 THE WELCOME GUEST.

When the New Fad came to this land one
 day, He smiled to the crowd in confident way, And the New Fad said: "I have come to
 stay. T was born century, maybe, ago At the time they thought me a trife slow I wasn't remarkable then, you know. I'm as old as you" and he raised his hat To the Yankees prone (for they all lay flat As nation they're noted for doing that. "I'm as old as you; on my native shore They've long since thought me a fearful
 bore, So I'm glad I never met you before. Then up spoke an erudite, cultured miss, And she said: Tt affords me eonsummate
 bliss To welcome our guest" and they cheered at
 this. Then the New Fad smiled to himself and
 said: Wisdom, no doubt, will always spread, But I'm glad that the fools are not all
 dead''

 There being no alternative, the genius microbe soon found himself at work in field of gray matter, planting the seeds of greatness.
 Then it was that the man began to have fever, and, turning to the wom- an, said: q perceive that l am called upon to do something"
 Whereupon he wrote.
 And the woman smiled upon him, while her heart turned to ice

 Eleven Fifteen a. m.-The wives and children of our gallant crew are weep ing and wailing. People are fiocking from all directions to take a last fare we'll look at our noble ship.

TRAPPED BY A LAWYER.

The story of Abraham Lincoln's con- founding an opposing witness with an almanac record of the moons phases finds parallel in the case of Waterson, recently acquitted on charge of mur- der ill an Iowa court. The main wit- ness against him was one Delafield, who swore he was working just outside the window of the accused on the day of the alleged crime, and saw Waterson open a cupboard, take down bottle, move about as if preparing a potion. and then administer the draught to Mrs. Water son, who died in great agony later in the day.
 A lawyer named Bradford, for the de- fense, had asked the jurymen on ex- animation of them as to competence, if they had faith enough in the weather bureau reports to attach credence to them, and had found every man on the panel believed the records were fair and reliable. The state had not understood the drift of these questions, but had not objected.
 When it came to cross-examining Bradford asked the witness, Delafield. what he was doing outside Waterson's window. and he said he was digging cistern.
 When did you begin digging that cistern 2''
 November Il, the day Mrs. Waterson died"
 How much did you dig that day?"
 "Oh, about three feet"
 ''What tools did you use2
 "A shovel"
 And picll?"
 ''No; the ground was mellow"
 Work in an overcoat?"
 ''No; my shirt sleeves. The day vas warm.'
 Have anything to drink?"
 Had a little pail of water on the ground within reach
 Didn't it freezer"
 ''No." The witness smiled scorn- fully.
 Then Bradford offered in evidence a certain copy of the weather bureau re- port for November 10 and II. and showed that the temperature had been below freezing the first day and below zero the day of the alleged crime.
 The jury accepted the official doeu- ment, and to that extent regarded the witness as impeaehed, for Waterson was acquitted Chicago Times-Herald.

 And he set to work.
 When the mans book appeared it dealt with love, and the subject was so won derfully handled, and the maliciousness of Cupid was so thoroughly exposed, that everyone who read it understood.
 Which was more than the man him self did, for it really had been written by the genius-microbe.
 And because of the book, many of those who read were able to love hap pily. in spite of the tricky boy.
 Thus through the sacrifice of one wom- an came about the joy of many.
 Cupid is still at it, trying to correct the work of his betrayer through others of his lSind
 It happens, however, that genius-mi- crobes are very scarce, and, like butter flies, can be caught only at certain sea- sons.-Tom Mason, in Life.

HIS IDEA OF REST.

business man accustomed to hard work for many years usually finds idle ness irksome. Men who have been actively in the harness as a rule do not like to retire, although retirement in old age is the goal of the average worker. \ successful Chieagoan, who has reached 60 years, said to me the other day: sI am going to quit. I have worked for 50 years without a weeks vacation; now I am going to rest for 30 years. l have earned every do1- lar l possess and I intend to spend money and stop worrying about ae- eumulating it."
 I applauded this determination and inquired how he intended to spend his leisure.
 T have bought q homestead in -." he said, naming a small town in Mich igan, 'sand l shall remove there with my family and simply wallow in idle ness and contentment."
 But how will you pass your spare time?'' l insisted.
 Well. I'll hunt and fish," he said.
 Good; but that twill not keep you busy the year round,' I ventured.
 No; but I shall read. I'll take all the papers. I will get together a little library, too"
 What will occupy all your extra time?'
 "Oh, I shall walk about a good deal, dare say. Exercise-you lznow-great thing for an old man."
 "Is that your entire programmed"
 "N-no, not exactly" he said. hesi- tatingly. I'm going to organize pri- vate bank down there and manage it. Chicago Times-Herald.

 Nelson Tubbs, Lieutenant. U. S. \.

February 3, 1s97.-This is undoubted- ly destined to be an eventful day in the lives of the men who compose the crew Of the battle ship Soekdologer. It is now nine a. m. We have just received sealed orders to sail, and all is hustle and hustle. The sailors are excited. the officers seem to be laboring under intense anxiety and crowds of our rela- tives have gathered around the dry dock to bid us farewell.
 Nine-Thirty-S a. m.--The engineer has given orders to start the fires, and they have been executed without single mishap. The excitement is be- coming greater.

WHITE oHRYsANrHEMusl.
Tom Mason.

She was only a country girl of simple
 tastes. It was because Of this, perhaps. that on her
 wedding day She decked herself only with the little white
 Chrysanthemum flowers that she
 loved Because they grew beneath her window. And when the bride and groom were gone, And three days had passed, Those behind found some of the blossoms in
 bowl of water in her room, where
 strangely enough, they had taken root And these they planted again among those
 others that she loved Because they grew beneath her window And when year and day had gone by And she came home to them, Dead and beautiful, They decked her again only with the little
 white Chrysanthemum flowers that
 she loved Because they grew beneath her window.

Hedged with resolutions pious, Far away though she be nigh us,
 Moves the maid demure. Does the aegis of devotion From all temporal emotion
 Keep her thoughts secure? Forty days, serene, unruffled, Ears to worldly sounds close-mufHed.
 Time passed as dream; Dreams, perchance, of pure deeds votive Or were raiment fine it's motiveY
 Good or goods it's theme? Then the chrysalis outgrowing, To a life with splendor glowing
 She again is born. Never knows maid greater glory, Be she in life, song or story,
 Than on Easter morn.

Designs In Cloth.
 Rain-cloaks are very smart this spring. The cheap macintosh has vul- garized the most useful of rain-cloaks, which of late years has been got up to represent anything but garment of waterproof material.
 The best rain-cloaks now are of thin cloth or thick cashmere, .'waterproofed" l., a special process. Elegantly cut, fastened with handsome buttons, the newer rain-cloak resembles rather the picturesque dust-cloak of the summer, and, of course, they can be used for weather means dirty weather, and we scarcely care to veil q smart gown with sojled cloak.
 Hence dust-cloalIs and waterproofa can be of the same style. but whereas the dnst-cioak for wear in a month or iwot should be pale in color. the rain. cloak had best be dark as possible. less daintily lined.

 For the present our use of founces is most cautious: they are generally adopt e1 when a lady anticipates fashion in the extreme slimness of her skirts and then rather repents her of her temeri- ty. But of late many dresses have ar rived here from Paris ateiiers which are tucked from the hips to the feet. And tucks in skirts of the bell shape are not unlike eased bias founces in general effect.

patent feathers are worn considerably
with full dress.
The most popular material for full
dress suits Just now is unfinished
worsteds. This cloth makes a soft,
beautiful garment which, according to
one tailor, will not get shiny in ten
years. Most men do not get evening
clothes every year or even every two
years, and in some respects the wor-
sted will therefore fill a long felt want.
The tail of the coat is cut to about two
inches above the knee and the collar
is faced to the edge with silk in which
there Is a well defined twill. Some
tailors are making evening coats with
velvet collar, but 1t seems unlikely
that this style IwllF6btain much favor.
The bottom of the vest Is cut V-shaped
and should show but two studs to be in
the best style. Vests of the same ma
terial as the coat and the trousers are
of course always made, but very often
white silk vests with small figure
are worn, especially at formal func-
tons. Some men wear p1que vests, but
If white waistcoat is worn it should
be one made of white silk.
FOR AFTERNOON WEAR.
Prince Albert coats, which are the
only ones that should be worn at af
ternoon social affairs, have undergone
no change within the last few months.
They are faced to the button holes with
silk and are cut an inch or two above
the knee. Tailors say they should be
cut rather loosely, but many customers
insist upon having them made rather
closely to the figure. Trousers with a
fine light colored stripe are considered
the most stylish and in the best taste
for a Prince Albert suit.
The ever-popular three-button cut
away coat is cut about thirty-fve
inches in length for a man Of average
build. With the cutaway, as with the
Prince Albert, trousers of a different
pattern should be worn. The trousers
for all kinds of suits should be cut
about eighteen inches at the knee and
a little more than an inch smaller at
the bottom. Double breasted sack

a man goes to the furnishing store for
his spring underwear he will find pat
terms to match the socks now on sale.
Winter underwear, however, is very
quiet in its colors, being made up in
natural grays and solid dark blues.
Heavy hosiery is also Of a decidedly
dark tone, only the lighter weights ap-
pearing in the fantastic plaids.
The haberdasher has nothing new
to offer In shirts. The most approved
thing for full dress is the open front
shirt with two button holes for the
studs The most extreme style dictates
that the cuffs should be attached.
Whether the cuffs be attached or de-
tached they should have round cor
ners The studs and link cuff buttons
should, of course, be very plain, and
should be made of gold or enamel. The
latter is coming back into greater favor
than it has enjoyed for some time.
