Saratoga is the most independent of
Summer resorts. Everybody wants to
spend at least few days here iu order
to say that they have been to Saratoga.
Jumper dresses, it might be said, are
as numerous as ''the sand upon the sea
shore" Bretelle effects are also classed
under this head, and truly smart econ
omies are the result. Plaided silk, ar
ranged in folds, or plain, sometimes
connected by fancy cording; passemen-
terie, either open or laced across;
black velvet in two bands, with a lat
tice work of very narrow velvet, fin.
ished by small buttons are sll pretty
devices and render a plain costume

Princess Styles.

Almost every dressy gown worn here
is IN Princess shape, aud pale blue or
pink silks of light texture, elabor-
ately trimmed with lace, are lovely for
afternoon or evening. But a faint idea
OF the beauty and variety of lingerie
dresses worn here by smart dressers
can be conveyed. A very novel one
displayed at large hotel, had sprays
of pink silk embroidery on two panels
of very fine tucks at the front of the
dress. AS everyone is neither young
young nor slender, a pale blue satin
gown had the surplice fronts closely
braided in gilt, with lace yoke and
sleeves, thus giving the other side of
the picture. A beautiful accessory is
a jacket of considerable length, made
throughout of silk braid with a picot
edge, and lined and frilled with white
chiffon.

Samson's Exploit With the Foxes lmi-
tated In Missouri.


"Information wanted regarding
Emmett and Frank Clingesmith; aged
now about forty and forty-four res
pectively, left their home in Adair
county, Mo-. about thirty years ago.
Please notify Mrs. Sarah A. Clinge-
smith, Kirksville, Mo-"
The above advertisement has been
inserted in a few western papers, so
far without result. The advertiser
is a woman of sixty-five, living with
her son-in-law near the edge Of
Kirksville.
Behind the disappearance of the
Clingesmith boys nearly a third OF
century ago is a curious story. Judge
A. d. Risdon. who Is attending circuit
court this week. was prosecuting at
torney of Adair county at the time the
lads ran away. His memory or the
affair is as follows:
THE boys were arrested for break
ing into a store near the iron bridge
over the Charlton river, In the west
ern part Of the county. They were
nice looking little fellows, and OF
course 1 didn't mean to prosecute
them very severely: probably when
court came on they would have receiv-
ed a bit of a lecture from the judge
and then have been discharged.
while they were in custody Sam
Mclaughlin, who now lives here.
asked the sheriff's permission to take
the lads to Sunday school one morn
ing. Mr.. Mclaughlin was a very en-
thusiastic Sunday school worker. and
1t was sort Of hobby with him to
look after young folks who might be
inclined to go wrong.
THE lesson that day was about
Samson, and a more interesting sub
ject for youngsters could hardly be
found in the bible. The students were
told how Samson angered at the IN

foxes and tied firebrands to their tails,
after which he released them in the
cornfleld Of the Philistines. don't
recollect the moral of the tale. but |
presume the teacher found one some-
where.
within a week Of that day the lit
tie Clingesmith boys got out of the
Jail and the next thing reported to
me was a confagration in the wes-
tern part of the county, near the old
iron bridge. The story came from the
prosecuting witness.
HE said that during the night
some one had started a fire in his
fields and that thousands of dollars
worth of fencing, barns and timber
had been burned. OF course l sus-
pected the boys when l heard about
the Samson story, but never from that
day to this have we been able to hear
one word of them.
'"They may not have started the
fire. | don't accuse them of 1t. but II

The Limit.

A lady who lives on the north side
had occasion a few days ago to go
through the ordeal Of engaging new
housemaid. The young woman who
had applied for the place was evidently
not a native of the United States. In
fact. II was apparent that she had been
in this country only little while.
Can you -coek?" asked the woman
who expected to be the mistress in
case they came to an agreement con-
cerning terms.
"Yis, OF can that"
How about washing?"
well, ma'am, not sayin' anything
agin the washin's you may have Ord
rather take less and let somebody else
do it,"
She was a pretty girl, with rather
shapely hands, and it was hardly rea-
sonable to blame her for desiring to
preserve her beauty if arrangements
could be effected that would make such
a course possible. So it was decided
that she might. by accepting 81 week
less than she would have otherwise re-
ceived. omit the washing.
There was some further question
ing, which proceeded satisfactorily to
both sides until the girl was asked why
she had left her last place"
We'll. Orm that ashamed OF hardly
like to tell you," she said.
This at once aroused suspicion on the
other side. and. Of course. negotiations
could proceed no further until the mat
ter was thoroughly explained.
You'd "a done it yourself II you'd
"a been in my place." said the girl.
THAT doesn't matter l must know
just what the trouble was or l cannot
engage you"

COULDN'T STAND EvERYTHING.-One
of the best retorts in history occurred
when ParsOn BrownlOw was war gov
ernOr of Tennessee. On one of his jour-
neys he attended services at q small
Methodist church in the upper part of
the state. The parson was a devout
Methodist. and seldom allowed his po-
litical rancOr to interfere with the char
ity of his religious faith. On this Oc-
casiOn, being visiting clergyman. he
was placed in the Amen Corner" near
the pulpit The local minister was as
ardently Democratic in his views as
Governor BrownlOw was Republican.
In the prayer which followed the
lengthy sermon the minister began to
call on the Lord for grace for his fa-
vOrites. God bless Felix Grundy," he
began. ParsOn Brownlow moved un-
easily in his seat. but responded with
q conscientious Amen" God bless
Robert F. Lee" continued the preach
er. A fainter Amen" from ParSOn
Brownlow. God bless the whole Dem
ocratic party" cried the preacher wax
ing in fervOr as he progressed. This
was too much for the governor. With
a bound he was on his feet and shout
ing: God forbid, 1t would bankrupt
divine grace and exhaust the whole
plan Of salvation."-Champ Clark.

Escaped on Technicality.

Several senators were discussing a
variety of topics in the Democratic
cloak room. Mr.. Tillman said that it
had always been a matter of keen re-
gret to him that so many rascals es-
capped their just deserts on technicali-
ties. From his view point, which was
that of a corn field lawyer, this was
not right The South Carolina senator
thought that the country needed more
corn field" law and less of the other
kind.
1T is true" said Mr.. Carmack Of
Tennessee, gravely, that men who are
really guilty often do escape punish
ment on mere technicalities, but the
law cannot be held altogether to blame
for it. l recall a case in point down
in my state.
IN the little town Of Culleoka,
where I was student in my youthful
days, lived two quite celebrated char
acters. One was known by the eu-
phonious name Of 'Snorting Bill the
other was called Suffering Sam
Snoring Bill and Suffering Sam
were boon companions, but when they
got full of liquor, which was as often
as the opportunity offered, they would
pOmmel each other to beat the band.
On the occasion l speak Of they went
down to a town by the name OF Hur-
ricane Switch and got a little drunker
than usual In the fight that followed
Suffering Sam got the better OF
'Snorting Bill In fact he got Snort
ing Bill down and tramped on his face,
A few days later 'Snorting Bill met
Suffering Sam in a saloon in Nash
vile.
"'Snorting Bill with painful memo
ries of the little incident down at
Hurricane Switch. pulled out big
knife and announced his intention of
cutting the heart out of Suffering
Sam
Hold on, BILL said Suffering
Sam,'" jumping behind a table. 'W-why
what is the matter with you"
Didn't you knock me down and
tramp on my face the other day down
at Culleoka?' . shouted. 'Snorting Bill
"N-n-o-Bill.' sputtered Suffering
Sam. didn't do that at Culleoka.'
'Snorting Bill paused and they be-
gan to argue the matter. Finally he
became satisfied that Suffering Sam
was right and put up his knife.
After he had left Suffering Sam
took a big drink and said: 1t Is true
l did. tramp on "Snorting Bills" face
down at Hurricane Switch. but reck-
on l have escaped on a technicality.
Bill thought that it happened at Cul-
leoko.' '"-Washington Post.
