They Worked the Fraternity.

The Grand Regent of the Royal Ar
canun, of the District of Columbia,
tells a story on himself, how after pa
tiently urging, persuading and nagging,
he managed to get a fellow acquaint-
nee to join his order. This new MEM
ber.-say Mr.. Smith-after joining was
at first delinquent in paying his dues,
and the great mogul of the fraternity

Up. After a time. much to his surprise.
Mr.. Smith sent his money in promptly
on the day it was due; then he sent in
his money two months in advance. A
short time after, Mrs. Smith came into
the Grand Regents place OF business
and said, won't you please come
around to see Mr.. Smith. he is very i'll"
OF course the kind-hearted Regent
went. He found Smith very i'll. indeed,
so sick that the physician had told
him his time on earth was limited, and
Smith took occasion to thank the Re
gent for getting him to join the order
so that he might not pass away leav-
ing his family %unprovided for. Smith
died. His widow then beseeched the
Regent to try to get her some work to
do so that she might support her
family. The Grand Regent was again
obliging, and by hard work and an I'M
limited amount of red tape, got her
through the civil service examination
and she obtained a position in one of
the Government Departments. Just be-
fore receiving her notice to go to work

New Walk For Women.

From London ome startling re-
ports of a new figure and a new pose
which have been called into existence
by the winter fashions. Women who
have for the last year been lightly
tripping in the short "trottoir" skirt
have found that they must adapt
their style of walking to the new or
der of Things. A slow, languorous
movement of the limbs Is therefore
cultivated, as being more conductive
to grace when wearing the long red
ingote" coat and the newly intro
duced princess styles.
The new walk is Just n little sug-
gestive Of the Gibson girl" but in a
modified form. The figure is held up
right at the shoulders, with the
slightest forward bend at the waist.
the head is erect, the chin in and the
legs swing from the hips. The cor
rect poise is not attained all at once
according to the London EXpress-and
at the physical culture schools, where
society is now graduating in the arr
of how to walk in a "~redingote." some
very drastic orders are given. The
practice of sleeping on the back or
one side is fatal to the new poise.
If the woman of fashion would look
tall and stately she must sleep face
downward. with a pillow tightly
wedged under her chin In order to
avoid suffocation.

Old Enoch Gray lived in the now
almost forgotten town of Castaway,
on the coast of Maine, and his son
"Scat' lived with him.
Old Enoch WAS a grizzled veteran
of over seventy years, a relic of the
civil war, in which he had done good
service as Il pilot in the fleets of Du-
pont and Porter, but was now badly
crippled by rheumatism, and the re-
suits of his fifty years exposure to
the wind and weather in all quarters
of the globe.
He had long been a widower, and
the only one left of his numerous
children was this son, christened
Samuel Carter, now twenty-five years
of age, and as long and lank and
homely as could be found on the en-
tire coast. Because Samuel Carter
had a kind of feline expression and
from his earliest babyhood could climb
like a cat, anything from the old lib
erty pole on shore to the mast of a
vessel at sea when the winds were
blowing great guns, and because he
had Il habit of making a sort of pur-
ring sound when about to speak,
the children had first nicknamed him
PUSSY" and then someone said
"Scat," and "Scat' it was th~enceforth.
old Enoch was the captain of one
of the many pleasure boats and now
the most sought for, when the sum-
mer boarders wanted a man in whose
knowledge of ~seamanship they had
the most implicit confidence, and
whose prophecies of the winds and all
possible storms were so much more to
be relied upon than "Old Improba-
bilities,' as they called the Weather
Bureau at Washington. If the party
was to be large and the trip was to be
to one of the many islands and in
cluded Il clam-bake and chowder din

father, and many stories were told of
his great strength and remarkable
agility, and jokes were made at the
size of his immense feet. 1t was said
his shoes were made on a special
"last," and he always insisted on
having the soles filled with great
brass-headed nails.
Castaway was in those days, and
may be yet, the home of many sa-
looms and drinking places, and the

street bordering on the wharves was
lined with them, wnere Jack when
ashore was wont to leave not only all
his hard-earncd dollars. but his manli-
ness and happy disposition, and to be
transformed into a lighting and quar-
relsome brute.
Late on an afternoon, as Captain
Gray and scat were nearing their
landing place, with Il party of young
people, Captain Dick Hardaker, full
of bad gin and worse temper, stag
gered down to the wharf, and with
deep-muttered curses watched them
as they prepared to disembark. Years
before Captain Dick had been one of
the towns best-trusted sailing mas
ters and most-respecteG representa-
tatiyes but on an unfortunate voyage
had run his ship on the rocks and
lost crew and cargo. In spite of his
personal bravery II proof that the
accident was unavoidable and
through 40 fault of his, the Scotch
verdict of moi proven had been
given, and he had failed to get anoth-
er ship. This and the mishap itself
had soured his disposition and
changed him from a bluff-hearty sail
or, into a drunken. quarrelsome loafer.
He was a man of powerful frame,
standing six feet two inches in his
stocking feet. and was given n wide
berth by all his quondam friends and
shipmates, especially when, rs was
most generally the case, he was under
the influence of bad liquor. The two
captains had been old friends, and had
weathered many 4 gale together. but
now seldom spoke. That morning
Captain Dick had met the pleasure
party and offered his boat and ser
vices. but his habits were well known,

turned away with an angry oath and
muttered That he would take his re-
venge later.

directly in front of the old man. and
calling him a vile name, added:

stared in stupid amazement. "Why,
you young fool, clear out of my way.
I've half a mind to double you up and
drop you overheard, before l do the
old man; get out of my way" he
Numbered.
The pupils of 'Scat's" eyes mar
rowed, as do those or his feline pro-
totype when cornered by some big
dog, but he stood still, seemingly I'M
cornered and looking as %ungainly and
awkward as il at a school eXamina-
ton. The captain started towards
him, with his arm raised and his
powerful fist clenched, and old Enoch
hastily grabbed a club that lay on the
wharf. But "Scat' said softly:
"Neyer mind, Pap-just you watch
me-" Stepping rapidly backward, as
the captain continued to advance, he
deftly calculated the distance, and as
quick as lightning threw a hand
spring. Instead of landing on his
feet, he shot out those immense hob
nailed shoes with fearful force, land
ing them both full in the captains
face, cutting it to the bone in a
dozen places. Captain Dick dropped
as if hit by a n ball, without
even a groan.

THAT TEST" CASE"

Whatever may be the decision of the
Supreme Court, one thing is certain,
Lake City will be the loser. If the decis
ion is against her, the great majority
of the people of the State will continue
to regard her as actuated by spirit of
spiteful disappointment, as they regard
her now in having instituted the suit.
If on the other hand, she should be sue
ccssful and the university be finally es-
tablished there, it would enter upon its
career worse handicapped than any sim
liar institution ever was before.
Lake City entered the contest for the
university location, and so long as she
felt sure of winning the Buchanan bill
was all right. Since then it has been all
wrong. We were opposed to the bill, as

Intimate Talks Between Publisher and Reader

came to pass.
NEARLY 1000 SUNS WERE SOLD.

kind that won't come off, but he got the
announcement of his mind. Well tell
