AS to the causes of rheumatism, but there Is no
difference of opinion among them as to the dan

Fairly Caught.

While in Maine last summerI heard
good story that was new to me and may
nave never appeared in print. In the old
days of wild bee hunters Zeke Trask was
among the most successful in capturing
the hiveless swarms, and even after his
keen eyesight began to fail he was won't to
boast of his ability to follow toll bee"
in it's fight A toll bee is one that has
been captured and placed in a little glass
box with some honey AS soon as he gets
his load the lid Of the box is opened and
the bee allowed to fly away. whereupon it
makes ''bee line'' for it's home and the
hunter knows which direction to take to
find the wild swarm.
Zeke had Dragged about the keenness of
his eyes until those who knew he was slow
ly but surely growing nearsi> ,lited were
disguised and resolved to trap him. Jim
Onslow, keen old fellow, arranged the
plan, and it worked to a charm. One day
Jim pretended he wanted Zeke to watch a
bee for him, and although the boaster tried
to get out of it Onslow would not accept
any excuses. Quite party gathered to wit
ness the affair, knowing there was some
kind of joke at the bottom of it.
When everything was ready, old Jim
said:
Watch him sharp, Zeke. Don't let him
slip ye. Nowl'' And he snapped the cover
of the box wide open, having first showed
Zeke the bee inside.
In moment Zeke began whirling round
and round, as if he was following the circle
the bee made in order to get it's bearings be-
fore starting for home. The old fraud kept
pointing with his. finger and saying:
'sThere he goes-there he goes-right
there, there. there" Then, all at once, he
paused and began pointing straight ahead,
all the while declaring He's goin toward
Dave Shows cider mill. He's crossed the
Exeter road--see? He's gone over the cider
mill-over the pond''-the pond was two
miles away. lover Benson's woods"-
three miles away "Over the Newport line"
-four miles. Right slap into Hickett's
timber. You'll find the swarm there, sar-
tim" Hickett's timber was more than i've
miles from the spot where they were stand
ing.
When Zeke had finished. Onslow OBJ
| served:
"Well, / swami Your eyes ara monster
keen, neighbor"
That pleased the old rascal, but he pre-
tended to be modest, and he replied:
''They do pretty well-pretty well, but
don't think they reach out quite like they
did once"
"Well, they're monster sharp to see bee
travel so fur when the bee hain't started at
ALL" Then he showed Zeke the open glass
box with the bee still in it. The owner of
the sharp eyes gave gasp of astonishment
| as he asked:
"Whut's the matter with your blamed
| old bee anyhow"
And Onslow answered, "Oh, northin.
only it's dead" WILLIAM 6. PATTEN.

quets and orange blossoms just the
same. Elegant simplicity marks the two
bridal gowns just received from abroad
for two sisters who are to be welded the
same day. The dresses are exactly alike,
so in giving the description of one the
other is seen by the clever girl, whose
imagination is of average caliber.
These were of heavy satin duchesse,
made with quite long trains, cut quite
plain, bnt with graceful sweep. Be-
meath the hem there is a kilt plating of
the same silk, which barely shows, but
which gives finish to it. The sleeves have
puffs of silk muslin, and the yoke is Of
the same, finely plated. The rest of the
,corsage is of satin duchesse, while the
pointed belt and bordering on the yoke
is of fine pearl passementerie. The veil
is of tulle, with deep hem, and falls
backward. In the hand is white lace
basket filled with flowers, and this is
held in the netting made of tulle, tied
with white satin ribbon. There is lit
tie diadem Of orange blossoms held with
a stiff bow of white satin ribbon.
The next most important person in the
ceremony is the bridesmaid. She can
wear what she likes, and she generally
likes to have it be something very pretty.
A handsome dress for bridesmaid.
which could afterward be worn for a
demisaison gown, is one of mauve crepe
de chine, the skirt and waist both accor-
dion plated. The upper part of the
skirt is cut to fit the figure closely, for
about 20 inches downward from the belt.
The accordion founce joins there, and
there is wide piece of cream Spanish
lace, both edges scalloped, laid on over
the joining and sewn in scallops. The
belt is arranged in the same manner.
There are caps over the pulled sleeves
edged with the lace, and a pointed collar
is simulated A bit of a toque is worn
witt, it Of lace and green leaves up
standing in the front. A hat would be
proper also, if preferred, but if the we'd
ding is in church the bonnet is better.
If at home no head covering is worn.
Among the new trifes that are takiaS
the place of more important things for
the moment in feminine heads that do
not want to simmer in hot stores just
now are numbers of foulard vest fronts.
These are made full and pretty of differ
emit colored silks in foulard patterns.
They have turn down collars with knife
plated ruf1es. They are pretty adjuncts
to plain wooden toilets and find their
chief use in the suits where jackets are
worn, and they fill in that wide hiatus
across the chest.
Today saw very nice home dress
for mourning. The dress was of luster-
less india silk, all black. The skirt was
gathered full at the waist and hung in
free folds to the bottom, where there
was a five inch Grape rufle, headed with
narrow puff of the silk. The waist
had the upper part of Grape and the low
er of silk joined with a narrow puff. At
the neck there was double ruff of silk.
The sleeves were double puffs of Grape,
with a puff between of the silk.

Of purple peaks that rise against the sky.
But their strength will not hold out to

desert of DOOM On all sides are sand and
cacti, the horrid ereasewood and bleaching
bones of animals and men. There are por-
lions of the desert where even the cactus
has not the boldness to penetrate. Across
the accursed plain sweeps WIND that seems
to come direct from the mouth OF a fur
mace In its teeth it carries fine PARTICLES of
sand that cut and sting when they touch
The flesh. At times it whirls the sand into
eddies and columns that waltz and gyrate
over the desert like grotesque and mon
strous things of life.
The fires of madness burn in tbs brains
of the miserable wretches who are making
one last, fierce struggle for life. They lift
their hands to heaven and try to shrek or
curse, but only munbled groans come from
their bullying lips. Sometimes they STUN

They begin. to see horrible visions. Red
lizards and bright green snakes play about

Then the fallen man sinks PROSTATE on his

Through the swirling sand clouds the
survivor sees some stunted trees, and he
suddenly comes on a break in the desert-a

gers down where few brown pecans and

Then he thinks of his comrade who has
