A young man in Newport has been
wondering what the girl meant, ever
since the other evening, when, coming
home from the dance, he remarked to
her, "Are you not chilly? l have your

"Yes you may put it around me-" He

An old maid was taking the wrinkles
out of her face by constitutional

when she came across one of those
small corner groceries which had sign

on the subject of matrimony, for she
went in and ordered husband and
three children.

MORGAN DECEIVED.
Financier Takes Over Railroad
Has to Buy Terminal.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-The announce
ment that J. p. Morgan had taken over
the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
railroad, relieving the Erie Railroad
company from it's purchase, has
brought TO light an amazing story of
high finance. 1t is asserted that Nor
gan is Il loser of millions in the transac-
ltion. Morgan bought the c., II. and ID.
from Il syndicate for the Erie, and 1t
now appears it was the worst bargain
he ever made.
Eugene +. Zimmerman, father-in-laW
of the Duke of Manchester, former
president of the c., II. and d. and
now president of the Detroit, Toledo
and Ironton railroad, is said to have
figured largely in the transaction.
Zimmerman. it is said, was the head
Of the syndicate hat disposed of the G.,
II. and ID. through ii. b. Hollins q Co,
Morgan's favorite brokers. While the
deal was being put through thinner
man made his headquarters in their Of
flee. About $10,O00,000 was involved
in the deal.
When Morgan turned the c., II. and
d. over to the Erie, the c., II. and ID.
was supposed to valuable termi-
nails in Detroit, Toledo and Ironton. At
the latter place it had the right to
the Ohio river ON the new bridge.
These terminals and rights were sup
posed to be included in the purchase,
according to the understanding of the
Erie directors.
After the deal President Underwood
of the Erie made n thorough inspection
of the property. He discovered that
these terminals. valued at millions OF
dollars, had been turned over by The
c.. ii. and ID. to the Detroit, Toledo and
Ironton company, apparently without
consideration. To make the property
worth anything to the Erie these ter
minaIs would have to be purchased
from the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton
company, of which Zimmerman is the
president.
Mr.. Morgan has Informed the Erie di-
~rectors that he does not blame them
for being dissatisfied with the purchase
and that he would take the road off
their hands.

Diamonds Exnlode

A curious fact regarding diamonds is
that it is not uncommon for the CRYSTALS
to explode as soon as they are brought
up from the mine. Sometimes they have
burst in the pockets or the warm hands
of miners, due to the effect of increased
temperature. Large stones are more
likely to do this than small ones. valu-
able stones have been destroyed in this
way. BY way of safeguard, some deal
ers imbed large diamonds in a raw po-
tato for safe transport from South
Africa.

Fashion Notes.

New sweaters have collars and cuffs
of knitted plaid.
Young girls are wearing the dain-
tiest Of soft white null frocks, simply
tucked and capped by white null hats.
Brown has had a strenuous run in
millinery and will not play a large
part in the composition of the autumn
hat.
Yellow linens have a little vogue,
but the color is too trying to take well,
and is not nearly so popular as pink or
blue.
Hunt up all your odds and ends of
velvet for this material is to be more
extensively used than ever in adorn-
ing the winter gown.
A good many women now wear all
white instead of black for mourning
and long, heavy wells are slowly but
surely being abandoned.
A blouse should never look like the
top of gown worn with stray skirt
and tht is exactly what the surplice
separate waist looks like, and why il
does not take"
One of the prettiest flower fans con.
tains an oval mirror on the reverse
side, while attached to its ribbon loops
are three tiny bags holding sachet

and various, but fashion agrees that
there is nothing really daintier than
the plain silk hose molding the in
step to perfect curves.
Skirts haven't made up their minds
whether to sweep the ground or dis
port themselves airily aloft, but the
chances are a sensible length will be
a la mode for walking.
Sleeves hesitate to declare them
selves openly, but 1t is at least or
dained that all fullness must be above
the elbow, and 1t is apparent that there
need not be quite so much iullness a.

Her Idea of Muffs.

Muffs, which will play an important
part in winter fashions this year, have
reached the limit Of expensiveness,
not to say usefulness. 1t seems to be
q law-although an unwritten one
that muff Innings shall be white or ex-
actly matching the fur. Mrs. Harry
Lehr, who will get no fatal case Of
chills for lack of costly furs, in speak
Ing OF them recently, said she pro-
posed to have movable muff Innings of
pale tones, just to be slipped in to
serve the color purpose. The perma-
nent lining, of course, is not interfered
with. One of the costumes which has
been sent here from Paris for the fall
Is Of smoke-gray CLOTH hat with pink
plumes and chinchilla muff fiuffed at
each end with the pale frills of pale
pink satin lining. 1t is likely to have
o most depressing influence on those
who vie with Mrs. Lehr as lavish dress
ers.- New York Press

Witte's Wife a Jewess,

Mrs. Witte, wife of the eminent Rus
sian statesman, Is a Jewess. Those
who recall the treatment of the He
brew race in Russia by court, govern
ment, and people will be able to ap-
preciate the extent to which this un-
ion has handicapped Witte, the situa-
tion being made more difficult by the
fact that Mrs. Witte, besides being OF
humble birth, was formerly the wife
of very obscure official subordinate
of Witte, to wed whom she obtained
dissolution Of her first marriage,
says the Chicago Chronicle.
1t is true that she Is very clever
woman, that her second marriage was
love match, and that she and her
husband are a devoted couple. More
over, her salons at st. Petersburg are
frequented by ia haute finance" both
Russian and foreign, which has led on
more than one occasion to totally un-
founded and scandalous rumors, cir
culated by her husbands political foes,
to the effectsthat the habitues of her
salon used them to hatch "coups de
bourse" on the money markets, both
at home and abroad, with official in
formation and secrets obtained
through her from her husband. On
one occasion the charges of this kind
took such pronounced form that
Witte demanded of the czar an inde-
pendent inquiry into their foundation
which resulted in the establishment Of
the groundlessness Of the accusations.
With all that, however, Mrs. Witte
has until now not been received at
court, and the great world at st. Pc
tersburg has followed suit--that is to
say. the feminine portion thereof.

Farm Notes.

Let cows eat pumpkins but not the
seeds.
To obtain full value for the wool 1t
must be sent to market in the best pos
sible condition.
1t is impossible to raise big NUT
ton sheep on short pasture and with
out grain and roots
Rye chaff will cause the milk to dry
cows losing their calves.
1t takes blood to feed sheep ticks,
and blood Is too costly to be used in
this way; get rid Of them.
Pay attention to the food given cows.
1t must be of good quality, as dirty or
musty food is very injurious.
For poor lands and short pasture
sheep are better adapted than cattle
and should be kept in preference.
A sheep that will not yield a profit
no matter how we'll bred 1t may be,
should have no place on the farm.
Six weeks before killing time, diet
of corn and cold water has been found
to give good results with ground bar
ley a close second.
On the cool nights put in the barn
the horses that are out OF pasture. Be-
gin putting little grain in the feed
of the grass-fed horse, gradually in
creasing it.
In buying food for your poultry it
will not cost any more to get varie-
ty than all of one kind, and it will be
to your interest, if you want eggs, to
furnish the hens with variety.
Have nice pen of fowls .yarded near
much travelled street or highway and
note the interest the passersby take in
them. 1t is one Of the most effective
ways there are of advertising your
stock around home
Celery should receive intensive cul-
ture, plenty of water (manure water at
intervals), the earth being drawn
about them in an upright position. Do
this very carefully by hand. Early cell
cry is ready to bank or board up TO
blanch.
One ounce of meat per hen three
times a week is about right. During
the moulting season little more meat
may be given to advantage. Never
feed the meat mixed In mast, as the
hens are likely to get more than they
require. which will result In digestive
troubles.

Gathering Onions.

Onions should not be gathered till
ripe, or till the tops have dried down
and the bulbs become firm. Then they
should be stored in cool, dry place.
1t does not matter how cold a place is,
the colder the better, so long as the
onions do not freeze. However, IL
frozen, they should not be moved, but
covered up and left to thaw out grad
ually. 1t is not the freezing that does
the damage, but the disturbing of the
roots while in this condition. A good
way to store them for the winter is to
put them into crates and keep In a
room having tight floor. Place the
crates on scanthngs and far enough
from the wall to admit of a free cir
culation Of the atmosphere. When
cold weather approaches cover suf-
ficiently to keep out the frost. Handle
carefully so as not bruise the bulbs.

was sent over to Paris last summer to

er, questioning her ears.
"Yes, shaved. That sounds queer,
doesn't it, but it Is true. You see, the
nap was very long and constant use
for several years matted it down. To
counteract this the rug was sent over
to Paris to be cleaned and have just a
shave taken off it. so this would not
happen again. Expensive? Well,
should say so. The carpet cost a
small fortune in the first place, to say
nothing OF the duty. Now second
duty had to be paid, and then, of
course, there is the shaving in addi.
tion to all this"
