M'Lean's Newspaper Pur-
chases,
chaSeS.

A funny story is told in connection
with the purchase of the Toledo Com
mercial by John r. Mclean.
It seems that months ago Mr. Nc
Lean had yearning to buy the paper,
and Bernie Layton was dispatched to
Toledo to open negotiations. This was
before Mr.. Layton's departure for AL
asSa.
Mr.. Layton saw the creditors and Sc
cured an option on the concern, and at
last closed the deal.
The funny part of it is that George
W. Hull figured in it without know
ing who was he buyer. 1t was
thought best not to aequaint Mr.. Hull
with the condition of affairs, ana his
part as fgure-head was played in all
innocence. The fact is, Mclean has
been the real owner of the Commercial
for some time, and simply awaited the
proper moment TO assume control.
In line with his purchase of The To-
ledo Commercial is another invest
ment Of the same character made with
in the past few days by Hon. John r.
Acnean In the city of Cleveland
His investment eontemplates no
more nor less than the control OF the

A SONG OF MEMORY.

In the tumult OF cities she slips away,
But wherever the woods are green 4
My half-closed petals of life expand
At the touch of the tender queen;
For she comes from the land of Youth, D.
Ere I drank Of the fount of tears,
With the gold Of the jasmine upon her brow,
And the light Of the vanished years
She has shed the rays of her sun-bright face
When my soul was in deep eclipse,
And has blown the dust of my thoughts afar
With the rose breath of her lips;
For she comes from the land of Youth,
Ere drank Of the fount of tears,
With the gold OF the jasmine upon her brow,
And the light Of the vanished years.
She has led me back to the hills of home,
BY Arcadian woods and streams,
And has clothed the grace of the days gone
by
In vesture born Of dreams;
For she comes from the land of Youth,
Ere drank Of the fount of tears,
With the gold of the jasmine upon her brow,
And the light of the vanished years!

Bazaar.

Separate Waists a Permanency.

Separate waists continue in favor
and give evidence of having taken a
permanent hold. The simple design
shown in the large engraving is both
smart and comfortable. being snug
without tightness and embodying the
suggestion of the sailor style, which
is always admirable for informal wear.
AS illustrated the material is blue
and white stripe, with collar of plain
blue banded with braid, but plain
color is equally suitable, and various
combinations can be made. Where,
as in this instance, the vest matches
the waist, it is effective of white pique
or cloth, and where the collar is blue
the rest can be made white, and if de-
sired the skirt may match. ~"'''.~
The foundation, which is fitted
lining, closes at the centre front, but
the waist proper is fitted with shoulder
and under-arm seams only, and closes
invisibly at the side. The sleeves,
while snug enough for style. are not
over tight, and are finished with cuffs
that match the collar.
To make this waist for a woman of
medium size two and one-quarter
yards of material thirty-six inches
wide will be required.
Republican news item. [volume] (Laport, Pa.) 1896-19??, 1899-08-24

and center back seams, an underlying
box plat laid at the end of the back
seam just below the waist line to give
necessary fulness to the skirt. The
fronts close with buttons and button
holes, gray and yellow cord finished
with tassels tied in front forming a
girdle around the waist. The pointed
hood is shaped by a single seam and
may be lined or not, as preferred. 1t
may be made adjustable or included
in the neck seam with collar, or omit
ted if not desired. The two-seamed
sleeves combine style with simplicity,
as they fit the arm closely and are ex-
tremely comfortable. All kinds of
flannel and Turkish toweling, camels
hair, merino, soft serge and cheviot,
as well as the lighter weights of double
faced cloths, are used to make wrap
pers of this kind. The robe may be
lined throughout with bright plaid to
match the lining of the hood, but the
simpler these garments are made the
more useful and desirable they are.
To make this robe for lady of me-
dunn size will require nine yards of
material twenty-seven inches wide.

A Stylisll Oyerdress.

This overskirt drapery is made Of
spangled net, the lower edge of which

The placket opening in the back is
finished with under and over laps.
and closes invisibly, or fancy buttons
or pins may ornament the closing if
desired. The top fits smoothly over
the hips, falling below in pretty ripples
over the skirt.
Satin or silk skirts trimmed with
plain or satin edged Brussels net OF
mousseline de sole rutfles are usually
worn under draperies in this style,
but any style of skirt can be chosen.
All soft -clinging fabrics are adapted
to the development of this stylish

or grenadine. Braid, ribbon, gimp,

Arizona's Petrified Forests.

The Indians of southwestern Ari-
zona used to visit the petrifed forests
frequently to obtain agate for their ar
row and spear heads, and the material
was scattered over the entire continent
by exchange between the different
tribes from the Isthmus of Panama to
Bering Straits. The great deposit
here explains where all the arrow
heads of moss agate came from, aud
other weapons and implements of
similar material that are found in the
Indian mounds and graves of the
Central and Western States. In the
stone age the agate of the petrifed
forest was the very best material that
could be obtained for both the imple
ments of war and peace of the abort
gines. A scalping knife could be made
very easily from one Of the chips OF
agate and could be ground to very
fine edge. Many crystals were used
for jewelry and ornaments also.

sparrow Hunting as a Business.

Sparrow hunting has become sc
profitable in Kent County that men
have now gone into the business that
heretofore was conducted only for
boys. One Of the most persistent
hunters is Charles H. Sarow, Of Walk
er Township, who one day drew in
bounty from the county $3.50, and
two days later $3.50. Another spar
cow exterminator is Fred E. Nc
Bride, who the other day drew $3.50
in bounties, and more recently $14.
But the gamiest sparrow hunter OF
al is Ernest Cutler, Of this city, who
follows the trail the year round. Last
year the county paid S275 to Cutler in
sparrow bounty. Just so surs as the
sun goes down Cutler appears, just

Ter from the county clerk.
During the legislative session of
1885 the State authorized bounty Of
two cents per head upon all ''birds
known as the common English spar
row." which are considered detri-
ment to the country
A few years ago several Western
States placed bounty on hawks and
wolves. Immediately the mountain
eers began raising hawks and wolves.
It was thrifty business, as the county
pay was 81 per head for hawks and
IS per head for wolves. In this State
at present there is bounty of So per

devoid of the shy animals that no one
cares to hunt for the bounty.-Grand

A London paper gives this story,
which may possibly have moral con-
cealed in it for some one in our own
country:
AS well-known London clergyman
was recently ascending the steps to
his church, an old lady requested his
help. With his usual courtly grace
he gave the old woman his arm. On
reaching the top step she halted,
breathlessly, and asked him who was
to preach.
"The Rev. Mr., -" he replied,
giving his own name.
"Oh DEAR" exclaimed the lady,
''help me down again! I'd rather
listen to the endless grinding of a
windmill. Help me down again, I'll
not go in
The minister smiled and gently as,
sisted her down, remarking as he
parted with her, 'I wouldn't go in
either if I weren't the preacher. -

clever woman was detected. in a
scheme the other day which may
prove advantageous to other women.
She had stylish black hat, trimmed
with huge bows of black taffeta and a
fold or two of the same about the
crown. This answered for ordinary
wear. But the cleverness of the
woman was that she so arranged her
sombre trimmings as to admit the ad
dition of black and white tulie POM
pom, an extra fold of white silk yelled
with black lace, and small bunch of
white viclets at the back. A con-
spicuous jet ornament fastened some
of this together, and the result was a
stunning "new" hat for dressy occa-
sions.
