II Did Not Work.

"A good, strong bluff at the proper
time is a very good thing, but 1t may
fall fiat" said a we'll known travelling
man who is at present visiting Wash
ington. ut was at one of the best
hotels in Kansas City a few days ago
that one of the guests stepped into the
lobby to leave his umbrella, and not
desiring to go to his room thought he
would try scheme of his own to pre-.
vent some one from walking Off with
it, Taking a slip of paper from his
pocket in big black letters he wrote
the following notice: Beware! The
man who owns this umbrella weighs
over two hundred pounds and can
strike a ten-ton blow. He will be back
in fifteen minutes 1t was not long
after that some one was attracted by
the sign, and he feared not the conse-
uuences of the dire threat. Quickly
taking the coveted umbrella he re-
moved the paper, and turning 1t over,
wrote on the back as follows: The
man who took the umbrella weighs
less than one hundred and fifty pounds,
hut can walk ten miles an hour. He
is never coming back. '"-Washington

A DOUBLE CHIN.
II It Should Offend Thee, Have Sur.
peon Cut 1t OF.

1t Is no longer necessary for wo.
men to suffer annoyance or chagrin
from the double chin that so often &C.
companies good living and advancing
age. Simpler and more effective than
massage, diet and other prescribed
treatments Is the surgical operation
which removes the super1uous flesh,
and leaves so slight scar that in
short time 1t disappears entirely. A
New York woman who underwent the
operation says: II went to an emin-
ent surgeon. He examined my neck,
and said, Boob! That is nothing
Then he listened to my heart, and de-
clared that could take anaesthetics
with perfect safety. My double chin
had been the bane of my existence for
years. I dreaded the operation, but
made up my mind to submit to heoric
measures rather than to endure con-
tinuous modification. SO to the hos
pital went. The surgeon and his as
sistants were polite and considerate,
yet the whole thing seemed terribly
formidable. had thought of backing
out even then, but the surgeon gave
me an encouraging word, and march
ed to the operating table like lamb
to the slaughter.
After that / knew nothing until I
awoke in clean little room with my
head swathed in stuff, that made me
look like a mummy. The bandages
that went around my chin and over
my head contained something that
stiffened after they were in place and
held my head as If 1t were in plaster
cast. Outside Of that came yards and
yards or something like gauze. felt
little sick from the ether but other
wise had no pain. But dreaded the
day when the bandages should be re-
moved. I thought that would kill me.
TO my surprise, the doctor unwound
and unwound the bandage until my
throat was bare, and not bit of stick
Ing had there been. The vaseline, or
something like it, which had been a6.
piled on the first layer Of cloth had
prohibited that. Then l was bandaged
up afresh, but not so rigidly as at first.
In ten days I was able to leave the
hospital, and in fortnight more no
one would have have known that any
thing had happened to me, except that
I had lost my double chin, result
that causes general comment upon
my improved appearance and untold
satisfaction to myself. II should be.
gin to lay on flesh there again l would
think no more Of going to the hospital
to have it removed than Of going to
the chiropodist or the manicurist.

A Mirror Of Fashion Where Correct

The stage continues to form the

Possibly spectators never give
thought to the fact that these constant
changes Of costume form no inconsid-

CROkER'S CIGARS.
How a Senator Prevented the Dis.
covery of The Real Donor.


At the Hoffman House they are talk
Ing Of a scandal in Richard Croker's
Democratic club. II appears that
shortly after the elevation of one Of
the jurists of Tammany Hall to
seat in one of the minor Courts this
gentleman thought 1t would be kind
and delicate thing to do to supply
Richard Croker a sufficient number of
cigars for his daily consumption.
Therefore, whenever opportunity Of
Tered, he slipped handful Of perfec-
tos into the pocket of the Democratic
leader and said nothing about it. Mr..
Croker, of course, was very much sur
prised when he put his hand in his
pocket to find lot Of cigars. but the
story runs that he was never able to
catch the man who put them there.
When Mr.. Croker became daily
visitor at the Democratic Club, and 1t
was his custom to take off his over.
coat and hang 1t on certain peg
svery night. he found a pocket of the
coat full of cigars when he put 1t on.
According to the story, an eminent
State Senator discovered this strange
custom. So one evening, while await
Ing the arrival of his chieftain, he no.
iced on which hook the coat was
oung. He took it off, hung it on an
,ther hook, and substituted his own
coat, with the result that the jurist
was fooled and the Senator got the
cigars. But that would not have been
30 bad had 1t not happened on this
particular night. The Democratic
,hieftain was anxious to discover who
It was who kept him supplied with SO
fine a brand of cigars. For the pur-
pose of ascertaining, some of his
friends made note OF the absentees
each night. OF course, if a man was
not there he could not have put the
cigars in the coat.
BY this process of elimination on
his particular night but two men,
,ers were left under suspicion. One
If these was the eminent jurst, and
,n that evening the Democratic leader
;ound no cigars in his pocket, thus re-
ieving the jurist of suspicion. The
other member under suspicion was
iot there at all, so 1t was decided that

SEEDING RAiSlNS.

Tons Daily.
Unlike the eastern imitation, the
California seeded raisin is subjected
to a dry temperature of 140 degrees
Fahrenheit from three to Ave hours,
after which the fruit Is submitted to
a chilling process, and while In this
reduced condition OF temperature Is
passed through the cleaning or
"brushing" machines, which remove

The raisins having been prepared
through this alternate heating and

a capacity of from ten to twelve tons

CAT ADOPTS RABBITS.

A cat on the farm of Andrew Harris.
near. McKeesport, Pa, has adopted
four baby rabbits in the place of the
litter of kittens which she recently
brought into this world and which
Mr.. Harris thought the world could
get along without. The day after the
kittens disappeared the cat was OBJ
served carrying something In her
mouth to the barn. Three times she
was seen making the same journey,
and then Mr.. Harris made an investi-
cation. He found, hidden in the hay,
three baby rabbits. While he was
looking at them puss appeared for the
fourth time carrying another little rab.
bit in her mouth. 1t was deposited
with the others and she lay down with
them, puurred with the greatest OF
pride and satisfaction.
The young rabbits are getting along
finely. They hop all about with their
foster mother. Mr.. Harris is proud
of his cat and is permitting her to
raise her queer family undisturbed,
