larity with the ladies. but it did not add
to Jacks happiness. On this particular
evening Jack was late. 1t WAS his
night to dine at Miss Simpkin's table,
and he disliked her above all the frumpS
for which the Tiptop House was IA

Late again." she cooed, tapping
Jacks arm with her ring decked hand.
Jack always did hate to see a woman
wear rings on her middle finger. She
wore hair, too, that proclaimed to the
world the merits of peroxide of hydro

Naughty, naughty man.
"I-I-the fact was my watch had
stopped" muttered Jack, trying to take
his place carelessly, indifferently. Then
he looked up and saw her gazing at
him with open mouth. and that gaze
held wonder, amusement-or was it
contempt? He groaned inwardly and
sent his soup back untasted, though he
had had a hard climb over the cliffs
that very afternoon with Miss Maria
Harris. who was just shade less try
ing than Miss Simpkins.
While Miss Simpkins cooed and
gushed Jack ate his dinner in fash

she must know it. Clearly he was no
longer entitled to the honor of Miss

"Mother, here's a nice quiet spot,
said a sweet voice. and Jack rose from
the deep recesses of a wicker rocker to
face Miss Denton and her mother.
"Oh, Mr.. Jedbury, beg your par

and smiling. MY mother. Mr.. jed

Jack stammered over his greeting
and watched for an early opportunity
of retiring gracefully. Under the CIR
cumstances it was the only decent
thing to do.
"Really, Mr.. Jedbury," went on the
girl, with just a tinge of reproach IN

American Women Particular.

1t must be very hard for a dress
maker to go home without bringing
something entirely new to class of
women who must have something new,
whether or no. The American woman
is far more exacting than the French
woman. Very few of the latter demand
an entirely new style, provided they
are dressed with faultless taste. With
new styles in the often unnoticed de-
tails. they are satisfied.
Not so is the average American wo-
man. She desires to make sensation
with her clothes on the spot; strike the
eye with something pronounced. Now,
the American woman who habitually
gets her gown in Paris soon learns to
abide by the quiet taste of her coutu-
riere. and she then becomes to the eyes
of those who know the most beautiful,
the most graceful, because she is the
handSomest woman in the world and
the most distinguished also Brooklyn

Jack Jedbury did not see her when
she arrived at the Tiptop House AZ,
that particular moment he was per-
spring in his 0 by 8 room on the top
floor in a painful and laborious effort
to supply two missing buttons on his
outing shirt.
As a rule, Jack lounged on the porch
when the bus from the afternoon train
arrived, partly to give the resort a pop
ulous air and partly to impress new
arrivals with the fact that the hotel
boasted of at least one presentao.y

must live. so he hied himself back to
the White mountains.
The proprietor of the Tiptop House
looked over this athletic applicant for
walters duties and said grimly:
you're too decent looking chap
to waste on dining room. We're al
ways short on men up here. Now, I'll
give you not only board and lodging,
but small salary also, if you'll make
yourself agreeable to the ladies, espe-

There can never be too much con-
sciousness Of being well dressed. 1t Is
said to impart happiness which reli-
gion does not give and the value of
clothes was even impressed upon the
heathen, for they declare the art of
weaving to be of divine origin. Clothes
are evidently secrets into ones charac-

What Makes True Hospitality.

A ''born" hostess can set her guests
down to graham crackers jam and a
cup of coffee or even cold water. and
so delightful may be the conversation,
so ready the wit, so kindly and so
warm with genuine friendllnesS and
selfishness the welcome, that each one
might say: with wheaton bread was
my spirit fed. Twas red wine quaffed
with my thirsty soul" 1t is not money
but individuality, that determines the
success or failure of the entertainer
That subtle something which contrib
utes to the making of the truly hospita-
bic hostess rests within herself and
cannot be measured by the wages that
are paid to her cook or by the sum
spent for flowers or professional enter
tainers, writes the Advance. When
Hawthorne and his wife were visiting
in Rome, young girl studying art
there. said to be the original of "Hilda
In the Tower" desiring to honor her
country people, invited them to her
apartment up many flights, during
their call serving them with crackers
and tea. Among the elaborate courte-
sizes offered the famous writer during
his travels only of the hospitality of
this sincere souled American girl did
he make printed mention.

Steamed bacon is considered a far
greater delicacy than boiled bacon and
is a very much less wasteful way of
cooking it. Take piece Of bacon, well
wash and scrape it. Put it on a steam

tender. About forty minutes should be
allowed to each pound. When cooked

Mold In the Cellar.

Mold that settles on wooden furni-
ture or woodwork in the cellar or any
damp place is best met b. kerosene oil.
Sometimes n vigorous rubbing is neces-
sary to destroy the pest. A coat OF
whitewash applied to damp cellar
will completely dry it out. If. in spite
of this precaution. mold appears in

that he had hopes that he could pull off
the Corbett-McGovern contest in Wind

had a talk with some of the Canadian
officials, and when he came back said:
L was well received in Windsor, and
heard much favorable comment on my
proposition to have the boxing contest
take place over there. The building is a
fine one. but 1 could not get a positive
assurance from it's managers that they
would lease it to me for the purpose

track and found that there would be

You see, Windsor is situated to De-
troit exactly the same as Fort Erie is to
Buffalo. Championship contests have
been pulled off down there. and I can
see no reason why objection should be
raised to US doing the same thing here
The only thing is we have received
such hard knock in our own state l
do not feel like promising much until
know for a fact what we can do in
Windsor. The boys are still under con-
tract to US, and I sincerely hope we can

the existence of which has only just been

derman, in 1888, which disposes of all his
large mill properties, yesterday ended
rather abruptly a contest in the Orphans
court over the granting of letters of ad-
ministration in his estate.
Addy left an estate valued at $250,0oa
and after his death no will could be
found. Joseph Addy. the only son of the
deceased. and Mrs. Mary Venable, his
sister, engaged counsel and sought to Sc
cure letters of administration before
Judge Scott.
Their applications were withdrawn yes
terday morning, when it was announced
in court that a will. dated 1883, had been
found by the widow of the dead man
under the band of an old plug hat that
he had discarded some time before his
death.
The will leaves 81 a week to a sister in
England, gives his widow $500 a year and
divides the remainder of his property
equally between his two children.

GooDAANDER ESTATE WINS.
Jury Decides Against Mrs II. T.
Haines at Fort Scott

Fort Scott, Dec. 25.-The jury in the

sumed four days. The jury out Is
hours. The case will be Appealed.
This is one of the most sensational
civil cases ever brought in this county.
c. w Goodlander. who died last July,
was one of the early settlers in this
county, having come to Fort Scott be-
fore the war He was Iamiliarly known
as the father of the town. He was
interested in a number of important fin
ancial matters. was president of the
Citizens National bank and owned the
Goodlander hotel, as fine as any in the
state He was also well known in Kan
sas City, where he did considerable
business. He left an estate valued at
$1C0 coo, his widow being his only heir.
Mrs. Haines. the claimant, was for
number Of years proprietress of the din
ing hall at the Frisco depot in this city.

who conducted a boarding train for the
same company, saved the money from
the business and kept it at their home
in packages of bills of $1,000 in each
package. That she loaned it to Mr.
Goodlander, taking his note for the
amount. That shortly after Mr.. Good
lander's death she left the note on the
table and the servant girl put it in the
stove with some other papers and it
was destroyed.
The defense claimed that it was a put
up job to rob the estate. Evidence was
introduced tending to show that the
Haines could not have made any such
a sum of money from their business
and that Mr.. Goodlander had an abund
ant credit at the banks, both here and
at Kansas City. if he had needed mon
ey. 1t was also shown that Mrs. Haines
borrowed large sums of money during
the time she claimed to be boarding the
amount she claims to have loaned Mr..
GoOdlander.
The case has been on trial for two
weeks and the court room has been
crowded every day. The best legal tai
ent in the state has been employed and
the case has been holly contested.
