Jolnett Sared Jefferson. _.\ t, REVERE was pot the ilty man who rode long and h: rd to warn patriots that the a itritish were coming, in the 1 days wi tn the present entente be tweeln i,gland and America was a thing tunditamed of. Worthy to rank 1 with it was the adventure of Jack I Jouett, a young Charlotteville innkeep- I er. who rode thirty miles to save 1 Thomas .ltfferson from capture. The 4 story is tld in St. Nicholas by R. T. 1 W. Duke. .Ir. Jack shrewdly guessed that Tarle- I ton would follow the highway into the 1 main mroa that led by the country- I seats, the homes of the gentry. Jack t knew a shiorfte route, an old disused rond thl:t would lead him to the river, 1 thlence t, Monticello. and then to 4 Charlottit.ville-not a pleasant road 1 to ride for ,:rive. though as picturesque a: route as one often sees; for oh either 1 side greiw great pine trees here, and I massive oaks there, while dogwood and sassafras and sumac filled the I space(. The road had once been a 1 buffalo track, then an Indian trail, I then a wagon road for a while, but as t no one \ver worked it or changed the I grade, it rapidly Washed into a suc- 1 cession of red gullies and became well nigh impassable. So it had - been abandoned many years, and nature had covered up the -cars made by the animals and men, and only in a few places could one have 'known that it had ever been used as a highway. Broom-sedge grew wherever there was an open space; ferns of a hun dred varieties clustered In every hol low where water ran, and the wild bramble ran riot everywhere in the I shade. Into this old road Jack pushed 1 his horse,. and soon was dashing at I full speed over hill and dale. It was a dangerous ride, even at a slow gait. Deep gullies lay concealed under treacherously smiling wild flowers. Ground-hog holes offered, pitfalls lia ble to break the leg of his steed; over hanging limbs swept him in the face. and the wild brier ever and anon caught him in a painful and harassing embrace. Hlp face bore for many years the secars left on his face by this brier. which, you know. climbs up trees and seems to throw itself from one to another. But Jack had no time to consider these things. He knew that in a few hours the enemy would be in "lharlotte:vllle, and make the Governor and Legislature prisoners unless he could give them timely warning. His mare was sure of foot, sound of wind, and no other fox hunt er got thei brush when Jack and she were in the hunt. So away he went, touching her light ly with the spur now and then. but often chit,-tlng her in the race with a merry whistle or encouraging word. He had rnirty miles to make. He I could have as easily made fifty on a good road as thirty through this .wil derness. At one point the disused road entered a field in sight of the highway aloing which TarletQn's le gion was passing, and a few strag glers saw Jack when he dashed into the open. They followed him. with loud shouts and a pistol shot or two, but when he dashed into the woods they abandoned the pursuit. Once his bay mare fell, her foot having caught in a mass of brush and brier and half rotten logs. but up she scrambled and away she wgnt, as if sha knew that the fate of a cenmon*i4lth de,p1ded upon her. In twio i6otrs Jack rode his thirty miles "and paused in the ford just opposite the little hamlet of Mil ton. two miles from Monticello. Only a mouthfult of'water did he -allow his gallant b:iy to slp and then he dashed up the river bank and on through the streets iof the village, stopping not at anxious hails of men and women, but inerly : houting: "The British are comling! The British are - coming!" In ten minutes he drew rein in front of it tqutttllt brick house on top of the flow fLatIouis t ountain. "He was a sight, to." the darkies said. His face was torn and bleeding' from the wild brier thorus, his gray blue suit cov ered w-ithl mud and dirt,,his mare cov ered with sweat and foam and pant lug as if her heart would burst through her sides Down from the porch in front of which Jack had halted came a tall, thin man, dressed in a suit of nankeen lace at his wrists and shirt front,. anlt with a little sword-cane in his haInd. This tdan had clear, spark ling ,tlu, eyes, and a thin skin under 'whic ti Ih blood almost seemed start ing. Its hair was thin and curly and ,o\i,)",td wi'th white powder.

'hen he came to the surface he $ dledd in saving both their lives. Years passed, and Tom, a man,' for sook the sea and went to Plttsburg, where he was employed in the rigging gang of a gas company. One day, while at the top of a chimney which rose 104 feet from the ground, he fell from the ropes and fell downward. He says: "When I found myself going to the bottom I was not at first alarmed. I had fallen before and jumped from higher points. But just then I hap pened to remember that in my former experiences I had jumped or fallen in to the water. So, says I to myself, 'You are going to get hurt, Tommy, so look out.' Down I went, and, to tell the truth, it seemed as though I had been on the way a ir.onth before I struck the bottom. Finally there was a crash and I saw more stars than all the astronomers have been able to dis cover since the wqrld has ueen. After the first jar was o'ver I felt a stinging sensation in both of my legs. I tried to get on my feet, but could not, and then was sure 1 had been hurt." What happened to his legs was this: Both ankles were telescoped and every bone in als left tfoot and ankle was broken. That leg had to be amputated at the knee, but tHe other leg was not hurt sb badly, and it was saved. Dougherty recovered, and now he is happy, and likes to tell how he felt when he was falling. A Story of Daniel Boone. In his book, "The Early History of Western Pennsylvania," Mr. I. D. Rupp tells an interesting anecdote of Colonel Daniel Boone, which Is char acteristic of the humor and coolness of the famous pioneer. He was once resting in the woods with a small party of followers, when a large num ber of Indians came suddenly upon them. Boone had little doubt as to. their hostile intentions, but giving no evidence of his fears, he invited the red men to eat with him and his friends. The invitation' was accepted. The Indians felt so sure of their prey that they could afford to wait. Boone, af fecting a carelessness which he did not feel, admonished his men in an undertone to keep their hands on their rifles. Finally he rose tnd strolled toward the Indians, unarmed, leisurely pick ing the meat from a bone. The In dian chief rose to meet him. After saluting, Boone professed ad miration for the knife with which the chief was cutting.his meat, and asked to see it. The Indian promptly handed it to him, and the pioneer, who pos sessed some skill at sleight of hand, deliberately examined the knife, then opened his mouth and apparently swal lowed it. The .Indians stared in amazement while Boone gulped, rubbed his throat, stroked his body, and then, with ap parent satisfaction. pronounced the knife "very good to eat." After enjoying the surprise of the Indians for a minute, he made another Contortion, and drawing forth the knife, as the Indians believed, from his body, he politely returned it to its owner. The old chief took the point can tiously and suspiciously between his thumb and finger as if fearful of being contaminated by handling the weapon, and flung it from him into the bushes. The Indians seemed uneasy after that, and very soon marched away, without showing their hostile intent. They did not choose to molest a man who could swallow a scalping-knife and call it "good to eat." Fought With an Eagle. A woman named Callahan. living at Carmel. Penn., had a desperate fight with an angle which was trying to carry away her two-year-old child. The child's face and hands were torn by the bird's talons and Mrs. Callahan was seriously pecked before she suc ceeded in driving off the big bird. The child had wandered into a clear lug near the house, and soon after ward Mrs. Cauahan heard her scream ing. From the door of her home the frightened mother beheld the monster bird peeking, clawing and flapping the little one who., with her hands and Sarms was trying to break away from her antagonist. Once the bird caught the child's dress in its talons and prepared to hear it aloft, but the child's struggles compelledt the bird to let go. The frightened mother secured a rifle and ran to the rescue of her child. She dared not shoot, but with the butt of I the gun she ran scrstuming toward the eagle. It was not to be driven off without a struggle. It let go of the child and turned its attention to the parent. The bird flew into the woman's face and pecked her eyes ailud nose, but with a well directed blow from tlhe club the eagle dropped to the ground. and after a mloment's scrambling took to the air •lud went flying away. It is said that during the past summer this eagle has carried away several pigs and that once before it had made an at tack upon a child. Mrs. Callahan says tlhat the bird was tive or six feet from tip to ilip of wing, and that its I talons were almnost riazor-like in their sharpness.

It was soon after the death of Prince Albert that the Royal Order of Victo ria and Albert, the first Victorian order to which feminine subjects of Her Ma jesty were eligible, was instituted by Queen Victoria. The first and second classes are open only to royal prin cesses, the third and fourth to past or present members of Her Majesty's household. A Moderate Wedding. A moderate outfit for a bride would be a good street costuine, several odd bodices, a black skirt, a silk gown and a house gown. These, with the clothes which she already has, entirely reno vated and remodeled. and a sufficient amount of neatly made under-clothing is all that any girl in moderate circum stances needs for her trousseau-even less would be in order.-Ladies' Home Journal. Blind Girl Leads a Choir. Probably the only blind girl in the world who leads a church choir is Miss Katherine .T. Dugan. She conducts the music at St. Aloysius's Church, St. Johnsbury, Vt. Miss Dugan is a grad uate of the Perkins Institute for the Blind, in Boston. having been graduat ed two years ago with honors. Last year she took the post - graduate course. In conducting she uses a baton, as any other leader would. Her music is, of course, an exact duplicate of the choir's, only the characters of hers are raised, and she reads by feel ing them. Gold Charms and Pendants. More fashionable than ever are gold charms and pendants. There ure noth ing more conspicuous now than dia mond-studded hearts, small and large, but the fad is to have the charms or iginal in form. Another craze is for charms in the form of flowers. No longer is it the thing to carry pictures in lockets, but instead there are hidden in them a prayer, a loved one's wish. a four-leaf clover or a bit of the.fur of the rabbit's foqt. worn for luck. Oth er designs in lockets seen are white enameled mice, with eyes of diamonds; also pigs, rabbits, owls and cats. Women in the Professions. According to statistics furnished by the United States Government, the pro fessions followed by women have largely increased in the last thirty years. In 1870 there was one woman architect; now there are fifty. Paint ers and sculptors have grown from 412 to 16,000. literary and scientific writers from 109 to 3161, preachers from 67 to 1522, dentists from 35 to 417, engineers from 07 to 201, journalists from 35 to 472, lawyers 'from 5 to 471, musicians from' 5763 to 47,309, doctors from 527 to 6882, accountants from 0 to 43,071, copyists and secretaries fropm 8016 to 92,824, and stenographers and typists from 7 to 50.633. Practical Dressmaking. In the attempt to make short-waisted people look long-waisted a great mis 'take is very often made in trying to have the waist below the belt fit too closely. Only exactly at the waist-line should the fit be made at all tight, for if the waist below the belt is too small the entire waist will be thrown out of position. The dressmaker en deavors by pulling it up on the shoul ders to make it fit smoothly across the shoulders and bust, and there instantly comes a most discouraging break be low the arms. All this can be avoided by allowing sufficient width below the belt. The waist can be made short comparatively short-at the back and sides, and a long point in front.-Har per's Bazar. Birthday Gifts.' Birthdays are ever recurring, as is also the question of what gift would most please the recipient. In a general way we would suggest to give: To the Joy-something that "goes." To the girl-something that's "pret ty." To the grandmother-something that's "useful." To the mother---something that's "ornamental." To the father - something that's "comfortable." To the sister-something that's "'per sonal." To the brother-something that's "swell." To the baby-something that'll please its mother. To the girl friend-something that's "dainty." To the orphan-a garment.-Phila Sdelphia Record. The Trall of the Sklrt. The topic of microbes reminds one of an appeal which, as yet, has appar ently been made in vain to the com mon sense of women, with the view of persuading them to abolish the trailing skirt. This utterly indefensible habit appears, so far, to have come to stay. The skirt that sweeps the pavemeht -and gathers up all manner of undesir able itemns lincluding the bacilli of c:onsulptiol) is an unhygienic mon strosity. It is more. for it represents a -wasteful practice, whereby often cost ly fabrics are ruined and soiled after a day's scavenging of the sidewalks. In summer.this skirt difftses microbes broadcast, for every woman who thus vortex qr e4lsto.m ua.. u lound. du. particles into the air. -pd th. isio es the infective mat oWl of ,e itmosphere. The la.St . fashion, t oberve. is that of carrying Fs the fold of the skirt in the hand. This T practice moust entail a fairly severe wrist strain, one would fancy; yet it flourishes unchecked. Sometimes the vagaries of fashion trend in the direc tion of common sense. The next move, ' let us hope, will result in the coming in 6f the skirt of sensible length. It is surely the extreme of folly to promen ade the streets in a skirt of a length p which of old one only saw worn in the house.-London Chronicle. Two News Notes. A new. kind of stitchery applied now to cloth walking dresses is called raiD bow. Shaded sewing silk is machine stitched in the ordinary way upon the fabric. Supposing a piastre gray cloth were chosen, all the strappings on the u gown might be of silk to match, or of E cloth if preferred, and the stitchery a be done in every shade of blue and a purple. Then the bodice would be car ried over to the left side and fastened with shot blue and purple panne bows tagged with silver, and the completion I of a waistbelt a throatlet would be I given to it, with the ndd'tional smart touch of a tiny turned-over collar of stitched silk. As was to be foreseen, the length ened coat skirts have revived the 'asque. On rich brocade coats the basque is usually a fluted flounce set I on from the waistline, and is often or na.nented with large faps covering the side pockets to match the turn-back cuffs at the elbow in fancy velvet. In others the basque is full and pleated; coming from underneath a waist-belt. while occasionally it is no more than a sort of coat-tail or tab.-New York Commercial Advertiser. WYovdoir WICHAT: The police justice in Alwert, Kansas, a woman. Edna Lyall is the pen-name of Miss Ada Ellen Bayly. Except for ceremonials Queen Vie toria was addressed as "madam"nj' "ma'am." It is estimated that 31,000 women voted at the last election in Utah, 11, 800 in Idaho and 8300 in Wyoming. It will be shown by the- census that fully 1,000,000 married women amO employed in the factories of the United States. It has been settled in Washington so ciety circles that Mrs. Nelson A.

Queen Alexandra has made a unique collection by keeping all the hats and bonnets she has worn in the last thirty years, during which term she has been the leader of English fashion. A Greek philanthropist who died re cently has left a large sum of money to establish an annual matrimonial lottery. A certain number of poor girls of good character are to receive tickets giving each a chance to win a sufficient sum for a marrihge portion. Of the whole girlhood of England between fifteen and twenty years of age over sixty-eight per cent are en gaged in actual lady toil, and in large manufacturing towns the ratio is much higher, six large towns of Lancashire ranging from ninety to ninety-five per cent. LEANINGS soops Some call American Beauty rouge red. Sailor collars bid fair to be with us forever. Large collars distinguish the average lounging robe. The loop of cord has fairly super seded the buttonhole. Only slender women affect the blouse which blouses in the back. Even the shortest train adds much to the grace of a house dress. Cavalier cuffs give a dash to many an otherwise commonplace jacket. Bishop sleeves, very slender ones, figure in any material from gauze to fur. Even pleated flounces, when gradu ated, are usually cut in the circular shape. Ribbon-run beading figures upon anything from a bit of underwear to an evening dress. There's an undeniable trimness about the cuffs and shaped belts which are stitched all over. The handsomest rainy day skirts have the stitched border in a separate, slightly gored piece-flounce fashion. Storm collars are more attractive when the pieces of which they are made broaden out into a shallow yoke. Storm collars which run into revere are cut so they may either rest grace fully open or hook tightly at the throat. Thin women should not strive to at tain curves by fulness which is tucked In at the yoke and again below Ithe bust, as it gives a look of meagreness well upholstered.
