Fringed cloths are often quite

They may be made to look like new

are starched little care is taken not
to starch the fringe. Fold each cloth
in four, like handkerchief, and then
gather the fringe of each part into
the hand and hold it firmly while you
dip the middle into the starch. When
the cloth is dry shake the fringe we'll

fall as softly and prettily as when

HUMORS OF SOME GREAT MEN
John Murray In London Lecture Draws
Amusing Pictures Of William
GIadstone-Dean Stanley.

The London correspondent of the
Boston Transcript, speaking of a lee
ture delivered by the publisher, Mr..
John Murray, said:
Mr.. Murray drew an amusing pic
ture of Gladstone in bed. THE last
time | was at his house." he said, Il
had breakfast early and alone, as /
was going to Scotland. When | had
finished, l was told that Mr.. Gladstone
did not know that l was leaving SO
early, and that he wanted to have an
other talk with me. l went to his bed
room-a very large room with a dou-
BILE bed in it.
Gladstone was dressed in a night
gown, with a brown Shetland shawl
round him. He was lying fiat on his
face, his head at the foot of the bed
and his feet on the pillows. In one
hand he held a cup of coffee and there
was a book in the other. l shall eve
forget that interview and the conf
cality of the great lion head popping
up as l went toward him."
The lecturer next alluded to Dean
Stanley, whose writing was so a
that he could not read a letter he him
self had written, and whose contrac-
ton of Jerusalem" into "Jerus" re-
suited in the compositor's setting it up
as Jones"
Two friends once dined with the
dean, and there was cold duck on the
table. The dean carved; but he was
so engrossed with the conversation
that he first let the duck slip upon the
table and then upon the floor. One Of
the guests, knowing that the duck was
the only thing they had for luncheon,
shouted, 81 see a cat in the room!"
"Ah," said the dean, you need not
be afraid of the duck! l have my foot
on it."

him or else he could not do so, and
therefore his testimony amounted to
nothing.
The conspirators tried to break the
original will until it was finally pro-
nounced legal and valid by the SUI
preme court of Nebraska, and Joseph
H. Miles's rights we're thoroughly and
legally established.
During the course Of all this liti-
cation two of the parties in the con-
spiracy died, and the others were
not prosecuted for their completely in
the affair, although their actions had
put MI. Joseph H. Miles to consider
able trouble and expense. They had
approached him several times, making
indirect propositions looking to a com
promise, but, needless to say. he had
promptly repealed all of them.

service has long since been severed.

sas City by the lawyers who had been
engaged by Samuel Miles to break the
will. The proposition which they
made to him vas that he should find
a man whose former reputation had
been good, and who would be willing
to go on the witness stand and testify
to having drawn up and witnessed a
will made by the elder Miles while he
was on n of the frequent visits to
st. Louis that he had been accustomed
to make. During the course OF the
conversation the lawyer told Har-
baugh all about the conspiracy that
had been formed to break the will by
finding" a later one, and gave the
names of all who were connected with
the scheme. One Of these men was
a prominent lawyer in Falls City, Neb.
Another was a man of considerable
prominence in Omaha, having a big
political pull throughout the state.
Still another was at that time in good
standing at the St. Louis bar.
what will it be WORTH" inquired
Harbaugh.

fee of ten thousand dollars Is Don as
the will is broken" the lawyer answer
ed. Furthermore, we will send you
to the Paris exposition, paying your
fare and all expenses up to the value
Of $4,000.
"Well," answered Harbaugh thought
fully, you'll have to give me a few
days to think the proposition over
It's too big a thing for me to decide
offhand."
The lawyer agreed to that, and Har
baugh left that evening for st. Louis
where, the next morning, he came tc
me and told me of the proposal which
had been made to him, asking me
what l thought he had better do about
it.

One Of the cases to which I look
back with the greatest satisfaction
was that of the Miles will. There is
a common impression that the private
detective is not an. overscrupulOus
person. In this case l had the pleasure
of cooperating with one Of my opera
tives who had been offered what was,
to him, a small fortune to commit a
dishonest act, and who, instead, re-
jected the bride and vas the Of
confounding the c~onspirators.
In the latter part of the nineties
Stephen B. Miles, a wealthy resident
of Nebraska, died, leaving an estate
consisting of lands in Nebraska and
Kansas, bank stock and bonds, and
other property, the whole valued at
several millions Of dollars. He was
survived by a wife, from whom he had
been divorced; two sons, Joseph H.
Miles and Samuel, and a daughter, as
we'll as a number of nephews and
nieces and several grandchildren.
One of the sons, Joseph, was a prom
inent banker and business man of
Falls City, Neb., and also had large in
terests in other towns in that state.
He had been a telegraph operator in
his younger days, and had amassed
his money by honesty and industry,
and was highly esteemed by all who
knew him as a clean, wide-awake busl-
ness man and a good citizen.
The other son, Samuel, was about
forty years of age, and resided with
his family on a ranch belonging to his
father in Kansas, Just over the Ne
braka line. He had been wild in his
younger days, and had caused his IA
Their a good deal of trouble on account
of his dissolute habits.
Shortly after the death of Stephen
B. Miles a will was found in an ole
suit case, the provisions of which made
the son Joseph executor and trustee
of the estate and chief beneficiary
Samuel being left, in addition to a sun
of money, a life interest in the rancf
on which he and his family were liv
ing. After his death and that of hi
wife the property was to pass to thei
children. The will also provided tina

These provisions WERE, of course
highly unsatisfactory to the o Sam

hands of a lawyer, at whose sugges

prevent the probating of the will. Nc
succeeding in this, he afterwar
brought suit to have the will set aside
