CanYaa Dresses.

Some pretty canvas dresses in navy,
brown and black are effectively bright
ened with a garniture Of Scotch plaid
ribbon. One Of the neatest suits Of
very loosely woven canvas in a shade
of gingerbread brown has a circular
skirt trimmed at each side with green
and blue plaid ribbon applied in the
form of a great inverted V with the
point at the hips reaching almost to the
belt. The ribbon is held in place by
small straps of brown taffeta that
cross it at regular intervals and that
are in turn held down with fiat gilt
buttons. The bolero is am%usingly short
and trimmed in harmony with the
skirt, says the Chicago Record-Herald.
Above and below it may be seen a
blouse of pale tan linen that is made
separately. A cream colored parasol
with plaid ribbon and strappings COM
pletes the outfit.

NEW SHORT STORIES
Cockre11,s Lost Check.

Senator Cockrell is out $24-that is,
he thinks he is, but he is not sure.
The circumstances r peculiar.
The senator was a member in 1888
Of what is known as the "assay COM
mittee" by members Of congress. The
function Of that committee, which is
composed Of members of the house
and senate, is to visit the mint at the
city Of Philadelphia. They go into the
vaults where the coin Is stored after
being manufactured, and after picking
out coins p-romiscuously they weigh,
measure and test them to determine
whether the specifications of the gov
eminent for their casting have all been
complied with. The work has never
been considered onerous, and the as
signment to the committee has been
sought. On the particular occasion re-
ferred to the senator at the close Of b
work in Philadelphia received a check
from Mr.. A. Louden Snowden fol $24
for his expenses and services rendered.
It was the night before the return of
the committee to Washington, and on
his way to his hotel the senator was
jostled n on reaching the hotel
found hat he had lost his p~ocketbook.
The senator has a lingering recollec-
ton of being somewhat backward
about admitting the robbery to his
colleagues and says it is barely posi-
BILE that he swallowed his loss without
disclosing it. In time the matter pass
ed entirely out of his mind.
But a short time ago it was recalled
to him by the receipt of a letter and a
package sent from Philadelphia The
letter stated that in tearing down an
old house in the tenement district of
the city a pocketbook was found under
one of the floors. The pocketbook
contained the check for $24. The SEN
ator tool it to the treasury depart
ment, and the officials looked up the
records to learn If the amount had
been paid. After a search through
many a dusty ledger the officials found
the record Of the check in question,
and an entry showed that it had been
presented and paid. The senator says
it is possible that later he had another
check issued in place Of theione which
had been stolen. In any event the
check itself makes a souvenir which
he will gladly retain.

FARMERS LUCK IN STOCKS.

Two LaSalle street brokerage houses
 took part in an interesting transac ction few days ago, and incidentally assist
 ed one of their customers to reap q
 small and entirely unexpected for tune.
 About six years ago q man living
 in the Minnesota backwoods was in-
 duced to invest q little over S9.OOO in
 1000 shares of the stock of the Lake
 Superior Consolidated Iron company,
 one of the corporations controlled by the Rockefeller interests. The eX- pected rise in the value of the stock was long time in developing, how
 ever. In fact, the speculation prom ised to be q losing one for the Minne- sota man. and, becoming financially
 embarrassed, he wrote to one of the
 Rockefellers. stating the facts in the
 case and asking that he take the stock
 off his hands. In reply to this came letter urging him to hold on to his stock if possible. but stating that if
 he found he could not do so and would
 be compelled to dispose of his hold ings, Mir Rockefeller would take the
 shares off his hands at the price that had been paid for them and would
 give the seller the privilege of redeem ing the block at the same price any time within six years. This option will expire May 1.
 A few days ago the Minnesota man came to Chicago with letter to
 broker doing business not far from the Rookery. He related the story Of the stock transaction of six years ago. and asked the broker to look into the
 matter for him and see if anything
 could be realized on the option With l the assistance of another brokerage
 house, negotiations were begun. with l the result that the option given by Mfr
 Rockefeller was made good and the stock was resold for a. trifle in excess
 of $93,OOO. Had the stock been held | until to-day something more thar S1O1 ,OOO could have been realized on 1 it.
 There really was no obligation on | the part of Mir Rockefeller to give an option on the stock, as the amount he
 loaned on it was equal to the amount
 the holder had invested in che shares, but when called upon to deliver the stock under the terms of the option he
 complied without Chicago Evening Post.

Boy, and that practically was all. His failure to throw Ernest Roeber, all though he had sixty pounds the better of the weight and some ten inches the better of the height, was his greatest disappointment. The greatest fault that Pons has is his slowness. He was powerful enough to maui Roeber all over the mat, but his inability to take advantage of opportunities prevented his winning. Pons always will have difficulty in turning over a man who knows how to double himself up and cling to the mat. He will be back again in New York, his manager says, just as soon as he fills his engage ments on teh other side.
