TUESDAY OCTOBER 11,1898.
EVE’ S RAMBLINGSH
COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
' THE WOMEN. BY ONE
.. OF THEM.
The second week in October, what
food for thought this period of the
year furnishes. It is like a woman
whose days have reached beyond her
teens, and have, in fact, left the
twenties behind.
There is a'charm of maturity about
her, but there is also a saddening,
clinging, tender regret that lingerSiin
her presence like the scent of a crush-
ed flower, a regret forsthat youth that
will never more be hers.
October, beautiful and radiant as it
is, is not May, the charming autumn
leaves in their myriad, graceful, dash-
ing, colors portend the snowy waste
and the gaunt, bare branches" 1n spectral
silhouettes against a winter sky.
Today the October wOman is charm-
this day and generation has any great
admiration for the antique in human
form. Let a woman keep in October;
November is chill, it encroaches upon
December, and the dying year steals
noiselessly upon it ere she is aware.
Historians may cite instances Of
woman’s power in the thirty to forty
decade of her existance, but it needs
not history to relate her triumphs at
twenty.
Youth, lovely youth, is woman’s
greatest attraction, and, whatever we
may cite to the contrary, the October
woman knows in her heart that she
would infinitely prefer to exchange her
certain domination for a brief period
to the innocent, lovely regency of the
girl in her teens.

It is as hard to kill real love as it is
to find it.
How many women are economical in
the matter of pins ?
Was there ever anything in life just
as you expected it to be ?
Have you ever noticed how much
easier it is to tell a lie than to listen to
one ‘?
= Is there a more absolutely helpless
feeling than to be without a timepiece
of any sort ?
How easy it seems for some people to
make a lot of money and how hard for
others to make a little.
The time when a woman needs a
man’s help the most, is generally when
it is utterly impossible for her to have it.
It is a wise woman who knows how
to be a really agreeable third party,
when a man and another woman are
the other two.
In arranging confectionary artisti-
cally in boxes is there a sly thought
given to the fact that the numerous
tiny bits of paper most decidedly weigh
something?
Do you happen to have among your
acquaintances a woman who eats things
that she does not care for, and which
do not agree with her, just because she
wishes to save them ‘5‘
And now the young man with the
new fall overcoat considers it the height
of imprudence to ever go out without
at least having it on his arm, while the
less fortunate individual talks convinc-
ingly on the foolishness of wearing an
overcoat in such sultry weather. 4
It is all in the way a woman wears
her clothes. Some girls look tre-
mendously distingue in the soft Rough
Rider hats, while others impress the
observer with the idea that they are
wearing one of their brother’s hats
and that it is seven sizes to large for
them.

T HE E vs 111 N GOA ZET 1E
JUDGE KILGORE’S LUCK. an“
Ho}; He Got Ilia Gun, the Chicken and
, the Man He Was After.
111 amusing story, in Which the ta-
bles were cleverly turned, dates from
tip war between the North and the
South. The hero of it was the late
Judge Kilgore. While serving in the
army he Was ordered home to assist
in the capture of some deserters. One
evening he was pursuing his search
in the country, suffering from weari-
ness and hunger—especially hunger.
About dusk he stopped at a house
by the wayside in time to see a woman
removing from the fire a nicely broiled
chicken. The smell of the food joined
forces with his hunger, and he drew
from his pocket 3. Mexican dollar with
which !he was loath to part. It looked
4 as if he would not have to part with
it now, for the woman lefused to sell
the fowl, declaring it to be for a sick
friend.
“I’ll jump you for it, though,” she
said.‘
“What do you mean by that. 7’” asked
the officer.
“I mean that we will see who can
jump farthest from this doorsill out
into the yard. The one that beats
shall have the chicken and the dol-
lar.” -
The hungry officer agreed. The dol-
larwas placed on the dish with the
chicken, the gun rested against the
wall near the door and the stranger
swung his arms and made a tremen-
dous leap.
He recovered himself with difficulty
and turned to see the woman stand-
ing in the doorway, his cocked gun in
her hands with its butt against her
Ihoulder. Her finger was on the trig-
get.
“Now, you just flirt the gravel down
that road, young man, or I’ll make
buzzards’ food of you,” she ejaculated.
There was determination in her eye,
and ball in the gun. The soldier
obeyed her commands with impotent
rage in his heart.
Darkness had fallen in the mean-
time. The soldier spied a gin-house
over in a field, and made for it. He
was tired out, and was thankful to
climb into the loft and sleep. Pres-
ently he was aWakened by voices be-
low. One, a female voice, was telling
a story of a disappointed soldier and
o long jump. In that voice the offi-
cer recognized his acquaintance of the
evening. As she told of his discom-
flture, peal after peal of laughter bore
witness to the humorous character of
the story.
The pairbelow were much engrossed
in each other. The soldier peered
down through a hole in the floor, and
beheld the chicken and the Mexican
dollar full in view. The fallow dip
that lighted the interior showed him
his gun also.
Just as the man below drew the
dish toward him to partake of the
chicken, a big object tumbled through
the hole in the floor, and before the
pair could recover from their astonish-
ment the 'soldier had recovered his
gun. Now the tables were turned.
Bringing the gun into position he ad-
dressed the woman.
“Madam,” he said, “you fiirt the
gravel back home. As for this gen-
tleman, he and I will fiirt the gravel
to the office of the provost marshal,
for he is the deserter after whom I
have been searching for a week.”
Resistance was useless. The wo-
man Went home. The soldier recover-
ed his dollar, ate the chicken, and dc-
livered his prisoner to the provost
'mars-hal.—Youth’s Companion.
MUST DRESS LIKE QUEENS.
Actresses In Thes‘e Rules Pay More Than
Royalty for Their Gowns,
Vienna papers are commenting on
the great cost of actresses’ dresses.
Stage folks who play kings and queens
say they must dress like royalty. Frau
Odillon as Mme Sans. Gene paid $1,200
for her costume and an opera Singer
recently bettered this record by $500.
As a matter of fact, however, real
royalty pays nothing like these prices.
The young Queen of Holland gets
Paris gowns for $40 01' $50. The
Alchduchesses Ma1ie Valelie and Gis-
ela get what they want for from $80
to $160. The German Emp1ess buys
her dresses in Vienna, and pays not
mo1e than $320, while the Empress
best quality for $60.
The Countess Castellane has just
bought a tea gown from Worth for
which she paid $6, 000. It is trimmed
with diamonds and is made of helio-’
trope velvet, crinkled accmding to the
latest fashion. The long, straight front
is of eleam- colored mousseline de sole
and cascades of cream and silk lace.
The front is bordered with a most
exquisite trimming, consisting of a
fluffy jabot of white feathers caught
here and there with diamond orna-
ments. The effect of the diamonds
glistening among the feathers is ex-
quisite. The feathery trimming reach-
es from the shoulder right to the hem
of the gown. The crinkled velvet
sleeve is small and laid in tucks to-
ward the top, and on one shoulder are
a few sprays of velvet purple and
white orchids, and on the othel is a
bunch of violets. The gown has a long
train and an indescribable air of regal
elegance—New York Press.

being now engaged“ 1n canvassing New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, and the more populous centres. Prior to the outrof-town'
canvass here, which will' .soon begin, the ublishers have decided to give the work a. thorough and systematic introduction in each
county to be visited, by distributing a lim ted number of sets to the readers of a leading1 local paper, thus placing a sufficient number of
sets to allow a comparison of the PEO OPLE’S CYCLOPEDII Ail) DIGT IOIIIIV w1t all other cyclopedlas and dictionaries before the
ublic. This plan is sure to result in wide-spread and favorable publicity for the People’ s, which is the Greatest of all Reference

binding. We want these introductory sets to be distributed quickly, andto accomplish this object, it has been decided to make a
