HANKS USED SEA WATER.
Very Little Use to Deny the Milk Wae
Diluted.
Julius Kruttschmltt of San Francis
co, the general manager of the South
ern Pacific Railroad, recently gave out
the largest single order for steel rails
that the business world baa ever
known.
A reporter, in discussing this order
with Mr. Kruttschmltt, called It a
"daring one."
"No," said the railroad magnate,
smiling, "there was nothing daring
tbout It. Daring things ' are those
that have In them something risky,
lomething Insecure. For Instance, you
sight term 'daring" the well-known
iction of Hanks, the milkman, In the
millionaire's bouse."
"Hanks, the milkman?' 'said the re
porter, puzzled.
"Yes, Hanks, the milkman. He, one
morning, forgot to water his milk. In
the ball of his best customer he re
membered this omission. A huge tub
of fine, clear water stood on the floor
by his side. There was no one to spy
on him, and thrice, before the maid
brought up the Jugs, Hanks diluted his
milk with a large measure filled from
the tub. Then he served the young
woman calmly and went on.
"As he was bellowing down the next
area the first customer's footman beck
oned to hlra. He returned, and was
ushered into the presence of the cus
tomer himself, a millionaire.
" 'Hanks,' said the gentleman, 'I pre
fer hereafter to water my own milk.
"Well, sir," said Hanks, "It's useless
to deny the thing, for I suppose you
were watching me while '
'' 'No,' said the millionaire. 'No one
was watching you. But the fact Is.
Hanks, the children are taking medi
cinal baths, and the tub In the hall
was full of sea water.' "

A Tactful Hostess.
A tactful hostess knows the perils of
visiting in a country house. As might
j be expected, the Junk shop guest cham
ber Is sure to prove a pitfall to the un
I wary. Having not long ago to put
the finishing touches to a portrait, I
went into the couutry to pass a couple
of dnys with my sitter, a mere ac

pleasantly, I asked:
"Whose portrait Is that in my room?
Such n charming face!"
After a chilly silence my hostess an
swered: "That Is my husband's first wife."
The conversation rather languished
during the rest of our meal, but I made
no efforts to revive it. Century.
Taffeta Still In Favor.
Black taffeta costumes, it was said
In the early spring, and it was thought
by the best authorities, would not be
fashionable during the summer, as
they were to be bought ready-made at
so many of the large department shops.
Vet there has been it succession of the
most charming designs furnished for
black taffeta gowns, and these have
been made up in large numbers for
women who know how to dress well.
The skirts are trimmed with tucks or
folds of the taffeta, with bauds of em
broidery or lace ruchings. The waists
are tucked or pleated, and have white
lace .yokes and bands overlaid with
embroidery or lace. Sliirrings and
rordings, such as were the delight of
olden times, are most fashionable.

Children's Wear.
Common scuso is visible In most of
the modern fashions for children's
wear. Small boys, in particular, profit
greatly by the present styles that arc
so practical and at the same time so
smart and attractive in appearance.
The one-piece suit worn over 'knicker
bockers is made both in wash materials
and In serges, lu colors and in white.
The white blouse, when made with a
sailor collar open at the front, can be
-worn with an Inside piece like a yoke,
and can be worn with open throat, if
desired. The leather belt, pulled well
down to give the fashionable long
walsted appearance, must never be
forgotten; no trimming is necessary,
although lace collars and cuffs or bands
of bright scarlet or blue linen on the
white linen or pique frocks are ocst
effective. Harper's Bazar.

that no style should be chosen tliat Is

not made up too elaborately. White is
not so fashionable as last year, and
light colors relieved with white or

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
R. G. Dun & Co.'i Weekly Review
of Trade" says:
"The last quarter of 1904 opens with
much brighter prospects than prevailed
a year ago. At that time securities
had fallen an average of $34 a share
from the top point (1f a ycar previous,
and there was a general disposition
to curtail manufacturing and com
mercial operations because of the
heavy losses. The nation was enter
ing on a period of conservatism, aug
mented by numerous labor controver
sies. At the present lime there are
no alarming features, strikes are few
and unimportant, while the indications
of growing confidence are numerous.
"Business does not show the hesi
tation customary during the closing
weeks of a presidential campaign, ami
the prospect of profitable agricultural
results stimulates trade, especially
among retailers at the West and
South. Building operations are ex
panding, providing a better demand
for lumber and materials. Clothing
and kindred lines are stimulated by
colder weather, and clearance laics
are well attended. Manufacturing
plants are decreasing the proportion
of idle machinery, the chief complaint
coming frnm cotton mills, which suf
fer from the disparity between prices
of ( raw material and finished product.
"Movement of wheat is heavy, but
retarded by inadequate tr.iflic facili
ties at some points, and railway earn
ings for September exceeded last
years by 6.5 per cent. Foreign com
merce at this port for the last week
showed a small decrease in exports
and a gain of $2. 16.1.346 in imports,
as compared with 1903. Security mar
kets have risen $14 above the corre
sponding date last ycar, and money is
easy and abundant.
"Failures this week numbered 223
in the United States, against 2J'i last
year and 18 in Canada compared with
