I UNTHANKFUL! ^
i It's a Pity.
About six months ago we
mentioned insurance to Mr.
?, tried to sell him some good
insurance; but he, like others,
?? said, "I am going to let you
^ insure my dwelling, barn and
^ all out houses this fall.'' Well
his intentions were good?he
really meant to insure; but
^* listen! only last week that
man's entire dwelling was
ff^, consumed by dames. Pity,
pity, to see a beautiful resi
if>- denee burn, unprotected by a
by a good policy ! This man
^ said to us after the misfor
tune, "Mr. Hurt I had fully
$T decided to have you insure
my property court day."
Moral: Don't wait 'til af
ter the tire.

COCKROACH RACES.
New York Men Who Bet Heavily on
Speed Contents Between
the Insects,
Cockroaches furnish excellent sport
when raced. At least one man in New
York makes- a business of this pastime,
and those who have attended his ex?
hibitions in a long room on the top
floor of an east side building care no
more for poker or horse racing, roulette
or faro bank, says the New York Press.
Two tin troughs, with vertical sides,
30 feet long, constitute the course. The
roaches?usually large Croton bugs
being started at one end, sprint to the
other, the one arriving first capturing
the stakes and his backers all the
money. It is no remarkable circum?
stance for $1,000 to change hands in an
hour. Men have trained roaches, which
they enter against all comers. One is
named Longstreet, after the Dwyer
horse, and he is a whopper, about three
inches long. I believe he holds all rec?
ords, and needs to be heavily handi?
capped now. When he gets under way
he touches the ground only in the high
places. The handicapping is done by
sprinkling fine sand in the trough, the
deeper the sand the more difficult the
progress. Any number of troughs and
racers may be arranged, but it is diffi?
cult for the eye to keep track of more
then two thoroughbreds at a time.

Dress Notes.
Lace hoods appear upon some of the
lace trimmed models for autumn and
winter tea gowns.
Raised stripes like cords appear on
lustrous grounds of Victoria silk and
peau de sole.
All the red shades of the summer
have deepened in tone, and the jacque?
minot and geranium dyes have been
again taken into favor by French milli?
ners and modistes.
Silk cord appliques, soutache in rows
or braiding designs, and fine jet and
chenille passementeries will decorate
handsome cloth costumes for winter
wear, but thus far, almost without ex?
ception, the designs sent to America
for smart tailor suits appropriate for
various autumn uses have merely a fin?
ish, at all the edges, of rows of silk ma?
chine-stitching. The effect of the cos?
tume depends entirely upon the very
handsome quality of the cloth or other
wool fabric used and the perfection of
its tailor finish.?N. Y. Post.
Why He Took His Departure.
Cholly?I shall never marry a strong

Minerva?No, of course, you won't.
The woman you marry will be weak

The reputation which some large
Btores get for being disobliging to their
customers or having uncivil clerks
could in the majority of cases be traced
directly back to the shoppers them?
selves, writes Edward Bok In Ladies'
Home Journal. I make no claim of
perfection for the clerks who stand be?
hind the counters of our great stores
where women shop. They are only
common mortals, full of faults. But,
considering what they are called upon
to go through and endure at the hands
of thoughtless women, the constant
wonder is that they are so civil and
obliging. If the truth could be known
it would be found that they suffer far
more than they inflict suffering. If the
roll could be called of hard-working,
innocent girls who hare lost their posi?
tions because of ill-founded complaints
made by "influential" customers whose
accounts the firm could not afford to
lose, it would be a roll of disgrace to
American shoppers. The girls behind
the counter are human?although from
the actions of some women we might
believe otherwise?human in their
faults, but also in their finer feelings.
Very often they represent better fam?
ilies, better breeding, than that which
is revealed to them from the other side
of the counter.
Commanded 100,000 Men.
There are few living generals who
have been called upon to command
more than 100,000 men in time of peace,
but that lot has recently fallen to the
German cavalry general, Count Von
Haeseler. He Is the commanding gen?
eral of the Sixteenth army corps, sta?
tioned at Metz, and he was intrusted
with the chief command during the
recent army maneuvers, which took
place on ground made memorable by
the conflict of 1870-71. The maneuvers
lasted more than a week, and four com?
plete army corps, an entire cavalry di?
vision and more than 100,000 men took
part, under the personal observation of
the general. The second in command
was Gen. Von Falkenhausen.
