Why She Blushed.

or course, she was indignant when
+ dawned upon her that some one was
trying to flirt with her. Yet there was
no denying the fact that the man be-
hind her had kept steadily after her
ever since she had left the street car
And he's old enough to be in bet
ter business" she said to herself, in
dignantly. "I'll cross the street Just to
make sure whether he is really follow
ing"
She crossed the street and so did he.
Then she turned on him.
Sir she said, why do you persist
in following me?"
He started, as if disturbed in the
midst of some abstruse mental calcula-
tion, and for minute seemed bewil-
dered. Then he bowed courteously
and said:
Madam, why do you persist in pre-
ceding me?"
Two doors further on he turned in,
producing latchkey as he did so, and
showing in other ways that he had
reached his destination. She turned
back and went round the block rather
than pass that house, and her face was
still red when she reached home.-Chi-

Married Ladies Titles,

IN Germany controversy has arisen
with regard to the style which should
be adopted in addressing married la
dies. There are four names by which
a mans better half may be described
In the language of the Vaderland, viz:
Gemahlin (consort, gattin (spouse),
frau Qady), and webb (wife) To save
the frequent disputes and heartburn
burnings arising from ignorance or
impertinence in the use Of any one
Of these forms, 1t is proposed that
these shall be attached to the recog-
nized gradations of the social scale.
Thus, a generals wife would be ad-
dressed as his "consort," the partner of
an official of a certain rank as his
Spouse" the middle-class wife would
be addressed as her husbands lady"
and the workingman's helpmeet would
be simply his "wife."

Reigning Styles.

The reign Of tight skirts promises to
be long. There is no symptom of any
change, save to increasing tightness,
If that be possible. The lining and the
outside are made as fiat as possible,
and both are nodded to the form with
out fold or wrinkle. This leads, of
course, to a revolution in underwear
which shall eliminate all amplitude
and gathers around the waist. Many
women inclined to superabundant flesh
have all articles of underwear which
fasten about TIE waist mounted on a
tight-ftting yoke some four or five
inches in depth, or else cut in such
way that TIE fullness may be taken up
by darts around the hips and the top
finished by a straight strip stitched
down to hold the edge firm. This
Idea is now adopted by everybody, and
ali possible means of insuring slen-
fsrness are now sought. The best way
to have the skirt Of the gown lie
smoothly across the hips is to wear
the corset outside the pettcoat over all
the rest of the underwear. This gives
an unbroken line and abolishes all
folds.
The petticoat, like the gown skirt,
is tight and plain as far down as the
knee, being fitted by darts. Below the
knee it blossoms out into luXuriant
s-innumerabe frills, ruff
fles, plaitings, puffs, ruches and bows
of ribbon. AS the flare of the gown
must be sustained by the petticoat, no
crinoline or other stiffening being now
employed, all this eXuberant trim
ming is a fashionable necessity.

She Knew His EnOtsfens.

They are telling story up in the
West Side-which may or may not be
true-about rising young politician
who has unusually large feet. His
mother is lovable old woman, and
quite deaf. She lives in a fiat in the
neighborhood of Grants tomb and is
always delighted by visit from her
son. When the United States cruiser
Brooklyn, which was anchored in the
Hudson off the tomb, on Memorial day,
fired a salute of twenty-one guns, the
old lady was observed to start, fix her
cap and smooth down her apron. Then
she said, with a sweet smile: George
is coming; l hear his footsteps on the
stairs. New York Tribune.

cruelty to Flowers.

woman who loves her garden says
She cannot understand how people can
bring flowers to town these days, es-
pecially when they carry them in the
hand or wear them as bouquets. They
take them out of the shady cool gar
Den, fresh, dewy and fragrant, and
hold the delicate stems in hot hands
or pin them in coats or gowns to fade
and die" she says, plaintively. "Wid
roses, which city people dote on, wilt
before the railway station is reached,
and pansies are dying of thirst long
before the train arrives in town. Pan
sizes are hardy and will perk up and
take fresh hold on life if placed in

most countrybred flowers are more
fragile, and | always feel sad when |
see them going off to the CRIME and

forgotten in a mans buttonhole or
dropped and trampled on in the car.

they will have a comfortable journey.
It's just the same yearning solicitude

RUSSIA AND PAX VOBISCUM.

In Its Policy of Spoliation There Has
Been No Sign of Peace.
The bishops and the salvationists
and all the sentimentalists are still
busy with their hosannas, of course,
but there is not man in England who
has to deal practically with affairs
who believes that the scheme Is hon
est Why, he asks, was the moment
chosen by Russia to declare in favor
of peace? Has not her policy for
years past in the far east especially,
made directly for war? She has been
aggressive. INSCRIPTIONS, untruthful in
her dealings with China, with Japan
and with England; she scared Japan
out of the Liaotung peninsula, and
claimed it for herself; she bluffed Eng
land out of Manohuria, and she now
claims it for her sphere Of influence.
in all this policy of spoliation there
was no sign Of peace, nothing that
suggested the temper of Cancellation.

ernment would have received an ulti-
LudLuu uOuLuS ago, ana even lAOrO
Salisbury could not have withstood the
indignation Of the country many weeks
longer. At an early date there must
have been war between this country
and Russia, with the alternative that
Russia should give up her pretensions
in northern China and her sinister
policy at Pekin. The issue was clear,
but Count Mouravieff evades 1t by COM
ing forward smilingly with this evan
gel from his august master. "Let us
forget all the past" he seems to say,
"all the lies have told you, all the
tricks have played upon you. Think
no more Of the fortifications at Batoum
or Port Arthur, trouble no more about
the huge navy Russia is building. 1--WE
have worried each other a great deal
lately. Let us have peace-now that

pretty and very pleasing, but this form
of repentance at the eleventh hour Is
not likely to deceive any man Of sense
in England. From the patriotic Eng
lish point Of view this rescript is a
fraud.-Saturday Review.

CHAPTER TX.

Sullivan's public-house, the thorn in
every squatter's side for thirty miles
around, was small wooden shanty
consisting of four or five rooms At
the back was building containing
ten or twelve sleeping hunks. This
was called the Geadhouse, as 1t was
used chiefly for putting customers into
when they were dead drunk. Outside
the house, facing the mail-track, was
verandah, if continuation of the
shingled roof supported by rough posts
stuck into the bare earth could be
dignified by the name.
Beneath the shade of this rough
verandah, one hot afternoon, lay two
or three drunken wretches overcome
by the fumes of the lightning rum. In
side the bar were five or six bushmen
busily engaged in throwing dice for
drinks. "Odd man out" was the game,
and at the rate of one shilling per
nobbler the amusement could hardly
be considered cheap one, especially
when the after-effects of the eight
ming upon the consumer were taken
into consideration.
Very few station hands on their way
down to town ever succeeded in getting
past Sullivan's; some had attempted
it a score of times and failed. Even
before the unhappy pigeon had arrived
the news was brought that Long
JIM was "going down to Sydney with
a big cheque."
''Let me see-Jim must have been
over two years now on the station
since he had his last burst" the bloat-
ed-looking ruffian of landlord would
remark. 81 dare say he's got over
hundred pounds!" And when Long
Jim hove in sight he was sure to be
hailed by half a score of loafers and
pressed to stop the night.
No-he had determined to push on to
the next stage. His horse was fresh,
and he was anxious to get on. Well,
he would stop and have a plate Of soup
and bite? No-he had got some
tucker" with him.
cat any rate you'll have a drink"
some one would cry.
No, he was ION the teetotal tack"
"Well, you amt a-goin' off like that
without shoutin', JIM" one of tho
loafers would suggest.
"Shout?" the pigeon would cry, thus
probed in his weakest part. "Of
course I'll shout! There's nothing
mean about me, anyhow. What are
you all going to have? Drinks all
round, and one for yourself, Sullivan"
"You must have small drain, too.
Jim, just to show that there's no i'll
will, you know" the landlord would
suggest.
ooh, not for me, Sullivan! I know
your game Of old. Well, just to show
there amt no animosty, give me a
small drop Of what you've got. Here's
better luck!"

Another Horse Trade in Court.

There was another horse trade in
the Justice Court here last week that
was almost as complicated as Sam
Robinsons and the Gypsies. 1t seems
that last summer j. Enzor Reese, of
Pleasant Dale, bought a horse of j. IL.
Brown of kingwood, and gave his note
for it with George w. White for secur-
ity. As a matter of course White had
to pay the note, and so he took the
horse for his pay, but agreed to let
Reese keep IL and have the use of it,
The latter moved over to st. Joe and
then moved on over into Maryland this
winter, taking the horse with him.
White wrote him he would be over
alter the horse when his school was
out, SO Enzor got drunk and traded the
horse off to George Rider, the black
smith, who used to live here. The
latter came over to Ktngwood last
week driving the horse ia "A buggy.
John White met him and knew the
horse and asking Rider about It. the
latter told him how he got the horse.
White at once notified his brother
George, who came to before Justice
Flynn and swore out an attachment
for the horse and Constable Fawcett
went down to Charley Stones where
Rider was stopping and took posses
sion OF the horse. The trial was set
for the next Monday and Rider pro-
tested that he could not wait and must
have the horse to get home with.
The Constable agreed TO leave the
horse with Stone till next day TO give
Rider time to see White and fix t.e
matter up someway After Fawcett
left Rider hItched up and struck for
home leaving word for the Constable
b "A he would be i'm Maryland with the
horse next morning when no came
after htn. So the Constable came
back and swore out "A warrant for
Rider and when Stone found this out
he promised to have Rider and the
horse back by the next day, il they
won not Issue the warrant and ne
was good as his word for he tele.
graphed for Rider and next day he
was back her with the horse and gave
it up and paid all the cost and has
gone home to tackle Reese and get
even with him if ne can.
