He had noticed t At the Institution bad a couple of l .(una to let In the second story and Vii,hed-to hire them, using one as a t :op. and living la the other, an ar- n cement that the bank saw no rea- t n to object to. In due time the barber nop was not only opened, out proa rered. The barber felt he could af f ird his two brothers to come and visit 1 in. and the brothers took lodgings l .'r the bank, ana spent tneir even l! ks regularly in the industrious bar ber company, , - . About the same time, another stran ft. also a friend of the successful 1 arber, came -to -the city and took lodgings lit m note! opposite the. bank. He soon formed a habit of crossing the street of a summer evening and sitting on the bank steps ' with the regular watchmen. And he was a surprisingly fiureeable companion, the new comer evening after-evening he told the watchmen stories and sang them Fungs that kept the whole party In a el.-of merriment. -; - Meantime the trnrber and hla two "brothers,' Under cover of this outside diversion, were f lowly cutting their way through the vail and Into the back of the vault that stood next to It The Job was long end tedious nowadays It would have been Impossible." for so Important vault Would not back up against any Ignition wal whatever; but when it was finished, the rogues were many thousand dollars richer, to say nolle lag of what they had made honestly by eliaving their n patrons, among them eome of the officials of the very bank ti gainst which their secret labors had hecn successfully directed. ;. ' la another famous . robbery, con ducted along much the same lines, the thieves lived, for several of the months that are spelt with an R, as peaceful a a Oyster dealers, working up a pay- ins trade' in toe harmless bivalves in the basement of the banking building and directly Under the vault. In an c !ir case It was a dentist instead of a i nrber who hired rooms over the bank and even filled teeth for some of itsi unsuspecting officials, thus, one m pht say.; restoring in advance some of the gold which he and his com pan i-later successfully extracted from l-s supposed strong boxes. And In yet another Instance the room adjoining the vault was turned Into a shoe maker's quarters, where the disguised cracksmen cheerfully cobbled all day and then spent a portion of each night in worming their way into tne bank. DKDite the great number of suo cesafui burglaries of this kind and from about I860 to the last decade of the century they were almost too nu merous to mention the number of unsuccessful attempts was very much greater. The bank robber Was not al ways as smart as he thought himself, and he by no means 'invariably suc ceeded in- -opening- a safe-even- when he had all night to do It In. Sometimes the safe - foiled him : more often the pang was Interrupted before it was -yen a "fair chance" at the vault at and at other times the sound of e explosion made by blowing' a lock t.:i'. or bursting wteet doors in aroused outside suspicion. The story Is told of one gnng ot robbers who so completely misjudged the amount of explosive necessary to open a safe that they not . ii?y aeaxly- wrecked the whole bank ini ildlng itself, but woke' up every ho ly in the neighborhood.

Fosad to be Dolag a Oood Work. , Chicago Inter-Ocean. - An organisation which had its ori gin In the fact that many marriages in Indiana are followed by appeals to the divorce courts, but which was re ally started In a spirit of fun, bids fair now to extend to all parts of the State, and in the end It may prove a corrective for the divorce evil. Several weeks ago some of the young wpmen of Milan, Blpley county, organ ised a leap year cinch club. It was de signed to furnish Information to its members regarding marriageable young men and bachelors, and the members proceeded to list the. men, of tha Imme diate vicinity, each name being fol lowed by a short sketch ot tha owners' personal characteristics. This was followed by similar organi sations at Versailles, Osgoodt Moore's Hill, DUlsboro, Batesvtile, and other towns In Ripley and Dearborn counties. Then the members of these different organisations got together and conclud ed to act In concert ' Typewritten lists of the young men and their traits were exchanged by the members of the clubs of tfit different towns, wnen tnese lists were com pared by committees appointed by the clubs it was found tha- every young man In the two counties was listed, and, in addition, all the traveling men who visit the county ana who were known to the young women of any of the clubs. Certain terse designations for the rec ords were agreed upon and each of the young men was listed by number In the typewritten sheets and this number cor. responded to another number in a rec ord book where a fulfer description was Kepi. If. for Instance, No. 1 on the type written sheets was followed by the words, "not desirable." a reference to the book gave in detail the reasons why he was so characterised. It No. 3 was followed by the sentence, "A hard worker, but stingy," -tha record gave examples of nets from which the conclusion was reached. One man was characterised as "rich, but dyspeptic"; another as "good look ing, but knows it:" another as "needs a wife with a. strong will." and so on throughout the list Tha story of the object for which the clubs had , been formed got- out, of course, and hundreds of letters have been received by members asking for fuller details. In several other counties similar clubs are now being formed, and It is quite possible ahat they will Boon exist in nearly all the counties of the State. Tha organisers have been compli mented from pulpits by ministers who have felt that the Indiana divorce rec ord Is a disgrace to the State, and Judges and influential cltlsens have given the clubs their unqualified in dorsement. It la said that in Dearbon and Ripley counties the influence of the organisation is already becoming apparent on some of the young men, for they have found a marked differ ence between the actions of some of the girls toward them since the clubs were organised. This Is specially true ot the young men who, being under more or less of a cloud at home, had found no trouble in entering the society of girls In other towns In the -county where they were not so well, known. The latest ' reports on the subject of divorce, compiled from all the counties of Indiana by the State statistician. show that there la one divorce for each seven marriages. These figures have led people to commend the course taken by the young women of Ripley and Dearbon counties, and they are urging similar action in other localities. It Is not Improbable that the organi sation, begun In a spirit of fun, but now .working earnestly for the good of us members, will, be extended to all parts of the Rtate and will prove cor rective of arowtag,:vri.lji;:)rt;"1v,ftM; - A NOTED MINISTER was stricken down, with rheumatism; the President of the United States has been laid ud with 1L and the last dava of England s Queen are rendered mis erable by its tortures, yet there Is a certain unfailing cure for this horrible disease in Dr.' Drummond's Lightning Remedies.

October) the very name is somehow, suggestive of brides, for. with the ex ception of June, this -is the month when,' full-fledged, these happy beings most venture into the new life..; I once knew of a small boy who went with his father, a minister, to see a couple married. The ceremony seemed to impress the little fellow very deep ly, and that night when he said his prayers beside his mother's bed, he surprised her very much by saying: ()! Lord, bless ail the people who are getting married, and help them to keep all their promises." "AH the world loves a lover," and so' we, too, add Ood bless 'em, but I sometimes wonder if divorces would be less com mon If we were to offer the prayer of the little boyf In other years I used to wonder how In the world a minis ter could take a text and then get so absolutely far away from it but now 1 know how easy it.is-for one little word or thought to recall a dozen things hardly even apropos o,f the sub ject In hand, nmj thus leave the text nover to return. TUKingi warning, therefore, from past experiences, 1 hasten to retrace my steps to the sub ject of fashions, from which, per chance, even now I have wandered too far; Trosaeaus. then, occupy tne minds of many a girl and young wo man now, and I know Just how eagerly they scan all papers which have any thing In them concerning this all-important wardrobe. Especially is this true when strict economy must be practiced and every dollar Invested made to do almost double duty. Do you know it Is not always the money, however, that gives the prettiest nor the happiest outfit: not by a great deal. It has tiot been but a few weeks since a friend said to me: "I want you to come and see my trosseau; I have Just gotten the bill for a thousand dollars, and the things are quite handsome, you know.'' Of course they are, and it Is well worth anyone's while (especially when so Unaccustomed to such things) to see those elegant gowns of chiffon nnd lace, the linings of which were pretty enough for any "top" garments. Then ' the handsome street suits, and house dresses together with dressing suques. hats, shoes, and accessories too numerous to mention. The owner, too, of this beautiful wardrobe, is Just as attractive as can be with all her money-but I could not help thinking of another llittle bride-to-be. Whose entire trosseau, I am sure, cost less than $150, in spite of which the heart of this little woman is brim full of good - humor and happiness. The honey-moon .Is to be spent, among the mountains of her-native State, and if you could see the pretty tailor-made tan cloth traveling suit, you would want one Just like It. Besides this, there Is a beautiful gray crepe de chine, a dark blue silk shirt-waist BUlt, and other things, all that is necessary and so pretty. Now you might think I am "romancing" about such-a nice outfit, for so small a sum. or that the other person I chance to know has spent a thousand, but 1 am telling facts and simply call attention to the two to show that the thousand dollar sister has not the best side of it by a great deal I do not mean to say, however, that I should not like to have' the thousand to spend In clothes, if I wanted to, but ft seems to me I should not care to do so. 'To the girl clever with her needle, there Is so much she can do for herself: but I should always advise the hiring of one, at least sure enough tailor suit. For 35 a suit nice enough for any one may be purchased that Is, made by a first-class tailor, then with this suit, a hat to match, simple In all its style, but well made and becoming, -will truly be a most excellent foundation. Of course on this small outlay you may not have silk and linen underwear, but you can have Just the daintiest mus lin garments, and also one silk petti coat, at least. Let this be a black taf feta one which may. then do duty un derneath all the dark skirts, regardless Of color. Then there may be, and must be, perhaps, a gown for suitable for evening wear, and this is made of some pretty white material with high neck and long sleeves, and It will do nicely for a formal dinner, or after noon reception. If one cares for a regular decollete dress and needs it. then a good economy Is to have two waists to one skirt, making one of these full evening. There should also be In this simple troussaau several sep arate waists -and a shirt-waist suit, silk, or a good wool material In brown, blue, or gray indeed and becoming color, for these suits are to be worn and are so very useful many of our needs must be decided by the place In which we shall live. You know there are many small places where a "real" evening gown is never seen. and then why have- one. even though you have lived where they are heeded? Do you know, it is not so much wnat we have, as the way in which we are able to utilise our belongings the way in which we "wear" what we do have? 'Be careful in the way you put your clothes on," a friend used to say to me, and I am sure there is more truth in that very thing than halt of us realize Clothes which are all out of nrnnnrtlon to one's known Income too. Is bad taste, to say the least of it. sides a positive wrong to our husbands or fathers or whoever may be the provider. Public opinion is an awful and wonderful thing and we are. all afraid of it. we are much more afraid, however, : of being criticised as tothe "plainness" of our clothes, than we are of a more worthier comment "she is dressed beyond her means." I know it, and you know It, and we surely do need a great big, wholesome, slice of "dress courage" to make us act up to our feelings in this matter but here I am again advocating ft theory which I am afraid I do not put into practice and surely we should prac tice what we preach. : Wonder if you have seen some of the new sleeve patterns? I declare they are prettymany , of, them. One We recognise as our old "bishops' friend, but cut on a different-plan. There is a deep, tight-fitting cuff. fully half way to the elbow, then a great deal of fullness gathered or plaited into this cuff entirely at 'the back. The top part of the sleeves seem to fit quite smoothly, ' This pat tern is in three pieces, I believe, and Is Used both for coats and. waists. Best for waists, for tight cuffs are not of course, suited to wear over tne top or waists, Some of the newest coats are thus made, however, the cuffs, of course, larger ana mane to button al ter the coat is on. This Is a very pret ty, but -hardly a Very convenient style for a coat to wear every-day, the fast ening of the sleeves requiring some little time. - We notice, too, while there is a considerable amount ot fullness In the leevesthis; as a rule, is avoided at the top, where the sleeve Is sewed into -(he arm-hole, by flat plaits or tucks stitched down as tight as pos sible. There, are dosens of styles In sleeves, all In-good form, the one men tloned above alone being of the many. A pretty sleeve intended tor a coat, is ; '1 Wine ol CarJul has stood the test of time. , It t'aj'cared ti graImwtbers, motliers, ei It cured women 'seventy-five years v ago.

Ab 'an cmenagogue it la the support of a woman throngh life, preparing her for the ordeal - 01 of cut in the one-piece bishop style, but shaped somewhat differently, and is larger. The largness is Just between the elbow and wrist, and the fullness at the hand Is confined by stitched tucks several inches in length or to a cuff depth of two or three Inches. "Here it Is finished with a stitched strap buttoned at the back, and a few inches above this Is a Becond strap which may be buttoned over or left open, in the latter case leaving the full fullness nt the back loose and Riv ing space for a large sleeve1 under neath." You can readily see the ad vantage of such a sleeve as this to wear over sleeves, and a coat such as this will be preferred by all of us, I am sure. According to my taste, "too, these strap bishop sleeves are about the prettiest I nave seen for coat sleeves. They are exceedingly grace ful and do away with that great plain Tiess of the regular old straight coat sleeve. These, however, will be seen hi a certain style of tailor costumes, and for the absolutely plain effects, maybe are best Again that Is a mat ter for each one to decide for herself. In regard to things to match, again we are told by many authorities, that this idea will be carried out as far ns possible. Especially Is this true in the every day street Butts when, for In stance, brown ia selected. This color la much in demand Just now in all ot Its shades, and an entire suit, includ ing the pretty - brown shoes, easily ob tainable, makes -e, charming costume. Perhaps one reason for the popularity of the brown Is because of the pretty shoes to be had In this color. Much time and attention will be paid this season to the "little" things of dress, perhaps more than for a long while. Of course some people always do this, but Just now this feature seems to be required of ws If we are to be smartly dressed. - We ' read in regard to the color scheme that "colored shoes and stockings add also to the finished ef fect, for the rule Is that they shall mutch In color either the gown or the distinctive , color-note of the trim mings." Much attention is being paid also to the' manners of dressing the hair, and the style low on the back of the head continues to grow In favor. However, this does not mean that one shall so wear the -hair whether It Is becoming or not. Quoting from a lit tle article on coiffures: "As in other matters of fashion now, the point that Is to be considered more than that of latest style, is what is most becom ing." Sometimes the hair is parted and combed down in the old-fashioned style over the ears, using the low back coiffure, or worn pompadour, accord ing to,the0styie of face. Surely there were never quite so many different ways to fix the hair and there Is some thing more or less attractive about the styles. If nicely done. Hair ornaments are much worn, and these, too, are numerous in design. Simple roses or one rose is very effective and for evening dress, hardly anything pret tier. DOROTHY. American Shoes la Germany. United States Consul Brittaln, Kell, Germany. Within the past year the sale of American shoes has considerably in creased in the city of Strassbury, but in the smaller cities and towns In the consular district one seldom finds an American shoe for sale. One reason for this is that the masses in the rural dis tricts have little desire for the latest styles In shoes, and rather resent in novations in the line of dress. There are, however, many' persons in the When the Kidneys fail to perform their functions properly by: not straining out the poison-- ous waste matter from the blood as it passes through them, the poisons are carried by the., circulation to every part of the bodyi deranging the different organs.

Begin the' treatment today. " smaller cities and towns who are al ways ready to adopt comfortable shapes and new styles in footwear when' the goods are placed on sale in a business like manner. x In Strassbury, which is the trade cen ter of the district, two or three stores carry American shoes in connection with large lines of German shoes, but the American shoes are at a disadvan tage because the stock Is small. One store carries, a line of American' men's Hhoes w hich retail at $6.42 and of worn en's shoes which retail at $5.71. When I asked the merchant why he did not darry a line which would .meet the pop ular demand, he replied, "Bat I want to sell German shoes, too." If some of the American manufactur ers of popular-priced shoes were to rent a room on one of the leading streets In Strassburg and place on sale a full line of neat, attractive goods, such as sell m the United States for $3.60 a pair, there is no reason why the enter prise should not meet with as much success a'a similar enterprises in other German cities, and the public would not be obliged to purchase German-made shoes marked "American . shape." A half-hearted effort to introduce American shoes will never meet with te success the goods deserve. Such methods neer won the trade in Eng land, nor will they in Germany. The American shoe manufacturer has never entered this market with the determi nation to win, and there is no reason why he should not succeed, as our shoes are admired, and the German, duty on shoes is very low.
