THE WOMAN OF THE FUTURE,

o! the woman Of the future! l can see her
through o haze;
She is coming minus hustle she is coming
minus stays;
I can see her through the shadows Of the pres
ent's misty light
She is coming, she is coming, like an angel Of
delight!
The woman OF the future o! how beautiful
she seems,
AS in fancy behold her, in the brightest Of my
dreams;
In fancy behold her, and 1 long to hear her
voice
Ringing down the pleasant valleys: II am COM
ing o! rejoice"
The woman of the future will not trifle with our
hearts,
She will find more time to study into sciences
and arts;
She will not be too disdainful, irreverent and
proud,
But with all the highest virtues and attain.
ments be endowed.
The woman of the future will be modest in her
looks
She will sing the sweetest ballads and peruse
the choicest books;
Her sympathies will widen and her goodness
will extend,
Until the poor shall bless her and the weak
shall call her friend.
The woman of the future will not throw herself
away,
For the bathrooms gddy pleasures, bringing
wrinkles and decay;
Nor drink the honeyed nectar of enchantment,
long and deep,
Sowing seeds Of dissipation that in anguish
she must reap.
The woman OF the future will come to US as
pure
AS the fragrant Easter lilies, and her fame will
rest secure;
When she comes to dwell among US, in her eyes
that light will be
That we have never seen on land, nor not yet
upon the sea-
o. the woman Of the future will be generous
and brave,
And her honor she will cherish without blem-
ish to the grave.
In Joy wait her coming, she will blossom like
rose,
And her heart will find lover who is worthy
to propose!

three degrees of "beautifying" face,
which means that she lays on the

sponged with hot water and dried.
Then something out of a bottle was
carefully applied and allowed to dry,
and over this a layer of another mix

smooth and white appearance to the
skin. The cheeks were artistically
rouged, the eyebrows penciled and a
dark line made under the eyes, and the

forehead enameled, too, just for an ex-

has dried on the skin, and that is en-
ameling. 1t looks CHASTITY in the day
light.
The maker-up admitted this; and said
another drawback to enameling was
that the wearer mustn't laugh or it
would crack. Indeed" she said,
''ladies of fashion don't smile much,
for laughter is destructive to certain
sorts of makeup; enameling is only for
evening. It's too plain for sunlight"

EXCHANGING SAuUTES.
How the Thing Is Done Among tho M
tives Of South Carolina.

How tho Thing Is Done Among tho Ma.
tives Of South Carolina.
There were eight of us sitting on some
cotton bales at little railroad station
in South Carolina waiting for a train
which wasn't expected for nearly an
hour. Right opposite US was a strip Of
forest, and presently we saw man bend
aside bush and survey US in a cautious
manner. Every one saw him, and yet
no one offered any explanation Of his
presence until he had stood for there
three or four minutes. Then a woman
from Arkansas laid aside her snuff stick
and observed:
Really, now, If was home I should
reckon that Teller meant shute, and
should hurry to make myself skass."
''He can't want to shoot none of us, "
replied one of the men.
Guess I'll make shore Of that by
wakin' him up" said Georgian, as he
got out his revolver. Before he could
fire there was the report of a gun behind
us, followed by a yell, and a native
climbed over the bales, gun in hand,
and started to cross the double tracks.
Ho was not yet over the first when there
was a shot from the bushes, and the man
in front of US spun around like top,
dropped his gun, and fell upon the rails.
Then, before any of us had moved. a
second native came out Of the bushes
with smoking gun in his hand, and as
he bent over the figure on the ground he
laughed:
"Ha! ha! ha! I jist dropped at yer fire
so as to git the drop on you! guess you
won't bother me no mo-"
When he had gone we went to the aid
Of the other. As we pulled him off the
track he struggled up, reached for his
gun and looked around and said:
''Much obleeged. but faint nuthin'.
The onery skunk has jist left bullet in
my shoulder-that's all. I thought
had bead on him, but he drapped too
quick fur me. Any Of you all got any

"Yes, you did do as we'll as a man,
and, Miss Chelton, let me tell you you

1t was the strongest word he had ever
used to lady, and he ratified on to COW
er up his breach of etiquette: "You did
splendidly. The paper was as strong as
q man could have made it. liked the
style. Couldn't have improved on some
of the editorials myself"
Marley liked the Herald-that was
very evident 1t also soon became evil
dent to the Boom town folks that he
liked the editor-or editress as some
heightened into weeks, and all that
time he was lettering around the print
ing Office. 1t seemed to him as though
that was the brightest spot on earth.
He conferred with the villagers, he
launched new plans for the improve
ment of the place, but he gave his best
efforts to making happy tho hours of
the writer of those editorials which had
so caught his fancy.
When at last an imperative summons
from the Quaker city called him home,
he asked that writer to accompany him.
why" said she, roguishly: "What
will the Herald do without an editor?"
1T never shall have another editor"
returned he, impetuously. "I'll dump
the whole Office into tie ravine yonder
No other name shall profane its col
umns."
He did not exactly do that, but on the
day that he and his newly-made bride
were carried away eastward. they saw
from the windows of the Pullman car
three wagons stringing off to the south,
mounting the slope that led after few
miles to the foothills of the Rockies.
There, Alma" said Marley, there

to Gold City. I sold the whole outfit

Boomtown never recovered the loss OF
both its paper and editor. The down
grade upon which it had started when
Manley went West had no end short of
tina: quality called "deadness."

morphosis which Henry Marley and his

Of such tool the old sergeant was sent

convinced, informed the sergeant that

1t Was Shown by Gold-Digger Under
Trying Circumstances.
have heard of many striking exhibit
tions of presence of mind in the face Of
sudden danger, but here is an instance
of it which beats every thing of the kind
that has ever come under my notice. I
can vouch for the truth of the story.
An Australian sforty-niner," who had
struck it fairly rich at the gold diggings,
was taking his nuggets and dust to Mel
bourne. He was walking along by the
side of his team with his rifle under his
arm, indulging in pleasant speculations
concerning the good time he would have
after he had sold his gold, when a
stranger appeared on the road, and ac-
costing him, said:
Give us a piece of 'baccy, mate"
Those were days when people, espe.
cially those who had been to the dig.
gings, didn't stand on ceremony. Sus-
pecting no treachery, the miner thrust
hand into his pocket to get chunk of
the much-prized weed.
In moment the muzzle of a pistol
was thrust against his forehead, and the
| stranger shouted:
Bail upr'
The stranger was a bush ranger, and
that was the way bush rangers ordered
| their victims to throw up their hands
before going through them.
Without pausing an instant, although
he knew that tina bush ranger had only
to exercise little gentle pressure with
| his forfinger to blow him into eternity,
the miner bawled out at the top of his
| voice:
''Bobv'
| There was no "Bob" around there. 1t
was ruse conceived by the miner in
the fraction of a second and Immediate
ly put into execution to distract the at
tention of the bush ranger 1t worked.
The bush ranger thought the miner was
calling companion to his assistance.
de looked around to catch a glimpse OF
the fictitious Bob" That was the
miners opportunity. Quick as a flash
he swung his left arm and knocked the
pistol out of the bush rangers grasp.
Then he brought his rifle to his shoulder
| and leveled it at the bush rangers
head. In much less time than it takes
to tell it the situation had been COM
| pletely reversed. The bush ranger was
| at the mercy of the miner,
"Now," said he, ''you scoundrel. inst
fold your hands behind your back and
march ahead of me; if you move or try
to run away I'll save the hangman a lob
by letting daylight through YOU"
In that way the miner escorted the
bush ranger into town and handed him
over to the police.-Toledo Blade.
