Fashionable Than Ever.

London, Sept. Sd, 19O3:-As the
clown in the circus says "Here l
am again!'
| have simply haunted the West
End for the last week, and have
come to the conclusion that while
all new modes are old modes, the
modistes have culled the choicest,
and the variety is so great that
every woman may select her style
to suit her own individuality, al
ways avoiding 'manishness" which
is no longer smart.
This is the day that is truly
feminine.
Out door wraps for all occasions,
whether they be long, short or half
length, SAVIOUR of the elaborate and
quaint. The sumptuous coat with
which milady covers her carriage
or evening costume partakes OF the
picturesque or luxurious. Capes,
single, double and triple pereline
shaped, fchu shaped or round,
cover the top of the arms in both
simple and elaborate wraps.
Brown bids fair to hold the favor
it has gained and a brown frock for
autumn is an absolutely safe propo-
sition.
AS to fabrics, manufactures are
surprising all former efforts in
variety and beauty. Through the
courtesy of some of the English
manufacturers | have seen several

sold, weighed, unloaded and paid
for. While it is generally supposed
that no money is used, or is neces-
sary, in buying or selling grain on
commission, the fact is that it re-
quires large capital because of the
liberal amount of advances con-
stantly made on assignments. And
the greater the receipts the larger
the amount of capital required.
The amount of commission on all
Chamber Of Commerce transactions
is one cent per bushel, and from 5
to of this is consumed in Legitimate
and unavoidable expenses.
On the other hand the shippers
are not in position of imminent
danger. In these days of tele-
graphic and telephone communica-
ton the shipper knows as we'll as
anyone else what is going on. He
reads in his paper every day how
many bushels of every kind of grain
were sold the day before in Duluth,
Minneapolis, Chicago and Liverpool,
and the price paid per bushel.
When he receives an account of
sale" of a car which has been sold
for him by Minneapolis or Duluth
commission man he has only to refer
to his newspaper files to find what
the market was on the day of sale.
The certificate of inspection from
the state inspector and the certi-
ficate of weight from the state
weighmaster, which accompany his
account of sale, enable him to figure
out to a cent what his car brought
in the market. Armed with this
information it is not easy to see
how any advantage could be taken
of him.
Honest differences sometimes arise
between the commission man, repre-
senting his client, and the pur-
chaser. These differences are re-
ferred to the arbitration committee
of the Chamber of Commerce for
settlement. The committee is COM
posed of men of intelligence and
character. who are totally impartial
and just. The writer has appeared
before this committee on several
occasions of this kind to give testi-
mony as to certain transactions
performed by the state, and he was
impressed by the efforts of the COM
mittee to do full justice to both
parties to the controversy.

pie can be got at with babies await

ONE MANS HOBBY.
Given More Than One Name and
Gives Reasons.

II have a friend. a most amiable
and accomplished man, who has a
hobby that he seems never to tire
off, said Mr.. w. A. Villiers, of New
York, to Washington Post re-
porter. Ellis hobby is that no child
should be given double name. He
says that two given names are not
only unnecessary, but positive
handicap in the battle of life. He
will talk all day long on this head if
he can only get an auditor, and will
reinforce his argument by instancing
departed great ones who only bore
one name.
George Washington, Thomas Jeffer-
son, James Madison, Alexander Hamil-
ton, Ben amin Franklin, and scores of
others, are cited to prove that the
single name sutfices, and that in fact
it is vastly to be preferred. A man
who is very much in earnest and
who can make a good presentation
of his cause never lacks disciples,
and SO my friend has created an inn
preston in his circle of acquaint-
ances by reiteration of his theory.
In fact, not long ago quite worthy
citizen, who fell under his spell, be-
came convinced of the danger of the
double name and concluded to elimi-
nate one. Those of us who are in
doubt are waiting to see if any good
luck will follow the amputation, and
should it, we may conclude to do
likewise"

And got his pay in yellow gold,
Then started homeward after dark,
Home through the lonely forest. Hark!

Then held him fast on the miry ground ;
The robber uttered not a sound
While his hands and feet the farmer

And tumbled him into the wagon.

The farmers money, the farmers wife;

And everywhere his master goes,
He follows on his horny toes.

A socialist Sunday -school movement,
which has been firmly planted in Great
Britain for some years, is described
in the Boston Congrega tionalist. The
headquarters of the movement is at
Glasgow. In that city there are eight
schools, and half-penny magazine
called the Young Socialist is issued.
Socialist Sunday schools also exist in
London, Liverpool, Bradford, and 9TH
er cities. A little textbook OF 16
pages has recently been published,
presenting sociaistic doctrines in Ian
guage suited to the minds of children.
BY these publications the children are
taught to hate clericism and capital

of oppression and exploitation, and to
help unite all nationalities and races
in the same impulse of brotherly love.

MARRIAGE MAKES DIFFERENCE
The Tfmfd Wife Is Cherished, But
the Timid Old Maid IL
Laughed At.

Marriage, indeed, does make a diff
ference to women, and we who are
the old maids might just as well learn,
writes Miss Lille Hamilton French,
in "My Old Maids Corner" in
Century. My own first awakening
came when l saw my married
sisters calling to their stalwart
young husbands to help them over
some puddles in the road. And what
fuss they made! When they had
been helped over, they went on and
left me, the youngest, behind. I
called for assistance, too, it seemed
SO agreeable to command it. One of
my sisters, her hand still in that of
her husbands, looked back and said:
ITS easy. Step on stone and jump"
Then cuddling closer to her husband,
she walked on, not turning again.
L can remember, too, the wife of
some college professor who had been
asked to meet me when was perhaps
%. "Why, thought you were mar
ried," she said to me as we shook
hands. eff I had known you were
single, I never would1ave worn a long
dress" 1t was her only long dress,
learned afterward-that was why she
said ga" and not 'my'-a black silk
dress, by the way, which she had worn
for years, and which she made slow
neck" for dinner parties by unfasten-
ing the few top buttons. These early
experiences, and my having married
sisters, taught me much. Probably
every other old maid has learned, too,
that timidity and helplessness, for in
stance. SO engaging in wives, are con-
sidered ridiculous in spinsters. Is not
a timid old maid laughed at the world
over, and is not timid wife cher
ished?

Germans in British Columbia. In

PLANTATION of this singular fact? is
simple as the fact is strange. Ba-
bies don't get seasick because they are
accustomed to the rocking of the
cradle. That movement is much like
the rocking of ship. A baby aboard

nothing odd to him about the rocking,

Here was the time and place, he
felt. He would be several varieties
Ct fool not to take advantage of
this opportunity. He prepared to
speak out, and felt the perspiration
on his brow. This rowing was rather
warm work, after all. He drew his
handkerchief from his pocket. In it's
folds it brought the letter, which
f1uttered down at Miss Hayden's feet.
| The blood rushed to his face. He
was afraid to look at the letter or at
her.
you've dropped letter." she said,
calmly.
Like one who takes a plunge into
icy water he glanced down. The
blank side had fallen upward. With
an assumption of carelessness he
picked it up, and then, to give vent
to his feelings, began to row siren
uously. In moment they were in
open water again; his mind was no
longer in condition for declara ton,
and golden opportunity on a golden
afternoon was gone.
Gust cross that Hayden bill off
your list, Samuel, it's attended to-"
directed Abbott the next day in the
office. He did not intend that Miss
Hayden should be bothered by any
more bills if he could help it, and
he had formed a resolution, so in
tense that it was grim, to make an
attempt to help it without further
parley or delay.
It was about four in the afternoon
when Samuel rose with alacrity from
his typewriter, and stood grinning at
the counter, as he always did at the
approach of feminine patron of the
company.
II came to pay my BILL" said Miss
Hayden, opening her purse. Il am
afraid it is little overdue, but
"Oh. that's all right" interrupted
Samuel, you don't owe us anything,
your bills paid.'
"Paid? But that can't be. I don't
understand"
swell, our secretary knows all
about it. You had better see him.
Come right this way"
The jealous Samuel threw open
the glass door of Abbott's Office
with a bow, and the young man
and the young woman stood face
to face. He was on his own
ground here, and was wholly at his
ease, while she was very much en-
barrassed. He took the hand that
she almost unconsicously held out,
and led her to chair. "You may
go now" he said to Samuel.
But Samuel did not go very far.
He has ears that stand out from his
head inquisitively, and was able to
gather very fair idea of what
transpired on the other side of that
glass door. Samuel won't tell. 1t is
enough to say that in the near fu-
ture Miss Hayden will not have to
pay any more bills, nor even to teach
school. The expression of care has
given place to one of happiness in
her big blue eyes.-N. Y. Times.
