FLIRTS WITH WAX WOMEN.
CattIeman from Wyoming Throws
Kisses 40 Figures In store
windows.

A veracious policeman on beat that
takes in the swell department stores OF
State street tells a queer story of q
cattleman from the plains of Wyom-
ing, says the Chicago Chronicle. Ac-
cording to the officers story the ranch
man fairly fell head and ears in love
with one wax figure of beautiful fe-
male in a prominent show window OF
Chicago's great shopping thorough
fare.
when l first saw the cowboy throw
ing kisses at the pretty woman of wax, "
said the policeman, II at first thought
he must be drunk or crazy. But he was
neither. The real truth was that he
had never in his life before seen a
dummy figure of woman of the per-
feet type then standing before him in
the glare of the show lights at night,
and his explanation was that before
he realized theexquisitely attired grand
dame was nothing but cold and life
less figure he found himself throwing
kisses at her in pure gallantry and ex-
uberance of spirit.
81 did not believe him at first, and
started to take him in tow as a possi.
bly, dangerous lunatic. However, be-
fore l reached the patrol box with him
l concluded that although he may
have been imbibing freely while seeing
the town, he was in no way affected in
his upper story. So turned him loose,
with warning that he would frighten
people badly and get locked up should
he renew his ardent and demonstrative
wooing of the wax figures in State
street windows"

Dressy Black Cows.

A very pretty black crepe de chine
gown was made with a founce at
the hem. This hem had scallop OF
glace at the edge, united by black silk
herringbone, new and fashionable
arrangement. The scallop was intro
duced also on to the bodice of the
dress, being carried down the front,
which opened over some pretty tuck
ings edged with gold lace, revealing
a soft vest in the immediate front.
The sleeves were of the new form and
the rufile above the puff was edged
with the glace and the silk herring

A TELEGRAPH LINE.
In Chill That Was Preserved from
MOIestation OF Indians by n
Clever Trick.

When the electric telegraph wa,
first introduced into Chill a stratagem
was resorted to in order to guard the
posts and wires against damage on
the part of the natives and to main.
tain the connection between the
strongholds on the frontier. There
were at the time between 40 and SO
captive Indians in the CHILEAN camp
Gen. Pinto-in command of the opera
tions-called them together, and,
pointing to the telegraph wires, said:
''Do you see those wires?"
Eyes, general"
II want you 10 remember not to 90
near or touch them, for il you do
your hands will be held, and you will
be unable TO get away"
The Indians smiled incredulously
Then the general made them each in
succession take hold OF the wire at
both ends of an electric battery in
full operation. after which he ex-
claimed:
Il command you to let go the wirel"
II can't; my hands are benumbedl"
cried each Indian.
The battery was then stopped. Not
long after the general restored them
to liberty, giving them strict instruc-
tions TO keep the secret. This had
the desired effect, for, as might be ex-
pected, the experience was related in
the strictest confidence to every man
in the tribe. and the telegraph has
ever since remained unmolested.

Cloth street gowns are at present

dressmakers, not to mention the peo-
pie who are to wear the costumes.
1t will not be many weeks now be-
fore it win be time to wear them.
The first gowns that are turned out
are quite simple in design, made with
the plain skirt and smart coat, but
the cloth gowns for winter wear are
exceedingly elaborate, and grow more
so every day, for the latest designs
call for so much heavy trimming. The
skirts slashed at the sides to show
panels Of contrasting color show also
a mass of embroidery and braiding

that Is brocaded or has a pattern EN-
broidered on it. The fronts OF the

designs of handwork, embroidery in

KITCHEN HELPS.
Items of Information That May BE
Useful TO the busy House
wife.

A small, strong table, covered with
zinc or tin. on castors. so that it can
be run back and forth between the
kitchen and pantry or dining-room,
saves innumerable steps and any
amount of time and patience, says the
Home Magazine.
Keep a high stool in the kitchen to
sit on when ironing small articles.
Wear gloves when ironing and you
will save many burn.
In washing greasy skillets the adj
dition of a little soda to the water
will neutralize the grease and make it
much easier to clean. These are best
cleansed when hot.
To clean the range after frying
crumple newspaper between the
hands and rub the range with it.
This will absorb the grease and leave
the range bright as before.
The small paper bags that groceries
come in are better protection to the
hands than the gloves made purpose
ly for backing stoves.
II there is a holder or two hung
near the oven door there is not the
temptation to use the apron and per-
haps soil or burn 1t.
Make a muslin cover to draw on
your thumb when pairing apples and
potatoes to avoid cutting the skin.
A soft mat is restful to stand upon
when at work.
Half the battle in washing dishes is
keeping the dish cloths and towels
clean. Wash out once week in am
monia water.
Use soapy water for making starch.
The linen will have glossier appear
ance and the iron will not be so apt to
stick.
Next winter try wearing shoes OF
old jeans in the kitchen. Use an old
oyershoe for a pattern.
A sponge large enough to expand
and fill the chimney after having been
squeezed in, tied to slender stick, is
the best thing with which to clean a
lamp chimney.

The New York preacher who hkened
Prof. Heron to tramp was not wide
Of the mark. Tramps repudiate author
ity and responsibility, as Heron does.
They live without regard to obligation.
If they have families somebody else
supports them. If they have food and
drink and raiment it is because other
men work for them. They criticise
freely q social and industrial system to
which they contribute nothing. With
out thought Of the morrow, they never
theless turn up at feasts prepared by
other mems labor and readily accept
as their due the things which the fore
handed enjoy only as result OF toll
and sacrifice. In the moral and intel
lectual world, as well as in the physi-
cal, they contribute nothing and are
merely drones, helping themselves to
what they can and particularly repudi-
ating any desire to improve their con-
dition by honest labor. Mr.. Herron's
socialism is Of this order. He wishes
to participate In all that is good in the
world, but he expressly declines to be
bound by any Of the rules and regula'
lions under which these good things
have been made possible. HIS Is an In

English Royal Customs.

Everybody may not know that in
royal households it is not the custom
to relight candle. For however short
a time it has been burning. if once ex-
tinguished, it is never used again--at
least not in the precincts of the palace.
Another quaint monarehical custom is
that there are always two sets of SER
wants, to insure better service. The one
set goes on duty for three weeks, and
when the time has expired another set
will take their place, so that in the
sovereign's palace there is always one
complete retinue at work, while their
duplicates are resting until their three
weeks of service comes round again

James A. Herne, who died recently,

James A. Herne, who died recently,
held unique position as an actor. He
was more than 60 years old at the time
of his death, and had been on the
stage for two generations. He was
playwright as well as actor, and the
last half of his career was rpent in
the production Of his own dramas. He
was more of a student than are most
successful actors, and his reading took
q wide range. He was interested espe-
cially in natural science and in sociol-
ogy, and was one Of the few members
of his profession who have often been
asked to occupy the pulpit Of a church.
He made at least two considerable for
tunes from his plays, and, it is under
stood, has left his family in comforta-
BILE circumstances. 1t is especially
worthy of note that in no one of his
plays is there the slightest trace Of i'm
modesty or any of that style of humor
which calls for smile and blush at
the same time. Herne laid the scene Of
all his plays amidst the homely sur
roundlngs Of rural America, and each of
them is full Of a healthy optimism and
q hearty good win which is clean, and
fine, and wholesome. 1t is sufficient

II John Alexander Dowie be Elijah
the Tishbite come again, as he says he
Is, then, the Chicago Tribune thinks, he
must be the master Of the situation. 1t
would be madness, says the Tribune,
for the State Board Of Health, the Chi
cago Health Commissioner, or any of
the local city or county officials to at
tempt to NEEDLE with him. A certain
King Of Israel wished to have talk
with the original Elijah, and sent a
captain with fifty men to fetch him.
When the captain asked the prophet to
come along the latter said: IF l be a
man of God, then let fire come down
from heaven and consume thee and thy
fifty. And there came down fire from
heaven and consumed him and his
fifty" If this reincarnated Elijah We're
to be indicted his arrest would be i'm
possible without his consent 1t would
be useless to send a squad Of police
after him, for he could call down fire
from heaven to consume them. It Is
not safe to take liberties with one who
can hurl thunderbolts. The ministers
of Chicago of all creeds have reason to
tremble If Dowie be another Elijah.
Dowie has often called them prophets
of Baal." If they do not treat him with
great civility, refraining from all harsh
comments on his methods, he may or
der them to be slain. Thus did Elijah
get rid of certain obstreperous prophets
Of Baal in his day. Until this latter
day Elijah shows his ability to do some
of the wonderful things done by the
prophet Of Israel, the Tribune Is Of the
opinion that neither ministers nor po
ucemen will be afraid Of him.
