Artistic Dinner Cards
sY MRS. E. e. STEVENS.

Dinner cards seem almost limitless in their variety and the hostess of today de- mands the latest and cleverest design.
 Some of the New York stationers show cards for almost every occasion. The cards for brides maids luncheons, en- gagement dinners or wedding transports showing designs of cupids, sprays of orange blossoms or maidens arrayed in bridal costumes.
 For coaching party, when the supper comes later. there are brilliant red cardp with a coach and four horses executed in black and white.
 The poster cards are very fetching and are very popular this season. They show all the audacity of color and form which is characteristic of poster art.
 Golf designs in dashing red and green, also bright plaids are especially good when entertaining enthusiasts of the sport.
 For all the holidays one can get special designs appropriate to the occasion.
 Flower cards of every variety can be bought and lend quite a little to the dec- oration of the table, especially when they stand up instead of being placed plat on the napkin in the old convention al way. The cards are seen in all varie- ties and all shapes following the fancies of the hostess
 The Gibson figures in black and white are somewhat on the wane, having been used for some time. The dallim design, showing gallent men and lovely women costumed in Eighteen century fashion form another popular suggestion.
 For stag dinners designs in burnt wood are very good One dear hostess drew sketches illustrating the fads or the business of the guests and had no nam es. This occasioned Q good dead of merriment in finding their proper places.
 Another hostess with the pen had the guests in caricature with couplet suggestions of themselves. Some conser- vative people, however, prefer a card which can always be used for any occa- sion. For this a small oblong white card with ones monogram in the corner is al- ways In good taste and If one entertains very much they are found to be very convenient, as well as economical

connoaition of our first house of repre- sentatives.
 Thomas Bibb of Limestone an elder brother of the governor, man whose solid virtues and practical wisdom are illuatrafed in a useful career of service. was honored by the first incum mbency of inc Senate presidency. It proved to him n distinetion that the fortuity of political fate was soon to broaden Into greater compass than that which defined its be- stowal. and without the struggle that is the wonted price for that great office, 1t secured him a few months later the chief magIstracy of the state. James Dellet of Monroe was elected speaker of the house of representatives, and as the exponent of that dignity he has left us a lofty instance of personal adapti- bility to official requirement-that rare and coveted union of qualities too often latent In the choice of presiding officers of popular and dellberatiye assemblies. MT. Deliet was not only skilled in the knoweldge of parliamentary law, but pos sessed the faculty of enforcing 1t in its relations to men and measures, and un- der his executive guidance the counsels of the first house appeal to us as an in- splration of "order regulated by law"
 The career of the first speaker con-
 
 statesmanship. In a public service ex- tending through many legislative terms, and a record in Congress embellished by q high order of achievements there Is nothing in evidence to shadow the bright ness of the renown which encircles his name in history. From the tributes that admiration for his character and talents have invoked, this from the author of "O'Neal's Bench and Bar" is sublime in its definition of the essence of honest fame: "He scorned to solicit the good opinion of men except by honorable &C., tions openly performed"
 Governor Bibb was inaugurated in the presence of the two houses under impos- ing auspices, and amid the plaudits of constituency exulting in the newly born pride of sovereign citizenship. The occa- sion melted him to an address which Colonel Pickett labels handsome and appropriate" In his message. which con trary to modern usage, preceded the inaugural speech, he indicated in the opening clause the object that was up permost in the popular mind, and around which the rising sun of material prosper ity revolved. It Is in the nature of an all fusion to "the abundant crops which 1t has pleased the Almighty to afford"

HIS EXILE.
Curious House Built by the Wife of a
 Pardoned Convict in Missouri.

From the New York Sun
 q read a story the other day, said a William street lawyer ''of the death in Memphis of an ex-convict who had been oardoned by the governor of another state on condition that he should never return to the State. Such incidents are not frequent, but they have occurred be- fore
 ''I recall one in which the pardoned han compiled with the conditions but in a novel manner. His family, consisting of his wife and daughter were compeil- sd by reason of clause in the will of the wifes eccentric father to remain in the State in which the husband had been convicted of forgery.
 'The wife had money. She bought piece of ground which lay across the boundary line of two States and erect ed thereon house, one-half of which stood in one State and one-half In the other.
 'In this house the pardoned man and his family lived until the husbands s death. I have been assured by the wife herself that her husband never crossed the State line. The house stood in Mis- souri and Arkansas.
 The pardon was issued by Gov. R. M. Stewart of Missouri who, by the way, was a Character in his way. He was a native of New York State and after his death his body was brought back to this State and rests today in an unmarked grave.
 "The man who was pardoned was not common criminal. He had been a prominent politician in Missouri, and notwithstanding his one misstep he was a man of hlgh notions of honor The reason why Governor Stewart imposed exile in the pardon was due to the fact that the man had bitterly opposed Stewards can didacy.
 Tt may add to the interest of the story to tell you that when the exile was taken sick he made his wife promise him that she would not have the funeral from the Missouri side of the house."

Prize Sea Anemone.

From the New York Sun.
 A sea anemone recently received at the Aquarium Is remarkable for it's size and beauty. It was fished up off Long Branch with the stone to which It had at tached itself. It measures, distended, five inches or more across its base, five or six inches in height and seven or eight inches or more in spread of tentacles In color 1t Is of a deep orange, or sal- mon, with tentacles of a delicate flesh tint It is as large as any sea anemone ever shown here from neighborlng waters the brightest in color, and the most per- feet specimen.

FEW PAID WOMEN DRIVERS.
One Occupation, at Least, of Which
 Man Still Holds a Monopoly.

One occupation that women do not ap- pear to take to Is that of driving. It Is not unusual to see women driving pleas ure vehicles, runabouts, phaetons and that sort of thing in the parks and up- town avenues, but 1t Is very unusual to see a woman driving any sort of busi- ness vehicle in the lower part of the city. A man whose business for dozen years has taken him here and there about the city says that in all that time he has never seen woman driving truck, and only two women driving wagons. And in one of these two cases the wagon was apparently from a garden truck farm somewhere just off Manhattan Island, leaving just one regular business wagon belonging here that had a woman driver. Women have found their way into many occupations that formerly were monopo- lized by men; but they certainly have not interfered very much with mans monop- oly of the work of driving.

One of the biterest fights the senate has known for years was initiated when the omnibus territorial bill was called up. Ever since the report of Senator Beveridge's committee twas made known the Hobbies and commit tee rooms have been the scenes of passages at arms, and now the contest is transferred to the floor of the sem ate. As republicans are fighting re- pubIicans it is case of when Greek meets Greek. Senator Quay Is lead- ing the fight for the bill as passed by the house and has let his intention, to block all legislation until the territorial bill is acted upon. be known. "Com- mercialism in legislation is the favor ite term of opprobrium with which the opponents assai1 the bill and the sen, ator from Pennsylvania.

RUBBER BECOMING SCARCE.
Peruvian Forests Almost Exhausted

Peruvian Forests Almost Exhausted
 Gatherers Must Look to Bolivia.
 United States Consul kenneday, re- porting to the state department from his station at Para. Brazil, calls atten> ton to the alarming decrease in the caoutchouc in certain parts of Peru where heretofore the greatest output was gathered. The consul says that the caouthhouc forests of Peru, from which nearly the whole supply of this product has heretofore been draWn, are practically exhausted. This Is the re- suit of the wasteful methods pursued by the gatherers who, instead of bleed- ing the trees, cut them down. This de- structiye process has been going on for many years, and now the former great caoutchouc forests of Peru are almost decimated. He is reliably informed, however, that there is an almost mex haustible supply of caoutchCuc i'll the little known regions about the Upper Madeira. In the near future gatherers must look to Bolivia for their supply of this gum. It is understood that a strong effort will be made to prevent their destroying the trees, -as in Peru.
 The supply of balata, from which gutta percha Is made, is so great, how ever, that no fears of shortage need be entertained for years to come, if the business is properly and inteIligently handled. Experts report that there is not a tributary to the Amazon which does not show forests of this tree upon its banks.
 Consul Kenneday deplores the fact that as result of his previous report on this subject three syndicates-Eng- fish, Belgian and German-are now in the field to produce gutta Percha and no American syndicate has so far put in an appearance.
 The importance of this new in dustry in Brazil may Ee realized when 1t Is known that the market price of balata Is equal to that of the best rub Der and the cost of production is less than one-tenth that of rubber.
 The balata fields of the Guianas and Venezuela are said to be nearly ex- hausted, which makes the discovery of the supply on the Amazon of the utmost importance to the commercial world.
 Another advantageous feature in connection with the production of bal ata is that 1t does not necessitae the risk of life attendant upon the gather ing of rubber. The balata grows upon high ground, as on the margins of the swampy streams, where the levers turk. 1t is q common saying that ev- eEy ton of rubber from the upper river costs two lives. This can never be said of balata, for men may work at this industry with no greater risk than usually attends any labor of the trop- ics, and four men will gather as many Kilograms of balata a day as 30 men can obtain of boracha.

ALL HAVE TROUBLES.

If Dame Fortune treats you badly as you
 travel on the way. Do not let that fact disturb you, but be
 cheerful all the day, Never lose your pluck and courage, and
 whenever she may frown, Just go on about your business and she
 cannot put you down. Yes, refuse to treat with trouble; in q world so bright ard fair You will ffnd there is no reason to be loaded
 down with care. You should tackle your misfortune and
 should fight 1t out alone Please remember all your comrades have
 some troubles of their own. If you fight all care with laughter. then
 it cannot cloud your sky, And will quickly vanish elsewhere-will
 be sure to pass you by. Go and study souls with trouble-those
 who have it night and day; Is it not because they hunt it? That Is
 why 1t comes their way. That each soul must have some trouble
 is a truth that's oft confessed, But we need not nurse 1t always-joy may
 often be our guest. And we do not need to sing it, or go shuf-
 fling round and groan, For our frien6s and other people have
 some troubles of their own. -St. Joseph Gazette
