HAPPINESS WRECKED.
Man Lost Golden 0p. portunity.

There is q certain very disconsolate young man over at the treasury depart ment who bends perspiringly over his desk all the day and thinks long and gloomy thoughts about himself. It came about, this state of downhearted- ness of his, because he happened not to have a lead pencil with him one afternoon lately. After the toll of the day was ended for him he was riding out to an inn in the suburbs, where he is staying for the summer. Next to him in the electric car sat a girl whom he had seen but once before, but whom that once had made him long to see again. He had met her at an enter tainment of some kind last winter and he knew she lived in Baltimore. Over ioyed to see her again, he fairly bub- bled with delight when she bowed.
 He talked to her and she talked to him till, timidly enough, he yentured to insinuate that he would be only too grateful for permission to call. Gra- eiously she gave it. She was staying, 'he said, with her aunt in Blank avenue, at such and such a number. Now, the young man is as absentminded being as ever you met and he never trusts his memory for moment.
 He searched his pocket for pencil, but pencil he had none. He is, how ever, a young man of resources. He took out a postal card and registered the address, which had four figures, by tearing little slits in the four sides of the card, each side representing one figure. The name of the avenue he trusted himself to remember. as it is named for the state of his birth.
 The world was very rosy for him for several days till the evening on which he was to make his first visit arrived. Then he dressed himself with great care and consulted the postal card. The little gashes were still in it, but he couldn't remember which side he held next him as he tore them, nor at which corner he began The address may be any one of the dear only knows how many combinations the four figures can be made into. He has consulted the city directory. The girls surname appears for half a column, but nobody of the name lives in Blank avenue The aunt's name. evidently, is not hers. She is lost to him=lost for the want of a lead pencil, and until the relenting fates permit him to meet her again he can only think, self-reproachfully the gloomy thoughts to which l have al- ready referred.--Washingt Post.

COLLAR AND BELT BUCKLES.
Very Stylish and Satisfactory Finish for Neat nnd Tidy
 Shirt Waist.

The newest effects are in belt and neck buckles worn with the almost 100 popular shirt-waists. Just how to fin ish a shirt-waist at the throat and belt is always a problem, particularly if q woman is inclined to be stout The broad belt and the high stock collar are all very we'll for slight young girls, but as shirt-waists are supposed to be cor rect for older women, it is time that something else was found to make them possible. The new style of wearing a belt made of q piece of soft satin rib bon quite wide, and then putting the ends of that ribbon into the buckle. is a very satisfactory fashion. The ribbon is soft enough to draw down at the back, where it can be fastened to the skirt, thus avoiding the ugly gaping apart of shirt and waist. The buckle, quite small one, can be silver studded with precious stones, or in enamel, oXidized silver, or fire gilt. The designs are charming, and the buckles most in- expensive. These waist buckles, how ever, are not so fascinating as the neck buckles. which fasten soft ribbon just at the throat. The idea is to have a piece of ribbon from two to four inches in width and three-quarters of yard in length, or even longer, if necessary, so that it will go around the neck twice. The ends are put into this small buckle, which is worn just at the throat. a little bow of lace being put underneath, if de- sired Harper's Bazar

County Convict Law.

Attorney-GeLeral Davis was asked by an attorney of Little Rock to place H construction on an act of the last gen eral assembly relative to the working of county convicts, and sent the fol. lowing reply; Prior to the act of 1899 it was not clear as to just what the law was upon this subject, and the prisoners suffered hardships thereun- der. TEe act of April 12, 1899, provides that the convict shall receive 75 cents per day, including Sunday, for each day he is hired out to said contractor, in excess of any liability for care or sickness The convict should receive credit for this amount whether he abors for contractor or for the county lnder superintendent.

A FAIR DEMONSTRATION.
They Were Satisfied the Thing Could Be Done, Hut by Some
 One Else.

Mark Twain and his friend, Rev Joseph H. Twitehell, once planned a bicycle ride from Hartford, Conn. ttheir home), to Boston, and wrote beforehand to an ac- quaintanee in the latter city, telling him their line of route and what time be might expect to see them arrive. The appointed time was an ideal one for long run, and the two friends started quite early in the morning. But neither of them was aeeus- toned to long rides, so after 12 or b miles had been ridden, 1t became apparent that each of the riders was waiting for the oth- CT to say something. Finally Twain said, as they came in sight of the railway station in small town they had entered: Let's take the train the rest of the way"
 Of course Mir Twitchell agreed, and so the acquaintance in Boston was surprised by seeing the two friends walk up to his door about one o'clock in the afternoon. He had not expected them till evening, but he greeted them warmly, and addressing MT. Twitchell, said: Well, you made pretty good time, didn't you?"
 "oh. fairly good time for novices," was the reply.
 What time did you leave Hartford?" he asked of Mr. Clemens.
 About seven a. m.o
 "What, you don't mean to say that you have ridden all the way from Hartford to Boston on your bieyelesio
 "No," replied Mark Twain, "but we rode far enough to demonstrate that 1t could be done. ."-Detroit Free Press.
