Xumonros Jqjitrtmrnt. Whin Hs Packed the Bag. He la a local financier of prominence says the Baltimore News, and when an acquaintance met him on Baltimore street one day recently at 3.25 p. m., he said he couldn't stop to talk because he had to go home to pack a bag and catch a train at 3.53. "You'll never make It," said the acqualntancei but the financier sent his colored valet to fetch a cab to his house, and he and his private secretary jumped on a car and went rushing on to pack. When they reached his residence the colored man and the cab were already on hand and the financier, rushing Into his room, picked up an armful of articles which were lying on the bed and shouted to his valet to put them In his bag. "But?" began the darkey. "Don't talk!" shouted the exasperated financier, brushing his hair; "put them in that bag." "But Mistah John?" began the colored man again. "Blast you." said his master, excitedly. " Can't you see that we only have ten minutes to make that train. Don't say a word but pack the things I've given you and be off." The man packed the grip in silence and the master caught the train with Just one minute to spare. That night his mother received this telegram from New York. "Am returning your best bonnet by express. Bob packed it among my things. Not much hurt. John." She Siwp.lt Wanted to See.?Prof. D. P. Croop of the University of Colorado has Invented a machine that increases the height from one to five Inches and the chest girth from one to four inches. "It Is amazing." said Prof. Croop the other day. "what an interest people take In any change in their physique?the gain of an Inch around the chest or forearm, the loss of an Inch ir. the neck or stomach. "I know of a woman who spent July at the seashore, taking an ocean bath and a hot bath daily so as to reduce her weight. "The day she was to leave for home she entered a butcher shop and told the old man to cut her olf twenty pounds of pork. "He cut and weighed this great chunk of meat and then said: , " 'Where, madam shall I send it?' "But the woman as she feasted her eyes on the pork, replied: " 'Oh, don't send it anywhere. I don't want to buy It. You see. I have lost twenty poundR since I nave been down here, and I just wanted to see how much it was.'" William Zieolbr's Alert Wit.?An Arctic explorer was talking of the late William Ziegler, whose great wealth went in the past to fit out so many expeditions of discovery. "He was a man of the alertest wit," the explorer said. "I never saw his equal In the hitting of a person's character with an apposite story. Once, I re memoir, ne was ueBcnuiu^ ? uvui j manufacturer of loose business morals. "Mr. Zelgler said this manufacturer was like a certain grocer who called his clerk up before him one day and said: " 'That lady that Just went out? didn't I hear her ask you for freshlaid eggs?" "'Yes.' the clerk answered. "'And you said we hadn't any?' "'Yes. sir: that Is correct.' "The grocer, purple with rage, yelled: " 'Didn't you see me lay those eggs myself on the counter not ten minutes ago You are discharged, you menda s_ clous scoundrel, and see that you don't look to me for a reference, either.' " To Satisfy His Wife.?"John," exclaimed the nervous woman, according to an exchange, "there's a burglar In the house. I'm sure of it." John rubbed his eyes and protested mildly that It was imagination. "No It Isn't. I heard a man downstairs." / So John took a box of matches and y went down. To his surprise his wife's suspicions were correct. Seeing that he was unarmed, the burglar covered him with a revolver and became quite sociable. "Isn't It rather late to be out of bed?" he remarked. "A?er?a?little bit," replied John. "You're too late, anyhow, because I've dropped everything out of the window, and my pals have carried them off." "u, mat s an rigni. 1 a line 10 asa one favor of you, though." "What is it?" "Stay here until my wife can come down and see you. She has been looking for you every night for the last twelve years, and I don't want her to be disappointed any longer." Properly I.vtroducbd.?Margaret is a well-brought-up little girl who has seme knowledge of etiquette, says the New York Times. She has been taken to the country this summer to a house where there is a large dog. "Don't go near the dog, Margaret," said her mother, "he doesn't know you and he might bite." But that did not suit Margaret and she knew how to arrange matters. Going to the dog she made a little courtesy such as she had been taught to make at dancing school and said politely: "Doggie. I am Margaret Brown." Then, the Introduction having been made and the dog having no excuse for not knowing her, Margaret walked up and patted him, while he wagged his tall with much graclousness. Saved His Life.?This story Is told, according to the Boston Herald, at the expense of the late Gen. Wllmon W. Blackmar: General Blackmar was attending a camp, when he was approached by a seedy looking man. who greeted him profusely. The general shrugged his shoulders and turned away, with the remark that they were not acquainted. "But. general." said the stranger, "don't you remember how you saved my life at the battle of the Wilderness ?" Gen. Blackmar at once became Interested. and he called a group of comradea> over to listen saying: "I saved this man's life once. How was It done, old comrade?" "It was this way." was the response. "We were on a hill, and the enemy advanced steadily toward our intrenchments. A veritable hail of fire swept our position. Suddenly you turned"? here the auditors were absorbed and excited?"and ran, and I ran after you. I think that If you hadn't shown the example I would have been killed that day." iHisccIlanrous heading. IN COUNTIES ADJOINING. News and Commert Clipped From Neighboring Exchangee. CHEROKEE.

Instead of simply indorsing a check, prefix 'for deposit.' with a rubber stamp and give the name of the bank. Cleveland merchants have learned this after an experience that cost one of them $600. "A man walked into a jewelry store and selected a $125 watch, left a check for $600, drawn on an out-of-town bank, with the instructions that the watch he regulated and that he would come after It and his change a week later. On returning he was informed that the check was no good. " 'Well that's strange,' he said 'It's the second time the bank has done that thing to me. But here's the money for your watch, and he counted out $125 in currency and started for the door. 'Oh, yen,' he said, turning around, 'you had better give me that check. It was willingly handed over to him. On the back was the Jeweler's simple Indorsement. With this the man went into a bank, got it cashed and I was never heard of afterward."?I Cleveland Leader.

It Is noticeable that the long silk gloves, which come In every possible shade, are not affected by the best people In violent colors while the delicate pastel shades and the exceptionally becoming champagne and flesh tints are used to complete the loveliest of pale gowns. ? From present Indications it would seem that fewer trimmed suits will be seen. Trimming there will be, of course, but not the elaborate, aJmost fussy forms that have had so long a reign. For trimming, other than tallory styles, doesn't belong to the more severe tailor suits. ? Circular skirts are wonderfully popular. They were hinted at In spring, and a lot of them were made up even In linen?a new way of cutting them making possible what never seemed so before, the laundering of a circular skirt without ruining It; and the models shown for early fall emphasize the circular skirt more than any other one style. ? Not the least Important thing about the autumn hat Is Its veil. Never has there been a season when this flippant little object claimed greater prominence. Curtain veils drooping from he brims of hats; veils flung back over the tops of hats, softening the trimmings and falling In scarf draperies: voluminous veils completely covering hats?all these are everyday objects. Many of the new veils are extravagantly costly. Some are of exquisite lace, a novelty being the lace veil of two colors, the contrasting tone serving either as a border or as a part of the design. ? All shades of purple, but preferably a pinkish mauve, are extremely fashionable this season, and young and old alike wear the same color. It Is used In all materials and for both elaborate and simple gowns. A charmingly artistic gown In silk mull or chlfTon, with bands of satin or velvet of two or three shades deeper, will be a favorite model for a simple evening gown next winter, while by the draping of the flchu the effect of a tea-gown with a Wafteau back can be obtained, the flchu In that case having the ends drawn up to the top of the waist at the back and then left to fall loose. In the other case the ends of the flchu are put under the wide belt In front. ? There Is quite a fad for the embellishment of long evening gloves, as well as those elbow ones that are worn with short sleeves. Ribbon embroideries are much used In this connection. and bracelet designs appear at the wrist and the top, where the glove Joins the sleeve. ? The autumn hat Is of medium size, tending to become large. It Is possible that before winter Is over the enormous picture hat of a few seasons past may again dominate the fashions. The tendency toward high crowns Is marked both in elaborate headgear and In the smart, simple hats always brought out at the end of August for ?UK allAr-moHfi H rpqqpfi for WCUI WIUI laiiwi-umuv traveling use, etc. Many of the new hats are meant to be worn over the forehead, though with a more moderate Inclination than was usual last spring. The bandeau, or cache-pelgne, lifting the hat at the back. Is no longer bigger and more extravagantly trimmed than the hat Itself, but still demands and receives attention. In many hats It Is movable, enabling a woman to choose the poise that to her is most becoming. Eccentric bends, twists and tilts of the side brim are an occasional vice of the new hat, as of Its predecessors, though In this respect there has been an obvious attempt at reformation. ? Blue, which has been the summer's favorite color, will continue Jo reign In autumn. Throughout Its entire range of shades It Is represented In the new hats, Saxe blue being especially conspicuous. The craze for brown long ago subsided, and that color will be used to a normal extent only. So far the number of black hats Is almost overwhelmingly large, but later fancies may modify this tendency. White hats and hats In black and white are also numerous. Many milliners this autumn are making a specialty of hats In solid color or in shades of one color, while others mix tints as If they were shaking a kaleidoscope. A catchy novelty likely to become common Is the black velvet hat trimmed with shaded plumes. If there Is a leading novelty In color, perhaps It Is kingfisher blue, shading Into green. This, however. Is less used than the clear porcelain blues. The loveliest of the white hats are soft, silky white felts trimmed with velvet and flowers. ? Small scrolls of half Inch wide silk gathered over a small cord at each edge Is a favorite trimming, especially on coats, and for these there Is an attachment which can be had for most machines which hems the edges and inserts tne eoru ai ine same time. Another favorite way of using both ribbons and material is to either gather it or plait It Into wide puffings in the edges of which there Is a cord inserted, or it Is finished with the cord of the heavier kind which is best made separately. One of the newest fancies in ribbon trimmings Is to lay three Inch wide grosgrain in narrow side plaits and to stitch it in place on the machine. At the other edge the plaits are reversed, each plait being folded back to just its own depth, and this edge being also stitched. It makes an effective trimming which can be easily turned so as to apply in Roman key squares, and it Is not nearly so difficult to make as it sounds, as the plaits can easily be basted into the reverse position by handling them only along the edge. This trimming Is especially effective and really is easy even for the inexperienced once the trick is learned. Wheels of plaited ribbon interlacing each other are a popular skirt trimming and one which is easily applied. ? There seems to be an almost unlimited license as regards coat lengths. Boleros and long coats?almost to the hem of the skirt?short jackets and in-between lengths, are all shown, with the preference given long coats and those of a long hip length?the hardest length in the world to wear, and one that demands an absolutely good cut. Besides the replacing of loose lines with fitted lines, most of the new coats?those that are part of a suit?have a long seam (slot-seam, or stitched plait or two) running from the shoulder-seam to the hem of the coat, something like an old-fashioned dart, and accentuating the Idea of the fitted coat. But. in spite of the close fit everything must fit easily; nothing must seem pulled In, but simply eased into its new lines. To accom pllsh these ends, dresses and blouses alike threaten to be made up on severely boned linings, over which the Jacket can fit smoothly instead of having to strain over the loose, boneless blouses we've been wearing. Even Eton coats show plaits, or perhaps stitching down the front, to accentuate that little line necessary in the new styles. -The taffeta coat is delightfully smart, and covered with quillings. Quite a new feature is the back with its sash tails cut in one length, and the loose fronts with spoon tabs. Another and shorter coat is seen, and here the tails are shorter and the bolero fronts are gracefully rounded off. WHY THEY WANT 8AKHALIN. Russia Nssds Its Oil; Japan Its Fisheries. As big as Belgium and Holland put together, very nearly as big as Ireland, and fully twice as big as Greece, Sakhalin Island, taken by Japan a few days ago. will add about 25,000 square miles of territory to the Mikado's empire. It is a narrow island, nowhere wider than the state of Massachusetts Is long, and at certain points not wider than Nantucket, says the Boston Evening Transcript. But this ribbonlike island, lying northwest of Japan, stretches along the coast of Siberia (from which a narrow sea separates it) for a distance of 670 miles. Sakhalin has a river 250 miles long and mountains 5,000 feet high. It's by no means a vest pocket country. Japanese enterprise, then will have plenty of room to knock about in: but square miles aren't everything, even when you can count them by the tens of thousands, and unfortunately Sakhalin's climate is nothing to boast of. To be sure, the Island isn't far north (it lies in about the same latitude as France), but the sky is almost always clouded, and the cold currents flowing from the Okhotsk sea keep the eastern coast pretty well ice strewn all summer, while on the western coast the Ice from the Amur clogs up the narrow space between the island and the mainland and long remains unmelted. Nobody Is ever too warm on Sakhalin. The climate resembles that of Siberia, and Alexandroffsky Is colder in winter than Archangel. Another thing, equally as discouraging as far as it goes, you can't farm to advantage on Sakhalin. Only here and there Is the soil at all fertile, and even then you must content yourself with raising market truck and expect to get malaria while weeding your garden. Such at least has been the experience of Russian penal colonists who have tried to wrest a living from the soil. Moreover, the country looks every whit as inhospitable as experiment has proved it to be. They say that when Russian exiles get their first glimpse of that rocky coast and those grim, cloudcapped mountains they often burst Into tears for very despair. When such of them as are not life prisoners have served their term and become "free colonists." they are almost certain to leave Sakhalin and settle In Siberia. They call the country of their Imprisonment "The Isle of the Lost." Cold, untillable, but big?Is thai the whole story? If It were then we should certainly be at a loss to know why the peace envoys at Portsmouth are haggling over the question of who Is to own Sakhalin But that isn't by any means the whole story. The Isle of the Losl Is also the Isle of Potential Wealth, If it had no other claim to Importance its dense forests would be enough to make it worth owning. Practically untouched, they stretch from one end of Sakhalin to the other. The Japanese will know what to do with them. Besides, there Is coal?not easily mined, but abundant. At Duey the toughest criminals have worked chained to their barrows, and each year they spent In the mines has counted as a year and a half toward hastening their discharge. Sakhalin has long supplied ships with fuel. Perhaps the Japanese will develop the coal mines to the full extent of their possibilities, but it Is certain at all events that they will develop the oil fields. According to C. S. Patonoff the oil regions of Sakhalin are richer than those of America. Subterranean lakes?some of them with an area of 8,000 square feet?lie so close to the surface that natural gushers can be easily established. The oil regions lend themselves readily to exploitation, for the east coast Is only from twenty to twentyfive miles away, and there nature has provided harbors that boats drawing twenty feet of water can safe'.y enter. For four months of the year, to be sure, those harbors are Icelocked. but the Ice can be broken by specially constructed steamers known as "ledokol." The war promised to do wonders for the oil business. As coal couldn't be got for love or money from England or Japan, Admiral Rumglnwhlsky (as the Dogger Bank fishermen still call him) was to supply his armada with oil fuel from Sakhalin. Under government auspices the Russian Sakhalin Oil company came suddenly Into existence, a glorious monopoly that proposed to employ cheap Russian, Chinese and Korean labor, turn out from 600,000 to 700,000 tons of oil a year and drive Mr. Rockefeller out of business in the Far East. Meanwhile another sort of game will fall to the Japanese?in the north a fine menagerie at large, composed of bear, foxes, sable, antelope and reindeer; In the .south an occasional tiger; on the coast a remunerative profusion of seal, sea lions and dolphins, not to mention a species of plebian whale little prized by blubber hunters. But the chief source of wealth In the Sakhalin of today is the fisheries. The rivers team with salmon, the waters along the coast with herring. In a single year Sakhalin yielded $1,500,000 worth of fish, and this in spite of the most discouraging conditions. The Russians wouldn't give the Japs a free hand, nor would they themselves develop the full possibilities of the fisheries. As long as the Island remained a sort of Siberian backyard, into which exiles were to be thrown, It was bad policy to encourage fleets of fishing boats to come prowling along the shore. The boats might thin out the population. But when once the penal colonies are withdrawn, and Japan takes control, the Sakhalin fisheries will have a chance at normal progress. Some day. unless all travelers are liars, they may rival those of Newfoundland. Now the moment you begin to talk about fish the Japanese prick up their ears. No fish, no rice; no rice, no Japs. Every year Sakhalin sends a million dollars' worth of fish fertilizer to the Japanese rice fields. This fertilizer, nee herring, is so indispensable to rice growing that when the war cut off the Japanese fishermen from the Sakhalin coast two Japanese towns, Hokkaido and Otaru. petitioned the mikado to send troops to seize the island, or. If that could not be done, to permit the two Indignant towns to fit out an expedition of their own. The director general of prisons asked permission to organize an army of Japanese Jail birds for service in Sakhalin. Such overtures as these met with govrnmental discouragement, but the seizure of Sakhalin by trained troops was undertaken as soon as practicable. Nor did Japan fail to perceive that a Sakhalin In the grip of a foreign power would constitute a standing menace to Japanese agriculture. It was the case of Korea over again, only with herring substituted for grain as the vital point. GETTING HURT A PROFESSION. Corporation* and Citiaa Ara Fleeced Out of Million* Everv Year bv Fakir*. Annually, railroads, corporations, cities and towns throughout the United States are fleeced out of no less than $15,000,000 In the settling of fraudulent claims and suits against which the defendants are utterly powerless. In fact, so helpless are those sued that up to now legal advisers have counselled to avoid publicity lest exposition of the fact train uninitiated fakirs into these lucrative, easy-to-work frauds. Every railroad company, every trolley company, nearly all of our big manufacturers and. without exception, all of our big cities, are made the victims of this class of sharper. In Chicago alone the annual crop of fak? damage suits brought against the city amounts to a fortune. Oran Hoskins, the "paralyzed" youth of Fort Worth. Texas, had beer been awarded $35,000. True, the Hoskins verdict was afterward revoked because an attorney came forward and testified that long before his accident the boy and his mother had come to him and asked what chance there would be for good damages If ar accident like the one that afterward occurred should take place, and because when a doctor who had previously believed In Hoskins pretended to operate upon his brain the boy who had seemed blind, deaf and altogether Inert sprang from the operating table and confessed. There was the case of the Chicagc woman who olaimed to be the sister of a prominent lawyer whose partner is an ex-cablnet minister. She war suing the street car company for many thousands of dollars with a good chance of recovering. There was the case of the man who stood on the platform of a Missouri Kansas and Texas train, at HUlsboro, Texas, and saw another man crushed beneath the wheels. He was suing the railroad company for $5,000 because of the "horror and mental anguish" he wae subjected to. There was the Chlcage woman of shady reputation, who had injured her thumb on a street car who had blackmailed more than one prominent man, and whose father waj serving a life sentence for murderlni her mother. She was suing for a bi| sum. The public in general and thi Chicago public in particular had comi to regard batting the corporations ai : a . purely defensive public measure, it which at least there was no sin. True the city itsejf Is a corporation fron 1 which every citizen draws large dlvl . dends in free police protection, li i sewerage removal, In free schooling and if you bait It you simply rob 1 ' of just so much of Its capacity to f giving you what belongs to you. True, the street railway company 1: a corporation which gives you mor for your nickel than you could bu; for a dollar In cab service, the rail ' road company more for a dollar thai you could buy for ten In stage coacl service, and If you bait them you re duce by so much their capacity fo; ! contributing to your comfort. For, a : a prominent railroad official polnte< out every excessive or unjust Judg , ment that a railroad Is called upon ti pay increases Its operating expensei Just that much, and to that exten prevents a reduction, either voluntas or enforced, of the rates of fare ant freight; so that In the end the genera ' public, or those who use the railroads pay or contribute toward the paymen of such judgments.?Pearson's MagarsiTsi 0" UR AUGUST "SF isfactory to us.
