"Saved!" cried the beautiful girl In triumph. "Saved!" The old gentle man in the easy chair dropped his pa per in astonishment. "Who is saved, my daughter?" he Interrogated, with alarm. "The whole city. My name shall go down to posterity as a heroine." Still the old gentleman was visibly perplexed. "But, ruy dear, I haven't heard of any great conflagrations or earth quakes. In what way was the city in danger?" It was then that the beautiful girl came over and sat down on the arm of his chair. "Listen, father, and you 6hall hear. Twenty minutes ago Percival Van Pickle proposed to me, and vowed if I refused to becomo his wife he would Jump into the main reservoir and end It all. When I thought of thoso 20 packs of Turkish cigarettes Percival carries in his pockets I knew the wa ter would be poisoned and the people doomed. Then I I accepted. Don't you think I'm a brave girl?" The Mean Man. 'Top," said the farmer's boy, "I have been reading a lot about these Marathons these days and I'd like to enter some." "All right, my lad," hastened the old man, taking a fresh chew of to bacco, "just yeou go down to the woodpile and start a wood-chopping Marathon and when yeou are through ycou can use the sawdust to play cir cus. Now, who says I'm not a con siderate father?" Enviable Age. Mrs. Stnbb (reading) How queer. John! The windows of the houses In ancient Egypt never had any cur tains. Mr. Stubb Gracious, Maria! I should have liked to live in those days. Mrs. Stubb Why so? Mr. Stubb Well, when a man came home late he didn't run much chance of getting a curtain lecture. SOUP MARKS. Guest You called "Minna." Is that the blonde, the dark one or the old woman? Waiter How do you know our cooks? Guest By the 60up. The Pole. Little drops of water, Moving chunks of Ice, Mado It ao elusive Had to find It twice. Suspicious of Favorites. "I understand that politician aspires to be recognized as a favorite son?" "Yep," answered Farmer Corntossel. "He 'pears to have some tuch ideas." "Don't you approve of them?" "Not altogether. My observation Is that the pet of a family is Jes' as like ly to prove a disappointment as any of the other members." A Good Reason, Taper I'd like a two weeks' ab sence to attend the wedding of a very dear friend. Mr. Gingham It must be a very dear friend, Indeed, to make you want that much time. Who is It? Taper Well, sir, after the cere mony she will be my wife. Vogue. Strictly True. "I see where a swindler trimmed a grass widow." "Haw! Haw! With a lawn mower?" "Exactly." "Oh, get out!" "It's a fact He sold her a lawn mower that didn't have any blades." All Right. "Do you think It Is all right for n young girl to ask a man to marry her?" "I certainly do. When I get en gaged I am going to ask our old min ister to marry me; he married papa and mamma." Quite a Coincidence. "Remarkable similarity between natural conditions and politics in our county." "What's that?" "We need rain terribly and the county's Just gone 'dry.' " A Prudent Precaution. "Isn't your husband going to take part in that automobile speeding con test?" "No. I simply tormented him till he gave up the Idea. You know, Jenny, I nevor did look well In black." A PEEVISH PLAINT. The leninod writers for the press Aro very, very Rood At proving how wo waato on dress Or furbelows or food. Earh writer new who makes his bow With other (inges vies To show unhappy mortals how They may economise. They tell us of the thrifty French, Who all excesses shun. But I'm not anxious to retrench; It isn't any fun. I'm weary of this endless song; I wish some seer wise Would show us how to get along And not economize. A SOLID REASON. TaWtA. i HP 1 I Mr. Smith Why do you women want to vote? Don't you know that the majority of the women don't want you to? Mrs. Smith That's exactly why we are determined to do it the cats! The Application, t'ntrt thope who talk and talk This proverb cliould appeal: Tim strain that blows tliu whistle Will never turn the wheel. A Rol.md for an Oliver. A young Dnltiinoro man, who is quick to see a point and somewhat of a wit himself, walked Into a shop the other day and asked for a comb. "Do you want a narrow man's comb?" asked the attendant, all un conscious of his terms. "No, said tlio customer, gravely; "I want a comb for a stout man with rubber teeth." Just Possible. "I was born and raised on this farm, said the stranger, "but I have n't set foot on it for 20 years. It cer tainly has run down a good deal sine, then." "Mebby it has," rejoined the old farmer, "but I reckon lt'd run down a heap sight worse if yew had stayed on it." In the Air. "Where's Willie?" "Up In the attic building a mono plane." "And where's George?" "He's in the cellar making a bi plane." "And where's Henry?" ?"He's In bed. Ho tumbled from the roof of the garage in his aeroplane." More Comfort Then. "Why do you always postpone your vacations until fall instead of going during tho summer?" "It's easier in the fall. I don't have to fight my way into the dinlnj room or get up before daylight in order to get a chair on tho porch." A Chance for Him. "I don't know what to do with my son, there seems to bo so few oppor tunities for him. There Is no plnco for a man who Is needed and yet has nu friends." "I don't know. Why not make him a baseball umpire." Two of a Kind. "This," said the senior member ol the law firm, "is another case of Greek meeting Greek.." "How's that?" queried tho Junloi member. "One affinity is suing another atrial ty," replied the other. A CONFESSION. Barber-Why. your face is all carved up! What mutton-headed idiot shaved you last? Patient I shaved myself! It's the Price. It Is not looks that make the style. That nil the fashion books; The atmbonnet has got the peach- Dasket plum' out for looks. HI. Difficulty. "Jinks seems to be having a haro pull to get along." "His hard pull is just the reason bt can't get on." "How do you make that out?" "Because he's a dentist." Steep, Indeed. Gunner The milliners have named a new fall hat tho "Cook hat." Thej are going to bo two feet high." Guyer I I'm that's nothing like ai high as the prices. Hardly That Kind. 'Top, tell me one thing." "Yea, my son." "When they want pets on board ol ships, do they take old sea dogs?" r r. j 1 ffiyjaSSs Boxes and Cases of Tapestry, Silk When the great ships from over tho Ki-a unload their treasures at tliQ wharves, feminine Interest is all a-flutter for 11 first glimpse into the alur Ink, mysterious boxes. And small wonder that a woman loses her heart over tho lovely things brought forth from tho depths of the great cases, for they are wonderfully dainty when arrayed so attractively in tho win dows and showcases of our smart shops. Among tho novelties Just over from Put is is tho tapestry work bags, Imxes and picture frames, and nil manner of useful nnd pretty things, of course they aro expensive who tvt r taw a Paris novelty that was not? But tho woman with clever lin gers nnd a little spare tlino never needs to be discouraged over these prires, for rho knows that-for a sur prisingly small sum fha can copy the things displayed, with excellent re sults. Good taste In choosing mate rials and liRlitiU'ss of touch In sewing re all that is necessary. In tho sketch aro shown a number of useful boxes which tho dainty wo man loves to have about to hold her little dress accessories. These little trifles of dress may bo kept fresh and new looking for a much longer time if they are well cared for, and each hns Its box or bag in which to be placed when not in use. Any shaped pasteboard box that one wishes, a bit of pretty tapestry or cre tonne, a piece of silk for lining, and old gold galoon for binding are tho only materials needed for the most at tractive tapestry work. It does not take long to cover a box, and those who have only a little time In the evening for faecy work will find It SLEEVES OF ALL LENGTHS No One Rule Has Been Laid Down Concerning This Part of the Costume. It is a happy fashion that allows a woman to wear her eIccvo of any length. This Is true this season. Evi dently wo are not to have ono rule which must not be broken. Tho full puff to the elbow, finished with a ruffle, seems to bo tho only sleeve that Is not allowable. All other kinds are permitted. The long mousquetalre Is In fashion, but It Is a trifle second class even in afternoon frocks. It has been modi fled to a wider shape that docs not hug the arm fo closely, nnd has more grace than the former plpestem. Possibly the preferred sleeve for evening is the one that Is almost straight from shoulder to elbow, is of transparent fabric nnd usually differ ent from that used In the gown. Tho modified lego'-mutton will be highly in favor for cloth sleeves. There Is a slight fullness at tho el bow, but tho sleeve is cut In one length from shoulder to wrist, and not divided nt tho elbow. As yet there is no evidence of tho huge puff at the top attached to tho long, tight cuff. The Black and White Gown. As soon as dark colors came Into fashion the conservative designers went In heavily for all black with a touch of white. There is no gainsay ing the elegance of tho black gown, unless It Is made of cheap materials thnt do not take a good dye. Black that Is really black Is worth the buying. In a good material It serves season after Benson. It never gives the beholder a chance to re member tho date of Its first season, for It Is inconsplclous. Tho woman who must be economical finds it her safest choice. She knows that by touching it up with different lace, a bit of gold or silver net, a few yards of velvet or satin ribbon, she can brighten and change it Weighted Tapes. Women who find they must weight down the edges of skirts, and especial ly coats, will And the weighted tape, which comes by the yard, a boon and a blessing. Those who object to tapo showing even at tho skirt hem can place It in the hem. In the coat It is put be tween lining and outer material, as tho ordinary weights are. Use of Gold Lace. Gauzy gold lace is a favorite com bination in the evening gowns of di aphanous fabrlcB for tho tiny sleeve ind tucker, which tho smartest mod- Is show. A b'nek liberty satin prin cess gown, bo finished, Is ono of tho cason's bet models. Lined and Trimmed with Gold Galoon. ino.st enjoyable results are so quick ly attained. To make any of the boxes, proruro a pasteboard box of tho desired shape, cut out pieces of tapestry to lit each section, lieir.g careful to select the prettiest parts of the goods, nnd baste each on the box, near the edge. If the pasteboard la heavy, then it will be better to paste the goods on near the edge, using n white, strong paste. The lining is put en in the samo way. Then the gold galoon is put on over all the-edges us n finish, sewing down on each edge w ith very small stitches. All' covers are ovcrhnnded on after tho galoon is applied. The fancy shaped sewing box In tho lower left hand corner is made of pieces of pasteboard, cut out, the low er edges smaller than tho upper, and the tides are slanted. The sides are held together with narrow slips of pa per nnd nulled gum arable. The cov er is simply a squnro of pasteboard, tapestry covered. Tho veil or glovo case In the upper right hand corner is made of two boy covers. In tho lower right band coiner Is a llttlo jewel box, covered In tho same way as tho others. Tho llttlo tray is composed of a box cover with several divisions mado by covering strips of cardboard with the lining material tho strips just fitting in tight enough to hold in place. A ribbon nnd necktie holder Is sketched In tho upper left hnnd cor ner. A collar box and a little divid ed holder for side combs, shell orna ments and hairpins, are also shotm. All the boxes have perfumed pais un der tho lining. They are attractive little boudoir accessories, theso French trifles, and remind one of the dainty dames of long ago. IN DARK DAYS OF AUTUMN Shantung Costume, Light In Weight, Is the Most Appropriate Garniture. Something that Is light In weight, but not in color generally Is required In autumn, and for this, nothing enn be better than shantung In a rich, dark shado of heliotrope. The skirt of our model Is quite plain nnd Just touches tho ground. The coat Is open up each side and Is trimmed with straps of shantung and silk tasseled ornaments; shaped pieces are carried over each shoulder, and tho collar and cuffs are faced with velvet; silk cord ornaments are used for fastening fronts. Hat of heliotrope chip, trimmed with roses of a lighter tone and rib bon velvet. Materials required for tho costume: 12 yards 34 Inches wldo, ' yard vel vet, 8 tasseled ornaments, 3 silk orna ments for front. Matting I. Effective. When the floor Is in poor condition and must be covered, If there are no rugs for It entirely plain matting Is not to bo despised. It wears better than many of tho "fillings," that Bhow soil as well as every particle of dust When It becomes necessary to cleans, the matting it should be dono with rait water. Instead ol soap. i X m - "Ain't she all right, Maria?" "You might say something nice t me, once In a while, Bob." CURED ITCHING - HUMOR. Big, Painful Swelling. Broke and Old -. Not Heal Suffered 3 Year. Tortures Yield to Cuticura. "Little black swellings wero scat tcrcd over my face and neck and they would leave llttlo black scars that would Itch so I couldn't keep from scratching them. Larger swellings would appear and my clothes would Btlcktotho sores. I went to a doctor, but tho troublo only got worse. By this tlmo it was all over my arms and tho upper part of my body in swellings ns largo as a dollar. It v. as so pain ful that I could not bear to lie on my back. The second doctor stopped the swellings, but when they broke the places would not heal. I bought a set of tho Cuticura Remedies and in less than a week somo of tho places were nearly well. I continued until I had used three sets, and now I nm sound nnd well. Tho disease lasted three years. O. L. Wilson, Puryear, Tenn., Feb. 8. 1908." fuller Drug A Cbcm.

Mrs. (Juilltmer enme tiptoeing softlj Into her husband's study, rested a hand lightly on his shoulder nnd peered over at the sheaf of half-writ ten sheets on his desk. "What are you working on now, dearest?" slio asked gently. "On Mary's mittens," ho answered pleasantly, but without looking up. Mrs. Qullluser studied a moment, ai if planning. "Dearest, Wllllo needs 1 pair of shoes more than Mary doea the mittens. I havo already promised them to tho poor boy. Hadn't you bet ter work on Willlo's shoes first, dcart" "All right, Nelllo, all right," he r piled kindly, turning his eyes up into Nellie's great patient ones. Then he. pushed back "An Ode ta the Dancing Leaves" and cheerfully began to write a Sunday special on 'A New Substitute for Coal." Puclt Government Sanatoria.

In pleading cause b. bad difficulty In seeing ifa notes, and In order properly to disciher his man uscript kept holding hi, paper farther and farther off.
