LOVS AND LONG DISTANCE.
* !
t»o Dollars Per Minute Was Mora Than
I.ove Could Fat Up.
She lived in Chicago and he lived in
Hoboken.
Cupid can thrive almost anywhere.
T!he distance from Hoboken to Chicago
is, lot us say, 1,000 miles.
Long distance telephone rates are $1
100 miles for five minutes. That makes
a five minutes' talk with Chicago $10.
Oh, lovel Oh, rapture!
As she walked trippingly along Wa
bash avenue in Chicago, thinking of
Harold and Hoboken, her fluttering
heart was startled by her eyes falling
on one of those familiar long distance
telephone signs consisting principally
of a blue bell.
Ordinarily a bluebell reminds one of
Scotland, but in this case it reminded
her of Hoboken.
"Oh, Harold!" she twittered all to
her dear little self. "Oh, Harold!"
Then, without further explanation ex
cept to soliloquize just once as follows,
"How perfectly delighted he will be to
hear from me in this unexpected man
ner, the dear old darling!" she went
into the telephone box and rang up Ho
boken.
Harold oame up with it, and for ten
minutes her heart went whirling along
the wires to Harold's heart, and Ho
boken and Chicago were one.
Then she rang off and went to her
home so happy, so happy, that even the
Chicago atmosphere was fall of sun
shine to her.
Ten minutes of bliss with Harold!
Why had they never thought of this
before?
Now, every day they would commune
together, and life would be joy unutter
able.
They would talk for hours instead of
minutes.
Oh, bliss!
And Harold?
Ah, Harold was in the ecstasies of an
elysiac that comes only to happy lovers.
That is to say, he was until a man
came with a bill.
Just what it said in detail Harold
did not know. All that he knew was
that he had been conversed with for ten
minutes at the rate of $2 a minute.
In an instant the whole world seemed
changed to him.
He looked at the man with the bill in
dull despair. He remembered tbe con
versation.
Tho man seemed to understand, and,
promising to call the nexc day, he went
out softly.
The nest day Harold had disappeared
forever.
Tho next day the man with the bill
called.
The next day Chicago could not get
Hoboken.
And it cost the girl $21 and her Har
old.—New York Son.
Tommy* Mission That Day.
A small boy who had a great dislike
for school returned home for dinner a
little earlier than usual.
"Tommy, you naughty boy, yon have
been playing truant," said his mother.
"A little dicky bird came in at the win
dow and told me so."
The next morning Tommy set out for
(school as usual. During the morning
his mother heard a noise from the far
end of the kitchen, and, looking round,
l there saw Tommy crouched under the
(table.
j "Tommy, you rascal, what are you
1 doing there?"
Seeing that he was discovered, he
crawled out, and, holding up a brick

HOW TO CURE YOURSELF WHILE
USIlNti IT.
The tobacco habit grows on a man until his
nervous system is seriously affected, impair
ing health, comfort and happiness. To quit
suddenly is too severe a shock to the system,
as tobacco to an inveterate user becomes a
stimulant that his system continually craves.
"Baco-Curo" is a scientific cure for the tobacco
habit, in all its forms, carefully compounded 1
after the formula of an eminent Berlin physi
cian who has used it in his private practice
since 1872, without a failure. It is purely vege
table and guaranteed perfectly harmless. You <
can use all the tobacco you want while taking c
"Baco-Curo." It will notify you when to stop. -
We give a written guarantee to cure perma- c
neutly any case with three boxes, or refund
the money with 10 per cent, interest. "Baco-
Curo" is not a substitute, but a scientific cure,
that cures without the aid of will power and
with no inconvenience. It leaves the system t
as pure and free from nicotine as the day you t
took your first chew or smoke.
Cured By Baco-Curo and Gained Thirty

tried to quit, but couldn't. I took various j
remedies, among others "No-To Bac." "The
Indian Tobacco Antidote," "Double Chloride
of Gold," etc., etc., but none of them did me ,
the least bit of good. Finally, however. I pur
chased a box of your "Baco-Curo" and it has
entirely cured me of the habit in all its forms, .
and I have increased thirty pounds in weight '

NEW SKIRTS.
Ihe "Pull Back" Threatened Again—How
to Avoid Gaps.
Fashion has seldom been less absolute
than at present, and never was greater
latitude allowed in the matter of skirts.
Of oourso they all approximate to the stone
model—they flare at the foot and are close
at the hips. The newest styles have godeta
at the back only, but nevertheless those
having godets all around are still worn by
fashionable women who prefer them. As
long as the circumference Is maintained at
about five yards fancy may be indulged to
the utmost.
It looks now as if skirts would slowly
shrink to the eclskin stylo again without
an intermediate season of the old fash
ioned full skirt, which at one time seemed
on the point of being revived. Of all am-
TOTING GIKL'S GOWN.
ple skirts the full one is the most artistic
and becoming. If it is not stiffened, as
our grandmothers' were not, it falls in
beautiful folds, and the fullness springing
out about the hips makes the waist appear
very slender.
The fullness at the back of the latest
skirts is not laid in plaits, but is gathered
into very narrow compass, perhaps an inch
and a half or two inches on each side of
the back opening. Tho back opening it
self, which is always treacherous even
with the most careful arrangement of
small hooks and loops to keep it closed,
can be avoided by leaving open the top of
the left hand seam that joins the side
breadth to the back breadth. This is far
less likely to gape. Better yet, If there is
any trimming, or if there are revers or
straps at the top of the tablier seams, the
opening of the skirt may be in front, con
cealed by the decoration. In this latter
case the wearer is quite easy minded and
has no fear of an expose of white petticoat
—an annoyance only second to the slip
ping down of the waistband.
A picture is given of a summer costume
for a young girl. It is of linen, having
an openwork embroidery pattern, and is
made over pink silk. The godet skirt is
untrimmed. The bodice is open in front
over a full chemisette of pink silk. Large
revers of pink silk are turned back over
plaitings of pink silk gauze. The full
sleeves reach to the elbow. Tho belt is of
pink silk. Jcdic Ciiollet.
BOWSER'S WATERLOO
ROUTED IN HIS ATTACK ON THE
SPEi-LING OF WOMAN.
He Was Doing Valiantly Until His Wife
Brought Oat His Old Letter*, and Then
He Called Them Balderdaah and Said
They Were AU Forgeries.
"Mrs. Bowser," began Mr. Bowser
the other evening as he laid aside his
paper, ' 'will you take this pencil and do
• a little writing for me?"
"Of oourse, dear," she replied.
"What do you want me to write?"
, "I wish you to write down about a
dozen words as I give them to you. The
■ first word is 'illegality.'
"Yes."
i "Then 'advisability' and 'consan
guinity.' "
"What use are yon going to make of
them?"
"I'm just trying a little experiment
Now yon may put down 'desideratum'
and 'multitudinous.' "
"What is the experiment?" asked
Mrs. Bowser.
"Why, I was just reading in the pa
per that not one woman out of 50, no
matter how well educated, was thor
oughly up on orthography. An editor
says that out of 250 communications
sent in by females an average of one
Word out of every ten was misspelled."
"But men spell every word correctly,
I suppose?" sarcastically queried Mrs.
Bowser.
"They do. It seems to come perfectly
natural to them. It isn't a woman's
fault, perhaps. It may be that nature
meant it that way. Now you can pnt
down the word 'destruotibility.' "
"I'm not putting down any more
words," she said as she laid down the
penoil.
"Oh! Got mad, eh? That's the way
with a woman. If some one said she
couldn't play on a Jew's harp as well as
a man, she'd get her nose up about it."
"I oan spell as well as you can, Mr.
Bpwser, and even better. Whoever
wrote about that little experiment told
a falsehood."
"There you gol That's egotism and
mulishness combined. Didn't I explain
that nature never intended a woman to
spell half her words right? If she
didn't, then what's the use of getting
mad about it? Of the four words you
wrote down you spelled half of one of
them correctly, and you ought to be
proud of it."
"I spelled every one of them correct
ly," she insisted.
"Mrs. Bowser, don't set your jaw that
way when you are addressing me! I am
speaking to you more in sorrow than in
anger. If you can't spell, why, then"—
"When did you become such a great
spelior?"
"Orthography came natural to me,
Mra Bowser—perfectly natural. I was
spelling words a rod long before I was
seven years old.''
"Oh, indeed! It's funny how many
mistakes you made afterward—when
we were engaged, for instance."
"Mistakes in spelling? Be careful,
Mrs. Bowser! Don't lot your anger lead
you to prevaricate. I think I wrote you
two or three little notes while we were
engaged, and I'll bet a million dollars
to a cent that every word was correctly
spelled."
"You wrote me about 400 love let
ters, and I've got every one up stairs,
and you made scores of mistakes."
"Woman,"said Mr. Bowser as he
rose up and glowered at her, ''I pity
you! When a person is driven to pre
varication and perjury in order to carry
a point, it is a sad, solemn thing. If I
had"—
She ran up staira, and in the course
of threo or four minutes returned with
a great package of letters in her hand
and said:
"Here are about 50 of the bushel of
letters yon wrote me. We will now see
about the spelling. You acknowledge
your handwriting, don't you?"
"I acknowledge nothing, Mrs. Bow
ser—absolutely nothing! They may be
letters of mine, or they may be base
forgeries."
"They are your letters, of course.
Hero is one in which you speak of an
aznro sunset and an affinity of souls.
You spell it 'ashure' and 'afinety.' "
"Never—never on the face of this
— -«
is another in which you lay your heart
at my feet, and yon have spelled it
'b-a-r-t.' "
"I deny itl" shouted Mr. Bowser as
his face got red and his hair began to
ourL ' 'In the first place, I wasn't don
key enough to write any such balder
dash, and in the nest any fool knows
enough to spell heart. Lay my heart at
your feet—humph!''
•'Well, the words are here just as
you wrote 'em, and I have marked each
one. In this third letter you say that
life would be one never ending mid
night without me, and you have spelled
it'n-i-t-e.'"
"What! Whatl I wrote such stuff as
that? Mrs. Bowser, beware how you
presume on my good nature and your
position aa my wife 1 I pronounce each
and every letter in that package a base
forgery! A never ending midnight with
out you—boshl''
"And this fourth letter," she contin
ued without heeding him, "is a 16 page
letter you wrote ma one rainy Sunday.
Ton speak of the sobbing raindrops,
and joh spell sobbing with one ' b.' You
speak of my charming face and spell it
with two 'm's.' You refer to the future
and spell the word 'f-u-c-h-e-r.' You
speak"—
"Mrs. Bowser, do you know who I
am?" he demanded aa he pointed bis
finger at her.
"Certainly. You were wretched, you
said, and you"—
"You talk that way to me, do you!
Beoause you can't spell one word in a
theusana correctly you—you"—
I show that you are just as bad, Mr.
es, I see! I understand 1 I know
y where the forgery, the prevari
t and the perjury come in. I was
red to pass a pleasant evening at
my own fireside. In order to heighten
the pleasantry I offered to help you im
prove your orthography, but you—
you"—
"I show yon where yours can be im
proved," she finished.
"Very well, madam —very welL I
have business in the library which may
keep mo up all night. You can retire
whenever you wish. The train which
you will take to go to your mother's
leaves at 9:40 a. m., and I will endeavor
to see you for a moment before you go.
If I don't see ycu, then the papers will
be sent on for you to sign—for you to
sign, Mrs. Bowser. I wish you good
night and gcodby." M. Quad.
KLEPTOMANIACS ARE LISTED.
Bhj Stores Collect the Names of Those
Who Should Be Watched.
It will doubtless be astonishing to
(hose who have not studied the question
to learn that kleptomania has grown so
much during the last few years that
dry goods merchants have, so to speak,
formed a co-operative union of self pro
tection against the evil. Shoplifters are
easily dealt with and' disposed of, as
they are generally of the class who can
be punished to the full extent of the
law, but the kleptomaniac is usually a
woman of refinement, good family and
possessed of ample means, which per
mit of the gratification of her most ex
travagant noeds.
Strange as the assertion may seem, it
Mtrne and has assumed such propor
that in tho majority of the stores
tnore is a book kept in the private office
of the firm in which are written tile
names of the women who are known to
be thus afflicted, and when they are
caught in the act a hill for the goods
stolen is sent to the husband, father or
the person who has made himself re
sponsible for the things taken. It was
found necessary to do this after two or
three arrests had been made and the
culprit found, upon investigation, to be
long to some well known family. It wv
not only necessary for the protection of
the merchants against lesr, by the theft, j
but it was also more imperative from.
the fact that these exposures endangered
his business. After such an arrest and
the consequent publicity the family of
the accused were very loath to trade at
that particular store, and the with
drawal of such patronage meant loss of
thousands of dollar.; to the proprietor.
This explanation was given me by the
superintendent of ono of the largest de
partment store.'- - , where, after a thorough
canvassing of the principal retail stores
in the city, I found that it was no racro
gossip as to tho exigence of this hcok,
and the fact that kino cut cf ten em
ployed women detectives, not only for
the conviction c f shoplifters and pick
pockets, but to v. aton the more wealthy
offenders who WOic afflicted with what
is called a Bervr.ua disease in the medi
cal books—kleptomania. These women
;a'o obliged to ho very clever, bright and
intelligent, as they must lsarn to know
these kleptomi.i.iacs by rijrht and to dis
criminate between the professional and
the afflicted if they detect a stranger in
the act of purloining the firm's goods.
