was Capt. John III. Harris, who served
In the Revolutionary war. His young
mistress, Isabella, married Capt. Luke
Pryor, a lawyer Of Athens, Ala, who
still lives at that place. and is between
80 and 30 years of age. Sam was given
to her upon the occasion Of her mar
riage, and thus became Pryor.
Elder Sam lives upon the Pryor place
and Is great favorite with the fam
lily. He has been preaching the Gospel
over eighty-one years, and is Baptist
missionary. When asked how he came
to be a preacher, he said that he re-
ceived call from the Lord eighty-one
years ago the second Sunday of last
May. saF
But how did you know that you
were called?
when God converts man he knows
It," was the reply, "and when he calls
a man to preach the Gospel he knows

bodice as the costume; or it will do
with just front and sleeve protectors
being inserted, and will become not a
jacket but part of the costume. The
blouse can be worn jacket fashion,
half open, with any other cloth dress.
In the original design, the one the ar
list sketched, several long ribbon
shaped slashes from the bust line down
TIC the edge Of the blouse disclosed the
silk lining and similar Sits were made
in the skirt. These were left out of the
making-over project because the blouse
so frightened would not have looked as
well for general service as jacket.
The last of these dresses, house
gown Of blue cashmere, shows a COM
mendable improvement upon the bolero
that Is generally adopted this season,
which is proved by the fact that bolero
fronts are more usual now than entire
boleros. This Is because of the cutoff
line ut the back. which Is not becoming
to most figures and the points of the
bolero I'm front, as rule, dip down. In
some cases these points fall sharply be-
low the belt. in which case the reproach
that bolero shortens the figure can
not be advanced.

rows of this trimming apps AIRED on each

shoulder finish for the tight sleeves.
Beneath the jacket was cerise blue
blouse, and the space between the
fronts was filled with a long chiffon tie,
large bow framing the chin daintily.
The left hand dress In the next sketch

the skirt. There were two panels of
bright green velvet, and these were
emphasized by delicate embroidery

caps, belt and slashes at the darts, all
showing the bright velvet, and here
again was the tracery of gilt. This
gowns most singular feature, one that
would be apparent only in front view,
was that the skirt panels were of une
dual lehgths. The other velvet trimmed
rig of this quartet was at the opposite
side of the picture. The skirts one
panel was outlined with several rows
Of stitching. The goods was cheviot In
a new shade of fawn. and the velvet
of panel vest and insertions on bodice

tone. Braid and tiny buttons also
trimmed the front and the belt was tan

The; United States Senate should
promptly ratify the Hawaiian annex
alton treaty next December.
For fifty years past the policy of the
United States has been to exclude 9TH
Ter nations from the political control OF
Hawaii Secretary of State Webster

session, (of HawaiD; but II they do, they
win be dislodged, IL my advice is taken,

The riding habit At girl has the field
all to herself just now, for II out of
any group OF women you find one with
a perfectly plain tight bodice, 1t will be
worth remarking. If the bodice is not
some sort of a blouse, then II Is elab-
grated by vest. or 1t has bolero
likely to give vest effect to the portion
that shows mt the bolero's opening.
The notifications Of the blouse are
numberless, and the bolero has been
merged into the blouse so cunningly
that the grace Of each cut is retained.
Thus II you think the bolero Is "cut
off, and ungraceful, you can secure the
length under the arm and at the back
and the loose drawn folds Of the blouse.
while II you haven't quite enough stun
to complete an entire blouse, or II you
want vest effect, you can cut away
the front In jacket fashion, making
fastening or not as you like and allow

found In new gowns, one OF which. in
