' fact, that was the c ruse of all the trou- ble. His ideas were i‘bf the old fashion— ed school, and he had given very little thought to-the new woman. . He entered a cafeteria, because he was in a hurry and felt that he‘did'not have the time to patronize a restaurant where waiters are thrown in, without extra charge. He made up his mind what he want- ed pretty promptly, but there was a hitch when it came to getting it. Four times his idea of what was dueto the bloomer sex led him to give up his place in line and begin all over again, and not once was he thanked for it. He was about due for, the fifth time when one of the girls behind the coun- ter took pity on him and asked what he wanted before he had time to get out of line. At the coffee counter his deference to the fair sex held him back for some- thing like fifteen minutes, but he final- ly reached a table. Then he went after water. He filled a glass and noticed a young woman standing beside him. He offered it to her, and she took it and returned to her table. He filled another glass and cour- teously handed that to another young time. He went on filling glasses, and young women and old women seemed almost to rise from the flOor to take them. He could not think of marching away with a glass of water himself while a lady was waiting to get one. It , would be manifestly impolite. But, well, he finally had to shut his eyes and pretend no woman was wait- , ing, in order to get away without doing violence to his idea of courtesy. And then he found that a woman had calmly pushed his things away and taken the seat he had reserved for himself at one of the tables; and his coffee was cold, too. ' This explains, thinks the Chicago Post. why he has decided that the old- fashioned ideas of courtesy are outlaw- .ed by bloomers, bicycles and business. HIS QUAKEIFléLINGO FAILED- Tramps Limited 'Know1edge Loses _Him Cash. “Wilt thee give me a little food?” said a delapidated looking tramp to a good old lady who was standing in the door of 'a residence on Capitol Hill last Tues- day evening. :The old lady was of a Pennsylvania Quaker family, and her heart warmed toward the needy stran- ger at once. ' “Certainly, my poor man. - Go to the basement door, and I’ll help thee ;” and she hurried downstairs to have the ser- vant girl get together some luncheon - 1‘ and after getting away with two large sandwiches, a piece of pie and acup of tea, the man began in a pleading voice again: “Wilt thee be kind enough to give me a little money to help me on my way home—Philadelphia?” “I would willingly, my poor man,” responded the lady; “but I have no money with me. But wait,” asathought seemed to strike her: “I’ll give thee a note to my son, at his office, down town.” ‘ The tramp failed to get the note, however, for his next question brought ' the interview to an abrupt end: “Where will I find thou‘s son?”— Washington Star.

Asleep on Their Beats. “Police officers frequently go to sleep while patrolling their beats,” was the information volunteered by a well- known member of the police force, “es- pecially during the couple of hours that precede daylight. They have no idea of hoo'dling, either. Only a short time ago I knew of an oflicer whose beat did not extend south of Pennsylvania ave. on Fourteenth street, who, while ' asleep, walked all the way down along that street to the Long Bridge. When he awoke he was within ten feet of a locomotive coming across the bridge, and was so frightened that he did not find his way back for nearly an hour. I know of another case, and heard the story from the oflicer himself, who wan- dered all the way along E street from Fifth street northeast to Judiciary square. He got all mixed up in the square, and actually had to ask some one where he was before he could find his way back to his beat. Of course, thereare officers occasionally who set- tle down for a quiet snooze, but the cases I speak of are those who actually and without any intention or desire go asleep while they are walking about.” —Washington Star.

Published by special arrangement with the New York Sun. . Fashidns in dress are never so fascin— ating or quite so tantalizing as they are at this time of year when with the first. premonition of summer they blossom' out like the flowers in such rapid suc- cession that any satisfactory selection ‘amid so many pretty styles seems to be a difficult task. ‘ ’ This season surpasses all others in the variety of modes and all their elegant accessories, which are. certainly the dominating feature of the present fash- ions and we can only wonder what will come next and tentatively consider each new suggestion as it may apply to our special needs. Individuality in dress has a wide field in the midst of all this profusion, and the woman who is fortu- nate to possess good taste can surely make a fashionable as well as artistic success of her summer outfit. With the diminished sleeve, which is the most marked characteristic of the spring fashions, and the moderately full skirts, exaggeration seems to have ceased, and the outlines of fashion were never prettier than they are now. The best fitting skirts are out without the godet effect in front, fit closely around the hips, with all the fulness at the back either gathered or laid in three box plaits at the waist, and flare out prettily all around the bottom. The new sleeve shows unlimited variety, and may be exactly what the wearer or the dressmaker chooses to have it, ei- ther small or medium large, whichever is most becoming. Besides being small, it is very much elongated by points at the wrist and frills of lace falling over the hand. , Cycling is certainly about the most ungraceful form of sport that women have as yet taken up, and that dress and carriage are far more important sub- jects for consideration than is common- ly supposed is apparent when you view the army of inappropriately attired women wheeling. The majority of them apparently have never given the subject of suitable dress a second thought. Any old skirt of dark material is shortened for use, and the effect in most cases is simply ludicrous. Neat, trim, perfectly dressed women are decidedly the exception, which seems unnecessary with the pres- ent variety of bicycle dresses from which to choose. Monotony no longer rules the kingdom of bicycle dress, and there are as many different styles among the costumes as there are in any other branch of fashion. New inventions of the bifurcated styles of skirt are constantly cropping up, and they improve enough to justify the time and thought expended on .“ ‘ J .1‘: '\ «fig? 1 -. :: .-. \‘4 \ A A, ..

It had a music box arrangement attached to it, just like many other articles of furniture are made.

I felt for that key but couldn’t find it, and I got my lamp and looked for it, the music keeping right on playing all the time, but I couldn’t find it and the first thing I knew it broke out louder than ever; it had come to some sort of . a bell attachment that it had and was making twice as much noise as it did at first. and the only thing I got in my bag was the thermometer, which I’d wished I’d never seen ‘ at all, and which I’d dropped in the bag when the first sur- prise struck me. “I took another quick look over the chair with the lamp, but I couldn’t find the key and of course there wasn’t any- thing for me to do but go away, which I did. The last I heard of the chair, as I went through the cellar window, it had busted out in some new direction 3‘ and was booming away like a brass band. «cc-'4 A STORY OF SPAIN. A Lover who Curries Of! His Inamorata’l Mother by ltIlstake. w ish ipeasant, whose tiny farm is near Sabas, Galicia. largest shop in Sabas. Carmen was willing, but the widow thought such a handsome girl ought to marry money. so she withheld 'her consent, to break off the match. All efforts of the lovers to meet proved vain. Jose heard that a. young grocery- man from the next town was trying to marry Carmen. His friends told him he must get her then or not at all. So he resolved upon a bold Galician scheme to seize her and make her his at once. The, evening of April 13 was the time and the bed chamber of Carmen was the place for the execution of the plot. He climbed up to the bed chamber win- dow after everybody in the house was asleep and unlatched the door leading down to the street. He grasped the white clad figure that he found on the bed tight in his arms and hurried from the house across the fields. “I am going to the priest,” he repeat- ed several times, to rouse her from the silence which fright had laid on her tongue. There was two or three sobs that made Jose's heart stand still, and then an outcry that caused him to drop the whiteclad figure hastily. He lit a match and saw before him not Carmen, but Carmen’s mother. He started away on a run, but Carmen’s mother had recog- nized him, and she began to scream for his arrest. The night watchman of Sebas came; Jose was arrested. On April 18 he was sent to'the penitentiary by the criminal cOurt of the district and on April 19, which was Sunday, Carmen’s betrothal to his rival was announced in the Sebas church. The Madrid papers published the story on April 2-2. PINS USED LONG AGO. Cave Dwellers Used Them, and Possibly Eve Improvised Them of Thorn. Pins are, as the saying goes, as old as the ,hills. In some form or another they have been in existence ever since our first parents clothed themselves in fig leaves, which grew wild in the Gar- den of Eden. As a. matter of fact, pins claim a very high antiquity, the earliest form being the natural thorn, which is still used to some extent by the peasant women of Upper Egypt. In prehistoric times pins were also made of the small bones of fish and animals. Among the remains of the lake dwell- ers of Europe have been found bronze pins and bronze brooches, in which the pins form the preminent feature, many of which are highly ornamented and veryébeautiful. A few copper and one iron pin have also been found. It is es- timated that 10,000 pins have been col- lected at thelacustrinestation of Switz- erland alone. Afew of these have double stems, and were probably'used as hair- pins. Three have been fouud at Pes- chiere, which are exactly the same in form as the safety pins of the present time. ' ' Among the single stem pins are many ingenious devices for preventing the spike from passing entirely through the cloth or other material it is used for fastening together. Many of them are so formed that they are thicker in some places than in others. A large number, both of bone and bronze, had the head formed of a loose ring passed through an eye in the pm. A few of them have the appearance of a scarf pin now in use. In Egypt, pins with gold heads Rome bronze pi s and bone hairpins with ornamental heads have'been dis. covered among relics of Pompeii,— Bzooklyn E :‘gle.

If you will observe -it carefully you will note that it fits like a. glove (and a saddle shoull not). It presses the sen- sitive parts, causes sorc- ness, stiffness and chaf- ing, and has made cycl- ing to a certain extent injurious, because few could enjoy a long ride without fear of injury. All this is now changed. Here is repre- sented the perfect saddle—the Christy Anatomical Saddle, a .a ., _jthepelvis asit f ‘~ :;.;:s on the pads.
