A woman, with a freshly plackened
eye and traces of recent tears on her
face, came hurriedly into a police mag
istrate's office one morning, and asked
for the arrest of her husband on a
charge of beating her.
The brutal husband was arrested and
brought before the magistrate. He
was a hard-looking citizen, large Of
frame, repulsive in appearance, and
about threefourths drunk. The wife.
on the contrary, was slight and deli
cate, and her hands were wrinkled and
knotted with hard work.
The trial was short bill" as she
called him. made no defense He was
apparently too lazy to take the trouble.
The wife had cooled down consider
ably, and gave her testimony with ex-
IRENE reluctance, as is the custom in
such cases; but the guilt of the pris-
oner was clearly established, and the
magistrate, after featuring him sharply
and Indignantly on his brutality, was
about to prescribe the necessary pun
ishment, when the pale-faced victim
spoke up.

a Model Witness

During the investigation of the Maine
disaster an old seaman was called be-
fore the Court of Inquiry to tell what
he knew about it, He was solemnly
sworn to tell the truth and nothing but
the truth; Furthermore, he was eau
toned not to repeat hearsay; his per-
sonal experience was the only testi-
mony that would answer the law.
And now tell us what you know
about the explosion of the Maine" said
one of the officers.
"Well sir" said the old bluejacket,
Il was a-corking it off in me 'ammick
(hammock), and card noise and
walked up in the orspital. That's all |
know about it, sir"
The court maintained its gravity,
states the Chicago Record, from which
this story is taken. and dismissed the
witness.

slang for sleeping. When they lie down

ing gowns do not change as often or as
absolutely as in high dresses. The even
ing gown is always becoming, if the
shoulders permit. and is easier to fit and
to put up an effect in than is the less
dressy bodice. This is quite an array of
recommendations.
AS to the form these bodces take the
long slcered evening gown is not old
fashioned, but it lacks character. The
first of these pictures presents a method
by which it can be brought up to date.
Let it have a cap sleeve like this, one
that fits the round of the shoulder per-
fectly and narrows to catch the edge of
the bodice whore it seems to pass under
the arm. This cap sleeve may be met by
either a long glove or the top of mitten-.
sleeve made of the material of the gown.
Such an arm finish marks the gown as
the latest, vet there is only alert atten-
ton to fashion involved, not lots of

plurality vote of 1887 in Delaware,
II. 4s7 in West Virginia and 2.232 in

2 the little old town that l left one day,
Because it was quiet, still
Has the name that it had when went
away,
And stands on the same old hill;
But the ones that were dear in the little
old town,
With its one wide street running up and
down,
Have ceased to sit on the porches where
The roses were trained to climb;
They have ceased to sew and to white
there,
As they did in the dear old time.
The little old church with its woodet
sheds
Still stands as it stood of yore;
But the ones who knelt and who bowed
their heads
Are worshiping there no more!
And the little old school where i cared
my name
On the homemade desk stands just the
same
But the boys who are batting the ball
to-day
And the little maids, fair and fee,
Are not the children who used to play
On the common there with me
The little old house, so dear, so dear.
Stands just where it used to stand;
But not for many and many a year
Has the latch obeyed her haad-
The hand in which my hand was laid
When my first few faltering steps were
made
And in the little old parlor there,
Overlooking the little lawn.
Another sits in her easy chair
And hears the clock tick on.

And over the doors of the little old stores
Arc names that l never knew.
And the dream that was dear of the ''old

Can never. alas. come true.

money The dress pictured was rose pink
satin-faced cloth. The Princess of
Wales scarf was a darker shade of lib
erty silk. The tucked cap sleeves were
met By long gloves of pink undressed
kid to match the scarf
In the list of newly fashionable ar
rangements is one that is a revival of
what held but a few years ago. 1t is the
perfectly plain bodice, fitted perfectly
with narrow shoulder straps for sleeves,
and either a square or pointed cut-out
There is shown here pretty gown of
blue velvet thus made. The velvet was
cut down in a point front and back, and
the point. filled in with Irish lace over
satin, brought the cut-out to square
outline. Skirts trail and usually are
made with overdresses, or overdress eff
feet. The princess evening gown is much
in vogue, still the belt holds its own, es-
pecially if on a round waist of the long
type All belts are high at the hack, ind
droop sharply in the front Lace. net and
chiffon are still favored for evening wear.
A great many of the handsomest box
gowns at the opera are of net spangled
or embroidered. These gowns are sold
for very little, or one can pay lot as
she likes. Made up, it is hard to judge
of the cost. All look well. There seems
a tendency to delicate effects and small
spangles, but this leaning is but slight,
and the very next evening gown to catch
and hold your attention may show a
downright reversal in this respect.
In the second model of this group is a
lace polonaise belted and open from cut
out to belt, and from the belt spreading
to show the underskirt. Such an under
gown is usually silk of some delicate
color, often white as was this one. Ell
bow or shoulder sleeves are usual. Net
embroidered in cashmere colors, and net
applied with arabesques or velvet, satin
or chenille are very handsome. The off
shoulder gown is still worn by the WON
an with pretty shoulders. There is usu-
ally shoulder strap, and a fall of drap-
cry below the shoulder. Pictured here
are two of this grade. The first was
white liberty silk in belted princess form.

the folds the lining shows and the beauty
of the garment is thereby enhanced. All
cloaks have beautiful high and out-wav-
ing collars. Many have hoods, too. Yok-
ed eloaks are a new idea. and serve TO
relieve the garment of the clumsy and
short-necked look that has taken from
their beauty. The yoke may be of fur.
and from it rises a collar that spreads all

folds. Below the yoke, that the slender

oId-fashioned cloak made quite plain, of

is almost sure to have long scarf. 1t

collar being ermine. There is always a
suggestion of close fit about the shout

as is put about shoulders is of a kind to
emphasize the under-ft of the shoulders.

McKinleyisn as a LUXURY.


That the election of William McKin-
hey has proved an expensive expert
ment, amounting to luxury nor of
any benefit to a free people, is demon
strated every day. If the country has
not been plunged into the worst tinan-
cial distress it ever experienced is due
to the good luck of famine, increase of
demand for American productions,
quality of workmanship and various
other causes not connected with any
thing Mr.. Mckinley has ever advocat-
ed or brought to US any more than a
! comet is the cause of the measles. In
fact every act of his administration
has been in direct violation of the pub
lie welfare and for the advantage of
special interests and private concerns.
Our burden of taxation is now so
heavy that the public treasury is over
laden with the peoples money, and
there is no way devised to get rid of It
other than to turn it over TO the same
spectators that put Mckinley in Of
| flee. Here is the official record, and it
is very bad showing for any admin
istration to give the people in justitica-
| ton Of its retention in power.
