where Beecraer Got His Sermons.


Wherever be went Beecher continued
his study Of life through observation.
Nothing else was half so interesting.
To him man was the greatest study in
the world. TO read human nature, to
place the right values upon men, to
emphasize the right thing in them, to
be able to discriminate between the
genuine and the false, to be able to
pierce their masks and read the real
man or woman behind them, was an
accomplishment which he regarded as
one of clergyman's greatest weapons.
Like Professor Agassiz, who could
see wonders in the scale Of q fish or q
grain Of sand, Beecher also had an eye
like the glass Of microscope, which
reveals marvels of beauty in the dross
and common things 1t had magni-
flying power which sees the miraculous
and beautiful in the commonplace. He
could see beauty and harmony where
others only saw ugliness and discord,
because he read the hidden meaning in
things. Like Ruskin, he could see the
marvellous philosophy, the Divine plan,
in the lowliest object. He could feel
the Divine presence in all created
things. Orison SWEET Marden In Sue

cular skirt. A few skirts have side
insets of plated goods set about half
way down. They are pretty, but the
mode will not last long, for the trend
is decidedly in favor of the full gath
cred skirt. Every possible kind of
coat is seen in the new output, but a
very dressy one is shown in the illus
tration, and it is happy medium.
The coat opens over plain self vest
and has revers Of white velvet, with
lace around the opening. The vest is
v shape, and the coat is much like a
mans cutaway This is favorite
plan.
BroadcIoth, mohairs in their various
qualities, covert and serges are all en-
ployed in the tailored suits. silk is
often seen Also particularly black silk
ii the crisp varieties. Separate waists
are made of these silks as well, and the
most Of them have tailor finish, but
blouse effects are not left behind, and
one finds beautiful waists Of messaline
and chiffon taffeta, grapes and radi-
inns, trimmed richly with Irish lace
and in fact all the better sorts of lace.

COLD WEAT n FASHIONS.


Fabrics THAT Exclude Wintry Blasts
and Skins That Harbor Warmth.
Now is the hour Of the boa and the
fancy neck piece Of fur, and fs one
sees the display Of such articles one
wonders why women cannot wear them
forever, they are SO pretty and 50 COM
Portable looking.
There are what are called throws
with big pillow NUTS to match These
throws nearly all have the rounded
ends shaped like beaver tails. Many
stole effects are seen In all sorts Of the
closer furs, while the deep fued ones
are made into immensely long and
fluffy boas. Bear and some of the finest
of the mixed fox skins are employed
for these. Royal ermine neck throws,
with pillow or princess muffs, are ex-
tremelv handsome and particularly
adapted to the young. Black lynx is
rich and very becoming, Caracal sets
are much liked by those Of quiet taste.
In crayats, which are considerably
smaller than the throws, are er1nine,
mink, chinchilla, Persian lamb, skunk
or Alaska sable, pine marten and many
others. Seal is rarely seen in these
smaller garments because it is SO very
expensive this year For children and
ordinary use there are dozens of less
expensive furs, but they are SO well
prepared that it is difficult to trace the
relationship to poor tabby or Fido.
Many long coats Of broadcloth, crave
nette and otIier wooden materials are
lined with squirrel, with collars Of
mink and either a muff or deep cuffs
of it. But the long and laEse boas Of
black bear and ignobIe but beautiful
skunk are the SWEETEST Of them all.

Abduction
BY EPEs W. SARGENT


Atherton gasped as the porter care
fully assisted a young woman to de-
scend the parlor car steps. He had al
ways been told that Grace Bedding was
a rayishing beauty, but he had grown
accustomed to Mabel's exaggerations.
This girl was one In a thousand.
He glanced down the long train. No
one else was leaving from the parlor
cars, SO this must be she. With barred
head he approached the girl.

way of explanation, Il am Arthur
None other she assured him bright

For moment Atherton was non
Pulsed. 1t had been something of a
liberty not to have addressed her as
Miss Bedding in spite Of the fact that
she was his sisters dearest chum. But
she had always spoken Of him in her
letters to Mabel as Arthur, and he had
unconsciously fallen into the habit OF
calling her Grace.
This ready acceptance of the situa-
ton and the proffered kiss were rather
a surprise, but he decided that western
girls, with their freedom from con-
vention, were the right sort after all.

was but the matter of moment to
get her trunk from the baggage room
and rope it behind the seat of the
blackboard. She was standing regard

The twenty-player team of the Columbia

the CheVy Chase players had won eleven
out OF twenty matches, making the score

much interest, as the competition is being
conducted for a cup which will be mr.

noon.
The match between Dr. Lee Harlan and

MUCH INTEREST MANIFESTED.
Three Clubs Pretty Evenly Matched
in the Suburban League.

The base ball season In Prince George
county. Md, has opened In earnest. and
more interest in the national sport is being
taken this year than in any previous sea-
son. The games already played In the Sub
urban League have demonstrated the fact
that three of the clubs-Laurel Berwyn
and Hyattsville-are about evenly matched
and Will have hard fight to the finish.
The rule prohibiting the playing Of outside
men in any of the games has served TO in
tensffy local interest and several hundred
persons usually attend the contests Brent
wood has not displayed the form that was
expected at the opening of the season, but
it is understood that Manager Cornell has
several promising players in view with
which to strengthen his club.
The Berwyn team has a quartet of hard
hitters in Barnes, Brown, McGregor and
Burch, and McGregor is one OF the best
fingers in the league. Hyattsvllle has Il
bunch of players, any one of whom Is apt TO
make the opposing twirler make for the
tall timbers at any stage of the game. In
the first three games played they banged
the ball for thirtynine safe ones but lost
the first game because they played miser-
able ball in the field and virtually made
Berwyn a present of the game. Laurel has
a team of hustling playeds. Fulton at third
Stockman at shortstop and Cassard at the
initial sack being hard TO beat. They have
not as yet shown any great hitting quail
ties. although last year they led the league
in this regard.

KELLY DEFEATED REENIE.
Consolation in the Middle States At
lantic Tennis Tourney

Another surprise was sprung at the
Bachelor lawn tennis courts yesterday af-
ternoon when G.. w. Kelly defeated E
Moses Reenie in the consolation series of
the middle Atlantic tennis tournament, by
the score of CO. 6-3.
Both men were in the best shape and It
was contrary to expectations that Kelly
should have such an easy time with Reente
Tor 1t was generally understood that Reenie
with his style Of playing, would tire Kelly
before the first set had been played Kelly
started in by serving the ball close to the
net ana setting such fast pace over the
court that 1t was hard for Reenie to keep
up.
In the second set Kelly eased I'D on his
style of playing and gave his opponent
chance He employed different tactics In
this session, making good use of lofting
several times placing the ball Just at the
line when Reenie was playing close to the
courts.
The doubles between Glazebrook and
Davidson and Doyle and Doyle which were
to have been played yesterday afternoon,
have been postponed until tomorrow This
Will probably be one of the best games seen
here this season. Both pairs are In fine
shape and both confident Of success If the
Doyle brothers win, they will hold the single
and double championship for the middle
Atlantic.
