This Little Pig Stayed at Home.

1t was formerly the custom of the
country folk to work out their taxes
by boarding the teacher, which meant
that from time to time he was sup
piled from various quarters with
food.
One day boy named Tim Moore
head breathlessly sought the teacher,
exclaiming:
"say, teacher, my pa wants to
know if you like pork"
Indeed I do, Tim,'' was the reply.
"Say to your father that there is
nothing in the way of meat that
like better than pork
Some time passed, and there was
no pork from Tins father, fact that
in no way surprised the teacher, for
the old man was known throughout
the county as tight proposition.
Nevertheless, one afternoon the
teacher took the boy aside and asked:
How about that pork, Tim, that
your father promised me?"
"Oh," answered Tim, ''the pig got
well. "-Harpers Weekly.

Blouse or Shirt Waist.

The plain or tailored shirt-waist Is
always in demand and this one is
adapted to all seasons of the year.
A great many women wear those Of
linen, Madras and the like during all
seasons, making no distinction be-
tween winter and summer, but fam
mel, silk, cashmere and all similar
materials are equally appropriate for
this model. It can be made with the
long or elbow sleeves, with the high
turnover collar or with the low roll
over one that some women prefer to
every other sort. There are quite
novel cuffs that are held by cuff but
tons, and the pleats at the shoulders
give the broad line essential to fash
ion.
The waist is made with fitted
lining, which can be used or omitted

The Passing of Courtroom oratory.

Inspiration is a lost art in the
courtroom. Nowadays no true law
yer advises, prepares documents or
tries case without careful prepar-
alton. Forensic oratory has passed
away. No longer does the crowd
gather in the county courthouse to
listen to and be moved by the wit,
pathos and eloquence of the advocate
as for hours or days he addresses the
jury. The courtroom may be filed,
but it is largely with the ubiquitous
reporters, many of whom are as des-
titute of tears as Sahara of water and
as callous to emotion as the num-
mied sleepers of Egypt. No longer
is it true that weeping men and
women with handkerchiefs to their
eyes are moved by the eloquence of
counsel. Time is pressing factor.
Facts rather than eloquence is the
demand.-D. G. Brewer, in Atlantic.

FOR DINNER

Nothing is more perplexing than
the daily answer to, the daily question
in most households, "What shall We
have for dinner?" In one household
where this dilemma frequently occur
red the husband proved equal to It's
solution. He said nothing, but for
a month kept note of the dinner menu,
as each was served in it's turn. AT
the end Of the month the list was
typewriter, pasted upon a piece of
cardboard and carried home to his
wife, to her surprise and relief. AS
every housekeeper knows, the ques-
ton is troublesome, because one does
not readily recall, at the moment
when it must be decided, the possibili-
ties of choice. This easily read list
was found to be most suggestive, and
its duplication is recommended to
other perplexed housekeepers.

to be highly commended.
The kimono is made with the yoke

Couture Ornaments.

The semi-precious stones and
pastes that initiate the diamond and
other jewels of first rank are having
their innings in barrettes, combs and
all sorts of fancy couture ornaments.
Unless a woman's fortune is known
to be ample her tiara, If she sports
one, is apt to be looked upon with
suspicion in these days when the
chemist has contrived to counterfeit
the real stones not only in appearance
but in identity of material Small or
naments of this class are better taste
than the too pronounced headdress,
which is apt to dwarf the wearer.
Pretty light feathers, marabou and
paradise, with jeweled arrangement
at their base, are the most becoming
couture dressings of the more ex-
pensive sort.

CARE OF UMBRELLAS.

Most people after using an umbrella
on wet day, even if they do carefully
dry them, regard any further process
as needless; but there are other means
of frightening their term of useful.
ness.
1t is at the joints that umbrellas
break first, and it is scarcely surpris-
ing, for they are never oiled, and yet
expected to work smoothly and re-
spond easily to the most-sudden act of
opening. To preserve an umbrella
and obtain the best possible use out
of it the joints should be carefully
oiled with paraffin Or kerosene oil, to
clean off any possible rust, just as in
the case of a bicycle. and then be
touched with lubricating oil to make
them work easily. Thus cared for,
the framework will last in excellent
order with ordinary use almost indef1-
nitely.

Mo- More Long Gloves to Buy.

There is every indication that the
reign of the elbow sleeve is drawing
to a close. The sleeves on the new
gowns are short, but come well be-
low the elbow, and the close-fitting
cuff of tucked chiffon and lace length
ems them still more. The fashion
has been so exaggerated and carica-
tured that it has entirely lost any
smart effect, excepting in some elab-
crate gown with which elbow sleeves
are appropriate. For midsummer
and in the thin fabrics the fashion
will revive to a certain extent, but
fortunately its popularity has proved
its own undoing, and ere long it will
be numbered as past fashion.

The trade territory of town
can be pretty accurately measur-
ed by the enterprise of it's bust
ness men. Live tradesmen reach
far out beyond the natural ter
ritory of a community and make
expenses and a snug profit in
fields neglected by neighboring
competitors. The day has passed
when a profitable business will
come to a merchant who lacks in
inclination or ability to let the
public know that he is anxious
for trade and has bargains to
offer. Did you ever consider the
enormous amount of business a
town acquires by extending it's
trade territory one mile in each
direction? It's hospitality and
entertainment will do much to
accomplish this end, but the main
thing is honest marks, reasonable
prices and liberal advertising.
In some manner the public
must be apprised that its
presence is desired, it's dollars
appreciated. People will travel
extra miles to be met with a
smile and feel confident they are
getting a square deal on what
they buy and sell, and they are
not averse to being enlightened
to the place where snch conditions
exist. -Genesee News.

chise, but if the town puts up a
bonus of $4,000 to the company
at the start, making its stock
worth $3.50 on the $500, it should
not want the world with a fence
around it besides. The difficulty
should be adjusted at once and
work started on the plant at as
early a date as possible. We
may be wrong but it seems to US
if the town wants to purchase
and make the plant a municipal
one in ten or fifteen years hence,
and pay fair price for it, by
that time the stockholders will
have received enough from it in
the way Of dividends, reduction
of insurance and safety to prop
erty to more than pay interest on
their investment. At any rate,
let's settle the matter and get to
work. We want that water yet

1t only shows that the evidence

The evidence introduced showed
both the mine owners and the

laws in many instances and while
the charge of conspiracy was not
proven completely it was not dis

A mans life is full of crosses
and temptation; says and ex-
change. He comes into this
world without his consent, and
he goes out against his will, and
the trip between the two is ex-
ceedingly rocky. The rule of con-
traries is one of the features of
the trip. When he is little the
big girls kiss him; when he is
grown, the little girls kiss him.
If he is poor, he is a bad manag-
er; if he is rich he is dishonest.
If he needs cerdit he can't get
it, if he is prosperous every one
wants to do him a favor. If he
is in politics, it's for the pie; if
he's out of politics you can't find
a place for him, and he is no good
to his country. If he doesn't
give to charity he's a stingy cuss,
aud if he does it's for show. If
he'a actually religious he's a
hypOcrite; if he takes no interest
in religion he is a hardened sinner.
If he gives affection he is a
specimen. If he seems to care
for no one he is cold blooded. If.
he dies young there was a great
future before him, it he lives to
an old age he has missed his
calling. The road is rocky but
man loves to travel it.

H. F. Mallon, convicted from
Shoshone county of burglary and
sentenced to two years in the
state penitentiary, escaped Mon
day afternoon from the stone
quarry back of the prison. This
is the second escape within ten
days and it looks much as if all a
convict had to do was to walk
away from the pen at his
pleasure. There is no use in
sending men to prison for crimes
committed if the prison authori-

them safely confined.
