O. doctor, I have such a tickling in my throat I Just can't endure It I wish you'd come over as quick as you can and see what Is the cause of It." "The old hypochondriac!" he muttered. "There Is nothing on earth the matter with her, but I suppose I'll have to go, as usual,'Madam," he continued, raising his voice, "what did you have for dinner?" "Chicken pot pie." "All right I'll be there In a few minutes." When he visited his patient, a quarter of an hour later, he found her coughing and wheezing, and apparently In great pain. "No relief yet madam?" he asked. "Not a (cough) bit, doctor! It's (cough) getting worse( cough) every (cough) minute!" "Welh," he said, opening his case and taking out a small steel Instrument with a long handle, "we'll soon remove the cause. People are often troubled In this way after eating chicken pot pie. May I ask you to suspend your coughing for a moment and open your mouth ?" "Will It hurt, doctor?" "Not a particle. Now close your eyes, please." She compiled, and he Inserted the Instrument. "I see what It Is madam. Hold still. There?that's all." "Is It over, doctor?" "Yes; you may open your eyes." "Did you And anything?" "I should say I did. Do you see this?" Hereupon he showed her a chicken feather, which appeared to" be In a remarkable state of preservation, everything considered. "Is the tickling all gone, madam?" "Yes, It's all gone, doctor. I don't feel It a bit now. I just happened to think, though, that I've made a mistake. It wasn't chicken I had for dinner, doctor. It was roast pork. O, dear! I can feet it coming on (cough, cough) again!" Then the doctor's patience gave way. "Confound It, madam!" he exclaimed. "Why didn't you say so earlier? If you'd told me that at first I would have extracted a bristle!"?Chicago Tribune. Painful Slip of the Tongue. Irving Parke's weakness was in unfortunate utterances, which, while well intended, were often misunderstood, and they greatly perturbed the mind of Mm Parke. The subject was the topic of frequent curtain lectures, and Mr. Pirke as frequently promised to be more careful. "The Joneses are coming over tonight," said Mrs. Parke, "and I hope you will think before you speak and avoid offending them by some slip of the tongue." Of course. Mr. Parke promised and when the Joneses arrived he was In as gracious a mood as any guest could demand. "Oh, did you ever see such a beautiful evening?'" chirruped Mrs. Jones as she came tripping into the hall. "Yes," answered the Jovial Parke; "It Is too beautiful to stay indoors." "Now, Mr. Parke. Mrs. Jones will think you do not want her to come over," said Mrs. Parke with a look at her husband which heralded a storm. "Oh, my, no," responded the cautious Parke. "I only meant that If they hadn't come we might " "You don't know what you meant," Interrupted Mrs. Parke, coming to the rescue. "Why don't you take Mr. Jones's coat?" Mr. Parke took the proffered garment. but Instead of hanging It on the hall tree he unconsciously opened It out and held it as If he had been Invited to assist the owner to don it, and Mrs. Parke collapsed. The Joneses cut their call short.

"I won't say that I haven't, old boy," replied Mahlstlcque, cheerfully. "Let's have a look." He unlocked a drawer, rummaged in It for a moment, and then produced a crisp ?5 note. "Here you are, my son," he said, handing it to the delighted Dauber. "Take it with my blessing and don't spend It In dissipation." Exit Dauber bristling with thanks. Twenty minutes later he re-entered, bristling witn proranuy. ^iere, i say, you all sorts of bad words rascal," he shouted, "that fiver's bad!" "I know It Is," replied Mahllsticque, * calmly. "Know It Is!" bawled the Infuriated borrower," then what the deuce did you lend It to me for?" "Steady, lad, steady," said the other, soothingly; "don't get excited. You asked me if I'd got a fiver that was no use to me, and I gave you one. I can assure that it's absolutely no use to me whatever. You're welcome to?" But Dauber was gone. Not In His Line.?The sexton of a certain parish church would brook no interference with what he was pleased , to call his "special duties." "Every mon to his trade, sez I," he would remark. "Let the passon do the praichln, an' I'll do the rest." On one occasion the vicar was of the opinion that John was neglecting his duties. John, who was not wanting in wit strenuously denied the charge and said that he was "not goin' to stand no meddlin'" with his affairs. "But, John," said the vicar, "it behooves everybody to mind his p's and q's." "Everybody but me," retorted John, refusing to be cornered. "P's an' q's is nowt 1' my line.

Before her marriage to Mr. Kennedy on February 28th, 1865, she was Miss Nancy Jane Holland, a daughter of "Squire Isaac Holland. She was in her seventythird year, having been born April 8th, 1832, on the old William Holland place south of town. Here she spent the early years of her life.

The bad man with the revolver, who used to "shoot up" the old camps, is a picturesque character that has never appeared In Nome. There were two or three shooting affairs the first summer, says Alfred H. Durham in the Cosmopolitan, but they were of the character that might occur in New York, London or Paris, not the mining camp variety, at all. The most remarkable thing about Nome is the rapidity with which it acquired the luxuries of civilisation. Its electric lighting system and its telephone service are excellent. Its large greenhouse supplies fresh vegetables and flowers the year round at reasonable prices. There are numerous clubs, the most important of which is a secret society, the Arctic Brotherhood, whose clubhouse is in every particular all that a clubhouse should be. from the bowling alleys to the cafe. The three churches are the largest buildings. The first winter of Nome was characterized by what might be called high finance, truly a commentary on the mental trend of the day. Everybody tried to corner something. To corner things was in every particular legitimate, and to neglect an opportunity was to court ruin. The price of coal under artificial stimulus went to $150 a ton; lumber commanded $500 a thousand feet before the winter broke. Castor oil could be had In large quantities for 50 cents an ounce; eggs brought 50 cents each. The most successful corner was that I of fresh milk. There was only one cow In the city: the owner thereof cleared $1,000 on milk, and sold the cow In the spring for beef, realizing $500 more. Beer brought unheard of prices. To take advantage of the high prices expected the following winter, poultry yards and dairies were established and a brewery built, and thus prices found their natural level. The social life of the town during the first two winters would have furnished the student of sociology an Interesting chapter, comprising as It did the formation of a "four hundred," a "fast set" and the like. At a charity ball held early the second season I wore the first dress suit ever exposed to public view in Nome. Needless to add, I was the most uncomfortable centre of all eyes. Judge Clark finally broke the Ice by shaking hands with the "man who had nerve enough to wear a dress suit In Nome." It was a most amusing thing to see the dress suits appear after that. Before the winter was over it was rare Indeed to see a man at a function In anything but evening clothes. Where they came from has never been satisfactorily explained to this day. And the thing that brought all this about is gold. Nature hides her treasures in strange places, and puts through strange paces us that seek for it. Everybody In Nome has a claim; everybody expects to strike it I rich sooner or later. Enough enthusiasm, optimism and ambition are generated in Nome each year to supply the earth?aye, the universe?could they be bottled or dried. The first mining was done by placer methods right on the sea beach. At first one man could make as much as $50 a day by the simplest methods. Eaqpt inch of beach, one might say, ' has been worked over by the hand methods, and now the whole beach Is being sys tematlcally sirted again; tnts lime gasolene engines and mercury are assisting. His Great Luck.?Insurance Commissioner R. E. Folk of Tennessee was talking the other day about the humor of the insurance business. "It is a ghastly humor," he said, "because it hinges on death. Nevertheless. there Is a great deal of it. Every Insurance agent has some odd and new story to relate. "One agent told me yesterday how he had met that morning a friend in a feeble condition, his face pallid, his eyes dull and his figure shrunken. " 'What is the matter with you, Herbert?' the agent said. " 'I am In luck,' Herbert answered. 'My boy, I am in great luck.' " 'How so?' asked the agefct. " 'Why,' said the other, 'your comj pany's medical examiner passed me only two months ago, and now my doctor tells me I have an Incurable disease. How is that for luck?'"?Baltimore Herald.

Coat sleeves and a little square-cornered vest were composed of shirred and corded lawn. Needless to say this dress must shun I the washer-woman. A princess toilet prepared for the Inauguration festivities in Washington was of supple black taffeta cut after a stately sweeping design. Two hoops of black velvet ribbon clasped at Intervals by knots adorned the bottom of the skirt. The bodice was made with a pointed j vest of black and white striped silk muslin, this bordered by a drapery In part of rose-colored and In part by black velvet, the long ends of which knotting over the breast, fell below the waist line. Add a shoulder collar of gold tissue embroidered with velvet flowers and a capote of gold gauze surmounted by an aigrette and fastened by coquettlshly tied strings and you have a costume with elements of originality. ? Margaret Davis, In "Ctolors-toWear and Avoid," gives nine feminine types, and the colors becoming and unbecoming to each. The brunette, she says, the girl with blue-black hair, black eyes and pallid complexion should wear black, cream-white, purple and violet, amber, olive green, reds, russet, and rose-pink, never bluewhite, cold blues, grey, mauve pink, votlnw op oale srreen. The Irish girl, with dark brown hair, grey eyes and fresh complexion should wear dark green, purple, white, black, fawn, grey, brown, red, blue, gold and lavender, never pale green, old gold, or pink. The Nut Brown Maid, with her brown hair, eyes and skin must wear every shade of red, amber, yellow, cream, maroon, flame, and warm blue, never pale blue, violet, black, white or grey. The Titian type, with her crown of burnished bronze, has to be extremely careful to avoid every hint of blue, red, green or pink, and must wear dark colors, black, deep purple, and green, cream and amber. The neutral type, with hair, eyes and skin of no particular color, may wear every bright color, except green and yellow. No shade of brown or green or grey should ever be Indulged In by her. The rosy blonde, with her bright complexion, fair hair and blue eyes, must wear lavender, cool gTeys, white, brown, and green, but not red, blue, yellow or tan. The warm blonde with her rosy skin, light hair and dark eyes, Is a darling of the gods, and may wear everything except cold blues, greens and violets. The colorless blonde, a rather washed-out type, should avoid light or pastel shades of everything, and wear turquoise, yellow greens, peacock blue, amber, cream, red and black. The girl wun prematurely grey hair can make herself a very lovely Marie Antoinette in all the shades of green and purple and rich blues, reds and browns. Cream is also becoming to her. But she must sedulously avoid black, yellow, light blue and pink, lilac and light green. ? "It is time for consideration of spring millinery, and, although models from authoritative sources are not yet numerous, the demi-season hat is already here in full glory." The varieties in the line of straw hats, we are told, are legion. "Prom the finest chips to rough barn-yard braids of coarse, round straws, each is desirable and appropriate to some occasion. The majority of these straws are loosely woven, or plaited, showing any color placed under them through the strands." As for the trimmings, these, too, seem to be numerous and varied? everything almost we read will be used. Flowers and foliage of all kinds seem to be holding a place in the first rank, in these early or between-season hat trimmings. So much Is being written concerning the "satin straw" flowers, that I, too, shall give something of what I have been able to cull from a fashion book or so. One says: "Most novel of all, and, therefore, worthy of first place, were wonderful clusters of morning glories in satin straw. So lightly and daintily are they made, and so brilliantly colored that admiration Is only the natural sequence of sight. A bright rose color Is especially effective. Violets also are simulated in this satin straw, but here let it be remarked that artificial flowers of the year are by no means invariably faithful to nature's colorings, though one variety of each Is sure to be an exact duplicate In every particular. From this they depart Into every possible shade of modish color? pinK, green, oia rose, paie oiue tARA*A*AKAKAatA*?AI ASAWORKING TOOLl for the student and the writer, as an authoritative reference book for schools, teachers, families, business and professional men, there is one book which offers superior advantages in the solid value of its information, and the ease with which it is obtained.
