10, THE ooNoUERrNG NERO.


When the Israelites were successful IN
shifting hip and thigh the Jebusites, the
Utilities and whatever other ties they

blessed knowledge. So it is not surpris-

yea, and was counted out, ascribes the
victory of his son to the help of the
, Lord against the mighty. Thus saith
the father of the victor: tits Just as
said some time ago, when l was asked
for an expression as to the coming bat
tie. The Lord was in the fight He was
with Jim, and of course Jim Won"
1t has been noticed by historians that
some Of the greatest conquerors have
been modest men, as BELTS those who
by the Lord. So it is not surprising to
find the California Cyclone modest in the
very hour of triumph. He says: DO
you know, this is an unusual thing for
me-this hero worship, I mean. The
American public are a loving lot of
people, and they appreciate person
who has accomplished something. Real
ly don't think have done so much to
be honored like this, but it makes mo
feel good 1 won't get a swelled head
you can gamble, and any one who is a
GENTLEMAN and who wants to talk to me
will not be passed by
It has also been noticed by historians
that some of the greatest conquerors of
their fellow men have been able to con-
quer literary expression. Caesar could
say things. So could Napoleon. SO it
is not surprising to find that the Cali
fornia Cyclone can give forceful utter
ance to the thought that is in him. No
tice the power and directness of his lit |
tie message to "the Sailor" which be- |
gins as follows: "Mr Thomas Sharkey
-blowhard-Sir: / read in the press
that you have expressed your desire and |
willingness to meet me in a contest for |
the worlds championship, which l now
hold having won 1t from a man that |
you robbed in San Francisco two years |
ago. You know in your heart that Fitz- |
simmons was your master and you We're |
a party to the contemplate scheme that |
robbed him of a decision in that battle. |
He knocked you out fair and square and |
you know it. Now, Mr.. Sharkey, you
say you want to meet me. That is just |
what l have been waiting for. l whipped
you once and / can do 1t again.
Favored of the Lord, modest, willing
to allow anybody who is a gentleman
to talk to him, and a master of the art
of saying things, the California Cyclone
is indeed all he has been cracked UP to
be. 1t is sad to think that in that day
when his greatness Is fully ripe he, too
will get it in the neck, even as the
once great Ianky Bob did. But there
must be limit to human greatness If
the stars are not to be knocked out of
The sky.

Il QUEER SUIT

All kinds of queer things happen in
Kansas. One of the latest is a queer
lawsuit which has been brought in the
district court at Lawrence. Mr.. Sam
Auker ana Mr.. Sam Ellis were old
friends and whenever Mr.. Auker visit
ed Mr. Ellis the two made a practice of
consuming a beaker of wine together.
One day, some months ago, Mr. Auker
called at the Ellis home, and, according
to custom, the wine was brought forth.
But through an almost unaccountable
accident the liquid on this occasion
proved to be concentrated I've instead Of

arrangements of white tulle and fluffy
feathers are rather unbecoming to two
women out of three. They are inartis-
tic, too, except when viewed at close
distance they entirely lack detail A
womans head might as well be sur
mounted by bunch of raw cotton as
the most beautiful confection Of silk
tulle and curled paradise pompons. This
lack of light and shade explains the
unbecomngness.
The question of unbecomingness has
quite as much force in millinery as 1t
ever had, despite the abundance of the
hats just described. They were bought
because they became stylish 50 sudden
ly that it seemed in the spring as If
nothing else would do as well, and be-
cause they were lovely when examined
near at hand. But if one wishes to see
how the matter Of looks has effect she
could consider the current forms of the
poke shape They are many, and in
most of them the relationship to the
old-time poke bonnet is very faint.
Some of them do not shade the face at
all, and that was the chief object of the
poke in grandmother's day. The hat
pictured here was of this new type,
which sells because women have learned
that an adaptation of the poke frames
the face pleasingly. AS to hiding pref
ty features deep within even pretty
hat, your girl of 1899 will have none of
it. The variety of straws and trim
mines for these modern pokes is large.
This one was corn colored straw in

The successful application Of electric

Switzerland has lately given rise to the
discussion of an electric road to the sum-

for tunnel to enter the mountain just

of the mountain, avoiding in this way
the glaciers which do not pass over the
ridge. The total length of the line will

Sorrow awaits those owners Of tulle
