CLOTHES
CLOTHES

Clothes are pieces of cloth so put to-
gether that they create an impression
varying inversely as the size of the
clothed. In other words, large male per-
sons wear striped effects to make them
appear thin, and abbreviated individuals
wear solid colors in vain endeavor to
seem large.
CLOTHES make the man" This is
true. They make him sad and cynical
If they are not paid for, and otherwise
If he has the receipt. Clothes are gen
orally made by tailors. Sometimes the
head of the family is forced to wear a
suit manufactured by his loving spouse.
This cures man of talking economy at
home.
People at the North Pole and other
summer resorts of like nature wear
sacks. Folks at the Equator don't wear
sacks. The latter state of affairs is
sad, because it shows very low order
of economic achievement. There is
that fine long Equator laying out there
that needs only two poles to convert it
into clOthesline-and no use for it.
Oh, 1t is sad.
Some people wear clothes because it is
the thing to do. Others, for protection.
Still others wear them because it affords
convenient means of carrying tobacco.
Adam and Eve began the custom of
wearing clothes, many years ago. Like
all great institutions, clothing had a
very small beginning; but now they nave
reached such perfection that we are con-

stantly overheated in summer, and in
winter we have pneumonia, bubOniC
plague and other ailments because we
are insufiiciently clad.
Some men have but one suit of clothes.
When the representative of the pressing
club comes around they have to stay in
bed. There is but one condition less de-
sirable than this, and that is to have no
suit.
Suits, like all Gaul, are divided into
three parts--pants, coat and vest. Pants
are the most important. You can be
seen in public without coat or vest,
but without pants-never. Sometimes
pants are called trousers. Like every
thing else, it is matter of money.
Trousers cost from $40 up; pants from
$40 down. Boys, and devotees of the
Scotch national game, wear knee pants.
In the latter case it is simply an en-
deavor to become boyish-and is highly
unsuccessful.
Some ladies would like to wear pants
and vote. The kind that have such as
pirations could do neither with any de-
gree of success.
Volumes could be written about vests,
but the demand for such literature is so
slight that the proceeds therefrom would
not clothe an ant--and you know how
little it takes to clothe an ant. [ wish
were an ant.
There are many other kinds of clothes
besides the varieties mentioned, but l

seemed to breathe with difficulty, and
leaned heavily upon chair. "Monseig-

"can you-forgive me? 1t is bitter

THE END.

The few factories in st. Petersburg
working by aid of scabs, are now pro-
tected by female outposts. The factory
owners, it seems, hired the scabs' wives
as well, and armed them to protect their
husbands and the factory property. They
carry revolvers and swords, and have au-
thority from the police to use them
against all interfering with the work.
AS consequence the Russian walking
delegates and strikers have very un-
happy time, for the women indulge in
no parley and shoot and stab at anybody
whom they suspect of interfering with
their bread and butter. Count Witte in
formed the police of other cities of the
innovation, and an Amazon army to pro-
tect scabs is forming in many parts of
Russia.

fell, and lay strewn on the floor behind
them. He opened the door, and the
lights shone on a multitude of eager
faces turned toward it. There was
great hum of voices, and, over all, the

French song of the voyageur.
He bowed very low, as, with fixed and

and went out of the room.
