TRAIN GETS MELANCHOLY COW.
Gretchen, Resentful of Being Offered
for Sale, Goes to Her Death.
Great Notch, N. J. Richard Jaco
bus, farmer living near here hard by
the Erie Railroad, decided three days
ago that ho could do very well with
out Grotchen, a brindle milch cow
that had boon in the family several
years. A wagon road runs by Jaco
bus' front yard, and so ho decided
that as good a way as any to get
Gretchen on the market was to tie
her in tho yard under a tree on which
was this sign:
"Fresh Cow for Sale."
Jacobus meant no reflection upon
the matronly dignity of Gretchen, who
is, or was, of a Teutonic and melan
choly temperament. Hut now Jacobus
believes that either Gretchen thought
she was -being labeled flighty and
smart-alecky, or that she grieved bo
cauro sho was not wanted any longer
in tho family, or that sho was shocked
into the deep pit of melancholy by
the unaccustomed notoriety to which
she was being subjected.
This morning, as a heavy Erie
freight train started down the steep
grade in front of Jacobus" house, the
brindle co;v broke her rope, walked
gravely out through the gate, and was
run down and killed by the train.

men in tho county balled them out.
Now they havo begun suit against

SKIRT ALWAYS EVEN.
Marker Insures Its Being Made the
Same Length All Way Around.
Women who make their own clothes
owo a -debt of gratitude to tho Penn
sylvania man who invented tho skirt
marker shown In tho Illustration. Ouo
of the most difficult things about
dress-making is to make the skirt
hang even all the way around.
With this device tho length of a
skirt may bo made mechanically ac
curate by tho veriest tyro at the art,
and that In a very short time. The
marker Is clamped to the edge of a
table, concave side out. Tho woman
stops up to It and with a piece of
chalk, or If tho goods be perishable,
with pins, marks a lino around the
hips, turning so that tho whole skirt
Is marked. Sho then measures tho
distanco from the slot to tho floor,
subtracts tho number of inches she
wishes her skirt to clear tho floor,
and then measures that distanco all
around the skirt from tho chalk-lino
near tho waist. It is easy to see that
tho most skilful professional dress
maker could not gauge a skirt length
bettor than this, if as well.

LINCOLN HEADJN NEW GENT
How the Designer Selected the Model
Photograph for the Face on
the Coin.
New York, N. Y. Victor D. Bren
ner of this city Is tho designer of tho
Lincoln head, which appears on the
now cent, Issued by tho government
flora tho Philadelphia mint. Although
Rutsian by, birth, Mr. Brenner has
found his oportunlty in this eountiy
while yet a young man, and he ro
sonts any designation other than that
of a thoroughly loyal American.
With tho approach of the centen
nial of Lincoln's birth, Mr. Brenner,
long a student of tho anti-slavery
Bas Relief Design for Lincoln Penny.
movement, and an admirer of Its ulti
mate exponent began looking for a
model on which to exurclso his plastic
art. Ills search was rewarded In a
photograph which he found In posses
sion of Prof. Charles Eliot Norton.
His first study wns expressed in a
plaque, his second in n medal and his
third, which pleased him best, in tho
design which will appear on the coin.
Each study idealized somewhat the
preceding one, while preserving tho
essentials of strength and simple earn
estness which characterized Lincoln's
countenance.
"If you look carefully at the caln,"
Mr. Brenner said, "you will see that
I havo made him smiling. I wanted
to show the sunshine as well as the
goodness of his life. My intention
has been to present a situation In
which Lincoln might havo appeared
at his best. Finally I imagined him
as talking to a child. That is tho face
on the coin. A man or woman is nat
ural when speaking to n child. When
adults converse they nro usualy on
guard, but in talking to children faces
relax and are at their best. I am glad
tho head appears on tho cent, the
piece of money most familiar to tliu
masses. It was Lincoln who said that
God must love the common people be
cause ho had made so many of them.
I had rather have tho head on the
cent than on the $10 gold-piece."
The Indian head, In use for more
than a generation on tho cent and now
discontinued, shares tho fate of its
predecessor, the eagle, for the reason
that It is easily counterfeited. Early
In the present year tho government
decided on a change, but even then It
proposed to place the head of Lin
coln on a sllvor coin, probably tho
half-dollar. Mr. Brenner submitted
his designs at Washington. Tho head
was then assigned to tho cent.
