DREAM SHIPS.
OHIO

Lightly rs over meadow grass
The birds and clouds in shadow pass,
So nightly over Droam.land sea
My bonny ships sail merrily,
AS, slowly rounding into view
Al owe the azure rim of night,
Prom ports OF Slumber carthward blown,
Down the long reaches OF the blue
They sail into the mellow light
OF moon and star.
From ports of Slumber earthwapd blown,
From isles of Night in seas unknown,
From charmed bays and fairy shores,
Galley and Barge OF antique mould
Dropping at eve with noiscless oars.
Stately Galleons, tripledccked
With yellow ingots in the hold,
And many graceful Brigantine,
With slender spars of mountain pine,
And sails OF whitest moonbeams wrought
Light as the hammered gossamer
That trails upon the autumn breeze
From brown October's russell trees.
A bow.shot from the moonlit sward,
IN deep sea-meadows, blossom starred,
My bonny ships at anchor swing,
o mariners, what do We brings
Pearls from the mermaid's watery cell,
Pure gold from sunny Orient lands,
With many arosy-chambered shell,
And jewels wrought by elin hands;
c osses and amulets of price,
Euwrought with many a rare device;
fuir flowers, the nurslings of the spring;
Dirds sweet of song and bright of wing;
With fruitage OF the summer zone,
And many fair embossed stone
We'll worth the ransom of u king.
Only in dreams, alas alas
My white ships sail the tideless sea;
OAly in dreams their shadows pass,
Bird-lilic, across the moonlit lea.
Oaly in dreams! All day they lie.
Dark hull, white sail and slender spar.
Moored in the lea of some fair star
1slanded in the upper sky.

WILLIE WIN1ER,s Wit.
He Was Forgotten Once, But Forgetfulness
Is an Excusnble Fault.

Is an Excusnble Fault.
Willie Winter is one of the wits of
the New York press, says Marshall p.
Wilder in his new book. He is very
salemn-looking fellow, and have hoard
that he confines his humorous exuher-
ance to the columns of the newspaper
on whose staff he has been valuable
contributor for good many years, but
the only time | ever heard him speak
in public he was quite equal to the
occasion. 1t was dinner at which
General Sherman presided. My name
was on the list. but perhaps the Cen
eral had mislaid his glasses for in
stead of calling for Wilder he named
Winter. Winter, who had seen the
list himself, arose and remarked grave
ly: ~ had found myself almost en-
tirely forgotten here, but General
Sherman, who never yet disappointed
any expectations which were made OF
him, looked for me in the person of my
esteemed friend. Marshall Wilder.
was not in the least disappointed. 1t
reminded me of an old yarn about ~
negro preacher who used TO open q
Bible at random when he went into the
pulpit, and one day he stumbled ON "
chapter which is the terror Of young
people who attempt to commit the
Bible TO memory, and read as follows:
And unto Enoch was born Trad. and
Trad forgot Mehujael. and Mehujael
forgot Methusael, and Methusael forgot
Lamech. and Lamech took unto him
two wives and forgot Jabal. Now. my
beloved bruddarn, dis text am meant
to show you firstly dat dem old patri-
archs dey was mighty forgitful.' Never
mind about the rest"

AxloMS OF COLOR.


when Painting n House.
A few axioms and rules of color
should be Kept in mind while selecting
colors for the exterior of house.
There are but three primary colors,
namely blue, red and yellow, which
are called primary because they are
not formed by the admixture of colors.
All other colors than the primary re-
suit from admixture: Mixing blue and
red produces purple; mixing red and
yellow produces orange; mixing yellow
and blue produces green. These three
colors, each produced by the admixture
of two primary colors as above de-
scribed, are termed secondary colors
BY the admixture of two secondary
colors, tertiary color is produced;
purple and orange produce russell;
orange and green produce citrine;
green and purple produce olive. Rus
set, citrine and olive are called the
tertiary colors.
Diluting colors with white produces
what are called tints; diluting with
black produces shades. The colored
cards of paint manufacturers usually
show tints and shades.
Harmony of colors results from agree
able contrasts. Colors which perfectly
harmonize improve one another to the
utmost. Perfect harmony in any color
scheme requires that the three primary
;olors shall be represented, either in
their purity or in combinations. That
the eye demands the presence of the
three primary colors, is proved by this
experiment: When red alone is viewed,
the eye creates for itself green (Which
is yellow and blue combined), and this
green is cast upon whatever is near.
When the eye views green. red in like
manner is created. and is cast upon adj
jacent objects. 1t follows that when
red and green are juxtaposed, each
creates the other in the eye, and the
red created by the green is cast upon
the red, and the green created by the
red is cast upon the green; thus the red
and the green are both intensified and
improved by being juXtaposed.
Red and green combine to yield har-
mony, as has been shown. Blue and
orange also produce harmony, and
yellow and purple, for in each case the
three primary colors are present.
There are, however. subtleties of har-
mony which are difficult to understand.
The rarest harmony of colors, anala-
gous to harmony of musical sounds.
frequently approaches the verge of
discord.
When colors are juXtaposcd they
always influence each other Thus,
when a light and dark color are side
by side the light color appears lighter
and the dark darker; when red and
green are juXtaposed the red appears
redder than it actually is, and the
green greencr; when blue and black
are side by side the blue manifests but
little alteration, while the black as
sumes an orange tint or becomes
rusty"
Blue is cold color and seems to re-
cede from the eye. Red is Il warm
color and remains stationary rs to dis
tance. Yellow is the color most nearly
allied to light and appears to advance
toward the spectator.
While the exterior colors of house
should harmonic with themselves, the
foliage and lawns (or the
absence of them) must be taken into
At little distance
the eye demands harmonious relation
of colors between the house and its
st. Louis Republic.

They are from Michigan " replied
the pleased landlady. 'and 1 don't

"Ten cents a quart, Mrs. Hashwell," I"

ries in the meantime and had Laid the
dish reverently aside, sis cheap enough

Farming tends to cultivate ind q
pendence OF character. The farmer is
his own master more largely than most
other classes OF men. He has not to cater
to the whims OF the public, and it is
susceptible OF demonstration that these
things favor health and longevity. :

Some visitors were going through
one of the public schools. The teacher
OF one of the classes stood up the pupils
to show OFF in recitation of history.
1t was rapid cross fire of question
and answer about the dates Of battles
in the Revolutionary war, and the vis-
itors listened with interest and in
silence. The last query put by the
teacher was addressed TO an intelligent,
bright-faced little girl in blue dress.
The teacher asked: "When was the
battle of Yorktown. Susiep" "17S1,"
promptly replied Susie. Then one Of
the visitors put query to Susie. 1t
was: "And what was the battle about,
and where was it foughtpn IL dom,
know ma am. We won't have that IT.
our lesson till next year." responded
Susie, promptly and unabashed. and as
II it were not fair TO expect little girl
like her to know more than the dates
Of battles.

On motion the report was accepted.
Under the head Of reports on commit
tees, Granville Seuart, of committee
on international seizlres, reported
that he bad been unable to CLEAN any
information on the subject since the
last report but believed that the
seizures under investigation had all
been settled satisfactorily, and that no
new cause Of trouble had arisen since.
Pres't Scott stated that he had re.
celved letter from Montreal on this
subject, reciting the advantages and
benefits derived by stockmen on this
side of the line from the vigilance and
activity Of the mounted police. who
promptly looked after the recovery Of
stock run over the line from American
owners, but thst we seemed to be
DO owerless to return the favor In case
of stock run over on TO American soil.
The writer hoped that the question
would receive the consideration of
Montana stockmen at this meeting.
Mr.. Stuart stated that he personally
had given the question much thought
That the stockmen Of Choteau county
had been active In their eDdeavors d
reciprocate the favors received at the
hands Of the mounted police and re
lated case Of band OF horses thai
had passed through Choteau county t,
the northwest territory, had ther,
been seized at Fort Mcleod by custom
officials. Subsequent TO the seizure
the persons In charge had stolen abou
sixty head and made their way bach
to American coil. These parties wer'
arrested on the Marlas river, and tn,
stock is now held awaiting owners
meanwhile the Choteau county stock
men are investigating the matter, snt
doing all they can to help out th'
British customs officers. Judge Sire
veil asked why II was that We coult
not render as efficient service 10 thu
stockmen over the line "a they did h
us. Stuart explained that the fact o
the Canadian government having th'
mounted police force contnually Ia

Of the stock; we having no such force
and disinclInation on the part OF

1t was intended to convene the
meeting Of the Montana Stockgrow-
ers' Association yesterday morning at

that hour the members of the associa-
tion to the number of about 65 gath
cred at the court house, who with the
addition of railroad representatives,
Chicago commission men and Others
whose business interests are inter
woven with the stock interest, swelled
the number present to about l25, when
Pres't Scott's gavel fell and the meet

first announcement was that owing to
restraining circumstances, Secretary
Russell b. Harrison could not he pres

WHISKY IN KENTUCKY.
It is Not Used So Extensively as a
Drink as Is Generally Supposed.
Charles Dudley Warner in Hdrper's.

dS - OupRO5cN'
Charles Dudley Warner in Hdrper'S.
There are many distilleries in this part of
the country, and great deal of whisky is
made am not defending whisky, at least
any that is less than thirty years old and
has attained a medicinal quality. But
want to express my opinion that this is as
temperate as any region in the United
States. There is widespread strict tenn
perance sentiment, and even prohibition
prevails to a considerable degree. Whisky
is made and stored, and mostly shipped
away; rightly or wrongly, it is regarded as
q legitimate business, like wheat raising,
and is conducted by honorable men. l be-
lieve this to be the truth, and that drunken
ness does not prevail in the neighborhood of
the distilleries, nor did l see anywhere in
the country evidence of habit of dram
drinking, or the traditional matter of
course offering of whisky as hospitality.
1t is true that mint grows in Kentucky,
and that there are persous who would win
the respect of a tidewater Vlrginian in the
connection of julep. And no doubt in the
mind Of the born Kentuckian there is a
rooted belief that If person needed slim
ulant, the best he can take is old handmade
whisky. Where the manufacture of whisky
is the source of so much revenue, and is
carried on with deCorum. of course the pub
lie sentiment about il differs from that of q
community that makes its money in raising
potatoes for starch. Where the horse is SO
beautiful, feet and profitable, OF course
there is intense interest in him, and the
general public take lively pleasure in the
races; but if the reader has been accustomed
to associate this part of Kentucky with
horse racing and drinking as prominent
characteristics, he must reverse his opin-
ion.
