Vincent and the vehicIes.

Freight conductors. upon starting
out on their runs, leave with the tel
egraph operator list of cars in their
trains. This list shows the destina.
ton OF all cars and the contents of
loaded equipment" said T. J. Carey, a
Kansas City railroad man. THE list
Is called consist or 'sist,' for short.
'Vick' Vincent was conductor on one
of the preferred runs when l was dis
patching on the Pacific. Vick's weak
spot was spelling. One day his con.
sist' contained one item which the op.
orator insisted was 4 Veikles Pueblo" ."
When the train arrived and Wick
came in to register. l bantered him
about 1t, and. pointing to the word.
asked what 1t meant.
"'What does 1t mean?" he queried.
Sure 1t must mean what 1t says.
One vehicles. Pueblo!'
That's a new way to spell We.
hicles. Vick.' said /.
Well" he returned. II that don't
spell vehicles what in thunder does 1t

q woman to buy one that costs less
than Sc. for while cheaper ones may
look quite as good the quality Of the
material cannot be such that the gar

Buy soft silk in preference to Q

BE sure there is good quality oi
material In petticoat beore purchas

feel. at least persons familiar with
silks know as soon as they touch the
material whether or not 1t Is good.

Cultivate in yourselves high ideal

who have been honorable and true,
and who have worn the white flower
OF blameless life through all their
career. One of these days you will be

to scorn all that is base, and live
splendidly for all that is fine and

as usual that the Clever woman" was
nothing If not original. The room was
literally full to overfiowing with boxes
of all sizes and descriptions. There
were a number of sewing tables, tubes
of library paste and numerous rolls of
crepe tissue paper of holly and poin-
setts design. Then there was plain
red crepe paper and white, scarlet rib
bon and all sorts of Christmas stick
ers" or seals. This was the idea as
outlined by the hostess: Last year."
she said, Il received a number of
dainty Christmas gifts. a plate, home
made candy, handkerchiefs, etc., and
they were done up in the most attrac-
tive boxes. On pricing them, found
the cost almost doubled the original
sum expended on the gifts, so l hit

l hate to do anything alone, l asked
you all to help me and to each make
one or two boxes for your own use"
And that accounts why the clever
woman has fairly haunted the dry
goods stores for empty boxes, why the
man of the house has appeared with
his arms laden with bumptious pack
ages, and why there has been a corner
in the market on Christmas papers"
said the little neighbor from over the
way. At half after four, I wish you
could have seen the array Of really
beautiful boxes; some were covered
with plain red paper, the little seals
being used for border or in a decora-
tive conventional design. One lady
said she hadn't had SO much fun since
she went to kindergarten. There
seems to be fascination about cut
ting and pasting paper that charms
not only children, but grown-ups as
well.

each guest has the right hand secure

THE DALLAS FAX.

ION Saturday, October 10Th, the
gates of the Texas State Fair at
Dallas will swing inward, Cover
nor Campbell will deliver an adj
dress in the auditorium at 10 a. m.
then touch a button and the vast
machinery of this great Texas en-
terprise will be IN motion for six
teen days to come.
This will be the twenty-second
annual fair, exposition, and race
meet, and ali indications point to a
cord-breaking meeting. There
will be 1000 head of exhibition
horses, jacks, jennets. cattle, sheep
and hogs in the live stock depart
ment, over 1000 prize chickens IN
the poultry display, six acres OF
implement and vehicle exhibits, a
magnificent show covering the pro-
ducts of the farms, orchards and
gardens Of Texas, a superb art ex-
hibit OF pictures by fore On and
native artists and in the ladies'
textile division the best showing
ever made by the women of Texas.
One thousand race horses, harness
and runners, will compete for the
prize offerings, and the best turf
sport ever witnessed in Texas is
promised. -Four famous bands
will furnish the music this year,
and, il is declared, the musical
and amusement attractions are the
best that money could obtain for
the hundreds of thousands OF pat
rons OF the fair.
BIG ATTENDANCE ASSURED.
Railroads. declare that there
never has been such a demand for
tickets to Dallas; that people are
coming in thousands from every
section of the state, Oklahoma and
Indian Territories, Louisiana, Ar
kansas and Missouri, and that the
attendance at the fair this year will
be the greatest in the history OF
the association. Judging by the
bookings for rooms a, the several
hotels, Dallas will be crowded as
seldom before, and probably never
for so long time.

promises TO be exceedingly inter
esting to all. As there will be
no racing on the Sundays during
the fair, speed contests will be held
on the race tracks between these
ostriches, and as they are very
swift of foot, will, Mr.. Ford be-
