An Invai,d,s Luck in the woods.

"Speaking Of deer shooting, said
the local enthusiast, reminds me Of
the story of the man up Bethel way.
He had o pulmonary trouble that had
reduced him somewhat and he was
doubtful il his strength would permit
him to make the journey. His pbysi'
clan told him to 90 ahead, but not to
tramp much. In camp, where he ar;
rived much exhausted, his friends told
him to make himself comfortable while
they went out and got him some veni.
son. 80.
"He sat about camp alone until
about 10 O'Clock and then went in and
took his rife out into the open. Here
he sat down on o log and thought OF
his unhappy fate. He then fred a
shot from the rife OF a knot on tree
and hit it fair in the bulls eye. The
sun was warm and bright and he moved
out into it, resting his rifle against
the stump OF pine. He then lit his
pipe and ruminated. A rustic in the
brush aroused him. Looking up no
saw O buck with branching horns
about forty yards away. He reached
over without moving from his seat,
took the rife, rested it on prong OF
the stump, drew bead on the deer and
fred. and the buck fell dead.
"When the hunters who went out
after venison for the invalid came
home, he said, what luck" Oh
we'll have deer meat for you before
we 20 home. Didn't get any to-day
but we saw signs 'How's this for q

them up to q Compound buck, and

Fashion Notes.

winters millinery.
Blue is certainly ono Of the domip-
ant colors now in vogue, for il is blue,
in every tint and tone, for dry OF
evening ear.
Large hats are still set forth by all
fashionable milliners. Those of black
beaver, black satin, and black velvet
are oil in high vogue.
French milliners continue to usc
the wings of birds in profusion, the
entire bird opp caring on many OF the
newly imported models.
A T-shaped handle catches the eye
as something fresh in umbrellas. One

ball OF handsomely marked agate ct
either end Of the crossbar.
In the new ribbons the most scdntc
colorings are noticeable, the light
shades being m ore the exception than
the rule. In sash widths many nov
elites are seen in Persian effects.
Many women of leisure who are
skilled lib tho art OF fine embroidery
are making satin vest fronts, wrought
in delicate patterno in shaded silks,
to be worn beneath open-fronted conts
OF velvet or cloth, finished with satin
revers.
The woman who knows has ripped

LaieEt Fad In Collars.

The dressing OF woman's neck has
assumed more importance lately than
almost any other article Of her attire,
and the smart modiste pays more ut
tention to the cut, Git and style of the
collar than ever before in the annals
CT dressmaking.
1t is not merely necessary to have
soft straight collar around woman's
neck nowadays; she must stand aud
be fitted to pointed, turreted, over
tapping chin-supporting affair, which
is just as much au object OF care and
attention on the part OF the modiste as
any other portion of tho bodice.
The new collar is very complicated
CONNECTION anyway, and its varieties
OF form, cut and style are numberless.
The main point. which should never
DO lost sight Of, is that it must be
very high in the back, while in front
it is low enough to be comfortable
rest for the chin.
Some of the new collars have two
high points rising just under the ears,
while others come up in one high
point in the middle Of the back OF the
neck. Then, again, pretty full box

VIII IN all probability continue to
thrive and prosper Owing to the
strength developed by the various
organizations of railway labor, the
OLD time method of handing a con-
ductor a time check with the in
formation that his services are no
longer required and thus closing
the interview, is out of date.
Under such circumstances our
modern conductor demands that
specific charges be brought against
him and unless they are sustained,
he demands reinstatement, with
full pay for all time lost, and he
gets it, if he has been unjustlv
accused. Under these circum-
stances it is necessary for the
"spotter" to get some corrobora.
tive evidence. For some reason
the publlc is not very much in
sympathy with the "spotter" sys-
TEN and such evidence is hard to
get. However, our "spotter" used
TO sell lightning rods, inducing
farmers to sign mortgages on their
farms disguised as an order for rods
and he adopts similar tactics here,
according to a well known railroad
man Of Nlnita. He sees a passen-
ger pay his fare to the conductor,
makes note oft, finds out name
and residence of the passenger,
and then he waits. If the audi
tors office advises that this par
ticular cash fare was not turned in
by the conductor the "spotter"
proceeds TO get in his fine work.
He approaches the passenger,
possibly a month or two later, in
timating that he is connected with
the legal department of the rail
road, stating that the road has
been sued by some party who
claims that he was violently eject
ed from the train and was grossly
Insulted by the conductor in the
presence Of all the passengers, for
which he claims big damages.
The company having been advised
hat this gentleman was on the
rain at the time and place where
he disturbance is alleged to have
AIKEN place, it is desired to get his
statement of the affair. Of course
,e disclaims all knowledge of the
rouble (Which is natural, as the
alleged disturbance is entirely hcti-
ious) and is willing to make any
lind of an affidavit to the effect
hat the conductor did not abuse
nv one in his presence. The
sspotter" takes down full depo-
ition and incidentally includes a
tatement as to what distance pass
niger rode on that date, and what
of money he paid to the
onductor. This latter intorma-
ion is seemingly of little 'impor-
ance to the passenger, but as he
ttaches bis signature to the above
opposition, in the presence Of
otary, a sardenic grin over
breads the face of the "spotter."

uctor.
