THE WRESTLING BOY.

Ia there a sound in the world so sweet on a
dark and dreary morn,
When the gloom without meets the gloom with.
in, till we wish we'd not been born,
As the sound of a little barefoot boy gayly
whistling in the rain,
While he drives the cows to pastures green
down the path in the muddy lane?
The joy of a boy is a funny thing, not damp
ened by autumn rain.
His clothes and his hands and his sturdy feet
are not spoiled by CRIME or stain.
The world to him is a wonderful place that he
means some day to explore.
II there's time to play and plenty to eat, who
cares if the heavens pour2
Oh, that CHEEKY trill Of a heart as fresh as the
drops that clear the air,
Brings a smile to our lips and clears the soul
of the gloom that brooded there,
And we bless the boy as he spats along through
rivers of rain and mud,
For the hope and cheer in that whistled note
would rainbow the sky in a food.

Richest Beegar on Earth.

The richest beggar in the world lives
in Russia. He was born without feet or
arms, and his physical defects have
brought him great sympathy and much
cash. Sympathy would be better be-
slowed if it were given to the army OF
industrious men in this country who
overwork themselves and break down
their health. These men lose their APP
petites, and their stomachs Ego back on
them" Their nerves are shattered and
they cannot sleep. The quickest way
for these men to recover their health Is
to take Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which is intended particularly for those
who suffer from any of the complaints
mentioned. This remedy is so well
known that it is recognized as one OF
the worlds standard medicines.

examined, it's merits praised and the giver
thanked. That is the courteous return to
make for the present.
Difficulty is often experienced in choos-
ing gifts for a man. Besides handkerchief
it is puzzling to think of anything which
is universally acceptable to the masculine
contingent. Some men do not smoke,
others will not wear gloves, still others
decline to wear neckties they do not them
selves choose. C%uriously enough, how
ever, it is a fact that most men, however
d%isdainful of fopperies in general, like
nice perfumes and essences, just as they
like candy when they can get it without
exposing themselves to derision. There
fore it is worth while to remember that u
flagon of eau de cologne, which is one of
the best toilet waters, or a bottle or two of
fine essence will probably be acceptable to
the man who is the despair Of his women
friends who want to give him something.

Increasing Tendency Toward Tight
and CIinging Styles.
The tendency toward clinging styles is
SO pronounced that there Is a prospect of
the return Of the old sheath skirt, varied
only by a flaring founce around the foot.
At present whatever change is made is in
the direction of increased t%ightness, and it
has already become necessary to suppress
all fullness around the hips in underwear
in order to keep the gown free from any
suggestion of a wrinkle.
AS for sleeves, they are already quite as
tight as they ought to be. 1t is no longer
easy to raise the arm, and if they become
much tighter it will be impossible. The
gathers at the top of the sleeve have almost
entirely disappeared, but the shoulders are
still widened by the addition of sleeve
caps, large revers or a wide collar.
The form of the fashionable corset is
modified in such a way as to narrow the
hips and raise the bust, while diminishing
its size. The conventionally desirable fig

VARIOUS NOTES.
The Rule of Courtesy In Receiving
Gifts,

Gifts.
One important rule of politeness is often
ignored by persons who are otherwise well
bred. 1t concerns the reception Of pres
ents. When a gift is received in the pres
encc of other persons, it should be un-
wrapped at once, and If the contents of
the parcel are fruit or confectionery they
should be offered to those persons who are
in the room. Unless there is some special
reason to the contrary, this rule should
always be followed. Still more emphatic
ally is it necessary to unwrap q gift at
once when it is presented in person by the
