The Summer Girl of 1899.

The summer girl this year is not a
lawn tennis girl. She is just a plain
croquet girl, as was the summer girl of
twenty or more years ago. Her cos
tune is dainty and picturesque and
more feminine than that of the girl with
the racket, and she shields her fair head
with softly tinted parasol, which en-
hances rather than endangers her beauty.
Mallet and ball have knocked out racket
and net; the spreading, half dropping leg
horn hat of soft texture and creamy tint
reasserts its sway over the "outing" hat
of felt or the yachting cap of flannel for
our garden parties, and the reason is OBJ
vious.
This is q warm summer-who ever
knewa presidential summer that wasn't?
and the activity of the sunbeaten ten
mis- court becomes less alluring than III.
outrageous croquet grounds. 1t is easier
and pleasanter to arrange little 'acci-
dental" grouping of two in cozy corners
of the field, and more conducive to harm
less little Irritation, good for the sum
mer season only. Croquet is eminently
Irritation game, and as such commends
itself to the young people. Who cain
blame them?-Utica Observer.

Whom first we love, you know, we seldom we'd
Time rules us all; and life, indeed, Is not
The thing we planned 1t out ere hope was dead;
And then we women cannot choose our lot.
Much must be borne which 1t Is hard to bear;
Much given away, which II were sweet to
keep.
God help us ALL who need. indeed, his care.
And yet, | know, the Shepherd loves his
sheep.
My little boy begins to babbe now
Upon my knee his earliest infant prayer.
He has his fathers eager eyes, know,
And, they say. too, his mothers sunny hair
But when he sleeps and smiles upon my knee,
And | can feel his light breath come and 60
| think of one (Heaven help and pity meD
Who loved me, and whom loved, long ago.
Who might have been-ah, what dare not
We are all changed. God judges for us best
God help us do our duty, and not shrink,
And trust In Heaven humbly for the rest.
But blame us women not, II some appear
Too cold at times and some too gay and light
Some griefs gnaw deep. Some woes are hard
to bear.
Who knows the Past7 and who can Judge US
right?
All. were we judged by what we might haze
been,
And not by what we are, too apt to fall

These thoughts and me- In Heaven we shall
know ALL

Considering the vast fortune left by
Mr.. Astor, the women of the family are
given but beggarly pittance. Mrs.
Astor's $4,000 will not enable her to
live as she has been living. With two
immensely expensive establishments to
keep up, one in Fifth avenue and one
in Newport, she will have struggle for
existence. She will be obliged to dis
pose of a lot of horses, dismiss servants,
cut here and curtail there in order to
make both ends meet. | have already
suggested that the Astor women should
"get together" and make determined
stand for their rights, and l am still of
the opinion that the point is well taken.
They are decidedly getting the worst of
it. They are apparently faring worse
as the fortune gets larger, and the time
may come when they will be forced to
take in washing. John A. Cockerill in

Training Youngsters to Sling Stones.

1t has been said that Asiatic nations
excelled others in the use of the sling,
and the singers of an ancient army
used their little weapons with terrible
effect. "These natives have such skill"
says one old historian, "that 1t very
rarely happens that they miss their aim
What makes them SO great in the use
of the sling is the training given them
from their earliest years by their moth
ers, who set up piece of bread hung at
the end of rod for target and let
their children remain without food until
they have hit it, when the child who is
the victor receives the bread as the re-
ward of his skill and patience. ."-Har-

HEARTS HUNGER.

We let them be just for a little while,
We cannot bear to put them yet away
The vacant high chair of little child,
The torn hat but worn the other day.
Or the low footstool where our dear ones feet
Had rested, or the fathers easy chair,
That never more will hold the manly form
We let them stand, the room would look too
bare.
We gaze out in the waning, fading light,
The books and music mock us in the room;
Our hearts are with that new made grave In
the night
All dark and shadow haunted In the gloom
God pity those who wait In vain to hear
The sound of feet that ne'er will tread again
Or long to kiss white faces hid away,
In their deep beds beneath the snow and rain.
The wind from out the harp Of nature chants
A dirge above them as 1t passes by;
The dead leaves, tears of autumn, sadly fall
Upon our sleeping ones as still they lie.
Oh, ye who never DER dead loved ones wept,
Who neer kissed cold hands and faces white,
And held out empty arms and hearts to God,
Can never know the pain we feel tonight

THE WOMAN BOOK AGENT.

She Is Entitled to Consid deration, Though
She Gets but Little.
OF all the wage earners of the gentler
sex the woman book agent is most to be
pitied. She, owing to her occupation,
has to struggle not only against the
usual trials attendant on woman's
starting out In life for herself, but she
must oppose the tradition of years that
has caused the people to regard her as
an unmitigated nuisance.
Remember, dear "lady Of the house."
how you would feel if the wheel of fate
should revolve with sufficient speed to
throw you on your own resources and
you were compelled in order to exc out
an existence to ring strange doorbells,
interview sharp tongued and uncharita-
BILE members of your own sex, walk
many mile through dust or rain, your
one shabby black gown growing shah
bier with each days wear and going
home at night with perhaps only one
order, which means for all the hours of
labor not enough to pay for a substan-
tial meal. OF course it is very trying
when your servant announces, ga lady
in the parlor wishes to see you, ma am"
and you hastily don your most becoming
tea gown, give your hair an extra brus 1
and twist, descend to the waiting stran-
ger with your company manners on and
find instead Of the caller you expected a
faded woman with the inevitable pack
age or little bag who commencGMat once
on the beauties of the book sh6swishes
to canvass.
No wonder you are cross and put out,
but change places with her and would
you not be the greater coward in her
position? You are IN your own house.
She has edged i'll under false pretenses,
for such has her vocation become that
once let it be known that she is book
agent she will have the door slammed
in her face. Therefore she must dis
semble and enter your abode under the
guise of social caller.
She realizes your displeasure and talks
all the harder to cover her own embar-
rassment. Tears may be very near the
surface and the hands that struggle to
unite the knots that bind her wares to-
gether may be trembling with nervous
ness, yet she must talk on. She must
urge the sale if possible, and when at
last she is perhaps not too politely shown
the door she knows that the same ordeal
must be gone through with many times
before she can seek the shelter of the
poor place she calls home and give up to
the luxury of good cry, for she is but
a woman after all, with a woman's heart
and tender feelings.
Ofcourse thepushing, aggressive mem
bers of this body need no sympathy.
They will get on in life no matter how
many rebuffs come but we make our
appeal for the poor timid little woman
who takes up this occupation as the only
thing open to her, and who in her
shrinking way endeavors to impress
you with the value of her offerings.
Do not be too hard on the next one
that calls upon you; if you cannot buy,
at least be kind, for in the life of these
women consideration is an almost I'M
known factor, and means more to them
than you in the shelter of your own
home with the world smiling upon you
can ever know.-Philadelphia Times.

Sends all my shivering blood
Back on my heart in thrills of ecstacy!

And to dream that thou art near me is to

On earth besides, and every tender tie
Which seems to hold in thrall
This weary life of mine may be a lie.
But true as Gods own truth
My steadfast heart turns backward ever

To that sweet time of youth
Whose golden tide beats such barren shore.
Inconstantl Not my own

our lives;
On its cold shadow, grown
To perfect shape, the flower of love survives.
God knows that would s...e
All other joys, the sweetest and the best,
For one short hour to live
Close to thy heart, its comfort and its rest.
But life is not all dark.
The sunlight goldens many a hidden slope.
The dove shall find Its ark
OF peaceful refuge and Of patient hope.
And should another's head
Sleep on thy heart, and it should ever seem
To be my own instead
Oh, darlingi bold it closer for the dream.

gaze across the rippling, shining bay,
And watch the distant boats with eager eye.
l wonder why the sails so far away
Are whittier than the sails see near by
Far out, the water glstens In the sun,
With dazzling beauty, as the daylight dies;
The water near the shore is dull and dark,
So full Of shadows and Of sad, drowned eyes,
This is life's story from the first to last.
sTis far off things for which we ever pray.
The beauty that lies round us we see not,
But gaze with loving eyes across the bay.

A smart young man in Walla Walla,
Wash, started out to have some fun by
soaring two young women who were to
return homeward through a wooded
stretch of road after visiting friends in
the evening. He put on buffalo robe
and started out to play bear. The girls
attacked the supposed bear with heavy
stones and then thumped it with clubs
before the young man squealed. He was
SO badly bruised that he could hardly

Nay, never falter; no great deed is done
By falterers who ask for certainty.
No good is certain but the steadfast mind,
The undivided will to seek the good;
sTis that compels the elehents and wrings
A human music from the indifferent air.
The greatest gift the hero leaves his race
Is to have been hero. Say we fail!
We feed the high tradition of the world,
And leave our spirit in our children's breasts.
