JOHNNY, THE FIT-THROWER.

Promising Candidate for tho Yellow

There lives in West 51st street a very
wicked small boy, His name is with
held because his PARENTS are worthy
folk and they would not like publicity
given to the deeds Of their offspring,
says the New York Mail and Express.
About 51st street this youth is known
as Johnny, the Fit-Thrower." His
specially is having fits whenever the
crap game goes against him and his
funds are low. He goes into a public
place and has a fit. Those who had
observed Johnny noticed that he al
ways had fit when some particularly
benevolent appearing lady was passing
and that the benevolent ladies invar
lably gave the poor, little afflicted boy
10 cents to get home.
1t was also noticed that johnny never
had fits when the crap game was com
ing his way" as he expressed it, The
conclusion was obvious-Johnny had
hts Tor revenue only. The other morn

IN NAPLES STREETS.
Il-Assorted Beast of Eursien Abound
Goats and Cows,

The streets of Naples present mere
curious sights, probably, than do those
of any other civilized city in western
Europe. Most curious OF all, perhap s,
is the street traffic, with iII-assorted
animals and ludicrausly. matched teams
attached to most grotesque vehicles
and vans, says writer in the Boston
Herald. Recently in the Via di Roma,
which is the main shopping thorough
rare in Naples, l encountered a sort
OF dray or wagon drawn by three All
mails abreast. A small horse was in
the center. with mule on one side
and COW on the other. Not an OK,
mind you, but cow Oxen are as
common as mules in Naples, while dom
keys are almost as much used as
hOrses--the latter, however, very
wretched looking beasts. Next in num-
Der to the horses. donkeys and mules,
are the goats that roam about every,
street in Naples at all hours of the
day. The Neapolitan goat generally
resembles the ordinary red COW in
color, although black and gray goats
spotted ones that remind me in color of
an Irish setter. These goats not only
amble through the principal streets of
Naples in the most unrestrained fash
ion, but they nestle in small Tor large,
as the case may be) groups on the
sidewalk against the buildings and
hang about the entrances to the big
n0ISpS in which fhoi~
waiting to be MIXED I am told it is
also customary for them to ascend four
or five long flights of the great stone
staircases that are built into the or
binary Neapolitan tenement dwelling
houses, where they also present them
selves to their owners for the purpose
above stated. All this diversified street
traffic presents an anomalous scene,
especially when in it's midst one sees
many handsome carriages and beat
tiful horses. as well turned out and
groomed as those in Hyde Park itself
That is the ludicrous part of the scene
the contrast presented by the splen-
did thoroughbreds and smart carriages,
the shaky cabs and their wretchpd
starvedlooking horses, the fat donkevs
and ugly mules, the pretty little ponies
so frequently driven in pairs to
small yellow phaeton, the in-assorted
pairs of all sorts of animals. the cow
driven by herdsman. the goats wan
dering along by themselves the
beggars overstepping them all in num-
Der and noise.

RAN SOM,

S. w. Parry, 1 am told has sold his
threshing outfit to the Shaw Bros. of
Little Rock. The Shaw boys are old
threshers. aud ought to make sue
cess of it.
The new depot at Worthington is a
very handsome building, and the
citizens feel quite proud of it, as we'll
they may. Its seems to he model
both of tast and convenience.
E. Manska, I learn, has rented, for
next season, the 5. E. j of sec. H.;
the &. W. Dow place. John Sprae le
who has farmed the place the past
season, has not yet fully decided
what he will do, but it is likely he
will remain in the neighborhood.
John Brazil, who rented the Me-
Cam place this season had the mis-
fortune the other day to have two
stacks of wheat burned. The fire
was started by the threshing engine
owned by VIM. Yahn, was threshing
for Mr.. Brazil. They we're just draw
ing the separator up to the setting,
and fortunately they were able to get
it away without any damage being
done to it. There were four stacks
in the setting, but, The wind being
favorable, two of them were saved.
This is the first case of the kind in
the neignborhood this season.
Before ills appears in print the
election will be over, which will
mean to some the realization of fond
hopes, to others, it will bring, per-
haps, keen disappointment. This
will always be the case, ever. In the
race for public Office there must al
ways be losers as we'll as winners. If
the race has been conducted honor
ably, defeat need not cause any bit
terness; and the losers may console
themselves with the the thought that
the wheel Of fortune is ever turninR
and that, perhaps, the next time
they may be on top. And If the con con
test has been an unfair one and we:
have been defeated. as we think,

kind of lace is used lavishly In the trim
mings of the corsage.
A chic gown made on these lines had a
transparency of violet taffeta in rather an
irtense shade. The tunic made of an ex-
quieite old black lace shawl was draped
so that one of the points at the front of
the skirt was longer than those at the

The corsage of the taffeta was trimmed
with the same lace arranged to give the
effect of a short bolero with a full jabot

A dressy gown of soft cream Spanish
lace was made over a transparency of
cream eurah. The underskirt of lace
was made with a slight train and was
trimmed around the bottom with two
rows of black gauze ruches. The tunic

the front and was trimmed like the skirt
with black ruches.
The lace corsage was a blouse, opening
over a vest of apricot China silk shirred

a narrow ruche of the black gauze. Round

As fall advances lace, instead of being
discarded, becomes more popular. 1t is
as though the woman of fashion were
drawing her feecy web close around her at
the first approach of cold.
Lace has been the popular garniture
of the gauzy mousseline de sole and chif
fon gowns for two OF three seasons.
stealthily it has crept into favor and Low
holds first place among the materials for
dressy summer and fall toilettes.
Lace gowns are as much in vogue ss
they were ten or twelve years ago, and
this season one notices the poplar Nene-
tian and Spanish lace woven I'm larger

They are not the sombre black affairs
that they were an days gone by; for some
bright shade of taffeta often serves for
the transparency to the black lace. and
the cream lace gowns that are generally
made over the same shade of taffeta
boast no end OF bright touches Of ribbon
and velvet.
Some such charming lace gowns are
made of old lace shawls that are admira-
bly, transformed into tunlcs by the coutu
riers. The valuable old shawls are so
harshly treated that they can never be
