The FUNNY SIDE !:
BY RAMBLER.

Among the crowds who were
watching the opening of the
drawings, was a young lady who
had been made to believe by.
the notary who had made out
her registration papers, that
she would certainly draw a
quarter. After waiting for
some time for her name to be
called, she said: 'tAll men are
liars. I was told / would be
among the first to draw a lucky
number, and here / have
waited for half an hour and if
/ don't get number in five
minutes, I will take the train
to Minnesota and be married,
and the horrid land may go. !"
Taking from her grip a picture
of a handsome young man and
gazing at it a moment she said:
II guess I'll not wait the FIVE
minutes. =
A man who had imbibed too
much liquid corn and tobacco,
was asked by an officer to ac-
company him to the city hall.
The man took off his hat and
said: Shay. this first time

Growth Of the Enullsh Tongue.

To-day over 1876, 100000 people speak
English. 1t has displaced French as
the language Of diplomacy and is now
making great Roadway as the uniVer-
sal language of trade. All North
America, South Africa, Liberia, Aus
tralia, New Zealand, Samoa, Hawaii,
most Of Polynesia and various small
states have permanently adopted our
mother tongue, and there is every rea-
son to believe that the 100000 of
Filipinos will be using 1t in the course
Of time. With the construction of the
Panama canal, Central America also
will probably yield to it's influence to
a large extent-Kansas City Journal

Newest Ideas In Yokes.

Quite the newest thing in yoke is
he square outline, although many pre-
fer to cling to the pointed yoke, find
ng 1t more becoming. The Jokes are
made Of lace or eyelet embroidery
with stock attached The square yoke
has also made its appearance on the
strictly tailor-made suits. Here, how.
ever, 1t is made up Of starched chemi.
settle order, with upright collar, such
as used to be worn exclusively with
severe shirtwaists half dozen yearH
ago.
At the front of the collar on each
corner are embroidered beautiful mo
tives, such as flowers, butterflies or q
design in eyelet embroidery. This
gives a truly feminine touch on so
uncompromisingl stiff an affair.
To state what colors are to be worn
is impossible. There is a perfect
craze for vivid shades of yellow and
orange, which comes under the name
Of coque-de-roche. A touch Of 1t is
generally fiattering to the face, its
brilliant coloring often bringing out
hidden charms of color in complexion,
hair and eyes.

Ribbon cuffs are a novel feature Of

A lovely creation in biscuit broad
cloth Git looks white in the evening"
shows the very broad sleeves to be
gathered into correspondingly broad
cuffs. And these cuffs are Of ribbon.
OF the very broad ribbon but one
width is required, the pretty, figured
stuff being draped down to a width of
five inches. In this way nearly three
fourths of a yard would be required
for each sleeve. The delicate greens
and pinks are especially exploited on
the ivory grounds of these lovely rib
bons. Naturally, the striking novel
ties here suggested do not exhaust the
uses to which ribbon is put, though
the others are not as surprising.
