THE LADY AND THE UMBRELLA. Not Every Woman So Lucky as the
 Heroine of This Tale.

In the storeroom that every rail. road maintains for the safe keepina of lost articles left in its care by for. getful passengers there are always to be found hundreds of umbrellas. But not every umbrella left in the cars is lost long enough to find it's way to the lost department; it may fortu. nately be recovered sooner
 Here was a woman who had just stepped from an elevated railroad train, to find it raining, and thus re- minded:
 "Oh, my umbrella" she said, and, turning to the train, which had al- ready started along, she added: Wait a minute!' request by the train un. needed.
 And yet this woman recovered her umbrella in moment
 Here it is," said another woman, who was travelling with her, had got off the car after her, and had gathered up her friends umbrella with her own as she came along.
 So this forgetful passenger recov. cred her umbrella promptly, but not all are so fortunate; thousands of um- brellas left behind by passengers go to the lost departments every year.

Like a Roentqen Picture.

As long ago as 1795 Leipsic house published a German novel illustrated by something closely resembling . Roentgen picture. The story tells of the Countess Abillinia, who gave her heart to the knight Gibello. The knightly lover was thoughtless enough to kill his lady loves father, her af- lection turned to hatred, she vowed to kill him. In dream she saw the man who had fascinated her, and she stood, ready to slay him, when sud- denly his form changed, and before her stood a grinning skeleton, saying: 'T have already been punished" This scene is illustrated in the old book, and the picture is not unlike Roent- gen photograph. When 1t was pub lished no one probably would have be- lieved that science within a compara- lively short time would make 1t pos sib1e to produce this picture, which the authors imagination invented.

Paris Pattern No. 2572 All Seams Allowed.-Dark blue challis has been used in the development of this sim- pie and becoming little house dress, which is quite as easily slipped into as wrapper and yet infinitely more tidy. The waist portion is cut in three pieces, the left and right front and the back; the sleeves being cut in one with it. The front is tucked and the back is slightly gathered at the waist line. The skirt which is also tucked is attached to the waist under the belt and the dress fastens down the left side of the front with small cloth-covered or pearl buttons. The trimming bands and belt are of dark red taffeta silk, and the lower edge of the skirt is finished with a wide hem.
 The pattern is in five sizes-32 to 40 inches, bust measure. For 36 bust the dress requires SA yards of mate rial 27 inches wide, 6A yards 36 inches wide, or 51a yards 42 inches wide. Width of lower edge of skirt about four yards.
 To procure this pattern send 10 cents to Pattern Department" of this paper. Write name and address plainly, and be sure to give size and number of pattern.

POSTMASTER VS. MAYOR
Officials of Texarkana Lock Horns In the Matter of the Arrest of One
 Small Pony
From the Texarkanian.- -

There are "war- clouds" low. ering in this part of the country.
 Blood stains are beginning to show on the moon, and an armed conflict is imminent.
 The city administration of Tex arkana, Texas, headed by Mayor DeLoach, and the administration at Washington, headed by Teddy the terror, are the prospective beligerants.
 As was to have been expected the trouble was all caused by the ravages" of the new pound master, MT. Dick Steel.
 The cause leading up to the present strained relations be- tween the two governments was on this wise:
 The Washington administra. tion owns and opprates a post office in TeXarkana, one half of which is situated in Texas terri. tory In the emyloy of said post office is small boy, Patrick Sullivan, whose duty it is to de- liver special delivery letters. Patrick uses a horse for this work, and sometimes when he is not busy he turns the horse out to graze on the grass lot situated just west of the of the post office, being on the government reser- vation.
 A night or so ago the pound master spied the pony eating grass on this lot, and he immedi- ately roped the animal and pro- ceded to incarcerate it in the city pound pen along with a lot of other critters of all sorts and grades.
 It cost Patrick two bucks to secure the release of the pony, the pound master insisting that all plugs" looked alike to him whether owned by private citi- zens, post office employees or United States army officers.
 The matter was carried before the city council last night by the postmaster who insisted that neither the poundmaster nor any other city officer had any jurisdiction of any kind over anything on the government reservation. Mayor DeLoach replied to this argument, in be- half of the city taking direct is- sue with the postmaster, and de- claring that the pound master had concurrent jurisdiction, at least, with any United States marshal on that territory.
 $. The postmaster thought that ropirg of the messengers horse was to all intents and purposes delaying the United States mails" but the mayor lon ac- count of being near sighted per haps) was unable to see it that way.
 No weapons were drawn nor shots fired between the repre- sentatives of the two administra- tionS, the postmaster leaving in good order, under the flag of truce," that he appeared with, after having completed his say Before retiring, however, he and Poundmas ster Steel reached al sort of temporary understand ing which will be adhered to by both, pending settlement of the difficulty or until formal declaration of war may be madel

The EVIL Eye.

There's funny superstition In that land beyond
which is noted for Its blue and sunny sky;
You can check . rogue rascal, whatsoo'er his
deeds may be,
with what might be called the Jettstura eye
II boor with Iron elbows going up the subway
stair
Dove ahead and jabbed you rudely In the ribs.
You could stop his brutal progress and just leave
him standing there
Could you cast the jestaturs on His Nbs.
When some bargain counter female tried to scramble
UP your back.
Or was treading on your tailor made" and toes.
You could make her drop her bundles tear her hair
and walk crack
II you aimed the Jettatura at her nose.
And the impolite conductor the trolley would
think
He was subject for the Aorsue or old Bellevue
You but have 10 eye him closely and just operate
wink
And the jettatura silence would ensue.
