This talk Of wal. we're havin' now reminds
me of the fun
Some of us thought that war would be, back
there in 81;
The woods were full of fellows then who
hollered day and night,
And tried to make the folks believe they
fairly ached to fight,
But when good Father Abraham sent out
his call for men
The fellows that had screeched before were
mighty quiet then.
never heard of Grant or Meade or Sheri-
dan before
The time arrived for men to act--tlll
streams were red with gore;
/ never heard of any Of the men who rose
to fame
time for action camel
guess the Shermans and the Grants had
nothin' much to say
Before the day had come for men to plunge
into the fray!
Now, there was Ebenezer Webb, who lived
in our town;
] tell you he knew how to put the worst
rebellion down!
For months and months before that time to
shoulder muskets came
He fairly howled for war and swore his
soul was all atiame;
But when that dismal day arrived that men
The folks were shocked to hear that Ell
had lost his little toe.
My cousin Cyrus, too, was fierce before the
war began:
He ripped and tore and carried on Just like
| a crazy man;
He'd hang around the grocery store and
tell what he would do
| If he was In Abe Lincoln's place-and folks
| believed him, too,
And cheered the things he said, unul the
time for fighting came
| nv Taryr ha " nro
| he was lame!
The only man from our town who won Q
| pair of stars
Was Henry Gray, who never claimed to be
| son of Mars;
He'd merely stood around, without war
| like word to say,
But when they wanted men to fight, he
boldly marched away
| | have to smile when / recall some howlin
| that was done
Before the guns began to belch, back there
| in 81!

The sleeve is not suited to any but a
very dressy garment, unless it is for
NAL neglige.
In the earlier part of the present re-
vival of fashionableness for plaids the
barred goods was used untrimmed or
with very little ornamentation when
it was the main fabric of a skirt or
bodice. The reasoning was, and it was
logical at that time, that the beauty
of the weave was sufficient to set off
the garment without Celebrations of
cut or scheme. Now we have become
used to plaids of eye-testing brightness
as trimmings and as whole bodices,
skirts of bright plaids in horse blanket
squares are not few and now the
dressy gown that is of plaid may be
as much elaborated as If it were of
plain material. For illustration of this
take the costume the artist presents
here. 1t was of green and black plaid
silk, the skirt having band at each
side of gray silk covered with black
chiffon. This was gathered into tiny
rows at regular intervals, leaving the
lower part free in the width of a good
sized fiounce bordered at it's lower end
with a black satin ribbon. The bodice
was slashed, bloused in front and was
edged with narrow chiffon ruching.
The cut-out was filled in with shirred
chiffon, which also supplied the sleeves.
A green belt, with long sash ends. did
its share in proving the costume signi-
ficant of change in standards, for 1t
was not long ago we were assured that
sSshes were best upon plain skirts.
EWhen an outer blouge of cloth is
slashed zig-zag to show the material
beneath the edges of the zig-zags are
latticed together by braid, cord or rib
bon. A blouse that seems to fasten
nowhere is slashed like hot-cross- bun

right across the bust, the slash show

terial, the edges being latticed together
by ribbon that really passes through
button-holed eyelets, Such devices are
ornamental, but they cut up materials
in manner that invariably suggests
slaughter of innocents.

FASHION NOTES.
New Standards for PIaids.

Some of the newer velvet coats are
made with tight velvet sleeves that
suddenly spread into a very wide cuff,
which is turned back to show a satin
facing. The cuff is so big that the eff
feet about the hand Is that made by a
leg o mutton sleeve, and the contrast
with the tightness Of the sleeve Is
marked. Frills of lace are set inside
the cuff. This same sleeve is put on
the velvet tea gown that is being so
approved, though it is rather late in
the season to be going in for velvet.

y The Chinese have a good illustration
OF perseverance. A Chinaman who had
been making strenuous efforts to &C
quire literary information, discouraged
by difficulties, at last gave UP his book
in despair. AS he returned to manual
employment he saw a woman rubbing
a crowbar on stone; on inquiring the
reason she replied that she was in want
Of needle and thought she would rub
down the crowbar till she got it small
enough. The patience of the aged wo-
man provoked him to make another

"A farm colony Is talked Of in New
York. Young men between the ages of
16 and 80 years could be sent there, it
is thought, whom the courts have to
deal with for vagrancy. These per-
sons might be detained at the farm
colony for time not exceeding three
years. During this period they might
be taught horticulture, agriculture and
other useful industries. They might be
discharged on parole; they might even
be given compensation, and be brought
back into the colony If parole man
were proved to have broken the terms
of his discharge. The bill providing for
such an institution was introduced in
the Senate by Senator Frank D. Pavey.
It was suggested and planned by the
members of the State Charities Aid AS
ISOLATION. Mrs. Charles r. Lowell the
chairman of the committee on vagran-
cy, says of the reasons for this meas
ure that at present a magistrate can
only commit young man charged
with vagrancy to the workhouse, where
he can learn nothing good or helpful,
and whence he comes forth worse than
he went in.

To relieve an overcrowding of chill

Detroit schools the plan of halliday
sessions is being adopted. There is OPP
position, of course, but to the objection
from few that children limited to one
school session daily are deprived of a
part of the educational opportunity due
to them, answer is made by quoting
from reports of school officials, made
at a time, some years ago, when, under
conditions similar to those existing
now, halliday sessions were introduce
ed. Those reports speak SO highly of
the beneficial results from the plan as
to create wonder that it was not con-
tinued. The superintendent reported
that the children in the halliday

Besides the income tax there is in
Prussia, though not in the rest of Ger
many, tax on capital, as upon land
and household property. All fortunes
under $500 are exempt from taxation.
The minister Of finance has just pub

for 1897, and these reflect a picture Of
the financial condition of the well-to-

small capitalists. The aggregate wealth
Of those liable to taxation amounted to
$4,000, 600, 900, an increase upon 1896 Of
more than aS27 100000 Of this sum
$4,000, 900, 900 goes tn the credit of the

CRUSH IN A CLOTHING STORE
LISHMENT WAS CROWDED
ALL DAY
Dealing Brought Buyers When a
Closing Out Sale Was Announced.

The Firms Reputation for Fair
Dealing Brought Buyers When a
Closing Out Sale Was Announced.
The crowds of people at L. G.. Hoff-
mann & Co.'S clothing store, Seventh and
Robert streets, yesterday showed the
avidity of the public to take advantage
Of a bargain. The firm Is closing out
the stock of L. G. Hoffman & Co., and
prices have gone to smash. AS much
as q rs per cent discount is to be had
on much of the wearing apparel and
furnishing goods in the large stock.
For two weeks preparations were 60
ing on for the anticipated big sale, but
the crush and jam of purchasers was
out of all proportions to the expectancy
of the firm.
When the doors opened in the morn
ing the people began f1ocking in the
store, and by noon steady stream
of buyers poured in and out. Half a
dozen policemen were necessary to keep
the people in line, and inside the store
the clerks We're busy as the tradi-
tionai bees. Everybody wanted to be
waited upon at once, and the efficient
corps of clerks almost filled the de-
nland.
The firms reputation for fair deal
ing was a guarantee to those making
purchases, and all were anxious to
avail themselves of the opportunity to
lay in a supply Of clothing at unusual
ly low prices.
Mr.. Hoffman, has associated himself
with the largest clothing firm in the
state, and before engaging in his new
field must dispose Of his stock on hand.
This is being done regardless of sac
rifice, and the jammed store yesterday
clearly evidenced the confidence pur-
chasers have in the word of the firm
that a sacrifice sale is going on. Mr..
Hoffman, estimated that no less than
5000 people visited the store yesterday.
The stock must be sold by Oct. 10, and
from now on the firm is ready to take
care of just as large crowds of buyers
as Yesterday thrOnged the store.

This petition was dismissed without
prejudice. Subsequently, during the a.h-
sence from the city of Judge Kelly. the
Allemannia bank reorganization came
before Judge Willis and such proceed
ings were had as to permit the bank
to reopen according to stipulated plans.

filed to preserve the record. but he

But c. K. Sharood's resignation as

There is more trouble brewing for
the party in Morrison county.
The Republicans Of the district have
renominated w. M Fuller. although 1t
was not without a hard fight over G.
B. Buchanan, in which Fuller was ably
seconded in his efforts by the North
ern Pacific influence.
Buchanan threatens to run independ-
emily and, as the former Sank Rapids
nan is campaigner OF dash, vim and
experience, he may give Fuller hard
run. Buchanan will be supported by
the lumbermen to a man, and the Re
publicans fear a bolt on this account,
as Eustis and the state ticket are. al
ready weak in that class of Minnesota
citizens.
There has been some talk about a
combination to send in an anti-Fuller
ticket. but it is doubted in many quar-
ters whether Buchanan would accept
an Endorsement from the Democrats or
POpulists. He is bitter however,
against Fuller, and declares be will
stick in the fight to a finish.
Meantime the friends of J. II. Koop,
of Brainerd, are quietly grooming him
for the house nomination. Koop has
lived on the edge of the pine forests
y
cessful business man, and his friends
say can carry the district. Mr.. Cole, of
Motley, is also suggested as a possible
nominee for the larger house.
If either of these men should be NOM
mated and the union parties should
have blank in the senatorship, the
chances are that Fuller would be
thrown in the air, as the saying is, al
though he is a hard fighter and Buck
man would have no snap
