A TELEGRAPHERS STORY
tt Relates to a Wonderful Perform
once of a Hungry Roach
Yes it was a very odd sort of thing
remarked the telegraph operator as he
closed his key but It really happened
You see a fellow who is compelled to
sit alone in a telegraph office during
the long hours of the night gets kinder
lonesome sometimes and grasps the
slightest opportunity of making the
hours go without ennui That is why I
made friends with a big roach that
used to put in an appearance on my
desk It was a big fellow and used to
drop in as it were about the time I
ate my midnight lunch and as the old
fellow never intruded nor endeavored
to get at my lunch I got into the habit
of throwing him odd bits of my lunch
It soon got to be a regular habit and I
managed to secure considerable amuse
ment out of the visits of the roach One
night I was forced to deviate from my
regular habit Work rushed in and I
was unable to get at my lunch at the
regular time The old rascal dropped
in at midnight and took his accustomed
station on the table but after a time he
grew uneasy and ran about the paper
seeking to attract my attention Realiz
ing at last that I was paying no atten
tion to his meanderings he disappear
ed and I went on with my work Just
as I had cleared away my last messaga
I heard a rustling noise at the other
end of the desk and looking to ascep
tain the occasion what did I see but mj
old malodorous friend tugging with nit
his might at my package of lunch Ht
had firmly gripped the string whiclf
tied the parcel and was slowly biv
surely dragging it in my direction Sur
prised I let him tug and pull and a
the expiration of ten minutes the roact
had manged to tug the lunch packet U
my key and he then seeing that I wa
watching him let go the string and
stood panting from his exertions wait
ing my pleasure You can just bet 1
gave him a good feed that night The
old fellow deserved this consideration
He had thought himself forgotten and
had determined to bring the lunch to
my mind and this he had done without
o ersteppiug the bounds of courtesy or
infringing upon our friendship
A Sensation
That the world is coming to an end
suddenly at a given time is not what
is here referred to There are different
kinds of sensations as very many peo
ple know who feel sharp twinges of
pain in the big nerve of the thigh Sci
atica is a very painful sensation and
the torment of it makes one think some
thing is come to an end But just at
the first sensation or twinge is the best
time to use St Jacobs Oil The less
pain the more easily it is cured and
the Oil prevents its development by
soothing the nerve At any stage it will
cure
Must Have Had an Arsenal
The late Gov Henry A Wise of Vir
ginia received from admirers more
than two dozen dragoon pistols and
Colts revolvers said to have been tak
en from John Brown in the engine
house while there are few homes in
West Virginia that do not contain a
rifle pistol and dagger taken from the
man whose body lies moldering in the
ground while his soul goes marching
on There is a dealer in Washington
who has built a block of houses with
money made by selling pistols and
pikes taken from Brown and his sup
plyis still ample for the demand
The Worlds Smallest City
John de Salme is mayor of the small
est city in the world The city the
name of which is Fenton is regularly
incorporated but though it has been
in existence for more than twenty
years it has a population of fewer
than 100 people It is situated about
fifteen miles south of St Louis The
city is a settlement of wealthy busi
ness men of St Louis and has a full
quota of officials none of whom how
ever draws a salary
WOMEN DO NOT TELL THE WHOLE TEUTH
Modest Women Evade Certain Questions When Asked by a Male
Physician but Write Freely to Mrs Pinkham
An eminent physician says that Women are not truthful they will lie
to their physicians This statement should Vir wmon ftn
truth but not the whole truth to a male physician but this is only in regard
to tnose pamrul and troublesome disorders pecu
liar to their sex
There can he no more terrible ordeal to a delicate
sensitive refined woman than to be obliged to an
swer certain questions when those questions are
asked even by her family physician This is espe
cially the case with unmarried women
This is the reason why thousands and thousands of
women are now corresponding- with Mrs Pinkham
To this good woman they can and do give every
symptom so mat she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients through her
correspondence than the physician who per
sonally questions them Perfect confidence and
candor are at once established between Mrs
Pinkham and her patients
Years ago women had no such recourse
Nowadays a modest woman asks help of a
woman who understands women If you suffer
from any form of trouble peculiar to women
write at once to Mrs Pinkham Lynn Mass
and she will advise you free of charge
And the fact that this erreat boon whioh is
extended freely to women by Mrs Pinkham is
appreciated the thousands of letters which are
received by her prove Many such grateful let
ters as the following are constantly pouring in
I was a aufferer from female weakness for
about a year and a half I have tried doctors
and patent medicines but nothing helned mo
I underwent the horrors of local treatment but
received no benefit My ailment was pronounced
ulceration of the womb I suffered from in
tense pains in the womb and ovaries and the
backache was dreadful I had leucorrhoeain
its worst form Finally I grew so weak I had
to keep my bed The pains were so hard as to
almost cause spasms When I could endure the

CURLICTTED WITH BRAID
oiid picture a white silk blouse -held
by a girdle made of three of
white satin ribbon over a stiffened
foundation was beneath a bolero of
original design Its material was
brown cloth white woolen braid trim
ming It as shown and also finishing
the foot of the dress skirt with curli
cues that corresponded to those on the
jacket fronts Handsome gold buttons
set off the girdle This design of braid
Jng is significant of the prevailing ilk-
Quite as many forms of braiding are
in vogue for the bodice as for the skirt
and it is equally essential that there
should be some definite design in the
application of the braid Yoke and
sleeves may be braided so closely in
rows that the material hardly shows
between or yoke and sleeves may be
plain and it may be the rest of the
bodice that is so treated
Altogether braiding is so abundant
that a bodice barred without it is a
welcome change and thus comes the
favor for plaids and striped goods In
the third picture is an example of the
use of striped goods Of almond green
silk striped with dark green it bad an
emerald green velvet yoke banded with
white lace insertion crossed with a
trellis of white silk cord and bordered
with ruflle and rose niching of white
chiffon Its white satin belt was loop
ed at the side Combined with a plain
skirt of almond green cloth a dressy
and tasteful costume resulted and of
a sort of which there will be be
fore the winter ends
Where plaid accomplishes the barred
effect the general finish is usually
much simpler and the colors are fre
quently of the brightest Third in the
row of to days large sketch was an il
lustration of this Skirt and sleevei
were scarlet cashmere the former
trimmed with black velvet
Among the few items of current
fashions that have not been generally
taken up yet that are safe resorts foi
those who like them are a few double
skirt effects and gowns cut princess or
made in simulation of that cut One
curious and rather graceful effect oi
double skirt was shown made with accordion-pleated
skirt of liberty silk
The bodice was a cashmere blouse
belted and extending below the belt
almost to the knees this extension be
ing continued in front to a point that
almost reached the hem of the skirt
A corresponding hem was at the back
A design in braiding passed from un
der the arm to the hem of the bodice
skirt at each side and here on the left
side the bodice fastened Enaulettes
concealed the buttons on the shoulder
of this side The result was sheath
like but it hardly seemed necessary to
bother about all that fastening IJ
would be just as atractive to have the
skirt effect of the bodice an actual
part of the skirt at the band though
free like an overskirt all the rest of
the way and the making would there
by be greatly simplified

Lake Does Not Freeze
There are other wonderful things in
Canadas Yukon country besides gold
nuggets One of the most curious and
at the same time most valuable is Lake
Selawik which according to the Cath
olic Sentinel of Portland owes its dis
covery to Father Tosi a Jesuit mission
ary This lake is described as not far
from Dawson City and it never freezes
over even in the coldest winter This
body of water is sixty miles long by fif
teen in width and while at a great dis
tance from the sea its waters ebb and
flow regularly Lake Selawik is fresh
at all times and owing to the warmth
of the water it becomes in winter a
kind of Mecca for all kinds of fish from
the various streams counecting with the
lake The abundance of salmon and
other fish should prove a boon to the
miners and give a supply of food which
must be very welcome in winter Vic
