of charm-airy and sweet-do you like
it, John?'
John Clarke Brown, Phi. D., was alb

"Oh, l was merely wondering
whether you admired the ubiquitous

"The Gibson head? Admire it? Why.

Helen felt a pang at her heart,
though she questioned smilingly,
(Which of the thousand and one?"
"Bessie Alter"
The smile died out Of Helen's face,
as resting her elbows on the low table,
she looked across at her husband.
"And did you love her so much?''

Helen paled little as she gave her
husband searching look.
"And you think of her now?"
His eyes changed guiltily. why,

me over the GOALS"
"And she would never haul anyone
over the coals?"
ooh, no! There was not the least
bit of shrew about her. She was

Awake at five! Would she ever
sleep again! One. two, three, struck
the clock. Her brain was on fire. At
four she softly arose and made her
way to the bath room. "A rose water
bath may quiet my nerves." she
sighed.
In the hustle of a hurried dressing
and breakfast, John had quite for
gotten the midnight talk. So, when
the time came for a goodbye, and
Helen with strangely averted face
evaded his kiss, ne looked mystified
and hurt. Helen did not raise her eyes:
she was clasping Teddie close to her
hungry, loving heart, and her face
was hidden in the curls of her only
child.
At last John found his voice. What
is up now?"
Helen's face was still turned as she
retorted, "Oh, never mind; you still
have your memories of that sweet
natured girl"
"And this is your good-bye?"
"And why not? consider it a rather
fine touch of sacrifice on my part to
leave you fancy free to dream of the
affectionate girl"
The professor opened his lips wrath
fully; but just then the expressman's
"all here!" sounded through the hall.

WOES OF THE TRAVELLER.
Variation Of Moscow Clocks a Source
Of Annoyance.

Arthur Symons in his book on
'Cities" says that no two clocks in
Moscow agree; even in the best hotels
clock will solemnly strike 3 quar-
ter of an hour before it's neighbor
strikes Z. The confusion is increased
by the fashion of sticking up dummy
clocks in the streets as ADVERTISE
ments. The maddening moment comes
when you have to catch a train at
Moscow. The railway timetables are
worked on St. Petersburg time, which
differs by half an hour from Moscow
time. When you are told that the st.
Petersburg express leaves at o'clock
you are in doubt as to whether it
leaves at $3.50, 9 or $3.50 by your care
fully adjusted watch.

lonQest Fence In the World.

The fence about the Fort Belknap
Indian reservation, which is forty
miles wide and sixty miles long, has
been finished, according to dispatch
from Helena, Mont. It is probably
the longest fence in the world and has
taken years in building. The plan Is
to protect the flocks and herds of the
eros Ventres and Assiniboines from
intrusion, as well as to keep them from
straying.

Your lips, dear girl, were roses. i; :
Your hair was ripened wheat 'H
The brook forgot his song to hear
The music of your feet. :.
Your hands were swift white butterflies,
Your eyes were wells of blue,
Oh, what riot in my heart
Was wrought by June and you!
And now for years beneath the grass
Your needless hands have lain,
And recollection wakes in me
A hurt that scarce is pain.
Asleep with Nature, breast to breast,
How peacefully you lie!
Above your heart the care-free flowers,
And over them-the sky.

GlOSSomancy,

Glossomancy is a new science"
which is reported springing into popu-
larity in Paris and other large cities.
It is the art of reading character by
the tongue. It teaches that If the
tongue is long, frankness is indicated:
If it is short, discrimination; if broad.
expansiveness;, If narrow, concentrar
ton. When the tongue is both long
and large, it implies that the posses.
sor is great gossip, frank to dik
agreeableness and thoughtless.

DENVER, Col. Dec. 6.-Frank J..
KratlSe, city license inspector; Joseph
Raw. Edward OMAHA and Charles
KofsiSy were today adjudged guilty Of
contempt by the state supreme court
and sentenced to Jail. The sentences
are: Kratke, one years Imprisonment
and $1,000 fine and costs; Ray and
OMAHA, six months imprisonment and
$500 fine and costs each; Kofsky, three
months and 5000 fine and costs.
These men were election officials in
precinct 8 of ward 5 at the
late election and were accused of dis
regarding the courts injunction order.
The principal charge against them was
that OF permitting repeating. Carl
Wilson. election clerk in the same pre-
cinct, was found guilty of contempt.
The court denied an application for re-
lease of the convicted men on sbail
pending an appeal to the federal
court
Arguments were heard on the con-
tempt charges made against six Off
cials of the same precinct, the ballot
box of which was opened last week.
Experts George H. King and NJ. M.
HANNA submitted reports differing in
detail but practically agreeing that
sixty-one Democratic ballots were
written by fourteen persons and seven
teen Republican ballots by six persons.
The additional charge was filed against
the accused that they stuffed the ballot
box. No evidence was offered in
their defense, but their attor-
ney, John c. Taylor, declared in
his argument that the supreme court
watchers were equally as guilty as his
clients.
District Judge Mullins ennpaneled
a grand jury In the criminal court to-
day and will tomorrow deliver his
instructions to them in regard to in
vestigating election frauds.
Before United States Commissioner
Capron today was begun the hearing

many members of the legislature was
practically served on the state can
vassing board today. No date was
set for the beginning of the contest.

Christmas in Paris

French children, instead of hanging
up their stockings Christmas eve, place
their shoes before the chimney In
the morning small children will find
toys for their rejoicing, but a child
who has arrived at the use of reason
is more likely to receive gift of a.
sum of money and a book. French
gift books for children, as much as
any other one thing I know, mark the
vast difference between American and
French civilization.
These books, as to contents, resem
bic those terribly good books that ages
ago in the United States formed the
substance of Sunday school libraries.
They are, if not sermons for the young,
then tales of children SO impossibly
virtuous as to be be more insufferable
than the longest, dryest sermon. In
appearance these books exhibit uni
formity as tiresome as their contents.
They are almost invariably bound in
bright red cloth, decorated with ara
besqde designs in vivid gold, and in
size they vary from that of a gospel
hymn book to something pretty nearly
as large as the family Bible. The size
Of the book is regulated according to
the merit of the child receiving it, and
also according to the heart Of the dom
or.-Harper's Bazaar.

Lieut.. Edwards Loses

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 6.-The
supreme court of the United States
today dismissed the writ of error in the
case of Artillery Lieutenant Frank B.
Edwards against the secretary of war
for restoration of rank. Edwards was
promoted to be first lieutenant in 1901
and then held the lineal rank of SO and
the relative rank of 854. Subsequently
commissions to the grade of first
lieutenant of artillery were issued to
ninety-one volunteer officers who had
served during the Spanish war and by
reason of their prior commissioned
services in the volunteer army, those
officers were placed above Edwards on
the list, thereby reducing his rank
ninety-one files. Edwards asked for
writ of mandamus to compel the secre-
tary of war to restore him to his
former rank in the United Sdtes army"
The court of appeals for the District Of
Columbia refused the prayer and to-
days decision has the effect of affirm
ing that judgment.

afternoon and evening sessions. Some OF
the other hats noticed were turbans or
continentals of fur or of velvet, match
ing the gowns, bright eolored hats Of all
shapes, worn with black or black and
white costumes, and white lace, beaver
or felt hats trimmed with colored feath-
ers, flowers, lace or fur which were worn
exclusively with evening toilettes. The
gown illustrated is made with full
skirt cut in eleven f1aring cores, gathered
at the top and trimmed with two puffs
edged with full ariehes. The tight pointed
bodice is draped around the figure and
finished with smart little bows in front
and over it hangs short. square bolere
edged with narrow plated ruff1es and
trimmed with antique gold braid. The
sleeves formed of two velvet ruffies
trimmed with narrow plaitings and gold
braid with puffed lace undersleeves are
particularly pretty and graceful. The
stock and tiny chemisette are, also, of
point venise lace trimmed with dull gold
gauze ribbon.

This does not mean that costumes de-

Father and DAUGHTER

Is there any fairer relationship irfhthe
wide world than this between father
and young daughter? Its only rivals
are the ties between mother and son,
mother and daughter and father and
son! To the budding womanhood that
skips and pranks beside him the set
tied man of affairs betrays the shy
chivalry that, so long as he retains
the innocence of his affections, nestles
at his heart. For her he remembers
again the gallant days of his youth;
he quotes poetry, brings out for her
amused and affeetionate inspection
dreams and hopes long laid by in the
cedar chests of memory. For her sake
he goes again into society, consents to
dress for dinner, is careful of his man.

life trail into his consciousness with
the soft swish of her lengthening
skirts-Harper's Bazaar.

GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM

Newest of the fashionable mothers
whins is the self-propelling baby car
riage-a miniature motor car built in
all respects on the lines of the ma
irons own flyer. The tiny automobile,
which apparently is destined to be the
toy of the youthful rich, in the pres
ent decade, is about half as long again
as the ordinary go-cart. 1t is made
of material similar to that used in
the big touring cars, except that the
sides have panels of woven rattan for
ventilation and the underbody is not
so heavy in proportion. Electricity
alone is used for propulsion-gasoli
and steam naturally being out of tho
question. The little runabout carries
in it's storage batteries power to drive
it for fifty miles. 1t can be con-
trolled by the child, IL the youthful
motorist is old enough, and also by
side levers easily accessible to the
bonne walking beside it. The younger
children of Mr.. George Jay Gould on
Christmas day will become the proud
pessessors of two such cars, and Mrs.

Home Dress Making

One serious defect in home Dress
making, especially in tailor gowns, is
found in the fitting of the coats, suffi-
cient width not being allowed across
the shoulders in the attempt to secure
a good fit The width of the back is
not increased by a coat made wide
enough across the shoulders, and If
curved in at the sides just at the waist
line it will be far more becoming than
if narrow above.
Taffeta, louisine, chiffon, crepe de
chine, and soft French flannel are all
in demand for the separate waist that,
all reports to the contrary, is still
fashionable. The waist of the same
color as the skirt, even when of differ
ent material, can be made in simple or
elaborate design, as desired. Hand
work in embroidery, as well as in tucks
and pleats, is one of the principal
features of this years models. but,
none the less, there are many charm
ingly pretty waists whose only en-
bellishment is found in the collar,
cuffs and belt.-Harper's Bazaar.
