Young Chicnwoan Gets Into Scrapc
from Po,i'cuess.
One young man In Chicago found him.
self In u very embarrassing position
during Grand Army cncampment week
because OF the fear of some Of the Wis.
ltOrs from the country who thronged
the city. The newspapers had pub.
llshcd columns Of warnings to the PEG.

trlcksters who swarmcd the city, walt.
Ing to lead the strangers to the tunnels
to see the explosion" or something Of
the kind, and to relieve them Of the.i
ready cash when they reached the first
dark alley.
Herbert McCulla, who travels for o
well.knOwn Chicago gas lamp company,
had Just returned to this city over the
Chicago ana Northwestern Railroad
and was walking south on 9th avenue
to go to his home on the West Side OH
West Madison street car. As he
neared Randolph street he encountered
two gray.ha!red veterans from the
country. and overheard one Of them
advise the other to go to the. policeman
on the next corner and ask where the
Briggs House was. McCulla knew
very well where the hotel was situated,
and, stepping up to the strangers. he
said:
"The Briggs House IL just around the
corner on Randolph street. Come
along, I'm going right past 1t and will
point 1t out to You and save you the
trouble Of looking for a policeman"
Get along with YOU" said one OF the
strangers. "We're onto You confidence
men. We've read Of You In the papers"
The accommodating Chicagoan laugh.

but just at that time u b.ue-coated Off.
Ger appeared around the corner and one
OF the strangers rushed up to him and
reported that the man with the vallse
was confidence man ana had Just
tried to ent!ce them to go with him so
that he could rob them.
The policeman rushed after McCulla
and grabbed him by the collar, demand.
Ing him to explain why lie had tried to
lead the two strangers with him. The
drummer explained TO the officer that
he had merely VOLUNTEERED to direct the
strangers to their hotel and explained
who he was ana what firm he worked

would not believe him, ana asked him
to show evidence Of his Identification

his hand In his pocket 10 get a card or

have Il paper Of any description In his
pocket by which he could prove his
statements. ana to keep from going to
the station he was forced to open his

Poison Ivy belongs to the sumac fam
lily and derives its botanical name from
the ancient Celtic "rhudd," red. and
the Greek "toxlcodendron." or poison
plant. The origin of the poison, which
causes great suffering to many people,
was for q long time a mystery. as the
plant itself contains no active poison,
as do many plants, but II now seems
to be certain that the plant nOurishes
deadly bacilli. which enter the pores Of
the skin and give the poisoned parts
their characteristic appearance. The
three leaves are pale green and the
creeping plant Is to be found IN many
,,arts of the Island Of Montreal. 1t Is
closely related to the Rhus Venetata, or
poison sumac," sometimes also called
poison dogwood." Poison sumac, how.
ever, is shrub. with the drupe green.
ish yellow and only grows In swamps,
Its flowers are green and II Is very
poisonous. The ordinary sumac, with
red fruit and crimson hairs. Is not dan.
gerous.
1t is said that some people cannot go
into the neighborhood Of poison Ivy
without suffering from the poison Of the
plant, while others can handle 1t with.
out any Ill effects. Many antidotes to
the poison have been recommended. as
It affects different people differently.
and among the most efiicacious have
been strong soapsuds and blcarbonate
of soda. One peculiarly painful result
Of rhus tOxlcodendron poisoning Is that
with many people the parts poisoned
are liable to bc affected for several
years afterward at about the same
period the disease was originally
caught. This plant grows erect as well
us decumbent. and In the former case Is
known Us poison oak.
In addition to the aids Of the druggist
however, nature Is said to have pro.
vided most efficient remedy for rhus
toxicodendron poisoning, In the shape
OF the widely spread flower known as
spotted touch.ne.not." or 'Impaticns
fulva." II Is also called the Jewel
weed" and Is very abundant In the
water courses during June and July,
when the rhus toxlcOdendron and the
rhus venenata are most poisonous. The
color Of the flower of spotted touch.
mc-no" Is n deep orange and the spots
are Of u reddlsl-brown. The lip forms

The seed pods burst II slightly touched
and scatter the seeds all around. To
this peculiar property the plant owes
Its common name. 1t Ii also called

woman's Fancy Waist.

The waist with q shawl collar makes

while tucking in some form is al
most universally used. The very
charming May Manton waist shown in
the large drawing combines the two
in a most attractive manner. and IS
singularly we'll adapted both to entire
costumes and odd waists. The model
is of white Liberty satin with trim
ming of lace, and is made over the
fitted lining, but white and colored
Batiste, organdy null, Swiss muslin
and all the similar materials offered
as we'll as soft silks and wool fabrics
are admirably adapted to the style
when the lining may be omitted.
The lining is simply shaped with
fronts and backs, only over it the
seamless back OF the waist proper is
arranged with the fulness drawn
down in gathers at the waist line. The
plastron made of inserted tuckinG is
sewed to the right front lining and
hooked onto the left, under the edge
of the fronts. which are plain at the
shoulders and gathered nj the waist
line. The shawl collar is tucked in
groups, rs indicated, finished and at
tached to the nerk and fronts. The
sleeves arc in bishop style with the
fulness arranged in tucks that fall
free 20 form puffs at the waists. When
the waist is made unlined the plastorn

proposed Celebration.

A national celebration Of the 2OOth
anniversary of the starting Of a news
paper in America will take place in
1904, owing to the suggestion of Mayor
Nichols N an address before the State
Editorial Association at Wilkesbarre,
Penn. The association appointed
committee to confer with the
associations of other States. and If
possible bring it about. In the course
of his address Mayor Nichols said:
John Campbell Is the real founder
of journalism in the United States.
1.-THE Boston News Letter" was born
April "a, 17O4, and existed until 111G
During the first sixteen years Of this
period it was the only newspaper
printed in the colonies. Fourteen
years prior to Campbelps venture Ben
iamin Harris issued one copy Of Pub
lick Occurrences" which was immedi-
ately suppressed by members of the
Kings official family because Of q
distasteful paragraph. The beginning
of American journalism is truly an
event that ought to be commemorated
and it's author deserves conspicuous
place in American history.

APrehistoric EIopement.' !

Faster and faster sweeps the gllsten-
ing cave-man to and fro; lower and
tenser grows the crooning-song. Dazed
with the motion of her head from side
to side to watch the ever-changing
love-play, she does not heed the play
er's gradual approach, when with q
sudden spring lie dashes in upon her,
seizes her with his strong arms, and
drags her screaming, struggling down
the sloping path.
But the glamour is dispelled. and,
alive to the instinct Of self-defence-
the woman bites and struggles, and In
her young strength proves no easy
conquest. Driven to desperate meas
ures, the cave-man seizes from the
ground a stone, stuns her with sud-
den stroke, and as she throws up her
arms to fall, seizes her about the
waist, and, casting her lightly across
his shoulder, hastens down the path.

1.-The young men of the city Of NeW
York." says Mr.. Collins, "are it's glory
and hope. Any work or influence that
tends to elevate and strengthen them
in character and intellect deserves the
support and encouragement Of oil good
citizens. This Is what the truancy
department seeks to do"
The Compulsory Education law ap.
plies to private schools and parochial
schools, as well as public schools, and
all come under the care of the depart
ment of truancy. A boy or girl Of
fourteen whose parents are in such a
position that the money he or she
would earn is vitally necessary may
apply to the Board Of Health, obtain
an employment certificate and go to
work. Any factory, mercantile house
or business firm Of any description en-.
ploying child en- under sixteen without
such certificate is amenable to the
Truant law.
The New York Truant School is es-
tablished at No. 215 East Twenty-frst
street. Complaints are lodged here
with Mr.. Collins. A child committed
to the truant school can only be held
until the expiration of the school year.
However, a child sent to the Catholic
Protectory or the Juvenile Asylum Is
confined until the end of his school in
struction.
Mr.. Collins by committing a boy to
the truant, school reserves to himself
the right of parolling him in the course
Of the scholastic year. Mr.. Collins
never holds out hope Of such pardon,
but it always comes without previous
announcement. For the sake of good
discipline the parole is never given
without the consent Of the principal
to take his former pupil back and the
knowledge of the attendance officer,
and the whole school is made to feel
that the pupil has won the prize by his
own efforts. A probation card is given,

The monument was erected by SAIL

sea, vowed that, if he reached land
safely, he would build stone ship to

funds ran short or his gratitude for
his escape grew less, for he got no
further in the construction Of the ship
than the foremast, the sails and reef
points, all of which are realistically re-
produced. This Is probably the only

has to present himself at the truant
school for inspection, first weekly, af-

is wholly released.
Mr.. Collins is hooking forward to
the erection of truant school in the
country, with grounds and buildings
ample enough for a well appointed
training school for manual and indus
trial instruction. The present build
ing will be used as the receiving house
for the new school. Theplans for this
new truant school have been submit
ted by C. E. J. Synder. Superintendent

in it's object, every effort will be made
to avoid the appearance of a reforma-

and the cost of material. The really
charming May Manton model illus
trated combines many desirable feat
ures, and is well suited to washable
fabrics as we'll as to challie, cashmere,
albatross, French and Scotch flannel
and the like. The original is made
from linen Batiste with trimming Of
needle work insertion and edging, the
fronts being cut away to form the
square neck and the standing collar
omitted. The fronts can be finished
to the neck, as shown in small
sketches, and either gathered or tucked
to yoke depth, the sailor collar being
used or not as preferred.
The backs are simply but correctly
fitted with curved centre and side
back seams, the wide underarm cores
connecting it smoothly with the shape
" fronts. Each side of the opening
in centre the fronts are laid in small
tucks, which run to yoke depth and
provide graceful fulness below. The
sailor collar is joined to the back and
rolled over it's edge, meeting the out
side tuck, and the trimming is ex-
