Then tue trout picks the feathers from thu. 5icd eats 1t at its leisure and swims away out of the Jurisdiction of the courts Are there any fishermen? No1~. 100 bad.

Fancy Blouse Waist.

Whatever feature the new, up-to-
date waist may include, the one all
essential one Is some arrangement OF
trimming whereby the seams that
join the sleeves to the blouse are con-
cealed. Here is a distinctly new
model that is both simple and efec-
tive, and which is trimmed to bring
about this desirable result, while the
shoulder line is by no means over
broad, and it consequently is becom-
ing to almost all figures. In the IL
lustration it is made Of crepe de
Chine in a new lovely grey-green
with trimming of velvet in a darker
shade and Of soutache braid M rib
bon frills, while the yoke is OF ecru
lace. The combination OF several
materials on a single garment, as
we'll as the color, mark the very
latest style, and the blouse is alto
gether one much to be commended.
It can be utilized both for the entire
gown and for the separate waist, and
is really appropriate for every FASH
'ionable material Of indoor wear, IN
asmuch as all + soft and can De
made full with success. Trimming
of various sorts car be substituted
for the velvet and soutache. The
shoulder portions, for example, could
be made of Oriental embroidery or
of bands of embroidery held by lar
row straps of velvet ribbon, or they
could be of some contrasting ma

Flow Tom Corwin Got an Education.

His father felt that he was too
poor to make a scholar of more than
one child of his large family, and so

at school and Thomas placed at hard
work on the farm.
The breaking of a leg proved a
happy incident in the life of the boy.
as the enforced confinement gave him
time for devotion to his beloved
books, and he committed a Latin
grammar to memory. Upon. his re-
covery he again importuned his
father to send him to school, and,
meeting a refusal, deliberately broke
his leg the second time, that he might
have more leisure for study. His
heroic determination to learn result
ed in his being placed in the same
institution attended by his brother,

industry gathered a thorough knowl-
edge. Of the best English literature
