Sacrificing Himself for Information

voters of Cape Elizabeth two names
were presented for moderator, Harry 5.
Jones and Clement +. Staples, Republi-
can and Citizen, respectively. The ora
tor who nominated Mr.. Staples made
a mighty effort in eloquence.
who is Clement F. Staples?" he cried,
as he waved his arms like pump
handles and strobe back and forth on
the platform. He was evidently work
ing up to the effective point
A deep and impressive silence fol-
lowed Again waving his arms he called
in voice of thunder: WHO is Clement
F. Staples?"
The silence was more pronounced and
the effect greater The audience was
visbly impressed. Before attempting
to dwell upon the good quality of his
candidate, the speaker again proclaimed
in voice that carried to every part
of the large hall Il say, who is Clement
E. Staples?"
A small man in the rear of the hall
stood up on chair and broke the silence
by saying: WAL, I'll bite. Who is
he?"

Very well, here goes. then" said the
revenue man, and he started. He shov.
eled away till he got pretty black, ant
then he gave up and sent ashore for Z
couple of men. They came and shov.
eled, and between them they bunged ut
the stoke hole with coal, and the reei
of tobacco grew stronger. Then nigh
fell, and the revenue man stayed his
hand till the morrow
Next morning he turned UP afresl
with more helpers, and they hove Goa
about all day, ont of the stoke hole or
to the deck in bags and buckets. The
Rathcoole grew black all over, as ships
in the agonies of coaling always do, and
finally, as evening fell again, the revenue
crew fetched up on the bottom of the
bunkers, which were damp with sticky
liquid that reeked abonrinally of stale
tobacco Then said the revenue officer
to Billy, who was calmly cycling the fin
ishing touches. What on earth, or the
waters under the earth, is this liquor
and why, in heavens name, does it smell
of nicotine this way?"
"Oh, that replied Billy, that's an
idea Mckay picked UP in New Orleans
for a coal saver. You just buy tobacco
sweepings, boil 'em down, pour liquor
over your coal, and there you are. See
the way it's saved our coal this trip y
Then why in he'll didn't you tell me
that before?" frantically demanded the
revenue man.
Because you asked me whether had
tobacco aboard, which had not, and you
swore had. Anyhow, you never asked
where the smell came FROM" asserted
Billy "And now," he continued, you'll
kindly put that coal back and clean my
ship afterward"
And, reluctantly, that revenue officer
set his men to work, and they put the
coal back, cleaned the ship to Billys sat
isfacton. and departed woefully. Ther

FADS AND FANCIES.

Shirt waist dresses have come to oc-
cupy niche all their own in the affec-
tionS of womankind, and are worn more
than ever by good dressers this year.
| They fill a distinct need, whether de-
signed for the woman who likes to take
her morning walks abroad, or for the
dame who desires dressy frock for
afternoons. This adaptabiity to the vari.
ous needs of dress makes them prime IA
vorites and part OF every woman $
wardrobe
The season is really remarkable for the
wide variety of designs in these charm
ingly useful costumes, and fashion has
been exceptionally generous in the wide
range of suitable materials she offers for
their development.
The many exquisite silks seen in the
shops are fairly dazzling to feminine.
eyes. Never have the beautiful produc-
tions of the loom been shown in such
fascinating and adorable color poems
lowered, embroidered, polka dotted,
checked and striped, with quaint shadow
and cloud effects in tinted sea shell or
self colors.
Foulards are again to the fore and
are worn everywhere by modish dressers.
Needless to say, they are most popular
for shirt waist suits. A very pretty and
effective imitation of these polka dotted
foulards comes in the soft cotton batis,es
with silky, mercerized finish. Many
pretty afternoon frocks are made OF the
finely checked cotton voiles in delicate
tints of pink and white or pale blue and
white.
Plain colors in taffctas and Rajah silks
and in lawns or chambrays are very
much worn. Treated in lingerie fashion
with edgings and medallions on the
waist and insertions on the skirt. the
shirt waist frock is dressy enough for
any occasion Tuckings and plaitingS
are the favorite ornamentation for gen
cral wear
