A dull-fnished French gingham or a

seldom shown in the regulation checked

the importers denominate them. en-
broidered ginghams. There is a tendency
of fashion toward dahlia, or red-purple
and prune, or blue-purple shades, and
all tints and hues of old-rose and pure,

after. Old buff ginghams in fine stripes,
which make such fresh, cool gowns for
summer morning wear are again shown.

Our Short Separation Caused by

But FIVE years is a long time to wait,

if would not 60 with Tom until he had
a mansion to put me into? And so. in
spite Of every thing, Tom had come East
for me. and we were married.
We were very happy. 1t did not seem
to me that two mortals could be SO hap
py on earth as we too were for that first
year. The house, it is true, was very
small, with only two rooms below, and
a::loft above: but had brought my old
books and pictures, with the few new
ones that had been given us when we
were married, and after we had papered
our tiny house. with our own hands, and
put down the bright wool can kt in the
front room, we felt more proud of our
little home than we have ever been Of
any other since. even the snowy house
We occupied in Washington last winter.
And, indeed. it was far beyond any
thing else on the prairies in the shape
of house, for many mile. Our near

tirely on each other for company: but
we were so absurdly in love that neither
of US minded that: on the contrary. il
would have been a great trial to either

dropping in upon our coy tete-G-totss as
we sat just outside our door on those
first summer evenings.
But young folks can't always be young

Did We never have q tiff? Alas! there

trouble between US! 1t grew out Of

me always around, and having me spring

PHILLIPS ORATORY.

"A comparison With Some OF the Other

If we compare Wendell Phillips with

DREAMING OF THE PAST.

Before the fire the old man sits
Tonight, and dreams OF vanished dayA
While DER his locks OF silver fits
A golden halo from the blaze.
And in the ruddy fame he sees
Dear faces that he used to know,
And hears again the birds and bees
or summers ended long ago.
He sees a meadow green with spring.
And April violets in the grass,
And heirs 4 bIuebird caroling
High overhead as warm winds pass.
The sky is bright with springtime gold,
The earth is full OF promises;
The orchards folded blossoms hold
The apples OF the Hesperides
Amaiden's hand he holds in his,
And tells the story OF his love,
And seals it with a lovers kiss,
The red rose OF her mouth above,
He reads heT answer in her eyes,
Like violets'. after April rain.
And through his being swiftly flies
A bliss that is akin to PAIN.
The scene is changed Sweet bridal bells
Come ringing down the years to him,
And while their music sinks and swells
The old mans eyes with tears grow dim.
ITO love and cherish" sing the bells,
It'll death shall part, till death shall part
The echo dies in lonesome knells
In empty chambers OF his heart.
O wondrous artist of the fame
He sees a mother rocking there
The baby with its fathers name,
And with its mothers eyes and hair.
He hears her singing sweet and low,
A cradle song, replete with rest,
While watching, as SO long ago,
The baby sleeping on her breast
Then o er the scene a shadow falls:
The child they loved so much is missed
He does not answer to their calls,
Or come at bedtime to be kissed.
But when they kneel at night TO pray,
Peace comes in answer 10 their prayer,
And Heaven seems not so far away
Because the child they loved is there.
And then the shadow OF her grave
Fal over him from long ago,
90 truest heart God ever gave.
The old man cries, Il love you sou
He sees her in SO many things
The spring-time blossoms bring her back
And every April robin sings
or what his lonely life mus: lack.
Again. in long. still summer days.
He climbs the hill to talk with her;
And in their gentle. wordless ways,
The flowers are her interpreter.
By that low grave, when earth grows dim,
Wha: things are asked, what answers given
And, as OF old. il seems to him
The hilltop almost touches Heaven.
The fre-lights Pickering flame dies low;
The old man wakens with start
And back into the shadows go
The ghos: that haunt his lonely heart.
What witchcraft turks in memory.
And sways us by its subtle power
This man OF four score years and three
Has lived lifetime in an hour.

A Saving Box for Girls.

1t need not be a box at all: it may be
silk bag, or big-welled ink-stand, or
it may be Satsuma jar. But have it.
Then, when the day is done and the
purse is being looked over, count out
the pennies and spare some to the saw
ings box. My dear girl, it is your inde
pendence. The pennies, half-dimes and
dimes count up, and then, when you
want to surprise mother with birth
day gift, when you want to 60 on frol-
ic, or when you would like to have a
good photographs a really good one to give
somebody who is very fond of you, the
money saved is then brought forth. just
try going without few things-a car
fare now and then. some candies, or the
very latest in collars, and dedicate the
ducats to the box. You will be amazed
to see how they accumulate. And best
of all, the saving habit will come to you.
That does not mean lack of generosity,
it means thought for the future. Some
masculine philosopher said women only
began to save money when they had
passed thirty, but il that is true, it is
because the savings box idea Was not
taught from youth.-N. Y. Examiner.

STAGES OF HYDROPHOBIA.
A south Dakota Farmer Goins to Chicago
for Treatment,

CHICAGO, July 3l.-A little woman
from South Dakota IS at the Palmer
House intent on saving helpless Nor
weigan from a horrible death. Manager
Townsend has already shown the kind
ness with which Chicago will un-
doubtedly receive her by giving her a
temporary home until her work IS ac.
complished.
4 year ago the beautiful 6-year-old
daughter OF Gilbert halter, worthy
Norwegian farmer of Webster, South
Dakota, was attacked by Il mad dog.
In trying 10 save his child the father
was bitten in the side and leg. Within
SIX weeks the child died amid the
frIghtful sutferings of hydrophobla.
Now the father is experiencing
the first stages of the same
disease. Unless the best medical treat
ment is obtained for him, 1t is question
OF few weeks before ne meets the fate
of his child. In ms trouble he applied
10 his neighbOr, Mrs. Marriette VI.

partisan W. G. 7. u. and was secretary
of the National convention of that or
ganization in this city last November.

Piled at the Rush Medical College, of
Chicago. But this seemed far beyond

a tornado had destroyed every vestige
of his crops, leaving hlm without g

heart into the work of resculng him
from death, and in twenty-four hours
had raised q sum sufficient for his lnl-
mediate needs among the residents OF
Webster, none of whom are wealthy,
took tie first train for Chicago, en-
listed the services of DR.. Ragorlo, and
this afternoon, with tears IN her eyes
from pleasure at having accomplished
so mucn OF her self-lmposed task, she
telegraphed for the patient to come al
once. He will probably arrive Thurs
day evening. The cost of his treatmen;
and care here, 1t Is expected, will be
met by citizens OF Chicago. Mr.. Bones
