SUMMER, SWEET SUMMER.

The spring has fed with its shine and shower,
And the summer reigns, in the radiant hour
When noon burns sweetness from every
flower
That turns its face to the sun.
She reigns in the waning blue OF the skies,
" b IN the level light of late evening lies
On pastures golden with memo les
OF dear dreams, over and done.
o summer. splendid crown of the year,
Beyond faint spring and wan autumn dear;
Hope and remembrance are all they bear,
But joy is the soul of thee
A soul that stirs in the unripe corn,
In the dewy hush of the new sweet morn,
When in leafy woods soft echoes are born
r. OF the far-off song of the sea.
o summer, sweet summer, when lovers stray
Through the fields soft-wreathed in the new
mown hay,
And down through the leafy lane;
When the young dream dreams, and the old
folks stand
And look out over the quiet land,
And sigh mot sadly, if hand clasps HANDY
That youth comes never again!
For the summer dies-as our youth must
And vain are the prayer and the passionate
cry,
The roses ana beautiful days go by
With all their wonder and worth;
And SHOWS arc over the lily's head,
And sheet of ice on the roses bed,
And love may die now the leaves are dead
And winter is lord of the earth.
Yet listen, sad heart. to the sad refrain
OF the brown-winged birds in the brown
hedged lane;
Summer has gone, but she comes againl
Sweet summer never can die.
And youth, sweet youth. is immortal, too,
And will bloom again rs the roses do,
And love is eternal-if hearts be true
Though youth and the rose go By.

THE DIMINUTIVE MAN.
The Way in Which He Is Made to
Suffer by Writers Of Fiction.

The short man has suffered much at
the hands of the writer's of fiction, says
The Liverpool Courier. He is never al
lotted the part of the hero, though there
is no valid reason why he should not
be. Search through all the fiction
you like, and look up the heroes;
they are all tall, every one of them,
no matter whether they be black,
blue, gray OF tawny. This is what you
read: "His tall presence Oyershadowed
and protected her as the pine of the
Apennines does the strayed and bewil-
dered lamb" or ''His form, far above
the middle height, appeared be-
fore her in the moonlight, and she knew
that, whatever else happened, that she
was his for ever and ever" 1t is only
a very realistic writer who condescends
to have hero of average height" and
even he is apt to forget himself and
make his hero grow, after he is long
past tWenty-one, into a towering
form.''
There is special brand of humanity
kept on tap for heroes, all of them men
heart of Frederick the Great, who is
quite welcome to them, for all we care.
On the other hand, the writer when he
has an unsympathetic character to por-
tray nearly always makes him short.
Look at the ''rascally attorney" he is
always made an 'undersiZed'' man,
though there is no reason why he should
be. And the writer, forsOoth, never
makes his really respectable villain, the
man who does the bold murders, the
kidnapings and the big forgeries par
ticularly short; only those of his villains
are short who are mean and cOntemptl-
BILE ours. This is distinctly unfair. 1t
is hardly necessary to add that the same
writer, when he wants butt for the
exercise of his witt, or for his other
character to play tricks upon. takes
short man for the purpose. 1t is always
a short man who is fool enough to fall
in love with the heroine, without the
ghost of chance, and who is cut out,
if not kicked out, directly the hero
look ridiculous, and after humorist at
tempt at suicide, he is relegated for
consolation to brandy and soda.

danna handkerchief, and but few
of the wholesale notion houses
kept them in stock. Now there
is great demand for them, and
several hundreds of cases of these hand
kerchiefS have been sold in Philadel-
phia in the last six weeks. To supply
the demand six mills are now working

of alternate red and white
stripes. The cotton bandannas are
the most popular and retail for
10 cents. There are several colors in
silk bandanaS, The most called for being
white spots on a brown ground. Like
the cotton goods, they have border of
alternate stripes of white and brown,
and sell for rs cents for the smaller size
and 81 for the larger. An enterpriSing

one, 24X36 inches, is in demand at 50. A

voice entitled her to rank with the most

fruit, for the queen began to ask herself
if these rare vocal gifts ought not to be
dedicated to herpeople. She determined
first to have the unbiased opinion of a
musical critic, and went incognita to the
French professor, Dumanois, and sang
before him in Bucharest. The profess

said seriously: "You have no voice at

and excellent phrasing. l would train
you for the operetta, but that, to be sin

queen handed the professor several gold
pieces with her card. buying, before she
left, dozen operate airs for private
study. The queen has also written

John Scott Harrison, the father of the
present nominee, was member of con-
gress from 1853 to 1857. He died at his
home in Cincinnati eight or nine years
ago. Benjamin Harrison was born at
North Bend, O., Aug. 20, 1888, and first
saw the light OH the bluffs of the Ohio
river about fifteen miles below Cincin-
natl.
1t has been said that besides his de-
scent from the signer of the death war
rant of king, he has also celebrated
Indian blood in his veins, being one of
the great army of descendants from the
rOmantically celebrated Indian princess,
POcahontas. Mr.. Harrison's descent
from the Indian princess, whose portrait
is given, has been traced in this wise:
g King POwhatan, sachem of the Indians
of Eastern Virginia, who died in 1918,
had daughter, the celebrated Poca-
hOntas, who was born in Virginia in
1896, and died in England in 1877. She
married John Rolfe, as his second wife,
April 5, 1914. Rolfe was then living in
Henrico county, Va, and had for some
time been secretary of the Virginia
colony.

His Signature and Arms.

Of the Harrison who signed the death
warrant of the king, that inimitable Cos
sip, Samuel Pepys, has this to say in
his diary on the 18th of October, 1860:
II went to Charing Cross to see Maj.
Gen. Harrison hanged, drawn and quar-
tered. 1t was done there, he looking as
cheerful as any man could do in that
condition. He was presently cut down
and his head and heart shown to the
peoples which there were great shouts
of joy. 1t is said that he said that he
was sure to come shortly at the right
hand of Christ to judge them that now
judged him, and that his wife do expect
his coming again. Thus it was my
chance to see the king beheaded at
at Whitehall and to see the first blood
shed in revenge to the king at Charing
Cross"
Historians also say that when the
king was in Gen. HarrisOn's custody on
his conveyance from Windsor to White
hall for trial he was struck with the
latter'S Soldierly appearance, land he told
him that he had been informed that he,
Harrison, would assassinate him. Har-
riSon replied that parliament would not
strike the king secretly.
Major Gen. Harrison's descendants
emigrated shortly after his execution
to Virginia, and a member OF the fam
lily made his appearance in the house of
burgesses there prior to the Revolution.
Indeed the family had become promi-
nent one in the Old Dominion at the
time of the beginning of the Revolution.
Thus it came that Benjamin Harrison,
great grandfather of the present Ben"

ton of Independence, signing, as shown

that the demands for admission to

queen thought of delivering her lectures
in the High school to all pupils who
cared to attend. Before her majesty
could do this, however, she had to OBJ

The handle should be low.
The seat should be high.
The knees should always be turned in,
so that they nearly touch each other.
The rider should, of course, sit erect
ard steady.
The skirt should be full, and at least
as long as an ordinary walking skirt.
The mount should be practiced
evenings until thoroughly mastered.
The side mount, although little more
difficult to learn, is infinitely more
graceful than putting the foot over the

would be impossible.
