DEVICES FOR OLD STRAWS.

You Need One of These Designs.
Is there anything more useless or forlorn
and ridiculous than an old hat? Age les

til period is reached when another gener-
alton with wondering eyes regards 1t with
interest as relic of antiquity, if not with
veneration. From the constant variation
of styles there results an accommodating
variety of castoff headgear, articles that
have lost little merit in their short lives
except the favor which originated them.
There are ways of using the materials of
many winter hats of both men and women
besides adding to the comfort of others by
quiet, well chosen gifts, but for summer
straws, which are generally more bulky
for storing and easily damaged when
packed away, there seems little chance of
removing their often grotesque forms en-
tirely from sight without sacrificing them
to the flames, for even a tramp would
sneer at the offer of straw hat when
autumn winds are threatening.
Perhaps some way can be found for the
destruction of the ugly form and the
fashioning of it's often beautiful material

If plain straws are used, rip them up and

THE MARBLEHEAD BOATMEN.
A Man Who Was Looking for u New Eng
lander Tells How He Found Him.


A man with skin the color of mahogany
and bare arms and neck in which the mus
cles stood out like twisted hickory was
rowing me in dory across the narrow har-
Dor of Marblehead. He had little gold
rings in his ears and tuft OF coarse gray
hair stuck out horizontally on his chin. It
was just at sunset, and the waveworn
rock inclosing the harbor, the old man, the
dory and the old town silhoueted In black
against the crimson sky looked extremely
picturesque. The harbor was crowded
with yachts, for the New York Yacht club
fleet was there on a visit, and naphtha
launches pulling boats and sailboats wore
shooting all about the harbor In the hall
light fading from the sea and the stern
land.
"Gollyl" said the boatman as a launch
shot by nearly running into the dory, "I've
been good many years about this harbor
and don't want an accident at my time OF
life."
"How old are you, captainf" asked.
knew it was safe to call him captain.
WELL" was the reply in the peculiar
dialect of "down east,"'I am seventy-two
years old. Never had days sickness till
last year. Then was hauled out for two
weeks with the grip. My father was 105
when he died, and my mother lived to be
ninety-four." All the time there was run

'Ere's Flo'd Ireson for his hord, hord heart,

Here at last had found an old time
New Englander whose maternal ancestor
might have been one Of those same women
of Marblehead who gave Skipper Ireson
his unwelcome ride.
"Are there any Iresons living here
abouts" asked.
"Well, there be some Iresons in town.
but they amt descendants. Same family
they claim, but 'taint no descendants.
Then the old man got excited and rested
on his oars while his right hand vigorously
thumped the gunwale of the dory.
THAT was the goll derndest outrage
that ever was," he blurted out. "Ireson
wern't no more guilty than you be this

shore. Some relation of the unfortunate

The Repairs Were Made.

The Rev. Mr.. Adams of Leominster
was an eccentric character and had
no hesitation in speaking his mind, eli
ther to congregation or to individuals.
He was about to exchange with neigh
boring minister, mild and inoffensive
man, who knew the bluntness of his
disposition and said to him in advance:
"You will find some panes of glass
broken in the pulpit window, and pos
sibly you may suffer from the cold.
The cushion, too, Is in bad condition,
but beg of you not to say anything to
my people about it. They are poor and
disinclined to think of REPAIRS"
Before Mr.. Adams left home that
Sunday morning he filled a bag with
rags and took it with him. When he
had been in the pulpit few minutes
the draft began to make itself felt,
and he deliberately took a handful Of
rags from his bag and stuffed them into
the window. The sermon dwelt upon
the duties of congregations toward their
ministers, and he soon became very an
imated, and brought down both fists
with tremendous force upon the pulpit
cushion. The feathers scattered in ev-
cry direction, but pausing only to ex-
claim, why, how these feathers fy!"
he proceeded with his discourse.
He had fulfilled his brother minis
ter's request Of not addressing the con-
gregation directly on the subject, but
all the same he had effected his point.
Next Sunday the window and cushions
were found to be in excellent repair
