William ]. Sewell's public career has
not been rightly understood said an
officer of the New Jersey national
guard at the Union League club the
other evening.
Although some unpleasant COM
ments were made because he sought,
obtained and then declined an appoint
ment as brigadier-general,S Senator Sc
well would never permit his intimates
to give the public the explanation of
his action
1.-THE senator was really eager to
round out his life by active military
service, such as he rendered during the
civil war. and it was understood that
he would be sent to the front But
after his appointment as a brigadier
had been announced the president sent
for him.
You will have to decline the com
mission said President Mckinley, ex-
planning that the exigencies of the sit
uation in the senate made his vote and
influence in that body necessary to
the administration.

BLACK suits the fair Ovid tells us.
1t became Brisels; she was dressed in
black when she was carried OFF. 1t is
the thinnest color stout woman can
wear; indeed, the woman who wears
black to best advantage is she who is
stout and has black eyes and hair. 1t
is an echo from Paris that in gowns
of certain co1ors flesh seems to shrink,
in others to expand. A subdued shade
of blue, heliotrope, and olive green.
with black, of course, are the colors
under which flesh seems least osten-
tatious, while wedgewood blue, pale
gray, and almost any shade of red are
to be avoided. Mauve and the higher
shades of green are the two colors that
in decoration about the throat and
shoulders are especially helpful in di-
minishing the effect of the flesh.

Old Railroad Manager Who Wanted the

finally one of them remarked: Il

to call him the old man. He never
said much, but he always meant what
he said, and he wanted the straight
truth. 1 remember one time a conduc-
tor on through freight wished to go
to party that night, so he kept his
train going at about thirty miles an
hour, which was way ahead of the
schedule. The old man called him up
in the morning.
What was your hurry last night
he asked.
Well. to tell the trnth, I wanted
to get to a party
~ hope you got there on time, ;
said Halstead, with smile, and that
was all there was to it.
AT another time an engineer stole
some geese from a farmer. Halstead
got wind of it and called the man to

There remains in some quarters an

DIGNITY OF LINCOLN

In the first place, the president and

the chaplains in the regular army,
secondly, Mr.. Stanton was never adj
dressed by the president as Dear
Stanton" on any occasion whatever.
Lincoln's correspondence is proof pos
tive of this 1t also pretty clearly in
dicates that if Lincoln had friend
he desired to appoint to an Office he
would have done it very quickly de-
spite Mr.. Stanton's opposition.
In fact, Lincoln never started even

might have been clearly permissible.

True LUXURY.

True luxury to the mind of the aver
age woman consists in not thinking
about clothes at all; in being caught
out in the rain without having to give
a thought to ones apparel; in being
able to ring doorbell without consid-
ering whether the brass will leave a
mark on ones glove and so render its
time of usefulness a trif1e shorter. It's
not the average woman who saves her
gowns until they're hopelessly out of
date and then cuts them down for he-
daughters; it's the exceptional member
of her sex who economies in this fool
