"WAY OF THE TRANSGRESSOR-
Addison irving Found Out This Scripture
Truth to His Discontinue and
-..-E- EXPENSE,

When Addison Irving had been married
only short time he was called from New
York to San Francisco on important busi-
ness, and decided to take Mrs. Irving with
him. though the state of his finances hard
ly warranted the additional expenditure.
He managed, however, to secure passes
as far as Chicago, where he bought mile
age tickets for the rest Of the journey
from a scalper at q considerably reduced
rate. These tickets had been originally
issued respectively to one George Lawton
and one Margaret GrGbb, and were sup-
posed to be used by no other persons.
Each bore the signature OF its origina!
purchaser and skeptical conductors might
require the holder to write that name on
a separate piece Of paper for comparisons.
So Mr.. Irving set his wife to copying the
signature of Margaret Grubb, while he
familiarized himself with the quirks and
quirls of George Lawton.
Addison said Mrs. Irving, dubiousiy,
''does this seem exactly right?''
"Oh, wer,'' he answered, not wholly
free from a sense Of shame Everybody
does it, and the railroad companies expect
it,
"But am not Margaret Grubb,'-she
was manifestly willing to admit that much
land it doesn't seem right that / should
sign her name"
However, Mr.. Irving explained to her
that when Margaret sold her ticket to the
scalper she tacitly authorized any sub
sequent purchaser of it to 1mpersonate
her. Moreover, he made the point that the
transportation had been paid for and the
company ought to furnish it. What diff
| ference did it make whether one person
or another rode on the ticket?
This seemed reasonable to Mrs. Irving,
so she practiced the signature until she
had it pat.
But when they were seated together
| in the train a new complication presented
| itself to her.
Addison she whispered, never
thought of it before. but what business
have George Lawton and Margaret Grub
to be travelling together?"
| Mr.. Irving could invent no sophistry
to overcome her scruples now. He sug-
gested that they might be brother and
| sister. or cousins, or something.
! Yes she answered. that's likely

and nobody thinks anything of It.

| immovably. ''Why, couldn't look the
conductor or anybody else In the face. No.

willing to crafty them, he stopped and
ordered a pipe; after smoking the Borgne
requested that we should take good care
Of this chief. and would report whatever
the great father should say, and the
council being then broken up we took
leave, with a salute from gum.
When the party arrived at the Rec
towns, within South Dakota, Big White
rather indiscreetly mixed into a trouble
between the Rees and the Cheyennes in
which he told them that both parties were
at fault; apparently however, this in
discretion was forgiven by the Rees. who
treated him thereafter with great civility.
The captains very much desired to take
some of the Rec chieftains to Washington
but it seems that after Lewis and Clarke
left them, Gravelines, the French trader
who lived with the ReeS, took one of their
number down the river and presumably to
Washington, and he had not returned.
They were therefore fearful that some
mishap had befallen him and refused to
venture out until his safe return was as
sured. = a.. ...-.

Proceeding down river, the party ar
rived In St. Louis and thence, along the
next January, reached Washington, where
Big White was made much Of. Jefferson
and his cabinet entertained him and his
dusky wife and little one. They were
guests at the White House and received
special attention from Dolly Madison and
Mrs Gallatin ...

There now came on board a Mandan

been found out ** According to the
story, Of the tMandan woman, when Lisa
found the Aricaras disposed, to stop him,
he told them that large party with the
Mandan chief would soon arrive, and after
giving them part of his goods, including
some guns he was allowed to proceed. The
Indians determined to kill him upon his
return, but let him pass for the present,
lest rumors9 of their acts and Intentions
might reach the parties below and cause
them to turn back.
"Lisa's account Of this affair, as re-
lated by Breckenridge, has already been
given. Pryor and Chouteau were led to
believe: that Lisa had secured his own
pass port thru these tribes at their ex-
pense. How far their suspicious were true
cannot be said. 1t Is not the only charge
Of the kind against Manual Lisa, but it is
q, singular fact that his various acts sof
alleged bad faith, such as here related,
come only from those who claim to have
suffered by them. The reputable histo-
rians Of the time make no mention of
them, and they are evidently to be taken

make long trading trips into the sur
rounding country. If, on his return,
a Laos husband fails to account for
his stock and to turn over the proper
amount of money to his wife, he is apt
to lose her. She simply orders him to
leave, and public opinion sustains her
in the act The man has not treated
her fairly, and she has a right to di-
vorce him.
No Laos husband hesitates an in
slant when this command is given.
Every principle of his manhood for
bids him to remain in the house mo-
ment longer, or ever to return to his
wife. He leaves, and the house and
property remain hers. Sometimes men
desert their wives, but this is unus-
ual All these divorces are legal, for
the courts leave 1t entirely to the peo-
pie to regulate their own marital rela-
tons. Still, says Mr.. Dodd, divorces
are less frequent, proportionately, than
in America, There is no law as to the
children, but they usually remain with
the mother. who is quite as we'll able
TO support them as the father.
A Laos woman has a strong COM
mercial instinct and is often a trader
or merchant. Agriculture is universal,
every family having its own house and
land, and while the woman does not
work regularly in the fields, she helps
at special times. She weaves splendid
cotton cloth on her handloom, strong
and durable and quaint and beautiful
in its design and coloring.
She makes her own skirt. straight,
narrow bag with fine, richly colored
stripes. A mass of white cotton. pass

embroidered batiste or lace are even
dearer, though moderate skill with
the needle can fashion the lace sort
at home The fad inspires dainty en-
ployment for idle fingers, and wher
one stops to consider how much Ii
gained by pretty and stylish details
it seems surprising that more of us dc
not take to the gentle art of stitchery
The gowns which smart women are
wearing at this moment display, In
many cases, a delicate sentiment for
the holiness of the season. For the
informal dinners which occur during
the Lenten period white cloth is a ma
terial which lends itself to both suit
able and elegant effects Many such
gowns are now being seen, rich lace
trimmings giving them a touch OF
fashionable wordliness and adding, in
every case, to becomngness.
One exquisite toilette of white cloth
displays skirt border and bodice
trimmings of Irish lace in what is
called Chinese fretwork. The pattern
,of the lace mounts and drops in long
ornamental pieces, initiating the cary
ed woodwork seen on Chinese tenn
pies.
Another beautiful frock is of a very
open mesh blue yelling. over white
a canvas for Russian embroideries
which, in dull shades of red and blue
shape a highly decorative skirt band
and bodice trimmings, The wide band
of the skirt is placed at the flounct
quarter. Below, it. leaving a bare
space at the apron, hangs a deer
fringe of white silk, mingled with rec
and blue threads. The same fringe
appears upon the flowing sleeves o.
the bodice and edges the stoles of the
novel collar, which is made of white
silk with red and blue embroideries

The demand for shirtwaists is great

Soft finished stuffs, such as chevio :,

HOW TO COOK FISH
IN VARIOUS FORMS
FOR LENTEN FARE

With mid-Lent comes the ever re-
curing problem of making the fish,
diet palatable and varied. BY this
time, the average housekeeper has ex-
hausted her receipts for Lenten fare,
and welcoms any combination which
bears the stamp of novelty.
Cheese can be added to many fish
dishes with excellent results, not only
because it improves the flavor, but
because it has certain nutritive quail
ties which fish lack. To avoid any I'M
pleasant after effects, in using cheese
for any receipt add a pinch OF carbo-
nate OF potash. This is as simple as
bi-carbonate OF soda and absolutely
tasteless. None but fish with a white
flesh should be combined with cheese.

dish, the combination will contain pot

fastening is under the left arm. The
worked silk forms a narrow shoulder
collar, which, running down each side
of the stock finishes with narrow
bands that button it TO the bodice.
The sleeves show the close upper por-
ton which distinguishes all arm cover
ings at present. The puffs of the lower
part, beginning just above the ell
bow, are gathered into pointed cuffs
OF the embroidered silk, which also
composes the stock.
A book might be written on the
charms and complicatio of the fash
ionable sleeve alone. No two are
alike. II one seems lovely. the next
one appears more So One point is
insisted upon, and that is that they
all lie as fatty as possible at the top.
For the rest. the bottoms may bulge
in transparent puffs, which seem mon
strously big by comparison with this
close section: or they may flow loose
~ or simply simulate these effects
With some clever device.
The modish collar band is also
thing OF many fancies, with the alb
solute requirement alone that II fit
the throat very tightly. To facilitate
this snueness few stocks are now
lined, and the bishop stoles of their
little turn-overs are narrower and
longer than ever.
The numerous changes for neatness
required by such styles dishearten the
woman of modest means. for these
little collars in linen cost anywhere
from IS cents to 50 apiece. Those of
