The Brave Work of a Wife.

The first sea fight after the battle OF
Bunker Hill was that between the cap
tured schooner Unity and the British
armed cruiser Margaretta, Lieutenant
Moore. The men who came from
Pleasant River to the American shin
were short of powder, having only two
or three charges each. 1t appears that
one of them, Josiah Weston of Jones'
boro' forgot his powder horn. After
his departure his wife, Hannah noticed
the oversight, and, following the trail
through the woods, reached Machias on
the next day with the precious powder.
In this plucky tramp through the
the woods, Mrs. Weston was accom-
panied by her husbands sister Re-
oecca Weston, frail girl. Is years old.
Mrs Weston herself was in her sey-
enteenth year, and had been married
hVe months. The powder, which was
carried in bag, weighed forty pounds.

Phussandphret,

Have you heard of the land called Rhuss-
andphret
Where the people live upon woes and re-
Its climate is bad, I have heard folks say,
Ihere's seldom, If ever, a pleasant day.
Its either too gloomy from clouded skies,
or so bright the sunshine dazzles one S
eyes;
'Tis either so cold one is all of a. chill,
Or else It's so warm it makes one i'll:
The season is either too damp or too dry,
And mildew or drought is always nigh.
For nothing that ever happened yet
Was just as it should be in Phussand-
phret
And the children-it really makes me sad
To think that they never look happy and
1t is, oh, dear mer' until school is done.
And tits then, There never is time for
fun"
Their teachers are cross, they all declare.
And examinations are never fair
Each little duty they are apt to shirk,
Because they're tired, or it's too hard to
work.
Every one is as grave as an owl.
And has pouting lips or a gloomy scowl
The voices whine and the eyes are wet
In this doleful country of Phussandphret
Now, if ever you find your feet are set :
on the downhill road into Phussandphret,
turn and travel the other way,
Or you viii never know happy day
Eollow some cheerful face-'twill guide
70 the land of Look-at-the- Pleasant Side.
Ihen something bright you will always
see,
No matter how dark the day NAV be.
you'll smile at your tasks and laugh in
your dream
And learn that no liz is as bad as ii seems.
So lose no time, but haste to get
AS far as you can from Phussandphret.

Blue is certainly one of the dominant
colorS now in vogue, for it is blue, IN
every tint and tone, for day or evening
wear. 1t ranges from deepest Dewey
or Admiral blue, to the palest hyacinth
and lavender dyes. Heliotrope and gray
are a close second for demi- dress
toilets, and a rival in evening dress is
pink in all it's lovely guises, from faint
est sea-shell shades to deepest rose,
with a glow of damask red in the dye.
Among novel styles in trimming
which have appeared, fur is used TO
emphasize and enrich the floral and
other designs on lace or net. Bold.
substantial patterns are selected for lie
fur applications, and of course the
heavier grades of lace lend themselves
best to this class of enrichment while

hair furs are most adaptable. If very
deft, it is suggested that the home
worker skilled in fine needlework could
make very handsome trimmings for her
own adOrnment. Probably furrierS
might be induced to sell the minute
cuttings that they can find no use for,
and then many women have remnants
of their own which could be turned to
account. At all events, attention is
called to this new sort of ornamental
ton, and it is only to be added that d
furrier's needle, which cuts three ways,
will be required. There are but few
kinds of lace of the proper richness and
quality that will bear more than the
lightest addition of fur en- applique.
The new vicunas and French camels-
hair goods are particularly handsome
this season, and thus far some of the
most attractive and stylish tailor gowns
have been made of these materials.
While very protective in quality, these
fabrics are wonderfully light. Weight
does not invariably mean warmth and
these new goods are soft and downy in
their strictly pure wool web and woof.
The black goods in these weaves are
especially handsome.
Every one knows that a tweed cos
tune is one of the most enduring and
valuable gowns that a woman can pos
sess. To some minds it surpasses even
the renowned English serge in those
sterling qualities that are the chief at

In spite of the usefulness of serge
fabrics, so long held up as model
weaves for general uses, a genuine all
wool tweed is certainly a, very wise Sc
lection for hard winter wear.

GILLETT WILL COME BACK.
Hunt Says He Has Made a COmpro-
mise with Creditors.

Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 16.-Grant c. Gill
LETT the Kansas cattle plunger, will return
to the United States and face his creditors
in Kansas City, on or before Feb. /, ac-
cording to a statement made to-day by
Charles F. Hunt, who came here from Chi
huahua, Mex, several days ago. and who
has had numerous conferences with Gil
letts principal creditors.
Hume departed for Mexico this afternoon,
and just before his departure he admitted
for the first time that he came north as
the representative of the Kansan whose
failure for over million dollars startled
the financial world few weeks ago.
Mr.. Hunt stated that he had arrived at
a Thorough understanding with Ginetts
creditors. that Mr. and Mrs. Gnlett would
come north at once and that there would
be no prosecution on account of the al
legged questionable mortgage transactions.
In fact. he declared that Gillett mad never
had any fear of the outcome of the mat
ter should he be brought before the courts,
and that his object in seeking refuge in
Mexico was to avoid the expense and an
noyaIce which he would have been sub
iected 10 in the event of arrest.
MIR. Hunt stated also that Gillett had no
largo sum of money, as had been reported,
aud that he will make no big payment to
his creditors. On the contrary, according
10 Mr.. Hunt, Gillett will be serviceable 10
his creditors principally in assisting them
TO straighten out his tangled affairs, and
10 convert into cash his cattle and other
nroperty scattered over Southern Kansas
andffbe territories. Gillett, he says, desires
N wind up the whole affair and begin life
anew.
Mr. Hunt declined to state the terms of

denied this statement in the most positive
terms. Other known and supposed cred

prosecution
