woMAN,s SIGH FoRAPockET

How dear to this heart are the old fashioned dresses When fond recollection presents them to viewl in fancy 1 see the old wardrobes and presses Which held the loved gowns that in sirlhood 1 knew; The wide spreading mohair, the silk that hung The straw colored satin, with trimmings of brown; The ruffled foulard, the pink organdie nigh it, But, oh, for the pocket that hung in each gown The old fashioned pocket, the obsolete pocket, The praiseworthy pocket that hung in each gownl That dear, roomy pocket I'd hail as a treasure Could but behold it in gowns of today. I'd find 1t the source of exquisite pleasure. But all my modistes sternly answer me "Nayl" 'Twould be so convenient when going out shopping,
 Twould hold my small purchases coming from town, And always my purse or my kerchief I'm dropping. Oh, me, for the pocket that hung in my gown The old fashioned pocket, the obsolete pocket, The praiseworthy pocket that hung in my gownl A gown with pocketl How fondly I'd guard itl
 Each day ere I'd don it I'd brush it with caros Not full Paris costume could make me dis. card it,
 Though trimmed with the laces an empress
 might wear. But have nc hope, for the fashion is banished. The tear of regret will my fond visions drown. As fancy reverts to the days that have van
 ished
 sigh for the pocket that hung in my gown The old fashioned pocket, the obsolete pocket. The praiseworthy pocket that hung in my
 gown.

The Latest Models.

The newest imported models, says New York fashion writer, furnish va riety in skirts that is at least note- worthy as an exhibition of the dress de- signer's ingenuity, but whether or not they will on this side the water banish the plain sheath fronted skirt, minus all decorations, from all but the several styles of tailor gown remains to be found out later on, when dressmakers begin to busy themselves in earnest with spring gowns. One of the very old styles revived is the demitrained evening dress, finished with long, slender pep lum points, the skirt of one rich ma terial, the long points of another. These two fabrics are repeated on the bodice to complete the double effect Silk braid put on cloth skirts on wide trellis pat terms, this trimming covering more than half the depth of the skirt, is very popular garniture. This elaborate and stylish effect is carried out on the full b1puse waist often front and back, or the crossing braids appear only on tho fronaef . full blouse vest worn beneath an open jacket made of the cloth.

Pioneer Women Journalists.

Of the 37 newspapers in the Ameri- can colonies at the time of the Revo- lution, says K. Cora Deputy in The Household Realm, several were owned and managed by women.
 The first newspaper published in Rhode Island was owned and edited by Mrs. Anna Franklin and established in 1732. She and her two daughters wrote the items and set the type, and their servants worked the printing press. For her 1uiekness and correctness Mrs. Franklin was appointed printer to the colony. supplying pamphlets to the colonial officers. In 1772 Clementine Reid was publishing paper in Virginia called the Virginia Gazette, favoring the colonial cause and greatly offending the royalists. Two years later Mrs H. Boyle started paper under the same name advocating the cause of the crown. Both were published at Will hamsburg, and both were short lived.
 In 1773 Elizabeth Timothy started 8 paper i'll Charleston. After the Revolu. tion Anna Timothy became it's editor and was appointed state printer, which position she held for IT years. About the same time Mary Crouch started 8 paper in Charleston in vigorous opposi- tien to the stamp act. She afterward moved it to Salem. Mass, and contin, ned its publication for many years.

DENNIS RARE COINS,
The Veteran Ball Player Has Some
Store Open Evenings.

The Veteran Ball Player Has Some of
 the Rarest American Specimens.
 Jerry Denny, of Denny's Inn, Derby. has dollar of the United States coin- age of 1793, a 1796 half-cent and several half cents of 1894 in his collection of coins A complete collection of Ameri- can speciments is also unknown, and only coin collectors appreciate the diffl- culty of making one. Denny has prob ably the best local collection.
 The United States coinage of 17a3 is very rare and a dollar of the year 1794 has often sold for as much as $100. A 1796 half cent Is so rare as to sell read lily for $15, and a half dollar of the same year is worth sixty times it's original value. While the half cent of 1894 Is common enough, all the other coins of that year are rare, the dollar of that particular date being the rarest of all American coins. Only eight are known to exist out of the 19.57O that were coin- ed. The lowest price that one of these now changes hands for is $S00.-Derby News.

IN IMPRESSITE FARMING,

If the Spaniards rush into war 1T will
not be without warning, and warning
from one whom they ought to have
some confidence in. Senior Genaro
Olas, who is considered in Spain the
first writer on military subjects, no
longer ago than March II told his
countrymen what would happen to
them If they We're foolish enough to
fight "the Yankees" He said: Sup
pose that at the beginning Of the war
we sink the whole Yankee fleet and
even lombard with success two or
three Yankee ports. Will it all end
there? Oh, no. The Americans will
not stand it, and the nation that from
1861 to 1865 put in arms more than o.
100000 soldiers, raised powerful fleets,
spent $4,000 900, 1000 and lost nearly the
same amount, will make such efforts
then that, in spite of all my respect for
Spanish patriotism, I cannot believe
that Spain will be able to stand against
it, And further: The whole war will
be reduced to this: The Yankees will
provide the insurgents with arms and
ammunition, blockade the ports of
Cuba, and starve to death our army
there, that subsists now exclusively on
imported food. What will be the role
Of our navy? To break the blockade in
order to provision our army and In or
der to get coal for itself; because I
suppose that our ships will not come
back to coal in SPAIN That will be all.
AT the start the Yankees may destroy
our whole navy or we may destroy
theirs, but in the long run they will get
the advantage. All other things will
be mere episodes of the war. The pri-
vateers on either side will amount to
nothing in deciding where victory shall
rest.
Senior Olas evidently knows some-
thing about war and also about ''the
Yankees"

lief to those who dread the coming of

justified. The month has been full
enough of turmoil, but the bowling of
the war-dogs has not been accompa-

Spring, and perhaps gentle and fearful
April will fool us this time. And per-

will be proper to say with the poet:

Aprlps coming up the hill!
All the spring is in her train,
Led by shining ranks of rain.
Pit, pat, patter, clatter,
Sudden sun and clatter, patter.
First the blue and then the shower;
Bursting bud and smiling flower;
Brooks set free with tinklng ring;
Birds too full of song to sing;
Crisp old leaves astir with pride,
Where the timid violets hide
All things ready with a will,
Aprils coming up the hill!'

MIR. THompsoN's $4,000 SADDLE,

MIR. THOMPSON'S $4,000 SADDLE.
The richly bespangled saddle of the
Mexican ranchero has finally been
eclipsed. and by an American. The re-
nlarkable saddle which has won this
distinction for the United States Is
owned by D. w. Thompson of Santa
Barbara, Cal, and is worth $4,000. The
silver and gold used in it's decoration
are alone worth $3.50.
While Mr.. Thompson's home Is in
Santa Barbara, he has an extensive
ranch in Ventura county, Cal, and it is
here that he makes use of his nota-
BILE property. The saddle is of royal
typical Mexican pattern, with a high
pommel, well followed seat, and the
most elaborate of trappings.
The work was done in Santa Bar
bara under Mr.. Thompson's own sup
ervision, and is such as only the Span
ish could produce. The saddle is Of
fine embossed leather, as thick with
silver buttons and rosettes; the POM
mel is incased with silver, the corners
OF the apron are tipped with 1t, and
the stirrups are faced and edged with
silver half an inch thick, deliberately
chased and carved. The saddle-tree is
hung with silver rings to answer the
vaquero's requirements.
The girth which secures the saddle in
place is woven from horses names by
native artisans, and Is fully eight In
ches broad, The reins, martingale, and
whip are composed OF solid silver in
woven strands. The headstaI is COW
cred with f1uted silver, with large sill
yer rosettes at the side and an elabor-
ate nose piece with a silver chain I'M
der the jaw. The bride, reins, and ac-
cessories weigh about twelve pounds.
Every year Mr.. Thompson adds
something to the exquisite beauty and
value Of the saddle, although it has
already cost a sum which represents a
very comfortable yearly income. Cal
