with slender handles enameled with a

gilded bowls engraved with the host.
ess' initials. A favorite spoon of
heavier weight has a handle of re-
pousse hammered silver, tipped with
the head of an American Indian wear
ing a war bonnet and bowl engraved
with the name of an aboriginal tribe.
There are also many attractive look
ing spoons showing flower patterns
developed in repousse work upon their
handles and with elaborately etched
gilded bowls.
Silver and porcelain are charmingly
combined in the spoons. which have
either plain or etched sterling bowls
and handles of Haviland, Dresden or
Delft. Occasionally this plan of CON-

feet is decidedly novel, the porcelain
bowls are liable to crack if employed
to stir hot beverage, or TO snap when
used to serve confectionery.
Equally fragile, although dainty are
the spoons having gold bowls and han

of silver cut out work and handles of
crystal or metal set with rhinestones.

THE GRIND.

"A column day, column a day."
Was ever the song he sang;
Though the clouds of misfortune may
roll for aye
And the bells of trouble clang.
If the sun shines bright or the rain comes
down,
Or the worlds pure gold or a somber
brown
And my heart is sad or gay,
With little for wage and less renown,
l must do a column day.
"a column day. a column day."
Was ever the moan he made
And the road of life seemed weary way
That led through sorrows glade.
"Woeful the morn when my minds
blank,
And I would that l stood on Nepenthe's 8
bank
Set free from these fetters for ave.
No wonder I'm cross and considered a
crank!

ALL KINDS OF TRIMMINGS
Soutache Braid, However, Hetains
Popularity Accorded 1t Last
Season.

This is the most difficult question
there is to answer in the fashion
world.
At the beginning of the season the
vogue of soutache braid was consld-
cred an absurdity. Never another
season of it, said fashion leaders.
But here we are in the height of an
other and greater soutache season.
Creators of braid were not satisfied
until they combined this fascinating
little braid with fancy weaves to
make wide fanciful braid trimmings
When rat tail was recently introduced
it was named as soutache's successor.
But now the downfall of it is in sight
instead
Jet, jet, iet--has been the cry of
fashion. But at last we hear that
Paris has forsaken it. American fash
ions have not, however, thanks. Moth
ing can take the place of jet for trim
ming, black gowns especially.
Gold and silver trimmings are at
their height of popularity. And no
one can deny that these are quite the
prettiest trimmings that have been in
vogue for many seasons. Even entire
tunics of beautiful evening gowns are
of gilt jet.
Oriental and art shaded embroid-
cries are much in favor too This is
an unusual season of colors, so, of
course, rich colored trimmings are
bound to be held in high esteem.
Yes, it is a season of trimmings
and many kinds. No hard and fast
rules govern them.

O'Learv Defends Noted Chicago Cow

Peoples home, Foster and Southport
avenues, is willing to make affidavit
to the statements made him by two
members of his Sunday school class.
81 don't care what anybody else
says about the fire." said O'Leary,
thrusting his thumbs in the ormholes
of his vest. MY parents are dead
and can't defend themselves against
this latest fake as to the origin of
the fire, but I'll speak out, and plain
ly, too.
That story about the COW kicking
over the lamp was the monumental
fake of the last century. ! know what
I'm talking about when ! say that the
fire was caused by spontaneous com
bustion in the hayloft.
You see it was like this: The old
man had put in load of green hay
a few days before the fire. Below the
hay loft were the stables where the
COWS were kept We had several
cows and did quite milk business.
The popular belief has always been
that my mother was milking COW
when the beast kicked over lamp.
Nothing is farther from the truth
than that musty old fake.
The family always retired early
If wasn't in before eight o'clock the
old lady made me remember it with a
strap.
1T was Sunday night that the big
fire started. On that night we had
all gone to bed half an hour before
the fire broke out. | hadn't gone to
sleep yet and was the first one of the
family to hear the firemen shouting
in front of the house.
Both my father and mother went
to their graves sad at heart over the
world wide notoriety given them in
the printed accounts of the burning o,
Chicago. wish to make it as em
phatic as possible that the O'Leary
COW did not kick over lamp"

Big Jim" OLeary, the stockyards

Dr. Leek told story of the great
fire which in some respects was a
new version He declared that two
brothers, Samuel and Christopher
O'Neill, and a companion, went to the
O'Leary barn on the night of the fire
to steal milk to make whisky punch.
This version of the origin of the
fire, the minister said, was told him
by Andrew Bird, who in 1871 taught
a Bible class in Maxwell Street Meth

The O'Neill brothers, it was as

THEM.

After the striving and straining,
After the many defeats;
After much useless complaining
After heart breaking retreats
After the hoping and signing,
Cheated and hated of men,
After the hard self-denying
The smile of Success-and what thens
After the planning and scheming,
After the strife and the strain;
After the fretting and dreaming,
After the ache and the pain;
After the doubling and daring,
Pitied or hated of men,
After too often despairing
The Joy of success-and what then?
After the profltless cropping,
Down where the deep shadows lie;
After the praiseworthy hoping,
After the sob and the sigh;
After all this, the great glory
OF joining the prominent men,
And the struggle-to finish the story
