When Jack Harris was mustered out of the army at Fort Leavenworth in 1865, he had $169 pay coming to him. An auction sale of mules was in progress and he invested the greater part of his money in five big animals and afterwarl picked up a wagon and some I harness. Then he drove to Franklin County, where he traded part of his plunder for , eighty acres of land. He kept two mules and the wagon and became a freighter. One evening when he had unloaded at Ottawa a lot of 6tuff which he had L hauled from Kansas City, it was sug5 trpRtpfl to him that he misrht eet a job of hauling from a young man who. had bought a lot and was preparing to put up a store building. He struck the stranger for the work and secured i it, hauling goods and lumber for him 1 from Lawrence. The 6tranger was a liberal sort of a man, and the future candidate for Congress was greatly pleased with him. One day he drove to his father's farm and greeted his sister with: "Sister, I've found a fellow for | you!" "Oh, go off, Jack!" the young girl said, "I want no fellow." About a year afterward he took his friend out to the farm to visit over Sunday. Sure enough, young Harris had guessed it right, and the young 1 storekeeper and "sister" after a while made a match of it. Years rolled by and the two brothers-in-law, etili fast friends, became presidents of rival banks in Ottawa, and the other day at Lawrence, Har, ris had the active support and counsel of his brother-in-law in his strufr gle for the Congressional nomination. His name is Horace J. Smith. ? Kansas City Star. I A Strange Coincidence. Austin Corbin, who was killed ii the runaway accident at Newport, N, H., was of Connecticut stock, hii father having been born at Somers. Conn. Dr. L. E. Bichardson, o: Hartford, and Austin Corbin wereschoolboys together, both having been born in that town and resided there until they reached manhood. Dr. Bichardson, in speaking of his old schoolmate, related an incident of I especial interest, in view of the cause of the death of Mr. Corbin. Ab has been stated in the accounts of last I Thursday's accident, the Corbin home, stead is located on a hill, the town roadway being at a base along the side of Sugar Biver.

In being driven down to the roadway the horses started, throwing the occapanta of the carriage against I a stonewall. Mr. Corbin and his coachman were killed. When Austin Corbin was a boy of sixteen he was run away with by a horse down the same driveway and thrown against the stone wall. One leg was fractured in two places, and his head and body were badly bruised. He was attended ty Dr. John L. Sweet, with whom Dr. Richardson afterward studied, and who is still in practice at Newport, at the age of eighty-six. Young Corbin was thought to oe fatally hurt, but recovered after being disabled for a long time.?Hartford (Conn.) Times. HEEDLESS WOMEN. They Pay a Sad Penalty for Their Neglect.

' -? ?v _-!H_ edging ana aecoratea witn green shk cord over 6teel buttons, and ribbon belt with rosette, bow and ends at the left side. The waist is characterized by simplicity of construction and its dressy effect, and can be finished without the bretelle collar if desired. The fullness is gathered top and bottom and arranged over fitted body linings to blouse slightly in front, closing invisibly in centre back. The bretelle collar is slashed at the shoulder, forming graceful tabs over the puffed sleeves, knotted loops oi the cord being caught by buttons over the front and on the shoulders as shown. A standing collar having tabs in front fitishes the neck. The full puffs are slightly mounted at the top of fitted sleeve lining faced to the elbowB with material, the wrists being plainly completed. The full round skirt is gathered at the top and joined to lower ft Pi w GIRLS' edge* of waist, the placket bcins formed in centre back.

For those who reluseto give up the pretty parting of the hair, the Napoleon cue will be permitted. The parted hair is puffed fully over the ears and so drawn loosely to the back, where it is braided. The braid is allowed to hang well on the nape of the neck, is then turned under, and a ! large "cue" bow is placed juet where it will hold the hair firmly into the curve of the head. This same bow is often made so wide that it shows coquettishly from the front at either side, as did the bowB worn a little while ago on collars. For added dressiness a white comb is set at the top of the braid, and appears over the top of the head from the front, giving the effect of height and the jaunty touch that has so often been confusing with the demureness of the recent pretty side curls.
