THE BUTTONLESS CUTAWAY.
Latest Fad In Mems Dress In London
Started by King Edward.

Started by King Edward.
The latest fad in mems dress in Lon.
don was originated by King Edward
TO be in the fashion this spring in
London men must wear only one but
ton to their cutaway coats, or, better
still, none ut all.
The buttonless cutaway is popular.
1t is worn by most Of the men one
sees in the fashionable restaurants All
the actors appearing in society plays
now wear the buttonless cutaway coat.
The sides of the coat are held in posi-
ton by link of braid about an inch
and a half or two inches long. Thus
the coat does not meet, and the link of
braid, which acts as a kind of under
study to the button, hangs horizontally
across the waistcoat.
The king has extended the principle
Of the buttonless morning coat to even
ing dress, but in the latter garment,
sometimes worn by the king. the small
connecting link between the flaps of
the coat is finished on either side in
a beautiful oynx button which is in
tended only for ornament.

POSING OF THE TROUT.
Its Resemblance to the Hovering Of tho
kestrel In tho Air.

Its Resemblance to the Hovering Of tho
kestrel In tho Air.
AS the kestrel is to the clouds so is
the trout to the crystal waters. Both
kestrels and trout display that magical
posing as if suspended by invisible
threads-only now and then, when
cross currents are encountered, is a
sign given to show that life itself is
not in suspense.
A brief agitation of the kestrers
wings, a swishing of the trouts tail
the cross current is weathered, and
bird or fish poises motionless again.
And as when walking along we are
pulled up in ever fresh wonder by the
sight Of the lowering kestrel, so we
must needs pause on a bridge when
there is trout in the stream below.
He looks his best posing with head
to the stre4m-a shapely form against
the background of smooth brown peb-
bles and waving emerald weeds. Lean
ing over the bridge with eyes on the
trout a vision is conjured-an alluring
fly drops on the water, then a slack
line tightens, there Is song from the
reel, a rod bends, there follows daz~
cling dance Of vermilion spots against
the green of the bank.
Or as we come to the bridge on a
winters day we think we hear a
mighty FLASHING Of water over the
pebbles, which turns out to be the
play of thirty or forty trout. the play
of the last round Of some water tour
ney. AS they come to the surface, roll
ing and wallowing. their great fat
sides look twice as big as when seen
through the clear water. They almost
make dam across the stream as they
jostle each other, seeking for the
choicest places on the spawning bed.

pounds of coffee, now it will pur-
chase 9 pounds of coffee. A bushel of
corn in 1897 would purchase '18
pounds of barbed wire with which to
fence in the farm; today it will pur-
chase 80 pounds.
The average hog in 1897 would buy
81 pounds of granulated sugar, now
it will buy 1872 pounds. That hog in
1897 would buy IS gallons of illumin-
ating oil, now it will buy 139 gallons.
In 1897 the hog bought AZ pounds of
coffee, now it will buy 116 pounds of
coffee. In" 1897 it would buy 227
pounds of barbed wire, now 1t will
,uuy 387 pounds.
What a Horse Will Buy.
Then Mr.. Martin took the horse for
comparison. In 1897 the horse would
buy 700 pounds of sugar, now he will
buy, 2,237 pounds, or more than ton
of sugar. The horse in 1897 would
buy 1854 pounds of barbed wire, now
he will buy 1856 pounds. One dozen
eggs in 1897 purchased pounds Of
sugar, now they purchase 4 pounds;
they bought 1 pound of coffee, now
they buy pounds. A ton of hay in
1897 would purchase 147 pounds OF
sugar, now it will purchase 223
pounds; then it purchased los gallons
of Illuminating oil, now it will pur-
chase ISL gallons. And so on through
the list of things a farmer has to
sell, showing that the ! purchasing
power of those things on the average
today is twice as great as it was in
1897. H.
Mr.. Martin was interrupted by a
representative from Nebraska, and
asked why, if all he said were true,
the FARMERS from Iowa and Nebraska
were deserving their protected farms
and going to Canada. 1.-THE popula-
ton of Iowa." exclaimed Mr.. Martin,
has been decreasing little because
the farmers there have all grown rich
and the sons of the rich farmers of
Iowa and Nebraska have come out to
populate South Dakota. Nebraska
population has stood stationary be.
cause South and North Dakota have
presented more inviting fields for
these farmers than the state of Ne
braska. We have very little Bryan

Washington, May 30.-Representa
tive Eben w. Martin of South Dako
ia recently gave to the house OF rep
resentatives a table of figures com
piled for him by statisticans in the
department commerce and labor, by
which he endeavored to prove that
the farmer was the most blessed man
in the country; that the tariff bill
was the best ever written; that the
cast of living was not too high, and
that the American people generally
lad everything to be thankful for and
little to worry over. ~.
"Surely the farmer has at length
come into his own" said MI. Martin.
1.-THE present relative conditions are
liable to continue. The vast areas of
native fertile soil in the United States
are now largely appropriated. The
utilization Of new lands suita BILE TO,
agriculture can scarcely keep pace
with the increase in our population.
We must depend in large part upon
more intensive cultivation of our farm
lands and the reclamation of limited
areas by irrigation and swamp drain
age to, meet the growing need OF the
people for food supplies.
Farmers Can't Condemn Property.
"The American farmer has not yet
passed judgmen: on the Payne tariff
act. He is willing to hear the evi-
dence. He realizes that we are liv-
ing in good times, and that he is reap
ing generous share of. the general
prosperity. He will be slow to con-
denim an industrial system under
which he has found a ready market
with good prices. In common with the
majority of the people in all trades
and occupations, he wants to know
the facts"
Mr.. Martin then swung his table to
prove his assertions. He makes his
comparisons with the ruling prices of
today and the prices of 1897, the last
year under the Wilson German tariff
act. This table shows that bushel
of corn in 1897 would purchase Z
pounds of sugar. Twelve years ago
a bushel of corn would purchase 5
gallons of Illuminating oil; now it will
purchase IL gallons. Expressed in
purchasing value of coffee, in 1897
bushel Of corn would purchase three

An Experience on . Train Between
Metz and Paris.
"For scrupulous care and trouble
taken to return change I have never
heard of anything that equaled an ex-
perience Of mine on the railroad be-
tween Metz and Paris" said national
guardsman the other day. II had been
studying the battlefields about Metz,
and when l decided to get back to
Paris I converted most of the money 1
had left into francs.
1T was a hot day in August, and the
second class compartments were so
crowded that I decided as we stopped
at town near the French border to
change to a first class coach. There
was supplement to pay, and the only
German money l had was in twenty
mark pieces. The official who made
the transfer did not have the proper
change, and while l was waiting for
him to come back with the ~ marks
and some pfennigs that belonged to me
the train moved off, and l gave my
money up for gone.
"About II o'clock that night the
train stopped at town about halfway
to Paris. There was only one other &C.
cupant Of my compartment, man who
had got on at some station in France.
Soon after we stopped the door Of the
compartment was opened and a man
inquired which Of us had given twen-
ty mark piece to be changed at the
station in Germany. 1 replied that I
was the individual.
"'Come with me, monsieur he said.
So alighted and followed him into the
station Office.
"There found that my change had
been telegraphed on, and he had the
sum due me already counted out.
There were lot of receipts and things
to sign, and the train was held up al
most fifteen minutes on my account,
but got my money and lot Of salts

But, though she frequently boosted
that the people were perfect treasures
and that her bills amounted to next to
nothing, she steadfastly refused to dis
close the name.
One day, however, she accidentally
dropped an envelope inclosing bill

of startling cheapness. Within a week
the firm that employed this clever lady
welcomed a dozen new customers.
Hotels, too, find the lady tout most

She was smart, we'll dressed, clever

Then after few days her vivacious
expression gave place to look Of un-
utterable boredom. II can't stand this
place. It's so deadly dull" she said
over and over again. Finally one
evening she announced that she could
not endure it an hour longer. She

"Where?" was the question.

THE STYLES
London Millinery Pirates and
Their Methods.
TRICKS OF SMART WOMEN.
Use Their Position to Got q Look at

Case Where There Was Slip.

~~S0 "H~V0 '"OI0 wac S"P'
The object of the modern millinery
pirate is by some means to get hold
Of the new fashions we'll In advance
of the coming season, and, however
jealousy guarded the new models are,
she-most pirates are women-very
often succeeds, and the real owner has
the modification Of seeing his novelty
anticipated by some firm of infinitely
less importance than his own.
Last spring the proprietor Of one Of
the smartest shops in the west end Of
London noticed lady walking in the
park attired in a dress almost an ex-
act copy Of brand new model of his
own, a model which not half dozen
people had seen besides its inventor
and himself. The design had been reg
istered, but the copy was just sufti-
GENTLY altered to, steer clear of legal
difficulties.
A most searching inquiry revealed
the fact that the culprit was lady
who had always been considered one
of the firms smartest and best custom
ers.
Her birth and position were less i'm
peachable than the state of her
finances, and she had accepted the
offer of a Berlin, firm to dress her on
condition that she supplied it with the
very latest creations that found their
way from Paris to London.
Having the entree Of the innermost
sanctum of the London firm referred
to, she had taken advantage OF its con-
fidence in her to draw its designs from
memory and post them to Berlin
The London firm had no legal rem;
edy whatever. All it could do was
when the autumn styles We're due and
the lady called again to inform her
that her patronage was no longer de-
sired.
Another lady detected in a similar
trick by the manager Of a Regent
street firm was very cleverly punished.
Upon her next visit she was received
with the same cordially as ever and
taken into the showroom, where the
latest models were usually displayed.
She never suspected until too late
that the room had been specially ar
ranged for her reception. The models
exhibited were anything but new, and
the too smart firm which employed her
was put to vast expense to work up
dresses from patterns resurrected; from
those of years before which proved
absolutely unstable.
1t is by no means exclusively for the
purpose of stealing other peoples orig
1nal designs that "pushing' firms en-

assigned for this, but none seem
to be logical. Those who are in
a position to know seem to think
that thesprincipal cause is found
in the rapacity Of the various
trusts to gobble everything in
sight and Secretary Wilson says
that there is really no just cause
for the present high levels that
have been reached. In many
cities of the country the people
have formed societies for the
purpose of boycotting certain
lines of feedstuffs, foremost
among which is fresh meats.
