If dress suit cases had the gift of
speech, il is a foregone conclusion
that their first words would be, How
are the mighty fallen;" Time was
when man who entered a car with
q suit case was the object of respect
full attention from the other passen-
gers. Its possession was considered
ample proof that he belonged to the
fortunate class who changed their
clothes for dinner. The popular fancy
depicted him as flying from one scene
of festivity to another, and absolute
~ no doubt was felt as to the metal
OF which his natal spoon was made.
All this is now changed, and the man
with the suit case may be anything,
from a burglar escaping with his
"swag," to a meek little family man
bringing in his wife's white skirts to
be done up" by her favorte laundress.
Nor is the tale of degradation COM
pleted when the case has been reliev-
ed Of the skirt, for like as not the
thrifty dweller beyond the city limits
will undertake to do the local butch
er by bringing hime his meat in the
conservative looking bag when on his
return trip.-New York Evening Sun.

Up to His Old Tricks.

He had been a suburban real estate
boomer for a number of years, but having
been led to see the error of his ways he
proceeded to reform, after which he ac-
cepted a clerkship in a dry goods store.
But he couldn't quite forget his old
tricks.
The first day he was behind the coun-
ter lady came in to look at some dress
goods.
How much did you say there was in
this pieceT' she asked, pointing to one
she had selected.
Fifteen yards, madam" replied the
ex-boomer.
"Oh, but that is entirely too much"
she protested. AZ only need half that
quantity"
Madam" said the clerk, lapsing into
the familiar vernacular of his former
calling. Il am offering you a bargain,
and if you fail to secure control of the
entire property you will miss the oppor-
tunity of lifetime. You can cut the
tract up into town lots and realize 300
per cent on your investment inside of six
months, and"
Here he noticed the look of astonish-
ment on the lady's face, and it suddenly
occurred to him that he was not making
a real estate DEAL Then he apologized
and proceeded to make the sale accord
ing to the rules and regulations of the
Counter Jumpers Association.

FoREsHADOws COAL STRIKE.

Mitchell Gals on Anthracite Miners
to Formulate Demands.
President John Mitchell of the United
Mine Workers of America has announced
that the convention of mine workers of
the three anthracite distr3s at which
demands will be formulated to be pre-
scented to the anthracite coal companies
next spring will be held at Shamokin.
Pa, on Dec. II. The mine workers of
the three districts will shortly elect dele
gates to represent them at the meeting.
The decision to hold a convention to
formulate demands is similar to the ac-
ton taken before the great strike of 1902,
when a convention was held there to
draw up demands. The award of the
anthracite coal strike commission will ex-
pire March 81 next year.
President Mitchell has been in the
anthracite region for the last two months
holding meetings every day for the pur-
pose of strengthening the union. After
the 1902 strike there was a considerable
falling off in membership. As result
Of the campaign the miners leader is
waging many of those who dropped out
Of the organization are returning
Among the demands that the conven-
ton will probably formulate are an eight
hour workday for all classes of mine
workers, recognition of the union and q
yearly agreement with the coal com
panies similar to the one existing in some
of the bituminous coal fields of the mid
die West.

about year ago in the Pennsylvania
station at Jersey City and was seated
on a stool at the lunch counter, when

among other passengers was Secretary
Hay. Rushing in to the lunch counter,
he seated himself next to me and or
dered a sandwich and a cup of coffee.
On the other side of the Secretary was
a typical American, who had not the
slightest idea that his neighbor on the
left was the American premier. Mr..
Hays face was study Of amusement

Weddine-Clothes

The mother Of the new Crown
Princess Of Germany gave offense in
some quarters by ordering her daugh-
ter's trousseau from Paris instead of
Datronizing German industries. 1t is
not at all strange that motherly pride
should get the better of patriotism, and
should desire the girlish beauty to be
set of by dainty CONNECTIONS of French
taste. The princess is probably more
satisfied with her wedding outfit than
was her husbands great-grandmother
Victoria of England.
The story goes that when the eldest
daughter of Queen Victoria was be-
trothed to the Crown Prince Of Prus-
STA, she set about planning an exquisite
trousseau. Specially designed lace and
trimmings were ordered and beautiful
embroideries begun. 1t was to be a
wardrobe fit, indeed, for a princess.
But the royal mother was queen of
her household no less than of the Brit
ish nation. The dainty clothes were
not fashioned after her own ideas. Ev-
erything was countermanded, the cost
ly, fragile articles returned, the airy,
Frenchy fabrics rejected. A solid, SEN
sible and prosaic wardrobe was order
ed in its place, well made, and service
able enough to last lifetime.
1t is said that the princess, when
once out of sight of the royal and ma
ternal eye, had tie whole substantial
and ugly outfit packed securely away
and that she never wore one article OF
all that apparel.

The case which follows will be read
with great interest by all sufferers as it

yield to the remedies prescribed by the
physician employed. Mrs. Ida A. Col.
bath, who was the victim of the attack,
residing at No. 10 Winter street, New

"In June of 1908 was taken i'll with

sockets. was in a terrible plight and
suffered the most intense pain through

case was a very severe one. Under
his treatment, however, the inf1amma-
ton did not diminish and the pains
which shot through my body increased
III severity. After being two months un-
der his care, withoutany improvement,
dismissed him.
"Shortly after this, on the advice of O
friend, ] began to take DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, two at dose
three times a day. After the second box
had been used was surprised to notice
that the inflammation was going down

WIND AND RAIN DAMAGE CROPS
Benefit from Higher Temperature II
Offset by Heavy Storms.

Benefit from Higher Temperature II
Offset by Heavy Storms.
The weekly summary of crop condi.
tons issued by the weather bureau is as
follows:
Except in New England and the
northern part of the middle Atlantic
States, where the week ended Sept Is
Averaged considerably cooler than usual,
the temperature was above the normal
and generally favorable, the week being
decidedly warm over the greater part Of
the central valleys. gulf States and east
ern Rocky Mountain slope. Light to
heavy frosts occurred in the Rock2
Mountain regions and also in North Do
kota, the lake region, New England am
the northern portion of the middle At
lantic States, but they resulted in no
serious injury.
A marked feature of the week was the
excessive precipitation, accompanied in
places by high winds, in the lower Mis-
souri, valley, where much damage was
DONE especially in central and western
Missouri and eastern Kansas. Wet
weather also proved detrimental over a
large part of the middle Atlantic Slater
and in portions of the south Atlantic ana
east gulf districts. while drought con-
tinues over portions of Texas. Gener-
ally favorable weather prevailed in the
central gulf States. Tennessee and most
of the Ohio valley and middle Atlantic
States. Favorable weather also prevail
ed in California and showers relieved
drought conditions to greater or less
extent in Washington and Oregon.
While corn has experienced favorable
conditions over large part of the corn
belt, late corn in the upper Ohio and
Missouri valleys Is maturing slowly, and
the crop in the lower Missouri valley has
suffered seriously from excessive rains
and high winds, especially in Missouri
and Kansas. In the first mentioned State
a large part of the crop has been blown
down or badly lodged, much is under
water, and that in shock is beginning to
mold. Over the northern part of the
corn belt from two-thirds to three-fourths
of the crop is now safe from frost.
Notwithstanding frequent showers in
the spring wheat region, thrashins of
spring wheat has been general, shock
thrashing IN Minnesota being nearly
completed. Considerable smut is report
ed from the Dakotas.
In Illinois the weather during the
week was warm and cloudy. Local rains,
heavy in parts of central districts, very
light elsewhere; corn in excellent c0ndi-
ton and has made good progress toward
maturity, bulk assured in central and
south and early safe in north; pastures.
broom corn and COW peas excellent; pas
lures and apples deteriorating.
