The Man From Auvergne

He was from Auvergne, and, having prospered since he came up to Paris, had now water cart of his own, and sent 50 francs a month to the old people and the little brothers and sisters in Frognac, who blessed his name, and felt that they lived in luxury.
 The little boys of the house now had new branches, and there was talk of sending the last two to school.
 The author of all these blessings had, however, by no means changed his mode of living. He slept beside his cask in the carthouse, and four times a year changed the straw of his bed.
 His clothing expenses would have been almost nothing were t not for those con founded shoes, which used up four pounds of nails a month.
 His table expenses he did not stint himself on. He allowed himself four pounds of bread a day. sometimes ever regaled his stomach with bit of cheese and an onion. Sundays and fete days he went as far as soup and beef-ant licked his fingers the rest of the week.

New City, N. Y, Dec. 19.-The fate

clerk of Haverstraw, on trial here for
the murder on July % last of his SON.
in-law, Eugene Newman, was expected
to be in the hands of the, jury this
afternoon. All evidence for and
against Cleary was presented before
adjournment of court last night
Counsel were to sum up the evidence
today and the case will be given to
the jury when Justice Morschauser
has finished his charges.
The sensation of the trial came last
night when Mrs. Anna Cleary New
man, widow of Eugene Newman and
daughter Of the defendant, told from
the witness stand story corroborat-
ing the testimony Of her mother and
father who had preceded her. Mrs
Newman told of her marriage to Eu-
gene Newman five days before the
shooting, declaring that she kept the
fact secret from her father and
mother and in answer to questions af-
firmed the contention Of the defense
that Newman was the father of her
unborn child, which fact Cleary previ-
ously had stated caused him to lose
his reason when his son-in-law called
to inform him of the secret marriage.

GERMANS EAGER TO

SLAMS IN POLAND.

Berlin, Friday, Dec. 18.-(Delayed in
transmission Berlin was still in fes-
tive array today celebrating the re-
ported victory in Poland but the peo-
pie expressed shade of disappoint-
ment at the brevity OF the war bulletin
which failed to supply any further de-
tails of the Polish engagement. The
newspapers point out this afternoon
that the present developments in the
eastern arena of war will require sew
eral days to reach a stage where the
net results can be approximately set
forth. In the meantime various ru-
mors are in circulation concerning the
very large number Of prisoners taken
by the Germans.
Rudolph Won Valentino, chief of En-
peror Williams cabinet, answering a
telegram from the East Prussian syn
cd to the emperor, wrote as follows:
"His majesty confidently trusts that
the answering will to conquer, with
Gods help, will lead the fatherland

Mary E. Pennington Of the bureau Of
chemistry at the congressional hear.
ing today on the bill to regulate cold
storage, said exhaustive Investigation
and experiments disclosed that poultry
and eggs, If properly handled, could be
kept in cold storage a sufficient
length of time to overcome seasonablo
scarcity of supply, without any deter
ioration of their food value. She show
ed comparisons of poultry marketed
fresh and after being frozen forty-one
weeks and drew the conclusion that
with the same handling both would be
equally valuable for food.

A wide band of this satin finishes the
bottom of the tunic and makes the
lower skirt. The simplicity of the
materials and development make it
especially becoming to the young
woman.
The military effect has kept the
capes strongly in evidence and the
cape used fer evening wear in the il
lustration is one made of Ptrograd
blue broadcloth and lined with deep
rich crimson. The fur collar is made
of kolinsky, a, Russian mink which
closely resembles sable.
Another evening frock of white
faille silk has a tulle tunic with a
band around the bottom of white satin
ribbon. This tunic is but little
shorter than the satin underskirt,
which is edged with fringe of glass
beads two inches wide.
The sailor hat is very smart, but is
changing little in shape. Now the
right side is slightly narrower than
the left and the crown is shallower.
Some of the small hats look like the
hats of an early Victorian period Of
seventy years ago. Small and perch.

ers are reappearing in a modified way,
