LLOYD'S LUCK.

When Lloyd's father tod him that he
had sold the farm. and that they were
going TO spend the summer camping
out, Lloyd was very much delighted.
His father and two other men had
formed partnership and were going
to spend the summer in mining. They
bought their provisions and mining
outfit. and loading them i'm two wag-
ons, they started. Lloyd's father and

And without waiting for supper they
started fer the place. Lloyd could
hardly keep up with them. they walked

When they got to his rocker Lloyd
showed them where he had shoveled

men shovel the dirt into the sluicC
boxes ard see the swift muddy water
wash the rocks and coarse gravel out
Mt the other end. They found the
dirt was not very rich, and somc
days when they made cleanup
they would find n very small quantity
of gold dust in their rifles. less than
half an ounce for Il whole days run.
Lloyd soon grew tired Of watching
the men work: he wished 10 90 s1.le
mining all by himself; so his father,
one evening after his own work. made
him n little rocker out of the thin light
boards Of a dry goods box. and every
day Lloyd would play he was ! miner.
Finally he carried his rocker IN Inc

One Of the ncl lad called % him,

Millinery Fad Of heiress.

Miss May Van Allen. the New York
heiress. is a godsend to her milliner,
for she never wears the same hat
twice, this being one of the eccentri-
cities for which she has become IA
nous. Her head-cOvering is always as
large as fashions law will allow. Miss
Van Aliens hats are characterized by
outlandish touches. She has one fine
Charlotte Corday hat in valenciennes
lace. The lace bands overlap one an
other. and a woman estimated there
were eight yards of finest lace wrap
ped about the wire frame. Miss Van
Allen has one of those "bebe" hats
with a curtain effect in front that
droops almost to her nose. Another
that has caused a stir is a rose pink
tulle bonnet with black strings. She
wears II with a pale pink gown.

MUTUAL Respect Bond Of Unity Be
tween Se-- and Gray
One OF the most remarkable friend
ships ever formed in congress was
that between Vest and Quay of Penn
sylvania. They esteemed highly each
others qualities of personal charac.
ter. and between them there was q
strong intellectual sympathy. Never
theless. Vest. because of his conviction
as to constitutional law. found that he
could not vote for the admission of
Quay to the Senate upon the appoint.
ment of Gov. Stone of PENNSYLVANIA.
The single vote of Vest would have
seated Quay and would have saved
him the long. severe struggle which
resulted in his election by the legisla-
ture. Before the roll was called Vest
told Quay in the Senate cloakroom
that his vote would be adverse. He
made the statement with tears in his
eyes. Quay. who knew the loss of this
one vote would bar him temporarily
from the Senate. shook Vest warmly
by the hand and declared that he re-
spected and loved his Missouri Demo
cratic friend as much as ever.

FEuDs OF SOCIETY WOMEN.
New York Leaders of Fashion Hold
Their Grudqes Long.

A leader of New York Society said
recently: 1T is almost impossible tc
give large dinner any more. There
are too many feuds and quarrels and
women who hate each other are the
cause of too much embarrassment to
a hostess. Of course, they try to
gloss their enmity for the time, but
the result is worse than open war
fare. At one dinner q cabinet officer
sat between two great women of
fashion. He talked to one and then
to the other. and tried to draw them
into a three-cornered conversation.
The women ohgtinately refused to ex-
khge word and finally the man
and he was supposed to be a diplomat
introduced them. A chill followed.
They had known each other for TWEEN

RuIow Family Is Larne

There will shortly be a great gath.
ering of the Bulow family in Berlin.
The chief of the clan is chancellor Of
the German empire, and there are no
fewer than eighty other persons of
his house and name who hold office
under the state. One of them, indeed.
is to be found in every government de
partment from the foreign office down
TO the police station at Aix-la- Chapelle
and, what is more. they are all of one
blood. and claim the right to bear the
arms of baron. When all the Bulows
connected with the government serv-
ice come up to Berlin with their wives
and families there will be 40 of them.
The whole group is then to be photo
graphed.
