"D'ri and I," Elc. L COPYRIGHT. 1905, BY LOTHROP PUBLISHING COMPANY (Oohtiouad.) CHAPTER IV. FOR Trove It was a day of sowing. The strange old tinker had filled his heart wltb a new joy and a new desire. Next morning he got a ride to Hillsborough, fourteen miles, and came back, reading aa he walked a small green book, Its thin pages covered thick with execrably fine printing, its title "The Works of Shakespeare." He read the book Industriously and with keen pleasure. Allen complained shortly that Shakespeare and the filly had interfered with the potatoes and the corn. Tbe filly ceased to take food and sickened for a time after the dam left her. Trove lay in the .stall nights and gave her milk sweetened to her liking. She grew strong and playful and forgot her sorrow and began to follow him like a dog on his errands up and down (be farm. Trove went to school ln the autumn—"select school,", it was called. A two mile Journey it was by trail, but a full three by the wagon road. He learned only a poor lesson the flrst day, for on coming in sight of the schoolhouse lie heard a rush of feet behind him and saw his filly charging down the trail. He had to go back with her and lose the day, a thought dreadful to him, for now hope was high and school days few and precious. At first he was angry; then he sat among the ferns, covering his face and sobbing with sore resentment. The little filly stood over him and rubbed her silky muzzle on his neck and kicked up her heels In play as he pushed her back. Next morning he put ber behind a fence, but she went over It with tbe ease of a wild deer and came bounding after him. Wben at last sbe was shut ln the box stall he could hear her calling, half a mile away, and lt made Lis heart sore. Soon after a moose treed him on tbe trail and held blm there for quite half a day. Later he bad to help thrash and was laid up with tbe measles. Then came rain and flooded flats tbat tumed him off the trail. Tears after be used to say that work and weather and sickness and distance, and even the beasts of tbe held and wood, resisted him in the way of learning. He went to school at Hillsborough that winter. His time, which Allen gave him in the summer, had yielded eome $45. He hired a room at 35 cents a week. Mary Allen bought him a small stove a.'id sent to him in the sleigh dishes, a kettle, chair, bed, pillow and quilt and a supply of candles. She surveyed him proudly as he was F'llng away that morning in December. "Folks may call ye han'some," she said. "They'd like to make fool of ye, but you go on 'bout yer business an' act as if ye didu't hear." He had a figure awkward as yet, but fast shaping to comeliness. Long, light hair covered the tops of his cars and fell to bis collar. His ruddy cheeks were a bit paler that morning, the curve ln bis lips a little drawn; his blue eyes bad begun to fill and the dimple in his chin to quiver slightly as be kissed her who had been as a mother to blm. But he went away laughing. He got a job In llie mill for every Saturday at 75 cents a dar and soon thereafter was able to ha»* a necktie and a pair of fine boots and a barber now and then to control the length of his hair. Trove burnt the candles freely and was able, but never brilliant, In bis work tbat year owing, os all who knew him agreed, to great modesty and small confidence. He was a kindly, big hearted fellow and had wit and a knowledge of animals and of woodcraft tbat made him excellent company. His schoolboy diary has been of great service to all wltb a wish to understand him. On a faded leaf In tha old book one may read as follows: I have received letters in the handwriting of ulrlH, unsigned. They think they are in love with me and say foolish things. 1 know what they're up to. They are the kind my mother spoke of—the kind tuat set their traps for a fool, and when he's caught they use him for a thing to laugh at. They're not going to catch me. Expenses for seven days havo been $1.14. Clint McCormlck spent 60 cents to take hia girl to a show, and I had to help him through the week. I told him he ought to love Caesar less and Rome more. Then follows the odd entry without which lt Is doubtful If tbe history of Sidney Trove could ever have been written. At least only a guess would have been possible, where now Is certainty. And here ls the entry: Since leaving home the men of the dark have been very troublesome. They xfialia ma about every other night, and some- X_i.es I wonder what they mean. imif un oan tiling una developed lithe mystery of the boy. Even before he could distinguish between reality and its shadow tbat we see in dreams he used often to start up witb a loud cry of fear ln the night. When a small boy, he used to explain lt briefly by saying, "The men In the dark." Later he used to say, "Tbe men outdoors ln the dark." At ten years of age he went off on a three days' journey with the Aliens. They put up In a tavern that had many rooms and stairways and large windows. It was a while after his return of an evening, before candlelight when * £,r"^ ™_,rfa...i C_. _uo- —au iiuiiiiitiu uie windows, that hi first told the story, soon oft repeated and familiar, of "tbe men in the dark" —at least he went as far as he knew. "I dream," he was wont to say ln after life, "that I am listening in tlm still night alone. I am always alone, I hear a sound In the silence, of whal I cannot be sure. I discover then, or seem to, that I stand in a dark room and tremble with great fear, of what I do not know. I walk along swiftly In bare feet, I am so fearful of making a noise. I am feeling, feeling, my hands out in the dark. Presently they touch a wall and I follow It and then I discover that I am going downstairs. It Is a long journey. At last I am in a room where I can see windows, and, beyond, the dim light of the moon. Now I seem to be wrapped In fearful silence. Stealthily I go near the door. Its upper half is glass, and beyond It I can see the dark forms of men. One is peering through, with face upon the pane. I know the other is trying the lock, but I hear no sound. I am ln a silence like that of the grave. I try to speuk. ' My lips move; but, try as I may. no sound comes out of them. A sharp terror Is pricking Into me, and I flinch as if It were a knife blade. Well, sir. that is a thing I canuot understand. You know me. I am not a coward. If I were really In a like scene fear would be tbe least of my emotions, but in the dream I tremble and am afraid. Slowly, silently, the door opens, the men of the dark enter, wall aud windows begin to reel. I hear a quick, loud cry, rending the silence and falling Into a roar like that of flooding waters. Then I wake and my dream is ended for that night." Now, men have bad more thrilling and remarkable ("-earns, but that of the boy Trove was as a link in a chain, lengthening with his life and ever binding him to some event far lieyond the reach of his memory. CH-PTER V. IT was Sunday, and a clear, frosty morning ef midwinter. Trove had risen early aud was walking out on a long pike tba. divided the village of Hillsborough and cut the waste of snow, winding over hills and dipping Into valleys, from Lake Champlain to Lake Ontario. Tbo air was cold, but full of magic sunflre. All things were aglow—the frosty roadway, the white fields, the hoary forest and the mind of Hie beholder. Trove halted, looking off at the far bills. Then he heard a step behind him and, as he turned, saw a tall man approaching nt a quick pace. Tbe latter had no overcoat. A knit muffler covered his throat, and a satchel hung from a strap on his shoulder. "What ho, boy!" said he, shivering. " 'I'll follow thee a mouth, devise with thee where thou shalt rest that thou may'st hear of us an' we o' thee. What o' thy people an' the filly?" "All well," said Trove, wbo was delighted to see the clock tinker, of whom he had thought often. "And what of you'." "Llko an old clock, sor—a weak spring an' a bit slow. But, praise God, I've yet a merry gong In me. An' what think you, sor, I've traveled sixty miles an' tinkered forty clocks In the week gone." "I think you yourself will need tinkering." "Ah, but I .hank the good God here la me home," the old man remarked wearily. "I'm going to school here," said Trove, "and hope I may see you often." "Indeed, boy, we'll have many a blessed hour," said the tinker. "Come to me shop; we'll talk, meditate, explore, an' I'll see what o'clock it ls In thy country." They were now ln the village, and. halfway down its main thoroughfare, went up a street of gloom and narrowness between dingy workshops. At one of them, shaky and gray with tho stain of years, they baited. The two lower windows in front wm-c dim with, dirt and cobwebs. A board above tbem was tbe rude sign of Sam Bas- s/tt.^ca^penter. On the side of the old Boop was a -ignt ot sagging, nc_ety stairs. At the height of a man's head an old brass dial was nailed to the gray boards. Roughly lettered In lampblack beneath lt were the words, "Clocks Mended." They climbed the shaky stairs to a landing, supported by long braces, and whereon was a broad door with latch and keyhole in Its weathered timber. "All bow at this door," said the old tinker as he put his long Iron key In the lock. "It's respect for their own heads, not for mine," be continued, bis hand on the eaves that overhung be- 'ow tbe level of tbe door.toD. .. lio be Conliuueu.j SIR RICHARD TANGYfc. Industrial Romanes of Man Who Launched the Great Eastern. Sir Richard Tangye, inventor, author, engineer, millionaire and philanthropist, has just passed away ut the age of seventy-three. His life history is a romance of industry. The son of a small farmer kt Redruth, Cornwall, he began experimenting with machinery as a boy in a shed attached to the farm. A broken arm at length prohibited hard manual labor, and he became a pupil teacher at £1 a week. Reaching the salary of £80 a year as a clerk in a Birmingham engineering firm, Sir Richard struck out 'or himself, setting up as an "iron and Bteel merchant" in a room, for which he paid four shillings a week. His brothers George and Joseph joined him, and the Crimean war gave them their first step to succeBs. Huge quantities of lint were needed, and the brothers invented a machine which would turn it out faster than the existing1 methods. But that white elephant, the Great Eastern, gave the firm a worldwide advertisement which ensured success. "We launched the Great Eastern, and she launched us," Sir Richard was fond of saying. Th$ great vessel lay complete on the stocks, from which shs refused to budjro. Brunei, superintending the launch, was in despair, when he remembered a certain hydraulic lifting jack which he had come across in Cornwall. It was the Tangye jack, and its application bv the firm which had invented it resulted in the Great Eastern being induced to enter the water. Subsequently one clever invention followed another, until the firm enjoyed a world-wide reputation. There is no country where their gas and uil engines are not known to-day, and branches of the central firm have long existed in Sydney, Johannesburg, and other places. The Birmingham works alone employ 8,000 men, and the capital of the allied companies is £500,000. Sir Richard has described his own career in "One and All. He was a well- known authority on the Cromwellian epoch, valuable relics of which are stored in his home at Coombe Bank. His book, "The Two Protectors: Oliver and Richard Cromwell," has had a large circulation. His literary work included also a volume of "Reminiscences of Travel in America, Australia, and Egypt." His career was crowned in 1894 when he received the honor of knighthood from the late Queen Victoria. Tlie Children's Festival. "And a little child shall lead them." Tbe entire meaning of the festival of Christmas Is contained in these words. It Is tbe festival of the children because on this day God, the Son, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, took upou him human nature In the shape of a helpless and beautiful child. -Rev. John Talbott Smith, LL. D., President Catholic Summer School of America. Who Snould Raise Horses. Tn growing horses, as in growing other kinds of live stock, the most potent factor Is the man. Some men should grow draft horses only. Some should grow only trotters. Tha many should raise the former, ns they are 9o much more easily grown. The few should grow the latter. The men wliu can grow good trotting horses, that Is, trotting horses nf really superior merit, are few and far between while those who can also develop them are fewer still. Some men should not grow any kind of horses, as they wHl not make a success of It. Tbey will not make a success of It because thev do not understand If or because they do not like It, or for both resaons. No one should enrage In grnwlnr horses who does not taVa kindly to 'he work. And no one should engage In growing any particular kind nf horses or any class of the same unless his tastes nin In thst line. However. If one understands his business and grows that class of horses ln which he Is most Interested, there Is but little doubt thst he win succeed In the work.—Prof. Thos. Shaw, in American Agriculturist. Value of Good Roads to Property. There are many striking examples of the value of good roads. Wherever roada have been permanently Improved It Is found that there has been a very great Increase In the value of the adjacent property, says the Good RoadVs Magazine. Among examples of this sort Is that of Jackson, Tenn. From figures recently published It la shown that since 1900 the city haa Increased 6,000 In population. The roads were Imjwoved through Issuing bonds to start with, and they, have advertised the city so much that families are constantly coming In from adjoining counties, with the result that land values have Increased In some cases from 20 to 100 per cent. Property In the city haa also greatly increased ln v_Uia. . - — . WOULD BE LADY CABMAN. Scotland Yard Police Astonished By a Woman's Application For Cabby's License—Guarded Reply. The suffragettes must take a back , seat. They are quite outclassed. They I merely make riots in the sacred Houses of Parliament, engage policemen in single combat, go cheerfully to prison, and demand votes. But there is a lady 'in London—a young and a pretty lady—who wants to drive a hansom cab. She called at the Daily Mirror offices nnd mentioned her ambition as though it were quite an ordinary thing. Miss Adela Maybury—that is the young lady's name, and Bhe lives at Petherton road, Highbury—has blue eyes and bright, fair hair. And yet "I don't see why I shouldn't be allowed to drive a hansom," she said. A Vague Reply. "But after an immense amount ol trouble I have obtained from New Scotland Yard only this vague letter." And she produced the following illuminating missive:— With reference to your letter, I am directed by the Commissioner of Police of the metropolis to acquaint you that Hackney drivers' licenses are granted or refused 'in accordance with the decision arrived at after inquiry as to the applicant't fitness or unfitness, etc. I am, madam, your obedient servant, C. G. BATHURST, Chief Clerk. "It haa for a long time been my ambition to drive a cab," went on Miss Maybury. "When I was a little girl a woman used to drive a cab to Epsom races, until the authorities stopped her. She was not allowed a cab- driver's license, but traded on the one held by her husband, a regular cabman. "Now lt occurred to me that if a woman could procure a license to drive a hansom in London she would be trusted by lonely women. And plenty of women, like myself, can drive as well as anv man, and would be most unlikely to be reckless. "Well, I paid a visit to the offlce of the CabdriverB' Union in Garrard street, to enquire how I might obtain a license. The secretary and his colleague seemed much amused at the 'idea. " 'I don't think your proposal would be entertained for a moment,' said the secretary. 'No woman has ever been granted a cab license; but, of course, vou can apply to Scotland Yard. The license cost 5s. and you will have to satisfy the authorities that you are a capable driver, and that you know London well. Must Groom 'Oss. " 'You will have to describe the route you would take from a given address to another given address, naming every street you would traverse. ' 'And you will have to show you understand the grooming of a horse and the manipulation of the harness. Then a form must be filled up, signed by two reliable householders, to certify that, among other qualifications, you are sober and have borne a respectable character for the last three years.' "The two last clauses amused me very much. I went to New Scotland Yard, and there I was informed by police-inspectors that I must approach the head of the department by a letter, which he would place before the Commissioner. 8o I went home and wrote the requisite letter, and after waiting three weeks got the answer from the chief clerk. "I want to know what I am to do next. Of course, I should expect a food deal of chaffing from cabmen, but am sure that quiet dignity and skillful driving would soon stop ridicule. "One cabman asked me now I would get up into the 'dicky.' Well, I could wear special clothes, if necessary. I have always been fond of tree-climbing, and I just love horses. Meanwhile, till I get my license, I am learning London. For two hours every morn'ing I study the map and Kelly's Directory. In the afternoon I ride up and down the less-known suburbs on my bicycle. In the evening I obat to a friendly cabman whenever I (ret the chance. I mean to drive a cab lf they will let me." Field Marshal Wolseley Is Hard Up.

Prince Albert Board of Trad* Initiate* Big Movement, The Prince Albert Board of Trade has Initiated a movement to urge upon the Provincial and Federal Governments Immediate actlo/i to prepare the Hudson Bay route for navigation. They will seek the co-operation of every Board of Trade In the three pralrl* provinces. The Prince Albert Advocate, ln discussing the subject points out that Prince Albert, being the mist northerly railroad point In Saskatchewan, and a very old Hudson Bay Co. post, Is probably more In touch with the north than any other city, and Hudson Bay captains who are frequently here always declare that the bay Is navigable from midsummer until the end of December, and sometimes for a month longer. The dangerous month, they state, ls July, when floating Ice from the Arctic regions comes swirling through the straits, but when this has disappeared there ls nothing to prevent ocean steamers running from Fort Churchill to Europe up to Christmas. The Advocate adds that the feeling of the meeting was that eastern members of Parliament would never willingly consent to the Hudson Bay route being opened, and for this reason it was de- elded to begin a vigorous campaign to demand the rights of trie West. Tnls ls, perhaps, hardly a fair view to take. Doubtless some people would seek to compel the West to send out Ha products through Eastern Canada, even though that should be the more expensive way, but the great majority of eastern people believe that to retard the progress of the West by any such aot as that would be to retard the progress of the whole of Canada. The reason that the Hudson Bay route ls not more discussed in the east ls simply because the people do not yet believe it Is a practical project. When lt Is proved to be practical, and the cheapest route to Europe it will be developed, and It is the duty and opportunity of the people of the West to show lt is practical Big Exploring Expedition on Tapis. Bronzed by the sun, George Elson arrived ln Montreal recently and told onco more the heroic struggle made by _on- idas Hubbard In his effort to got through the wilds <-f Ungava In tha immediate neighbor-hood of the Labrador coast.

The youthful guide who was with Hubbard almost to the hour he died from hunger and exposure, and then took the explorer's widow to the scene of her husband's death, has recently returned from a most successful trip with Mr. S. P. M. Tasker, of Baltimore, Md., one ot the explorer-huntsmen of America. Apart altogether from the aports- man's end of the story, Elson comes with a tale that ls wonderfully interesting to the public They left Mlsslnavl Station, well on the northern boundary, on June 25, and reached Moose on July 11. They remained there ten days and then went to Charlton Island by the Hudson Bay Co.'s steamer, from there to Whale River, and they were soon on the direct course home.

The subject of the above engraving is one of the younger generation of western newspaper men; one who has by sheer personal effort raised himself into his present position. Coming to this country a few years ago with no capital, and not even a definite calling he has won friends and supporters, and qualified himself for the position he holds. The War- man Loader has started out in a ' modest way in an ambitious town, and will grow as the town develops. Mr. Vokina was born in Ramshury, Wiltshire, England, in 1880, of English parentage, and after becoming of sufficient age, attended the Ramsbury public schools until he was fifteen years of age, when he took a situation in a law office. He came to Canada, and applied himself to farming till 1901, at the end of that time buying himself a farm in the Turtle Mountains, which he worked for three years. His newspaper instinct, or inclination, now began to assert itself, and he took a position in the Deloraine Times office, getting a schooling in the typographic and editorial art with Mr. George Patterson. After a short time here he went to the Was- kada Expositor, where_he remained until last June, when he removed to Warman and established the Leader. Mr. Vokins is a steady young man, careful in his utterances, and well balanced mentally, which augurs well for his future in the sea of Western Canadian journalism. We All Have Missions in the World.—There is a work for every man on earth, there is a function to perform for everything on earth, animate and inanimate. Everything has a mission, and the mission nf Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil is to heal burns and wounds of every description and cure coughs, colds, croup nnd all affections of the respiratory organs. The work of erecting a monument to Pope Leo XIII. inside the church of St. John Lateran, Rome, is proceeding rapidly. A large statue flanking the monument and representing religion, has already been placed in position. Last fall there was organized in London an International society for the Propogation of Moral Training in the public schools. The organization of the American branch has just been completed in Chicago and an international congress is to be held next year either in New York or London. 3 IN ONE FAMILY The St. Petersburg newspapers report that several arrests have xbeen made among the troops at Tsars- koe-Selo. DQDtfS'% ?'KIDNEY i % PILLS' W. N. U. No. 618. CURED OF SKIN DISEASE BY ZAM-BUK. Once more Zam-Buk, the great herbal balm, has been proved vastly superior to ordinary remedies, and has cured where other preparations had signally failed. Three children in one family have been healed by it. This not only shows the power of Zam- Buk, but goes to prove how beneficial its pure herbal ingredients are to the delicate skin of children. Mrs. J. C. Bates, of Burke's Falls, reports the case referred to. She says: "I take great pleasure in recommending Zam-Buk as a cure for skin disease. My three children were all broken out with sores on face, hands and feet. Their condition was pitiable, and although I tried various oijitments and salves, they did not seem to be able to get at the root of the evil, and the sores continued to spread. One day I saw a report in a local newspaper telling how beneficial Zam-Buk was for skin diseases, ulcers, etc. I got a supply of the balm and applied it to the children's sores. Almost immediately they got relief, and the sores began to heal. Although the skin disease had defied all the salves I had previously tried, in one week Zam-Buk overcame the trouble, and today the children have not a pimple or spot or mark of disease on their skin. For tins grand result 1 have Zam-Buk to thank. It is a splendid healer." Zam-Buk is thus shown to be altogether different and superior to ordinary remedies. It is a healing balm compounded from saps and essences of the finest known medicinal herbs. It has high antiseptic power, killing disease germs wliich settle on sores and eruptions, etc., and wliich set up festering, blood poison and suppuration. It cures eczema, skin rashes, cuts, burns, bruises, abscesses, ulcers, acne, blackheads, ringworm, blood poison, etc. It heals cracked and chapped hands, cold sores, etc. As an embrocation it is also widely used, and gives speedy relief in cases oi muscular rheumatism, sciatica, etc. Rubbed on the chest in cases of colds, it relieves the tightness and aching. All druggists sell at 50c. a box, or may be obtained post free from the Zam-Buk Co., Toronto, upon receipt of price. Six boxes for $2.50. Send one cent stump for dainty trial box. The Education bill is still agitating all England and there is great interest over what the provisions of the new bill will be. Negotiations are in progress to have Sir Algernon West succeed Hon. James Bryce as chief secretary for Ireland. Itch, Mange, Prairie Scratches and every form of contagious Itch on human or animals cured in 30 minutes by Wolford's Sanitary Lotion. The idea of the immensity of the new Cunarder Mauritania may be gathered from the length of her cable. This is about 1,900 feet long, and weighs, with its shackles, 130 tons. The greater the irritation in the throat . the more distressing the cough becomes. Coughing is the effort of Nature to expel this irritating substance from the air passages. Bickle's Anti-Consumptive Syrup will heal the inflamed parts, whicll exude mucous, and restore them to a healthy state, the cough disappearing under the curative effects of the medicine. It is pleasant to the taste, and the price, 25 cents, is within the reach of all. General Booth, who is in Berlin for the purpose of conducting a monster meeting at the Busch circus on the occasion of the Prussian "Day of Humiliation and Prayer," Bays that he is going to Japan at the beginning of next year, and that he hopes to spend April in thot country.

In the apparatus of two Germans, the growing plant is connected with a disc having in its centre an indicator which moves visibly and regularly, and this movement, magnified fifty times over a scale, shows the progress in growth. 8h* Missed Him. A poor woman who kept a small shop In a northern village and who was troubled with a husband who oould ■oaroely be considered a credit to th* family on* day found herself * widow through the sudden demise of her spouse. A lady who frequently made small purchases at the shop called to see her and to offer her sympathy, though well knowing that the man's j death must in a certain sens* come as , a relief, as the wife had often suffered ■ from his violence. Sh* was not, however, quite prepared for the stoical way ln which th* wlf* took h*r h*reave- | ment. ■ fiald ths lady: "I am sure, Mrs. 0k. yon most miss your husband." | "Well, mum, lt do seem queer to go Into the shop and find something In th* tUL'-w-London Tlt-Blta. i Dear Mother Your little ones an a constant car* in Fall and Winter weather.

Strenuous efforts have been mad* In times past to stamp out smoking. Among; the rules of an English sohool ln 182* lt was laid down that "a master must be a man of grave behavior, neither papist nor Puritan, no haunt- j •r of alehouses and no puffer of tobacco." In Turkey, where the pip* is now I omnipresent, former Sultans mad* smoking a crime, and offenders wer* punished by having their pipes thrust into their noses, while ln Russia a royal •diet ordered th* noses of th* smokers to b* out off.

An old Scotch drlllmaster, so tha story goes, taught his pupils the art of thrusting with the saber until tbey were quite proficient. "Now teach us to parry," said they. "Oh," said he, "you must do the thrusting and let your enemy do the parrying." Her Opportunity. Wlfe-I had better take that hat for 45 shillings. Husband—But I've only got £2 with me now. I'll have to owa them the odd 5 shillings. Wlfe-Oh, then, I'll take this one for 3 guineas. Five shillings Is too Insignificant a sum to owe.

The smartest designs for a linen shirt-waist is made with three deep plaits on each shoulder, back.and front. At the back the plaits taper toward the waist. The pattprp provides for a high band turn down collar.,,but the waist is nlso finish ed with a neckband, so that it may be worn with a stiff linen colli- if prefer, red. The regular shh't-waist sleey.o is used, finished with a straight cuff. The fastening of the waist is in the front tlirough the center box plait. .The stitched plaits and the broad shoulder lino give nhis shirt-waist an air of newness and smartness,. Though this spring the lingerie waist will be more in vogue than ever, yet the taylos-made linen waist will also ,be much in demand. <> ***** The indications muitiply that the spring and summer, will be au all white seaBOii. Waists will rnn generally to sheer goods and lingerie effects. Dot ted Swiss and mulls and lawns will all be popular. The sleeves wonld appear to be getting shorter instead of longer. The' "jumper" has had an impressive popularity among buyers in New York. In taffeta silk or lace it may be worn with any waist, with or without the gnimpe. The (luted bosom stylo is one that may possibly repeat the: success of 'the Peter Pan model of last year. One style of lingerie waisvis finished with neckband to be worn , with stiffly starched linen collar. In addition to linen collars tjnd neckwear to be worn with them, including lawn frontpieceB, jabots and Windsors, theie are other good sellers, such as coat sits, and lace yokes promise to be better than ever. There is not much variation in the cut of skirts, which will be pleated almost tbe same as last season's. The lighter shades will hold for spring, but there will probabijr be a tendency to change to darker materials later. Pull braids are used extensively for trimming, '_ In ladies' dress goods broadcloths continue in excellent request, and voiles are freely taken in blacks, creams, bines, browhs, tans and "greys.

Torrey has finished his evangelistic services in Nashville, Tenn. No great wave of religious emotion swept over the city, but many were converted and united with various churches. In religion example is better than precept. Actions speak louder than words, as Emerson said to a friend, "What you are speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say." Missionary Sobey, now at Panama writes: "The lack of Gospel laborers here is a sad fact. Openings and opportunities were never so numerous, and the call is loud. The masses are apparently untouched." FATIGUE FROM POISONS IN SYSTEM And Good Health Can Only Return When The Blood Filters, the Liver and Kidneys, Are Set Right By DR. CHASE'S KIDNEY-LIVER PILLS. Tired, languid feelings aro the result of the accumulation of waste products in the system. On the failure of the liver and kidneys to remove these impurities the blood becomes filled with poisonous substances which instead of aiding the functions tend to arrest them and g've rise to pains in the limbs, back- nches, headaches and tired, worn- out feelings. There remains to be discovered a .more prompt and effective means of enlivening and invigorating the action of the liver and kidneys;''than Dr. ChaBe's Kidney-Liver Pill's. In fact this medicine is unique in its combined influence on the liver- and kidneys and to this double action is' attributed its extraordinary success in the cure of complicated diseases of these filtering organs. ' > Biliousness, headaches, indigestion, -idney disease and constipation are promptly and thoroughly eured by Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills and the whole system is cleansed of the foul impurities which result in disease and suffering. Miss Julie Langlois, Manor, Sask., writes: "For a long time I suffered from liver complaint and biliousness •and could find nothing to help me until I used Dr. Chase's Kidney- liver Pills. I have recommended these pills to many of my friends and they have all been well satisfied with the results. You can use this letter for the benefit of women who are suffering aa 1 did." Mr. John Guheen, who is in the fish business in Port Hope, Out., states: "In my business I do a great deal of driving over bad roads, and the constant jar of the rig, along with exposure to all sorts of weather, brought on kidney disease. I was in miserable health, and suffered a great deal with sharp pains in my back. I heard of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills, and decided to try them. Before I had used all of the first box I felt better, and three boxes have entirely cured me. I am very glad of an opportunity to recommend Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills, for I have proven their wonderful control over kidney disease." Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Tills succeed where ordinary kidney medicines fail, because o^,'their direct and combined action on', the liver and kidneys. This has been proven in thousands of cases of serious and complicated diseases of the kidneys.

In 1903 ha was made a Bsnoher, and for several years was Qualn professor of law at University College, London.

An explanation of a curious optical phenomenon, sometimes witnessed on frosty nights, whleh Is called the "pseu- do aurora," is offered by a scientist. Tbe phenomenon takes the form of beautiful columns of silvery light standing over electric arc lamps and otber bright lights and sometimes appearing almost to reach the zenith. The scientist says that sometimes the evening star has a bright shaft below as well as above, while the rising moon stands ln a hrond column of light. These appearances are due to floating frost crystals which keep their reflecting faces horizontal. On examination he found that the crystals concerned In the exhibition were thin six sided plates of Ico, never more than one millimeter In dlnnit-ter. When the wind blows, these little plates are upset, and the columns of light caused by resection from their surfaces disappear. Great Comiblnatlos. Suitor—I cannot boast ef wealth. but 1 hare bruins.

Somehow It takes on the very set you've been trying tor much better that way. As for the hem, one ot those little ini-ii min.nm, with Its bit ot chalk held (Irmly nt whatever height you set it, Is a convenience mightily worth having. Evenness ot length la attained without the weary work of bending and trying to let vour eye gauge It. Probably what most usually betrays the amateur Is the direction In which the lines ol seams, or ot the lacks about the hij.s, run. 1 hey sliouiu round up easily Into the bell, neither turning toward the back nor the front. And yet that ls whut the amateur (and even some pro- l.-sionaisl. raroiy looks lo. The usual thing ls to see tucks and seams bent back, making a curve that exaggerates ihe size of the hips and utterly robs the sk.rt of uny grace. lf you ere making a rklrt to wear over a slip, and intend letting a silk petticoat do duty as that slip, by all means fit the petticoat lntc a band before attempting to hang the outside skirt. And be as par. tlcular about that fit as you are about the fit of the outside skirt. For that matter, every petticoat—be It silk, mohair, or lingerie—should be mada to fit smoothly over the hips and back; and the absurd, bunchy drawing strings done away with as a relic of an age of barbarism ln cloihes. BRAINS-NOT SEX knllasy Way ho 7l3r>j\\ i'he. Jie.m. OH, FOR the days when skirts were nothing but straight breadths, gathered around into a bunchl- lness, hideous enough, It Ib true, but at least the sort of thing over which a woman could work in as tranquil a frame of mind as over monotonous darning! Thero's lust one icueon whv the wn.ile feminine world doesn't stand up and boldly defy Dame Fashion, and that Is because the skirts of the last year tand tli'.so lu'nmlsed lor the year to comu) have a trick of being becoming tbat ls as lrresiBtlblo as they make 'em. Even with a good pattern, a circular skirt requires coaxing to make It Just so over the hips. But the most trouble- some part about It Is the wny the hem will sag and sag, be you experienced tailor or veriest novice In the art of handling needle and shears. One clever dressmaker, whose skirts seem to sag less than anybody else'B In town, has revealed tbe secret of her success: Bhe hangs tha skirt on a form end lets It hang until "It Iiub stretched Itself out," us she graphically puts It. Then, and only thon, she puts the hem In (It has only been basted before), and finishes lt oft, fairly secure In her work. That Idea Ib well worth following— anything that prevents endlessly taking up the Hkli.-H Is to be hailed with grateful enthusiasm. lf your hips are falrl. even, try doing your flrst fitting of a skirt wrong side out—It's a lot, easier to mark where the seams shou'd be taken In. Then baste them in and turn lt right THt woman wbo starts her life- work witb tha. notion that she must receive certain considerations and accept certain limitations because of her sex, ls pretty heavily handicapped in (be race. Not tbat she is to set aside her womanliness—it ls never more necessary than ln the work-a-day world. She must merely realize that lt Isn't a question of Woman's Rights or Woman's Wrongs lhat she has to consider; but her own ability to perform the task thai lies before. Never In the worlds history have brains, pare and simple, counted for more than at the present. Never has the question uf sex counted less. There Ib no more reason for a woman tailing simply because she Is a woman than there la for insisting a man is dumb, Just because you muy never have happened to hear him speak. A young woman sculptor, possessed neither of wealth, pull nor exceptional personal charm, exhibited a tne of exquisite workmanship at the St. Louis Fair, side by side with the productions of men. She received an Important medal, and won a reputailon ln the ur- tlstlc world, not because she waB a woman, and not in spite of her being a woman, but because her work wa.- good. Brains counted—not sex The editor of a well-known magazine, always on the a'.ert for new talent, drew haphazard a manuscript from the pile on bla desk, and began to read it, without so much as glancing at tbe at tached name. Before he waa half through the neatly typed pages he had, as he afterward saitl. "Wept and laughed and rejoiced." The nam.-, when he came to lt. was totally unfamiliar. It belonged to a young woman, a Smith College graduate, a girl who bad never been unduly liked or disliked by her classmates; yet barely a year'from tho time of the reading ot that llrst story it had found an enviable place fn latter- day literature. This didn't happen because the writer was a win..an, neither did It fall to happen because she was one. Again brains counteu—not sex. The question of the equably of men and women has been worn threadbare, and has caused an infinity of heartburning that is unnecessary, because there ls no groundwork upon which to raise the structure of an argument. Wa do not say that ihe axe is superior to. the razor, nor vice versa. Yet the finely tempered steel of one would bev blunted and marred if it att mpted the. work of the other, and the weight ant- force of the axe would be clumsy and useless if aDplled to the delicate task of the razor. Thus It ls with men and women—not a question of superiority of intellect but a difference In organization and temperament. The clever woman who makes a failure of her life does not fail because she la a woman, but because sl a neglects to make the moat of her own God- given attributes; because she refuses to rejoice tn the privilege of being a worn- Color Work Grows More Economy in Dress Popular INCH by Inch color work ls encroaching upon the province of all- , white embroidery, showing Itself especially strong ln table cover3 and . their little cousins, which seem like nothing in the world but great centrepieces. ,. Art nouveau and Renaissance Ideas '. have been combined, to mutual benefit, for the designa, even In pieces that rank as Russian or French or Eastern, or as anything else. One stunning cover of natural-colored linen was apparently embroidered, solid In red, the big, effective design looking as though it represented lots and lots of work. lt didn't, though, for outlining was the only stitch used, row after row of it filling in the design, and the heavy rope-silk doing Ita share to minimize the work of that filling by working up heavily. To Make Eyelets THERE'S a new way of making those troublesome eyelets, discovered by a girl who ls locally fa- f mous for inventing labor-saving ideas. It consists ln running the eyelet around and then cutting it from end to end, and buttonholing it, making the stitches as deep as those upon the us- . ual buttonhole, but reversing the stitch • so that the edge stitches back upon the material instead of around the open edge of the eyelet. lt Is about one-fifth as hard to do as the usual way; and the difference in length of time is even more marked. Bags for Clothes WHEN you are making dustbags to slip over your prettiest dresses, make b.ue ones for your white things. Wnite will yellow. There's no denylim that Many a pretty party dress, hung away for a little while, haa yellowed on the hooks until It ls a far cry from the pretty, fresh bit of daintiness It was at first. But a blue bag—one of the deeper china blues is a go..d uepth cf cu,... .o get — m ikes a mighty good ounce of prevention. far,wGame I ANT number of children can play this game, so lt la very suitable for a large party. Two of the children are chosen to stand opposite each other on stools and raise their Joined hands. The others all form ln line and march underneath the hands, all singing together, to the tune of any merry Jingle: "We're looking about for a monkey, A monkey, a monkey, We're looking about for a monkey, We've found one here." At the word "here" the raised arms must come down and Inclose the head of the boy or girl who chances at that moment to be passing underneath their hands. Then all s*ng together: "We found one here, we found one here; We're looking nbout for a monkey, And found one here." "Monkey" must take the place of one of the children on the stools (while that child Joins the marching line), and must call out the name of a new animal—Buy, "rhinoceros." All must remember tbnt "rhinoceros" Is now the word Instead of "monkey.'' and, reBumlng their march, they now ■Ing: "We're looking about for a rhlnoceroi, A rhlnocetofl, a rhinoceros," etc. At the word "lure," whatever child happens to bo mr,/chlng underneath the raised arms Is the "rhinoceros," of course, and ls caught. He takes his place on one of the stools and calls out the next animal word. 8o the game should go, until each child has had his turn getting caught. This game will keep all the children stirring, and will cause them to get over any diffidence Ihey may have -elt on their arrival. Linen Workbags A'-'EW years ago a workbag made of any other material than silk would have been looked at half contemptuously. But the last couple of years linen ones have crept Into favor, until now some of the prettiest of them all arc of ']nen, left plain or embroidered ln any of tne popular styles. One girl, who ls a ways doing fancy work, and who always manages to havo pick-up work ready, has four or five bags, made to match ner morning shirtwaist Buits. Some of the bags, made of washable stuffs, are mado to come apart, so that they may be kept always exqulBltely clean and fresh. An occasional bag is made without the 'beading which usually finishes off the ribbon-run casing. A Crocheted Kimono THE latest version of the klmo.,o is one that ls crocheted In a pattern that manes a tightly crocheted yoke, with the body of the kimono prettily fulled .on In shell stitch. As with kimonos of silk or cotton or wool, bands of a contrasting color flnlsk fronts and cuffs. Of course, only the short kimonos are crocheted; but they are very prett) made of white, with the bands of a pala shade of pink nr blue or lavender. The weight and warmth of the kimono can be controlled by the kind of wool used In Its making, although, as with everything that ls crocheted, there ls one weight more popular than any other. If the work Is done evenly and tha Btltchea set fairly close, tha klnr-no should do up well. KITCHEN RECIPE BOOK AVERY good housekeeper has hei' special Bet of recipes which shu constantly uses, and the tidy souls of many are tried by the soiled condition of the cover of any book that is kept about the kitchen. Flour will stick, butter will smear, sugar has an annoying habit of making Itself felt; and ln a little while she Is constrained to copy her treasures into a fresh blank book, or else to recover the old one. Now, If ln the beginning she would make a cover for her book of kitchen recipes out of white oilcloth, sho would obviate much of her woe. Oilcloth ls pliable and It is durable; moreover, It can be wipe! off with a damp cloth after each using, and Is thus kept In a presentable condition for a very long Ume. Poor Little James. Little James had been telling a visitor that his father hod got a new set of false teeth. "Indeed," said the visitor. "And what will he do with the old set?" "Oh, I s'pose," replied llttle James, "they'll cut 'em down and make me wear 'em." Had to be Somebody. Mother-How Is it, my boy, that you get so many bad marks nt school?

I had nothing suitable to wear, and I knew I wouldn't enjoy It." The word* have a familiar sound. We've sal- them ourselves many a time. lt isn't easy to go places when you aren't properly gowned. It Isn't comfortable to mingle with other women when your heart ls sore for the lack, of all the dainty feminine frills witht which they are possessed, and yet— It Isn't good to stay away. I know one girl who has hosts of friends, aVid who keeps up with them, too, who owns JUDt one street gown in a season, which must do duty for every sort of occasion She has a set of skilful fingers and an Ingenious little brain, and she has rejoiced loudly in the recent fashion of while blouses. She has numbers of them, at a very llttle cost, for she la fast becoming adept in hunting for bargains In materlala. Sl— has developed a talent for laundering them that might put a French professional tr> the blush, and she always looks fresh and dainty. What extra money comea her way goes for gloves, shoes and millinery trifles, for she also builds most ravishing little hats. To be aure, the young woman In question has more time than some of us, and perhaps more skill, but sbo teaches four hours a day in a primary school, and her view ls encouraging, for she succeeds in getting a pretty fair share, of enjoyment out of life Going out among people when you don't feel that your clothes are all that they might b3 la not unlike a swimming lesson — something of a shock when you first plunge Into the.' water, but mighty exhilarating after, you are really there. It's dead easy; to get Into the habit of not going,, and few people are willing to trouble- to go after vou if you don't Come of your own accord, but once^you aro there lt Is the most natural thing for your frferds to insist upon; your coming again. /' Clothca mean such a lot to us women that It sounds almost heretical', to say that they dor't Always count,, but, after all, aren't we much better off if we dor't let the lack of tharo.: spnll all our fun' l7he GAME WHEN we were Children we use- to find great fun In playing "snap." We made the cards for the game ourselves, by cutting them from paste-f ■ board or cardboard. The cards were 2V4 inches by 3*_ Inches, and were colored on one side in red and blue. We colored them witly our water colors. There were thirty-two cards In all. sixteen ln red and sixteen in blue. On one side of each, the side that was not colored, we placed a large figure, corresponding In color to that used on tho back of the card. As there were sixteen cards, the figures were 1, 2, 3 up to 16. The red cards then bore figures corresponding exactly to the blue ones; that is, there was an 8 among the red cards, and an 8 among the blue cards. This was the game: One person took nil of the blue cards, and another took all of the red. The cards were then shuffled, care being taken not to let any one see what card came out on top. Now, with the hand carefully concealing the number of the card to be laid, at exactly the same Instant each player places a card on the table, with the number up. If one Bhould lay a 5 and the other a. 4, or any numbers that do not correspond, each player again deposits a card. But If two corresponding cards are laid, two "e, for Instance, the player who notices this flrBt must cry out "snap!" and he who flrst cries "snap" takes all of the cards that have oven played. The game continues until all cards are on the table, the winner being the one who haa the greatest number of cards, at the end of the game. Thla game Is very Interesting, aB lt Is., necessary for both players to be very alert. Each Is anxious, of course, to be the flrst to see and to call out "snap" ] when two corresponalng curds have | been laid. j bore, paid a visit to a family of her acquaintance, vie prolonged her Btay, and Anally said .o one of the children: "I am going away directly, Tommy, and I want you to go a part of the way with me."

The loyal and victorious Conservatives of Mt,'Pleasant entertained their friends ou Wednesday evening in the Oddfellows'^'Hall, in truly hospitable style.

A pleasing program w&s presented by tbe following ladies anA gentlemen: Vocal soliis by Mrs. Terryberry and Mr. Wm. Moore; recitation by Mrs. v|. A. Allen and F. Condon,, and selections by the Orchestra. Our I009I Orchestra received many compliments from visifofr.fironi, down-town. Whist was engaged ih unfil 11 o'clock when an excellent supper wai served in the dining-'all.
