Some time since two merry sons
from the land of the shamrock were
walking down a railroad track of one
of the suburban lines, and so interest
ed were they In an animated converse
ton that they didn't hear the rumble
of train that was rapidly bearing
down upon them.
The warning whistle came too late
for one of them, and before he could
sidestep he was urgently lifted to a
bank some feet away. Instead of dy-
ing on the spot he sat up rubbed his
eyes few times, and then his face
broke into broad smile
"Shure, Moike," said the one who
had nimbly jumped from the track
and escaped a rude jar, do yez think
it is a joke to be kilt?"
"Begorra, an who said it was?" re.

The prediction Of the disappearance
or the high girdle has become nearly
as familiar as the one that has doomed
the bolero TO extinction only to find 1t
shaking itself from the ashes of a
neeting disfavor to assume its same
old place in the wardrobe or a still
worthier one.
The girdle, as fac. is just as much
IN evidence as ever, and, with the
princess gown or it's effect waxing IL
popularity, the girdle is likely to re-
main prevalent for another season at
least
II is still, too, in the latest gowns,
as pointed as ever. The fact is that the
girdle is suited to the wearer and. any
shape which is becoming is modish.
For slight figure there is a worth
ful suggestion in the cut where the
waist IL swathed with a deep, shaped
gfrdle, pointing low at the front and
extending half the width of the bodice
at the top, where 1t ends in two points.

"MAMMY JAMES" LAST DAYS.

One Of John c. calhoun's Slaves
Cared for by Grandsons.
The future of the negro is not a
problem with the old aiistocrats of the
south, even where the families have
taken up their residences, as many of
them have. in New York, says the
New York Press.
Two Of the grandsons of John c.

Nanny Jane" as she is known in

the butler, and the buffers son is the
boy at the door, or, as he would be
called in the south. Buttons
In connection with this remnant of
the days of slavery the following story
is related of Nanny Jane" when
she was living in "Chawlstun." II was
part of her duties to attend the gate
and receive the cards of callers. The
bell was on the gate of the southern
homes and visitors did not leave their
carriages until the servant of the
house waited upon them at the gate.
Nanny Jane" like all good house
servants in the south, understood her
business. On the occasion referred to

For Early Fall Topcoat,

For the tailor-made coat the mtder
ately full coat sleeves, rather high and
square at the shoulder but not empha-
sizing these lines to an exaggerated
degree, and the modified gigot quite
full at top and rather close below the
elbow. are the two models that have
the greatest vogue.
The gigot form may be secured by
the cutting of the plain sleeve, or may
be attained by laying the lower part
of the sleeves in flatly-stitched, small
vertical plaits.
There is no denying that the gigot
idea predominates in sleeve modes,
but it is modified and chastened gig
OF that we have accepted and shows
itself rather in the fact that the sleeve
is broader at the shoulder than any
point below than in exaggerated full

Grin Hats for Fall and Winter.

Grin hats are to be worn all the fall

or trimmed with foliage in green
shades, or rosettes of shaded ribbons
also in green's, make one of the little
hats, which is good not only for any
season but for any occasion. There is
a new tarpaulin hat in three-cornered
shape brought in this fall which is in

makes an excellent outing and rainy

Wayne Winslow had decided aver
sion to seeing the localities" Of a
strange city, and always declined en-
phatically to go through" any insti-
tuition by way of sight seeing. There
fore, it was with rather an i'll grace
that she was accompanying her father,
who was bound on a tour OF inspection
to the Soldiers Home, having been re-
Gently appointed on the board of trus-
tees.
The winsome young girl looked very
pretty, If petulant, as she came into
the office of the commandant of the
Home. There were some books and
papers her father wanted to examine
first of all
This will be very uninteresting for
you" suggested the commandant to
Mayme. Would you not like to go
through the grounds and see the gar
dens?"
Mayme acquiesced quite readily.
II will get you an escort" he said

he was accompanied by young man

Lieut.. Loranger. He will be pleased
to show you about"
Wayne glanced up, expecting to see
some grizzled veteran. A flush of sur
prise suffused her face as she beheld
tall, stalwart youth of fine com
mand and appearance. AS she walked
beside him down the winding drive
way leading to the gardens, she sus-
tanned her part of light conversation,
but she wondered the while what he
was doing in this institution

81 had forgotten about any of the
young soldiers being here. l thought
1t was just home for old men-civil

A slight flush came into his face
There are a few of the Spanish
American war soldiers here" he said
"Of course none Of us would be here
from choice"
Quickly Mayme's slight contempt
turned to warm pity.
mo, | am sure of that" she said
alphabetically and then she tact
fully turned the subject.
When she reached the rose garden
he bade her pick any flowers she
chose.
"Oh, are you allowed to pick them 2"
she asked in surprise.

A Skeleton,

Fosston.-A Skeleton was dug up by
farmer, fifteen miles north of this
place. 1t was found at a depth of
twelve and one-half feet and was very
large. Though badly decomposed, it's
general form and size could be clearly
made out. The head itself extended
from corner of the well which the
farmer was digging and which is about
three and one-half feet square. The
teeth are well preserved and the lar
gest ones are between three and four
inches in length, occurring in groups of
three Or four The general character
of the country where the skeleton was
found is hiliy The sub-soil in the To-
cality is sand and gravel, though par
ticular stratum surrounding the skele-
ton being a dark loan.
Various opinions are current as to
character of the skeleton, but the best
informed persons who have seen the
bones incline to the visw that they are
of mastodon. Dr. McKennon of this
place has in his possession some of the
best preserved bones.
