THE CASE WAS NOT HOPELESS.


Two young women had been discuss

ability

He simply doesv' said Sallie. 81

You don't want brown, madam he

me: You have too sallow skin to
wear brown, madam. Here Is a cloth
suitable for you and he showed me
hideOus mixed thing in gray and
black"
Did you take it?' asked Jeanette.
Il did" replied Sallie. but for a
long time l was very firm about not
wanting the goods. That was while
we were talking about the way to
make the coat. l mentioned an Elton.
But he smiled at me in pity. oh, no.
madam he said, sadly, you can't
wear an Elton. 1t takes a very young
lady to wear an Elton. What you want
Is coat cut just four inches below
the waist line
Then he asked me to stand up and

tape measure and measured me while

the way you talk in a nightmare, you
know, realizing perfectly we'll what
you want to say and not being able to
say It,"
Sallie paused dejectedly. What

moments silence, "how it happened.
For I've got Duke of Wellington

go to make up a strong minded person,
and you know very well that the nose
of that tailor Is snub, and he hasn't

giggle, you'll like your suit"

Mn AIRY Ellen Hosmer! Marry

bert de Lisle. are you a fool
or crazy, or what that you dare to
talk to me about that glrl?"
And old Ralph de Lisle brought his
clinched fist down on the table beside
which he was sitting with an ener-
getic movement quite unusual to him.
while his low brow contracted, and
his spare, bloodless face grew purple
with rage.
Herbert de Isle, his son, stood
proudly erect before him, not a muscle
OF his noble, handsome face moving,
as he witnessed his fathers wrath.
Then you will not consentT said
he, calmly.
"Never! and the old, white haired

American politics. In his line Secre-
tary Wilson has made quite as credit
able a record as has Secretary Hay
in the department of state. To be
head farmer" for a nation as large
and rural as the United States Is no
small undertaking. Some idea of the
vastness of the farm interests in the
United States may be gathered from
the fact that every year this nation ex-
ports 1881, 100000 more Of agricultural
products than the total amount i'm
ported. James Wilson is the fourth
secretary of agriculture. Before it
was raised to the dignity of cabinet
portfolio the department was a di-
vision Of the interior department.

Most Deadly of Poisons.

THE most dreadful polsons," said a
chemist ARE only known to a few
men. Mercury methide, for instance,
the inhalation of whose fumes pro-
duces incurable idiocy, can be manu-
featured by two Italians, and by no
one else In the world.
"Dhatoora is a poison used in India.
1t, too, produces incurable idiocy. A
British army officer told me OF a sad
Casa case Of two rival tailors, one
of whom gave the other small dose
of dhatoora. The victim Of the drug
remained an idiot all the rest Of his
life He sat and moved his empty
hands as though he were sewing. He
was a formidable rival no longer.
"Mercaptan produces a melancholy
so great as to terminate nearly al
ways In suicide No government will
permit the manufacture and sale of
this poison.
"Dhatoora, mercury methide, mer-
captain and some twenty other polsons
are neither made nor sold In any pub
lie way. They are only experimental
with. Such poisOns would be formid-
able weapons in INSCRIPTIONS hands.
Driving their victims to suicide or to
insanity, they leave behind them
nothing suspicious or untoward. The
giver of these poisons is secure from
any fear Of punishment.
Hence 1t is no wonder, Is 1t, that
the learned men who know such pol
sons keep their knowledge to them
selves? If dhatoora, for instance,
we're obtainabie, think how our opera
singers, our painters, our dressmak.
ers and our money kings might fill the
lunatic asylums with their rivals"

birthday party. Each guest must send
Miss Pinkie bouquet containing as
many flowers as she is years old, and
the flowers must have a meaning.

these flowers to be sent to Miss Pinkie,

NO SIGN OF STRIKE ENDING.
Big Demonstration of Chicago Strikers
Planned July 5.

Chicago, May 30.-Nothing has de-
veloped that would indicate an imme-
date settlement of the teamsters'
strike which has been in progress for
nearly two months. That the labor
unions are of the belief that the fight
will be long one was demonstrated
at the meeting of the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor Sunday, when arrange
ments were made for holding a strike
demonstration on July 5. According to
the present plans it is the intention to
hold monster parade of the strikers
and the affiliated unions unless the
controversy has been ended before
that date.

TO PREVENT FORGERY.
What the Washington state Bankers
Association Is Doinu.


While Ii Is not generally known, the
Washington State Bankers associa-
ton has a special committee of nine
members, whose names are kept Sc
cret so as not to hamper them in their
work, who are trying earnestly to pre-
vent the swindling of bankers and
others by forged checks, raised checks
and other means.
The work is along somewhat similar
lines to that of the National Bankers
association. At the recent meeting of
the executive committee at Seattle
the report of the committee was in
formally submitted.
That there is much of this crime
was shown by the report that during
1904 there were rs convictions secur.
ed in that state of such cases alone.
and this year there may be as many
more.
AS the committee is becoming more
familiar with the work, it is securing a
greater proportion of convictions in
the cases brought.
The committee does not appear pub.
licly in the matter at all. In every
case where it is learned that bank or
any bank patron has been swindled
by forged or raised checks or drafts
the committee makes every effort to
secure the arrest of the criminal by
the proper officials, and then gathers
the evidence together, irrespective of
the expense, and places it in the hands
of the prosecution. Every assistance
is given the officers of the law in the
apprehension and trial of the Grim
inal.
The policy of the association is to
make check raising and forging al
most certainly punished, to the end
that that branch of criminal industry
shall be wiped out in the state.
When such criminals learn that all
the bankers of the state are banded
together to prevent such crimes, or to
run down and punish the guilty ones,
when such tOrgeries occur, there will
be less attempts to thus defraud the
banks and their patrons.
The association has as yet made no
regular appropriation for the purpose,
but all the banks have voluntarily con-
tributed to a fund which is expended
for the purposes intended by the spe-
cial committee of nine.

SECRETARY HAY Is BETTER.
Is Now in Paris-He Must Take a
Iona Rest,

Long Rest.
Bad Nauheim.-Secretary Hay has
finished the course of baths here and
will meet Mrs. Hay in Paris. Pro-
fessor Groedel is quite satisfied with
the effects the taking of the baths has
had on Mr.. Hay. but he has advised
him to abstain from all official bust
ness for several months, such a course
being usually necessary after this
course of treatment. Secretary Hay
expects, therefore, to spend the sum-
mer at his country home and to re-
main there until the autumn.
Emperor William invited Mr.. Hay
to come to Wiesbaden and visit him,
but the secretary declined under the
advice of his physician. King Ed
ward also invited Mr.. Hay to an audi
ence, but this invitation also was de-
clined
During his visits to London and
Paris Secretary Hay will remain very
quiet, and will make no formal official
calls The call of King Leopold of
Belgium upon him Thursday took the
secretary completely by surprise, as
the visit was not announced before

speak again to that girl, will cut you
IF with a dollar"
For a moment an angry tide swept
across the face of the younger De
Lisle. When 1t passed, his face was a
trif1e paler than before, and his lips
were slightly compressed, but there
was hooking CLEAN of mischief In
his eyes as he answered:
Father, l shall marry Ellen yet, and
with your full permission"
The old man was more than ever en-
ragged, and his voice sounded hollow
and sepulchral, and every word he ut
tered was cut off with a pugilistic ges-
ture of his clinched fist.
when l give my consent to your
marriage with Ellen Hosmer l shall
be either an idiot or a lunatic, and
she shall be at once installed mistress
of De Lisle Hall"
Ralph De Lisle was not to be hood
winked by any pretty devices of the
young man or his mother. He follow
ed Herbert about the house like his
shadow. Mrs. De Lisle was vexed; her
son was angry.
"As old as | am" he muttered-
NEARLY thirty-to be followed about
like a baby that's in danger of tum-
bling into the fire."
ELLEN grew morbidly sensitive under
this constant espionage, and would run
away whenever she saw Herbert ap-
preaching.

else. So you see, have great conf
dence in you"
HIM muttered the young man,
and with a repetition of hts awkward
obeisance, he left she room.
Ralph de Lisle, through his wife,
supplied Ellen's purse handsomely for
the purchase Of her wedding trousseau,
but as she was to marry poor man
she preferred not to spend money so
foolishly, she said. So her bridal dress
was simply a white null, and very
sweet and pretty she looked, as with
her eyes cast down and her cheeks red
the great drawing room of De Lisle
Hall In the presence OF a very few
friends of her own and the family'S,
who were met to witness the marriage.
The bridegroom gave her loving
glances from under the inevitable
Ralph de Lisle by actually getting mar
ried In.
ITS the most outlandish thing l
ever heard of, and some one ought to
tell him." muttered old Ralph, as the
ceremony was about to be performed;
but II Mrs. De Lisle and Ellen can
stand 1t. I'm sure l can. But he don't
go to the table with that thing on his
head, IL have to knock it off with my
cane. I'll teach the ignoramus a little

The words were pronounced which
made Ellen Mrs. Somebody-old Ralph

lame might be as long as she was we'll
out Of the way of his son.
AS the little company were about
being led to the dining room to par
take Of the wedding dinner, Ralph
stepped up to the groom and said, as
politely as his rising choler would let
him:
You will obllge me, sir, and bestow
tritie more respect on your bride and

Ralph strangely.
In a trice the great, unsightly hat
was off, and the beard which had COM
pletely concealed the lower part Of the
quondam sailors face was gone, and
Ralph de Lisle looked into the provok-
ingly calm face of his son. Before the
old man, in his amazement and cha
grin, could utter word, Herbert had
taken him by the arm and drawn him
aside.
"Now, father" said he, with comical
gravity, don't say word that will
make it unpleasant for my wife in her
new capacity as my wife. You know
besides you know, that riches should

but he followed his sons advice, and
said nothing, and soon learned to listen
to his wife's oft-repeated rehearsal Of
the old adage, What can't be cured
must be endured" with something like
acQuiescence in the DEGREES OF Hymen.
In a short time he became more than
recOnciled to his sons choice, and when
he heard of the marriage of Isabel
Denver, he went so far as to say that
he actually felt sorry for her husband,
as Isabel was such a Tartar, and In
no way comparable to Ellen, his sons
