HER OPINION OF HIM.
Lawyer Who Was Caught Up With for
Once.

II there is anything exaspcrating in
this life it is the lawyer who delights to
bullyrag and otherwise aespitefuly use
witness, more particularly when thai
witness is n woman, observes the Wash

there is general rejoicing when that
KIND OF attorney is smote hip and thigh
by one of his supposedly helpless victims
vi such is the following tale:
The woman was on the stand and she
was very nice-mannerei. respectable
woman. who kept cheap boarding house
and it was the desire of one of her guests
to be dishonest that had brought her to
the court to make him pay his board.
'How old did you say you We're. mad

son on earth, for an elderly landlady is
no more anxious to lose q board bill than
a young one.

chin: how much did you say the amount

'Twenty-five dollars

The lawyer gave little start of sur

thought of a witness talking like that

POOR GIRLS EDEN.
Chinese Maidens Never Worry Over
Changes in FashiOn.

Chinese Maidens Never Worry Over
Changes in FashiOn.
The Chinese women are to be envied in
at least one particular-they never have
10 worry over the changing of fashions.
In China a new fashion Is looked upon with
distinct disfavor. and no inducement can
be offered to her women 10 exchange their
loose coat and trousers for tiresme petit
cats. China must be the poor girls para
disc, for one costume will do duty until
Il is worn out. Fashion is the bugbear of
the poor girl in this country. If she Is
pretty. well educated and refined. she nat
uraily desires to worthily fill the position
TO which these attributes entitle her, and
she will not attempt it unless she can
have proper gowns and the numerous lit
tie things which go with them. II is an
established fact that the girl with little
money is more apt to be extravagant than
is the wealthy girl who Is not forced TO
care for her own wardrobe. Every con-
yent-bred girl is taught to sew and mend
and many well-dressed women take pride
in the fact that not only their gowns. but
their hats. are the work Of their own
clever fingers. Poor girls often have no
time to do these things. even were they
gifted with ingenuity. and TO such / say
that when your wardrobe is not large,
you make a mistake in buying cheap ma
terial of color which is the fancy of
the hour. If you can have but one new
gown a season. let it be of fabric that
will stand wear. that will make over and
of a color of which neither you nor your
friends will grow weary. 1t is as much
of an extravaganza TO neglect quality and
color as to have your gown made in the
extreme of fashion. for you cannot afford
to throw away your clothes half-worn.

crank Took long trips and thought more
of that wheel than 1 ever did of any other
thing that couldn't talk But what made
me tired was the constant advice given
me by neighbors and friends. One would
tell me to ride before breakfast. and I'd
do SO. Another would come along and
tell me to eat a good. hearty meal when
! first got up, rest for half an hour and
then take spin. I'd try that for while.
A third told me not to ride in the morn
ing at ALL but wait till evening, when
was tired or worried and needed some
thing to divert my thoughts l adopted
that plan At last I went to my doctor
for advice in the premises. and he laugh
ed at me for ten minutes without saying
a word. I'm just waiting for him to send
in his bill The whole thing made me
sick and disgusted so sold out and will
take my exercise some other way
'-Oh, you'll get the fever again and buy
a new wheel"
Not me. I've provided against that by
promising my wife that the next invest
