AN INsIDIOUs CIRCULAR.
Humorist Episrges Upon Idea Recently
Put Forth In New York.

A place to don evening dress with
out going home is one Of the latest
convenience offered to New York
bachelors. In the Century Eliot
Gregory has this TO say Of IL:
An insidious little circular has Of
late been calling the attention Of New
Workers to certain downtown parlors
where a man may keep evening
clothes, extra top coats, and other
changes Of apparel, avoiding in this
way the appoyance Of going home to
dress. As the %colliers Of Killings
worth, who witnessed the first jour
ncys of Stephenson's "traveling en-
gine," did not, in all probability, APP
preeiato the Importance ofthe expert
mcnt going on under their eyes, nor
foresce the revolution the little ma
chine was destined to work in tho hab-
Its of mankind. so the recipient Of this
circular doubtless fail. TO grasp its
real purport or the possibilities that
lie dormant in that innovation. The
plan is only a germ rs yet, but what
changes will ensue when our women
have seized upon and elaborated the
scheme?

nerves and cab fare will result! Two
Of New York's largest department
stores already provide bathrooms
where customers can take dips be-
tween a tussle at the bargain counter
and a quick lunch. The phrase, "All
the comforts Of home" will soon be as
obsolete as the place itself, and re-

One Of the most pathetic sights is

or course, many people are side
tracked or hindered in the race
through no fault Of their own, but the
vast majority of those who cease to
climb and give up, do so from some
weakness or defect. Many Of them
lack continuity Of purpose or per-
sistency; Others lack courage or deter
mination. writes o. 5. Marden, in Sue.
CO.'S.
II is really pitiable TO see young
men and women in the prime Of life
becoming discouraged and ceasing to
advance. Many of these unforiun-
stes would attain at least something
Of real success by merely sticking to
their tasks. but there is no hope what
ever for the mar who gives up-the
one who loses heart.

patented would not only give those
who originated them a competence
for life, but would also enrich the civ
ilization Of the world. But the
thinkers get discouraged or tired, or

embryo invention, has never come to

THE HOLD-UP.
Foolish Man Took Wrong Way Of Get.
ting Out Of Trouble.

A gentleman was driving along n
lonely country road near Northamp-
ton, when he heard loud cries for help
proceeding from a neighboring wood.
Upon entering the wood he was ur-
priscd and shocked TO find a man Sc.
curely tied toa tree.
"What is the matter here?"h said,
in establishment.
"Oh, sir" replied the poor fellow,
"Pm SO glad you have come! A few
hours ago | was knocked down by
some tramps, who rined my pockets
and, after stealing everything ] had,
except a pocketbook in my inside vest
pocket, which they fortunately over
looked, bound me to this tree and de.
camped."
"The %scoundrels" calculated the
newcomer. "And so the wretches
robbed you, eh?"

BEYOND CONTROL.

-
You can sometimes dodge the lion who Sc
iects you as his prey;
You can even catch and cage him and OBJ
serve him at his play;
The wolf and the hyena are uncanny TO
the view,
But they leave you unmolested II you
know a thing OF two.
But there's one terrific creature we en-
counter now and then.
Who defes all calculations 10 protect his
fellow men.
He baiks our fondest purpose and he plays
the very deuce,
There is nothing that can stop him, when
the fool
breaks
loose.
To reason he will turn a dull aud unre-
sponsive ear,
He hasn't wilt enough to entertain a sense
OF fear,
He plunges to destruction; never stops for
looking back.
And laughs when wiser people are obliged
to clear the track.
For years he may be dormant. then he
wakes to sudden Joy.
And thinks earth was created for his own
especial toy.
You may sometimes try TO save him. but It
Isn't any use,
You must simply walt and tremble. when
the fool
breaks
loose.

WOMEN INVENTORS.
New Games and Forms Of Entsrtainmsnt
q Appropriate Field.

One Of the most fruitful sources OF
securing a good income il in invent
ing games and forms Of entertain
ment for private parties, sociables.
and receptions. The extraordinary
demand for something new in the line
Of entertaining is evidenced b, the
number Of new games and tricks put
on the market every year. These null
tiply rapidly, but most Of them, being
merely variations Of old games, at
tract little more than passing notice.
But when u really new and original
game, trick. or form Of entertainment
is invented, the public shows its ap.
probation by adopting it immediate
ly as the prevailing fad. There are
sc very few original inventions Of this
nature that il is safe to say that any
one who has the genius to discover
n will reap financial reward sufi-
Gent to support her for the rest Of her
life.
These new forms Of amusement
need not necessarily be elaborate and
expensive in character. Sometimes
the very simple onos attract the most
attention and actually earn more
money for their owners Women in
particular are finding this field an at
tractivc one for testing their inven-
tive abilities. Many who 90 into it
find in a little while that they are I'M
fitted FORT. They have great adaptive
powers, but not inventive faculties.
The former will hardly win renown
and financial returns in proportion to
the amount Of work put in thcoirorts.
The patent Office at Washington is
besiegcd by applicants for inventions
that are made for the purpose Of anus.
ing and entertaining. and the list that
is annually rejected because they in-
fringe upon the rights OF Others is very
great. Nevertheless, women have
been very successful in the last two
years in this direction, and according
TO statistics given they have equalcd
the men both in the number and pop
ularity Of their inventions 10 amuse.
Last year fully a score of such patents
were taken out by women who must
have made comfortable incomes from
the sales Of the articles. One success
ful trick, game, or puzzle should in
the ordinary ourse Of event. make a
tidy income for a woman for several
ycars.-Scientifc American.

Inc cards and spades and beat me At
this game" Diana's fifteenth shot
was at a cock bird which flushed wild
and behind her. She whirled and
caught him at good go yards and he
came down with a broken wing. A
short chase by Wilson and the bird
was captured, making IA quail in 10
shots. AS Diana's experience in the
field covered eight years Of steady
practice. and the shooting vas com
paratively open 1t didn't seem marvel
u to her; but TO Wilson it verged on
the miraculous for a woman. They
hunted the Hodge farm together and
Wilson called TO pay his respects to
the judge and Mrs. Clark. Particu-
larly to Mrs. Clark.
Afterwards the judge said II was
the biggest bag Diana ever made or
ever would make--30 quail. seven
rabbits and a hundred and sixty-eight
pound man. For Wilson married her
in the spring. The groom's present
TO the bride was a figure of Diana with
the regulation NEUROLOGICAL pose and
figure, but with a shotgun in her
hand instead of a bow. On the base
Of the statuettc was the inscription:
"The times change. and We have
CHANGED with ihem."

HIS CRIME.


A little coterie Of friends were
standing in a downtown cafe a few
evenings ago, when a seedy individual
sauntered in and took a seat near by,
says the Washington Post. He list
ened attentively TO the conversation
and occasionally cast a wishful eye
towards the strangers as they quaffed
their potions. One Of the men finally
spoke to the newcomer and asked him
what he wanted.
81 merely came in here out Of force
Of habit" the latter replied. 81 am

The apparent ease with which the
newcomer expressed himself attract.
edthe attention of the group Of round
ers and they began pressing him with
questions.
"You nre a man Of more than or.
binary intelligence and | am at a loss
to understand why YOU should be in
your present plight" said one.
81 wish you would not talk to me in

The way he made this confession
attracted to him the sympathy Of hi,
listeners. Another round was or.
derod and still another. An hour later
the newcomer shunlod down III,
street muttering to himself that Il
was better to be born lucky or q hui
