Columbia Calendar for 1898.

For the thirteenth year the Columbia
Pad Calendar makes its appearance
promptly on time for 1898, and while its
general style is of the same familiar
character, the many bright thoughts it
contains, contributed by its friends in
many parts of the country, as we'll as
abroad, are new, and will be appre-
ciated by all who take an interest in
bicycling, healthful exercise and good
roads.
The 1898 Columbia Pad Calendar con-
tains convenient arrangement of dates
that will prove useful to busy men, and
as plenty of space is reserved for memo
randa, the pad may be used as a diary
and as a reminder for business appoint
ments and obligations. 1t is neat in
appearance, takes up little room and is
both ornamental aud useful for the
desk, while its stand is of such character
that il may be used either upon the desk
or hung upon the wall. The moons
phases are indicated in the calendar for
the benefit of those who wish to have
this information. The calendar Is ready
for distribution and all orders for it will
be iilled upon the day of receipt 1t can
be obtained by mail prepaid for FIVE
two-eent stamps by addressing the Cal
endar Department of the Pope Manu-
featuring Company, Hartford, Conn.

ruptly, and he felt the wondering hush
which came over the great audience.
In his disappointment and hopeless
ness he could have cried aloud. This
was the moment for which be had wait
ed so many cruel, long years. This was
his triumph The tears crept down his
withercd cheeks and his lips moved
tromulously. He made no attempt to
leave tie stage, but stood with bowed
head, while the hopes and dreams Of
his wasted life passed in review before
him and clumblod away in the light of
the coDsciousnt IS that he had been
found wanting.
But all this while, unbeknown TO
himself, he had been drawing the bow
across the strings instinctively, unheed-
ingly, in unwilling disregard of his
surroundings. The accustomed, caress-
ing touch of the violin seemed to an
swer his vague longing for expression.
After awhile he noticed dimly that
the members Of the orchestra were bend
ing toward him with curious intentness,
and that there was breathless stiffness
throughout the house. He did not know
or care what was the reason, for he
was lost in the distant land of memory,
draping the brightness of every recol-
lection with the black of present hope
lessness; marking the vainness of every
hope and the futility of every sacrifice.
The thoughts which were flashing
through his mind found an added bitter
ness in the consciousness that all might
have been so different if his courage
had not failed him; if he could have
shown to the world what he knew to be
his real power. Was there yet time? If
he could only have another trial-one
little opportunity-perhaps he could re-
deem this mistake. He was sure that he
could. Was it too late-altogether too
late? Might not
He came to himself with start and
looked about him appcalingly mutely
asking forgiveness and sympathy from
some unknown source, then half Stun
bling turned TO leave the stage.
A murmur followed him, fast grow
ing into a roar The house seemed to
tremble and rock again and again in
hurricane of cheering. He heard his
name called by many voices and faced
about in utter bewilderment, his veins
tingling strangely. He saw a wildly
tossing sea Of faces. The audience had
risen to its feet and was crying out to
him-to himl The orchestra, too, was
applauding madly, forgetful of disci-
pline, and the conductor was smiling at
him with shining eyes. What did it all
mean? For moment he stood dazed
and uncomprehending, then suddenly
he knew the truth. Unconsciously he
had been playing the thoughts which
were in his mind, and the sobbing, vi
brating notes of the violin had told his
story to every human heart in the vast
theater.- Leland Ingersoll in LOCKER

HIS TRIUMPH.

Alone in his little bare room, Hart
zell was playing softly, telling the story
over to himself for the hundredth time.
1t seemed almost too good to be true,
and he could scarcely realize that his
opportunity had come at last, and that
that which he had longed for all his
hfe.had happened in his old age.
1t was really only trifiing incident,
the indisposition of the great soloist
and the substitution of Hartzell, but to
the broken down little man it seemed
the entering wedge of future fame, and
the melody be was playing that after
noon thrilled with triumphant promise
His life had been almost pathetic in
its uneventfulness, marked by only one
distinguishing characteristic, his love
for music. Ever since the first remem-
bered days, when he stood shivering on
the street corners and played uncompre-
hendingly to an uncomprehending audi
ence, his violin had been his only real
friend, listening to him, speaking to
him, in sympathy with him always
Among men he had been a failure,
his abstraction Of mind, together with
an extreme diffidence, rendering him
unfit both to follow and to lead. With
in himself he might lay plans for vigor-
Gus action, for forcing the world TO rec
ognize the genius which he knew was
his, but when the time for action came
he always shrank and waited until it
was too late.
And so the dreams of his young days
had never materialized, and he was still
almost where he had begun, an unideu-
tifiable part Of that great whole, the
grand orchestra of the Hyperion.
Never at ease in the company of 9th
ers, he had drawn further and further
away from his fellow men, finding his
only comradeship and the clearest ex-
preston of his thoughts in the clinging
sweep of the bow upon the strings. He
fell into the habit of putting all his
doubts and hopes into the music which
he played to himself, and it seemed as
though the violin understood and an
swered him.
1t came to pass that he rarely spoke
in any other way, but went through his
work silently, unheeding the presence
Of others, unanswering their words. His
fellows in the orchestra called him era
zy and made him the butt for many
pleasantries Of a personal nature. The
conductor alone recognized the absolute
certainty of time and strength and pur

TOO Much 1.urkev.-

In a conversation with Mr.. T. o. Car
penter, reported in the Chicago Times
Herald, Mrs. Grant relates one of Bis
marck's grim witticisms. The general
and Mrs. Grant, while at Berlin, were
shown by Bismarck the war chamber,
where the commission to settle the
terms Of the Russo Turkish peace was
then sitting. Said Mrs. Grant:
The chamber was empty at the time,
and he pointed out the chairs in which
the different commissioners sat, show
ing me his chair, that of Beaconsfield
and Others. AS he did so / asked him
what 1t was all for, and lie looked at
me evidently very much surprised at
my apparent ignorance.

1t was to settle the terms of the war be-
tween the Russians and the Turks, but
l could not see what the Germans had
to do with it.

Evening Bodies.

Among the most charming fabrics
Of the season are those gauzy ones
that reveal so prettily shimmering
silk Innings. and are embroidered in
pearls or cOlored jewels, or dotted
over with spaDgles.
A very graceful bodice is made Of
white glace silk, yelled with black
net, dotted with tiny silver spaDgles.
About the low-cut neck are tiny
Fuches Of plain net, put on with very
narrow silver passementerie. Mixed
bows of black and white satin APP

noticed that the girdle is IA particu-
larry artistic one of black and white
satin, twisted together. The bodice
closes at the left side.
The same design is very attractive
carried out in gauZes Of pale tint.
The arrangement of the sleeve of
this bodice may also be noted as
new. The ruchings of net that out
line the neck form a strap to go over
the shoulder. The top of the puff
that forms the sleeve is also border
ed with ruchings, the sleeve slip
ping down off the shoulder.
Another notably pretty lOw-cut
bodice is Of pink chiffon, a full frill
of butter colored lace outlining the
s9uare.cut neck and forming the
sleeves. The lace is all softly lined
with white chiffon. Pink and white
striped velvet ribbon is twisted
across the front and back of the
neck, forms ruffles for the sleeves
and the girdle, which goes twice
about the waist and is made into a
full-lOoped bow, without ends, al
the side.
The daintiest blouse imaginable
is made Of turquoise Liberty
gauze, with tucks about half an inch
wide. Very full-tucked ruffles edge
the neck and form thu fluffy, flower.

of velvet in the same shade.
A very fetching blouse of black
satin has the square-cut neck anC

From the right shoulder to tbt

fine and airy, wide, white lace. The
lace cascades down in front from the
end of satin. Ruffies of lace form
