would see that he had got up In the
world since he left the old town. So the
manager gave pa about 400 free tickets

ranged for pa to show on as the leading
citizen in the show. He was offered a
chance to take the place Of the clown,

chariot with four horses abreast, in
place of the Irish Roman who was ac-
.customed to drive the chariot In the
race with the female charioteer, a mus
cular girl who used to clerk in livery
stable at Chicago.
The chariot race Is a fake. because II
Is arranged for the girl to win, so the

for the two chariots to start, and go

was a crash, and I didn't know any
thing until felt cold water on my face
that tasted sour, and colored my shirt
red, and i found the lemonade butcher
was bringing me to by pouring a tray
of lemonade over me.
When my eyes opened, saw a sight
that shall never forget. 1t seems that
when the horses fell down. the chariot
and the other two horses and pa and
had landed all In heap right on top
of the lemonade and peanut concession,
and carried 1t up onto row OF seats
near the main entrance from the
menagerie. The elephants that were
to come on next were In the door
waiting for their signal, and they
were scared at the crash, and
they came in believing, the keep
ers having lost all control of them.
The audience was stampeding, and the
circus men were trying to straighten
things out.
Pa struck on his head against wagon
wheel and his brass helmet was driven
down over his face. 80 when he yelled
to be pulled out Of the helmet his voice
sounded like coon song, coming from a
photograph. It was the closest call
from death pa ever had, cause they had
to cut the helmet with can opener
to let pa out, like you open

and she takes the pole. and on the third
turn the man is ahead, and they begin
TO whip the horses, who seem crazy, and
on the last stretch the man holds his
team back little, and the girl passes
him and comes out trifie ahead, and
the crowd goes wild.
Well, the master of ceremonies
coached pa about the business, and told
him what to do. They knew he could
drive four horses, because he said he
was an old stage driver, and when he
got In the chariot with the Roman suit
on cleaning with gold. and the brass
helmet, and the cloth OF gold gaunt-
lets, and stood up like senator, gee,
was proud Of him, and when he and the
female drove out of the dressing-room
and halted by the door for the announcer

race, got into the chariot behind pa,
and told him he must win the race. or
the people of Scranton would mob him.
For they knew these races were usually
fixed beforehand, but since he was to
drive one Of the teams. all his friends
were betting on him. and II he pulled the
team and let that livery stable lady win
the race, they would accuse him OF Civ
ing them free tickets to get them in the
show and skin them out Of their money.

PRETTY NI0HT-GoWNS.
A Very Long Shoulder and Very
Short Sleeve Is Now Consid-
cred the Thing.

AS has been fashionable for some time,
most OF the new night robes are made
very long on The shoulders, with Jokes
or yoke effects and sleeves reaching
half way to the elbow. Many Of the
sleeves are little more than rufties OF laco
or embroidery in appearance, but actual
ly they are shaped we'll in to the arm
toward the top. All well-pade night
gowns are shaped in very decidedly at
the waist line. Square, pointed and
round, slightly low necks are popular.
and are finished around the top with
fat insertion or frills through which
ribbon is run.
Shocking has taken the place of fine
tucks as supplementary decoration to
the lace and embroidery In many Ut
the new gowns. Rows of putting be-
popular mode of trimming, but neither
shocking nor putting launders SO well
as the fine tucks unless great care Is
used, and consequently the tucks will
continue to be more or less popular.
Beading is used somewhat sparingly ON
the new lingerie. More than one row of
ribbon Is rarely seen on the imported
garments, either the night robes or un-
derwear.
One of the handsomest of the Eight
robes recently seen in Paris was made
with very low, square neck with back
and front and mandarin sleeves fat at
the top and broadening toward the bot
tom. A perfectly fiat trimming Of gui-
pure was laid around the armhole, where
the sleeve Joined the gown. Six square
motifs of guipure trimmed the front OF
the gown. being put on In two rows on
either side the opening flap. Six of
these motifs decorated each sleeve, two
of them being placed on the two points of
the sleeves. Around the lower edge of
the sleeves was very broad and hand

The Best Guaranty of Merit
Is Open Publicity.

Every bottle OF DIR. Pierce's world
anne medicines leaving the great labo-
ratory at Buffalo, N. Y, has printed
upon its wrapper all the ingredients
entering into its composition. This fact
alone places DR.. Pierce's Family Medi-
cines in a class all by themselves. They
cannot be clasSed with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither. This
Is why so many unprecedented physicians
prescribe them and recommend them to
their patients. They know what they
are composed of, and that the ingredients
are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities.
The further fact that neither DIR.

great stomach tonic, liver inyigorator,
heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his
"Favorite Prescription for weak, over
worked, br~oken-down, nervous women,
contains any alcohol, also entities them
to . place all by themselves.
Many years ago, DR.. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, of proper
strength, is a better solvent and preserv-
alive of the medicinal principles resid-
ing in our indigenous, or native, medi-
cinal plants than Is alcohol; and, further
more, that IL possesses valuable medicinal
properties of its own, being demulcent,
nutritive, antiseptic, and a most efficient
antiferment.
Neither of the above medicines con.
tains alcohol, or any harmful, habit
forming drug, as win be seen from a
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and
potent to cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above, non-secret medicines largely, but
the most intelligent people employ them
people who would not think of using
the ordinary patent, or secret medicines.
Every Ingredient entering into the COM
position of DR.. Pierce's medicines has
the strongest Kind nf ON aplnrrn,,ap
from leading medical writers of the
several schools Of practice. No other
medicines put up for like purposes has
any such professional endorsement.

FOREST REGULATIONS AND GRAZ.
ING.

The bureau of forestry occupies q
peculiar position by reason of the fact
that 1t has been held by N federal
Judge that the exaction of a fee fol-
| grazing on a forest reservation is con
| stitutional, whereas another federal
Judge has taken directly the contrary
view. Under the circumstances the
bureau continues to insist upon pay
ment of the fee, uncertain of what the
ultimate outcome will be.
1t does not appear that any special
hardship is inflicted by exacting a fee
with which to meet the expense OF
maintaining the forest reservations, es'
| pecially if in CONSCIENCE of the enforce
( ment of the regulations better grazing
is maintained.
Gradually the forestry bureau and
the stock growers are reaching an un'
| Outstanding, and il is believed that in
time they will work together in perfect
harmony. Thus the interests of 10Th
the forest reservations and of the live
stock industry will be preserved. IL
should be so, for the forests are for
the benefit of the people, and the more
they can be used in ways consistent
with their preservation the better will
the object of maintaining them be at.
tanned.
This seems to be recognized by the
agents of the bureau, and hence they
no longer seem to occupy a position
of hostility to the livestock interests.
Preservation of the forests may well
mean preservation of the forest ranges
for grazing, and to this extent the res
ervations are clearly helpful to the
livestock as well as to the other in
terests of the far west.-Denver Repub-
lican.

formed, If the services were the equiv

pounded by the commission, they said,

that corporations could do indirectly
what they are prohibited from doing

We contract for a given advertise

price being 800, and the price just re-

the other, the result is precisely the
same
1t is not believed, the attorneys said,
that the commission intended either to
! restrict the right to contract or pre-
scribe the particular manner of per,
forming contracts; but, on the contrary
that the sole purpose of the commission
Is 10 scrutinize contracts and to see
that they are not merely devices or
subterfuges to evade the law.
The interstate commerce commission
did not reply to the letter of Mr.. Kret-
Finger and Mr.. Field, which was dated
october /. and President McDoel of

the passenger department to continue
making contracts with publishers of
newspapers and to issue transportation
in payment for equivalent advertising.

LAW To BE TESTED.

In all probability the first case under
the new rate bill &c be tried in the
supreme court will be taken up from
Illinois. The attorneys for the Monop
route are OF the opinion that the inter
state commission has no
power to say whether a person shall
pay a railroad in money or other repre-
sentative Of vale. The commission has
ruled hat newspapers cannot contract
with railroads for advertising, agreeing
to pay therefor in transportation, and
this action the road holds to be con
trary to the constitutional right of con,
tract. The attorneys put their case as
follows:
what the parties agreed shall CON
stitute the payment, the law will ad'
judge to be payment. 1t is competent
for parties to designate by their con
tracts how and in what payment may
be made. 1t is by nc means true that
payment can be only made in money;
on the contrary, it may be made in
property or in service"
The inhibition, they added, against
charging a greater or less or different
compensation" relates alone to a diff
ference in the established rate" and
not to the name Of making payment.
The evil which the act is intended to
remedy. 1t was urged, is that a rate
published should not mean one thing
to one man and another thing to an
other, and the law is intended to make
It plain that the published rate, in fact
as well as form, shall mean the same
thing to ali men. 1t would be imma-
terial, therefore, in the accomplishment
