Cold Weather in London.

The severe weather which has pre-

HER SECRET.

a Thunderstorm Causes Painful Com
A.. fession.: :. :.
The well-known fact that ''out OF the
abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh" was amusingly illustrated a
short time ago at large and fashiona-
BILE hotel on the North Shore. A thun-
der shower which came on early in the
evening increased to violent proper
tions and was accompanied by gale
of wind which shook the house and
caused considerable alarm among the
guests. Many Of those who had already
retired to their rooms came out into
the corridors, while the gentlemen
hastcned about assisting in closing
windows, fastening doors, etc.
A sudden binding flash of lightning,
followed by heavy crash of thunder,
proved too much for the already over
wrought nerves of one member of the
fair sex. Rushing from her room, she
precipitated herself into the arms OF a
gentleman who happened to be passing
down the hall at that moment "Oh,
save me-" she cried. THE house will
be struck; know it will" .
Mistal1ing her in the dim light for a
married friend of his wife, he Olsen
gagged himself somewhat hastily from
her clinging arms and said, :dryly
'There is no danger, madam. But why
do you not go to your husband?" 81

Do to my faults a triiie blind."-OId Ssyin,
Ny darling. IL your sillscn hair
Were just n rifle red,
And should those small, bcslippereI feot
Fail In their nmble tread
A1d make you walk with lagging pace
Or cen n trific lame,

But love you just the same.
And II, my dear those pearly teeth
Were not OF natures own,
Cut purchased ut some dental shop.
And hard as any stone
Remember. age takes all VIC prize,
And il deprived OF such
I'd be to those q trifle blind,
And love you just rs much.
Ah, IL those lovely eyes OF yours
Were not OF deepest blue,
I'd know full well that in their depths
Loves light burned warm and true;
And even il one stellar orb
Was made OF pure glass,
Would not care fig, my dear.
But let that item pass.
But II that little nose OF yours
Were slightly out OF joint
OF course 'twould worry me bit,
But that is not the point;
II YOU were so unfortunate
From all your charms to part,
stlll would love you just the same-
only want your heart.

IMMENSELY. OF AUSTRALIA.

One Phase of the Subject Which Americana
Often Miss.
Among the tacit misconceptions into
which distant critics are most likely to-
fall about antipodean affairs is that.
which is based upon ignorance of the
enormous area and possibilities OF the
colonies. Especially is this likely in
the United States, where the assump-
ton may be that, as the population Of
Australia is about the same as that OF
the thirteen original seaboard colonies
of America, the surface over which
they are distributed is also approxi-
mately the same. AS a matter of fact
there is no such proportion. New
South Wales alone is as large as they
were: Tasmania, the Rhode Island OF
Australia is as large as that state with
New Jersey, New Hampshire and Mas
sachuse It's added; Victoria, the smallest
colony of the continent, is equal in size
to Great Britain; Queensland surpasses
the united areas of Austria, France and
Germany; South Australia one-third
greater than Queensland, is nearly as
large as Western Australia, which OF
itself has nearly four times the extent
| of Texas. while the two colonies to-
| Cether are larger than the whole of
| Europe without Russia. The seven
| colonies between Inefu occupy ii lSti i
! tory greater than that of the United
states. excluding Alaska 1t is true
| that at present Australia has barely
| four millions inhabitants, but these
immense areas represent potential
population to which it is impossible to
set bounds. No part of the continent
| is SO hot and so unhe althy as to forbid
white settlement, and if the strip of
| low-lying coast lands in the north be
omitted there is no part of it yet colon
zed in which Europeans cannot work.
| Port Darwin, the country about the
Gulf of Carpentaria, and an indefinite
| belt toward the northwest lie within
the tropics and are suitable for tropical
productions; but the high plateau of
northern Queensland, which runs close
to the sea, is found thoroughly healthy
for English miners and graziers and
enjoys bracing winter. The back coun.
] try, though waterless by comparison
with the Mississippi valley, is able tc
carry stock well in most seasons and
with well tanks and dams may be made
to do so in all years. The desert coun-
try of eastern Australia has yet to be
found.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR MEN.
How to Make Pretty Hanging Case For
the Daily Newspaper.

How to Make II Iretty hanging Ease EOr
the Daily Newspapers.
Christmas presents for fathers and
brothers are often hardest to choose,
especially when the work of ones own
hands is best appreciated. Among
articles useful and pretty is hanging
case in which to keep the daily paper.
To make.itr a piece of bucllram or any
stiff lining material IS required for n
foundation. which should be thirty
inches long and thirteen wide. Cover
this on one side with dark blue plush
and on the CHER with gold-colored
siicsia. Let TIE plush'lap over'the edges
about an inch and hem down nicely
upon the siiesia lining. If desired the
plush may be previously stamped with
the word newspapers, or with a flower
design, and outlined with gold thread.
Then sew the ends of the strip to-
gether, letting the joining come at the
back. Through one end slip small
gilt rod with chain attached. such as is
sold in the picture stores for mounting
| panels or banners. This case is also
very pretty for cngravings or photo
graphs.
| \ postal card holder is made of the
| cclluloid to be found in fancy goods
stores. Ii cream-whitc celluloid and
| yellow ribbons are used it is very
| pretty. Cut an cbiong piece fourteen
| inches long and six inches wide. AS
| the polished surface is on one side only,
face one end down for about six inches
| with another piece of similar width.
| This is done by cutting tiny Sits in
| each corner and taking few stitches
| which are afterward CO 1cealcd. Then
| turn up thu other end 20 a line five
inches from the top cutting Sits through
| which narrow satin ribbon is
passed aud the edges held firmly in

| rosettes and sew them. With gold
| paint or ink letter the part turned

The Dog Used to he on the stage ana Ne
- Hsdn't ForGotten fsis Part.
A very tall and very slim young man
leaned against a closed gate in front OF
q house in the suburbs and brushed the
dust from . pair of well-worn patent
leather shoes as he watched q dog on
the other side.
Around his shoulders swung an
empty portfolio and in one hand he
carried, In q bound volume, the autobi-
ography of q great and recently de-
ceased war general. The fact that the
autobiography was written for COM
mercial purposes during the week OF,
the war generals funeral does not
enter into our story.
1t was the plain ambition OF the dog To
reach the slim mans checked trousers
through the pickets of the fence. aud
while his efforts in that direction failed
to interrupt the thorough polish OF the
patent feathers, they attracted the at
tention and interest of third party.
A short man. whose costume OF rags
and dirt showed evidences of veteran
yagrancy, was limping toward the gate
from across the street.
.For a quarter, pardner, he said,
swinging himself easily to seat on the
fence .'I'll call off tn dog"
the stranger. who endured the scrutiny
with cheerfulness and then reached
two fingers into his vest pocket Be-
fore Withdrawing them. however, he
glanced at the dog, whose blazing cyes
were turned on the ragged man with
| unmistakable desire.
"Go ahead" he said. "Ill leave
quarter on the fence and you can have
| it when you come back-alive.
| The stranger waited until the coin
| was deposited on top of picket, and
then slid to the ground inside the
| fence.
Thrusting one foot in front OF him,
he raised his right hand and pointed
with a dramatic effect toward the rear
of the yard. Then, as the dog came
rapidly in his direction with every front
tooth visible and the slim young mans
hair arose on his head, he whispered
hoarsely:
"B'gone, Tirego! sce'st thou the
bloody trail of thy unhappy mis-
tress-s-s-and dostest thou wait! By
gone, / say" s..
A look Of surprise stole over the face
of the dog as he brought himself to a
reluctant halt Then, at the last word,
his nose dropped to the ground and nc

the gate, while his companion wiped
1 the perspiration from his forehead and
stopped to pick up the autobiography

following resolutions were unani-
mously passed by the Lisbon AL
lianGei-
Resolved, That this Alliance re-
news it's allegiance to the principles
of The Farmers Movement and to
its leader, Gov.B.R Tillman.
2. That we do not believe Cover
nor Tillman has been, is, or over
will be disloyal to the Alliance or
the farmers interest in South Car
olina, Notwithstanding the efforts
Of certain coat-tail politicians to
| persuade the members of the ALI
ance to the contrary.
8, That we favor the Ocala de-
mands, bub this Alliance accords to
Governor Tlllman tho right of free
thought and free speech. and the
time has not come to sacrifice Gov
ernor Tillman for the very doubtful
chance of getting the Sub-trcasury
or any other scheme.
8. That If it is the purpose of the
leaders of the Alliance to deliver
our organization to the Third Bar
ty, we would like to know it at
once.
