AP. r.. R. sLEEPER NEEDED.

1t is decidedly disappointing to this
city that General Superintendent G. L.
Peck, of the Pennsylvania Lines (south-
west system), who came to Wheeling
in response to an invitation from the
Board of Trade, to hear Wheelings
plea for a better New York service by
putting a sleeper on the evening train
(the Ohio Valley Express) which would
be attached at Pittsburg to the Pennsyl-
vania's fast night train for Philadel-
phia and New York, could not promise
the favor asked
1t is but a small request considering
the Importance of this city, but it would
mean great deal to Wheeling travellers
over the Pennsylvania lines east, who
now are compelled to run the slim
chances of getting sleeper at Pitts
burg, which is always an annoyance
and in case of failure a very decided in
convenience.
1t is TO be hoped the importance of the
matter will be urged upon the Philadel-
phia officials. 1t would be of mutual
advantage to the road and the city.

Years trying to pull the town out of the
Yellow Mud and give it a standing, a few
of his Admirers got together and nomi-
mated him as an Independent Candidate
for Mayor, saying that the Citizens would
be glad to show their Appreciation of all
that he had done for the Town.
Thereupon all of the white whiskered
Grouches and the weeping Tax Dodgers
and the variegated Fossils who had been
hanging as Dead Weight on the Com
nunity for several Decades saw a Chance
to Catch even. They got out their Sledge
Hammers and Cleavers and made grand
Rush for the Philosophical Man and all
the Things they did to him it would take
too long to tell. Every one that ever had
to part with an Assessment was glad of
the Chance to jump up and down on the
Bogie Man and try to Gouge him in vi
tai Spot. They did him up and Buried
him deep and refused to Mark the Spot
The Mayor they put in was a Wooden
Man who had been sitting in a Rocking
Clock tick. His election was considered a
great Victory for the Tax Payers because
it was known that he would not recon-
mend any Expensive Improvements or
anything else

Since the stoppage of the sale of beer
in the canteen at Fort Schuyler, New
York, there have been forty courts
tial for drunkenness since February IA,
while before that time there were but
three in two and a half years. This
looks as if it were infinitely better to
permit the soldiers to drink their beer
vision than to let them go "on tear"
in outside doggeries.

RAINY DAYS.


! hear the dripping OF the rain.
All day II patters on the pane.
And running down the roof with glce
1t tries TO sing song TO me
The rain drops dancing trip away.
AS though their hearts were light and gay,
1t makes us feel forlorn and lone.
We miss the sunshine from the sky
For its warm rays we longing sigh.
The floating clouds seem drear and cold.
For they Dame Natures tear drops hold;
But as our sorrow puraes
So nature weeping Ger rovives
The plants which wtther by tho sun,
Thus victory the rain hath won.
Though rainy days have of depressed,
Let US believe that Il is best
For If the sunshine e'er held sway,
And we had ne'er a rainy day
We would not half appreciate
The sunshine that was never lat@s
But when dark clouds will Intervene.
Well love it better, when we've seen
How II compares with rainy days.
And can our spirits ever raise.
And fill our hearts with such sweet peace,
When natures weeping seems 70 cease.
We must have rainy days in life,
With sorrow. parting, fear and strife
But when they cease and pass away.
Sweet love ana peace will then hold sway.

Flowers in the Pulpit.

IF you want some nice flowers"
said the man with the red mustache,
"just 60 to church Oh Sundays and
you'll find them on the altar. No mat
ter how hard up a church may be and
how closely it may count Its expenses
in other directions, 1t seldom econo-
mizes in flowers. 1t Is not the big
churches alone that scorn to stint
themselves in flowers. The little
chapels whose parishioners are GER
tafnly not rolling in wealth, and where
every penny is held at its par value
likewise provide a splendid floral Of
fering to gladden. the eyes Of pastor
and congregations. OF course, in q
good many less pretentious houses OF
worship beautiful effects are obtained
from the artistic arrangement OF rath-
er plebian blossoms, but in most
churches flowers that are really fine
and expensive are used the year round,
and the lower Committee often finds
that altar decoration is the biggest
item on its list of expenditures.
"The selection Of pulpit flowers is
generally left to the discretion of the
florist, who sends the bouquet every
Sunday morning shortly before serv-
ice. Occasionally, however, the
Chairman Of the Flower Committee
gives him q tip as to the favorite
flower of the pastor, and, when max
ing his selection. he tactfully bears
that preference in mind."-New York

A Dental Comedy.

DR.. Rosseau, q dentist, received a
visit from a young man, says Paris
telegram in the London Express. The
dentist glanced at his visitor, gave a
sudden start of recognition, but then
said calmly: "Please sit down." Then.
telling him that it would be necessary
to take an impression of his jaw, DR..
Rosseau filled the young mans mouth
with moist plaster.
When the plaster had hardened, the
dentist said: 'Now, my young thief,
I've got you. On Monday night you
snatched my wife's pocket-book from
her hand in the street. You didn't rec
ognize me, but I know you; SO come
along"
The gagged young man accompanied
his captor to the police station, where
he wrote a confession of the theft, and
said he was ready to restore the
money.
When the dentist received the money
stolen from his wife he called for a
hammer. and, breaking the hardened
plaster, released the imprisoned jaw
of the thief.
"I am going to be married." ex-
planned the young man; $50 1 had to
have my. teeth Strengthened. And
that's why / stole the lady's money"

Mother Love in Bird Life.

"a Tragedy in Bird Life was the
Inscription on a pasteboard box re-
ceived by the Indiana State Geologlst
from a correspondent in the Southern
part of that State. The box contained
an orioles nest, in which were the
skeletons Of three little orioles. and,
clinging to the side, the mother bird,
with her tongue tied with a bit OF
string that helped to hold the nest to-
gether.
The story needed no words. One
could almost see the struggles OF the
mother, maddened by the cries of her
little ones for food, knowing she was
so near and failing to understand why
she did not come to their relief. AS
their cries grew weaker the mother
bird redoubled her efforts to free her
self, but without success. Other birds
hovered' about in a questioning way
twittering to one another as II IN
sympathy, and then hurried to their
own nests and their own little ones.
The mother oriole struggled fierce
ly, but her strength was failing rapid
ly, and as darkness fell she was hang
ing with half closed eyes against the
nest, almost at the opening. All
through the night she struggled con-
vulsively, but each effort was weaker
than the one before. When morning
came a ray of light found its way
through the trees and touched her, as
if in benediction. The struggles ceased
and she was dead. The little ones
slowly starved to death, calling for
the mother with their last breath.

while the design is suited also to the
embroidered waist lengths.
The fitted lining closes at the centre
front and terminates at the waist line.
On it are arranged the portions of the
waist proper. The fronts are laid in
two tucks at each shoulder, that ex'
tend to yoke depth and are then left
free to form soft fulness over the bust
The narrow vest portion is plain and
is caught by the buttons to the right
side and buttoned into place at the
left. The backs are tucked from
shoulders to waist and give the de-

fiared to form cuffs. At the neck is a

May Manton model shown is made OF
pale blue taifeta, with front Of cream
lace over white satin and trimming
of fancy braid in which blue is blended
with threads OF silver, edged with
black; but all waist aad gown mater
ials are appropriate. White and pale
tinted cloths are exquisite for recep-

simple wool fabrics SIS albatross, hen
rietta, cashmere end wool crepe make
charming gowns and waists for lntor-
NAL afternoon wear.
The snugly fitted lining closes at the
centre front and extends to the waist
line only, but the blouse extends be-
low the waist and is, therefore, easily
kept in place. The fronts are laid in
single side pleats, at the shoulder
seams, but are arranged in gathers at
The waist line to produce soft, grace
ful folds. The narrow vest front is
SEPARATE and attached to the lining,
permanently at the right side but
hooked into place under the left front.

Selvedge Strappings.

Shaggy zibelines and camers haif
cloth are made up for day suits" If
you are a trifle weary of stitchings as
q decoration, the alternative is at hand.
The selvedges are torn off carefully to
serve as strappings and are far more
stylish than any other piece of shaggy
material could possibly be. 1t can be
used vertically to emphasize skirt
seams, or as a beading for the fitted
fiounce. The selvedge strips are often
covered with several rows of mater
ial stitching, but they are quite as
handsome when plain, if used FOR
strapping.
