SECRET EXPLAINED. Why Your Trousers Bag at the
 Knees.

To the man who would be well dressed there Is no greater annoyance with which he has to contend than that of the trous- ers hagging at the knees It is especially trying to clerks, and all who have in- door occupations which compel them to sit at a desk for the most part of tho: time.
 It is 5l his class, too, who have to maintain d well-dressed appearance, and there is nothing surely that destroys that dressy get-up so much as bagging trous- CTS, unless it be dirty shoes.
 Try as you may to preserve the "hang" by creasing, or pulling them up over the kneecap when sitting, or putting in a stretcher, or beneath the mattress of your bed, over night. all these are only aids and they cannot maintain that per- feet form during the whole liftime of the garment.
 It is more than possible that you have never given. a thought as to whether there might be any fundamental cause fo there might be any fundamental cause for this evil: You. will be surprised to learn that it is due to disease.
 Now, : it is. not meant, of course, that the trousers contract this ailment during the time they are worn. The trouble goes back further than that. It begins on the sheeps back-that is, if they are wool
 These and other interesting facts were learned from an expert who has made wool a life study and who buys and sells more of it than any other half dozen men in the business, since he is the chief buyer for one of the biggest wool syndi- cates in the world.
 This gentleman knows by the feel and appearance of wool just how and vhsre 1t was grown, and by examining a fleece he will tell in what country it was grown, what. the condition of the animal was, in health or sickness, during the. growth Of that fleece, and during which month of. the year the animal suffered from illness.

New York Special Chicago Chronicle.
 Lillian Russell said today that she be- came a Christian Scientist when it ena- bled her to sing, all other remedies hay ing failed Tt was this way she said. q had tsen ont of the bill for four per formanc, l couldn't sing a note. had consulted an eminent throat specialist as well as our family physician, and been told by both gentlemen that my vocal chords were in very bad shape; that must not attempt to sing for weeks-in fact, that the chords were paralyzed.
 T thought this was a very strange thing. l was perfectly well every other way. And I said to myself, If ] can speak, why can't I sing? I realized in q flash that voice is mental. You can't see it; you can't touch it. It is, therefore spiritual, and not material I ran to my piano, saying, I will sing and I did ; sang well, and without an effort. That night I went to the theater. Every mo- ment I kept saying to myself: Your vo- cal chords may be anything they like, they can't keep you from singing. Voice is mental. and mind is all.

In reading the announcement that 4. w. Bromberg has secured an opti- cal expert to open an optical depart ment in his store and give a course of instructions in optics, one would nat urally ask who MT. Mertz is and what experience he has had. Here is what you want to know all in a nutshell: His references are first-class as a gen. tleman, optician and instructor. (This was very important feature with MT. Bromberg). He has had ten years of experience in jewelry stores, opti- cal colleges, optical stores, optical offices, optical factories and optical in structing This wide experience has cost many dollar, many years of hard work and lots of patience. But he enjoys the distinction of being one of the best posted and most experi- enced optical men in the business. He will fit glasses in Bromberg's jewelry store for the next two months.

He wears loud clothes, big watch chain, and looks more like spor- ty man than a financier. He Is fond of a good dinner, a good cigar and glass of wine. His favorite flower is the rose, and his favorite sport yachting. He is J. Pierpont Morgan, and there is not one like him.

Why They are Beautiful. ..-ss r. '.s;'

The Irish peasant girls have long
been famous for their beautiful clear
skins and healthy compilations, says Il
writer in Pearson's Weekly. They
owe much of their loneliness to the
moisture Of the climate and the sim
plicity of their lives. Plain wholesome
fare and rain water for the wash
basin tell their own tale. No matter
how homely are the features of the
genuine peasant girl, her skin is almost

nicely rounded, the eyes brilliant and

than those of the healthy daughter of
Erin's Isle. Soft and tender one mo-

is peculiarly lovely and possesses n

"He ordered me after awhile to go to
the hotel of Vice President johnson
and bring him to the room, us he re-
marked to others of the cabinet that
it might be necessary to swear Mr.
johnson in as president at once if Mr..
Lincoln died during the night"
General O'Beirne escorted the vice
president to the room, the latter de-
clining an armed guard. On the way
the two men had to force their way
/ through the excited crowd around the
house where Lincoln lay.
Owing to his great height Lincoln
was laid diagonally across the bed.
Mrs. Lincoln was escorted to the
house from the theater by james N.
Mills, young soldier, who had been
watching the play from the gallery
when the shooting occurred. Mr.. Mills
is now resident Of Brooklyn. The
account given above Of the scene in
the theater is largely from new details
furnished by Mr.. Mills.
"Mrs. Lincoln was terribly agitated,"
said Mr.. Mills to a Sunday World re-
porter in describing the scene," and

her through the crowd across the street
behind the men who were carrying

her dying husband, tearing her hair
as she spoke to him, lying there un-
conscious. She appealed tragically to
him to answer her until, worn out with
grief, she swooncd and was carried
tenderly from the room more dead than
alive. This heartrending scene took
place number of times. At last Mrs.
Lincoln was taken, frantic with grief
and despair, to the White House."
At 1922 o'clock that morning the
president died. The silence which fol.
lowed the announcement that the end
had come was broken by Mr.. Stanton,

The first man to realize what had
happened was Major Rathbone. He
sprang to his feet and grappled with
the assassin, but Booth held long,
keen -bladed, sharp-pointed dagger then
and struck a vicious blow at the Off
Ger. The blade smashed into Major
Rathbone's arm and he relaxed his
hold.
Booth sprang to the balustrade of
the box and poised himself for a leap
to the stage. Before he could jump
Major Rathbone caught ut his gar
ments. They were torn from his
grasp and the assailant leaped. One
of his spurs caught in the silken flag
and he plunged forward. AS he struck
the stage his left leg doubled under
him and the bone snapped. He was
instantly on his feet again brandishing
his dagger and shouting:
"Sic semper tyrannis!'
Even then not half dozen persons
in the house realized what had hap
pened. Most of the audience thought
the pistol shot was q part of the play
and had come from behind the scenes.
1t was not Until Booth turned to fly
and the agonized cry of Mrs. Lincoln
came from the box that few persons
understood what it meant.
"Stop him! Hang him! Kill him!'
they shouted. At once the house was
in turmoil.
But they were too late Booth, his
dagger in his hand, had dashed back
toward the stage door. On his way
he encountered William Withers, Jr.,
the leader Of the orchestra.
"Let me pass! Let ME pass!" cried
Booth, and struck Withers with the
knife two rapid blows, wounding him
severely.
Withers fell and Booth sprang Out
of the stage door, where horse was
being held for him by "Peanut John, y
