NOT HIS CUSTOMARY STYLE.
tiOns and Signed with
His Left Hand.

"Bank clerks are so often called upon
for directions that they sometimes fall
into the habit of giving them in a hur-
ried and mechanical manner, conse-
quently they are frequently misunder-
Stood" remarked the clerk of an in
stitution in New York, says the Wash
ington Star. ''For instance, the usual
formula when stranger is called upon
to sign his name is: Sign here-pen
and ink at your left hand One morn
ing last week a stranger entered our
bank and asked me for certificate
of deposit for considerable sum of
money which he handed over. count
ed the money and found the amount to
be as stated and hurriedly said: Sign
there, sir-pen and ink at your left
hand
well, it took the stranger long
time to sign his name, but l thought
nothing more of it and issued the GER
tificate of deposit. About week later
the same man, whose face had forgot
ten, reappeared and presented the GER
tificate. He dashed off an ornate sig
nature, which / proceeded to compare
with the first signature. The two were
vastly different, as the first one was
apparently the labored effort of an old
man.
"'I can't pay you this money, SIR
said.
"'Why notY asked the astonishrd
stranger.
Because it is not the signature of
the man to whom issued the certifi-
cate of deposit replied.
"'Well, said the stranger, when /
was here week ago you told me to
write my name with my left hand, and
I did so, but 1 can't write very well
that way"
Then will you oblige me by writ
ing your name with your left hand
again?' I asked, as a light dawned
upon me.
Certainly saSd the man, and after
much labor he produced a facsimile of
his first signature, and apologized and
paid him his money!

HOUSE FURNISHINGS.
To Make Rooms Comfortable and
Original Dispense with
ConventionaIity.

In furnishing an apartment people
as rule make the mistake of buying
too heavy and dark furniture, chiefly
because the conventional Suits of
oak or black walnut for the dining
room, and the regulation upholstered
satin sets for the parlor are shown
to them by the shopkeepers as the
correct things to buy. Their rooms,
in consequence, have the eminently
respectable appearance of city
clearinghouse. If you want your lit
tie home to look original and distinc-
tive, put conventionality out of your
head. Do not think it necessary to
have heavy reps or damask curtains,
with lace inside curtains, because Mrs.
Jones has her windows hung in SIM
liar fashion. Try embroidered muslin
and chintz; choose a pretty, light pat
tern for the latter, and upholster a
couple of low rattan armchairs and a
sofa with the same material. The
other chairs should be different.
Specimens of mahogany fiddle
back" an embossed leather, Dutch
marquetry, are all desirable and give
a refined look to the room, says the
New York Tribune.
In your dining-room buy your fur
niture unpublished. This can be done
by special arrangement at the same
price that the shiny vanished oak,
cherry or black walnut sets cost in
the shops, and it is astonishing how
such a slight difference will give an
appearance of good taste to your
room. Do not have carpets. If pos
sible, put wood carpeting on your
floors. If you cannot afford it, stain,
varnish and wax your floors. Begin
by buying few rugs, and add to your
stock by degrees. In your double
bedroom put two single enameled
iron beds, side by side, instead of one
wide one. A sofa on hinges placed
across their foot, piled up with cush-
ions, is a great convenience, and is
both ornamental and comfortable. A
broad pinewood table made into a
duchesse dressing table is both cheap
and pretty, and with good glass
and separate chest of drawers is in
better taste than bureau.
Make your servants room attrac-
tive. 1t will pay you in the end. Put
in a comfortable rocking-chair, writ
ing table and all that you would re-
quire yourself to make you content
ed. And in your kitchen do not for
get the easy chair that will give your
cook the sometimes much needed five
minutes rest.

PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR.
Tasty Novelties in Hats, Gowns and
Bodies Tor the Winter
Season.

An extreme novelty in yelling is the
chiffon veil of black or white, with
dots of gold and black.
The "beaver" felt is again in evil
dence, in quite the fashion of dozen
years ago. The soft, wide brim is
caught up at the front by sweeping
ostrich plumes, held by a large steel
or gilt buckle. The fat crown is SIM
ply draped with velvet, ending in
points, says the New York Tribune
Some of the new lace gowns shown
in the shops are exquisite. One, for
instance, is of creamy net, inset with
white lace figures, outlined with black
chenille and embroidered with jet.
Floral sprays in raised work of gold
run between these lace figures.
Royal blue is used in some of the
newest gowns. A wool costume of
this rich shade has Directoire jack

tails, open waistcoat of Persian panne
and chemisette of tucked ecru nous
seine trimmed with gold braid. The
skirt has the front panel and the

mel to match, or vice versa.
White flannel and white mohair are
popular materials for shirt waists, and
usually are stitched with black and
trimmed literally with tiny black but
tons.
A dressy bodice is made of white
silk, overlaid with tucked black silk
.mousseline and rows of black inser-
tion. The collar and yoke are of alter
nate rows of black cording and pink
panne. Scarf and bow of the muslin
corded on the edge with pink panne,
finish the waist line.

A MOMENTARY SHADOW.
Brought Trouble to the One Who Saw
1t nut 1t Was Quickly
Dispelled.

Mr.. Barkins said it was pleasant sit
ting in the freight, and he hoped Mrs.
Gray wouldn't light the gas on his ac-
count Besides, the street lamp threw
a strong glow into the room and even
made the wall at the end of the back
drawing-room as bright as white sur
face can be, writes Grace Duffie Boyian,
in the Chicago Journal.
So Mr.. Barkins sat down in rocker
at the front window and Mrs. Gray
took similar chair six feet or so away,
and as they talked of the election and
the weather they rocked, one to the east
and one to the west, and Mrs. Gray,
who was an energetic little person,
bobbed her head to accentuate every
thing she said.
Mr.. Gray, who had been out to borrow
a hammer from the next-door neigh
Dor, happened on his return to enter
the house by side door and go into
the back parlor first. Once there he
stopped and stared at the wall as one
stupefed. The shadows of the people
in the other room were thrown on the
white surface, and the huge, distorted
shapes seemed to rock toward each
other, kiss, separate, and rock forward
again.
Jealousy clutched the husbands
heart. Here was trife lighter than
air, since it was shadow. But what
proof could be more strong? He went,
in one brief moments space. through
all the fortunes he had read of in his
life.
Annie" he cried, in anguish, and,
as the condemning shadows met again
she answered:
Yes. dear. Come in. Mr.. Barkins is
here waiting for you"
He strobe in, his neighbours hammer
in rigid hand. Mr.. Barkins was gent
" rocking in the window and Mrs. Gray
swayed in her wicker chair six feet or
SO away. He glanced out and saw the
shadows meeting.
How are you, Barkins, old man?
How are your" he said, cordially.
.Glad you came up. Take off your over
coat and stay to dinner"
But he only laughed that night when,
after the guest had gone, Mrs. Gray
said: II never knew before that you
were so fond of that man Barkins!"

Attorney Lindsay Argues Against
His Clients Extradition.
Washington, May 23.--John ID. Lind
say, attorney for Charles +. Nicely, APP.
pealed before the house judiciary com.
mittee and submitted an argument
against the proposed eXtradition bill. He
also presented a voluminous brief. The
proposition to subject an American citi-
zen to trial in country where a Spanish
system of laws is in vogue. he contend.
cd. was utterly opposed to American ira
ditiOns. The fundamental theory at the
base of our system, he said, assumed a
man placed in Neely's position to be in.
nocent until competent and legal evidence
was adduced to prove him guilty. This
fundamental principle, he claimed, was
houted by the Spanish law. which was
based on the old Latin system and as,
sumed a man guilty as soon as charged.
The burden of proof was placed upon
him
MIR. Lindsay was closely questioned by
members of the committee. He claimed
that Nicely could only be tried in the
United States and only upon the charge
of violating law making it II felony to
bring into the United States money EN-.
hezzlcd from the United States The
funds in the custody of the United States,
though the property of the island of Gu
ba, were assumed by law to be the prop
erty of the United States.
This was the statute upon which Nicely
was arrested. Mr.. Lindsay said The
penalty for the violation of this law, he
continued. WAS imprisonment for from
siN months to five years. Mr. Lindsay
said the proceeding pending before Gov
ernor Roosevelt in the requisition from
Governor General Wood for Ncely's sur
render was for the purpose of trying him
under section 40l of the penal code of
Cuba.
That section fixed a penalty of impris-
onment from one day to - years for NAL
versation. Mr. Lindsay said he under
stood that conviction for violating this
statute carried with it provision for
Stacking the prisoner and combining him
in dungeon. lie argued that it was i'm.
possible for an American citizen to ob.
tain a fair trial in Cuba at this time.
The fact that Nicely can be tried in the
United States. he claimed. was com.
plete reason why he should not be taken
to Cuba.

The decision of the United States
Supreme Court over the notorious gov
ernorship question must have wrought
a sudden and decided change in the
whole character Of the state of Ken
lucky and its people. For immedi-
ately upon receiving the news GOV.
Becllham either makes il startling
discovery, or else he perjurcs Himself
before the world as he says: al be-
lieve the people of Kentucky are the
best people on the earth, as law abid-
ing and as conservative as the people
of any other state in the Union.
notwithstanding the new govern
or's pride in his possessions, however,
the public will continue to hold a far
different opinion regarding the trans
actions that have taken place there
this winter. The decision of the
United States Supreme Court does
not in the least change the situation.
1t was not to them question of right
between Taylor and Bcckham, but a
question of court jurisdiction. This
is summed up in one paragraph from
the finding Of the court: "Wherc con-
trOversieS over the election of state Of
ticers have reached the state courts in
the manner provided by and have been
there determined in accordance with
the State Constitution and laws, the
cases must necessarily be rare in which
the interference Of this court can prop
erly bc involved" This leaves the
matter right where it stood when the
Kentucky Court of Appeals had rem
dered its decision on tcchnicaities
which could not consider the trickery
that gave legality to the vote Of the
state assembly declaring Goebcl and
Beckham as governor and lieutenant
governor respectively.
This is one of those peculiar cases
where it is beyond the power of the
courts to decide on the line of right
and wrong between the two parties,
but if expectations are fulfilled the
people will decide at the next cleo
tion whether their choice is Taylor or
Beckham, and it will be the former.
