GLOVES AND HOSIERY.

Favor Just Now.

Long lace gloves, long lace mitts
and long silk gloves will be the top
of the mode during the summer and
entirely supersede kid gloves except
for full dress occasions. Some of
these are Of handmade lace and ex-
ceedingly fine and costly, but there
will be variety enough in quality as
we'll as price. Open-work silk gloves
will be equally fashionable and much
less costly than the lace.

they are called, show how the man

between the lace stripes. Hose come
in Isle and cotton, with extracted
designs and in all colors of summer
gowning fabrics, so that it is posi-

PONY IN COURT ROOM.
Creature Loved Its Master, a Learned
Judge, So Much That 1t Followed
Him Inside,

Henry Ward Beecher, often visited
the .courtrooms in and around the city
of New York, where, he said, the wit
and bubbles, quirks and pranks of
the judges and lawyers made better
fun than the circus.
There were two scenes, many years
ago, enacted in the United States court
room at Frankfort, KY, which Mr..
Beecher would have said were equal
to Barnum's best. They were we'll
known to the lawyers of Kentucky of
the olden time. Al present we will
speak of one of these scenes.
Hon. I. B. Monroe, at the time re-
ferred to, was Unitsd States judge for
the district of Kentucky. He was
sometimes extremely absent-minded;
when he became deeply interested in
a great legal subject everything else
vanished; he became totally absorbed
in it, oblivious to the world outside;
he pursued his subject to the profound
est depth. This concentration of the

YOUNG EDWIN GOULD.
Although But Eight Years of Age He
Is Displaying Rare Talent rs
a MOney-Maker.

The Gould family heritage, which
pennies, has developed in a now cen
ter. Edwin Gould, Jr., has set UP
in business for himself. This is sur
prising, for Edwin Jr., is but eight
years old. What is more, he is much
in earnest over his money making
venture, and, like his father and
grandfather, has chosen to begin in
a small way. He is in the retail pin
business and his scale of prices is one
cent for 200 pins.
Young Edwin drifted into the pin
business rather unconsciously, but
his efforts were we'll directed from
the first, nevertheless. He is a
grave child and among his earliest
reflections was one on the waste OF
things in general and pins in partic'
ular. He conceived the idea that the
pins thrown away should be saved.
so he started out simply as a collec-
tor. He gathered hundreds of these
little brass strays and castaways
with no thought of gain.
At this stage of his development
heredity asserted itself and young
Edwin came to the conclusion that a
thing could not be pleasurable unless
profitable. So he put price upon
his labors and in the Gould pin es-
tablishment the motto, 1900 pins for
one cent" was created.
Edwin had the pin collecting fad

Cotton may be increased in value

land cotton in the raw state is worth
20 cents pound. The same cotton
when made into fine French organ
dies or Swiss embroideries is worth
$40 a pound. The difference is al
most all compensation to the persons

how and have the skill to do it. To
do this requires technical education

powers of his mind, no doubt, assisted
him to become the great lawyer that
he was; but it sometimes raised a
good joke upon him.
Judge Monroe lived on that high,
steep hill on the west of Frankfort.
His saddle horse, on which he rode
down to court, was a little pony, raised
on the hill, where he learned, with
the goats, to climb the hill and the
stairsteps of the houses. When
mounted, the judges long legs nearly
reached the ground, and when seen at
little distance it was hard to. tell
which of them was riding; whether the
pony was carrying the judge or the
Judge the pony. He was kind, little
fellow, loved the judge with all his
might. and when at liberty they walked
around Frankfort as boon compan-
ions-wherever the judge went, like
'Mary's little lamb" he was sure to
CO."
One morning, when the judge had a
specially heavy subject on hand, caus-
ing more than usual absent-minded-
ness, on dismounting, totally oblivious
to the pony, he forgot to hitch him,
as he often did, and started off for the
court room, the pony in close pursuit,
and through the capitol square and up
the court steps they went and into the
middle of the court room they walked,
seemingly ready to take seats on the
bench together, neither of them at all
embarrassed. The roaring laugh and
clapping of hands of the lawyers and
the crowd walked the judges from
their reverie, and the old town that
night was jolly as circus.-Cincin-
natl Commercial Tribune
