down stairs know a man whose fla vorite story is telling how huge rat got caught in his mothers hoopskirt. + is story that strikes awe to the fem mine heart, though the feminine brain refuses to accept it, and the feminine mind thinks that the man is telling yarn
 Fashion writers-that is, people who write histories of fashion, learned peo- ple-are prone to say, in describing hoopskirts that they are dignified in effect. Perhaps they are, but to pro- duce dignified effect in one a woman of about feet would be required. No, I may tell the pleasant little woman who wrote that do not think wires or hoopskirts will be worn. Women have been looking too well lately to care to make any great change in their appear ance. The cloth skirt fitting the figure evenly and easily and the handsomely trimmed bodice make not only a smart get up but one that is useful
 The reason I like the tailor made frock is that I believe it to be an in centive to cleanliness. Any girl who wears one likes to have her skin look as white as possible, her hair as tidy, and knowing that her boots show as she WalKS Sne QOeS HOt dI uH- occupied buttonhole, nor Is she satisfied with a broken lace tied into knot. She is particular about her gloves, and if she wears any white linen it is inn maculate. Fashions may come and fashions may go, but the wise woman
 will retain smart looking cloth gown | for street wear because there are a | hundred good reasons for it and not single one against it. By the bye, the letter writing lady also asked some- 1 thing else. She wanted to know, "Do you think a decollete bodice immoral?" That depends. I believe that with low bodice the neck should be white and well shaped, and that the frock should be cut so that the neck and shoulders show modestly.
 A woman may write Sanskrit and speak Greek; she may be at the head of a society for the elevation of wo- men in Africa, and she may know the finest line of difference between furni- ture made in the time of Louis Quinze and that achieved fin the century before, but if she hasn't sense enough to know just how much of her neck and shoul-

Revolt of the Baronets.

Apropos of the revolt of the baronets, the writer of an amusing article in an English paper speaks of woman's love for the order. Once on a time, even, he tells us, there was a female baronet. Dame Maria Bolleo of Osberton, Coun- ty Nottingham. The rank of baronet's wife is not infrequently conferred on the widow of a man to whom the baron etcy has been promised, and who died too soon to receive it.
 It is the novellsts, however, who make the most capita. out of the baron- etage, especially the lady writers. As an interesting pursuit to women of lei- sure he suggests that of ascertaining how many baronets appear in popular novels. People unfamiliar with the peer age are on tolerably safe ground when writing about baronets.

 Always about this time of year the shop windows are filled with the most remarkable of white garments, while the newspapers are filled with adver- tisements of what they call "cheap un- derwear," but which is more elegantly referred to by the saleswomen as fine lingerie" Whether it Is that the hid eous dress reform undergarment is go- ing out of fashion, and this has brought all these abominations to the fore or the shopkeeper, appreciating that a reaction has set in, has concluded that he had better get rid of all this old stuff, or what, nobody exactly knows, but it is certain that some of the most hideous things are displayed, and un- doubtedly some deluded women will buy them. What do I mean by hideous things? Plaitings ruff1ed with abomi- nations in the shape of hamburg edging and overfrilled bits of clothing that would ruin the figure of Venus, really the usual sort of trash that appears

self wishing that Venus had staid in the sea and been comfortable. But it is queer how these people, who are sup posed to cultivate the mind, or the soul, or the brain, or whatever is the think ing part of people, are continually both ering about a womans frills and frivols.
 She must be rather a nice woman, and don't know what induced her to write to me, but she asked, evidently in all sincerity, Do you think skirts will be wired this year?" or if I thought a small hoopskirt would obtain. Per sonally I have always dreaded the hoopskirt. I never wore one, and I don't believe I would ever learn to con- trol one. feel sure that I could never sit on it correctly; that it would flare where 1t oughtn't to and give me q generally ridiculous appearance. Then, too as I have a very feminine weak ness for high heels, I should probably put my foot in it, and ''the flying wo- man" would describe me as I came

ders she should display she is as igno- rant as the youngest baby in the house. A woman's arms, round, white, firm and well formed, are delights, and a woman's throat, well shaped and white, is a marble column supporting the head above it, which is presumed to hold sufficient amount of brains to hint to the world at large that the own CT knows enough to show that world only what a modest woman would wish it to see. Modesty is a great virtue. but it is complex one. There are many absolutely modest women and many who are so immodest that one feels ashamed to even belong to the same sex.
 I don't think it is quite right to hear women talk of their miseries and the manner in which they are being treated to the world at large, and yet women do it.
 I don't think it is quite modest to gush over ones friends in public. Friendship is an exquisite plant, but it is one which can be easily killed, and if you want it to be fresh and beauti- full and a joy in your life, then you must protect it from the vulgar eye.
 I don't think it is quite modest to call whoever you may be fond of by pet names before other people. In fact, between you and me, I don't think it is quite modest to let the world at large see one's inner feelings. You needn't cultivate horrible frigidity of manner, but you can be a little re- served.
 I said modesty was complex, and it is The modest woman is the one who wears her heart where the daws can not peck at it and who keeps her own affairs to herself She is the woman who doesn't talk loudly in public and who doesn't overdress. Modesty does not cover, it simply does not recognize the existence of, some sins. There are women who are as exquisitely modest as the angels, women who could put out their hands and lift up that other woman who has fallen and never feel that they were soiling the tips of their fingers. The modest woman is the char itable one, for charity and purity are twin sisters.

A Word About Muffs,

Muffs in ordinary are medium in size. Some of them look even smaller than those of last season, but there are df- rectoires and Marie Antoinettes which are so large and softly built as to be capable enough to almost lose ones el- bows in. These muffs are also made up of velvet and trimmed with not a few heads and many tails, interspersed with frills and bows.
 Then there are long cylindrical muffs, composed of bands of two different kinds of fur, as sable and chinchilla, mink and ermine, for instance. The center band is a larger skin usually; sometimes it is whole one, in which case the head is brought to the top, as if the little animal had wound himself about. Chinchilla has become so scarce in Europe that its price is almost as high as sable. but the very best quality only, be it understood, is wanting.

Mr.. Arnold says that the expenses of
Il state government have increased
under republican rule 6 per cent As
the 1rishman said. I'VE don't behave it,
Let him produce the figures, the repub-
hcan figures, that he speaks of. State
Examiner Henderson made the state
ment to a Cheyenne Sun-Leader re-
porter the other day that the tax levy
generally this year is the least in the
history of the state. In Sweetwater
county the total reduction in taxes
compared with 1897 is $500. In Uin-
ia county the total reduction is about
1880; for county purposes alone the
reduction is approximately $1,700. In
Carbon county the net decrease in taxes
levied compared with last year is S.
034.12. The last republican legislature
passed legislation reducing the ex-
penses OF state, county and municipal
government in this state more than
$35. 000. Inn. Arnold will confine him
self to the record, he will carry more
weight with the people.

John Charles Thompson delves into
ancient history and tries to make the
people believe that at one period in the
history of the United States we had a
per capita circulation Of $S4.52. In or
der to make this showing he excludes
from our population - millions of our
people and adds to our circulation
nearly all the Indebtedness. The trou-
BILE with John Charles does not seem to
lie in his arithmetic but in the fact that
he cannot tell a certificate Of indebted
ness from money. A merchant might

A GREAT ENGLISH STATESMAN'S
SECRET.

The secret of a celebrated states
mans long life was his systematic way
of eating. Every bit of food was chew
ed thirty times before swallowing. The
result was he naturally enjoyed good
hearth. Most men and women bolt
their food, and eat things which
were never intended to be eaten. They
become costive, have a bad complexion,
lose flesh, are irritable and nervous,
and the first thing they know they are
played out" 1t is gratifying to know
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters cures
stomach troubles. 1t is a purely vege-
table medicine that has stood the test
of many years. 1t cures 8 which
seem to be hopeless. Sufferers from
any disorder of stomach, liver or bow
els should try it.

SENATOR HOAR FOR LONDON.
President Wants Him to Take Hays
Place.

New York, Sept. ia special to the
Times from Washington says:
1t is understood that President Nc
Kinley has decided to offer the post
of ambassador to the court of St.
James, made vacant by the appoint
ment of Mr.. Hay as secretary Of state,
to Senator Hoar. The president is very
anxious to have him accept the post
He thinks that Mr., Hoar would MAIN
tain the lofty standards established at
that court by such ambassadors as Low
ell and Bayard.
Senator Hoar is considered learned,
a diplomat by nature and long train
ing, tactful and gracious. The only
thing that stands in the way OF Mr..
Hoar's acceptance is his own health,
which has not been very strong for
some time. His friends think, however,
that he is strong enough for the duties
OF the post, and believe that he will
soon be in excellent physical condition
Mr.. Hear is. outside of his own quail
ties. an ideal man in the estimation of
the president. His mission to London
would create a vacancy that could and
would be filled acceptably by Secretary
OF the Navy Long, whose friends are
anxious to see him round out his career
by a long and u~nchallenged seat in the
senate. 1t is an understood thing that
the president is especially pleased by
the manner in which he has conducted
the affairs Of the navy during the war,
in which so much was accomplished by
American seamen, and Is anxious to
promote any plans that may lead to a
seat in the senate for the secretary OF
the navy.

charges against the party, withdrew
from it and burned his bridge behind
him But then it is loaves and fishes
the party want. and it swallows crow
with avidity for the sake of once more
posing as an organization of some
strength Principle goes down before
what is deemed expedient in this in
stance, and a candidate is accepted
who is on record as denouncing the
party, State, municipal and national,
as corrupt from heel to crown, the
creature of corporations and the tool
of monopolists. Mr.. Mcguire withdrew
from the Democratic party because 'as
