THE OBJECTION NOT GOOD.

There are people who have objections
to advertising matter in the columns or
a newspaper. The ground Of objection
Is that they do not want to read ad-
yertisements. Now this objection Is not
good, for oftentImes these advertise
ments convey valuable Information.
For instance, how else would the trav-
cling public learn Of the excellent din
ing car service Of the Wisconsin Cen
tral lines between st. Paul and Chicago,
or the general comfort OF travelling over
this popular line. For particulars call

A cross old woman Of long ago,
Declared that she hated noise;
The town would be so pleasant, you know,
II only there were no boys
She scolded and fretted about II TIL
Her eyes grew heavy as lead,
And then, Of sudden. the tOWu grew still,
For all the boys had fed.
And all througo the long and dusty street
There wasn't boy in view,
The base ball where they used to meet
Was a sight to make one blue.
The grass was growing on every base
And the paths that the runners made;
For there wasn't a soul in all the place
Who knew how the game was played.
The dogs were sleeping the live-long day,
Why should they bark or leap?
There wasn't a whistle or call to play,
And so they could only sleep.
The pony neighed from his lonely stall,
And longed for saddle and rein;
And even the birds on the garden wall
Chirped only dull refrain.
The cherries rOttcd and went to waste
There was no one to climb the trees;
And nobody had a single taste,
Save only the birds and bees.
There WASH I messenger bOy-nOt one
To speed a. such messengers can;
II people wanted their errands done,
They sent for a messenger man.
There was little, ween, Of frolic and noise
There was less Of cheer and nlrth;
The sad Old town, since It lacked the boys
Was the drearicst place On earth.
The poor old woman began to weep,
Then awoke with a sudden scream;
"Dear me, she cried, 81 have been asleep,
And ON, what hOrrid dream"

A PRETTY STORY.
OF Queen Victoria and Courteous American
Minister.

The ap preaching celebration OF the slXtie.h
anniversary Of Queen Yictoria's reign natu.
rally turns our thoughts back TO the year Of
grace 1897, when her gracious majesty was
fair young glrI Of eighteen.
Mr.. Andrew Stevenson, Of Virginia, had
been the American minister to England olly
few months when the young princess became
the queen. His contemporaries took great
pleasure in hearing his experiences Oh that Oc-
caslon so fortunate for England and the
world.
Mr.. Stevenson was duly presented 70 King
william ". by his predecessor, As he backed
away from the presence Of majesty he OBJ
served a small group standing near the door
through which he must leave the drawing room
Two ladies, evidently mother and daughter,
attended by several gentlemen. stood apart.
neglected by the crowd. Mr.. Stevenson ssw
that the young girl was looking directly at
him. and bowed courteOusly % her which sal
uiation was returned by the little party, the
two ladies smiling pleasantly.
When they we're fairly out Of hearing Mr.
steVenson's companion informed him that tue
two ladies were the Duchess Of Kent and the
Princess Victoria, and that he had committed
3 great bluRder in saluting them since u was
contrary 20 court etiquette to acknowledge the
heir in the presence Of the sovereign. The gal
liant Yirginian, however, stoutly protested that
no cast iron rule could excuse gentlemen for
inciVility to lady.

SUMNER FABRICS.
Great variety shown in J hose That sre Net
Washable

In fabrics. other than washable. fer summer
wear, nothing so far has been displayed that
is so light cool and stylish in appearance as
the canvass suiiings Of different degrees OF
fneness and sheenIess. Some are almost as
open in mesh as grensd nes, and come either
in black or in cOlors. They are rather ex-
pensive, especially when one considers that a
silk or satteen lining vill be NECESSARY; but
they wear ezceilenuy, are very wide and
drape most gracefully.
silk serge IS a new lining fabric that has
been invented for the above style Of goods,
also for grfnadines, orgaudies and b4ptisies.
1t looks like surah and has a very good silk
finish, although the back IS cotton or linen, 1t
is twenty two inches wide, and Is seldom more
than forty or fifty cents yard. Under thin
fabrics it appears quite a well as an expensive
silk or satin.
Batistes are shown in exquisite drswn-wOrk
effect, also in plsids, stripes and embroidered
designs. Plaids seem 10 be the iayoriie in
every style OF goods from dimities TO silks,
and some of the latter have plaids that are
seven inches square The plsids on many Of
these are made with satin stripes an inch wide
with solid colors. generally dark on a light
ground, and then the surface between is Gov
cred with Persian figures, floral designs or
MORE effects.
The Norfolk jacket is very popular for demi-
toilettes for street wear Scotch homesDuns.
granite cloths and English cheyiots are nearly
all made up for walking suits, with eitherthe
Norfoek waist or the jacket for the REFER
style. The latter have generous amount 0.
out ide pockets, and are generally V-shaped at
the neck to display the trim linen collar and
scarf.
The draped waist is seen in many variations
Of Wash materials and silk, such as fouard
and tafeta. Reyers winch used on waists are
much smaller than last year, and are not now
congned 10 tee fronts, but appear in the most
unexpected pl4ces-at the back, for instance
OF below the bust line. They are frequently
cut in fauciful shapes or rounded
