A Tribute To- n Wife.

The following comprehensive inscrip-
ton recording the virtues Of an an
Client countess of Westmoreland and
written by her husband was formerly TO
be seeen in a large room at Budstone
place in the county of Kent, once a
seat belonging to that noble family. 1t
is a portrait more beautiful than any
of the elegant productions Of Kneller
or Reynolds and would ornament with
a peculiar grace a lady's dressing room,
thus inspiring the owner TO emulate so
exquisite a model.
Says the memorial in the quaint style
Of another century: ''Shee feared God
and knewe how to serve him: She as
syned tymes for her devotions and
kept them: Shee was a perfect Wife
and trewe Frende: Shee jOyed moste
to oblidge those neerest and deerest to
her: Shee was still the same ever kynde
and never troublesome: Often preven-
tying my DESIRES: Disputing none: Pro-
ventilie monaging all that was myne:
Lyvinge in Appearance above myne es-
tate while she advanced il; Shee was
of CRETE spirit; sweettie tempered: OF a
sharp wit without offence; Of excellent
speeche blest with silence; Of a brave
Fashion to WHINE respect and to daunt
Boldness: pleesynge 70 ale of her sex,
entyre with Fewe, delytinge in the best;
ever avoyding all persons and places
in their honor blemyshed and was as
free from doing lille as giving the oc-
casion: Shee dyed as she lyvsd-well."

OUT OF DOOR Stretching.
An Easy Lesson at the Best Season
for Beginners.

Few amateurs take up the study of
painting without the idea of eventually
sketching in the open air The late
summer and autumn is the best time TO
work, as the scenery is then more varied
IMAM earlier in the year. A gray day
is preferable for the beginner to a sunny
one, objects being much more distinct
than if obscured by a heat mist.
If when sketching you intend to give
your whole mind to the work, and IL
time is of value to you, do not set out
with poor material. A cheap, shaky
easel should be avoided. Do not have a
three-legged stool. as it cramps the limbs.
beside interfering with your rising to
step back from your picture as frequent
ly as desirable, thing which students
are apt to forget.
The wish to put detail into any part
OF tree or foreground often confuses a
beginner A small brush may be used.
but the color must not be applied IN dots
and spots or the result will be weak and
without forLl or color. Variety of color
and form is essential in all detail work.
Unless you are a hrst-rate craftsman,
familiar with the theory of composition,
avoid trying to improve on nature. Do
not be too anxious TO choose an easy sub
Ject for landscape work, as you therefore
betray lack Of talent and self-reliance.
picture should never look labored. II
II be overworked it Will have a heavy,
lifeless appearance.
1t is wrong TO say that we paint things
as we see them. Did we do so we should
have to compete with nature. Flat and
simple parts may be rendered realistic
ally. but no painter can model the larger
forms with equal force; therefore all the
lesser details must harmonic with the
larger. Details may enliven, but they
do not produce a graceful picture.
The choice of material often puzzles
the beginner. To begin, the Art ANA
teur, authority for the foregoing useful
items, advises that water colors are in
finitely better suited for sketching than
oils. If for no other reason. they should
be used on account Of the facility with
which the sketches can be carried and
also because so much paraphernalia Is
not necessary. Whitman sketching
block, a water bottle with a tin cup, a
box of cOlors, a pencil and few brushes
is all that is absolutely necessary. An
easel and stool can perfectly we'll be
done without If the student does not
wish to be burdened with them.

perception of woman transcends the pre-

Never have I met the woman who

She is great because she is conscious

She does not waste her nervous

This fact, am aware, has been charged
to her discredit; but. in my humble mas

Good-By.

GoOd-By.
Good-by-tis but a little word
But oh. how cherries and sadi
It's full of meaning. full of woe.
To both the good and bad.
1his word will cause us many a tear.
And many a heartfelt pang.
AS we breathe the solemn word-'good
by"
While clouds of despair round us hang.
We often meet with loving friends
Whom we rejoice TO see.
And for time we're lost in bliss;
From care and sorrow free.
But alasi before we are aware,
With heartache and a sigh,
We realize the time has come
When we must say-"gOod-by."
We oft see loving mother
Rearing her cherished boy,
A son whom she would die to save,
A mothers pride and joy.
She teaches him from the cradle. up
To be honest brave and true,
And prays to God that he may not
His mothers teachings rue.
But when he grows to manhood.
He tires of home and toll
He desires to leave his native land
And seek some other soil.
It's then he breaks his mothers heart,
He hears her wall and cry,
He feels her last, long lingering kiss
God bless you-and-good-by."
And thus il is with the parent,
The sweetheart, husband, or wife,
Each must prepare to say 'good-by"
At some time in his life.
Each must know that bitter pain
That has severed many a tie;
zach must know the meaning
OF that little word-"good-by."
But then, dear friends, there'll be a time
When all to whom life is given,
Must say good-by to earthly joys
And go to rest in heaven.
And when before Gods mercy seat

Grnndfather,s Advice

Come sit by my side. dear grandchild."
Said a grandsire with s:lvery hair;
He spoke TO a promising, merry girl,
A maiden charmingly fair.
You are now blooming young maiden"
he said
''The belle of society. 1 hear
And wish to give you bit OF advice,
Or twill be too late, l fear.
you know, my dear girl. in the social
world
There is always a happy. gay throng,
And you apt to be led before you're
aware,
Into the vile. evil paths OF wrong.
You are now beautiful and fair to behold,
But your hopes will often be rift,
And you will find as older you grow
That beauty is dangerous gift L.
II once knew a beautiful maiden,
AS fair and pure as thee,
But she was led from the path of recti-
tude,
AS you are apt TO be.
She was like you, society belle,
Enjoying life's sweet spring
And stealing the hearts of young rustics,
Quite ignorant of the grief it would
bring.
she had many anxious suitors,
Among whom was jealous youth
Who strove to ruin her faultless life
OF virtue. love and truth.
His ways were pleasing, his words were
sweet,
But deep laid were his plans,
And the trusting maiden fearing naught.
Surrendered herself INTO his hands.
"she needed not the advice of her friends.
Who saw the danger ahead,
But she thought him true, and by his
ways
Was willing to be led.
She gave him her hand and her pure
heart,
And thinking all was well.
And following where he led her,
This trusting maiden-fell.
'Ah, sad was the day when she found
herself
Deserted and alone.
When she reaped the bitter, bitter fruit
OF seeds by others sown.
She was never again her fair young self,
, Nor did she again society crave,
But, like many another hopeful one,
Was dragged down to-the grave.
SO take the advice of your grandsire.
dear child,
While your soul is spotess and pure;
Be not led astray by hattering tongues
And you'll have less pain to endure.
Remember this, child, now while you are
young
Though you now in society reign),
That the bird with the broken pinion
Never flies so high again
Peach Blossom" l admire your rever-
ence for the club. Send us your pioneer
poem by all means and ii will be read
at least by your faithful H. L. c. sister.

Summer in the SOul.
The old man sat by the freside,
Cosy, serene and warm,
Unheeding the rage of the tempest,

The summers radiant bloom,
The ripping sound of the silver brook,
Lie hid in their icy tomb.
But he sits in the warmth by the fire

With a heart to its memories true,
And warm and fair the pictures
That winters eve he drew.
While the wind in its angry sweep,
Seemed the rustic of the leaves
With the chipping notes of the swal-

In their nests beneath the caves.
And we wish as we hear him murmur
OF butterflies, birds and flowers
That this land of beautiful. happy

And summer bloom was ours

The Murder.

Scene: In an indianapolis hotel, June
9. 1891
He lay upon his lowly bed
In agony completes:
He pressed his hand upon his head.
While frienzied thoughts with swiftness
sped,
And there he dreamed of daggers red.
Ne'er mentioned in defeat.
For well he knew that ere the morn
Awoke the smiling day,
And dried the dewdrops on the corn,
That he so sinful and forlorn,
Must slay q Misunderstanding form
For he was born to STAY
Thus wicked thoughts sped through his
brain,
AS he lay on his bed,
But soon, he full of grief and pain,
Arose from where he long had lain,
And paced the floor, while a ghostly train
OF haunts behind him sped.
His conscience warned him Ger and Ger,
But yet he did not heed;
The ghostly phantoms fed before
And danced upon the oaken floor,
And ere the sun smiled through the door,
Wrought, wrought was the foul deed.
With eyes ablaze he neared the bed.
His heart was full of pain
The haunts in circles round him sped.
He drew his knife with painful dread,
And ere the morning sun was red,
A bed-bug had been slain.

Would learn to hate it and abhor IL;
If men relied
On love to guide,
The world would be the better for II.
II men dealt less in stocks and lands.
And more I'm bonds and deeds fraternal;
If loves work had more willing hands
To link this world with the eternal;
II men stored up loves oil and wine,
And on bruised human hearts would pour

The world would be the better for IL.

HE KILLED HIS SISTER.
sorrOwfuI Domestic Tragedy Near
BatesvilIe.

BATESVILLE, Aug. 1S.-Special.-
Miss Louise Schrader, the twenty-three-
year-old daughter of John Schrader, who
lives four miles south Of Batesville, was
shot and instantly killed by her brother
William, at 8 o'clock this afternoon.
The young man picked up a revolver
which he had cleaned and polished on
Saturday, and was displaying it to
his sister. She said to him:
"Will. you should be careful how you
handle it,
whereupon he pointed the weapon at
her, saying:
Look, sister, I'll shoot you"
AT the same time he pulled the trigger
and to his establishment and sorrow
there was a report and his sister fell
with a ball in her brain.
Death resulted instantly.
Herman Siebert, at whose house the
accident occurred, had seen a chicken
hawk in a tree near the house few
hours previously and had loaded the
revolver unbeknown to young Schrader
and shot at the hawk. He laid the
weapon in its customary place and
Schrader did not know it was loaded.
Miss Schrader had been working in
Indianapolis for some time and was at
home on a visit.
