Black Skirt with Fancy Waist,

The question: What is the fashion
able black skirt to wear with the fancy
waist?" is perhaps more often asked
than any other by the woman who
makes one skirt answer for many oc-
casions. In reply it may be asserted
that rich black satin is given the pref
erence where only one skirt is found
in the wardrobe of the questioner. But
if you already have that, then plain
black tatfeta, often much trimmed from
waist to hem, is the newest and most
fashionable. But word of warning
This not only is an extravagant pur
chase, but after comparatively few
wearings will split, even where there
is no real strain.-Woman's Home Com
panion.

MADE THE BURGLAR WORK.
A Night WatchInan Terrorized the Marau
der with an IJploaded Revolver.

A Night Waterman TerrOrized the Marau-
der with an Unloaded Revolver.
A very large and hopeful burglar,
with a gunny sack in which to carry
away his plumber, pried off the scuttle
cap of a cellar belonging to the Menlo
Park Manufacturing company the other
night and dropped lightly down into
the vault beneath, says the New York
Herald. When his eyes became accus-
toned to the gloom he found man
who had heard him coming standing in
heroic attitude with revolver pushed
in his face.
The one was the night Waterman
and engineer of the building up
with your hands," said he, and up the
burglars hands went as if they had
been trained to the business and had
done nothing else all their lives.
The position was a pleasant one for
the night Waterman. All he had to do
was TO keep his pistol in position and
wait till morning, when fifty workmen
would rush in, bind the prisoner and es-
cort him in triumph to the nearest jail.
But who was to look after the fires?
This thought occurred to him after
about an hour had passed, and the bur-
glars hands had grown white through
holding them up too long and letting
the blood get emptied out.
''See here" said the engineer, eff ]
turn my back on you to attend to the
furnaces you'll pick up bit of coal or
something and hit me a biff on the
head, steal everything in the house and
then go home to your family"
The burglar said nothing, but looked
a lot
"Then," went on the engineer eff l
don't attend to the furnaces the place'll
blow up, or the sueam'lI go down, and
then there'l be all sorts of things to
pay"
Better let me go home to me poor
mudder," the burglar suggested, look
ing hopefully up to the scuttle cap.
That seemed the only way out of it.
The engineer thought and thought,
keeping the revolver cooked the while.
Suddenly he burst out with:
''Say! Did you ever fire a furnace?''
"Naw," quoth the burglar. elem
me go home to me mudder"
"Well, get move on you, you son of
a pirate. Take that shovel and put the
coal in. Now turn the fires. Don't YOU
know how to turn fires? Well, you've
got five hours to learn. Hurry up, darn
you, or there's bullet waiting for YOU
here if you DON'T
At the point of the revolver the en-
gineer kept the burglar working all
night. When he wasn't busy at the
coal he kept him polishing up the brass
work, and after he had finished the
brasswork he made him swab the floor
and empty out ashes. The burglar ad-
mitted that he hadn't done any work
for five years. When the workmen
came in the morning and took him off
to the police station he almost tainted
from exhaustion.
The engineer said to his wife when
he went home: Lucky thing all
round, isn't it, that that blamed bur-
glar didn't notice my pistol wasn't
loaded

can Commercial Traveller.
The commercial traveller in England
is little different from his American
brother, pursuing the same line of pol
icy in getting there so far as secur-
ing trade is concerned, says Hardware
His invariable rule, however, is that
his first price given to a local merchant
is his last and, only one. There is no
going in the morning with an offer,
and then in the afternoon with an ex-
ira inducement to make the trade.
This being the invariable rule, it saves
much labor and apprehension in the
mind of the buyer that he has not done
so well as he could have done with
more diplomacy.
Everything is done for the comfort
of the traveller, and at the hotels a
special department called the COM
mercial room is set apart for his eX-
elusive use. In this room smoking is
prohibited until nine D. M, place be-
ing devoted to that purpose at other
times. The traveller takes his meals
in the commercial room, the dinner be-
ing a set affair in which all travellers
in the house generally participate
The oldest man is at the head of the
table, and is called the president; while
at the foot is the youngest man, and
he is termed vice president.
