At least one morning in the week the
intellectual smart set in Washington,
D. c., arises an hour earlier and is
seen vending its way to the Vino
daughis Club, in New York avenue
where. behind closed doors, Miss Janet
Richards posts her fair hearers on all
the topics of interest of the day-poli-
teal, religious, social and literary
that when her audience takes its de-
parture it is enabled to discuss intelli-
gently with priest, layman or politician
subjects of present interest.
A large number of the official set are
among her audience. One busy woman
said
you do not know what a relief it is
to us to come here, for, with all our So
cial duties, it would be utterly impossi-
BILE for us to keep posted on all the top
les necessary for discussion in Official
life here. How awkward it would be
not to be able to speak on these points
with those whom We meet. We are also
instructed in the literature of the day,
and learn what to criticise How could
we keep read up and have time for any
thing else?"

Mrs. Heistand, wife of Major Heis-
tand, U. S. A., an aide of President Nc
Kinley, had assisted in receiving at
tea in a scarlet decOlete gown early in
the season, but the pretty little dark
eyed woman escaped much criticism,
being Lately from the West"
Mrs. Heistand entertained at a tea
only a short time ago, in honor of Miss
Donavin, of New York her guest, Miss
Barber and Miss Mckinley, guests at
the White House. The hostess wore a
gown with high bodice of net over a
low cut satin waist, but not so those
who assisted. Miss Donavins white
satin costume was Partisan, all pearls
and cerise velvet about the low bodice.
Miss Barber wore a low neck gown of
frlled and furbelowed mousseline de
sole; Miss Mabel Mckinley sat at the
foot of the winding stairs and served
smiles and punch. She wore a decolete
gown of lavender silk, with frills of
chiffon, and fringe of artificial vio-
let's dangling about her shoulders. The
violets were criticised because she is
young, and had the White House con-
servatory of fresh flowers to choose
from, but her gown undeniably be
came" her.
No better proof of the official infu-
ence of capital society can be given
than the adoption OF daylight decollete
BY decree of Paris and Vienna, gowns
for evening wear have been growing
higher and higher since the season be-
gan. Even on square cut bcdices, those
mists of millinery, tulle and chiffon
hover, clouding alike the loveliness of
beauty and the wreck of effete fair
hess. The Presidents niece has set
fashion, however, and many here fol-
low it.
Pink shades and palm screened or
chestras may support desired illusion,
but these teas have a garish matinee
air, and when streaks of afternoon
sunshine creep in decollete seems pre-
vious." Some one Las prophesed a re-
turn to fashions of years ago, with low
necked Bingham frocks galore at sew
en- o'clock in the morning.

A JUST DECISION.

ment Melted Out to SO TrOu-
hIeROme m Offender.


Any directory which does not antedate the
7o's, or any up-to-date directory for Lakeport,
N. H., if turned up at the letter c, this
name and occupation will be found Albert
Colby, "a Walnut street, justice of the
peace, special police officer and coroner for
Belknap County. 1t goes without proving
that any gentleman who has the confidence
of the public sufficient to be entrusted with
the duties involved in the above positions
must have ability, tact and Judgment; but
although position is said to be everything
Mr.. Colby's knowledge of law, all his ex-
perience as a coroner, was insufficient to
enable him to get rid of a very annoying
visitor. Perhaps the reader may be bothered
in the same way; if SO, follow the course
adopted by Mr.. Colby and you will obtain
the same result. He says: "Doan's Kidney
Pills are the best kidney medicine without
any exception which l have ever taken. l
worked at railroading for nineteen years.
This, no doubt, aggravated my kidney
trouble, for it kept on getting worse from
year to year until it developed into Brights
disease. In 1855 was conductor, but had
to give it up on account of my back and
kidneys. For ten years l did not know
what it was to be without pain, a sort Of
drawing dead ache. A distressing and very
annoying urinary weakness which made it
necessary to get up as often as four and five
times night, thereby breaking my rest,
accompanied this, and 1 also had feeling
of goneness and sinking in my lower
abdomen. l was in a drug store and had
my attention called to Doan's Kidney Pills,
and after a good deal of persuasion got
two boxes. 1 had practically lost all faith
in medicines and doctors, for ! had spent
over five hundred dollars and yet obtained
little or no benefit. After had finished the
second box l felt better than l had for ten
years. The pain in my back, hips and loins
disappeared. can 60 to bed now and sleep
like log, just as could when boy with
out being disturbed. The gnawing and sink
ing feeling in my lower abdomen is gone and
the secretions of the kidneys are normal. l
will do all I can to let the merits of Doan's
Kidney Pills be known to others. You may
publish my statement, and I will cheerfully
answer all inquiries that may be sent to me
about my case"

cents per box, by all dealers, or sent by mail

The members of the Baltimore Rainy

have their dresses five inches above the
ground. The club has committees to
push the objects of their organization

received the heartiest commentator
from physicians, who urge them to ad-

"She dare do all that doth become a
woman" has been said of Miss Mabel
Mckinley, niece of the President,
whose appearance at Washington after
noon functions has inaugurated the
daylight decollete. That it doth be-

an undisputed fact, for her throat

Advertising in Small Towns.

The wideawake merchant admits that
he does not know it all and gets news
papers from the various cities, and
knows the doings of the successful peo-
pie. lie has certain hour in the day or
week to read the trade journals and
advertising journals. He makes notes of
the schemes, he profits by the expert
ence of others. You make a mistake
when you think your town is an excep-
ton, that it is too small. People are
looking for the best of it in everything,
from "sOup to nuts" The merchant
makes mistake when he does not invest
in catchy cuts, borders, Illustrations, or
does not watch the doings and local hits,
and take advantage of every happening.
do not care where you live, how much
business you do, there is not a merchant
living who can not improve his business
if he will only set down for half an hour
some day and think-think real hard in
vestigate the methods of some of our
prosperous merchants. A dealer in a
town of a thousand, two, three or five
thousand population makes big mis-
take if he thinks he is already doing all
the business that can be done there.
Human nature is the same all over and
with proper Judgment, city methods can
be profitably employed right where you
are.-Sam Davis, in Up-to-Date Ideas.

but two or three years tho pole has
become a universal favOrite and can be
seen in many fields. corrals and stock

The material necessary for the pole
stacker consists of two poles 20 and 80
feet, or longer. as desired. three pull
leys, two chains and two ropes. The
short pole, usually dry red pine or bal
sam, is set about three feet in the
ground after Stats have been nailed on,
or pins driven in auger-holes every two
feet, which makes a. ladder for getting
UP and down when necessary to fix the
top chain or drop the lifting pole. A
short chain is fastened around the
standing-pole and left to drop about
TWO feet. where il hooks around the
stacker. This gives the pole plenty of
play and enables the man on the stack
or wagon to swing II around at will
The long pole is chained NJ the butt end
with chain which regulates the height
Of the stack and holds the stacker in
