RoUT OF A GAUDY YOUTH. j
Sought to- Make an Impression a
Woman Who Tried to
2. Avoid Him. q h -.

The young man who occupied a. seat
on the bench in the corner drug store
seemed we'll satisfied with himself. He
had pulled his trouser legs we'll up to
preserve their careful crease and was dis
playing a generous section of gaudy
stockings above his low-cut patent
leather shoes His hat was pushed to
the back of his head to give full effect
to parted bang that Topped on each
side over his fcS ehead. His turnover
collar pressed well against his chin and
was decorated in the center by a dimin
utive plaid bow. His cuffs were large and
glossy and he seemed conscious of every
one of these details and to approve of
them perfectly, @relates the Chicago
Daily News.
He had just lighted cigar at the
swinging gas jet over the counter and
its smoke seemed to annoy the woman
Who was also seated on the bench, wait
ing for her car. Perhaps it was the
smoke and perhaps it was the general
effect of the young man.
A puff of smoke foated over to the
woman and she eoughed -coughed loud
~ and pointedly-but the serene COM
placenceof the youth was in no wise dis
tuTbed. He turned around a little
stifiy, because of the collar-and the in
dignant look that he received, ought to
have been enough for him. 1t was not,
however, and the woman rose and
walked to the other side of the store.
At that moment the door opened and
a stout elderly woman with several
bundles and three children entered and
made for the bench The young man
did not move at first, but one of the chill
dren kicked against him with her
swinging feet and he shifted little, re-
adjusting his trousers. The action drew
the child's attention to the stockings
and she pointed to them. See, mann
NAL" she cried.
! Eyes" said the matron in loud, cheer
full tones. They're pretty, ain t they?
Look at the little red flowers in 'em.
Amt they sweet? Like sister Maggie's
fancy bag, amt they?"
The other children slid off their seats
to obtain better view of the gorgeous
hose. The young man turned a little red,
but continued to smoke. The woman
who had left the bench seemed pleased
and interested. @
tsAnd see the pretty, shiny shoes, !"
continued the stout woman f0,
The children drew little closer to
the shoes and gazed at them in open
mouthed admiration.
1T was too much The young man rose
and ,evadfng the eyeof the grinning drug
| clerk, left the store. AS for the woman
who had left the bench, she bought a
half-pound box of chocolates and gave
them to the children. sts.

EaFTY R1sHnn.

Although it may be of great benefit
to debnftated people TO go to bed early,
there are few things more ]1urtfn
than remaining in it too long Getting
up early imparts vigor which moth
ing else can give. Those who are not
very weak, indeed, and sleep well,
should rise soon after waking in the
morning. At first this will seem too
early for the debintated person, who
does not feed entirely rested, but ris-
ing early will gradually have the eff
feet of prolonging sleep on the sue
aceeding night. Lying in bed late is
,hurtful, not only because of too much
relaxation, but also by thus occupy
ing that part Of the day at which ex-
ercise is most beneficial. -American

a picture of an early statesman and his
picturesque attire: When the Hon. David
L. McCabe was elected to the legislature
from Butler county, in 1865, and went to
Topeka to be sworn in. he astonished not
only the natives. but everybody else, as
he was the most gorgeously dressed
statesman the county had ever produced
He was very dark, with long black hair
On his head was coonskin cap, the tail
OF the coonskin hanging gracefully down
his back. His coat was made of wolf
skins. nicely tanned and lined with red
flannel. Six handsome tails hung from his
coat tails and flaped in the breeze as he
meandered up to the speakers desk to
vest. buckskin knee breeches, handsomely
fringed; top boots, gloves made of beaver
skin, watch chain done in bead work. a
flannel shirt with a flaming red ban
neck; and II Is needless to say he Gre

The total additional valuation which will be shown by the work of the board will be about one hundred thou sand dollars.
