Costl,est OF Furs.

While the fashion in most furs chang.
es year by year, sable invariably holds
its own, and the possessor of a rich
garment of this material can we'll feel
the pride that comes from owning
something not commonly worn. The
demand for sable has never been SO ex-
tensive here as in Europe. and very
few understand the difference between
the relative value of the American and
Russian furs. AT the court of Russia
every member must have his sable furs
for state occasions and it is estimated
that this equipment must cost each
one not far from SOS. 1000. In Germany
the maids of honor are compelled to
have their garments trimmed with sa-
BILE tails and clippings. while in the
court dresses Of several other European
nations the sable figures in various
ways.

Not Easily Bunkoed.

The train was nearing Detroit when
at a way station a young man, dressed
in the height of fashion and carrying
n summer overcoat, stepped on board
and went through the cars as If looking
for some one. He stopped once or
twice ut a seat occupied by a farmer
looking man who attracted his atten-
ton. Finally he asked politely:
us this Mr.. Sam Garland, Of Bean
vile, Ohio!"
Yes. 'spose you read my name on
my valise, hey?"
NO, uncle; I'm your nephew, Hal
Garland, of Detroit"
II guess not. l reckon I amt lived
ifty-five years not to hev my eye-teeth

sech a dude as you air, not by a long

The young mar colored, but laughed
good-naturedly:
Il can find some one on the train
who knows me-" he said. And going
into another car, o returned with n
youth who was Of his own age and
style.
This is my friend, Mr.. Sampson,
uncle. Perhaps you remember his
father, who came from Beanville?:"
"Howdy, Mr.. Confederate? I remem-

warn't no relation Of yours. I'm right
sorry, boys, that l can't cash that

The two young men went of laugh
ing, and the nephew who had been
taken SO persistently fora confidence

to q friend:
