Some one, at an early hour this
morning, seeing some tempting
pies in the window of the Rosebud
Restaurant, took it into his head
that it was a good time to fill up
and he took a rock or stick and
hammered out one of the glasses.
Mr.. Ike Anderson was on the inside
at the time aud he made a grab
for the door to catch the rascal,
out found it locked and the key
taken out and the one who did the
mean trick made his escape. He
forgot to take a pie with him when
he left and this shows that be not

Well, the lumbermen have come
and gone, and no doubt carried
back home with them several
sweet memories of courtesies re-
ceived at the hands of our lumber
men here, notably the trip given
them to Stamps by Messrs William
Buchanan and w. T. Ferguson,
both large stock holders in the
mill. Aside from the delegates,
some two hundred strong, the fol-
lowing Texarkanians were guests
of the gentlemen named above,
and they Jared sumptuously while

As a high gloss is no longer popular, the

There are hundreds OF small devices
for finishing up collars after being

novel dampeners. which moisten the col

collar passes between disc wheel and a

HOW WRITERS WORK.
Seems Sort of Queer to Everyday
Folks


Folks.
Joaquin Miller tells of the different ways
the writer people have of doing their
work. 'As to the position of the body
when at work, that is as you please.
generally found George Eliot doubled up
on sofa. her legs up under her, heaps
of rugs and pad on her lap. / read that
Mrs. Browning always wrote in bed. Har-
riet Prescott Spofford writes on pad in
her lap in the parlor. under the trees with
a party, takes part in the talk as she
writes, and is generally the brightest of
the company.
Lady Hardy told me that she could
only write with her face to the blank wall
while Miss Braddon. the prolific. showed
me her desk. powered in her Richmond
Hill garden. where she wrote to the song
of birds about forty popular novels.
Il find that men differ quite as widely
in their preference of place and attitude
But it is to be noted that each person
has preference. and this preference
must be respected to have the best re-
suit. For instance. Anthony Trollope, a
ponderous man, always wrote standing
straight as a post to high desk. his
watch before him, beginning always at a
certain moment and ending exactly the
same. That watch would have landed me
in a madhouse.
Bret Harte is equally exacting and or
derly. He once told me that the first line
was always a cigar. and sometimes two
cigars. 1 reckon Walt Whitman could
write anywhere. l once was with him on
top of Fifth Avenue omnibus. above a
sea of people, when he began writing on
the edge of newspaper, and he kept it
up for half an hour. although his elbow
was almost continuously tangled up with
that of the driver.
''As for myself. l can write but in one
place and in one position, and but at one
certain time. Yet this may be all a habit
AT the same time l must respect this
habit of preference to do my work as duty
demands. In the first place, then, a good

SUFFRAGE SHOES.
Fashion ProcInims Her Right to
Wear Mems Footwear.


We have heard so much-and have
heard 1t so long-about the stout and
sensible shoes that English women wear
that we have come to almost think that
the English woman's rosy checks and
splendid health. are due alone to the
shoes she wears. At any rate we have
been considering stout shoes for long
time, and last Winter many a woman
wore shoes made on the same last as
boys shoes.
This call for boys" shoes for women
set dealers to thinking and manufactu-
rers to making, and the result is that
the shops are showing shoes exactly like
those made for men, only in sizes small
enough for women.
No more Wet feet, and no more abomi-
nable rubbers unless it is terribly ra.ny
The new walking shoes for women
come up no higher than those worn by
men-about five inches-and are made of
the same grades of leather.
A mans shoe is made to allow the foot
to lie fiat and rest as easily as possible.
The ordinary woman's shoe permits the
upper to stretch over the sole and after
short wearing the shoe is out of shape.
According to reliable dealer '.it is
three to four years since our first orders
for mems shoes for women made indi-
viduaily began to come in. This Spring,
however, the demand became so common
that we determined to order line This

The high shoes won't be altered an iota
In shape, either. They will come up no
higher on the ankle than the mems shoes
do, being only five inches high, against
the seven or seven and a half inches that
is the usual height for a woman's boot.
We even have orders from women for
mems and boys evening pumps, patent
feathers, because those women who have
got accustomed to wearing their day

LADY HELEN VINCENT.
She Is Considered the Hnndsomest
Woman in EurOpe

Woman in Europe.
Lady Helen Vincent is one of the beau
tiful sisters of one of those beautiful
Irish families that have, like the Gun
nings, both surprised and delighted Lon
don society. There were originally four
Duncoube sisters in all, daughters OF
the earl and countess of Feversham.
The eldest, Hermione. married the Duke
of Leinster. enjoyed the reputation Of
being as lovely of character as she was
fair of face and unhappily died q very
few years ago.
The second sister Cynthia. is married
to Sir Richard Graham. Lady Helen Vim
cent is herself the third daughter, while
the fourth is Lady Ulrica Duncombe,
who devotes herself chiefly to her studies
at Girton and her little Leinster nephews.
OF these four women Lady Helen Vim
cent is as purely blonde as the others are
dark of hair and eyes. Nine years ago.
when just out of the school room, she
married Sir Edgar Vincent, a diplomat,
and since then she has lived in Vienna
and Constantinople, where her husband
has been stationed. In both these cities she
has held a very prominent position among
both the English and native residents,
rot only on account of her beauty and
wealth and her husbands high place, but
because of her wit and culture.
Along with her sisters Lady Helen re-
ceived an unusually perfect education
for a woman who depended solely upon
governesses and tutors. and developed
peculiar gift for languages. She speaks,
writes and reads five tongues besides her
own, and one of these is Turkish. From
her mother she inherited a good fortune.

and perfect shoulders are their especial
pride wear tied about the throat the
narrowest bit Of black baby velvet ribbon
that can be had, on which very small
heart of diamonds is strung. The heart
is so made of dazzling. close-set little
jewels that no metal shows anywhere
while another pretty method is to string

enamel. with a small heart outlined omit
in diamonds. The whole ornament is no
larger than a twenty-fve-cent piece, but

necklaces. With high necked gowns these
