by Roy Gould, a comrade. The
boys, who are about y years old,
were hunting robins with a small

just behind the Gould boy The
latter was carrying the rife over
his shoulder. and in walking the
load was accidentally discharged.

About the Philippines.

Rev. Sam Jones, with all his &C.
centricities, occasionally hits upon
some valuable ideas. He says:
MY own private opinion is against
keeping the Philippines. We have
got enough wards of the nation in
the negro, the Indian, the heather
Chinese and the worse than heath
en- scum from all foreign ma
tions. We have enough fertile soil
and undeveloped industries in
America without taking in tripical
islands which will breed US disease
and death and which in the long
run will have about as much ten
dency to drag us down as we will
have to pull them up. The Chris
tian or humanitarian argument is
the only one worth our while to
consider, and l have lost faith in
Christian missionary work when
Christian countries ship 5000 bar
rels of whisky with every mission
ary, to say nothing of opium and
beer. We are in no position to
preach temperance and righteous
ness to other nations with the de-
vilitry we are practicing at home.
We have depravity in America and
degradation in the Philippines" !"

His Bfrthday GIFT.

When Mrs. Ransom went away for 8
fortnight's visit, relates The Youths Com
panion, she called her two boys to her and
said firmly: Now, Rob, l want you and
Ned to promise me that you will not tease
papa to take you to the football game next
week. If he want to go, he might wish
to be with some friends n not have the
care Of little boys like you. And don't
forget that you are to give papa something
bought with your own money for his
birthday"
The boys promised, and the mother de-
parted. The fact that the birthday and
the football game occurred on the same
date seemed particularly unpropitious.
But the day before Rob had a sudden in
spiration, the glow Of which was soon
shared with his brother.
On Mr.. Ranson's plate at breakfast the
next morning was a somewhat soiled en-
velope on which Ia printed in painful
letters, Happy B~urtbday."
Opening it, the beneficiary found two
dingy quarters wrapped in a half sheet OF
paper, which bore the words, ITO by a
tikket for the Game"
And, looking up, he encountered the
gaze of four wistfully hopeful eyes, whose
owners had no reason to regret their STRAIT
egY.

by the closing years Of the last century.
In 1872 she was a concert singer in Lon
don, and on the occasion Of Gounod's
visit to the English capital she spread
the report that the french composer
was about to become a British subject.
1t was all Gounod could do to persuade
his fellow countrymen to the contrary.
She claimed Gounod's compositions as
her own and sued him for damages, Sc
curing a judgment for $4,000 against
Kim in the English courts, much to the
amazement of everybody but the jury.
Later she got herself mixed up with
the wheels Of justice and spent six
months in Eighgate prison for libel.
When she was released, she was dawn
by costermongers through London at
the head of a ragged but triumphal
procession.
Next she went to France n sued
Rochefort for libel. She became so ec-
centric hat she was committed to in
sane asylums, which she sued imme-
diately on being released. Some years
ago she was sent to the onven in
which she now resides.
Her recently published pamphlet is
very popular. Selections from the work
are chanted by boys In the streets, and
the ~glooniness Of the prophecies is by
no means Frightening the situation.
Georgina claims that the verses were
inspired by a dead poet.

was His own Accaser,

ACKNOWLEDGMENT Jones was a small boy
whose name might beuter AVE been An
anias, for he had a bad habit of telling
"whoppers'' for the mere pleasure OF "
ing. Not that little Neb, as his relatives
called him, was a bad boy, but he loved
to make up stories that would cause peo-
pie to open their eyes. One afternoon he
ran into the sitting room ~breathlessly and
began to rattle off a yarI, about a snake
that he had seen swallowing o frog, legs
first, while the frog was swallowing the
snake, tail first, till they had swallowed
each other up. just as Neb finished his
story and his father and mother were par
italy recovering from their astonishment
the boys boot heel dropped off. "There!"
exclaimed Neb's father very gravely. "You
see what you get for telling lies.
Neb shuf1led away shamefacedly, but a
day or two after he told another story that
sounded quite plausible. Its untruth prob
ably would never have been known had
not Neb lifted up his foot, looked at his
heel carefully for a moment, and then
said, sit didn't come off this time"

facts. One Is the skirt fitting 50 tightly
around the hips that some ultrafash-
enable have discarded all Unnecessary
bulk Of underolothing to allow for this
close ut. But the bottoms Of the skirts
fare widely, and many train percepti-
bly, in the streets. The other is that
tunios are much liked. These are cut
without fullness or drapery at the top
and in points, slashed, or in a graceful
sweep of rounded edges.
Long tailed coats, eton Jackets OF
strange form and blouse effects strug-
gle for the supremacy. Those coats
where the olden styles are mingled with
the new are perhaps the most pleasing.
HiSh stock bows of white silk null add
to the effectiveness of them. Simple
words cannot show exactly in what the
style consists, SO there are pictures to
give a clear idea.
There Is one very novel suit COM
plete. The coat is a cross between an
eton Jacket and a Louis somebody
coat. This and the black portion of
the skirt and sleeves are of granite
cloth in very dark brown. The revers
and front and bottom of the skirt are
of Havana brown broadcloth, outlined
and finished with narrow black ribbon.
The coat, being open in the neck to al
low the wide, square revers to fall back,
has a full vest of the palest blue liberty
silk and a big double cravat bow of the
same.
A Breton hat of white felt to wear
with this suit and a dark brown velvet
rosette and twist and two full Havana
brown plumes. At the left side against
the hair was a bunch of blue velvet
flax blossoms. Flax blue is one of the
new colors.
Striped goods. wool, silk and cottons,
are all expected to be popular. Pompa-
dour silks are seen everywhere, but the
smart set in this city has pronounced,
and in nc uncertain tones, in favor of
satin as a dress of ceremony, as at Mrs.
Astor's great ball three-fourths of the
lady guests wore satin. The rest wore
MORE, brocade, and the young folks
wore, as usual, thin n light tissues.
Silks for summer and spring are
striped, plain, Persian pattern, stamped
in blue and white scroll and vermicelli
effects, and many regular Dolly Warden
designs in dark surah ground. The
flowers in these are unusually large,

We cannot complain of lack Of va
riety in the world of fashion just now,
for It is next to impossible to keep
track Of the new things that fairly
tread or each others heels. One hour
we see millions of yards of new rib
bons, the next as many more of laces.
Then come mountains of silks n pyr-
amids of wooden fabrics. After them
are the cottons, just now overlapping
everything.
Ribbons for two or three seasons have
not been very popular, lace having been
preferred, but now ribbon has come into
its kingdom again, though at the pres
ent nm it is rather undecided as
to how it will be employed. The r
row widths of ribbon have had their
day, as now the modistes are using
more ruff1es of wider ribbon in silk n
satin weaves
One new fancy is to ave shirred
rufne of satin ribbon of three inch
width and this with three shirred ruff
f1es of half inch ribbon along the lower
edge. There are yet some very hand
some trimmings wrought upon dress
waists and skirts, with gauffered half
inch ribbon. This forms a sort of puff

who does it.

SHE HIRED 10000 MEN.

H
Mrs. Atwood Is the sHobo Hustler of
the west"
Mrs. S. j. Atwood is a little woman
with a labor bureau which is known all
over the west. In the past 10 years she
has hired something like 10000 men, Ia
borers, from Castle Garden to Portland,
Or. She is the only woman railroad en-
ployment agent in the country.
By the railroad men she has been called
the "Hobo Hustler of the West" Mrs. At
wood not only furnishes the Union Pacif-
ic, but every one of the Colorado and
trunk lines entering Denver, with what
men it desires.
The agent has keen blue eyes, short,
black, curly hair and wears a feminine
sombrero. Her features, while not hand
some, are bright and pleasant. She speaks
directly and to the point, a habit acquired
in sner dealings with all classes.
81 nave lived in Denver 16 years, says
Mrs. Atwood. Il started this business 13
years ago, for something had to be done,
and I thought there was an opening in
this line. You would naturally think
these rough men would not hesitate at in
suits and disparaging remarks, but I have
vet to hear the first unkind word. I have
staid many a night alone in crowded cars
filled with men, getting in here at 4
o'clock In the morning. Not long ago /
had two cars and 90 laborers that I
brought all the way from st. Louis and
the Missouri river, and they were more POI
lite and subdued b q many self styled
gentlemen.
IT fill orders for the Rio Grande, Santa
Fe, Burlington and other roads in addi-
ton to the Union Pacific. I send men to
all branches, and there is a constant de-
mand for them. In dull years I do not
have to go outside of Colorado for all the
labor I want, but when prosperity has
been seen / have gone clear through to
New York and picked up the immigrants.
This year l went to Cincinnati, st. Louis
and Chicago, making IA round trips in
all and bringing in 1000 men.
II go out myself and pick out ablebod-
led men that I feel would like to work.
In Kansas City recently in a walk of five
blocks I met 40 men from Denver who all
knew me and came up to shake hands.

always understood this, and now I am
convinced of its truth by the following in
cident, which recently occurred in India
and of which a correspondent in Bombay
sends me particulars:
IA small female elephant was charged
by a buffalo in high grass, and her rider,
in the hurry of the moment and perhaps
owing 60 the sudden stopping of the ele-
plant, fired an explosive shell from his
rifle, not into the buffalo, but into the ele-
plants shoulder. The wound was so So
we're that it had not healed a year later.
Yet the elephant stood firm, although it
was gored by the buffalo, which was then
killed by another gun. What is even more
strange is that the elephant was not gun

PROPHECIES OF EVIL.
Georgfna Weldon, n Cosmopolitan
Adventurous who Startled Paris.

Adventures who Startled Paris.
The Georgina Weldon who recently
ret Paris abuxz by issuing a pamphlet
OF verse In which she predicts the
downfall OF the nation and a job lot
OF calamities In general is the same
G~eorgina who gained worldwide noto-
riety more than a dozen years ago in
connection with her relations with
Gounod, the great French composer.
Georgina has been quiet for some
time, but her latest outbreak is perhaps
as sensational as any of her earlier eff
forts. AS the high priestess of the
Dreyfusards she has become the hero
inc of the boulevards.
The title of Georgina's pamphlet is
'"The Conspiracy of the General Stair
and involves those army men who have
said that Dreyfus is guilty. It is writ
ten in verse of no mean order Inc is
dedicated to Colonel Picquart. It's au-
thor il now immured in a convent of
the provinces, but there are Dreyfus-
ards who desire to carry her through
the streets of Paris in q chariot.
The new prophecies is precisely like
the strange women who were produced
