The DEVILS Soliloay.

One night as the devil sat musing alone
In the midst of his coy warm fire,
Trying to figure the difference in guilt
tween thief and an allround liar
His memory tured to the scenes of his youth,
And his eyes filled with hot boiling tears
So he took down his ledger and turned to page
Dated back about six thousand years.
~ suppose" he exclaimed, as he glanced
through the book,
I'm doing the best that can,
For my business denotes a continual increase
Ever since the creation of man.
I've crbbed good harvest for six thousand
years,
And should be content with the yield
And give my opponen permission to have
The gleanings leave in the field
1--WE gathered very diversife crop
Ofmerchants and lawyers galore;
I've bound politicians IN bundles until
The ends of my fingers are sore.
I've fddlers gamblers and insurance men;
I've murders, forgers and liars;
And fiji up my furnace with green populists
Till they actually put out the fires.
| I've railroad conductors to slare
| Horse traders and preachers to spend
|
And two or three newspaper men.
But there is one class, am happy to say,
Can never gain entrance here;
Their souls are so dirty, I'm sure that they

| Demoralize hell in a year.

The carrion crow Of the world
Who never is happy unless he can feast
On the wreck of an innocent girl.

His ISLANDERS would never atone;
So give him match and advised him to start
A select little hell of his own"

With his fingers he lit an asbestos cigar,
And placing his book on shelf,
He muttered: II may be very bad man,
But I've got some respect for myself"

Limbureer by Mail.

When the employees of the
house postoffce in Washington
arrived the other morning they
found strange package of mail
awaiting them. 1t proved to be
something entirely new in the
franking line. The odor of the
package, which came in a wood
en- box of considerable size,
threatened to put the postal clerks
to rout. 1t was under the frank
of Congressman Wiesse, of Wis
consin, and proved to be nothing
more dangerous than several
choice cakes of limberger cheese
The last time Mr.. Weisse was in
Sheboygan Falls he left some Of
his frank labels there by mis-
take and some waggish friend
used one of them to send him the
odoriferous parcel,

THE FUTURE OF DRESS.

AS women advance in the scale Of
progress, will they leave the love of
dress behind? Fifty-odd years ago,
when the first women's rights conven-
tions met in New England, this did
not seem a debatable question. Short
hair and boomers characterized the
feminine champions Of the cause.
Dress was proclaimed as one of the
vanities from which the sex was to
be emancipated. But fifty years have
passed; and now Miss Susan B. An
thony, in her gracious and serene old
age, wears point lace, like any other
woman fortunate enough to possess
it. The leader of a suffrage cOnven-
ton and those of whist club could
be shaken up together nowadays, and
no one would know which was which,
as far as their clothes were concerned.
The advanced woman no longer cuts
her hair short, and the speaker at a
woman'5 club is often the most dain-
lilly gOwned woman in the room.
The dress Of the future will follow

It is prettiar and daintier to-day than
it ever was, and as long as women con-
tinue pretty and dainty there is little
fear that the graces Of costume will
vanish. 1t would be graver world
if they did. Dress reform always has
a field. But when it is a reform
against nature, no one need worry lest
it should succeed. Dress is safe in
the hands of the women of to-day,
and ought to be safer still in the
hands of the women of tomorrow.
The alarmist has small cause for fear
on that score.-Harper's Bazaar.

A WOMAN DID 1T.

"How and when was condensed
milk discovered?' said D. M. Miedell
to the Louisville Herald well, that
is an easy question, known to all ven
ders OF the article.
at CHANGED that in 1854 the journey
from New Orleans to New York was
considerable trip. A certain lady
Mrs Albert Cashinger-determined to
make the trip with her sick infant.
Mrs. Casningers baby was so i'll
that she realized that it would be
necessary to make a trip TO New York
to receive expert medical attention if
she hoped to save the child's life.
But to travel that long distance the
child had to have milk Milk wouldn't
keep fresh more than a few hours
So there she was, kept back from
making the trip merely because she
could not supply the child with fresh
milk.
"In her despair she began to expert
ment to see if she could not preserve
milk the same as she did jelly or
anything else. She hit upon plan
which seemed to give satisfaction. So
she preserved several big jars of the
stuff, put it upon a sailing vessel and
made the trip. The child fed upon
the milk and was nourished.
SIN New York several men learned
of her discovery They tried to make
some Of the condensed milk in the
manner she had told them, but failed.
They followed her to New Orleans
and there she unwittingly unfolded
her valuable secret. On the island of
Galveston these men started a small
factory and there the first salable
condensed milk was made.
THE woman died poor. The manu-
facturer5 made a fortune. Now con-
densed milk is sold in every part of
the world.

WOULD YOU BE svELTE?

The "nealth" craze, which has been
started of late years by the insistent
demands of hygiene and the discon-
certing discoveries of scientific and
medical men, now includes new
"cure" for the matron with 5enden-
cy to embonpoint. This is nothing
less than a daily practice of the an
cient art of skipping" Every morn
ing the lady who values her personal
appearance must take her skipping
rope and soiemnly jump the allotted
number of times, breathing slowly
and regularly as she goes through the
performance. Tie girl still in the
nursery and schoolroom is also being
encouraged to revert to this old fash
toned amusement, which "has been
found to be beneficial in every way
to the health"
And yet, when we who are yet on
the sunny side of thirty look back
we can recall that rope skipping was
often condemned, When we were chill
dren, because it was so bad for the
heart!

WOMEN AFTER MIDDLE AGE.

she does for men. Her allegiance IN

are opened, her judgment cleared, and

The characteristics that seemed to
her hateful frailitieI long ago are de
Tended now as their poetic distinc-
tiOns, says Tire Independent.
She sees in every girl the fair mir
age Of her own youth; in the pathetic,
careworn face of tn eyou2g matron
the gentle heroism of other years; in
the mother Of a grown family her own
queen days When SONS and daughters
suddenly grew tall and proclaimed

out of her calculations.
They are the things with whom she

WHEREABOUTS OF MISSING
GIRL Is STILL UNSOLVED
DIR. Petrie Hoyle Can Throw No Light
on Disappearance of Miss
Bertha Ebert.

The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of Miss Bertha Ebert still
remains unsolved. DR.. Petrie Hoyle,
who is referred to in the telegram
sent to the missing girl by her sister,
Sophie Ebert, from Bay City, Mich,
can throw but little light upon the
subject. He says he is the manager
and resident physician of the Occi-
Orient Medicine Company, with Offices
in the Starr King building. He states
that Miss Ebert began working for
them early in June. She left their
employ on October 4, giving as a
reason that she was offered a better
position. That was the last they
heard of her.
DR.. Hovle scouts the idea of suicide
He says that when she left their en-
ploy she had $50. AS to her where
abouts he was absolutely at a loss to
offer any solution. Further than that
he knew nothing.
