There is nothing that embodies more
charm and utility than the dainty silk
waist combined with the chic walking
skirt. 1t is, indeed, indispensable to
the up-to-date woman, for its suita-
bility for wear upon all occasions rem
ders 1t invaluable. The blouse shown
is made of pretty checked silk, the
vest and deep cuffs being made of
tucked lady's cloth. The front body
portion is tucked in box pleat effect,
while the three-quarter sleeve is fin-
ished with both a plain and a fancy
cuff. The skirt Is ten-gored one, fit
ting snugly about the hips, while at
the foot it is modishly full, inverted
pleats at the lower part of the front
and side seams contributing to the flare
effect. An inverted pleat at the center
back gives the fullness necessary for
free movement. The skirt may be made
up in any of the seasons woolens, or
in silk if preferred. To make the Co.'S
tune in the medium size requires 81
yards of 27-inch material for the waist
and 11A yards of 22-inch material for
the skirt.

 Who was this Anna Tunstail?
 The will of William Banks, dated
 March 2, 1908. was probated November
 Is. 1872. in Culpepper County and
 speaks of Baylor and Tunstall sons of Baylor Banks. also of William F., son
 of Richard Banks; Miss Jane Leigh,
 sister, of Elizabeth R. Thornton,
 t'brother" Tunstall Banks Aunt" Jane
 Voss, sister" Anna Banks. From an act passed in February, 17b9,
 by the Virginia House, is appears that
 William Banks. the elder, formerly of St. Stephens Parish, King and Queen County. was the owner of certain lands, etc. and by will dated November 10. 170s. devised them to his son Ralph Banks, and soon died, and said Ralph. after entry, died. leaving issue; Will liam Banks his eldest son and heir, and said William. last mentioned, died leaving issue, Tunstall Banks. his eld- est son and heir. etc. (Sees7 Hening, 293.)
 My theory Is that William. the f9theE of Tunstali Banks. married one qa the
 daughters of Col. Richard Tuhstall. supra.

New York's most famous confidence man, popuiarly known as Hungry Joe, who died six years ago. has again re- turned to Broadway. He is now neith- CT ghost nor swindler, but one of the most celebrated cases with which the central ofiice has ever had to deal
 As a reader of his own obituaries he has arleady joined the class of Mark Twain and Admiral Ro5estvensky. Hungry Joe is really relic of ante- bellum days since he began his occu- patton as confidence man in 1s61 He has swindled such famous men as Oscar Wilde. Judge Noah Davis, Gen. John A. Logan, Charles Francis Adams and many others. He, has also gone under almost as many aliases as the number of his victims, and by many he is regarded as the original gold brick man of New York.
 His real name is Joseph Abzes and he is probably the only man who ever fooled the New York police into be- lleving him dead when he was not. He has served several terms in prison, the last of which was in the Maryland State Penitentiary. from which he was released in 1898. Shortly afterward notice of. his death appeared in all the prominent papers in the country and after due investigation his photograph was withdrawn from the Rogues Gal- lery, which it had adorned for nearly third of century. His recent ap- pearance on Broadway, however. brought to light one of the most fa- nous criminal hoaxes in history.
 Hungry Joe'' did not die in 1898 and the notices in various papers were in- serted by friends to cover up his fu- ture. Now Hungry Joe- has reform ed and is leading a model life.
 Curiously enough his discovery on Broadway after he had been held dead for a decade was due to his peculiar and habitual unwillingness to walk near to the building line. He never passes the mouth of an alley or near d building and it was this peculiarity which led to his rediscovery.

.sThe Ninety ana Nine.0

From Hymns Every Child Should
 Know" Edited by Dolores Bacon.
 The manner in which this song was set to music excellently demonstrates one of the peculiar clements of real doubt that Ira D. Sanlxey was genius in his chosen line. He found the words of the hyfnn in a newspaper on a train between Glasgow and Edin- bureh. The next day at 8 meeting MT. Moody asked Mir. Sankey if he had not something to sing appropriate to the subject of the talk which had just been given upon The Good 5hep- herd.' Mir. Sankey offered a prayer in order to gain moment for thought. as he had already sung. congregation ally, everything appropriate to the occa- sion. These words were in his mind, and while he prayed he tried to form something like a tune. When he went to the organ the tune evolved itself just as it stands to-day.

A NEW ENTERPRISE.

It is likely that Columbia will
havea new enterprise in a short
time.
Mr.. Lincoln Denton and Mr..
Charles Niece, of Somerset, were
here last week, prospecting, with
view of locating a stave dresser.
If they can buy the timber and
arrange with parties to deliver
slaves in the rough, at Columbia,
the enterprise will be a go. Such a
business would give quite num-
Der Of hands employment, bring
ing a considerable sum of money
into the county.
We trust that Messrs. Denton
& Niece will find a sufficient
amount of timber, and that they
will locate their machine in this
place.
