( SI ] r >tOK HEN Mrs. Fletcher went ^TTT^ around to the cat and dog 0 1/1/ O boarding bouse to engage 1 1 accommodations for Jerry i 'WOIT and McGinty for the summer she became very confidential with i ^ the manager. ] "I may as well tell you in the be- < ^Phsianiiig," she said, "that we are in \ r hard luck for the present" j The manager brought down his forefinger against the printed schedule of prices with a thump of determination. "I am 6orry," he said, "but I can- ] , net make a reduction in ray terms on j L account of financial disability *Oh, I don't want you to do that."1 exclaimed Mrs. Fletcher. "I merely mention it so as to induce you to asLsist me in earning a little money that \ will go toward paying Jerry's and Mc- J ~ ~ T linvrt O Villi S eAycuscs. x imic n WW and if you will only help me-a little I W am sure it will work out beautifully. ? I was just telling Mr. Fletcher last L night that I am sure I have a regular talent for inoneymaking. I have never l^^had a chance to prove my ability, but am sure I've got it. That is more p than Mr. Fletcher has. He lost $1000 in Wall Street last month. That is the reason we are so hard up now. Since then I have been coaxing him to let me take charge of all his business ven. tures for a while and see if I can't L straighten things out. but he won't do B It. Men are so stubborn where the Hr rights of women are concerned. Howt ever, be can't prevent my turning an ' * i- nPFr, -,r-c- til of 1 gHV fJLlXU ptriili(y 111 liuudcx:uiu auuao ium?.

Mrs. Fletcher looked at th^ manager F appealingly. "Well, no. I suppose j not" he replied, in doubtful confirma' tion of her opinion. "But I don't see , bow you expect to manage it. What W trade, may I ask, have Jerry and Mc^ Ginty become proficient in?" "Oh. of course, they have no real ^^ftrade." explained Mrs. Fietcher. "I S^Kntend to turn them into artists' modW els." F The manager's answering smile lacked enthusiasm. "I am afraid I * cannot give you much encouragement," he said. "We do a little of that sort of thing occasionally, but?" "Of course you do that sort of thing." ^ fvrnke in Mrs. Fletcher, impatiently. . "You do a good deal of it. I know-all 1 about it. I read it in the Sunday pa- j per. You don't know how helpful ( those Sunday specials are. Why. half the animal painters and photographers ^ I! in tewn get their models from eat and dog boarding houses. Since these happen to be the supply depots for models there is no reason why Jerry and McGftnty should not be rented out as well _ as the other animals. You have none ( In stock, I am sure, that can touch them in form and pedigree. Now, , I what I want to do is to work up a 'J tn>de among the artists. I think I , shall have to let you do that. You ] I know so much better than I how to go ? I about such things. However. I should ft. like to offer a few suggestions of my l^own. I think it would be well to ndE^Jvertise Jerry and MeGinty.

All , Satire expenses of such advertising will. , ^of course, be defrayed out of the money earned by Jerry and McGintv when j I tbey get to work. Your own charges , I for their board and for the manage- ( I inent of the scheme will likewise bp I deducted from their earnings, and , | whatever is left you may turn over to ' | me at the end of the season. Of course ( I don't expect to nave muen or a oaiance left for myself, but it will be enough to show Mr. Fletcher that my ( head is leveler than his. and tliat I know how to make money if I can only get n chance." The manager was diplomatic. He did not express complete confidence in Mrs. Fletcher's plan for increasing the family exchequer, but at the same time he was careful not to denounce it as wholly impracticable. Mrs. Fletcher, finding no obstacles in the way of , the accomplishment of her designs. ' finally closed a bargain with the manager. and the next day Jerry and MoGinty became guests at his establishment. During the summer months Mrs. Fletcher traveled afar from New York, and her communications with the manager of the boarding house were disconnected. Last week she returned. Her first thought, after greet_ ing Mr. Fletcher was of Jerry and Mc~ Ginty. "Have you been down to see those I little dears lately?"' she asked. "No," said Fletcher. "I haven't, but I'll make it a point to see them to^Lmorrow. I got a letter from the boss that concern to day that completely ^^noors me. I can't make out what on r earth the fellow is driving at. I've I come to the conclusion he must be I crazy. The thing came in too late for ft jae to so down to-night to see about it but I'll find out to-morrow what he means." Mrs. Fletcher trailed "across the room and beamed upon her husband with a smile of superior wisdom. "I think." she said, "that I may he able A?

"Ferhaps," he said. "See what you can make out of it." Mrs. Fletcher read the communication through three times before speaking. Then she said. "Dear me!" Presently she read the bill aloud. To board of one cat and dog for two months $30.00 To cash expended for newspaper advertising G.30 To cash expended for typewriting 4.00 To cash expended for postage stamps 4.00 To cash expended for miscellaneous clerical work...; 5.00 Total $49.50 Money earned by eat and dog by posing as artists' models 2.00 Balance due! $47.50 Please remit. When Mrs. Fletcher came to she told Fletcher all about her little plan to help him along. "That man." she rried. in conclusion, "is a gigantic fraud. He has cheated me most unmercifully. He didn't wort Jerry and McGinty up right." "It strikes me," said Fletcher, witb another glance at the bill for extras, "that he worked them up a little too tvell." "Then possibly the artists were to Maine," sighed Mrs. Fletcher. "Yes, [ feel sure it was the artists. They liri nnt resnond DroDerly. But no mat ter who was at fault I still have faith in the idea, and I am going to try it igain some day." "If you do?" said Fletcher. His pause was ominous, but after a little he sat down at the writing desk ind signed a check for $47.50.?New i'ork Times. * Branding S Trans. Rather a funny ceremony that is ;one through with every year has iust been accomplished, and that is :he marking of the young swans, or :-ygnets, on the Upper Thames. Its >wans are, of course, a feature of the river after Richmond is passed. Some >f them are owned by the crown, and :he rest by two of the ancient river 'companies," and it is in order to disunguish them that the cygnets fare narked. The swan markers are a picturesque jompany. They wear white flannels, uid can be told apart by their different colored jerseys. Those of tho King's men are scarlet,. those of the Dyers' Company navy blue, and those )f the Vintners' Company blue and ivhite. The markers embark in half i dozen skiffs, at the stern of which 3ies .either the King's flag?a white ield with a crown, and the royal :ipher, "E. R.." or one of tho banner?ttes of the two companies. The party sets out from Molesey '^ock, and after that things are pretty yvely, for the operation of marking .wans, even young swans, is no holilay pastime. The birds fight like 'uries. They are surprisingly strong, oo. and every once in a while one of he markers has an arm or a leg brok;n by a vicious blow from a cygnet's ving. The birds are caught by means )f a hook at the end of a long pole, tnd they are branded on the beak, ntlier with the royal monogram or hat of one of the two companies. Usuilly the man who does the branding leprives the swan marked by him of me of its feathers, which he sticks in lis cap as a trophy. The number of cygnets is smaller han usual this year, on account of lie bad weather and floods which have Prevailed along the river. By the way, lie Thames swans have a reputation 'or viciousness. and folks who have ;een what they can do with their vings and beaks make it a point to jive them a wide berth.?London Correspondence Philadelphia Ledger. "Willi I'otalocs. Charles Darwin saw what is now :ommonly known as the Irish potato growing wild in the Ooriileras in 1S35, ind he gathered anu dried a specimen if tho riinnt and sent the same soon ifter to Professor Henslow, a distinguished botanist at that time living n England. Mr. Darwin then saw and collected material relating to what he regarded is two distinct species of solanum, the ;enus to which the potato belong^. Writing from Valparaiso, under date )f April 18. tho now world-famous naturalist, then a young man, says: 'In the Mendoza bay there are the seeds or berries of what appears to be i small potato plant with a whitish lower. This grew many leagues from where any habitation could ever have existed owing to absence of water.

It must be a distinct species from that of the lower Cordilleras one. "Perhaps as with the banana, distinct species are now not to be distinguished in their varieties produced by cultivation." Even then Charles Darwin had an inkling, perhaps more, of the views by which he afterwards deeply stirred the thinking part of mankind in his statement as to the origin of species. Men "MnitUervants" in London. English housewives?at least several thousand of them?are solving the vexed servant question by engaging men to do the work hitherto allotted to women. It is estimated that in London alone there are upward of 3000 men employed as cooks, "parlflrmaids," "chambermaids," and "maids or an work." The men employed come from the continent, particularly from Switzerland, Germany, France and Italy. It is about a year since this movement was started by an enterprising employment bureau. It had on its books several hundred restaurant waiters in need of jobs, and tne jobs were not to be had. At the same tin'ie there was an unprecedented servant girl famine. With considerable enterprise the agency prevailed upon some women to try the men. The experiinentl haa been in every way a success. New York City.?Capes of all sorts ire to be noted as features of tbe season's waists. Tbe pretty one shown 011 the blouse illustrated is peculiarly BLOUSE WilST WiTH CAPS. f graceful and adds distinction to the design which is both novel and good. The materials selected for the model are violet broadcloth, velvet in a deeper shade and cream lace with trimming of silk braid, but various equally as effective combinations might be suggested and the yoke and cuffs can be made of one material when preferred. The broad box pleat at the front, the slight blouse over the shaped belt and the yoke and gauntlet cuffs are all features "worthy of special mention. The waist lining is smoothly fitted and closes at the centre front. Over it are arranged tbe shaped yoke, the bloused fronts and back and the cape, the waist closing beneath the left edge of the box pleat, the yoke at the left j shoulder seam. Tbe sleeves arc the | latest, with the full puffs above deep I cuffs cut in gauntlet style. At the waist is a belt that is pointed at the front. The quantity of material required for the medium size is four and onehalf yards twenty-one inches wide, four yards twenty-seven inches wide, or two and three-fourth yards fortyfour inches wide, with three-fourth yards of velvet, three-eighth yards of all-over lace and eight yards of braid to trim as illustrated. Two Useful Garment*. j Yokes and j'OKe coaars 01 an sons ! mark the season. Among the newest j are long-6houldered ones that extenfl | over the sleeves. The stylish May Manton waist illustrated in the largo picture shows one of the sort that is intended to give a plastron effect at the front and to form a V at the back. The original, from which the drawing TWO STYLISH was made, is of cream flannel with trimming of fancy braid and handsome buttons, but all waisting materials are appropriate and the designs suits the gown as well i^s the separate blouse. The waist consists of the fitted lining, which can be used or omitted as prej ferred, the fronts and the back, over which the yoke collar is arranged. I Tho hflfk is Dlain. but the fronts are I tucked to yoke depth and blouse slightI ly over the belt. Tbe sleeves are the latest shown and include deep pointed I cuffs above which they form full puffs. I At the neck is a pretty stock, with a suggestion of the clerical idea found In the tab at the front. The quantity of material required for the medium size is five and threeeighth yards twenty-one inches wide,, four and one-lrflf yards twenty-seven inches wide, or two and three-eighth yards forty-four inches wide. Shirt waists made with pointed capes | and detachable tunics are among the latest novelties offered. The one illustrated in the large drawing is made of pale blue veiling with antique lace dyed to match and can be made with the cape and tunic, as illustrated, or plain, as shown in the small sketch, when preferred. When made with tue cape and skirt portions it becomes suited to outdoor as well as indoor I wear, and is appropriate for all the j season's material. When plain it ue| ?oraes a simple shirt waist and is suited to tlie fabrics used for the purpose. The waist consists of the fitted foundation, on which are arranged the fronts and back of the waist proper, the cape, tunic and sleeves. The back jf the waist is plain, but the fronts are tucked from the shoulders to yoke :lepth, so providing becoming fulness iver the bust. The cape is cut in deep points over the shoulders and is square ucross the back. The sleeves are tucked above the elbows and are full below and the Muic is cut iu points at both back and front. The quantity of material required for the medium size is five and onefourth yards twenty-one inches wide, five yards twenty-seven inches wide, or two and ceven-eighth yards fortyfour iuches -vide.

Every bit of headgear has a crown of some kind, higher or lower, as the case may be, but yet a decided elevation above the tlat, far-spreading brim. Perhaps the most artistic shape among the collection is a Duchess of Devonshire in black velvet, with a slight bell crown tour or five inches high. It has, moreover, a gradual flare at the left side, and is dented gracefully here and there to receive the two long plumes, without which 110 "swell" hat is complete this year. New Idea In Woman's Gown. The English, who are not particular. ly goou aressers, nave some excejicm ideas for traveling gowns. An English tailor-has invented a reversible skirt for women who travel much and like to carry as little baggage as possible. The skirt is made of material plain on one side and checked on the other. It can be worn with either surface uppermost, and thus answers the valuablepurpose of two skirts. Another English skirt for mountain wear has buttons and an arrangement for turning up the hem for climbing. "The Bibben Round Her Slender Waist.n The suede belts, wide in the back, so as to drape prettily around the waist, are the newest thing. Large silver or gold rings are used t? join the back to the straight front pieces. These belts are in all colors, but with blue serge the natural suede color is prettiest. In soft kid are some of the newest belts. They may be drawn tight around the waist or left straight, for they are broader in the back than in the front. Belts cf ribbon should be made on boned frames and broad in the back. Plum Color to the Fore. Plum color has come to the forfc again. It combines well with pale blue, and when used on hats forms a good background for pansies. One model of plum-colored rice straw is almost covered with small pansies in different shades. Evening Coats. Evening coats are very voluminous and have enormous sleeves of more or less eccentric tendency. They are collarless and the edge of the lining is trimmed so that the fronts enn be rolled back en revers. A Becoming Color For Gray Hair. Pale blue is considered a becoming color to wear with gra.T hair. A black \elvet bonnet ir a &ort of a toque shape has a definition of pale blue mm ?

As illustrated, however, it is made of blue French flannel stitched with corticelli silk. The double box pleated effect at the front is peculiarly noteworthy and desirable and the points that extend over the yoke are essentially novel. With the waist are worn a linen collar arid n silk tie, but a collar of the material can be substituted if preferred. The waist consists of me smoothly fitted lining, that can be omitted whenever it is undesirable, the fronts, back and yoke. The fronts are laid in wide box pleats with a tuck at each edge, but the back is tucked to simulate box pleats only. The sleeves are ample and form fashionable wide puffs at the wrists, where they arc finished with shaped cuffs.

A woman confined to the house for several years with a chronic female derangement had finally given up hope of being cured. She had tried physician after physician, and remedy after remedy, witnout any permanent improvement. Her treatment had cost her husband who was a poor man hundreds of dollars. They bad been obliged to denv themselves many .comforts of life in. order to get money enough to pay the physicians. The woman haa become weak, nervous and wretched, and scarcely able to keep out of her bed. Her children were growing up neglected and ragged, because of the want of a mother's care. Her husband was becoming discouraged and broken down with overwork. Picking up the paper one day she hap penea to read an item wnicn contained the news that Dr. Hartman would treat such cases free of charge by letter. She immediately wrote the doctor describing her ease, and giving him all her symptoms. She soon received a letter telling her exactly what to do, and what medicines and appliances to get. She began the treatment (the principal remedy being Peruna) at once, and in a few weeks she was well and strong again, able to do her own work. This offer of free home treatment to women is still open to all who may need the services of this eminent physician. > All letters applying for treatment will be promptly answered, and be held strictly confidential. Miss Annie Hoban, Post Pocahontas of Yemassee Council of Red Men (Women's , Branch), writes from 872 Eighth Ave., New York: "Three months ago I was troubled with s backache and a troublesome heaviness 1 about the stomach. Sleep brought me no rest, for it was a restless sleep. The doctor said my nervous system was out of order, but his prescriptions didn't seem to relieve me. I was told that Peruna was pood for building up the nervous system. , After using it for two months I knownow that it is. I want to sav that it made a new woman of me. The torturing sympoil Aft/) T m tr self again. Peruna did me more good than all the other medicines I have taken." ANNIE HOBAN. Miss Mamie Powell, Lake Charles, Louisiana, writes: "I sincerely believe that Peruna is worn- ^ an's best .friend, for it has certainly been that .to me. I had had headaches, backaches and other aches every month for a long time, but short'y after I began tak- * . ing Peruna this was a thine of the past. and I have i;ood reason to be grateful. I take a bottle every spring and fall now. and that keeps my health perfect, and I certainly am more robust now than I have been before and am weighing more. I do , not think any one will be disappointed in the results obtained from the use of Peruna." MISS MAMIE POWELL. . If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartinan, giving a full statement of your ca^e, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice * .? gratis.

No man living can pronounce the English language aright, at all times and in all places, for correctness depends largely on time and place, and sometimes to be right you must be wrong. As soon as you step on shipboard and sail, the horizon, being clear ' and definite, sheds the need for a long "I." and at sea it rhymes with "orizon." In the army a route is'always called a "rdwte." Moreover, the cavalry, by long standing tradition, calls a horse an "orsc,"and the order is "stand . to 'orses." . _ ; /' DKC8MBTB 17. 1903.
