HOWE ITS PROBLEMS AND INTERESTS
Abouf Putting Away Clothes

Clothes Will stamp your innate neat
ness.
The wealtnier women are immaculate
in this matter. and If they who can re-
pIenish at will take the best of care of
each part of their wardrobe II is far
more essential that those having but
few clothes should keep them in the
best condition.
Half the garments that look shabby
are not worn out, but are merely not
properly cared for.
II you hang it up when not in use or
fold it you probably do either badly.
To learn how to suspend garments to
the best advantage observe the way
shopkeepers handle them.
A supply of coathangers may be had
cheap. but remember that hanging does
only for heavy fabrics. Light garments
should be folded in order TO avoid string
mess.
Skirt bags are a luxury. but may be
made easily OF great square sacks OF
white cotton, longer than the skirts and
slipped over without crushing.
If one would supply fragrance and
in the center
freshness TO the skirt suspend a sachet
When taken off the skirt should be
brushed and the silk lining well wiped
with a dry cloth. Clothes should not be
hung around on chairs, but should be
disposed OF Immediately.
Shoes are preserved in shape and crack
and break far less if they have boot
trees for their protection. 1t is a matter
of economy to keep several pairs OF
shoes in use at cnce. When worn inter
mittently they do not have a chance
to dry out, and consequently become
rotten. and IL IS at the same time bet
ter for the feet TO experience n change
of shoe. OIL should be employed to re-
move soil. and water should never be
used. Slippers should be stuffed with
paper.

Happiesf Time of Girls Life.

There should be no happier time in a
girls life than the years from four
teen to twenty. She should have no
serious responsibilities during those
years. though she should not be permit
ted 10 give uP her time entirely to fri
vcii;y. She has much to learn. and her
character is usually IN such a formative
state that these years may be the
making or the marring OF her whole
lsfe. There can be no laying down OF
hard and fast rules for this age. In
dividuai needs must be considered al
ways, and solicitous parents must re-
member that something must be left
to the girl herself. and that too close
supervision is as DAD as too little There
l. no need to be discouraged over the
number of foolish fancies which the
girl will take up at this time. for they
are transitory, and in a few years she
will be the first TO laugh at them The
chief things are TO lay the fOunda ton
for q true, womanly character and
make her girlhood so happy that she
would be only too glad 10 live 1t over
again.

The principal ceremonies were held In a

WRECK OF A HORSE.
Owner Fined SIS for Working Him
CruellV

C. F. Wright. agent of the Humane So
ciety, brought down to the Police Court en-
trance this morning the most unique speci-
men of horse flesh and bones that the local
society has ever had to deal with. Around
the horse all the morning on the street was
a group of curious admirers of horses, and
their subject of conversation was whether
the animal before them resembling horse
was a horse, and whether this would-be
horse was worth $1.45 or s1.5O.
The animal was much smaller than the
ordinary horse. He looked as If he had
not even seen a handful of oats or a whisp
of hay for some months, until the time
had come when 1t was 1mmaterial to him
whether he got anything to eat or not. 1t
is doubtful If the horses mind could go
back so far over the ages as to remember
when he had been given nourishment, or If
1t could, the remembrance must be very
dim indeed. AS consequence, the horse is
so thin that he barely casts a dim shadow.
Except that he Is larger, the back of the
horse resembles that of q razor-back hog.
To ride the horse would be like riding the
rough edge of saw. In the place where
the legs ought to be are four sptndles cover
ed with hair.
IT think that would make a better hat
rack than a beast of burden" remarked
one bystander as he beheld the monstrosity.
This curio was found on E street near
14th street northwest on Saturday night.
He was attached to wagon In which were
two burly colored men weighing together
much more than the animal they had to
pull them. In the dark they had trouble In
finding the horse, but Humane Oficer
Wright discovered the animal and stopped
the men. He took the animal to his stable,
where the horses long fast was broken.
Sylvester Jones, one of the men, was
arrested, and he was brought into the Po-
lice Court this morning. He was arrafgned
on information charging him with working
a horse that was unfit for labor.
Agent Wright took the stand. saying:
That's the horse outside at the curb.
It's the worst sight in Washington today"
whats the matter with the horse?"
asked his honor.
II could bring every one in court on the
stand to tell what is the matter. He's got
a spawn on one leg, his teeth are so long
that he can't eat. and he will run close
rival to Methuselah for age" said the wit
ness.
How long have you had this horse" the
defendant was asked when he took the
stand.
II got him last November"

A New Story Of Lincoln,

1t Is not often that one can offer a new
story OF Abraham Lincoln, and this ono
may not be entirely new: but there IL
every reason to believe it genuine, because
1t comes from the family of the late Jere-
mdah 8. Black, the famous Pennsylvania
lawyer. who was Attorney General during
the latter part Of the Buchanan admins
tration and was associated with many i'm
portant events during the civil war period
The incident was related in letter writ
ten by him to his family in 1863:
While waiting for an audience at the
White House one day Judge Black studied
the attitude and demeanor Of Mr.. Lincoln
toward his callers, who represented all
sorts and conditions Of men and women,
including one woman Of great personal at
fractions, to whom the President showed
q gallantry that was unfamiliar to Judge
Black. Hence, the latter. when 1t came
to his turn to approach the presence, re-
marked:
II see that you are as fond Of q pretty
woman as the rest of u.s."

Lincoln's Ready Wit.

General Henderson Of Omaha says that
nothing can shake his belief that Lincoln
hlmseif is the author of the famous cpl
gram 1t Is true that you can fool all of
the people some Of the time, and some of
the people all of the time; but you can
rot fool all of the people all of the time"
lie says that this terse sentence bears the
earmarks of Lincoln's wit and wisdom so
clearly, and Is so nearly akin to other
utterances of that wonderful phrase-maker
that there can be very little doubt of its
authorship. 1t is intensely characteristics

for Its truth. I asked Representative Hit
about 1t at one time. He said he had an
lndistinct recollection of the occurrence,
and that many passages of wit between the
two great debaters were not recorded.
Douglas was speaking In his usual elo-
quent manner Lincoln passed across the
rear of the platform to get a package of
papers. The attention of the audience was
distracted from the speaker, who. irritated
by the fact, looked over his shoulder at
Lincoln and said:
AS 1 gaze on the lengthy and attenu-
ated form of my adversary 1 am tempted
to exclaim In the language OF Holy Writ:

'Of course, the audience was conyulsed
with amusement. Lincoln bided his time.
While he was talking Douglas passed across
the rear of the platform to get his over
coat. Lincoln looked over his shoulder at
the Little Giant and exclaimed in his inim-

claim, in the language of Holy Writ: 1.-The
