Now and then, late at night, some belated pedestrian would see ttfe glimmer of a fire in the vicinity of the cave, and then stories were told that he was holding communion with the Prince of Darkness.

I will accept an old coat if you have one to sleep on. They have stolen my bedding." Nothing would induce him to accept money and the butcher gave him several old coats. After that he frequently did odd jobs for the butcher. When the butcher gave up the business a few years ago he was succeeded by a man named Powell. Mr. Powell tried to get him to accept meat as well as clothes, but without success. He expressed a desire for ginger bread and since then Mr. Powell has seen that he is always provided with it The only thing that the man will accept is loose tobacco. He uses it in large quantities. Since his cave was destroyed he has always carried his old coats on his arm during his wanderings. His present habitation Is fn the woods right near Morris Park.

After a severe storm, fearing he might have been frozen to death, searching parties have gone to the cave and found him enveloped in the coats trying to shove away the snow with a limb of a tree.

One was leading a mule and the other un old steed that looked (like a broken-dow- n car horse. Presently the man on the yellow horse said to the other: 'Well?': Thel answer was, 'Well?'

Rosa Bonhenr the First to Win a Salon Medal, Other (Ireat Artists. Mile. Rosa Bonheur's first salon medal, won in 1845, marked the opening of the gates to a veritable army of her countrywomen, says Munsey's Magazine.1 There are today in Paris several hundred lady painters not mere amateurs or students, but artists whose work is admitted to the salons and who carry off a respectable share of the prizes offered there. Henriette Brown and Nellie Jacque-ma- rt were among the earlier leaders; Madeleine Lemaire, Berthe Delorme, Mme. de Chatillon and Louise Abbema ff are more widely known. Marie made a precocious success a few years ago, and her "Meeting" a clever study of street boy life was purchased by that government for that goal of the young French painter's ambition, the official collection in the Mile. Bashkirtseff's Luxembourg. death prematurely ended a career whose possibilities were at least interesting. It is noteworthy that among the leaders of the artistic sisterhood of Paris are several women with whom painting is only a pastime. A few years ago Princess Mathilde took a medal at the salon; Baroness Nathaniel Rothschild has been a frequent exhibitor; Sarah Bernhardt has shown both pictures and sculptures which have attracted marked attention and much praise, mingled with a few queries whether the work was really the tragedienne's own. It is an undoubted fact that she has talent, and that she studied in earnest with Alfred Stevens. s ' O asis and Ibapah NEPHI, UTAH. Watches and jewelry promptly paired. Mail orders solicited. PARIS.

Our' Puritan Forefathers Forbade Women to Wear Them Very Wide. Dedham, Mass., leaps into popularity or at least into notoriety with a mighty bound, and all by aid of big sleeves. It appears, and the press of the land begins to ring with the news, that long, long ago Dedham set her face mightily against the iniquity of puffed sleeves and the .vain temptations thereof, and, with Puritan fervor and promptness, them. A mupassed a nicipal statute of Dedham of the year of grace 1639 reads, we are informed: "And be it further enacted, That hereafter no person whatsoever shall make a garment for women or any other sex with sleeves more than half an ell wide in the widest part, and so proportionate for bigger or smaller persons. And for present reformation of immoderate great sleeves and some other superfluities which may easily be redressed without much prejudice or spoil of garments it is oredered," and so on. The "immoderate sleeves" of 1895 are big enough, in all conscience, but nobody expects any legislation against them. ., Dedham is herewith 'warned against trying to revive her ancient statute and put It into practical working use. The "Old" woman of 250 years ago may have meekly bowed to the, decree of "tyrant man" and furled her sleeves at his bidding, but the "New" woman at the present is firm for her Inalienable "rights" to be as fashionable as she pleases.1 There would arise a cry of protest from the four corners of the country if any should try to make a law against big sleeves.

"Pooh!" was. all the reply she deigned to give, though presently, after apparently cogitating and arriving at the conclusion that this ejaculation, expressive enough in its way, could not help me very much, she made some remarks which were altogether too flattering to myself and, by implication, to the male sex to be here set down at large. Ultimately I managed, by pressing the question, to solicit something definite on the subject, the gist of which was that, when women kiss each other, do so merely as a matter of form, they meaning by it for the most part no more than a mere handshake, and often less, for there may be warmth existing in a kiss between members of the same sex. Sometimes, but very seldom, women kiss because they like each other. They also 'kiss because they don't like each other, and in that case they are sure never to lose an opportunity of kissing each other most punctiliously. They may hate to do it ever so much, and yet whenever they meet they eagerly make a pretty little dab at each other's faces, which passes muster in the eyes of outsiders as quite a touching exhibition of womanly kindness and affection, though those who know the real state of affairs only smile, and perhaps remark, "How Mrs. A. and Mrs. B. do hate each other, to be sure. See how sweetly they kiss!" The whole-hearte- d kiss of young as of the innocent yet ways and girls, deceitfulness of the world, is a pleasant thing in itself; but once they are initiated into the wiles of society there is no social usage which jars more on their tender feelings, before these become than the feminine habit of kissing, which so transparently cloaks all manner of unpleasant and uncharitable thoughts. the leader of his party of the empire state in the general assemply. He was not, however, an unalloyed comfort to the veteran wheel-horsand machine bosses of his party. They soon found khat the young man had a dangerously well developed conscience, an uncomfortably stubborn will and large practical resources in the political arena. Fought by the machine politicians of ooth parties he made a memorable and plucky contest for the passage of a ?ivil service reform law, and was finales rewarded with victory. The actual workings of the law have substantially t. vindicated his shrewdness and Six years ago he was appointed to membership on the United States civil service commission, and his continuous and vigorous labors in that capacity have contributed very largely to the firmer establishment and the wider extension of the merit system in the government service. While he has thrown his major energies into the fields of politics and reform he has accomplished much, by the way of diversion, in the field of literature, having been a frequent contributor to the foremost magazines.

In the former class he is best ly fore-ligh- out-of-lo- . or law-prohibiti- case-hardene- The Episode. Dr. Rev. I. J. Lansing, who recently d charged President Cleveland with drunkenness, has finally been induced to withdraw his charges "for the sake of harmony In the church," as he puts it. Dr. Lansing's charge was made before the Methodist conference at Salem, Mass. Prior to that time he was somewhat obscure as a preacher, but the nature of the charge at once made him a national figure. He is 4& years old and has been in the ministry of Methodism twenty years.
