Yes, neighbor, the old folks is gone.
Strange, want 1t. goin' the same
day7
As well, perhaps. 'Twodld be forlorn
II one of 'em had had to stay.
Jake was stern, onbendin' man.
And Prue as prickly as a bur,
Yet always havin' smiles for him;
He always had smile for her.
Known EN- for years. yet never knew
The day when Prue's sharp, worn old
face
Didn't light up when she see Jake;
Her grin was Just like an embrace.
And as for him, he'd kinder chuck.
Gittin' his wrinkles all astir
She always had smile for him;
He always had smile for her.
Not overnice to other folks,
A-strugglin' on to make life pay,
They had their little stock of jokes,
And loved each othsr, anyway.

If we take account of the durability

for whereas the 15-inch smooth bore
was limited to twenty rounds under
the given conditions, the modern IL
inch rifles, judging from the small
amount of erosion developed with
nitro-cellulose powders, should have
a useful life of at least half thou

remembered that the modern elon-
gated shell will hold its velocity much
longer than the old spherical shell OF
the smooth bore, and consequently the
respective muzzle velocities and
energies are not an exact criterion OF

MIRROR TO EXCHANGE SIGNALS.
Ingeniousiy Used by Man and Woman
In a City Prison.

In a City Prison.
Ingenious are the methods adopted
by William Sampson, alias Allis, who
Is locked up in the felony department
of the city prison, to get into COM
munication with his wife and baby,
who are under lock and key In the
women's department under the charge
of the matron. These people, with
their little baby. Charlie, 2 years OF
age, are suspected Of being highway
robbers who have worked with horse
and buggy in Golden Gate Park.
Every night about 7.30 o'clock
party of women folks call at the prison
to see Mrs. Sampson and Baby
Charles, who are held awaiting the
outcome of the charge against the hus-
band and father of attempted rob-
berry some weeks ago.
Mrs. SIMPSONS visitors are as regu-
lar as clockwork, especially since the
police have ordered that she must be
kept strictly away from her husband.
They were there as usual last night
and sat to the left of the booking SER
geant's desk, facing the big wall clock.
The entire party watched the clock
closely as they played with the little
baby, who was armed with toy bal
loon. a present from a man who had
been arrested for peddling without
license.
Sharp at o'clock Mira. Sampson
moved over to the end bench, right up
against the misdemeanor portion OF
the prison. and this placed her on a
direct line with the door leading to
the felony ward Policeman Maloney
saw that she was smiling and waving
signals toward the place where men
charged with serious crimes are kept.
He investigated. He found that the
pair had a perfect code of signals and
a mirror through which the husband
and father might see and understand.
Sampson was up against the door OF
his cell, with his right arm barred to
the shoulder and squeezed through the
narrow bars. His arms was stretched
as far out as possible and in his hand
he held a large sized mirror. In this
he could see his wife's image and read
the signals she waved to him. On &C.
count of his bad left arm-the bullet
that hit him had passed through his
left shoulder-he was unable to wave
his signals back to her. This function
was performed for him by his cell
mate, who was none other than Will
liam Rode. the pseudo electrician who
robbed a score or more Of Oriental
stores OF fine silks and valuable trim
kets about two months ago.
When Policeman Maloney discover
ed the system of the pair he informed
the matron. Mrs. Ryan. of what was
going on. and she will endeavor to
sweat out of her prisoner the exact
meaning of the signals

THE HOUSE BEAUTIFUL.


Rro5eric anglaise curtains for win

ment Of the craze for this style OF
embroidery
Venetian blinds are daily growing
in favor and are the only really con-
sistent thing for Co'on!al rooms.
A novelty that has both newness
and attractiveness is called Norman

tistic-pleasing in co!oring and style
and strikingly new.
Adjustable valances are the very
latest new idea in lace curtains.
These curtains are finished at the
top with a heading like valance ana
have loops at the back that can quick
ly and easily be attached to pole
or have brass rod run through them.
Chains are new feature in furni-
ture decoration that are at least
odd. They are used to hang lamps
from, swinging tables and to hold
back draperies. Some of the inner
chains are quite effectively used as
fringes for mosaic and co!ored glass
lamp shades.
Folding fireplace screens OF BRASS
finished either bright or dull, are
very fashionable at present. Tney
may also be had Of cheaper metal
finished in black or gilt.
For the cen or small room in the
modern apartment hanging tables are
very convenient. These add quite
little to the attractiveness of certain
style rooms and decidedly economlze
space. They are suspended by orna'
mental chains.
Tiles or brick work for nantes
these days, are put up with very wide
joints between.
Colonel effects are the rage of the
hour in the house furnishing world.

VOGUE IN WOOL.

From all one sees and all one hears
the cashmere dress is to be great
favorite. Made with a neat plated
skirt and snug little Elton, trimmed
up to the lapels and with a wide
girdle, it will be trim and trig gar
ment, just the thing to wear until
time to put on a fur coat. says the
Washington Times.
Cashmere merino and serge, light
in weight, are being made into at
tractive autumn shirt waist suits. A
little lightweight checked shirt waist
suit is also good.
It is possible these days to puy
velvet which doesn't look hot, and
for very little you can get enough
velvet to make pair of deep ours
and few velvet bands upon the
revers. You will also want some
heavy ecru lace for your cuffs and
your lapels. With these materials
you are complete. If your suit con-
sists of skirt and blouse yon will
want to work differently.
They are wearing whole costumes
this season which they call MORE.
They are shaded or MORE costumes.
Six or seven shades of one color are
worn and the whole is set off with
white.
To get together a shaded gown one
might begin with rosewood red
serge This would be made with pip
ings of garnet taffeta. and narrow
bands Of brown velvet. The vest
would be in very light rosewood and
the buttons French knots and strap
pings in red. The wide girdle would
match the hat, which ought to be a
mahogany brown. Aud the whole
would be complete with touch OF
white upon the hat or long blue
plume. AS many shades of one color
as can be managed are gathered to-
gether IN one costume.
A very neat fall dress had made
its appearance. It is made of light
weight wool and Is in pretty shade
of steel. It is made precisely like the
pique dresses of summer. The skirt
it plated or killed and there is
plated blouse waist. This gown may
be in steel or cream. OF light
blue or tan. The model is the same.
1t is really a winter shirt waist dress
with killed skirt and warm wollen
blouse waist made snug and neat and
trimmed with tailored stitching. A
dress or two like this In the ward
robe would be very neat and useful.
It could be worn even in very cold
weather
But the winter shirt waist suit is
coming to the fore. Made In cash
mere. or brilliant plaid, it is pretty
thing for all the fall and all winter.
