THE BATHING GIRL.

Sweet Gilmore
Went TO the shore
With a bathing suit
Both gay and cute
Dear Gilmore!
She wore with ease
This suit TO the knees,
In the neck cut low
And trimmed with a bow
Sweet Gilmore.
with a smile 10 cheer
Did she appear
on the shore each day
With this suit so gay
Sly Gilmore.
Her foot she got wet
Not her suit. sou bet;
II might possibly shrink,
We'd blush to think
OF Gilmore!

 This effective costume is topped with a rather large hat, Princess Ena, to be precise, made of French felt and trimmed with one of the long plumes mentioned. In this case the plume shades from dark to light brown, with a showing of salmon color near the stem, which latter only discloses itself when my lady makes vigorous move ment with her head.
 To be used in place of the long and expensive ostrich plumes there are many cl1armingly made substitutes. Such, for example, as the ribbon plumes, which are nothing more nor less than loops of ribbon attached to a stem graduated and wired to suggest the plumes shape. These loops may be of bebe ribbon, silk or velvet, or they may be entirely of inch-wide velvet ribbon, but in any case, the loops are wired only a part of their length, then left to curl over. Properly made they are very graceful, and for evening wear those made of chiffon, tulle and gauge are really prettier than the os- trich feathers themselves.-New York Evening Post.

 During the civil war wyandotte county had gang of desperadoes known as Red Legs. After the war they continued to make their head quarters in the hollows along the Kaw and Missouri rivers and pillaged the little villages along their banks.
 There are few people now living in the county who ever heard of the Red Legs and fewer who remember them, but from 1861 to 1867 their name struck terror to every heart in the little vil- lage of Wyandotte,

 fWhen they had finished the search my grandfather was commanded to walk out of the house.
 Get on that horse,' one of them said to him.
 Grandfather, however, saw a chance to escape and he ran down the road. Just below the house an old elm tree had fallen across the road He leaped over this and the Red Legs lost sight of him. They fired several shots after him and then drove away"
 "The many raids of the Red Legs caused the people to take the law into their own hands. Tn 1866 a man sus- pected of being a member of the gang was hanged from the steps of the court house.

ARCHAIC METHODS IN DETROIT

|
 The song of the stubs is merry one and is sung from morn till night in the office of the water board, where the humble citizen comes to pay his water tax There are stubs, of every variety and for every purpose that could be conceived of by the man who expound- ed the system used in the water office. In no place in Detroit does it take a | longer time for man to separate hlm- self from his money than 1t does when he makes up his mind 10 pay his water l bill Busy clerks dash the ink over the stubs with every evidence of dispatch, 1 but, hurry as they will, the record time for paying a water bill is three min- utes, made long ago, when the system was new and the wheels well oiled.
 The usual length of time consumed in the office by the man in a hurry, who knows just where to go and what to do with each stub, is five minutes. People not familiar with the "system" take considerably longer, so that they may continue to have Q minute portion of the Detroit river at their command, night and day.
 Saturday afternoon, from three o'clock to half-past three, was not very busy. It takes just as long when there are only few people as when there are a great many-mlnus the time spent waiting to get a place at win dow where the stubs are prepared, Of course. 1t Is obvious that if the stubs could be prepared more speedily there would of necessity be less time spent in waiting.
 1 But the system calls for stubs, and the only way to dispense with the stubs would be to get a new system Going from the water office to the gas office is like getting out of Q stage coach and into an express train. The way they take in the money at the gas office is 8 beautiful sight to witness Four pretty, smiling girls do as much business in ten minutes as the twelve men at the water office do in thirty And it isn't the fault of the men, but o
 the stubs. One stub at the gas offlc
 does the work of all the stubs at tn, water office. Thirty seconds is slov
 time for the teller to reach out he
 hand for the bill and return the receipt
 The stream that passes before the win
 dow hardly ceases to move, so smooth
 ly does the system travel. There is lit tie device that tears off the stub, take
 care of it and receipts the bill. All tn teller does is to work change machin o,l co,, HTbau1y vaiI.
 The system employed at the wate
 office is cumbersome and archaic. I F may be thorough and accurate, but is a relic of the past, when a week
 hurry wasn't crowded into every twen q | ty-f6uT hours
 . A representative of some up-to-dat system ought to be able to do som business at the water office. A tip t the wise is suff1cient.-Detroit News
