They were neat fitting aud always looked well on tho feet The process of lacing was, however, very tedious, and when button shoes were introduced they at once jumped Into popular favor because of their caso of adjustment. The indications now are, says a writer in Shoo and Leather Facts, that, along with congress, the side-lace is again coming -into favor. The old style, with tho lace miming up the center of the inside quarter, will appear in most of the lines, but some of tho houses making fine goods are making a new cut of side lace, as shown in our illustration. An imitation button lap is here shown, but tho method of trimming rests with the manufacturer.

If a circular vamp is used, the outside wing may be cut the usual length, but the luslde wing should be shortened very abruptly in order to open the shoo well forward amd allow it to go on easily.

This Is in the first place preposterous. In the next is an outrage deserving such pen alty as the bible decrees io him that changcth a landmark, which an old name really is, in deeper sense than a boundary stone. The absurd appellation should be instantly blotted out of the gazettes and tho postofllce list and the. old ouo restored tolls place. If It were held to be necessary to preserve some memory of the new designation, it might be tattoosd lit red and blue upon the expansive and tenacious check of its originator, which would assure it all the duration it deserves.

So, too, is the approach to Paris, where for long distance before the city is reached evidences of its affairs are posted beside the railroad tracks. In this sort of advertising originality cannot play a very large part, glaring letters sufficiently large enough to attract the eye as the trains rush past, or some extravagant figure designed to impress the observe by its repul-ireness, being the ordinary means for making the publications conspicuous. It is in newspaper, advertising or in elwuulars that effective work may be done that will deceive the public into reading an alleged romance only to bewilder them by the concluding par- graphs descriptive of the desirable qualities of some famous soap or other article mentioned there.

Old Jim, Who Lives at Aiken, South Carolina, Clulms the Honor The High Tide at Gettysburg Appomattox Immortal. A Confederate War Horse.

G. (liitfee, the mavor of Aiken. w. S. writes that the horse Belle Mosby, 'whoss picture appeared recently in the Xew York World, is not only not the only equine veteran of the war, but not the oldest Many of the annual visitors to Aiken have sscn or heard of old Jim, an old gray horse, better known to some as Wheeler.

This old horso is owned br Mr. W. T. Williams of Aiken. Old JimisH'i hands high and "weighs 900 pounds when in good health.

For thirty years he has done service on the plantation of Mr. Williams, his work being gradually lightened as infirmities have crept upon him. At the present time he has the run of the pasture and enjoys a well earned rest. For ten years after the war he followed tho foxhounds each winter. Old Jim came from the mountains of Fast Tennessee, and took part in the battle of Atlanta.

Falling back before Sherman's advance, or hanging on the flank of his army, old Jim's coat was daily stained by the red mud from the hills of Georgia. Crossing into South Carolina, he bagged through the swamps of the low country and bore his rider gallantly In tho fight at Great Saltcatchcr, in Barnwell county, in South Carolina. From that point, accompanying Pigae's command, under General Wheeler, ho brought his master, Lieutenant Mc-Mahon of Fast Tennessee, on the left flank of the invading army, to Aiken. When Sherman's army, passing through Barnwell county, reached the lino of the South Carolina railway, General Kilpatrlck with his cavalry made a bold dash westward for the purpose of destroying the cotton mills at Graniteville, live miles west of Aiken, and possibly the Confederate powder mills in Augusta, thirteen miles further west of Graniteville. At Aiken they met with the forces pf General Wheeler and were repulsed after a sharp skirmish, and retired to the main body of the army.

The fight determined the future fate of old Jim. Ills rider. Lieuteuant McMahou, charged with him down a road, now South Boundary, avenue, right in front of the house of Mr. Williams. They had hardly passed the front door when both horse and rider fell, the rider with a mortal wound in the breast and old Jim with a bulletin his neck.

Lieutenant McMahon was taken into the house of Mr. Williams, where he died in the dining room a few hours later. The stain of his life-blood is still on the pine floor. Jim was condemned as worthless and ordered to be shot, but Mr. Williams begged for his life and nursed him back again to health and usefulness.

From that day to this the old horse-has never known a sick day, and the indications are that he will yet be able to show for several years the scars of battle and tho brand upon his shoulders. Judges of horseflesh prouounccd Jim seven years old when he fell into- the hands of his present master, which makes him now 36 years old. Lincoln's Anxiety. When the fighting began in the Wilderness, in May, 1804, tho bloodiest month of tho wholo war, Dana wa' summoned to the war department late-one night, when he was at a party, lie hurried over to the department la his evening dress. The president was there, talking very soberly to Stanton.

"Dana." said Mr. Lincoln, "you know we have been in the dark for two days since Grant moved. We are very much troubled and have concluded to send you down there. How soon can you start?" "In half an hour," replied Dana. In about that time he had an engine fired up at Alexandria, a cavalry escort awaiting hbn there, and with h'm own horse was aboard tho train at Maryland avenue that was to take him to Alexandria, Ills only baggage was a toothbrush.

Ho was just starting when an orderly galloped up with word that the president wished to see him. Dana rode back to the department in hot haste. Mr. Lincoln was sitting in the same place. "Well, Dana," said he, looking up, "since vou went away I've been thinking about it I don't like to send you down there." "Why not Mr.

President?" asked Dana, a little surprised. "You eauT tell," continued the president, "just where Lee is. and what he doing; and Jeb Stuart is rampaging around pretty lively in between Rappahannock and tho Rapi-dan. It is a considerable risk, and I don't like to expose you to it" President," said Dana, ''I have a cavalry guard ready and a good horse myself. If it comes to the worst we are equipped to run.

lt'a getting late, and I want to get down to the Rapahanruoek by daylight I think I'll start" "Well, now. Dana," said the president, with a little twinkle in his eyes, "if you feel that way, I rather wish you would. Good night, and God bless you." McClure's Magazine. Appomattox Immortal.

Mike was disconsolate over his employer's death, lie was out of a job and was unfitted for any other em-plovment save driving a doctor's buggy from patient to patient and i napping during the visits.

A gown of silk in stripes an old fashion revived, these stripes running round and to bo much in vogue this winter, chocolate I brown stripes alternating with white ones printed with pompadour flowers. The fronts are laid in side plaits and fall loose from the shoulders over a belted under dress, with blouse effwt of pale green silk, or it might bo velvet. The buck is fitted down in gathers.

Tho plain, undraped skirt will be the favorite this winter, as the over- bkirt has not proved as popular as was expected, there being very few modistes who could manage the double arrangement as gracefully as the leas complicated form. Flat folds and bands a ro used in preference to fluffier trimmings, but what the skirt lack in berufHed fullness the bodice amply makes up in its extra as there was no ornamentation missing so far as that is concerned. The sleeves are not quite as large as formerly, but make up for width in the matter of greater length, coming over the knuckles frequently, and they are, therefore, a little larger at tho wrists than formerly. The double puff has been introduced instead of the large single one, and it is really a very pretty stylo if munaged well. Maklua; Cake.

Marion Moore asks if there is anything in the old idea that cake nrast nlwnyB be stirred one way. Also, what is meant by giving puff-pnste so many turns. Answer: There arc a number of old-fogy notions about cooking thut some people cling to with no apparent reason save that they were brought up to do so were taught that way. Cake may bo stirred cither way or any way. The only need is that it must be vigorously nnd continuously beaten until it is ready to put in the pans.

As for giving puff -paste just so many turns, that is the merest rubbish for nny one who has tho gift of It does very well for those laborious and painstaking people who cannot themselves originate -anything or do anytl.ing well save by rule, square and compass. Our grandmothers made excellent pie-paste before cooking schools nnd these several turns were ever heard vt.
