"A case of telepathy?" queried the school teacher, laughing, as she seated herself in the comfortable chair, took off her sailor hat, and leaned back restfully. She made a pretty picture in her pink print dress and white collar. "No; something more sure than that. None of those superstitions for me. I dropped my scissors and the point stuck in the floor, and I never knew that to fail to bring company. Then 'twasn't but a little wbile after that my left eyebrow itched. That means Or woman coming.

I'm real glad, though, 'twas you, for you always cheer me up, and I've been dreadful .worried all day." "What has happened, dear Mrs. Perkins?" The teacher's voice was full of sympathy. "Nothing's happened yet. but it's bound to. I sneezed twice before I got up this morning, and that means you'll hear of a death before night. And I'd beeu dreaming of muddy water, and that's ,a sure sign of trouble. Let's set', there was another. Oh, yes. Last night . I saw the , new moon through glass. ^ So the three together have made me fret all day, wondering what was coming. Seems to me I've had my share without anything new, but I suppose I can bear more, for very back is fitted to it's burden, they say." Mrs. Perkins resumed her darning on the ragged heel of a bright red sock. "I have some good new6 to tell you flhont mvself." said the cirl. "Would you like to hear it?" "Yes. I'm always ready to rejoice .with them that rejoice, even if I can't expect any good fortune myself," and the little lady was all attention. "It's simply this," Miss Bridgeford explained, with a pretty blush, "that I'm to resign at the end of this term to be married and go back to live in the city." "I'm real glad, Miss Bridgeford." and there was no mistaking the heartiness of her tone. "I hope you're going to do well. What's the man's name?" "Mr. Bascombe." "Bad, very bad!-' cried Mrs. Perkins, a look of real anxiety overclouding her momentary 6mi!e. "Didn't you ever hear, 44 'Change the name and not the letter, Chance for the worse and n?t the better.' If you've got any other beau I wish you'd reconsider. Now, I might have married Silas Hinman. He was courting me the same time with Melancthon, and a good sight better-looking he was then, too. But I wouldn't have him because my name began with H. I was a Hartwell. Just look at Silas now. He's been in the poorhouse for over five years. Of course. I'm not saying Melancthon and I are any too prosperous, but we own this little place, and he has his pension, and 'Annie has sent us a hundred dollars of her salary every year since she began to te^ch, and 60 we are pretty comfortable." "There isn't a neater, prettier house all the way from the four corners' school to the village," said the girl. "Your garden, too, always looks so I well kept. It must yield you a good deal besides, doesn't it?" "Yes, but it would do a lot better if Melancthon would only put things in in the right time of the moon. But he'll never pay any attention to me about that. 'Twas all his fault that 1 saw the moon through glass last night, fie seems to love to plague me. Say, Miss Bridgeford, do you sweeten your tea before you put in the milk?" "I never drink it," she replied, laughing, and wondering at the irrelevant question. "Well, in case you ever should begin, I'll tell you always to put in the sugar first, or you'll be crossed in love. I'm worried about that name Bascombe, you see. Now, don't look so unbelieving, for I could tell you a lot of cases. There was Miss Springer, who But here's Melancthon coming from the postoffice. Seemed, like T nroif onv Inncpr to know I what that bad news was, and since nobody had come to tell it, it must be in a letter. I made him go earlier'n usual so I could have it over with." S?he old mau greeted Miss Brldgeford cordially, hung his hat^on Its'accufr tomed hook, and prepared leisurely fashion to read the newspaper. Hie wife watched him a moment anxious ly, then asked: "Was that all the mail?" "Oh, no; bless me, no! Here's a let ter from Annie," and he fumbled Id , several pockets. Glancing at Miss Bridgeford, his eye? *Tui?klin<? morrilv hf> Sflld: "MOthei thinks there's trouble coming. She sayf her signs never fail, and she's got some , sign for this, though I've forgottec what If I worried as much as she does, my hair would be whiter than il is now," and he shook the snowy locks that surrounded his rosy face like a t nimbus. Still holding the letter, he continued: "She's broke a dish thif morning, and she said. 'Now I've gel to break three before I'm through.' Sc I said, 'Why not break the other twe right off?' and I went and got two old plates and told her to smash them, and she wouldn't. Don't you think, Miss Bridgeford, that would be a great deal wiser than to spoil two g9od ones?" But his wife was too intenl on the letter to heed his banter. "Why, you've opened it!" she ex 'claimed, as he gave it to her. "Of course. It was addressed to me,'' he replied, with mock dignity. "Oh dear. I dread to read it, there was such 'a lot of muddy water in my dream, and you made me look at the new moon through glass, and I sneezed twice before I got up. Is Annie sick, or has she lost her school?" she whimpered. "Do read it, Mrs. Perkins," said Miss Bridgeford, seeing that Mr.. Perkins did not intend enlightening her. and sorry to witness such a waste of nervous energy. She scanned the lines and drew a long breath of relief. "Isn't this splendid? Just listen. Annie's been promoted to the principalship?a great honor?better salary?and she's going to send us two hundred dollars a yeai now!" Rising to take leave with kind congratulations, the girl looked at Mr. Perkins, expecting some disdainful roforonnA to thf> "sure siens:" but lone experience had taught him better. He knew only too well that these refutations of their efficacy would speedily fade from his wife's memory, and be entirely gone by the time the next ones came. Mrs. Perkins chattered on as she followed her caller out to the steps: "I'm very proud of Annie, Miss Bridgeford. This is her third promotion. In all her years of teaching she has never had a bit of fault found with her work by the superintendent and never lost a day by sickness." Then the force of lifelong custom made her suddenly remember the unknown malignant powers that she believed must be warded off after assertions of good fortune, and exclaiming: "There. I'm boasting!" she quickly stretched htr little withered hand tip to the door frame and rapped three times on wood.?Youth's Compauion. Who Pays the Piper. Free advertising, in the generally accepted sense of that term, says the Columbus Citizen, is not the most desirable kind; but it is nevertheless a fnot that the hulk of nflid news paper advertising costs the advertiser nothing. That is to say, it indirectly returns to him not only the amount invested, but a profit in which the whole community shares. The bulk of newspaper advertising is placed by merchants. The money it costs is paid almost wholly in salaries and incidentals to individuals in the community in which the advertiser re; sides, so that his return is not wholly from the general trade he seeks, but also the injection of this amount of money into the trade of his community, with the result of enlarging it, perpetuating it and multiplying its resources in all forms of industry. The merchant feels the pulse of prosperous or adverse conditions more delicately than almost any other member of the community. Newspapers pay by far the larger portion of expenses in building up the community. Their investment is not nearly as great in machinery, stock and other forms of tangible property as in brains and brawn. That is the reason why money spent with them by local merchants brings two-fold returns in the present and the future. The newspaper is an institution working for the welfare of the community in both material and other respects, in reality makes paid advertising free. The intelligent advertising patron of such a newspaper contributes to the happiness and prosperity of the community at the same time he promotes his own business interests in the present and lays the foundation for greater profits and usefulness in the future. ^ 4 Dollar and a Sovereign. When Lord Coleridge visited America among other places he visited Georgetown. As he and his guide were walking on the banks of the Potomac, Lord Coleridge said to his guide: 'Mr. secretary, do you oeneve tnat Washington chucked a dollar across the Potomac?" "Yes, sir, I do.'' "Why do you believe it?" said the judge, "Well, sir a dollar went much fur' ther in those days than it does now." As they were parting, Lord Coleridge said: "To revert to the question of Washington, you put me off last time. Do you really believe that ho chucked a dollar across the Potomac?" "Well, I can't say, sir. All I know is that he chucked a sovereign across the Atlantic."?London Onlooker. The Cat's Blvals. The cat has long been a pampered pet of society, says a French writer. Fair Persians, uncanny Chinese, half-finished Manses, sleek English tortoiseshells, and lucky black grimalkins have Deen cumvaea as careiuiy or late years as Shorthorns and racehorses and certain breeds of dogs. Pussy has had shows and a society all to herself, and one could name some famous "catteries" belonging to well-known members of society. A great insult is now offered her, however, in that the mouse has become a fashionable pet, and has already attained the distinction of "points." A mouse show is in contemplation, to which every god cat should be taken for a treat New York City.?Long shoulder effects always are becoming to young : girls, and are seen in the latest models for oc^d waists as well as frocks and W WBBU hisses* sjiirx waist. coats. This stylish May Manton shirt waist includes a novel yoke collar that gives the desired drooping line, and also a narrow vest effect at the front As illustrated it is made of white mercerized vesting and is unlined, but all waisting materials are appropriate and the fitted foundation can be used whenever desirable. At the neck is a fancy stock and deep pointed cuffs finish the sleeves. When a plainer waist is desired the yoke collar can be omitted, and the waist made with yoke fronts and plain back as shown in the small cut. The waist consists of the fitted foundation, fronts, back and yoke collar. The fronts are gathered at their upper edges and again at the waist line and -nia rnbo hnt thp hack is olain I UiCCl IUV J VM>, across the- shoulders. The yoke collar is quite separate and is arranged over the waist, the closing being made invisibly. The sleeves are the favorite iones that form full puffs below the elbows and are finished with deep pointed cuffs. The quantity of material required ifor the medium size is fouv and onefourth yards twenty-one inches wide, three and one-half yards twenty-seven A Late Design 1 inches wide or two yards forty-four inches wide. An Interior Gown. An interior gown of pastel heliotrope 1 crepe de chine has a narrowly gored princesse front. Above the waist this is accordion pleated, with a yoke collar arrangement of broad Alencou lace, I and & bertha of the same quite low down on the shoulders, so that in effect it forms epaulettes. The princesse panel is embroidered down the front in wistaria flower and foliage design, out-' lined in silver thread and pansy purple chenille appliqued down on the heliotrope crepe. The full sleeves are gathered into a broad cuff of Alencon lace. The edges of the side gores which come over the princesse front are embroidered with the flowing wistaria pattern, continued as a border around the gown's hem all the way across to the other side and up again. This is in purple chenille, silver thread and shaded green embroidery silks for the foliage. A Dawn-Cloud Effect. With this most unusual blouse is worn a very full white silk net skirt, shirred down half way to the knees. The bottom has four two-inch tucks, each edged with narrow point d'esprit. A long fitted petticoat, which shows plainly through the net, is of rose satin the exact Shade of the velvet in the blouse. A panne velvet girdle is worn with a buckle of rose stones and old silver in art nouveau jewelry. The Selection or DreM Trimming*. Many lovely embroideries, particularly in gold and silver, are shown In the shops, but these must be bought with discretion. A great deal of money can be wasted in this way, and a good frock ruined by inferior accessories. The study of dress is a very difficult subject now, even for the rich, while ordinary folk have much to grumble about. Laoe Tell*. Long lace veils are becoming draped over hats and tied at the side. These are forty-six inches long, and only as wide as the ordinary tulle or net face veil. Dotted net veils of the same size (TV "HttlffraniTiillTlllllwr are edged witL lace, and are ycif. pretty. Summer Fabric*. Sheer cottons in dainty dimities in quaint, old-fashioned cross-bar designs, the finest of batiste;-closely akin to organdy, and printed cottons in pompadour designs are the smartest wash fabrics for the summer nf 1904. The Lace Cuff. Much care is shown in the shaping of the lace cuff, a smart sleeve finish at present. This is no longer the plain, tight cuff of lace, but must fit the arm in militaire effect and also be irregular in outline. The Proper Footwear. Some of the new evening shoes are in gros grain silk, exquisitely embroidered by hand. Lace rosettes embellish them, and silk stockings are worn matching the gown. Skirts a t? Mode. Skirts must be full or they are not fashionable, and the pleats, shirrings and tucking over hips falling in straight lines below continue in great favor. A New Fabric. Messaline is a new fabric that has e had a warm welcome. It combines the | best qualities of crepe de chine and B satin liberty.- * t The New Skirt*.

Strong drink is the giant deceiver. j t makes many promises and breaks them 4 .11. It promises pleasures, but through a j inseled vestibule ushers into pain and J nieery. It promises good fellowship, but < oses the respect of noble men and true ? vomen. It promises a boy manhood, but teals from nim his manhood. It deludes me into thinking that he is "o'er all the lis of Kfe victorious," but when sobriety . :omee again he finds himself less able than :ver to cope with life's ills. Shakespeare long ago told how it "puts y m enemy into the mouth to steal away the! irains." Men who are fooled by drink are lot wise.

One recalls the story of the Dundee lawy. who, one night after a regular visit .0 public house, had a frightful dream of a )ig fat rat coming for nim, .followed by ;wo lean ones and an old blind one. He iwore some evil was sure to come upon lim. His wife could not help him to an nterpretation. His bright boy, with the visdom of Joseph, was ready, however. 'The fat rat is the man who keeps the pub ic house where ye gang sae aiten, me wo ean ones are me and me mither, and the jlind one is yeasel', father." How many blind ones there are! They :annot, or will not, see the need of stopping until it is e'enmost too late. They * jooh-pooh the idea that they cannot stop vhen they "get ready" to do so. Then, vhen they become convinced that they eally are unable to stop they pooh-pooh P ;he suggestion that there is a cure for their ^ lisease. Others are not so blind with re- i< ipect to the latter proposition. They hail with delight anything that promises their * ;reedom from bondage. They accept and Q ire saved.
