SHE wATERED THE CHICKENS.
Little Girl from the City Volunteers Her Services in the PouI-
 try Yard.

Last summer little Chicago girl, five years old, was taken to visit on a farm in Michigan. This little girl had lived all her life in the great city and had never before been out in the country. The flowers, the fences and the apple trees interested her very much, while such common things as pigs, cows and chickens she had actually never seen before. She wondered at the pigs, was a trifie timid about the cow, but the little chickens only a few days olc were to her source of great de- light, relates the Cincinnati En- quirer.
 One afternoon shortly after her arrival the man was out in the front yard with sprinkling can, pouring water on the plants. To her wondering question: What is he doing that for?" some one replied: s'He is watering the flowers"
 Later in the afternoon she heard the man tell Brother Ben to ''go and water the chickens"
 ssOh! let me do it, exclaimed the tiny maiden, and she slipped away, but no one noticed where she went nor thought of what she would do. Five minutes later, when Ben went to set basin of water where the chick ems could drink, he discovered her gleefully drenching those tiny little chickens from the sprinkling can. She was sswatering the chickens Only two or three of them were able to endure the bath.

FOR AUTUMN WEAR.
Various Items of Feminine Apparel That Will Be Worn the Conn
 ing Season.

For autumn wear the small checks in silks and light weight woolens are still in demand, most commonly in black and white, but also in other dark colors combined with white. The hosiery to be worn, with these black and white gowns must be either solid black, plain white, or white worked with black devices, says American Queen.
 Embroidered stocks, cuffs and belts in the bright autumnal colors are smarter than ever. To keep these accessories free from wrinkles and in correct shape little strips of War ren's featherbone are used. Being pliable and unbreakable, it yields to the natural motions of the muscles, yet prevents the belt and stock from settling into mere strings.
 N Some stylish coats that may be worn for various occasions are made in white mohair, pique and soft silk with loose fronts, half fitted backs sometimes with band at the waist buttoned to hold in the fullness like military coat. As q rule, the less ornament the better taste, though some of these coatsa are trimmed with dark velvet and Russian lace.
 For travelling, a new glove is brought out in white, fawn color or gray glaze kid with detachable gauntlets. Gloves ssof the natural tint of Russian leather are in re quest.
 The finer the veil the better, and they still show spots and ring dots Lace vcils with accompanying scarfs are worn with many of the large hats, and we are coming back to the o1d-fashioned tambour laces.
 For dress trimming lace still holds its own, and all kinds of rich oriental embroidery are appearing on voile canvas and grenadine gowns.
 No woman should attempt to wear a fashionable skirt until she has re. hearsed how to do it well. If it lies on the ground in front, she must stand very erect and take short steps; if it trails on the ground be hind, she must catch it up in the back, giving it certain swing round in order to draw up the greater length at the other side.
 About midway between the feet and hem, thus raising it from the ground not only in the back, but al the sides as. we'll. The skirt should not be raised so as to draw any full ness about the hips.

0AKVILLE HAPPENINGS
The Land Sale is Booming and Many Presents Have Been Distributed.

Presents Have Been Distributed. Owing to the stormy weather yester day lnere was not as large crowd at the auction sale of building lots on Oakville Heights; but a number of the lots were sold and there are many more. People are surprised when they visit their Heights to find the land has all been cultivated in the past, making it good and it is now laid out in roads and avenue and the work is well done. The streets are fifty feet wide. J. A. king of West Hartford superintended the work. The presents were nunler- ous and handsome, as usual. George Lasseau of Waterbury drew a silver tea set; Miss Daisy Capewell a silver olive jar; Mrs Walter Capewell q bronze statue. Saturday will be espe- cially for the ladies. The balloon as- tension did not take place yesterday. As it was about to ascend some part of it gave way before it had reached a very great height which was very for tunate for Prof Flower. It is a great attraction for those who come to the sale. Many of the OakvilIe people are buying lots there. .
 Miss Laura Sales has accepted po- sition at the Oakville Pin Go.
 Mrs Frank Rose of Simonsville is visiting his parents, MT and Mrs W.. w. Jerman.

The Ordinary Cabman Often Has More Cash with Him Than the
 Man He Carries.

Ii man is worth only as much money as he can immediately com mand-a financial axiom ascribed to Jay Gould-then there are members of the stock exchange who .are paupers compared with the ''cabbies'' who touch hats to them, says the New York Herald.
 An actor, we'll known to all thea ter-goers, spoke about this at the Lambs club the other night. ssDo you know," said he, that I lost $50 yesterday on a wager in which I felt myself a sure winner?
 young chap from the avenue who knows it all and thinks he's bou- quet to us, while we jolly him along. sDavvy' brought him in to me while I was making up. He looks like an oriental prince,' said Davvy. He's blazin' like an incandescent.' And I saw he was, when gave him the glad hand, after wiping the grease paint off.
 's'Will you have supper tonight with me at Sherry's?' said he. told him I>would if he'd pay for it, and then, on the spur of the moment, I said: Because, old chap, I haven't sou about me. How much have you?'
 "He stared and grinned a bit, and searched his pockets, and said: Not a cent Quick as shot I turned to Davvy, whose wages, you know, are six week, and said: 'Davvy, atten- tion!' Then I turned to the other and said: I'll bet you $50 even that my man here has more money in his clothes just now than you have in yours I'll take you he said. He did.
 "I turned Davvy inside out, even to his underclothing, and got 46 cents. The chap undid his crush hat and took out of the lining $50, SEQ, two $10s some $5s, and I don't know what"
 This was not the experience of a writer in Wall street in making a chance and practical experiment. to de termine the amount of cash contained in the pockets of the apparently veal thy and poor.
 ''I beg your pardon" said the writer to broker friend on the rush for luncheon, ''can you change me five dollar note?'' The search of his pock- cts and his answer were almost in. Stantaneous.
 Dear chap" he said, "I couldn't change you nickel. I'm not bank. rupt, but I'm dead broke just now.'
 The writer darted across the way to cabby.
 ''Can you change me a 5o?' said he
 Certainly" said the cabby, and he did it with ease.

ONE CAR MOVED.
Serious Trouble Along the Hudson
 Valley Railway.


 Valley Railway.
 SANDY HILL, N. Y., Sept 19.- There was trouble here yesterday when the first car which the Hudson Valley railway has attempted to move this week through this town reached here. The car was bound south and was followed by a repair car to be used in replacing on the tracks the car which was derailed Wednesday at Fort Edward. The car was filled with dep- uties and soldiers carrying guns.
 When the courthouse at this place was reached, crowd of people who are in sympathy with the strikers had completely filled the street and spread itself over the tracks. District Attor- ney Pratt was at once summoned from the courthouse and, taking a position on the tracks, read the riot act. The crowd jeered him.
 Employees of the railway company then moved the car forward to posi- tion in front of the Waite hosehouse, where the hose cart had been placed on the track to interrupt the passage of the car. Those on the car, however, sent it right along and knocked the hose cart into kindling wood.
 Earlier in the day Sheriff Austin of Washington county, fearing his force of deputies would be unable to cope with the flke situation, called on otain Otis Dennis of Company of thet national guard of Whitehall for assistance. The company arrived in Sandy Hill eighty strong and are now in camp near the power house of the company at this place. The militia of ficers were at first unable to move their camp equipment from the Sandy Hill station, as no teamster in the town could be induced to carry it to the power house. Finally local cart man was impressed into service to do the work.
 State Labor Commissioner John Me Mackin and State Mediator Bernard Stark have arrived in Glens Falls with a view to bring about compromise and ending of the strike. This plan was tried a week ago by Mir. Stark, but his effort failed.

Bov Shot From a Car.

TROY, N. Y, Sept 19.-Charles Cur tin, aged fifteen years, was shot by a nonunion man on one of the Hudson Valley cars in Waterford late yester- day. The man fired from the rear end of the car into a crowd. The boy was not seriously injured, the bullet strik- ing him in fhe arm, making flesh wound. Hoodlums have caused much trouble in Waterford of late. The car was run through bonfire built on the track. Four additional shots were fired, but the bullets went wild. The man who is alleged to have used the revolver was arrested in Mechanics vile and brought to Waterford.

He drank glass of water that was rendered him and then quietly walked up the stairs and re- sumed his slumbers. Although he ad- mitted feeling sore the next morning he says he does not remember any thing of his remarkable fall.

Feat of a somnambulist.

From Lewistown, Pa., comes the re- port of the recent remarka ble feat of a somnambulist. Frank McNitt, while asleep, arose from his bed and walked out of the second-story window of his house and fell to the ground, dis tance of 25 feet. The next morning dents to the depth of four inches were found in the ground where his hips and elbows had struck. McNitt's younger brother, who saw him get out of bed, walk to the window and delib-
