EXCITING DARKROOM SCENE,

Bret Harte describes as a graphic way
an incident which occurred on his first ar
rival at the gold diggings, in a saloon
which he had entered to inquire his way
to a friends claim, says Youths Com
panion:
Il entered the barroom. 1t was crowd
ed with miners and traders. and a few
smartly dressed professional-looking men.
Here again my vanity led me into eXtrav-
agance l could not bear to address the
important. white-shirt-sleeved and dia-
mond-pinned barkeeper as a mere boyish
suppliant for information. l was silly
enough to demand a drink, and laid down,
alas. another quarter.
II had asked my question, the bar
keeper had handed me the decanter, and
l had poured out the stuff with as much
ease and grown-up confidence as l could
assume. when a singular incident occur
red. AS it had some bearing upon my
fortune, may relate it here.
The ceiling of the saloon was support
ed by a half-doZen wooden Olumns about
Is inches square, standing in a line par
allel with the counter of the bar. aud
about two feet from it. The front Of the
bar was crowded with customers. they,
one and all. put down their glasses and
hurriedly backed into the space between
the columns. At the same moment a shot
was heard from the street through the
large. open doors hat stood at right an
giles with the front Of the counter and
the columns.
THE bullet raked and splintered the
molding of the counter front. but with
no other damage. The shot was returned
from the upper end of the bar. and then
for the first time. I became aware that
two men with leveied revolvers were
shooting at each other through the
saloon.
THE bystanders in range were fully
protected by the wooden columns; the

bartender had ducked below the coun-
changed by the duelis.s, but as far as l
could see. nobody was hurt. A mirror was
smashed, and my glass had part Of it's
rim carried clearly away by the third
shot. and it's contents spilled.
II had remained standing near the
counter. and l presume | may have been
protected by the columns: but the whole
thing passed so quickly. and l was so ut
terly absorbed in its dramatic novelty.
that | cannot recall having the slightest
sensation Of physical fear. Indeed, / had
been much more frightened in positions
of less peril.
My only concern. and this was para
mount, was that ] might betray by any
word or movement my youthfulness,
establishment or unfamiliarity with such
an experience. l think that any shy,
vain chool boy will understand this, and
would probably feel as I did. So strong
was this feeling that while the stink of
gunpowder was still in my nostrils I
moved toward the bar, and. taking up my
broken glass, sale to the barkeeper, per-
haps somewhat slowly and d~iffidently:
"'Will you please fill me another glass:
It's not my fault if this was broken
The barkeeper. rising flushed and ex-
cited from behind the bar. looked at me
with a queer smile, and then passed the
decanter and a fresh glass. l heard u
laugh and an oath behind me. and my
cheeks flushed as I took a single gulp of
the fiery spirit and hurried away"

amt in it with the humble, everyday
Filipino. The rapidity with which one
OF those brown gentlemen can switch
from a rampant insurgent. dressed in
red pants and Il Mauser, to a meek and
lowly negro, wearing dirty white pajamas
and a benevolent smile. is next door to
miraculous. and their talent in that line
it without doubt the principal thing that
has thu far prolonged the war. When
we made a reconnaissance north of IloilO
last spring my company had a pretty
sharp brush one afternoon with a party
OF insurgents, intrenched outside of the
town of Molo, and finally scattered all
but about half a dozen, who We're APP

ever, we were very much surprised to find
that they had disappeared. Near by.

bamboo hut. and 4 squad of us rushed
over to search it. Inside we found five

of extending from the neck to the belt,
like the regulation vest, it extends across
the bodice like a broad band. reaching
from armho!e to armhOle. Below the
vest the bodice is finished with the
stitched taffeta.
The beauty of this waist. must be seen
to be fully appreciated. 1t is the most
elegant of all the new designs, and has
the added advantage of being suitable for
a Slim or a stout person, alike.
Skirts while Separate" partake of the
tone of the bodice. You see the tiny pin
striped taffetas worn with %thepastel blue
bodices. The same color note pervades
the gown. Black skirts are worn scarce
ly at all with brilliant waists as the
sharp contrast is not pretty.
A word may be said about the diagrams
which accompany these pictures. They
are accurately drawn, though they are
too small to be used directly as a pat
tern. They afford. however, an excellent
guide Take Il piece of brown paper, cut
it the shape OF the tiny diagram, and APP
ply it to the top of the sleeve. until you
have a sleeve cap which fits your arm.
Better still.experiment with calico which
is more pliable than paper and takes a
more becoming shape.

made OF only one material and the plain
richness of the fabric was allowed to
snow itself in theplain rich folds of the
bodice. This year it is different. Sim
plicity is thrown to thewinds and you
see so many and diverse styles that you
pause bewildered before them all.
Blue is perhaps the color of the minute.
Not necessarily the cold pearl blue, but
the warmer sunset i u which is quite
yellowish, and THE mirror blue which
shows a great many colors.
Sapphire blue is also the rage. and it's

combination give a silvery effect. Jet
paillettes glisten on half the gowns and
silver and steel as well.

A HINT FOR NEXT TIME.

A few evenings 6 a certain young
man called on his best girl to spend the
evening. says the Berlin, Ohio, Bee.
When about to return home the onver-
sation CHANGED to turn to art, and the
young lady said to him that he reminded
her of the Venus de Milo, whereupon the
young nan was delighted. thinking sure
ly it was symmetrical form she alluded
to. When he got home he consulted an
encyclopedia. ard to his deep chagrin
and modification found that the Venus
de Milo had no area. He went down In
the cellar and tried to butt out his brains
on q soft cabbage.

The modiste who kindly consented to

AN INTERNATIONAL DINNER.

London Chamber Of Commerce to Enter
tain the New York Body.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-Members Of the
chamber of commerce in this city have
been invited by the London chamber
of commerce to be its guest at q dinner
at the earliest date convenient to the
New Workers. The object Of the din
ner is to promote international comfy
between Great Britain and the United
States. As the London association has
q membership Of 1900, including men
foremost in commerce and finance, the
dinner, in addition to its international
significance, will be one of the largest
and most notable public affairs of the
kind during the present era.
The dinner will probably take place
in the height of London's season, which
will probably make it about the mid.
die of June. A representative delega-
ton has indicated a desire to be pres
ent. Among those who will probably
attend r Morris K. Jessup, president
of the chamber; Senator Chauncey NJ.

the Minneapolis lumberman, has prac.

tent as in the valuable pine of Mime
sofa. Mr.. Walker has for q couple of
years or more been making quiet trips
to the Golden state, looking over tim.
Der. Mr.. Walker and one Of his sons
are now in California, and it is said by
q gentleman who is thoroughly familiar
with Mr.. Walkers business affairs and
prospective operations, that he has
within the past month or so decided to
possess himself of extensive holdings of
timber lands.
1t is said that the Minneapolis lum.
herman will invest at least $3.50, 900,
and possibly double that amount, in
California sugar pine. Mr.. Walker, it
seems, does not calculate that the in.
vestment will be followed immediately
by an developments. and he does not
expect to get any money back for some
years. The investment will be practi-
cally the same as was his earlier in.
vestment in stumpage in Minnesota.

curious changes. Before the first at
tempt at a race the ruling odds were

Demonstration in London Over the

LONDON, Oct. 1S.-Partly owing to
the diminished interest after 80 many
abortive attempts and partly to disap-
pointment over the result of the days
race for the Americas cup, the demon
strations during the evening were
rather tame. Crowds had collected on
the Thames embankment and other
places where the progress of the race
was pictured and cheers were alter
nately raised for Columbia and Sir
Thomas Upton, but disappointment at
the result was very keen. At the Hotel
Cecil. where a crowd of Americans had
collected TO await the announcement on
the ticker, cheers resounded.
