Quite as many forms of braiding are
in vogue for the bodice as for the skirt,
and it is equally essential that there
should be some definite design in the
application of the braid. Yoke and
sleeves may be braided so closely in
rows that the material hardly shows
between, or yoke and sleeves may be
plain, and it may be the rest of the
bodice that is SO treated.
Altogether, braiding is so abundant
that a bodice barred without it is a
welcome change, and thus comes the
favor for plaids and striped goods. In
the third picture is an example of the
silk striped with dark green, it bad an
emerald green velvet yoke banded with
white lace insertion, crossed with a
trellis of white silk cord and bordered
with rutfle and rose ruching of white
chiffon. Its white satin belt was loop
ed at the side. Combined with a plain
skirt Of almond green cloth, q dressy
and tasteful costume resulted, and of
a sort of which there will be many be-
fore the winter ends.
Where plaid accomplishes the barred
effect the general finish is usually
much simpler, and the colors are fire.

closed his key, but it really happened.
You see, q fellow who is compelled to
sit alone in a telegraph Office during
the long hours Of the night gets kinder
lonesome sometimes, and grasps the
slightest opportunity Of making the
hours go without ennui. That is why l
made friends with a big roach that
used to put in an appearance on my
desk. 1t waS a big fellow, and used to
drop in, as it were, about the time L
ate my midnight lunch, and as the old
fellow never intruded nor endeavored
to get at my lunch, l got into the habit
of throwing him odd bits Of my lunch.
1t soon got to be a regular habit, and |
managed to secure considerable muse
ment out of the visits of the roach. One
night l was forced to deviate from my
regular habit. Work rushed in, and |
was unable to get at my lunch at the
regular time. The old rascal dropped
in at midnight and took his accustomed
station on the table, but after a time he
grew uneasy and ran about the paper
seeking to attract my attention. Realiz.

his might at my package of lunch. He
had firmly gripped the string whict

He had thought himself forgotten and

A Sensation,

That the world is coming to an end
suddenly at q given time is not what
is here referred to. There are different
kinds of sensations, as very many peo-
pie know who feel sharp twinges of
pain in the big nerve of the thigh. Sci
atica is a very painful sensation, and
the torment of it makes one think some
thing is come to an end. But just at
the first sensation or twinge is the best
time to use ST. Jacobs Oil. The less
pain the more easily it is cured, and
the Oil prevents its development by
soothing the nerve. AT any stage it will

1t was on the day set apart by Presi-

Moraes stepped between the executive

dagger thrust. The colonel received the
dagger in his own body, the soldier in his
frenzy striking several times before he
was seized by the officials around the
president.
While President Moraes and the mem
bers of his cabinet were bending over the
body of Colonel Moraes, shot was heard
and General Bethencourt, minister of war,
staggered and fell beside the body of
Colonel Moraes with bullet in his head.
The soldier who tried to kill President
Moraes is under arrest and refuses to
give any reason for the attem pied as
