JOHN SMITH.
BY WILL BUMBARGES.
“The Smith family is [legion and
John is the favorite family name. In
fact no well regulated community
will pretend to do business and
collect its taxes without a John
Smith.
The first John Smith we have a
recollection of meeting in person was
in Illinois wben we were a tramp
printer. He was a farmer and an
elder in the Presbyterian church.
We marched ourselves and our week’s
growth ot whiskers up in front of
his gorgeous farmhouse in true mili-
tary style and asked for a night’s
lodging. This was denied us with a
side remark: lam tired of so many’
tramps. We enjoyed the hospitali-
ty of John Smith’s straw-rick that
night and were chased off the farm
the next morning by Smith’s stepson
and a shepherd dog with a ring
around its neck.
The next time we met John Smith
was at college. His chief ambition
at school was to fish flirt with girls
and spend his father’smoney. After
six weeks’ course at college John was
taken home and put to milking the
cows and assisting the hired man in
undressing the corn crop.
Smith’s tonic Is made by John
Smith. It will cure the swamp fever
>r clean a ceiiuoid collar. To be wall
shaken before taken.
John Smith’s bile beans are often
mistaken for a navy bean or a shirt
button. But the same mistake is
never made the second time by the
same person.
In Quincy John Smith is a practic-
ing physician. He carries his pill
bags in one hand and his account-
book in the other. All of his patients
either die or recover
In Kansas City he is a lawyer with
a tiig practice and a dun buggy
horse.
in Wichita he superintends the
cemetery and keeps the Arkansas
river from backing tbe colored popu-
lation into the peoples party.
At Muskogee he is a deputy mar-
shal and owns a silent interest in a
blind tiger—just interest enough to
keep John silent
At Ft. Smith John Smith is on
guard behind the bars. It is hard to
tell whether John on the outside
ought to neon the inside or whether
John on the inside ought to be on the
outside. When he isn’t in the dock
you can generally And him on the
jury or keeping time for the fire de-
partment.
At Little Rock John Smith preaches
the gospel and feeds a cotton gin.
Down at Hot Springs he is a bom
per and a boarding house keeper
He fleeces you both ways and if you
get out of town with your vest you
can thank your suspenders for small
favors.
Over at Memphis he shoots craps
and sleeps on the wharf when it is
hot enough to melt a dog’s nose in
an ice box.
In Nashville John Smith keeps a
hotel. There is; but 01 e man in the
state that feeds his boarders touch-
er beef than landlord Smith and that
is the penitentiary warden.
At Chattanooga he drives a drav
and lies about the height ot Lookout
Moura :> and the number • > men be
killed at the little 01 J -don
Ridge. >
At Knoxville he is a hotel p;;..- 1
and It was his special mission to se<«
that the guests miss their trains and
don’t kick because they are left be-
hind.
At Richmond he is center fielder
in the Cumberland Presbyterion
choir.
At Washington he is the guide
about’ the White Hous «grounds
usher at tbe capital and doorkeeper
at the monument. Beware of the
Washington John Smith if you have
any money. If you have none he
will eave you the trouble and beware
of you.
At Cincinnati John Smith’s chief
ambition is to raise h—l in Hamilton
county.
A* Chicago John Smith is a repub
liean.and when he isn’t watching
Carter Harrison he is extending tbe
city limits and blowing about the
world’s fair.
In St. Louis he spells his name
Schmidt and drinks his beer out of a
pitcher. He votes the democratic
ticket and runs with a clique. He
likes cheese and goes to bed with bis
shoesoa.
He died at St. Paul while the Minn-
esota legislature was in session and
the Minnesota papers say he was
over-fed.
But it is said to John Smith s
credit wherever you find him he
never named any of his budding
statesmanship Abraham Lincoln or
Jefferson Davis to find them twen-
ty years afterward driving a garbage
wagon.
The Drees You Ought to Wear
Brooklyn Eagle.
The cut of a dress must be studied
especially by a woman who is either
too fleshy or too thin. Tailor-made
clothes fit too closely for either one
or the other. A certain amount of
’drapery is necessary to hide the
rotundity or insufficiency of flesh.
Some stout women of my acquaintance
still have small bustles put in skirts;
tbey add to the symmetry of the fig-
ure. Tne present length of skirts
also adds much to their stature. The
present draperies which garnish bod-
ies is a compensation to the long
thin women tor the long plain
straight skirt; and whatever is saidot
the present fashion it always offers a
way to be shaped to the figure of the
one who has taste enough to adapt It
for her own peculiarities and detects.
A very fleshy or a very thin woman
should not have exaggerated puff's on
her sleeves; they tend to narrowing
the shoulders. A fleshy woman then
appears larger’arouud the wust Than
across the chest and a thin woman
looks as if there could not be room for
healthy lungs. A thin woman must
hide the too swanlike proportions of
her neck with a high neckband; the
fleshy one must be careful not to
wear an v neckband at all. A woman
who has’ disproportionate limbs must
correct it with extra length of bod ee;
while on the emtrarya round waist
is recommended to one who has a
long waist and short limbs. The
texture of goods should also be a con-
sideration in the choice ot dresses.
Thick shaggy goods should never be
chosen by a woman who wants
height and not width. It is seldom
that one sees a becoming woolen
plaid on any one; and on a stout wom-
an it Is hideous. Stripes tend to
lengthening the figure; but stripes
like plaids become very tiresome if
the wearer has not sufficient change
to relieve the neigbor’s eye with a
plain dress now and then. The mottled
goods in much favor in America for
every day dresses have never been
adopted in France. Goods entirely
of one color are preferred and with
the exception of a few disadvantages
I think the choice of tne French wo-
man the best. The harmony of color
should always be an object of atten
tion and study. Light blue is not
always becoming to blonds and I
have seen brunettes look charming
in a light blue evening dress. Dark
blue is becoming to almost all com-
plexions and although scarlet is said
to be the color of brunettes I think it
Is becoming to blondes who have san-
dy hair and a sallow complexion.
Yellow is suitable only for
and I hold that the grays and drabs
are becoming to very few woiueu.
Many blondes with sallow complex-
ions persist in thinking gray their
color; it is generally the color of their
hair and skin and altogether the three
forma medlyof vague tints whi;h
are not rejoicing to tne eye especial-
ly when the hair is in need of wash-
ing the skin demanding a clearing
out and the dress has been worn long
enough to have caught coatings of
duet which obscure the eheen of new
texture. Brown and black are the
only staple colors for good wear and
lor always looking acceptably nice.
Brown is becoming to all complexions.
It has a peculiar quality of bringing
out all the pointe which are advanta-
geous to beauty. There le much
choice too in shades of browue and
the blending of different shades ie so
effective; eo harmonious. I never see
a woman dressed in a well-made rich
brown suit but I conclude she is a
monian ot taste and refinement.
Drenched By Boiling Rain
W. 8. Barton a well known min-
ing prospector has just returned to
San Bernardino from an exploration
of the famous Death valley. In the
trip south Barton stopped at Ibex
on the edge of Death valley. Here
at midnight the therometer stood at
115; Over the valley—and by this ie
meant Death valley—at 7 p. m. there
occurred a remarkable phenomenon.
Two clouds one from the east and
one from the west met. An electric
storm [followed the like of which
has never been seen by living man
aud for an hour the blaze was simply
terrific. Then following the electric
storm came a fall of boiling hot rain.
Tois lasted for about ten minutes.
Ihe parties in Camp were actually
forced to cover themselves from the
scalding waler. The thunder was
something which no artillery force
on the face of the earth no matter
i how great could equal.
