THEY SKIPPED AGAIN.
The TWO Girls who Thought Kenosha
Slow Skip Again to a Slower Town.

Belle McLinden and Eva Root, the
two young ladies who went to seek
their fortunes in the windy city Tues
day are still possessed of a disposition
to wander. Miss McLinden was re-
turned from Chicago on the 800 r. Vim
Tuesday afternoon under the guardian
ship of her mother, who went in hot
pursuit. At about o'clock, before the
young lady had been under the mater
nal Roof half an hour, she disappeared
again ia rapid flight. At the home of
an acquaintance she stopped long
enough to explain that she was
after a doctor, and borrowed a hat.
Later in the evening the neighbor went
to inquire after the health of Mrs. Nc
Linden, and incidentally to recover the
hat. She learned however, that neither
the young lady or hat had appeared.
She was away all night and this morn
ing the anxious mother began another
search for the girl. This time it de-
svveloped that Miss Belle, in company
again with her friend Eva had taken
the morning train for the north. They
were finally found at Racine Junction
and returned to Kenosha a second
time,

The Swift PARTY.

An exceptionally pleasant dancing
party was given by Mrs. and Miss
Swift Saturday night at the Univer-
sity. The music was furnished from
Waukegan and was well liked. There
were nearly one hundred guests in
attendance. The ladies all turned out
in their !" best" for the last dance OF
the summer and made a very pretty
sight with their varied colored dresses.
Refreshments we're served in the lower
story and like the rest of the party
were of the best. 1t being Saturday
night the dancing stopped at u o'clock
although all wished the evening was
starting at that time instead of end
ing.

For instance, when Catherine HUtoQ
went to London in 1883, being then "a
years of age, she went with q certaf4
Mr.. j. Woodhouse and his mother. They
called for her at 1880 in the evening"
the gentleman being dressed In q suit
of pale-blue French silk, spotted With
pink and green, the coat lined With
pink silk, his hair in bag, white
feather in his hat, sword by his sides
and his rufRe and frill of fine point lace.
This seems very splendid. At the as>

coats"-meaning, probably, Of blue or
pink silk, like that of Mr.. Woodhouse,
those who were not wore "cloth coatss
trimmed with narrow gold lace, with
waistcoats of silver tissue, and the hair

each side of the head.'
The other ladies were covered with
diamonds. ''The subscription to tho
city assembly is three guineas; there
are 200 subscribers and late nights; the
subscribers are the first people in the
city; the rooms are lighted with wax,

this assembly.
As regards the Surrey assembly, all !

was on the ground floor, and that on e

the front door and gave admission to q

valiantly; Others tumbled downj the

That must have been embarrassing
information to the United States senate
which Statlstician Carroll D. Wright
furnished that body last week concern
ing the labor cost of lumber in this coun-
try and in Canada. His figures showed
that, while the average wages in Canadi-
an sawnills is $1.41 and Sill per day
here, the average labor cost of 1000
feet of lumber is $1.2S in Canada and
only 04 cents here. The decreased cost
of production IN this country is attrib-
uted to the superior machinery used.
Of course, the figures prove the free
trade contention that the rate of wages
paid does not indicate the cost OF pro-
duction.-that low wages arevery often
more expensive to employers, and vice
versa. But these hard facts furnished
by an officer of the government will not
dissuade the lumber barons from their
purpose to get q tariff on Canadian lum-
Der so that they can the more effectually
rob American consumers. Protection
lists care nothing for facts. What they
want is a license to steal.-National
