A LITTLE WHILE.
t Is so natural that we fall asleep
Like tired children when the day Is
done.
That I would question why the living
weep
When death has kissed the laughing
lips of one.
We do not sigh when golden skies have
donned
The purple shadows and the gray of
night,
Because we know the morning lies
beyond,
And we must wait a little while for
light.
So when, grown weary with the care
and strife,
Our loved ones find in sleep the peace
they crave,
We should not weep, but learn to count
this life
A prelude to the one beyond the grave;
And thus be happy for them, not dis
tressed.
But lift our hearts with love to God,
and smile,
And we, anon, like tired ones will rest,
If we will hope and wait-a little
while.

g KENNEDY. I
t BY ANNABEL DWIGHT.
'A pretty cove making in from the
ocean, a strip of white sand, and some n
tall, gray cliffs for a background; antid
such a bright, breezy morning! The
cool waves leaped joyously in the June
sunshine, and caught a thousand glit- t
tering rays in the golden light.
Kennedy was just pushing off for
the yacht, as Beatrice Grant, accom
panhid by her friend, Miss Lizzie Ful
ton, came down to the pier.
Kennedy was the new skipper. The
last one, Dawson, had been discharged
for drunkenness, and this man put in
his place. ,
Kennedy was dark and handsome, of t
tnuagnllceent build, and had a decidedly e
plhturesque look, In his red shirt and it
white straw hat.
Beatrice, who was quite an artist,
looked at him applrovingly with her
great, calm. innocent eyes, as, seeing I
that she wished to speak with himn, he
brought his boat about, and stepped
out upon the pier.
"Is the Spray nearly ready, Ken
nedy?" she asked, graciously. "Our
party arrived today, and papa says
we are only waiting now for you and I
the wind," a little smile revealed the h
tiltl of her white teeth.
"'If the wind is fair, we can start to
~norrow; Miss Beatrice," said Ken
nedy, with an answering smile, which h
held an underlook of tenderness, as
his gaze rested upon the girl's fair face.
"Very well," she returned, in caul
unconsciousness that the handsome
skipper had presumed to admire her. f
She turned away, and as she did so,
a darned gray silk glove fell upon the
pier. al
Lizzie Fulton who was rather near- tl
sighted looking back, whispered hur
riedly to Beatrice:
"I believe that man has picked up in
your glove."
Beatrice turned back. In
Kennedy was standing quietly, with
folded arms, looking after her. tv
"Kennedy," with a sort of cold state- di
liness, "did you pick up my glove?"
"Your glove, Miss Beatrice?" he hi
said, imperturbably. "Oh no!" su
And then, as the young ladies moved ,
on, he threw himself once more Into
the boat, and pulled swiftly for the as
Spray, riding gracefully at anchor tr.
just off the shore. wl
Once on the deck of the dainty yacht, "y
he drew from an Inner pocket oi his a
loosened shirt a small, crumpled, gray ins
- glove. This he smoothed gently in wl
his strong brown palm, tenderness and
amusement both struggling in the hiat
smile which crept Jnto his hazel eyes. in
"A proud little lady," he said softly, ch
as he put the glove back again.
It was a jolly party which left th
Grant Ledge on the following morning. wa
for a cruise along the Atlantic coast. rev
Mr. Grant was the reputed possessor the
of a handsome fortune; and his mother- chc
less daughter, lovely, talented, and wot
just 19 had Invited most of her own N
particular set, with one or two elder- lre
ly ladies, for propriety's sake, and now sell
they were off for a month or two of de
lightful salling.
Among the party there were one or in
two would-be lovers of the girl, and les
occasionally, to escape their sentimen- Yoi
tal speeches, she would find Kennedy, Ket
and talk to him about the weather, mal
and the course of the yacht, etc., and K
Kennedy, thoroughly understanding and
her maneuvers, would aid her with poc

eyes. Be
But one time, as she approached the littl
wheel where he was standing a lurch cou:
of the vessel threw her forward, and thai
as he caught her upon one arm, he pen
brushed his lips lightly over the bright Al
brown waves of her hair. A delicate, aud
bright color flooded her cheeks Instant- hol
ly, and the small head crested itself
with the stateliness of a queen.
"Kennedy'!" she cried, Indignantly;
"you forget yourself! How dare you Bi
presume so?" full
Kennedy's dark face smiled down C,
at her with a conscious strength and cn
manliness.
"I dare to 'presume' in many ways, thlT
Msles Bee, if I cared to," he said, calm- nata
"You must not call me Miss Bee," at

gase seaward. I,

Turning his eyes once more upon her, for
he saw that she was trembling, andi reall
that she seemed powerless to move, Muc
with her wide eyes fixed upon him in a is n
sort of fascination.
The night breege was blowing up

and taking a wrap from the seat, all I

the reu&y response. "Kennedy Is the
son of old Lady Kennedy, down at
Birch Landing, two miles below our.
7 s place. She is a reduced gentlewoman,
ving and her son is a fine fellow-very much
above his present position. He was a
hing wild boy, however; ran away to sea,
and learned navigation In a hard
iave school. He might have sailed master
of of a large steamer to China, but his
mother, to whom lie is quite devoted,
lies is growing old and feeble, and he
for would not leave her, although he could
find no employment suited to his ca
pacity. He applied for Dawson',
rare place, and I was glad enough to get
ace him, for he is a thoroughly good sail
or."
,unt Beatrice was very quiet all the rest
of that day, and watched Kennedy
dis- shyly from the corner of her long
lashed eyes. But to all appearance, he
od, had quite forgotten the little episode
ost, of the precedilng night, meeting some
ttle chance remark of hers with a gravely
respectful salute, and immediately af
ter requesting her in the most mat
ter of fact manner to step aside, as
the great boom swung about.
There were no more cozy chats with
Kennedy. Beatrice was angry with
herself to find that she missed them,
for the man could be a most delight
ful and entertaining companion.
Somehow his passionate words, so
he different from any she had ever list
ne ened to, haunted Beatrice. The sense
1ne lss compliments of the young gentle
hd men on board the yacht wearied her.
e Kennedy had told her wonderful
ire stories of the sea and strange coun
tries. She longed to be again on the
or old, pleasant footing with him, but she
was too proud.
At last, when they were nearing
home, came a terrible gale, when the
hIleavens were black above them and
be the sea black beneath, and all pande
m• Inonium seenied to be let loose, as the
i storm shrieked about them.
Beatrice, half dead with terror, felt

in her ear, and Kennedy's strong arms

IHe came in, dark and handsome in
e his splendid young manhood, and
smiled at the slender figure in its white
wrapper.
"I sent for you," she said shyly, "to
E ask your forgiveness for my foolish
r treatment of you. Papa," laying a
white hand on her father's coatsleeve.
"you told me not long since, to choose
a husband. I have chosen!" and she
made a swift gesture toward Kennedy,
i which brought him to her side.
1 "Bless my soul!" cried papa Grant,
laughing a little. and growing very red
in the face, "perhaps Kennedy doesn't
choose you!"
"Mir. Grant," said Kennedy, framing
the girl's sweet face in his strong,
warm hands, and kissing, tenderly andl
reverently the drooping white lids and
the red lips. "I love her, and I do
choose her above all other women. I
would give my life to make her happy."
Not a word about his poverty and tr
hlier riches--no cringing semblance of vi
self-destruction. Kennedy was quite br
as proud nIthis way as Beatriceherself. in

tary influence that renders it especially
smart. As ilustrated the May Manton
model is made from fine broadcloth in
a rich brown, with vest of cream white
and trimming of brown braid edged
with white, but all suiting materials
are suitable, vicuna and Venetian
cloths being generally good.
The basque is cut with a centre
seam, side backs and under-arm ggres,
and is fitted with double darts, the
many seams, as well as the narrow
vest, tending to give a tapering effect.
WThile it is excellent for all figures, it
suits the stout ones as few models
can, and reduces apparent size as far
as it is possible to do. The sleeves
are two-seamed and fit snugly to the
wrists, where they are slashed and
flare over the hands. The high stand
ing collar fits smoothly, and is singu
Inrly effective made of the two colors,
although it can be of either one en
tire, if preferred.
To cut this jacket basque for a
woman of medium size one and three
quarter yards of imaterial forty-four
inches wide, of one and three-eighths
yards fifty inches wide, with five
eighths yards for vest and collar, will
be required.

trated, the jacket is of fawn-colored
vicuna cloth, with hands of rich red
braid, the waist of soft-finished taffeta
in a slightly lighter shade with em
broidered dots of red, that match the
braid, and worn with a crush belt and
rollar of panne velvet ribbon in the
same warm color. Velvet could, how
ever, be substituted for the bolero with
admirable effect, and all suiting ma
terials are entirely appropriate.
The waist is made over a fitted lin
ing that closes at the centre front.
On It is arranged the full front, that
is tucked to form a pointed yoke. As
shown, it is included in the right shoul
der and under-arm seams, and hooked
over to the left; but, if preferred, can
be opened at the 'centre, the closing be
ing concealed by the folds. The little
jacket can be made entirely separate
and slipped on over the waist. It is
simplicity itself, fitted with shoulder
and under-arm seams only, and is
lined throughout with silk. The
sleeves are two-seamed and are fin
ished at the wrists with roll-over flare
cuffs.
To cut this bolero waist for a miss
of fourteen years of age two and three
eighths yards of material twenty-one
inches wide, one and one-quarter yards
forty-four inches wide, or one yard
fifty inches wide, with one yard of
silk twenty inches wide for the full
front, will be required.
Up.to-Dalte.
A golf skirt up-to-date has a new
fangled pocket added to hold a few ex
tra golf halls as a reserve for an emer
gency. This is an outside pocket, and
has an onvelope flap, which buttons
over to keep the balls from hopping
out during exercise. The pocket must
be placed at the left side. It would
be in the way of the player if ar
ranged at the right side. This can
only be made on a heavy skirt, such
as corduroy or cloth. The weight of
the balls would drag a pique skirt out
of shape. The pocket should be capa
cious, or there is no need, otherwise,
for its existence.
The Pointed Belt Front.
The newer leather belts for wear
with morning gowns are slender all
around, except in front, where the
lower edig. broadens to dip down and
produce the desirable long-waisted ef
fect. These new belts have two
buckles, only one of which is fastened.
They are on both sides of the pointed
piece of leather. A white ooze leather
belt is machine stitched with black,
and the black patent leather belts are
sometimes decorated with a narrow
facing of white leather on the edges,
or as often as not are stitched with
white thread.
Detbeable Sleeves.
This, the latest Idea In house gowns,
with its patent removable sleeve, will
no doubt prove a boon to women who
dislike getting the cuffs of their wrap- I
peer sleeves soiled while engaged in
household duties. Besides, it gives a

These house gowns may be-had in cal.

colder weather, quite attractively and
tastefully trimmed and designed, in
patterns to suit all tastes.
Scrim Bands Used as Trimming.
Narrow bands of Mexican drawn
work on white scrim are used to trim
a frock made of pale gray linen. The
bands are short and very numerous.
The ends of each band are turned up,
so that one band slightly crosses and
overlaps another. The bands make a
fancy border near the hem of the
linen skirt, and they also decorate the
edge of the open front Jacket, and
border the cuff of the "belied" sleeve.
A soft pink mull shirt front is visible
beneath the jacket, and a cravat and
jabot of yellowish lace is tied beneath
the chin.
For Larger Bleeves.
All the intimations from fasnion cen.
tres are to the effect that sleeves are
to be loose this winter. Not that there
is any danger of a return to the over
grown monstrosities of a few years
ago, but it is not going to be fashion
able to have the sleeve fitted closely
to the lines of the arm. Sleeves will
be draped. They will have dainty
caps and ruffles and shirrings, and will
otherwise be made an attractive fea
ture of the gown of the coming sea
son.
Almost to the Elbow.
Very long cuffs of lace are worn
over the forearm. They are close
fitting, rather a tight envelope for the
crepon or mohair beneath. They con
tinue their journey upward from the
wrist, and frequently reach the el
bow, where they are lost to sight be
neath the elbow puff of silk, or of
chiffon. As the upper edge of the lace
cuff is not visible, you can use piece
lace for the cuff, if you have no edge
lace with border of the suitable depth.
Revival of the Postillon Back.
A revival of the old-time postilion
back is predicted, with vest fronts of
every description. There will be tri
ple waistcoat effects, triple jackets,
long stole ends and many other fanci
ful ideas for those who wish to adopt
thent
nottons.
This season will be a button season,
and some very fancy ones are shown
in the shops.
For a Youthful Belle.
A soft blue veiling of light weight
is made up into an afternoon frock
for a little girl. The skirt comes to
the knees and a little further. It is
laid in accordion pleats, and has no
trimming whatever. The bodice has a
yoke and epaulets of tucked blue taf
feta. Over the yoke the plain blue
veiling is softly draped to the waist
line, which is indicated by a broad,
deep belt of blue taffeta. The sleeves
are entirely plain.
Chains Still the Vogue.
Long chains of antique design will
be popular during the season. Some
are hung with odd charms and pend
ants.
TLadle' Circular Skirt.
Skirts that fit snugly at the upper
portion and flare freely at the feet
make a marked feature of autumn
styles. The circular model lends it
self to the mode peculiarly well and
is becoming to all slight and medium
figures, at the same time that it is
singularly well adapted to cloths and
all wide materials. Indications point
to many striped materials for fall and
winter wear, and the illustration by
May Manton shows the skirt in a tan
cheviot with lines of brown, but all
plain and small figured materials are
equally suitable.
The skirt is cut in one piece, with
the seam at the back. It is fitted about
the hips with small darts, and the
fulness at the waist is laid in an in
verted pleat at the centre back. The
folds formed are graceful, and the
flare provided means abundant free
dom for t~he feet. When plaid goods
is used, a good effect is obtained by
making a seam at the centre front,
the pattern being laid on the bias edge
of the material in place of on the
double fold. The plaid must,of course,
be carefully matched, but when that is
done the result is a good one, and the
sides, falling on the straight, are nol
so liable to sag.

S Michael W. Regaa,who was killed in
the wreck of the fast bound mail train
of the Lake Shore at Weastield on
fa, Wednesday, May 23, Was one of the
rer best known locomotive engineers in
lf this part of the country. He was in
re, the employ of the Lake Shore for a
al. generation, and always enjoyed the
otr confidence of the officials of the line
nd as a man Who could make the time
in and do careful, conscientious Work.
Regan began railroading as a fireman
in 1863 on the State line work train of
the old Buffalo & State Line road, af
n terward extended to Erie, and callel
Im the Buffalo & Erie. and finally merged
Ie into the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern. In 1866 he got his step and
took the throttle of a switch engine at
Dunkirk. The next year he ran the
work train at Silver Creek, and on
e July 1, 1869, he went on the road as a
he freight engineer. In 1880 he was pro
moted to a passenger run, and up to
his untimely end piloted the passenger
le trains of the Lake Shore in winter and
summer. Regan came from a family
h of engineers. His brother, Thomas
Regan, has the opposite run on the
companion train. His brother, James
Regan, who died a short time ago,
was an engineer on the Lake Shore,
r and another brother, Edward Regan,
is an engineer o the Lehigh Valley.
His son, Francis Regan, is an engineer
on the Lake Shore, and his two broth
ers-in-law also run on the same road.
In Regan's career of thirty-four years
as a locomotive engineer he had but
three accidents, and none was the re
sult of his fault or negligence. He had
the reputation of making uniformly
good runs, and the train he was taking
out when killed is one of the fastest

fathoms in 1891, having been brought to P

Ornamental Skyscraper.
New York correspondence Pittsburg
Post: In an up-town side street a tall
building is approaching completion and
will be the first to exhibit a peculiarity *
of construction which has often been r
urged here as the best means of miti
gating the skyscraper's ugliness. This w
new building towers above its neigh
bors, and under ordinary circum- na
stances yards of unadorned brick
would face the spectator. But the
owner and architects have adopted the
plan imposed by law in Paris and have
decorated the sides of the building. b.
This ornamentation, which is simple
and tasteful, conforms in style to the 1
principal facades of the building, al
though not nearly so elaborate. If all
the New York's towering buildings liad
been treated in the same fashion, ob- p
Jection to the skyscraper would be less
pronounced than it is today.

standing that the university and the gi
various scientific societies will give tr;
their assistance In the verification of er
the weights and measures necessary fo
for commercial use. The details have in
been nearly all decided upon, and will ye
be submitted to the council in the a
near future. Since 1896 the metric sys- sp
tem has been used by the medical ser- p
vice of the army in the compounding ra
of formulas, this having been made di
obligatory. cl

Ran Away Backward.
A singular accident occurred In the
Frisco yards, near Joplin, Mo., recently.
Engine No. 126, running extra, left
town upon the Girard pasenger train's
time. The trains met on a curve on
the edge of town. Both engineers ap
plied the air brakes and reversed their
engines, also giving a full head of
steam to mitigate the collision. The en
gineer, fireman and trainmen of the ex
tra engine jumped for their lives. The
engines colided, but with only enough
force to crush the cow-catchers. Hav
ing a full head of steam and being re- -
versed, the extra engine, with no one
aboard, rebounded, and at a terrific
speed began backing out of town. It
passed through East Joplin going at a
rate estimated at a mile a minute. The
dispatcher was promptly notified, and
1ii trains in its direction were held to
prevent another collision. Searcher
found the engine two miles from town
on a hill, with the steam and water ex
hausted, but with no apparent damage
from Its wild run

a He was a sanctlmonious-looking man,
I clad in aqseverely cut suit of somber
I, black. He even called for black coffee
f when he quietly took his seat at the
counter in the light lunch cafe near
Tenth and Chestnut streets, on Satur
day night.
It seemed strange to the otber cus
tomers of the place that so religiotis a
tman as he appeared to be should be
drinking black coffee at midnight, says
the Philadelphia Record. Black coffee
is calculated to keep a man awake all
night. Perhaps, thought the others, he
has a long sermon to prepare for dellv
ery in the morning, There was atoth
er surprise for the patrons of the place
when the sober inO-ifdunl placed a
cigar box on the counter beside him.
They wouldn't have been surprised if
it had been a prayer boolk or a Bible,
but a box of cigars seemed much too
worldly. However, the best of Chris
tians smoke sometimes. This Obristian
quietly drank his cup of black coffee,
and after paying for it picked Uo his
cigar box and started for the door. Un
fortunately, however, he carried the
box with the bottom uppermost, and
the next instant an aetounding thing
happened.
The lid of the box swung open, and
about a half-peck of ,ed, white, and
blue chips, togetherwith several bunch
es of aces, kings, queens, ten-spots and
the like were distributed all over the
floor. The clerical-looklng gentleman
ejaculated "blankety blank blank" sev

':I do not feel very well, I am so
tired all the time. I do not know what
is the matter with me."
You hear these words every day; as
often as you meet your friends just so
often are these words repeated. More
than likely you speak the same signifi
cant words yourself, and no doubt you
do feel far from well most of the time.
Mrs. Ella Rice, of Chelsea, Wis.,
whose portrait we publish, writes that
she suffered for two years with bear
ing-down pains, headache, backache,
and had all kinds of miserable feelings,
all of which was caused by falling and
inflammation of the womb, and after
doctoring with physicians and numer
ous medicines she was entirely cured by

If you are troubled with pains,
fainting spells, depression of spirits,
reluctance to go anywhere, headache,
backache, and always tired, please re
member that there is an absolute
remedy which will relieve you of your
suffering as it did Mrs. Rice. Proof
is monumental that Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound is the
greatest medicine for suffering women.
N'o other medicine has made the cures
that it has, and no other woman has
helped so many women by dit-ct advice
as has Mrs. Pinkham; her experience
