The Racine police arrested Henry j.
Bfuen, young man who has resided
there for the past four months, on
charge of passing fraudulent checks.
Bruen came from Milwaukee and secured
a position in local dry goods store. Dur
ing the past few days, it is alleged, Bruen
made the rounds of a number of local
stores and made small purchases, tender
ing checks in payment. These checks
were drawn on the First National Bank
of Kalamazoo, Mich. and some of them
have come back with the cashiers nota-
ton that there are no funds to the credit
of the person who drew the checks. Bru-
en- was visited By several local merchants
and he promised TO make good the
amount of the checks. but the police took
a hand and arrested Bruen. The prison
err claims that his father is Il wealthy
business man of Kalamazoo and has con-
fidence that he will be helped out of his
scrape. He says that he was married
about a year ago and that his salary
was so small that he felt forced to resort
to other than honest methods to make
both ends meet.

their long ''stogie" topped boots to pre-
vent breaking them, thus giving them
the name of stogies.
When Miffiin Marsh entered the stogie
business, he was able to supply the
trade by his own work. At the time of
his death his factories, employing sew
eral hundred expert rollers, and a
dozen other plants just as well supplied,
were catering to the demand for
Wheeling stogies. Marsh assisted ma
terially in the recent litigation in the
United States Court in Boston, which
resulted in the handing down of a de-

means of increasing the local trade, in
which he amassed a fortune.

cries for mercy, they are about to
throw her into the river.
1t is now Rob's turn; he steps fer
ward and demands why they are
treating the helpless woman so bar
barously. The officer replies in an
arrogant fashion: BE off, you young
rascal, or we will serve you the same
for your insolence in interfering with
his majesty's commands"
This infuriates Rob; he springs upon
the soldiers, who are by this time
close to the edge, and hurls eight Of
them into the stream, where they are
carried away and drowned in the rap
id current; he next whips out his
skene dhu and cuts the cords by which
the girl is bound. The officer and the
rest Of the men are for the moment
paralyzed with astonishment, when
Rob draws his claymore, attacks him,
and promptly stretches him dead on
the ground. =

round Rob and avenge their COM
mander; but the herculean Highlander
lays about him so vigorously that he
soon dispatches three more of them

An Emergency Case.

The doctor in charge Of the school
had always laughed at the idea Of our
ever making practical use Of our
First Aid to the Injured lessons. He
had muttered something about "shoe-
makers sticking to their lasts" and
then had said: You teach the children
that's your line, and wait for me to
come if anything happens"
Therefore when our delicate little
Mamie fell down stairs we had not
merely the desire to give her imme-
diate relief, but also deep-seated but
unspoken wish to show that man that
we could do something. Mamie had
murumred, MY ankle-I twisted my
ankle" before she tainted. TO bind
it then might help. and certainly could
not harm her. The emergency band
ages were produced, and, delighted to
see that there was as yet no apprecia-
ble swelling, we bound the leg in most
approved style from toes to knee. We
had just finished when the doctor
came in. He snorted at sight of the
materials around; then, after an e1-
animation Of few minutes he said:

Dress For O Girl.

Dainty frocks with many tucks are
as much in style for little girls as for
their elders. The charming little May
Manton model illustrated in the large
drawing is suited to many materials,
and has the merit Of being childish
and simple at the same time that 1t is
effective in the extreme. The original
is Of fine, sheer null with Valencien-
mes lace threaded with narrow black
velvet ribbon; but lawn, batiste and
all the long list of white and colored
washable fabrics might be substituted
or any one Of the simple silks and
woods.
The waist is tucked to yoke depth
and falls in soft folds below, and the
novel sleeves show tucked caps that
harmonize to a nicely. The skirt is
simply straight gathered at the waist,
and can be made with the flounce or
plain as preferred. The trimming Of
lace insertion is applied to form Van
Dyke points and to cross the yoke
in becoming fashion.

years of age, eight and quarter yards
of material twenty-one inches wide,
five and a quarter yards twenty-seVen
inches wide, four and half yards
thirty-two inches wide, or three and
three-quarter yards forty-four inches
wide, will be required, with seventeen
yards of insertion and two pieces Of

the originals are dotted silk, louisine

almost anything and everything is

offered for individuality in the choice
both of materials and color.
The foundation for all the stocks Is

IN THE CLOAMlNc.

When the dusk is slowly creeping, shut
ting out the glare of day;
When the evening star in beauty trem-
bles with refulgent ray;
When the violets' dewy fragrance subtly
soothes the sting of pain
Then the mind turns inward. backward,
to the joys of youth again.
In that hour of dear communion with
the voices of the past
Haunting memories throng upon US, bring
ing joys too sweet to last; w
All the anguish of the present for little
space is flown.
And the soul goes forth unfettered to
kingdom of its own.
There is pain in the awaking when the
hush of night is past,
And the morning brings its sorrows, and
our dreams are overpast;
But the dear God sends His children, lest
in trouble they forget,
Glimpses of foretasted heaven nightly
when the sun has set.

kept wardrobe. This charming and
stylish May Manton model has the
merit of suiting both the entire cos
tune and the odd bodice. AS shown,
it is of white batiste with cream
Cluny lace and black velvet ribbon
held by small jeweled buttons, but
the design lends itself to silk and sort
wool fabrics as well as to all the
dainty cottons and linens with equal
success.
The foundation is a fitted lining that
closes at the centre front. On 1t are
arranged the round yoke, the full un-
der proportion and the graceful ber-
tha. The yoke closing at the LETT
shoulder extends to form a narrow
vest that closes under the left front.
The sleeves are in elbow length, ter
minating with faring cuffs, but can
be extended to the hands, as shown in
the small sketch.

st. Joseph, Mo-, is the seat of as IA
dustry quite sui generis. 1t is the
teaching of canary birds to sing some
particular song instead Of running
scales from daylight until dark, as
has been their wont. This genius in
ornithological voice culture taught
one of his pupils to sing Yankee Doo-
de-" and has recently sold the bird
in Chicago for $4,000. Chicago is
doing all sorts of things like this late
ly, and doesn't seem to be ashamed Of
taking up anything, from Dowie to
birds that have mastered patriotic
airs. We are informed with that air
of veracity that we always expect
from st. Joseph, Mo-, that the bird
teacher is now training another can
ary to sing !"Suwanee River" using
as a means to that end a modern
phonograph." 1t seems the phono-
graphs of antiquity have all gone out
of date in St. Joseph, Mo-, and none
later than 60 B. C. will be tolerated.
This is why our informant is explicit
in stating that the instrument used is
a modern phonograph." The $1,000
bird was taught Yankee Doodle" on
an old hand organ, and as it was a
case of death by insanity or Yankee
Doodle" the bird finally yielded. 1t
used to be said that the sweetest
voices, either of birds or Of the hu-
man songsters Of the stage, attained
their mellowness only through the
suffering of their owners, and that
mocking birds in captivity, deprived
of their mates and made to sorrow
their lives away in lonely grief, sang
with fuller note and more exquisite
melody than their free companions in
the woods. One can easily see how
two years Of hand organ could drive
q canary bird into Yankee Doodle"
Pain brings out what is best in man,
and pain to the point Of torture has
produced a miraculous canary bird.
We haven't the slightest doubt Of the
phonograph and the "Suwanee River"
Two long years of a phonograph
ought to convert a Shanghai rooster
into a professional feathered baritone.

In the smoking-room, adjoining the

protruding on which the slips of news
