CHICKEN-FOOT FAD.
Woman at Last Descends to the Barn Yard
to Complete Her Outfit.


to Complete Her Outfit.
Not satisfied with the destruction
she has wrought among the prettily
plumed birds, woman has at last de-
scended to the chicken to complete her
outfit. At first she was satisfied to
have a chickens foot as part of her
boudoir decorations, but now 1t dan
giles from her belt on a chain between
her lorgnettes and stamp box. The fad
was started by West Philadelphia girl
Taking the foot in its natural state
she tied it's three parts with pieces OF
Irvine to the leg, and let it remain for
day in the sun. On removing the
twine the claws retained the form indi-
Gated, having become very stiff. The
energetic "faddist" then made the leg
gold paint. Ribbon is tied to the
strings, which extend through the cen"
ter Of the leg, and it is there hung on
the wall All sorts of dainty articles
can be hung on the claws, making the
new idea both useful and ornamental.
Many girls who learned Of the fad
were not satisfied with Just having one
of the glittering ornaments in their
rooms, so, fastening a chain to the nat
ural strings of the leg, it soon began to
appear among the many articles dang
ling from the belt, with the colors of
the girls favorite college painted near
the top. The demand for the legs is
getting so great that two young wo-
men of West Philadelphia are devoting
all their time to the industry.

the great chemist making the proposition.
He has proved the dreaded consumption

ming of brown cheviot is laid over the up
per portion and extends over the edges of
the full body. Its edges are finished with
two bands of straight brown braid within
which is single band in trefoil effect. The
sleeves are one-seamed and comfortably
loose without being large. At the neck is
straight standing collar trimmed with
braid and showing a narrow frill of lace.
The wrists are completed with straight
cuffs of the brown trimmed in harmony
with, the collar. The skirt is straight and
may be either hemmed or faced. The full
ness at the top is arranged in gathers and
sewed to the band of brown. The band of
cheviot, which makes the decoration, is fin
ished with straight and trefoil braid as is
the plastron ON the waist.
To make this frock for a girl of eight
years will require three yards of forty-four-
inch material with one yard of the darker
color for trimming.

EASILY PLEASED.

The Minneapolis Times is greatly
tickled to know that the midroad Popu-
fists, of Swift county, cannot go upon the
county ballot without petitions. Why,
you darned fool, everybody knew that;
and hence we got $4,000 signatures to our
petitions for our state ticket.
And thereby hangs tail.
The Populists of Swift county were SO
disguised with the loathsome antics of
the fusion convention of June Is, 1898,
that they called themselves thereafter
mid-road Populists. But the libidinous
Democrats were so determined to marry
someone that even this slap in the face
did not daunt them; and they persuaded
a few disgruntled mid-roaders to bolt
the mid-road convention and get up a
mid-road Democratic fusion with them;
and the court very properly rebuked this
performance And the dastardly Times
is proud of it. I. D.

name of the paper from which it was ia
ken. 1t was from the Albert Lea Stand
ard, edited by one Day-a kind of Hole
inthe-Day-who sometimes pretends to
be Populist, the better to stab the
POpulists in the back. He is bad egg
dirty on the shell and rotten in the in
side.
He charged, without scintilla of proof,
that the delegates from Minnesota to the
Cincinnati convention travelled on passes
furnished by Mark Hanna.
The poor men each paid his $12, and
many of them took with them provender
enough to last them four days, because
they could not afford the expense of res
taurants, etc. And these heroes are
dubbed, by a sneaking liar, agents of the
millionaire Mark Hanna. Such scamps
