The Rustier.

In these days of push and.bustle, It is
well that all should know
It's the man who gets hustle is the
man who wins the dough,
And the chump who sits supinely,
waiting on his laggard luck,
Is the lad whom fate fights shy of,
as an irresponsible duck.
So, when seeking for advancement,
in the lines that lead to wealth,
Wait not on the acts of others, get
hustle on yourself.
Get the habit, seze it. grab it, push it
through for all that's out,
And you'll win what e'er your calling,
while the laggard waits about

India six Handkerchiefs at Ties.

The proper thing this summer for
men, according to information from
those mysterious authorities who
know all about the fashions in adj
vance Of their coming, is going to be
large india silk handkerchiefs to be
worn as neck stocks or ties, says the
Philadelphia Record. These are to
be worn with outing shirts, but are
not to displace' collars. On the con-
trary, they are folded into triangular
shape and put into the rundown col
lar just as the regular necktie is. This
leaves a peak going down the bacK'
and the ends are tied in front in the
regular four-in-hand style. The result
gives a sort Of breezy, negligee look'
though it does not sound as though
the device would be cooler than any
other already in vogue. These hand
kerchiefs come in light and dark col
ors. with white borders of different
patterns, sometimes a little loud
all tastes may be suited.

RUssTA's BRIGAND FOES.
Cinnamon Going About Selling
Wealthy Merchants.

Manchurian brigands are thus de
scribed by James w. Davidson In his
"Manchuria" in the July Century:
Much has been written regarding the
trouble that the Russians have had
with the chunchus. These mysterious
people are not distinct race or semi
savage people, as is commonly thought.
They are only common, everyday chi
nese or Mantchoos who find it more
profitable and less arduous to wander
over the country, Selling wealthy mer>
chants for ransom, robbing remote
farms and villages, attacking travellers
and looting carts on the great high
ways, than it would be to drive anil
mails or till the soil. Their suppression
is not easy, for the vast stretches OF
wilderness which abound in Manchur1a
offer secure retreat. So numerous are
these banditti and in some districts so
perfect is their organization that they
have constructed fortified encamp-
ments and in large bands not tnfre'
auently attack Russian stations.
