a coop at his house which he had
been fattening for Christmas. Tues
day night of last week some one got
away with the turkey and ten
chickens which were also there.
Two days later Mrs. Wagner hap
pened to be passing through the
back yard and noticed a box NOV

him there. He had lost little
flesh but soon recovered and was

Practical Dress suceestions.

In these days, when the changes OF
fashion are SO frequent and often so
dramatically opposed to those preceding
what is latest, economy suggests the
purchase Of few very handsome rather
than many articles of dress, and also the
exercise of considerable ingenuity in
adapting these gowns effectively to spe-
cial and varied occasions. Iwish to give
few practical suggestions to women
whose positions in life, even if they are
not wealthy, oblige them to be well
gowned. In the first place, make it
rule to invariably be well supplied with
the best of gloves, boots and at least one
handsome dress bonnet, which, in these
days OF wonderfully reasonable shapes
and garnitures, need not be at all ex-
havagant Always have fresh pair OF
black or dark gloves to save the wear OF
your lighter ones, and take special care
OF both in removing them Never roll
them up; always pull them into shape
while warm from the hands.
A rich black silk, satin or brocaded
gown of small design stylishly made
Is background for endless changes in
dress. Creamy 1aces caught here and
there with pretty jeweled lacepins; little
velvet bolero jackets stamped and
wrought with silks or beads and span
giles; fancifu1 collars of colored velvet,
with lace, Jet or chiffon trimmings; a
PAIR OF deep lace cuffs, with a bertha to
match; fichu of black point d'esprit,
with RIFLES of the same caught here and
there with cherry satin ribbons; grace
ful braces formed of Persian passemen-
ferie, with a girdle corresponding; pretty
garnitures of beads and embroidery in
the form of yokes; square necked plas-
irons, breton brUtelles banded across
the front, full neck ruches of hsse,
mousseline de sole, or net, with wrist
mills to match, with all these and many
more charming CONNECTIONS, a plain dark
or black gown Is multiplied constantly
as well as transformed. York

MY Pony.

My Pony.
A pony's such fun!
I've only just one,
Buf he'll carry me over the moon.
From the earth to the sky.
In the wink OF an eye
And carry me back as soon.
Hot mornings we stroll
From Yakutsk to the pole
The trip occupies but a minute
But in winter there's greater
Fun at the equator;
So skip to the Nile and jump Ia It.
Ny pony likes water,
AS any horse oughter,
And sails on the billowy sea,
In Eskimo kayaks
Or in Ioroas with dyaks,
Just wherever he thinks will suit me.
We've no time to tire,
There's SO much to admire
In the strange, farof lands that we ram.
With Tibetans and Japs
And other odd chaps,
Till supper time summons Us home
We sample all climates
And even past time it's
So xice to live over again
So we help the crusaders,
Lick Saracen raiders,
Or sail with Columbus from Spain.
And my pony's SO cheap
And SO easy to keep,
For he lives without clover or sheave.
Your pony's named Nero?
Yours Molly? Yours Hero?
Well, my pony's called Make Believe.

The tone Of Col Fred d. Grants dis
patch to President Mckinley declining the
Office of first assistant secretary of war
cannot be mistaken. He is evidently cha
grined at the failure of the president to
give him a foreign uliss.on, and 1t is prob
able he contemplated a position In the
cabinet The presidents offer shows that
point a first assistant from a state already
represented In the cabinet.
Col. Grant has not worked more faith
fully for the success OF the Republican
party, nor did he render more efficacious
service in securing the nomination and
election of Mr.. Mckinley than did Col.
Harrison Gray Otis. OF California. Col
Otis was moreover. a warm personal
friend OF Major Mckinley: yet the Office
OF assistant secretary Of war was refused
him because California was already rep
resented In the cabinet by Attorney Cen
eral McKenna. and Col Otis was sent home
empty-handed.
