the sleeve.-N.

Relicious roleratlon in China.

Since the restoration of peace and his
return to Pekin, in an interview re-
ported with a Methodist bishop, Ii
Hung Chang said: Say to the Ameri-
can people for me, to send over moro
missionaries for the schools and hospi-
tails, and / hope to be in position
both to aid them and protect them"
As confirmatory of these sentiments,
it is announced that since the war ter
minated all restrictions upon the prop
agation of the Christian religion have
been expunged from the Chinese code.
On the other hand, the war seems to
have had the contrary effect on the
Japanese, as we find the imperial diet
engaged in decreeing the erection OF
Shinto temple in Formosa. in order
that the spirit of celebrated prince,
and those of others who fell in the
service, may be worshiped as godsi

clothes to be ironed stood waiting, and
ell the little Browns expected cake, to
mark the Sabbath day as better than
the rest of the week. So nanny
hustled around, setting her iron down
hard sometimes, by which Pompey
knew he must on no account annoy her.
An ambitious project had been slow
ly taking shape in his mind--nothing
more nor less than birthday party!
The October woods were already flushed
with gayest colors, and the last day of
the month would be his twelfth birth
day. What shame, to have lived II
years and never to have had party!
SO Pompey thought. while his black
ewes twinlxled at thought of the imag-
ined pleasure, and then grew sober
when he reflected what nanny might
say.
Thump. thump! thump! The hot iron
fairly flew along on the table in the
kitchen, and as Mrs. Brown hung piece
after piece of snowy clothing on a
chair-back, she puzzled to think what
could keep Pompey so quiet.

ton, and came in at just that moment.
dispose yo'd like some holp,
nanny" he began, gravely. 'Doan
yo' want some wood toted, or some

Could she have heard Alright? Was
Pompey actually offering to work?
Nanny rose to the situation, however,
and from that time till noon Pompey
worked like little Trojan.

manded nanny, when the gong
sounded at IL o'clock "Dey is prob'ly
gone down to Jackson's, an dey nebber

She followed Pompey's retreatine
figure with wondering gaze, while
she fried the ham and cut the bread for
dinner.
young Browns had once more sided
out to play, visions of shady woods and
falling nuts rose temptingly before
Pompey's eyes; but he resolutely with
stood them. Mrs. Brown had seldom, II
ever, been SO proud of her eldest born.
About four o'clock the work was well
finished. He had carried the basket OF
clothes home to their owner, and re-
turned to find his mother seated in the
gay, chintz-covered rocking chair, q
picture of peaceful content.
Now was his time!

Pompey did not answer, but sat as
though lost in dreams.
Speak up, Pompey Brown, an an

"Oh, mammy!" Pompey turned a
glowing face to her. "Gimme birthday

Mrs. Brown speechless for few mo-
ments; then she spoke slowly:

Mrs. Brown reflected. Pompey had

only stay at that point of excellence
who knew what she might manage to
do!
"Wull you holp me all you kin ?" she
asked. "Ef let's you hab pahty, wul

time, and Pompey had even relented to-
ward Pete jackson, for Mrs. Brown
said: "One more wouldn't make much
difference, anyhow"
Pompey had kept well up to the mark
during the past two or three weeks, and
his mother was determined that the
party was to be grand one, encouraged
to renewed efforts by sight of the pleas
nre shining on the little black face,
and the wondering admiration as he
looked at the great cakes she made.
She had some little secrets, too, over
which she chuckled gleefully, as she
decorated the final cake, making
'Pompey" on it with little red candies.
At three o'clock the party was to be-
gin, and at three o'clock precisely tho
front door of the cabin was opened,
and in trcoped every child, boy or girl,
that had been invited. Then the games
were started, and such uproarious
| mirth as shook the whole place!
Nanny, who was respondent in her
best gown, with snowy apron and
brightly colored turban, shook till her
fat sides ached, and even joined in some
of the games.
Happy Pompey! He was king of the as
semblage, and he chose for his partners
whomever he would, while Pete Jack
son followed his lead admiringly.
But the climax came when the kitch'
en- door was thrown open, and nanny
announced, in her very best manner:
"Chillens, de suppah am ready!'
Such obs and abs as went up from
the little company! Nanny had sur
passed herself, and Pompey's heart was
full as he gazed proudly around. There
were creamy biscuits, thin slices Of
ham, preserves, cakes with frosting, un
limited candy, and-yes, there was ICE
cream.
| Never would Pompey forget hi
twelfth birthday, and the glories of the
feast then spread for him. How the
cakes and other good things disap
peared, while that unwonted luxury
the ice cream, was disposed of in ,
twinkling!
Pompey must cut the birthday calS'
himself, giving each one their prope
share of the candies forming hi
name.
He had several bundles to open, too
a handkerchief whose border of red an,
blue delighted his Utmost soul, a pen
knife all his own, and numerous game
and books.
Not vainly had nanny told the stor,
! of the party to some of her best custom
ers.
But everything must have an end, an,
the party shared the universal fate
