SHE SAVED A FORTUNE.
Wife of Marinette Shoemaker Pro-
duces $1,000.

Wife OF Marinette Shoemaker Pro-
duces $1,000.
William Hessel, Marinette shoemaker,
was astounded the other night when he
was about to borrow money to buy some
property, to find that his wife had saved,
unknown to him, over 81 900, which She
produced. They paid cash for the real
estate. Hessel had negotiated for some
property that was being sold at sher-
ifs sale, for $780, and had arranged to
borrow enough money to pay for it. At
ter the sale, he was about TO pay over
his deposit when his wife who accompan-
led him, began to unroll various bundles
and packages she had slowed about her.
The woman produced 200 silver dollars
from several soiled handkerchiefs, and
then a still larger sum in gold pieces
from a roll of cloth and various sums in
ragged paper money and small silver
pieces from various places of her dress.
The husband almost tainted at the sight
of so much unexpected wealth and the
wife smiled with satisfaction as she hand
ed the money over to her spouse and saw
him make a cash payment for their new
home. It is said the woman had saved
the money in less than ten years, entirely
from the small allowance given her for
household and farm expenses.

Living in Paris.

An apartment should be seen on
sunny day before engaging, and it is
not legally secured until papers are
signed. The lease Is on q quarterly
basis. Payments are made in advance
the 10th Of January, April, June and
October and occupancy given up to
these dates. But when intending to
leave the tenant should give his three
months notice before the first day Of
these months. Failure to do this and
neglect Of the governmental tribute of
a stamped paper hold him to a further
three months liability, as many a rue
full American can witness. To avoid
this it is merely needful to buy a
stamped sheet of paper for 8 cents Of
the tobacconist, legal vender of all
stamps, write the notice thereon and
give 1t to the landlord personally or
send it to him by registered letter. The
concierge, although he collects the rent
and has full charge Of the house, is
neither authorized to let the apart
ment nor to receive notices. In the
paper signed by tenant and landlord
the former guarantees to return the
apartment In good condition, and if 1t
Is freshly papered, painted and waxed
there will doubtless be something to
pay on leaving, but care and economy
in nail holes make the damages slight

Value of Grooming.

Nothing so accentuates fading love
illness as carelessness of dress. 1t is
wonderful what a little careful groom
ing will do for a woman. Let her
touch her eyebrows with vaseline to
bring out the luster, let her battle her
lips with aromatic toilet water, dust
her wan cheeks with bit of pink pow
der, have her hair dressed in a girlish,
dainty way, and 10! there is the light
of inspiration and sweetness that is
most delightful and bewitchfng. There
are good and bad cosmetics, sane and
insane ways Of identifying. Choose
the right road, then go ahead, and you
will be amazed to find how you will
chop off a year Of your life every
twelve months, instead of hitching one
on. Try it.

Mnu the New Girl.

The new girl has quite eclipsed the
now woman. She is almost as real rs
nature herself. and she leaves not the
slightest doubt that she intends TO be
per.nnneut. The new girl Is taking
command o. almost everything and ev-
ervbody. 1t is some years since she
s,1biugared her parents. and, having
aiken that decisive step. there are
really no obstacles Ia her path. In
days past women rsed TO gain in force
of will as they advanced in years. and
their life was an exquisite crescendo.
The new girl, on the other hand, has
begun life fortissimo, both fists on the
piano, and so she must beat it out or
be vanquished in the attempt.

STATE RUNNING BEHIND.
Paying Out More Money than 1t Is
Getting In-State Tax Coming.

Paying Out More Money than 1t Is
Getting In-State Tax Coming.
According to a statement issued by
State Treasurer Dahl, the State has been
running behind in it's accounts during the
past year. The total receipts for the
fiscal year ending July 1, were So, 459, $40,
and the total expenditures $9,S3S, 987.
The balance at the beginning Of the fiscal
year was $1,65S,924. At the end of the
year this balance had been reduced to
$1,279,5S6. The general fund out of
which the running expenses of the State
and many special appropriations are paid
shows total receipts amounting to 3d.,
1894 and total disbursements of S.
634, $50, reducing the balance from ST.,
225,992 at the beginning of the year to
$713,680 at the end of the year. The con-
dition of the finances of the State in view
of the many large appropriations made
by the Legislature this session make it
practically certain that there will be
considerable State tax levied this year.
This is largely due to the fact that one
half the school tax was RENTED last year
in addition to the entire State tax.

Point for the Traveller.

An excellent suggestion is that made
by a woman to take down the number
of q railroad ticket when travelling. If
1T is lost or the conductor on a certain
division takes it up by mistake there is
good proof that the ticket was bought.
An incident occurred which proves the
value Of the suggestion. The cOnduc-
tor on one division took up a wOman's
ticket. and on the next division the
ticket was demanded. She explained
the situation and was able to give the
number of the ticket. The conductor
telegraphed back and verified the
claim, thus sparing the traveller much
trouble and inconvenience.

POLYGAMY ON THE DECLINE.
PAuraI Marriages Discouraged at a
Recent Mormon Catherine

PAuraI Marriages Discouraged at a
Recent Mormon Gathering.
Perhaps the long agitation over the
case of Senator Reed Smoot of Utah
had something to do with it, but at
all events it is interesting to note that
the attitude of the Mormon Church to-
ward polygamy was formally declared
at the recent annual conference Of the
Mormons in Salt Lake City. This was
not gathering of the Reorganized
Church Of Latter-Day Saints, which is
minor body Of about $4,000 members,
but of the original Utah Mormons, who
number more than 100000 and of whom
Senator Smoot is one. Therefore, the
address setting forth the Mormon dec
laration of principles, which was sign
ed by the first presidency of the Nor
mon Church, read to the conference by
Apostle Orson f. Whitney of Salt Lake
and adopted by a rising vote, may be
assumed to be, in so far as it refers to
the subject, an authoritative assertion
of the attitude of Mormonism to-day
toward polygamous marriages.
After referring to the fact that po-
lygamy was published to the world as
doctrine of the Mormon Church in
1852 and forbidden by act of Congress
ten years later the address says:
1.-The Mormon people bow in submits
sion to the laws enacted against plural
marriages. When statehood for Utah
hnca mo q y1oocihiIifxy 90 oo0ditio,, fbat
her constitution provide by ordinance,
1rrevocable without the consent Of the
United States, that plural marriages
should be forever prohibited, the Nor
mon people accepted the condition by
voting for adoption of the constitU-
ton. Since that time the church has
been true to it's pledge respecting the
abandonment Of the practice of plural
marriages. II it be urged that there
have been instances of violation Of the
antipolygamy laws the answer is that
in every state and nation there are in
dividuals who violate laws in spite of
all the vigilance that can be exercised
but it does not follow that the integ-
rity of a community or state is de-
stroyed because of such Individual
transgressions."
Figures are then onered to show the
law-abiding disposition of the Mormon
Church. 1t Is said to be matter of
record that when the antipolgamy man.
ifeSto was issued in 1890 there were
2,451 plural families among the Nor
mons. BY 1899 this number had been
reduced to 1913 and by 1903 to 897
Although no later figures are given, it
is asserted that there has been a fur
ther material reduction in the number
of plural families. The suspicious may
wonder at the omission of definite sta
tiStics of recent date but, accepting as
authentic the figures given and the
facts stated, it seems that if the Nor
mon Church is still teaching and prac-
ticing polygamy, as was alleged in the
Smoot inquiry, the propaganda Is max
ing poor Roadway without open sane
ton and, indeed, against official dis
approval publicly expressed. Senator
Smoot, by the way, is referred to in
accounts OF the conference as among
the dignitaries present. at the open
ing session.

MOSES II. AT LADYs1IITR.

Farmer with His Rod SmOte the
Rock and Water Gushed Forth.
J. NJ. French of Main Greek had an
exciting experience. He was digging a
well for Chris Johnson, a neighbor.
When down thirty-fve feet he found the
earth so hard and the digging so difficult,
he resolved to use dynamite to loose the
''hardpan." In preparing to use the ex-
plosive he employed an iron bar with
which to make hole in the bottom of
the well, wherein he intended to insert
the stick of dynamite. At the last stroke
OF the bar it struck a stone and imme-
diately a stream of water began to spout
through the hole. 1t came through so
rapidly and with such force that Mr..
French became frightened and he yelled
loudly for help, but it was some minutes
before his sons, who had let him down
into the we'll with a windlass, heard him
and answered his cries of fright, and
by the time they reached the windlass
the water had risen to their fathers hips.
Within a few minutes time there were
fifteen feet of water in the well.

To Shrink Wash Goods.

All washable fabrics should always
undergo a thorough shrinking before
they are cut. This is absolutely nee
essary, as a first laundering would be
likely to reduce the dress of which the
material was not shrunk beforehand to
such dimensions that it would be >un-
fit for further use To shrink wash
fabrics, they should be immersed in
hot water and hung up to dry with
out wringing them. When the mate
rails are partly dry, they are carefully
pressed under a cloth to prevent their
becoming glossy on one side.

When Love Has Gone.

The wife whose husband has grown
weary of her has a difficult problem,
says Dorothy Dix, in the Philadelphia
Bulletin. She can not ruthlessly cut
the marriage tie and give the man
his liberty. Still, her best policy also
is to let her husband have free rein
and a long rein. Nothing is to be
gained by tears and reproaches, and
s always throwing up to the recreant
spouse his sacred duty.
Doubtless it is our duty to love the
one to whom we are married and whom
we swore so glibly at the altar always
to love and cherish, but love is not a
matter of duty or volition, or even of
determination. Love is slain Of a
thousand things beyond our control-by
growth, for one thing; by a man de
Yeloping away from his wife; by en-
forced absence; by simple boredom; by
things that the man cannot help in
his taste and feelings, and that the
woman cannot remedy in herself.
1t is one of the terrible experiences
of life when two people find them
selves involved in a marriage that is
nothing but bondage on the mans side,
while the woman still loves, but there
is no overt act that she can perform
that will bring back the love that is
dead. She can only wait, and so
strange is the curious bond of we'd
lock, so mystic is the tie, that the very
letters at which the man frets are
still powerful enough to draw him back
almost in spite of himself. The very
fact that a woman is his wife, whether
ne loves her or not, gives her a pres
fige in his eyes, a certain power and
influence over him that no other wo-
man possesses.
So the woman who has the patience
60 simply wait for her own to return
to her nearly always gets it back in
the end. And sometimes it is worth
waiting and praying for, and sometimes
not. But all that she can do is just to
wait

Outlay at Royal Birth and Baptism.
The French are curious to know
whether the King of SPANS expendi-
ture on the birth and baptism of the
Prince Of Asturias will equal Napo-
leon ITS outlay on the infant Prince
Imperial. The accounts In that case
were discovered when the Tuileries
were invaded by the mob in 1871, and
have been published. The total sum
disbursed was nearly $4,000. The
fees OF the physicians amounted to
f2,4S0, and the midwife was paid
f240. The layette cost $4,000. The
sum Of $4,000 was distributed among
the parents of children born on the
same day as the prince. Free theatri-
cal performances account for E1,640 ;
and donations Of E400 were sent to
each of a number Of literary and ar
tistic societies, including the Societies

Michael KIeist Is ReappOinted AS.

Michael Kleist, assistant game warden
in Kenosha, was reappointed because he
had been kissed by millionaire's daagh-
ter. Twenty deputies were to be drop
ped, and Kleist feared he would be one
of the number. Kleist arrested e. j.
Richardson, a st. Louis millionaire, a
year ago, for illegal fishing, but when
he got to court he was so moved by the
plea of Richardson's daughter that he
asked that the minimum fine be imposed.
This was done and Miss Richardson
thereupon bestowed the kiss. The game
warden's letter said there weren't many
good-looking men in the department and
that one who was attractive enough to
get that kiss should be retained.

Hints for Young Married People.
Try to be satisfied to commence on
a small scale.
Try not to make the mistake that
so many do, of trying to begin where
the parents left off.
Try being perfectly independent from
debts from the first. They are a great
drawback to the newly welded.
Try buying all that is necessary to
work with skillfully.
Let ornamentation follow slowly if
needs be.
Husbands, try to remember that sim

treat her as though you owned her

The wasp waist supplies a topic OF
conversation every spring. An author
ity on dress says American girls who,
though far from being on the high
road to obesity, insist on nipping their
waist in, achieve exactly the opposite
effect from that they seek. 1t is not
only fostering a dangerous practice,
but it actually detracts from a wo-
mans appearance, and, strange as 1t
may sound, even increases the aspect
Of embonpoint, she asserts.

should be worn should meet with such
golden opinions.
