CAUGHT in a Tran.

Speaking of steel traps, I recall the
case of one man who was reformed by
being caught in one while attempting to
rob a neighbours corncrib," said man
who has spent all his life in the country
For some time rather welI-to-do farm
er in West Tennessee missed corn from
his crib, and he was. at a loss to know
why any man in his section of the coun-
try should want to steal. The negroes
on his plantation had all the corn they
needed, and if they didn't have all they
needed they knew they could get it by
asking for it. He knew there was no
white man within a radius of twenty
miles who would even think of robbing his
corncrib. But the corn kept Slipping
away just the same, and the thing kept
up until a good big hole had been made
In one side of the crib of corn. The corn
was pulled out ear at a time through a
small hole in one side of the crib There
was no other possible way of getting the
corn out. The man who was suffering as
the result of these nightly depredatiOnS
hnalIy concluded to set a trap for the
thief He arranged a steel trap in the
crib right by the hole so that the thief
would run his hand into it and cause
1t to spring shut and close up. 1t was
a large, heavy trap, and one which could
not be pulled through the hole in the
side of the crib. The thief made the
usual visit, and was caught. The planter
was amazed beyond description the next
morning when he found that white man.
and one whom he had often befriended.
had been caught in the trap The meet
ing of the two men was pathetic. The
thief was released, and nothing was said
about a prosecution John said the
planter, I know you are very poor. and
[ know you have needed the corn you
have carried away from my barn I only
want TO make one request of you. Here
after when you want corn you viii find
the key to the crib hanging on that wood
en- knob on the back porch wall, ard you
can just help yourself. And if YOU need
anything else on nv place YOU can have
it. John wept the sin away. Few per-
sons ever knew of the incident, and John
was afterward one of the best men in the
county. Getting caught in The steel trap
brought him in closer contact with the
fine virtues of friend-yirtues which he
had not dreamed Of beforehand the ex-
perience set him right with the world and
made a good citizen of Linn. New Or

spanaIed stockings on the Avenue.

1t is seldom that Fifth avenue draws
her fashions from Broadway, but this
seems the case in the instance of spangled
hosiery. This is season of spangles
anyway, and gowns andl7hats both are
improved by tactfUl use of tinSel and
gilt. Hosiery frightened by the use of
these glittering bits originated among the
theatrical folk, but negEsit seems that
the more fashionable women are having
fling at this style..aThe impending
vogue Of spangled hosiery is caused
doubtless by its becomiAgness. and the
brilliant dots give the stocking a dash that
lace can never impart. When the lace and
openWork- hosiery appeaTest upon the mar
ket there was surprise because this style
appeared so daring and 1nmodest. This
talk stopped as soon AS young women
realized how their ankles were improved,
and many genuinely nieAOgirls hailed wet
days with glee because they could show
their hosiery while crossing the street
After all, dainty hosieryEfs one source of
pride with many wonrehs and although
there may be prejudice against spangled
stockings at the start. these barriers will
be hauled down. Some of the newest
designs show a glittering snake embrace
ing black silk stocking. A yellow but
terfy, and even red heart of spangles
have been seen but the workmanship
must be OF the highest grade or else the
SpangieS are a failure. In a Broadway
music hall Lillian Russell displays a Won

gentina had good weather, very favorable
for harvesting, and in Liverpool Broom
hall found a better inquiry on the part of
buyers for Argentine wheat and a tenden-
cy to pay less attention to offerings from
America. Locally the feeling was strong,
prices holding around wednesdays level
and May advancing a shade: but trade
was so light that it was hard to tell what
the market would act under an ordinary
volume of business. A local trader had
a very bearish dispatch, repetition of
one from New York to a big Chicago

situation are more inclined to sell their

plenish with the first of the new offerings

market.
