GIRL. and BOSS"
When the Wave of Reform Start.
ed to Move.
BY GRACE KERRiGAN.

II had taken Jake Kelly Ave years
10 become the political boss Of the
young city of Grafton. but he had
reached the pinnacle at last. He had
his newspaper; he owned most Of the
saloons; he owned a majority OF the
aldermen: his ward-heelers were num-
bered by the score.
From the outset, the respectable
element had fought the boss, but Mr..
Kelly's ways were too sly for them.
With every promise Of reform on his
part, he drew the chains tighter. He
did not go too fast, but made every
thing solid and lasting. and prepared
an heritage for his old age.
The chief reason why Boss Kelly
got his start and continued to flourish
was that the better class did not size
him up right. Because he could
scarcely write his name and had no
social standing whatever, or aspired
TO any, he was regarded until too late
as an ignoramus who could be
squelched whenever the wave OF re-
form got ready to move. In due time
1t was ready. and then it was discov-
cred that Boss Kelly owned the town.
For the first two years of his reign
Mr.. Kelly could not see the need Of a
private secretary. When a "divvy"
came his way the cash was showed
into his pocket, and the amount was
recorded In his memory alone. When
he had made up his mind as to who
should be the next mayor Of the town
there was a Darkroom pow-wow In
stead Of letter-writing. When it look
ed as If an election might be close the
boss didn't send out his instructions
in writing. He took little walks under
cover of darkness, and as he leaned
over the bar of this OF that saloon he
whispered to the proprietor:
I'VE shall want about 400 majority
in your precinct. See that We get 1t.
They always got it. The reformers
raised howl about ballot-box stuffing

Appointed Day of Judgment.

A horse dealer in an English town
had lent a horse to a solicitor, wh'
killed the animal through bad usage
The dealer insisted on payment, and
the lawyer, refusing cash, said he
would give bill for the amount, but
it must be at long date. The law
yer drew a promissory note, making
It payable on the day of judgment.
An action was raised, and the. lawyer
asked the sheriff to look at the bill.
Having done so. the sheriff replied:
This is the day of judgment. decree
you to pay tomorrow"

New Hats Artistic.

The grotesque, and in reality bad
style of shape Of hats worn in recent
years seems to have given place to
artistic developments. Most of them
are notifications of past period, we
see the "Watteau" shape in different
sizes. with wreaths Of flowers and rib
bons, or ribbon velvet streamers,
which is such a sweet fashion for
the girls. Large hats of the Gains
borough order are trimmed with one
long feather. These feathers are quite
as beautiful as the celebrated one
worn by the duchess of Devonshirc at
the coronation OF George Nv.

with a handsome brown tailor-made,

and intimidation, but the howl died
away after few days to begin again
next time. The time came when the
boss felt the need Of a private secre-
tary, who should also he his typist.

great men that must be answered by
letters. A score OF young men ap-
piled for the position. Nixey. Half

icai secrets even to his gang. To
whom, then? He thought the matter
Dver for a week, and then installed
Miss Kate Doland, seventeen years
old, and the daughter OF a widow.
There was craft and there was graft
in the movement.
The boss had mortgage on the
widows home. The daughter was to
receive a salary of s. per week, and
two Of the sum was to be credited on
the mortgage.
And IL you play me any tricks the
mortgage is to be foreclosed at once,

street." was the threat that hung over
the girls head as she went to work
The boss chuckled. He had made
himself safe. The girl must catch OF,

Wings have come to stay for some
time. AS they are made now, they are
for more durable than In past seasons.
The feathers are sewed to a founda-

perience necessary to make them, it
is a wonder they can be sold SO
cheaply.
Next to the wing for street hats,
standing brushes promise to make the
best impression. These are manufac-
tured, also, with ornamental stem

sewed to the hat without the use Of
an ornament Of any kind. Neverthe-

are often used with them. AS the

increase in favor. for they are new
and already well launched upon a re-

that Colonel Hart was the first presi-
