JACK rurs vacation.
A Tale of the Wonderful Transfor
mation of a "Shark."
HAS Jack Rule
there was prob
ably no 'harder
worker In the
business. Before
tha rale was
passed by the
union, that. In
order to give
as many men as
possible a chance
to makealiving,
HO man should
n,...i
i work more than
U day in the week, he used to work
even religiously well, not exactly re
ligiously, because he necesaarilv ignored
the seventh day, set apart sabbatically
for rest but, at all events, he worked
with faithful assiduity. When the six
day rule was passed over his vote, he
gTew soured and discontented; full of
dismal prophecies about the trade go
ing to the dogs for the sake of a few
vargrant bunt printers, and bitterly
retrospective about the good old times
when a man. If he chose, might put In
one hundred hours a week, if he could
possibly accomplish such a miracle.
Jack Rule was not of the drinking
order of printers at least not in pub
licand this peculiarity gave him an
excellent excuse for curtly refusing to
give assistance to any wandering
printer whom circumstances had tem
porarily embarrassed. "No man," he
need to Bay, "need to starve if he is
sober and works as hard as 1 do." To
tell tha truth, Jack was miserly so
miserly that it almost seemed to be
music In his ears when It was broadly
hinted by some poor fellow that he was
a "hog," or when it was suggesed by
his fellow workmen that he would
mako a first-class "Shylock" for the
composing-room of the famous Marl
gold Mirror.
Jack's fellow workmen on the Mari
gold Mirror did not like him much.
They therefore made him chairman of
the chapel. It so happened that in the
first few months of his incumbency of
office some Important subjects demand
ed the attention of the chapel. There
were rumors that the proprietors of the
Mirror Intended to substitute type-set
ting machines for men, and the ques
tion, whether or not this action should
not be opposed as being distinctively
destructive to the trade of the compos
itor, led to many warm discussions In
which a minority who held that the in
troduction of machines could only in
Jure bad printers, whom the trade
could well afford to drop off the roll
were bitterly opposed by a majority
w ho felt by no means sure of their pO
sition if it ever happened that their
brains and hands had to be pitted
against a senseless automatic type-setting
machine. This and a number of
other matters worried Jack Rule as
chairman of the Mirror chapcL He
tried his best not to lose any time over
them, but, do what he might, he found
his mind distracted and his string
notably shortened week by week.
June ended and July commenced with
Jack Rule in a bad state of mind and
body. He was worried, first, because
his weekly bills had fallen off in spite
of his extra exertions to work better
than ever. Then he was worried, next,
because he had begun to notice a dis
tinct failure In his appetite. His gen
eral condition was by no means Im
proved when one after another of his
friends exclaimed: "Holy Moses, Jack,
but you're looking ill. What's the mat
ter? You had better look out for your-
tclf before it's too late." lie was com-
"HO HAH NERD 6TARW IT HK IS SOBER."
polled to listen to a number of doleful
stories about other fellows who had
looked just like him and then drooped
away and died in some lonely Corner.
If a printer died anywhere within two
hundred miles of him, It seemed ts him
as if he were the first to be told the
news. He took to weighing himself
regularly at the restaurant which he
used to patronize for fancy canned
goods, and in the course of three or
four weeks found that, he had lost
nearly ten pounds. This confronted
him with evidence which there could
be no denying. His friends might lie
about his appearance and condition,
but the weighing machine had no in
terest in deceiving him and couldn't if
it wanted. He became hypochondriac
al. No longer did the bright sunshine
of balmy July days gladden his soul.
To him the world was black and full of
weariness, and ha yearned grievously
for the lost ten pounds.
One day Jack told his sorrows to a
physician and waited in an agony of
doubt for tha verdict "Tut, tut," said
that Individual, after making a brief
examination; "there isn't much the
matter with you. You have Blniply
been working too hard and have run
down a bit - Take a trip into the coun
try for a week or two. Go anywhere,
but get away from the office of the
Mirror." Jack hadn't lost a day's work
in twelve years and he hated the idea
of other fellows making a big string on
bonuses and fat pickups when he would
be doing nothing. However, he couldn't
keep something from ringing in his
ears: "Remember you. have lost ten
pounds in a few days." So one day he
packed bis grip and went to visit a
cousin of his who had mwried and seV
tied down on a farm in Iowa, lie re
ceived a hearty welcome, for the cous
ins had not met since they were boys
at school together in the little red
house on the hilL
Although Jack's cousin's wife was a
pretty woman, with plenty of animal
spirits and hospitable kindness. Jack
moped for the first day or two. The
thought that tnose other fellows on the
Mirror were piling up big bills while
he was earning nothing was gall snd
wormwood to him. "I'm afraid Jack's
mind is III at ease" Jack's cousin said
to his wife one day. "Fiddlesticks:"
replied that hearty dame, "it's only his
stomach out of order. Wait till he gets
back his appetite and see what you
think." Jack began to take long walks
about the farm. lie drank in plenty of
sunshine and rejoiced in tha grateful
shade of the spreading trees. The
flowers grew brighter in his eyes and
the sweet scent of roses wet with dew
actually forced in upon his mind one
morning, with the sudden swiftness of
a revelation, the conviction that Heaven
has granted to mortals more pleasant
smelling places than a printing ottire.
And this slave of the case, this wor
shiper of so many thousand ems per
week, stood up and said he was thank
ful that there was fresh air, bright sun
shine and glorious Sowers and that na
ture everywhere was so beautiful and
refreshing. In fact, Jack's appetite was
coming back, and with It a healthy
frame of mind.
Jack had been so utterly selfish In
type-grubbing for years that woman
existed for him only as something ha
occasionally met with In the para
graphs he setup. Hence, when he was
introduced by his cousin to Mary Itlane,
his cousin's wife's sister, he had be-

lady. Yet she was very fair to look
upon. She was tall, handsome, rosy.
checked, and the play and sparkle of a
perfectly healthy life shone In a thou
sand lights in her dark-blue eyes. As
Jack s normal appetite and reawakened
mind returned lie began to take partic
ular notice of Mary's personal charac
teristics. She was an eorly riser and
was generally to he found in the flower
garden, or among the cows, or in the
field where the farmhands were at
work. Jack had worked for years at
night upon a daily paper, but somehow
he had not been long upon tha farm
before he, too, had boeome an early
riser. It was also, at least, a singular
coincidence that In the course of his
morning b trolls around the farm ha
met Miss Mary frequently and found
her company grow more and more
agreeable. He had Intended to return
to the Marigold Mirror after a week's
absence, but at the end of that time he
wrote to his sub just to keep on sub
bing until further orders, as he found
his health improving rapidly. Owing
to the peculiar characteristics of farm
life Jack and Mary were thrown a good
deal together. He always found her
merry and full of fun, so that, although
he was at first inclined to play the mel
ancholy Dano to ottract pity and Inter
est In his case, he gradually found him
self being langhcd into a state of abso
lute jovialty. Cupid must have been
hiding in the grass or among the rose
bushes, for certainly great changes
were taking place In the demeanor of
the "shark" chairman of the Marigold
Mirror.
A fortnight, three weeks, had slipped
away, and July was melting into Au
gust, but still Jack Rule lingered on the
farm. He explained this lengthening
of his stay to his cousin by saying that
his cure wasn't quite complete yet,
although he felt himself getting better
every day; and then the cousin's wife
winked and smiled slyly very slyly
and whispered to her husband that per
haps Mary lllane would have a good
deal to do with the ultimate cure; with
which opinion Jack's cousin Instantly
concurred. One morning when tho
birds were twittering merrily among the
bushes and the Bun was spreading a
tempered radiance over meadow ana
tree and brook, Jack found himself
gathering a posy of dew-drenched flow
ers. "What will 1 do with them?" he
asked himself. "Well," he answered
to himself, "I'll give them to Mary,"
and as this lady, with her pleasant face
shadowed in a large sunbonnet, ap
peared at that moment in the doorway
and called him to breakfast, no doubt
he carried out his intention.
Six weeks after Jack Rule's vacation
commenced he reappeared in the Mari
gold Mirror office, looking as brown as
a berry and as happy as the biggest
sunflower ever seen. His manner was
so different from what It used to be, ha
looked so much more like a good
natured human being, that he was
hailed with inquiries on every side.
"Hello, Jack. How did you enjoy your
trip?" "First rate, never enjoyed my
self more In my life, I feel as If I dou't
care for typesticking any more. Any
how, I'll put on a sub for two nights a
week for some time to come." Another
said; "Hello, Jack, how much do you
weigh now?" And Jack replied: "More
than twice what I did when I went
away." "Why, how in thunder is that?"
"Well, you see, I've got a better half
now, and the weipht of the whole nat
urally exceeds the weight ot tl:i
moiety." .Then Jack jet theis. up for
the whole house iiiceamaii an extrav
agance Such s he had never before
been guilty of.-Malcolm Mcl'hcrsor,

A DAINTY LITTLE DRESS.

Ohb '
Simplicity Is synonymous with beauty
In a child's wardrobe much trimming
and adorning being- altogether out of
place on tha little figures, which pos
sess sufficient beauty in themselves.
Perhaps of sll the quaint, pretty little
costumes for the wee bit women noth
ing can quite take tha place of tha
guimpe, with its overdress of contrast
ing color and material. Its universal
popularity and long living prove ita
menu. .-..,
The accompanying illustrations show
a little costume dainty enough and
pretty enough for a small queen. The
guimpe is made of soft white woolen
crape, arranged In small plaits in front
and back, and tha full sleeves nar
rowed Into a cuff of little plaits about
the wrists. The guimpe in question
has tiny ruffles of white China silk at
the throat and wrists for a finish. It
is simple and childish, and not at all
hard to "do np." The overdress Is of
delicate lemon-colored cashmere and
harmonizes wonderfully well with the
cream-white cape and the bonnle little
baby face. One can hardly imagine
how beautiful a combination It is till
one sees a little lassie of four summers
light in the middle of it
Three yards of material cashmere
is enough, but a half yard more will
not be too much, as It Is always well
to have some left over for one of Mr.
Stockton's "unforeseen contingencies."
Two breadths and a half make the per
fectly plain, full skirt whose only
trimming Is a broad hem, with per
haps a feather-stitching of silk that
mactly matches the material. It is not
an easy shade to match, and a poor
match is far from an Improvement.
The lining of the little waist is simply a
fitted, "round" waist, cut down square
ly from the shoulders, leaving just the
narrow shoulder straps, and making
the square opening for the guimpe
The cashmere is arranged over tha
lining, perfectly smooth under the
arms, but with ample allowance in
front and on both sides of the back for
tha fullness that constitutes the chief
charm of the whole dress. Find the
center of the piece of goods that.is
to make the front of the waist, baste
up a very broad plait, then cut
the outside to fit the lining.
That done, you have only to
unbaste the plait in the middle and
gethcr tha fullness into a ruffle at the
top between the shoulder-straps, put
ting In two or threa shlrrings, and ar
ranging the bottom of the waist after
the same fashion, but extending the
shirrings only about as far as the little
frill at the top extends. Under the
arms let it be perfectly plain. The
skirt may ba gied with three shir
rings as well, and then the waist and
skirt Joined. There Is no bell at all,
only as the shirring In waist and skirt
may resemble a belt.
The shoulder-puffs are straight pieces
of cashmere hollowed under tha arm
and gathered at top and bottom. First,
make little coat-sleeve linings, cut off
very short, indeed much shorter than
the outside sleeves of the cashmere,
as that will add greatly to the pufflness
and then arrange the full puffs over
them with a little ruffle and three shir
rings at the bottom.
The iUustrations really speak for
themselves, and tha fit of a costume,
When once under way, almost makes

SILK PETTICOATS.
Ho Reason Why b 1Vods Should Kot
Hake Iler Own.
Women who like to wear silk petti
coats are making new ones. The old
ones are nearly useless under the new
gown skirt; they flop about the ankles,
while the gown skirt is standing out in
flutes around the bottom. ; Few of the
old petticoats are over two and a
quarter or two and a half yards wide,
and they have no lining In them, but
their ntffln and lace hang in soft,
nhapeless n-.nss about the feet. t
Our own strong American silks make
excellent petticoats, The quantity re
quired is six and a half yards. This
does not include ruffles. Cut by tha J
diagram given here a petticoat of silk
will ba ena over which your dresa- '
maker will Uka to "hang your (Town ,
skirt, because the silk fullness holds it
out well; and worn over it your gown
will keep its eon tour an advantage
which silk petticoats possess over
cambric, however perfectly the latter
may be cut and made.
Gora tha front width with a differ
ence of ten inches at the top, then
take four widths of your silk and fold
it over according to tha first diagram,
measuring your corresponding tops
and bottoms exactly, with a difference
of seven and a half Inches between
them, . In this manner you get twa
gores out of one width. Four of these
widths make eight gores, and these
are put together, four on either side of
tha front, the bias edge, of Bourse, al
ways going to the back. A seam will
then fall directly down the back, and
the bottom of tha petticoat will lia ia
flutes just as your dress skirt does.
Before you put on your ruffles and
after you have trimmed tha bottom
even, face the skirt with a bias facing
of such stiffening material as you pre
fer, about twelve, inches in width; this
keeps tha skirt from draggling around
the feet. Across the four back gores
run a ribbon drawstring, which holds
the fullness together in tha back and
keeps t he dress skirt bouffant
In trimming a silk petticoat one or
two large ruffles are better than the
small ones commonly used. If your
skirt is well clesr of the gound you caa
pink them; otherwise hem them, for
the "pinking" gathers up to itself all
little straws and dust If tha woman
is tall and slim, so that it will be "be
coming," another ruffle inside the skirt
on the crinoline gives a pretty, fluffy
appearance when the dress skirt is
lifted.
There Is a new belting for petticoats
that Is Inexpensive, only nine cents a
yard. It is closely woven, of Dno linen
threads, and Is double, with the bot
tom edges fuller than the upper. This
gradation gives the nocessary spring
for the gathers over the hips and bock,
while the top keeps tha skirt tight
about the waist It comes only in
white and black, but these two colors
will answer all purposes. N. Y. Ad

THE FIRST QUARREL.
Why tha Tiniest Fracture of Family Pasce
Should Ila Avoided.
Watch beginnings. ' There is always
a point where the ' entering wedga
breaks in, and after this the progress
of disintegration is easy. It is the first
quarrel that makes possible the next,
and after one or two fights and recon
ciliations, those who love each other,
it may be devotedly, grow accustomed
to strife, and no longer feel horror
stricken at tha bare mention of it
The little rift Is not more than a hand
breadth, but may widen and broaden
until alienation and distress and tha
wreck of all household happiness fol
low the first tiny fracture of peace.
In the union of husband and wife,
Which is the most Intimate and confi
dential relationship on earth, there
must be something more than mere
superficial admiration, the one for tha
other, says Ladies' Home Journal. The
two have pledged to each other a life
long consecration. Nothing can affect
one without equally affecting the
other. For weal or woe they have
joined hands, and to tho outside world
they present a united front
And yet, if testimony could be taken,
it would be found that many married
people have not been perfectly happy
during the early years of wedlock.
There has been friction. Thcra has
been disappointment The little rift
has been suffered to open the way for
estrangement
"We decided," said a man whose long
life has been singularly tranquil and
satisfactory "we decided, my wife and
I, when we were married, that we would
never let the sun go down on any lack
of peace between us. We would ask
each other's pardon, if necessary, but
we would never quarrel. One or the
other should always give up the point
on which both could not agree, and,
whatever else came to us, we resolved
to have no discord." Beware of the
little rift
Eieklel on Ballooa Shoulders
The dressmaker's device of balloon
shoulders was denounced as long ago
as the time of Ezekiel, that prophet
having uttered the solemn warning:
"Thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the
women that sew pillows to all arm-
holes." The doubting can verify this
curse by turning to Ezekiel 13:18. Tha
old Hebrew prophets, by the way, were
severe critics of woman s fashions.

SOFT-SHELL LOBSTERS.
They Are Rach Good Estlna- That They
never Get to Market
"Never seed a soft-shell lobster?
Well, that's not surprisin'. You see.
they never get to market They're so
good that they always get ate first
The grizzled old fisherman wrung the
salt water out of his whiskers as he
talked, having just landed through the
surf in his boat with a fine cargo ot
fresh-caught lobsters.
"A soft-shelled lobster does not turn
up every day, even at this season," he
went on. "When I catch one my wife
cooks it for our own dinner. Good?
Well, you can bet Fried in boiling
lard, just like a newly shed crab, it's
the finest thing on earth in the way of
provinder. Something like a crab, you
know, but a great deal more delicious.
Delmonico would give 110 a dozen for
'em, only that they can't be got for any
price.
"You see, when the lobsters are shed.
ding they hunt for holes among the
rocks to hide in. Until they get their
new coats they don't usually walk
abroad, but stay quietly in dark cran
nies where no enemy is likely to find
them. At such times they are not apt
to be looking for food, and they don't
get into the pots on that account
There isn't any animal that is braver
than a lobster when he is in fighting
trim, but without his armor he is flab
by and helpless, and it can't bo ex
pected that he should take any extra
risk. It's only a foolish one now and
then that strays into one of the traps.
"Suppose you had to take off your
akin every now and then and wait for
a new one to grow. PVaps you'd feel
a trifle sensitive and retirin'. That's
just the way with a lobster. His coat
is ol plate mail It doesn't expand as
he develops. So the time comes when
he must swell or bu'st He bu'sts, and
when he comes out of his shell he is
bigger by a considerable than he was
before. The process is a great strain
on his health; sometimes he dies in get
ting through it He has to do the
same thing a good many times , before
he gets his growth, but after that he
doesn't shed any more.
"This is the season when lobsters
shed. Most of those wa catch are bus
ten. That is, whst we call those that
are on the point of changing their
coats. To do it they go away out to
sea, so that just now we have to go
twenty miles from land to catch them.
It doesn't take much skill. You see
we find them wherever there is rocky
bottom. Out where we go to look for
them there are great reefs of rocks
outcropping t a depth of nearly one
hundred feet There the lobsters make
their home in summer, shedding their
soats as people shed their clothes to go
in bathing ulong this shore in the lift
months." Washington Star.

WISE WORDS ABOUT WRINKLES,
It Is Much Easier to Avoid llln Them
Then It U to lure Them.
"Don't try to cure wrinkles avoid
them." was the Dractical bit of advL
that dropped trom the lips of a woman.
The speaker passed on with her friend,
but loft behind one who meditated Ion;;
and thoughtfully upon what she had
just hoard. - It to true wrinkles r fn
themselves .incurable save by the pentla
process of nature known as "fattening
up," which so often conies at tho ago
when wrinkles commence. As loj- bi
matter is supreme wrinkles will l a
subjugated. But there is a good dl
in avoiding the telltale lines. Care of
the eyes and facial repose are the two
things which count. Chewing-gum is
responsible for many wrinkles in
American faces, as is emotion. People
who make faces for a living, snch as
clowns and comedians; people who
squint and people who laugh and chat
ter perpetually, all have prematurely
worn and haggard faces. There foro

As for the eyes, just notice how nun h

read by artificial light strains the eyes
until the facial muscles as well as the
optie nerves are taxed to tho utmost
In winter the refracted sunlight from
the snow or Ice under foot, and In sum

shine on the sea and the beach, are in
fluences as prolific as the unrelenting
hand of time. Society women are tha
only elasa of weak-eyed people who
take proper care of their faces. Thv
save their eyes. If they are too vnln to

the fashionables make little um

programmes, catalogues and prayer

It is this sort of protection for the eyes
that retards the accumulation ef
