The Thing He Was Sure OF.

There IS a lawyer in Cleveland
prominent man physically and other
wise-who has the reputation of ar
ways making himself the thirteenth
man on the jury when he gets to argu-
ing case. Not long ago he was re-
tanned by a man who had been sued
for the recovery of money. Blank made
one of his characteristic pleas to the
jurors and they retired.
Then there was a hitch One of the
jurors refused to vote either way.
When asked to explain himself, he said.
We'll. l want to get this thing
straight. All I've heard in this here
case is about the plaintiff and the de-
findent. ! don't know what is a plain
tiff and | don't know what is a de-
findent. but. by golly, I want you to
understand that I'm for Blanks man
from start TO finish. / don't care wheth-
er he's the defindent or the plaintiff" ]"
That was how there came to be a
disagreement.

A Deep Shaft.

To sink a shaft 1000 feet deep is
something of a feat. In fact, there
are no shafts of that depth outside OF
this little county of Houghton, which
comprises the cream of the Lake Su-
perior copper district. But to dig a
shaft 1000 feet high is a novelty even
for this district of surprising things.
Yet work on such shaft was begun,
with the opening of the year, by the
Quincy Mining Company, corpora
tion which has paid almost S10000,000
in dividends from copper production.
The mouth of the shaft in question is
to be nearly opposite to the handsome
brown stone office of the company,
which stands on steep hill 600 feet
above the waters of Portage Lake The
shaft will stand at an angle of nearly
forty-fve degrees. When it was de-
cided on various plans were suggested
for its construction, but the idea of
Captain Samuel Is. Harris, the mana
ger of the mine, was finally accepted
and work was begun at the very bot
tom, 1900 feet below the brow of the
hill. A crosscut traversing the forma-
tion at right angles was driven to the
desired point, whereupon the miners
began drilling upward.

Encouraging a Good Man.

Come in here and have lunch with
me- said one business man to another
as they We're walking in a down town
street yesterday, shortly after the noon
hour.
What? you don't eat in there, do
you?"
Yes, this is my favorite restaurant"
Well by George, I'm surprised! 1
thought you We're a man who would
be more difficult to satisfy than that.
l took one meal there and then de-
clared that | would never go into the
place again. The service was wretched;
the things they gave me to eat were
miserably prepared, and taking it all
together, it was about the worst thing
/ ever had in the lunch line"
Il grant that all you have said may
be true, yet there is a very good reason
why the place ought to have our pat
ronage."
What is it?"
do you see the sign in front? 1t says
Ladies and Gentlemen's Restaurant.
Look at the other signs. They all read:
Ladies' and Gents The man who
runs this place ought to be encouraged,
even if his grub is bad. Come on"
So they went in.

Because His Ma Didn't Dare to
Leave Her Living Seat.

He was a mere stripping of lad He
might have been seven years of age or
he might have been nine; nobody could
tell by looking at his face. The only
mark of certainty about the youthful
countenance was the sure sign that
some of his ancestors had come from
old Ireland. The little fellow walked
hastily to the office of the warrant
clerk Of Recorder Finnigan's court. He
did not notice the four persons standing
in line waiting to get afidavits made
out against some bothersome relatives,
but the youth pushed through the
crowd and disengaged the attention of
the clerk with this odd remark:
Il want to make an affidavit against
my pa said he and pushed his little
red head around the side of the desk.
You want what?" queried the clerk.
Il want to swear against my pa
said the boy again
What has your pa done?"
He has just been to a prize fight
with ma
We'll, why don't your ma swear out
the warrant against pa? My boy, you
are too young; you won't fill the bill"
My ma can't come, and she wanted
me to fix it up for her"
why could she not come?' asked
the clerk. getting interested in the
youngsters story. He could not imag-
inc why the wife would not be only too
willing to swear out the warrant.
MY pa and ma, they got in the fight
in the kitchen. That is how it hap
pened My pa made drive for her. but
didn't land, and then my ma she grab
bed up the rolling pin and fioored the
old man She is now settin' on him,
holdin him down, and that is why she
couldn't come to swear against him.

creamy grebe at the edge. Other yokes
are. finished with a very deep ruffie OF
chinchilla or Lyons velvet. And the
new elegant VandYke pelerines have
deep points that reach nearly to the
waist front and back, and over the
sleeve-puffs, and long tabs that extend
to the skirt-hem.
Among the pretty head coverings are
pretty French toques which, for the
moment, are quite a specially. though
they are not millinery in a strict sense
of the word, tweed, serge, cravenette,
and many other kinds of cloth being
severally used in their construction.
Neither. flowers, feathers nor laces are
employed as trimmings for these, but
simply soft folds intermixing velvet
with the hat fabric about the crown,
with small loops of the same run
through with pretty pin or two. 1t
is great economy and comfort to have
such a neat trim little standby for
winter wear, as there is absolutely
nothing to spoil by exposure to hail,
rain or snow.
An easy and pretty way to freshen
black, white or colored silk or satin
bodice is to cover it with an over
drapery in blouse style of net, lisse or
chiffon, the shade of the bodice, or of
contrasting color. AS there are neither
darts nor side seams, this light dra-
perry is easily adjusted, and to freshen
the waist one can now purchase in any
of the fancy dry goods houses crimped
0r accOrY1ion nleated textiles of various
airy weaves-by the yard, and with
dainty ruffles to match - in black.
white, pearl, cream, ecru and fancy
tints. Bows of satin ribbon on the
shoulders, with straps of the ribbon
carried from the bows to the belt, both
front and back, would serve to keep the
fullness of the chiffon in place, and
thus give a slender look to the figure.
In the array of winter dress and wrap
trimmings exhibited are some of the
most elaborate and elegant decorations
that have ever been shown in this city.
Never were such novel and artistic de-
signs imported, and nothing in the way
of garniture ever quite compared with
these last new wonders in richness of
quality, sumptuous effect, grace novel
ty and beauty of design. They are
shaped to fill every possible requirement
of the gown to outline or simulate any
sort of bodice or skirt effect now in
vogue, from panel to puff, from neck
band TO skirt hem. Jeweled and Sc
quined garniture ad infinitum still hold
the place of honor beside elegant laces
and chiffon draperies on dress toilets
The record-union., 1898-01-30

Most of the evening sleeves are eX-
treme, in style, being either very long
or very short and transparent ma
terials are in high fashion for both
models If a bodice, for example, IS
made of pale-blue satin, overlaid with
lace, the sleeves are blue satin putfs
draped with pleatings of the lace. II
the corsage is cut low in the neck, the
sleeves are mere straps holding crisp
standing loops of rather wide blue satin
ribbon.
One of the smartest styles in winter
wraps is the fitted, belted coat OF
finest astrakhan copied from model
designed by Grunwaldt, who leads the
styles in fur wrappings in Paris. These
fasten down the left side the edges
battlemented with a frill of velvet of
some becoming color pleated beneath
the tabs. Around the neck is a stylish
dog-collar of cut steel and odd me-
dalions, and round the waist one of the
inevitable jeweled belts.
Among the small novelties recently
manufactured are the skirt bands ready
for use. Skirts can be gathered, pleat-
have patent fastenings to take the place
of buttons or hooks and eyes. They
have also loops at each side for hang
ing UP the skirt They are made in
black. light and dark gray, and also
in white.
The over-long Victorian shoulder
seam has failed to find followers, and
all bodice seams are now found in their
normal position at the top of the arm
The fullness of the sleeve lifted on the
shoulder point in the form of a pudgy-
looking little puff, evinces its ambition
to raise it's former hight instead of
spreading to it's recent breadth But
this will hardly be allowed, as moder-
alton in all things seems now to be the
watchword of fashion for at least two
seasons to come
Very highly favored this winter are
the elegant little collarettes, pelerines
and French collets, with long stole ends
nearly covered with fur-tail fringes.
Seal, sable, otter. chinchilla, Persian
lamb. blue fox. broadtail krimmer very
dark mink, and stone marten are all in
high vogue, many garments being
formed of one fur alone, others show
ing two and often three different furs
in combination. Many of the very ex-
pensive collets are enriched with points
and applique bands of elegant pas
sementerie, and medalionS and cascades
of costly lace. Pingat models of seal or
sable have large medallion appliques of
