Best Dressed Una in the World. The majority of men believe that the best and most , fashionable In men's clothes comes from London ; and that the best dressed man In the world is the American turned out by a London tailor. An American who spends a great part of his time in London, ana is rather a stickler for the correct' thing, was recently hailed on Broadway by a friend with the remark, "So that's what they're wearing in London, eh?" The man addressed shook his head. "Suit made in Washington, overcoat In New York," he said. "Thought you were togged out from- Bond Street, sure," in a disappointed tone. Then the man who lives much in Lon don made this radical announcement: "They cant make a sack suit In Eng land. You ask a Bond Street tailor for an American business suit with an American fit, and he turns out a NEW FRENCH MOTOlt coat that gives you a caved-in. chest when it's buttoned up and a decidedly open front when it's unbuttoned." Yet some West End tailoring estab lishments in London depend for their very existence on American trade, not alone the trade of Americans travel ing abroad, but a mail order business which entails making on measure ments and forwarding by express, likewise payment of . duty. So impor tant is this business that a cable code has been arranged. With this code, a complete catalog and full directions for self measurement, a man may cable his order to London, and feel reasonably certain that the clothes he wants will leave England by the next westward bound steamer. One traveler from a firm in London making a specialty of cable orders re cently visited New York and booked orders to the amount of six thousand pounds sterling. But this class ol business is all in "semi-ready" clothing, a system which has been adopted from American tailors. Yet the American "ready-made" has been a subject of laughter on the other side; and the New Yorker's claim to be the, "best dressed man in the world," has been received with jeers. To the foreigner the Idea of a man who has literally "no time" to devote to matters sartorial being well dressed is absurd and the New Yorker has no time. He cant wait for clothes to be made by a "custom" tailor. When he needs a suit he dashes Into one of those immense haberdasheries that dot both sides of Broadway from the Battery to the Bronx, where thousands of "ready for service" suits and overcoats are piled on long tables in stacks that rise above a .man's head. Here are found prices and sizes to fit every customer. Sack suits from ?3 to ?50 advertised for cut and smartness. They are smart, too, are better cut and sewn than the English cheap suit, but the latter is made of better material. It is Just this differ ence that makes the American crowd look smart and prosperous, while the English crowd looks merely comfort able. The New Yorker must look prosper ous. It is part of his stock in trade. His clothes must not appear old any more than his face. This demand for youth and freshness is what makes it possible for some firms to sell as high as 7,000 suits in a day. Hats and Shoes get even more attention than clothes. The ancient saw, "When broke buy a new hat," is so thorough ly appreciated by the New Yorker that he receives without even a grin such advertisements as that which puzzled Count Witte as he walked down Broadway. "Fall Lids for Faded Faces," It read. "Fall," mut tered the Russian diplomat with a look of weary amazement, "fall, that means to tumble down,, does It not?", Some one explained that "fall" was the American for the season which all other nations know as autumn. Last winter a leading London daily gave a column every morning to the discussion of "The Fetish of the Black Coat" Every clerk and sales man In London wears a frock, or Prince Albert during his work, and, like the English artisan, he wears the costume of his trade after hours. For weeks members of Parliament and celebrities In many lines argued In ONLY $1.00. SPECIAL 60 DAY OFFER TO INTRODUCE JUST WHAT YOU TIU to torn Irhsawslerleas seels sallJ Saa. (JrleerfaK u yoa Qeetre the public press as to which system was better: the American custom which ordained the sack suit in busi ness and a change of raiment for laborers after hours; or the English custom, which set the frock coat up as the emblem of respectability atnoag tradesmen, a mark distinguishing them from the laboring classes and kept the. latter in blouse and hob nailed boots during his hours of Wet In England they talk a tot of what seems awful rot to this side of the water, and they take clothes very seriously. Each class has its gar ments and each garment its use. In London the Tuxedo is still a lounge coat, something to be slipped on during the early evening and dis carded for the formal "swallow tall" before starting for any entertainment But the American ha9 forced it into public life, has ordained a black tie and gold shirt studs with it, In place RAILROAD TRUCK. of the white tie and pearl studs that must be worn with the tailed coat, The American 6peaks of his Tuxedo suit and his dress suit The English man talks of his evening clothes, and would as soon think of changing his trousers to match his smoking Jacket as of changing his studs and tie to accord with his Tuxedo. While the vast majority of men buy their clothes "ready" or "semi-ready" made, most men regard with envy the one who has time and money to have his clothes made and fitted. The En glishman of means considers it his duty to have his clothes made by the very best tailors and to wear them as badly as possible. As he can rarely remain long at a time within his own country, London custom tailors have stored in their safes measurements of hundreds of wandering Britons who usually cable from various parts of the world when they need new clothes. These measurements are a valuable asset and insurance on them frequently amounts to several thou sand pounds sterling. As a matter or fa-t the best dressed man in the world is neither the New Yorker nor the Londoner, but the man who gets his frock coat, cutaway and evening clothes from the Bond Street tailors, who have made these styles of masculine dress for centuries, and his sack suits and overcoats from Fifth Avenue, where one might say tney were Invented. New Clothes Tor Easter. The flowers with which many church es are ornamented on Easter Day are most probably emblemB of the Resur rection. There are people today who think that unless something new Is worn on Easter Day no good fortune will come to them during the year. The Dorsetshire poet, Barnes, gives us this quaint little verse In regard to this custom: "Laste Easter I put on my blue frock coat the vust time, very new; Wl' yaller buttons aal o' brass That glittered In the zun like glass; Bekalze twer Easter Zunday.

ANIMAL HEROES. C The Thrllllntf Story of "Snap" the Bull Terrier. ... s Ernest Thompson Seton' tost book, "Animal heroes' , la. If poaatble, more than ever op to tbe standard at bis lntenslr In teresting wild-animal tales. To the animal lover this new collection will be read with absorbing attention. Mr. Seton has been snbJectM to considerable criticism by other naturalists, notably, John Burroughs, for endowing his animal characters with un usual Intelligence and powers, which, .It Is claimed, are not possessed by any dumb creatures. Very likely, as a class, but, as Mr.' Seton himself admits in his preface to "Animal Heroes", these histories, while 4a each case founded on the actual H re-doings of a real animal, are more or less composite. What novelist, indeed, does not combine the most striking characteristics of several individuals to construct his human hero, who shall appeal to tbe reader as an ex ceptionally flue character? So has Mr. Se ton taken the record of h number ot wood r other tslmals snd embodied their most striking "kills" or fellings of the pock Into one sagacious, brave ami gigantic specimeu. Like all of his books, "Animal Heroes It delightfully illustrated by some two-hundred drawings and sketches from his own and Ins wife's pencils. Interest Is stimu lated by a constant succession of Marginal drawings, liberally Interspersed with full page paintings of thrilling Incidents. Th story of good-hunting, of tierce pursuit, ol fatal closing in sometimes to the pursued, sometimes to the pursuer Is told by an eye-witness wielding a master pen in de picting animal adventures, and at all times runs through the story the love which the writer bears for all animals ol the proud, indomitable, fearless beast even though he be the scourge of the country a killer of cattle or sheep or even dogs, of which lutter the author is pas sionately fond, be they good ones. Nothing be discusses has ever lx-en writ ten which Is better worth tbe rending, and withnl sadder In Its fluale than Is tbe ac count iu this volume of the little dog, "Snap." 'Miis "Snap" Is a bull-terrier, , which was sent the author as a sort of Hal lowe'en Joke be was so vicious snd unap-1 proachahle. He kept Mr, Seton. on tbe top of the table most of the night, where he smoked cigars nntll his pocket-supply ran out and then, shivered. However, he An ally made mewls witn nis mtie pup a youngster absolutely without tear. A year later, the two found themselves near Mea dosa. North Dakota where the wolves had been playing havoc with the live-stock, evsdlng poison and traps and actually scorning the attempts of the ranchers and the wolvers to estenninste them. The fol lowing is a recital of the hunt In which "Snap" figured most gloriously: From a hlu'h point we caught sight of a moving speck of gray. A moving white speck stands or Antelope, n red speck for f ox, a gray specs ror enner ray-wou or Covote, and each of these Is determined bv its tall. If the glass shows the tail down, It Is a Coyote; If up. It is the hated tray-woir. We cot a momentary view of the Bur- suit; a Gray-wolf it surely was, loping away ahead of the Dogs. Somehow I so fast as they had after the Coyote. But uo one knew the finish of the huut. The Dogs came back to us one by one, and we saw no more of that Wolf. Sarcastic remarks and recrlmluation were now freely Indulged In by the hunters. "Pah! srsirt, plumb ratrt," was the father's disgusted comment on the pack. "They could catch up easy enough, but when he turned on them, they lighted out for home pah! "Where's that thar onsurnassable. fear- less, sratre-o-nort Tarrler asked Hilton, Scornfully. "I dou't know," said I. "I am In clined to think be never saw the wolf but if he ever does, I'll bet he sails in for Heath or glory." That night several Cows were killed "TIIE DESPERADO IN THE MIDDLE close to the ranch, and we were spurred on to another hunt. It opened much like the last. Late In1 ths afternoon we sighted a gray fallow with tail up, not half a mile off. As we rose to the upland and sighted the chase half a mile off, Dander, the greyhound, came up with the Wolf and anapped at his haunch. The Gray wolf turned round to fight, and we had a fine view. Ths Dogs came up by two and threes, barking at him in a ring, till last, Snap, the little white one rushed up. He wasted ne time harking, but rushed straight at the Wolf's throat and -missed It, yet seemed to get hits by the nose; then the ten big Dogs closed- In, and in two minutes the wolf wss dead. -Snap had lived up to my promises for him. Now It was my turn to crow, and I did not lose tbe chance. Snap had ahown tnem now, ana at last the afenaosa pack bad killed a Gray-wolf without help from the men. There were two thing to mar the victory aoraewhat; first, it Waa a young Welt, a mors Cub; second. Snap waa wounded the Wolf bad given blm a bad cot In the shoulder.

On that day tbe Cattle men learned how to manage the Wolf question. " ... Next day wan Hallowe'en, tM anni versary of Snap's advent The weather was clear, bright, not too cold, and there wss no snow on the ground. The men nsually celebrated the day with "hunt of some sort, and now, at coarse, Wolves were the one object. To the disappoint ment of all, Snap wan In bad shape with hi Wound. He slept, as usual, at my feet, and bloody stains now marked the place. He was not In condition - to light, but we were bound to have a Wolf-hunt, so he was beguiled to an outhouse and locked up, while we went off, I, at least, with sens of Impending disaster. I knew we should fall without my Dog, but I did sot reaUse bow bad a taller It was t fee. Afar among the feettes OT Skull Creek We bad reamed, wiran a white ball ap peared boanding through the eags-brnsK, and In t mtnute more Snap came, growl ing and stump-waggllug, up to my Horse's side. I could not send him back; bt would take no such orders, not evea froaa eae. His wound waa looking bad, em I caUed him, held Down in quirc, ana jnmpea blm to my saddle. "There, 11 I thought. "I'll keep yoc till we ret home.' Yes. I thought: safe Dut I reckoned not with Kuan. Ths votes I of Hilton, "Uu. ha," announce that a bad sighted a vvoir. Danaer ana Kiiey, bis rival, both sprang to the point of observation, with the result that tbey collided and fell together, sprawling, In ths sag. Sat Snap, gating hard, bad sighted the Wolf, not so very far off, and before 1 knew It, he leaped from the saddle and bounded algzlg, high, low, In and under Hie sage, straight for the enemy, leading the whole pack for a few minutes. Not far, of course. The great Greyhounds sighted the moving speck, and, the usual procession strung out on the plain. It promised to be a fine hunt, for the Wolf had lees than half mile start and all the Dogs were fully Interested. "They've turned up Grizzly Gully, cried Garvin. "This way, and we can' ead them ofT.' We" galloped to the top of Cedar Ridge and were about to ride down, when Hilton shouted, "By George, here he is! We're right onto him. "A great Gray-wolf came lumbering across an open plain to ward us. His head was low, his tall out level, and fifty yards behind him was Dander, sailing like a Hawk over the ground, going twice as fast as the Wolf. In a minute the Hound was alongside nnd suapped, but bounded back, as the Wolf turned on him. In a few - seconds the next Greyhound arrived, then the rest in order ot swiftness. Each came up full of fight and fury, determined to go right m and tear tbe Gray-Wolf to pieces; but each lu turn swerved aside, and leaped nnd barked around at a safe distance. After a minute or so tbe Russians appeared fine bsg Dogs they were. Their distant intention no doubt was to dash at the old Wolf; but his fearless front, bh) sinewy- frame and death-dealing laws, awed them long before tbey were near him, and they also Joined the ring, while the desperado iu the middle faced this way and. that, ready for any or all. Now the Danes came up. huge-limbed creatures, any one of them as heavy ss tne woix. l hears UHir heavy breathing tighten into a threatening sound as tbey plunged ahead, eager to tear the foe to Ma fill, U-lw ,K Mv Kin. .

And ss the ten big Dogs were leaning round the silent Wolf at bay, there was a rustling In the aage at tbe far side of ine piace; men a anow-wmte rubber hail. It seemed, came bounding, but grew In to a little Bull-terrier, and Snap, slowest f the pack, and last, came panting bard, so bard, he aeemed gasping. Over the level open be made, straight to the chang ing ring around the Cattle-killer whom none dared face. Did he hesitate? Not for an Instant; through the ring of the yelping pack, straight for the old despot of the range, right -for bis throat, he sprang; and ths Gray-wolf struck with his twenty scimitars. But the little one, if rouea at an, sprang again, and then what came I hardly knew. There was a whirl ing mass ot Dogs. I thought I saw ths little White one clinched on the Gray wolf's nose. The pack was all around; we could not help them now. But tbey did not need us: they had a leader of daunt less mettle, and when In a little while the final scene was done, there on the Sround lay the Gray-wolf, a giant of his Ind, and clinched on his noae was tbe little White Dog. . .

Story of a Desperate Hand to Hand encounter Agafnat Heavy trtds Mow and then among the' brutali ties and crimes tnat'torm the chief subjects of dally journalism in tnis country, 'there comes aa Item . that not only appeals to our morbid nature but gets In close to the primal- love of fight which springs eternal in the human animal Most of us have no feeling except of loathing In the case of the secret assassination of six Ital ians ia Minneapolis, because their modes -of fieht are Latin in a country of Anglo-Saxon prejudices. But just a week, before, the press dispatches rrum Bristol, Tennessee, told of tne sudden, demise of seven Italians who with others had con spired to murder their aectio foreman, because he was a "hard boae." doubtless he was! Nevertheless, the old fighting blood tingles at the bare account of the bat tle that the foreman, Haverly, whose name suggests his nationality, waged single-handed against the body of la borers that "rushed" him. Had he been armed with a revolver, he would have no sympathy, but he depended on the first weapon at hand a crowbar. Backed against an embankment, he withstood the combined attack .of the entire gang of laborers, all bent on his murder, and armed, again at him, with picks, axes, and spades, in addition to their knives. Repugnant as the idea of kllllne may be. one can scarcely help a thrill at the thought of the fore man, Haverly, at bay like a knight of former days, fighting for his life, and so sturdily and valiantly laying about him, weapon for weapon, steel against steel, until he stretched seven of his assailants dead before him and routed the rest. Haverly may be a brute and a bully; he may have deserved what the laborers, rising like desperate slaves against a tyrant, had In store for him. Yet, somehow, that ia hard to believe because the Innate love for combat in oar nature challenges ad miration for a man who displays des perate courage and physical prowess. little Cannibals. Every once In a while we kear ot breeders complaining ot the cannibal istic habits among growing fowls, espe cially among those still in the days ot their early babyhood. This pernicious habit, when once the young oiras De come thoroughly addicted to It, is rath er difficult to control and suppress. Usually it finds its chief expression in flocks confined to close quarters, where the ground is bare act! the leed is wanting in animal matter. Bird life under natural conditions finds oppor tunity for work and play In the hunt ing of insects for food and in tne care ful selection of such vegetable mat ter as its system may demand. Young chicks, when confined, are obviously deprived of these opportunities for a healthful exercise: the result ia- that they become idle, which engenders vicious habits and a craving for some thing to do as well as for animal food. When In this condition if a member of the little flock shows a wound or effects of blood, the chances sure that one or two will at once commence to peck at It, Which leads the other on, and soon the whole flock will be rend ing the little one into shreds, devour ing It before oe has opportunity to re lieve its misery or to isolate tt iron the flock. The remedy, of course, is obvious, namely, : attord the young chicks a wider range and be more care ful in your feeding by making it a point to keep them busy by throwing tha food into titter or nusTiendlng a head of lettuce or cabbage where they can peck at It; also supply hi one form or another animal food. A good way to do this Is to take the underground scratching chick feeds, which of them selves are a balanced ration, and scat ter the same in a litter of chopped straw or hay, about. one and one-half or two Inches deep. In fact, anything that will make a litter may be consid ered available. '. A Sadden Change. Two commercial travelers, one from London and one from New York, were discussing the weather In their respec tive countries. The Englishman said that English weather had one great fault its sud den changes. . "A person may take a walk one day," he said, "attired in a light sum mer suit, and still feel quite warm. Next day he needs an overcoat. "That's nothing," said the American, "My two friends, Johnson and Jones, were once having an argument. There were eight or nine Inches of snow on the ground. The argument got heated, and Johnson picked up a snowball and threw It at Jones from a distance of not more than five yards. During the transit of that snowball, sir, believe me or aot; as you like, the weather suddenly changed and became hot and summer-like, and Jones, instead of be ing hit with a snowball, scalded with hot water!" ir sew kraln saDt lata slay, syess saaew srtaiai torttUitaf, ItaTejneto aeeeo mmwjmmmwmmmrttmmmrmmwmm wa ' tboimnn. af others are eartnff rood thins? shout tbN way It eUl iweay tto ewa e haadrse i iar, Oet one and try SECURE TH19 TELESCOPE ' JLND TaKE a look at old sol. - aWilmnllaaaaf f,lMiaa a b SM ftai kaala alone la worth store than we eharae foi waowlabto laa ha la Ha TreeerH Sraatf. l(wnor Ui tt-r hvpl-ue aatfxaawre a aaa, sraauoal laUloun tee bad ebaarrahiaja, Address KIRTLAND BROS 4 CO.. na and Hoon th ermine and nornlnf for PERILS IS COLD STORAGE.
