some of the Pretty Things for Fem
fBlne Wear That Are Re-
neeted There.


The most appropriate of the extern
sive array Of hats for holiday wear are
the graceful little French toques OF
dark moss'green velvet, trimmed with
holly berries, mistletoe sprays and a
cluster Of shaded green ostrich plumes.
Collar bands are higher than they
have ever been, but are made without
the ear-lil1e pieces at the sides and back
which have been used for some time.
Bands and other applications of con-
trasting colors at the top of The collar
are much used. Soft bouillonnes in
front of the collar are msde sometimes
of chiffon. crepe, peau de sole and pean
de eygne.
Stocks are very important factor in
the success of a shirt waist. Linen col
lars have been losing favor for some
months, and it cannot be denied that
they look wintry when coptrasted with
flannel. A stock Of ribbon The same
shade as the shirt waist, finished with
two white linen or null hemstitched
tabs, is the proper neckwear.
Some of The knitted maistcoats for
men now shown in the smart shops are
exceedingly pretty and are most serv-
iceabls for all country sports. An over
coat is heavy and cumbersome for skat-
ing or tramping. but still one must have
some protection from the cold, and this
is what the knitted waistcoet gives. 1t

more comfortable, except perhaps in
very severe weathe-, when the heavy
ribbed sweater, with high, rolled col
lar, is the best Of all projections. For
milder weather the sweater cut away at
the neck so as to show she collar and
tie is also very pretty and rather smart
looking. These sweaters are not COM
monty seen, and they canLct be fonnd
ready-made except at few of the best
shops.
The newest buttons are much less
jeweled than formerly, and taken up as
gown trimmings the small and medium
ones are far more in demand than the
larger variety. Enarneled color tones
axe given TO button surfaces with sone
delicate design thereon. Blister pearls
form the latest novelty button in white,
gray or what might be termed black
pearl, as well as in all the pale shades

The warmest things in skirts not fan
lel are made of soft elastic silk ma
-erial, sort of matelasse cloth, and
edged with embroidered silk rufles.
They are very pretty, but in The French
underwear they are not inexpensive.
New are the tulle hars with crepe
lowers exquisitely harmonized in pale
unset tints. 1t is said that These airy

THE MUsKoeEE BOOMERANG,

The Muskogee Times goes into
ecstases over the announcement
that case of smallpox was dis
covered in the Jail here last week
and necessitated the speedy ad-
journment of the United States
court. The Times draws greatly
upon its fertile Imagination in de-
picting the scenes around the
court house here at the time of ad-
journment and makes statements
at variance with the truth, and
which are unkind, to say the least
of them.
Now the facts are-and the
Daily Chieftain don't want to vary
a hair from the exact truth-the
case we have here in the Jail came
from the Muskogee Jail, and was
sent up here either through ignor-
ance or pure wantonness, and the
responsible parties may take either
horn of the dilemma they choose.
If the board of health and the
marshal's office at Muskogee did
not know that Little Deer had
smallpox when they sent him up
here. they are in some measure ex-
cusable, though certainly guilty
of dangerous carelessness. If they |
did know it, a great wrong has
been perpetrated upon the whole
country. In either event Musko.
gee ought not to be Growing over
the unhappy condition it has
placed this community in.
IT the Times correctly quotes
Marshal Bennett when it states
that he is of the opinion that the
case is not smallpox, he commits
the dual offense of discourtesy to
the medical profession, Of which
he was a whilom member, and of
accusing the board of health of vi
nita of the objectionable blunder
of mistaking well known disease
for smallpox. DR.. Bennett, if
correctly quoted in the Times, re-
Dukes the physicians of Vinita for
their ignorance and holds them
up to the scorn and contumely of
the world as quacks and ignora-
muses., as they stake their reputa-
lions upon the diagnosis of the
case in question.

The costumes are no less peculiar and
vary as much in style as texture, and as
much in scantiness as color; though dark
shades of the natural epidermis, and light
shades of dress predominate. The average
laborer seems TO prefer a free-fowing shirt
as an upper garment, while the weaker sex

and foot gear is noticeable. That the

A Chicken Story.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: While
in camp at Little Rock, Ark, during the
Winter of 1864-65, as we were always on
the lookout for something different from
hardtack, Jim Long. one Of my comrades,
came to me and said: "Pard, do yes want
some chickens?"

chicken within 40 miles OF camp. But he
said: Faith, there is, and | know where;
and they're nice vans, too; they're already
been fattened. just put on We socks and

So we went right up to headquarters and
secured the box; he took hold Of one end
and the other. We carried the box about
200 yards and deposited it on the GROUND,
and took out IL chickens and dressed
them, leaving the rooster to crow for the
Colonel in the morning.
Jim was right when he said they were
fat. do not remember having enjoyed
chicken any more than did those.
The next morning. our Captain came
down to our camp. We could tell there was
something out of the ordinary, for he locked
very sober and his cap was drawn close
over his eyes. This was considered by the
boys as a bad sign, for when everything

he reversed his cap we thought it time to do

with an open court and usually stables and
the kitchen in close proximity.
Our first night at the English was passed
in a room on the ground floor off the court,
with horse tethered close to the window.
1t was fine animal and had an ample bed
of straw, and in view of the possible danger
to our moSketo netting, We recommended a
late visitor comfortably Jagged" TO sleep
with the horse, rather than open the door
for him-and he did so.
The Sleeping-machine, which is really
nothing more than cane-bottom bed with
q netting around it, may be OF oriental
origin, but much of the other furniture, as
well as methods of cooking and eating and
the universally of smoking are all sug-
gestive Of Spain. And so are the marrow
streets and overhanging houses, with
glassless windows protected by bulging
bars and latticed screens, while the di-
versity Of dwellings,, ranging from crude
thatch canopieS and houSe-b boats on the
Pasig, in which families live the year
around, to elegant mansions and palaces
of superior architecture. are likely to impress
every newcomer with the extremes OF life
to be met with here.
The finest architecture is to be found III
the churches and church edifices, which are
numerous, and in instances among the
oldest. Some of them are said TO be coeval
with the wall of the old city, which includes
the Palace and many churches, and which
was built about 1880. These ramparts
constitute rare element of novelty in them
selves, and but little else. In this age Of
improved guns, gunnery and warfare, they
can be of value chiefly as a curiosity and
memento Of the time when Spain was at
the zenith Of her glory as mistress of the
world.
Spain has planted her impress upon the
Philippines and Philippine institutions, and
it remains to be seen whether American
ideas can improve upon what Spain has
done, and the result at the same time
broaden and elevate the National thought.
From first impressions of Manila, it would
appear that such is very likely 10 be the
case. But to accomplish this the work
needs to be carefully considered and as
carefully performed.

THE CHARGE OF THE I'd IOWA AT FORT
DoNELS0N.
BY LIEUT.. MOSES A. Mcco1p


The war cloud shadowed all the land
And darkened day by day;
Rebellion seemed in upper hand
And strengthened for the fray.
Potomac's banks it fortified,
Along the banks deployed;
Defeat all hearts had mortified
And faith in God destroyed.
It's line of strongholds linked chain
Westward stretched far away;
A Gordon of forts through mount and plain
Detied the Unions sway.
Grants eye. strategic, swept thatline-
His genius measured all;
To break its center his design,
Fort Donclson must fall.
Around the fort the troops were massed,
Closer the cords were drawn;
Along the line the order passed,
Advance and fight at dawn.
Three days successive battles ragged,
In vain they charged the foe;
Like giants by the gods enraged,
Americans dealt blow for blow.
Hark to the shrek of bursting shell
And muskets' muffled roar,
Dying groans and victor's yell
AS plying Skies deplore.
Now to the left, far through the wood
Swift flies the silent man;
Amazed, his laggard guardsman could
But dimly guess his plan.
From his own lips the order fell
To Gen. Smith it came:
"Bom bard yon hight with shot and shell,
Throw marksmen round the same.
"Then charge up that abatised hill,
On bayonetS rely;
Fire not a single gun until
The foemen break and fly"
Up sprang the boys, all brave and true,
AS passed the word along;
Though each full well the danger knew,
Twas sweet as notes of song,
Down the ravine through open space,
The right wing Tuttle led;
With Bakers right held back apace,
Both ON in silence sped.
Rightshoulder-shift fixed bayonet, on,
Devoted boys. they ran;
Der broken ground, through tree-top3, on,
Nor faltered any man.
The earthworks frowned, out poured the
fire,
Death reigned on either hand;
A holocaust was offered there
To God and native land.
Through fire and smoke and death they
With line maintained full we'll.
And paused not till they reached tn g crest
Or toward it, facing, fell.
The rebels broke ard fed before
That dumb, determined foe;
The winds the shout of victory bore
To Grant far down below.
Yonder, beyond, the brave dead stand,
Reckoning on before;
They gave their lives to save our land,
Cioutman and many more.
The color-guard the banner bore
Till falling, one by one,
Lone Twombly from deaths grip it tore
And he'd it to the sun.
The sun went down, the warriors slept
On arms the long night through,
While picilets round their vigils kept
On rampant and i'll slough.
When morning came, upon the wall
A truce flag kissed the sky;
The welcome sound, the buge call,
Told that the end was nigh.
That charge victorious called to arms
The legions East and West,
From Office, shop and stores and farms
With valor-swelling breast.
With Donelson was made q way
Into Secession's shell
And Shiloh, Corinth, Vicksburg lay
Meath Grants all-conQuering spell.
That flag through Georgia proudly waved
And Sherman swept the sea,
Richmond was fianked, the Union saved,
Peace came, and all are free.
No drawer charge was ever made,
No greater victory won;
The Seconds fame will never fade
Till life's last setting sun.
