about the plo ho had eaten fur dinner
"Calm > otirsolf ! " said Smiling Stove
"and toll mo where it bit you. "
Steve IUIH boon throwing keys a' '

how to burn the hoofers.
"Hit mo ! bit me ! " dnarled the ok

'nothing of the kind , sir ! I want yoi

"Cut it out ! " suggested Stovo.
"Cut it out , air ; how can 1 out It out

"With the exception of $31.72 , bal-

"I'll see the proprietor , " caJd the old
; uy , moving away with a face on him
ike four dollars in bad money.
" \Vo got it good and plenty every
lay , " said Steve , and just then somc-
hlng about six feet tall , wearing
ilouch hat and a gilt mustache fell
igalnBt the counter , grabbed the rcgis-
or and burled a stub pen in Us pages.
After looking over the result , 1 de-

n the register.
"Hath ? " eiucrled Steve.
"Only during a hot wave , " said
Ikate.
Steve went to the ropea , but ho
amo up Bmilfni ; , as usual.
"American or European ? " asked
Jtovo.
"Neither , " said Skate. "Don't you
eo I'm fiom Jersey City ? "
"Going to bo with us long ? " inquired
Hove.
"Say , Hub ! you're hellanall on aak-
tig questions , now ain't you ? " an-
weretl Skate. "You Just push me Into
stall and lock the gate I'm tired. "
"Front ! show tbis gentleman to
9 ! " said SKeve , side-stepping to avoid
unishmcnt.
Then Sweet William , the Hey Drum
mer , hopped Into the ring for the next
round.
Willie peddles pickles for the fun
ho gets out of it.
It is Willie's Joy and delight to
jot a ginger-ale bun on and recite
"Osier Joe. "
When trained down to 95 fiat , Willie
can get up and beat the clapper oft
'Curfew Shall Not King To-night"
When Willie gets a strangle-hold on
'Sherldan'b RIelo" you can hear horses
galloping outside.
It's the rest of the community get
ting out of htirm'H way.
"Any mall ? " Inquired Willie.
All the mail that Willie ever gcta is
"Struck Hi Feet Upon the Brass
Rail. "
a postal card fiom the plcklo factory
every two weeks asking him if Iho
people along hia route have all lout
their aupetlteH.
"No literature for you , " Steve an-
owcrod.
"Strange. " said Willlo , "my lady
frlondb are very romlsa , urcn't they ? "
"Yea , It looks like they were out to
drop you behind the piano , " said
Stove.
Willie tore oft A short rabbit laugh ,
and then Inquired what time the next
train left for New York.
The plcklo factory expects Willlo
to make I'ocomofco City , Hquashtown
Junction and Nubblnsvlllo before next
Sunday , so ho tossed the train gag
Jjet to iihow Steve that ho knows
tbrrp's u place e-allcd Now York.
"At 7:45 : over the ) D. . I , . & Q. . " said
Bttce.
"What's the next ? " Inquired Willie.
"At 8:10 : over the 11. , U. & N. . "
Bftjvo answered.
"Which gets there first ? " Willlo
"Tho engineer , " sighed'Stove.
"Oh , you droll chap , " said the pick
lo-pushor ; "give mo some tooth-picks. '
Then Swoct William'went over tc
big window , bun owed lute ) u bit
t'lialr , stuck his feet up on the bras-
rail , ate toothpicks , tuiil thought he
was IT.
When 1 got back to Steve he was
dealing out the cards to a lady from
Hoadlng , Pa.
Her husband had been up In the
air with a bum automobile , and when
ho came down he was several sections
shy.
shy.They found a monkey-wrench lin-
brddod in his left shoulder which he
couldn't rpmernbor using when he :
tried to fix the machine.
She was traveling for his health.
"My room Is Immediately over the
kitchen , " she Informed Stovo.
"Tho cook hasn't rnado a kick up to
now , " Stove went back at her.
"Hut they've been frying onions
over since wo teiok the room yester
day afternoon , " she snapped.
"Yes , madam , " chortled smiling
Steve , "this Is a local option town ,
and the onion is the only pickle that's
allowed to appear in public. " *
She started a get-back , but her In
dignation choked her , so she gave
Steve the society sting with both eyes
and flounced out.
Stove bit the end off a penholder
und said the rest internally.
Just then a couple of troupers
trailed in.
They were with the "Bandit's Bride
Co. " and the way had been long and
weary.
"What have you got double ? "
isked the villain of the piece !
"Two dollars and up ! " said Stevo.
"Nothing bettor ? " inquired Low
-onipdy. lie was making a crack , but
lobody caught him.
"Four dollars , with bath , " Steve sug
gested.
"Hoard ? " asked the villain.
"Nothing but sloops and a fresh
: ako of soap , " said Steve.
"Ring down ! " Low Comedy put In.
Began to Let a Peep Out of Him. "
Why , wo lived a whole week In Pltts-
nirg for less than that. "
"You can turn the same trick hero
f you carry your own choke and sleep
n the park , " said Steve.
"What's the name of this mint ? "
sked the villain.
Steve told Mm.
"To the tow-path ! " said Barrett
lacroady ; "we'reoutside the lifelines.
Ve thought It was the Llverwurst heel -
el , whore they throw things at your
ppetito for $1 a day , double. To
he left , wheel ! Forward , march ! "
1 followed these two troupers out
o the dingy barroom , because the
nomont 1 saw thorn I knew it was a
inch they'd pull some wheezes that
hat would hand mo a couple of guffs.
"Tho woods for ours ! Isn't this a
bird of a place for a show to get
stranded ? " groaned the low comic , na
ho gave the Rouh bartender the high
sign , and the latter pushed forward
two gliiKKP * and a black bottle.
"It wouldn't have been so bad if the
show hud gone to pieces In some burg
whore the people have insomnia in
the daytime. " the Juvenile growled.
"Hut here , Mike , the men go to work
In their pajamas , and the town has
n't any street , ears because the con
ductor's boll sounds too much like an
alarm-clock , and It might _ wake the
mayor. "
1 think that will hold you for tonight -
night , Hunch. It's enough for me ,
and If I'm strong enough to-morrow
I'll hand yon the balance.
Same as ever ,

Secret Prison Writing.
A remarkable secret writing ot the
prisons has been brought to notice In
Germany by Prof. Gross. A well-
moistened sheet of writing paper is
laid on a hard , smooth surface under
a dry shoot , a hard point being then
used to write on the latter , which then
at once destroyed. The writing , which
dlb-appuara from the bottom sheet on
gradually drying , reappears distinct
ly as often as thu sheet Is moistened.

ro finished with insertion , edged with pleated lace.
The third garment is composed of flouncing embroidery , the plain part of
ic center pieces being tucked , the edge of the side embroidery being laid over
10 plain. The sleeves are arranged in the same way. The deep pointed col-
ir is of plain muslin , edged with a frill of lace.
MAKES USEFUL LITTLE WRAP.
Bolero in New Style Easily Made Up
In Crochet Work.
This useful llttlo wrap Is quite easy
to make. Any kind of wool and a suit
able hook ( tricolor ) may bo used. If
Andaluslan and n No. 12 hook , about
tlve ounces of wool will bo required.
Work a chain of 16 inches ; on this
chain work plain tricot for seven
Inches.
Work off each stitch separately like
double crochet for eight inches , and
the remainder of the row in tricot as
before.
Work two moro short rows of tricot
like the last ; on completing the last
row make as many ehalu-stltchea as
will bring the work to its original
length.
Continue working long rows as at
first for 22 Inches , or moro if for
stout person.
Work off the same number ot
stitches for the armholes as before ,
repeat the short rows and work a sec'
and front to match the first , each
stitch of the last row to be worked off
separately llko double crochet ; fasten
off.
Fold the fronts over , and sow'or
crochet the shoulder pieces together.
Work a row of double crochet round
the armholoB , taking up the back top
thread and the thread which lies im
mediately below it ; this will counter'
act the tendency to curl which the
tricot-stitch generally has.
Last row : Work a double orochet
In the first of last row , pass ono , a
treble In next , * , flvo chain , back into
first , another treble in same place as
htst. repeat from * twice moro , pass
ono , double crochet In next , and re
peat all round.
Work this last row all round the
bolero , using the double crochut row
for the fronts if required.
The Use of Braid.
There are white broadcloth costumes
braided In black , but these are rather
too conspicuous to bo favorites with
women who have but few gowns. It is
thought moro desirable to braid a dark
costume with a light colored braid in
order that the braid may bo removed
at some future time and the gown
worn with a contrastUiu coat.
TO CLEAN WHITE WINGS.
Two Preparations That Will Do the
Work Effectively.
Wings are much more difficult to
clean than are the softer feathers ,
such as ostrich and marabou.
You might cover them with a cream
made from naphtha and French chalk ,
allowing it to dry on for a day , and
then brush off. A slight improvement
from nn application of common starch
can be made with cold water and laid
on very thick.
The paste should bo allowed to become >
como quite dry , and perhaps this proc.
ess might answer for your wings if
they are not too much soiled.
In regard to the parasol , you might
get rid of the grease spot by laying on
hot FrencTi chalk. This will dissolve
and absorb the grease. Repeat the
process if necessary. Next , the para ,
HO ! should be opened and then thor
oughly washed with gasoline and
white soap all over Its surface , more
particularly on the soiled places.
Afterward sponge off with clear
gasoline. By going over every part of
the parasol.there will bo no danger of
spots or streaks , and gasoline will not
harm it. Keep away from fire or arti
ficial heat during this process.
What Is to Be In Fashion.
It is quite In keeping with other ten
dencies that sleeves should cease to
give breadth to the shoulders as fig
ures must not bo made to'look top
heavy. Whatever fullness some of
thorn retain Is restricted to that part
of the arm that comes immediately be
low them. Milliners arc even brought
to book with respect to the exceeding
size of their hats which , it is urged ,
do not suit the new mode in dresses ,
but an yet 1 ace no signs of their be
ing moved by liny such arguments.
Waists continue to bo made more or
less short , but there is no particular
care taken to make them look small
as with the hips. On the other hand ,
throata must be made to appear long
and Blender. Not -only are collars
made as close-fitting and high as pos
sible , but they are invariably finished
by a niching of lace or net a fashion
which in the long run comes expensive
as they have to bo continually re
newed. The Dry Goods Guide.
New Curtain Material.
A new drapery material that is
quite inexpensive 19 cents a yard Is
extremely pretty and cool-looking. It
Is not unlike a line scrim or a cotton
voile as to background , and is printed'
in all the prettiest coloilngs , floral ,
conventional and stripes.
It Is called Arabian cloth , and will
bo charming fashioned Into window
curtains and other draperies required
for summer use.
In this material a dull ecru ground
In a design of tulips Is beautiful , and
not loss so , though moro subdued , aie

tones.
Tlght-Flttlng Petticoats.
New petticoats are sold for the latest
sheath dresses and they are made on
the circular plan , so that there will
bo no fullness either at hips or knees
Of course , these who wear the sheath
dress most correctly wear no pettl-
coata whatsoever , hut with thlr.

Near Dead. A
The ship doctor of an English Hn- <
er notified the deathwatch steward , an
Irishman , that n man had died in
stateroom -15. The usual Instructions
to bury the body were given. Some
hours lulor the doctor peeked Into
the room and found that the body was
still there , llu called the Irishman's
attention to the niattor , and the latter
replied :
"I thought you said room 20. 1 \ > at
