Gilbert, said that in Kentucky and
in fact in all the South, they looked

He recalled the fact that when color

 five worked around animals more or less all my life, until the trolleys did way with horses" said the motor man, and I've noticed particularly the effect that a drunken man had on them. A horse hates drunken man worse than the devil hates holy water, but dog seems to feel that 8 drunk isn't responsible for himself, and acts accordingly. A dog, no matter how fierce he is, will never bite 2 drunken man. He seems to know by instinct when a man is under the weather, and treats him much as he would treat q child. But with horse it's different A horse treats a drunken man with contempt-doesn't want to have any thing to do with him. There used to be an old bum who loafed around the car stables and who somehow or other always managed to keep loaded up to the nozzle. Some nights he would creep into the stall and go to sleep in the straw. The horses when they finished the last run at night would always be ready to drop in their stalls but never knew a horse that would sleep with the bum.

The fashionable shirt waist is un- questionably the white one, and both thick and thin ones are made in great variety; many different kinds of madras, plain linen, sheer muslin, tucked and trimmed with lace entre deux or with medallions of lace, and the daintiest of linen lawn embroi- dered by hand. dotted Swiss muslin, and so on indefinitely through an al- most incredible list of materials, says Harper's Bazar.
 The plain shirt waist of madras or heavy linen has little fullness in front; some are made with pointed yokes. some Alth plain yokes at the back. but theyyn6ajority have no yoke at all-that is, no visible yoke. One firm of shirt makers turns out waist that has a yoke in front, or, rather, a yoke lining. for it does not show in the shape of an outside yoke The waists are all made to give the long waisted line, pointed in front. The sleeves are of moderate size, in bishop shape, finished with band att the wrist; some arestucked, but the ma jority are plain.
 There is one waist that has a small pocket at the left side that is thought very smart. It is the fad to have shirts made to order. and it is undeniabl that a better fit and smarter effect may be obtained by taking this extra trouble. And yet it would seem as though among the hundreds of ready made waists that are displayed there were enough to choose

 q object to this. I appeal to the protection of the court" cried MT Hall, jumping to his feet.
 MT Webb stopped q moment as if annoyed at the interruption and then resumed, "I repeat, they come here and in bald-headed English make these statements and expect your hon. or to believe them."
 Mir Hall was again on his feet and said. that he had been insulted and that if cases could not be tried among gentlemen he did not care to be con nected with them. MT Webb asked wherein he had insulted him and MT Hall explained that the reference used was personal, that he did not possess heavy head of hair and was Eng fish by birth, and the expression bald headed English was intended as an insult.
