Woman's Yoke Shirt Waist.

Yoke shirt waists have taken a firm
hold on the popular taste and, by
many wearers are preferred to every
other sort. The smart May Manton
model shown in the large drawing is
one Of the latest and has many admir-
able characteristics. The deep point
of the front portion Of the yoke is
becoming, and the groups of tucks be-
low provide graceful fulness at the
lower portion of the waist. The back
is smooth, with a desirable taperinS
effect produced by the line of the
tucks. AS shown the material is doe
skin flannel in submarine green, with
gold buttons; but all fannels and
waists cloths, plain, striped and figured,
taffeta and other simple silks. vel
yeteen and corduroy are appropriate.
The fitted lining is smooth and ex-
tends to the waist line only. The fronts
of the waist are tucked in groups, of
three each; they are stitched q short
distance below the yoke. and include
the full length centre box pleats. The
back is tucked in groups to the waist
line, that give graceful taperlng ef-
feet which is universally becoming.
The sleeves are in bishop style, with
narrow pointed cuffs; and at the neck
is a collar with turnover portions, un-
der which q ribbon stock is worn.

A winter fashion of some import

The Mode of Red,

So many shades Of red are to be
worn this season that many women
seem to be laboring under the impress
sion that plum shades are back again,
too. But that is hardly the case, as
the new reds range from the bright
red wine shades to the tints of crimson
purple, the red with plenty of yellow
in it being the prevailing tint.

WHIP BEHIND.
Bryan's COfIlmoner.

Bryan's Conimoncr.
The meanest man on life's highway
II not the one who's bent
On making loans for thirty days
At ten or twenty per cent.
He's not the man who wore his brain
Into frazzled wreck
TO make button of wart
That grew upon his neck.
The meanest man is not the one
Whose greed instiate
Caused him to climb the fence to save
The hinges on his gate.
He's not the one who saved his heels
BY walking on his toes;
He's no. the one who saved his teeth
BY talking through his nose.
The meanest man on earth today
Is not the man who totes
A quart of shoepegs to his horse
And palms them of for oats.
Nay, all these men are gentlemen
OF wondrous hearts and kind
Compared to him who is so mean
He always whips behind.
God bless the man who's kind enough
To smile and look ahead;
Who never growls because a boy
Hooks on little sled.
May health be his, and length of year
And may he fortune find;
For nothing is too good for him
Who never whips behind.

CANCER CURE.

Cancerous q lases, which are on
the increase tfbushout skhe world,
and whicpFit is prS bicted will pro.
duce more deaths than consumption,
smallpox and typhoid CUnbined, have
been considered incgKb!e. Attention
has been directed to- 8dsimple and re.
markable cure discovered in London.
The following sent by cable to New
Yerk papers, describes the treatment:
Bady Margaret Marsham, who is 81
years old, was for four months III
from an affection OF the throat. Doc
tors pronounced it cancer, and their
diagnosis was supported after an.
nalysis by a London throat specialist.
Lady Margaret's condition became SO
bad that her throat was nearly closed
up, and nourishment had to be artia.
cially administered Her death was
expected within a week. At this
point neighbor, who is an old friend,
daughter OF Lady Mary Ross, recall.
ed story she had heard when child
that cancer could be relieved by an
infusion made from violet leaves. 1t
was not expected that this would
cure, but only relieve pain. Lady
Anna Marsllam, sister of the pa.
tient, obtained the recipe as for
lorn hope, but determined to try it.
The recipe was simple and ran as
follows:
Take handful Of fresh green violet
leaves, pour pint Of boiling water
upon them. Cover and let stand for
twelve hours Until the water is dis.
colored green. Then stir off the
liquid; dip piece OF lint into the in.
fusion OF which sufficient quantity
must be warmed. Put on the wet
lint hot wherever malady is, cover
lint with oil skin or a thin mackin.
tosh, and change it whenever dry.
The cold iofusion should be fresh
every alternate day.
Effect was, in Lady Anne's words,
''alnost like miracle" Relief was
almost Immediately obtained. The
large, hard, external hum0r disappear.
ed 10 week, and all pain ceased.
The cancerous growth in the tonsils
disappeared In a fortnight. And the
woman, who was apparently dying, is
now in good health and is able to
travel and visit friends.

THE MAN WITH BLACK WHIS.

Georgia has a stringent law forbid.
ding Its citizens to carry pistols on
pain OF forfiteing the weapons and
paying tine Of $50 or being imprison.
ed for thirty days, says the New
England Magazine. Shortly after the
passage Of this enactment Judge Les.
ter was holding court In a little town,
when suddenly lie suspended the trial
OF a case by ordering the sheriff To
lock the doors Of the courthouse.
"Gentlemen,n said the Judge, when
the doors were closed, II have just
seen pistol on man In this room
and cannot reconcile it to my sense
Of duty to let such violation Of the
law pass unnoticed. I ought to go
before the grand jury and indict him,
but II that man will walk up to this
stand and lay bis pistol and o fne Of
81 down here l will let him of this
time"
The Judge paused and lawyer sit
ting just behind him got up, slipped
his hand into his hip pocket, drew
out neat ivory.handled six.shooter
and laid with 81 upon the stand.
"This is all right" said the Judge,
"but YOU are not the man I saw with
the pistol"
Upon this another lawyer arose and
laid down a Colts revolver and a dol
lar bill before the judge, who repeat
ed his former observation. The pro.
cess went on until nineteen pistols o
all kinds and sizes and shapes lay up
on the stand, together with $l9. Thu
judge laughed as be complimentet
the nineteen dclnquents upon beinI
men Of business, but added that th'
man he had seen with the pistol hat
not yet come up, and glancing at th'
far side OF the court, he continued:
"Ill give him one minute to accept
my proposition and II he fails l will
hand him over to the sheriff "
Immediately two men from the
back OF the room arose aud began to
move toward the judges stand. Once
they stopped and looked at each
other and then coming slowly forward
laid down their pistols and their dol.
lars. AS they turned their backs the
judge said:
This man with the black whiskers
ia the one that 1 originally saw"
