The late Major Pond managed Bill Nye for several lecture seasons, but their first meeting was rather Infor mal. Nye was one day walking down Fourth avenue with a friend when he spied the major’s modest sign in a window of the Everett house. “Here’s the man that incites the lecturers,” said Nye, let’s go in and see if we. can’t induce him to lead a better life.” Entering, Nye removed his hat and ran his hand over the hairless ex panse of his head, and, after staring about for a moment, said: “This is Major Pond, I believe 1 ?” “Yes, sir. What can I do for you?” answered the major. “I want to gefc a job on the plat form,” returned Nye. “Ah—yes,” said the major, slowly. “Have you had experience?” “Well, I’ve been with Bamum for a couple of years.” “Yes? May I ask in what capaci ty?” “I’ve been with Barnum. Sat con cealed in the bottom of a cabinet and exhibited my head as the larg est ostrich egg in capacity.” JANUARY FASHIONS. Black Net Again Stylish; Trimmings; Beads; V. Necks; Fur Toques. Black net is now classed among at tractive materials for evening dress es, and lined with either black, white, a dull blue, a faded pink, lavender or silver gray, places the wearers on the topmost round of fashion. The girdle and trimmings must be black, and filet net embroidered in ribbon braid, makes a very handsome trimming, and the same ribbon braid can adorn the neck and sleeves. If not wanted for ceremonious occasions, the neck can be finished with an unlined lace yoke of black or white net. The Empire Shape. This is the style readily made at home, as there is no special fit re quired except around the shoulders, and the squat e neck can be filled in with lace, silver net, or any kind of metallic lace that is in keeping with the color of the lining. Many black I only trimming consists of fur heads or tails or perhaps a single big rose or a bunch of gardenias or again It may be adorned In military fashion with an upstanding bunch of aigret tes. To have the fur toque, neck scarf and muff In black lynx Is the very latest fad, though both white and pointed fox are also used for the purpose. Fur Coats Extremely Fashionable. As the coldest weather of the win ter is yet to come, furs are an import ant question, and the handsome re ductions offered each January by C. C. Shayne & Co. are causing the rich and well-to-do New Yorkers to avail themselves of the opportunity to pur chase furs of all descriptions at very advantageous terms. The shape of broad-tail, flat moire caracul or pony coats will not change, consequently a present buyer may feel sure that a coat of any one of these three furs will be fashionable another winter. Sleeves will remain small, but in re- Educated. (Cleveland Leader.) Mrs. S. was in a Richmond hos pital, and she was lonely, so wel comed the advent of a very black and very languid maid who came in one morning to wipe up the floor. Some one new to talk to, so no time was lost. “I have not seen you working around here before. Aren’t you a new girl?” Edmonia willingly let the cloth slip back into Vhe bucket and sat flat upon the floor before answering. “Yas’m, I’s new. I’s jest washon’ up de floor. But I don’t work. I’s edjikated.” "And where were you educated?” was the next question. “In the seminary.” Then, with a burst of confidence: “There was me an’ another girl workin’ in a house. She was cook, an’ I was chamber maid, an’ we had great times about who would git de prize, but I beat.” Then, after a pause, “She was easy to beat, ’cause she got smothered to death with gas de night before de ’zaminations come off.” Fire Insurance!

It is dirty, too. You heard, perhaps about that tramp the other day? “Well, two tramps, it seems, were onversing on Broadway. ‘ ‘Tatters,’ said the first, ‘has got more nerve than any man I know.’ ‘ ‘Tatters is a nervy one,’ the other agreed. ‘What’s he been doin’ now?’ * ‘What’s he been doin’? shouted the first tramp enthusiastically Why durned if he didn’t march into Oelmoniker’s as bold as brass yes terday, select a corner table and or der a full course dinner, with a bot- le of wine.’ The other tramp shrieked. “But he didn’t get it, did he?’ “ ‘Sure he got it!

A doctor calne up to a patient in an insane asylum, slapped him on the back, and said: “Well, old man, you’re all right. You can run along and write your folks that you’ll be back home in two weeks as good as new.” The patient went off gayly to write lis letter, says Everybody’s. He bad ii finished and sealed, but when he was licking the stamp it slipped through his fingers to the floor, ligttt- ed on the back of a cockroach that was passing, and Scuck. The patient hadn’t seen the cockroach—what he did see was his escaped postage stamp zigzagging aimlessly across the floor to the baseboard, wavering up over the baseboard, and following a crooked track up the wall and across the ceiling. In depressed silence he tore up the letter that he had just written and dropped the pieces on the floor. “Two weeks! Hell!” he said. T won’t be out of here in three years. NOTICE.

The spangles are placed (in graduated size) one above the other which gives a button-like appearance. An especial advantage in a black net dress is that it is use ful during the entire year. Beads have superseded spangles to a con siderable extent, and vines of colored passementerie leaves connected by fe&oons of gilt beads, are brought out to finish the edge of low-neck waists. A V cut very low at back and front, and the square neck effect, are the two prevailing styles, of course over a tucked moussellne yoke. The New Fur Toques. The most fashionable headgear at the present moment is the fur toque. This can either be entirely composed of fur or can have a draped crown of velvet, heavy satin or sofc felt. These toques are rather large, set ting well down over the head. The spect to sealskin, sleeves are made of a standard size as a coat of that fur is expected to last ten years without alteration. Hair Ornaments. Prominent among these is the “Jultec cap” or as some writers term it, the Greek fillet, made of imitation pearls with a white aigrette at the side. Then there are half-circles of satin ribbon in various colors, wound on a large wire, with a narrow ribbon bow at each end or sometimes a large, white rose, sparkling with dew drops or silver (insel, holly sprays, butter flies, small flowers of all kinds, algreL tes or ostrich tips afford an extended choice. The fashionable barrette is very large, extending out under the low coiffure and partly supporting It. These are called after the famous opera singer, "Mary Garden barefttes” as she introduced them In the new opera "Thais.” Lucy Carter. NOTICE.

A suffragette sneered at Mrs. Humphry Ward’s queer logic the other day. “I knew the prolix lady was against votes for women,” she said. “At a lunch of suffragettes in New York, by means of a parable she pointed out here belief that the immediate home circle, not the dis tant polling booth or senate cham ber, was the true feminine sphere of usefulness. We didn’t applaud, I as sure you. “She said an aged Scot told his minister that he was going to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. “ ‘And whiles I’m there,’ said the pilgrim complacently. Til read the Ten Commandments aloud frae the top o’ Mount Sinai.’ “ ‘Saunders,’ said the minister, ’tak my advice. Bide at hame and keep them.’ ” On the Phone. (Judge.) “Hello, hello! who is this, please?” the man at the phone impatiently hurled at the mouthpiece. “This Is— Whom did you want?” came back a feminine voice. “I called for number —Confound it. I’ve forgotten the number now! Who is this, anyway?” “Sir, I think you might be a little more polite In your manner toward a lady. You’ve doubtless got the wrong number.” “How can I tell whether I’ve got the right or wrong number if you won’t tell me who you are? Some women make me tired!” “You’re a gentleman!” "You’re a lady!” “You’re positively insulting. I”— “Back up! Who are you, anyway?” “Sir, I’ll tell you who I am. I’m the wife of the biggest stockholder in this telephone company. I am Mrs. George Banks, that’s who I am, sir!” “Great Scott, Mary! I’ve been try ing to get you. This is George, your husband!” Why. (Harper’s Weekly.) Hubert Henry Davis, the play wright, who has spent much time in London, tells of an amusing inters view between the owner of a publi cation in the British capital,, whereof George Bernard Shad had been the dramatic critic, and Max Beerbohm, on the occasion of the latter’s as sumption of the duties laid down by G. B. 8. The owner advised Max of the salary that had been paid George Bernard, observing at the same time: “Being comparatively Inexperienc ed, you, Mr. Beerhohm, cannot, of course, expect so much.” “Oho, yes, I shall!” hastily inter posed M)ax. "Indeed, I shall expect more! Shaw know* the drama so thoroughly that it la an easy matter for him to write of It, whereas I, knowing nothing whatever shout It, shall find it dreadfully hard work!** The Lover’s Blunder. (Wasp.) The Duke of the Abruzzi has pick ed up many interesting stories In the course of his various travels, and he is fond of telling the following which he heard in the far north: A young Eskimo loved a beautiful maiden, whose father’s hut was near his own, but, as Is so often the case, her parents would not hear of the match. One night a great storm ripped np a crevasse In the Ice, and between the two huts there yawned an abyss bridged only by a slender atrip of ice. Here was the chance which the young lover sought. He crossed the frail bridge In the dead of night and crept to the home of hla sweetheart to steal her from her cruel father. The Eskimo sleep In bags of seal skin; and, with bated breath and J badly beating heart, he Ibve^SSmbered! 1 * With burden he recrossed the strip of Ice, and, safe on the other side, broke It down with a blow of his axe so that no one could pursue him save by the aid of a boat. Regaining his hut, he opened the bag to gaze upon the fair one, when, with a cry of horror, he staggered back dumfounded. For, in his haste to get the affair over, he had stolen her father by mistake! He Was Shooting to Win. The officers’ mess was discussing rifle shooting, says an exchange. “I’ll bet anyone here,” said one young lieutenant, "that I can fire twenty shots at 200 yards and call each shot correctly without waiting for the marker. I’ll stake a box of cigars that I can.” “Done!” cried a major. The whole mess was on hand early next morning to see the experiment tried. The lieutenent fired. “Miss,” he calmly announced. A second shot. “Miss,” he repeated. A third shot. “Miss.” “Here, there! Hold on,” protested the major. “What are you trying to do? You are not shooting for the target at all.” “Of course, net,” admitted the lieutenant. "I’m firing for those ci gars.” And he got them. Discouraging. (Bamberg Herald.) The Gaffney Ledger tells of a boy getting hla eye knocked out while cutting wood, a stick flying up and hitting him in the eye. And now every boy in the country will he afraid to cut stove wood tor hla mother. —Bee the Gaffney live Stock Co.’s advertisement. rxrsjL&'s&rySsrx 17 Gents a Day Buys an Ofiver This amazing offer—the New Model Oliver .x t oaxu 1 Typewriter No. & at 17 cents a day—isopen to At Maud, Wednesday, January 20th, I everybody, everywhere. 1909, from 9 to 3 o’clock.
