Whenever see tree in the embrace
Of a poison ivy, I take my knife and Ont
the vine. On the grounds Of a few
friends and on my own have cut vines
from ~ to21S inches thick, sometimes
at the root and sometimes as far up as I
could reach, and then tearing down the
stems have uprooted them with my
hands, / have done this at all seasons,
and when my hands were torn by black
berry thorns, but I never had a trace Of
poisoning. A friend to whom men,
toned my immunity said, 'Of course
you are not poisoned, because you are
dark. Since then I have been thinking
that in the cases Of poisoning which had
come to my knowledge the victims had
been light haired. A younger brother Of
mine, who is very fair, has been So
verely poisoned.

GENERAL NILES BOYHOOD.
Loved Fishing and Was the Leader OF an
sIndian" Band.

Loved rishing hnd was the Leauer OF An
sIndian" Band.
When General Miles was boy, he
had few companions near his nome, for
it was farming region and sparsely
settled. His only brother, IL years older
than himself, left home early, and his
two sisters being much older Nelson
was left much to himself.
On Saturdays and other holidays the
schoolboys frequently met by appoint
ment at the home Of one of their num-
Der. They formed themselves into bands
and clans and drilled or carried ON min
iature warfare. They re. enacted scenes
Of the Indian and Revolutionary wars.
The leaders drew lots to settle who
should be "the British, "the Injins"
or "the 'Mericans.
Nelson Miles frequently led one band.
They made expeditions through the open
wooded country. Sometimes imagining
themselves rowing Indians, they built
wigwams, and sometimes as pioneer
settlers they built log huts. They laid
ambuscades, attacked strongholds, cap
tured parties and did many other ad
venturous things. Their costumes were
gathered from the farmhouse garrets

ly common in old New England fami-
lies-and limitations of the dress of the
Narragansett aud Iroquois Indians. The
weapons were old flint lock muskets,
shotguns, rusty swords, tomahawks and
bows and arrows
IL is easy to infer that the Miles boy
had military aspirations, and that the
promise of on appointment to West
Point when he should be Of the required
age would have been halted by him
with delight But farmers boy with
out relatives or friends with political
influence had no hopo of such an APP
pointment in those days, when cadet

WOMEN IN BRITISH POLITICS.
They Are Conducting n Three Cornered
Campaign For the Premiership.

They Are Conducting u Three Cornered
Campaign For the Premiership.
The influence of women In the high
places OF British politics has not been
conspicuous Ia this generation. This fact
adds interest TO the particularly warm
feminine campaign which has been
waged ever since Tery minds became
conviaesd Of the probability OF ON early
return of the Conservative party toPow-
er. The prize which the fair disputants
are struggling for is no less than the
premiership OF England. Three OF the
most brilliant women in Great Britain
are the leaders of rival hosts which with
in the higher circles of Tory society are
keenly pressing the claims OF their re-
spectivs champions.
These ladies are the Duchess Of Devon
SHIRE the Marcliioness of Salisbury
Miss Balfour. II is not an exaggeration
to say that the ambition for the party's
leadership of the three men whose names
these ladies bear has been allowed to
rest in their bands as far as seeking sup
port within the party is concerned. 1t
is no vulgar political canvass. but rival
ry none the less genuine ana lmportane
Those who know the three women credit
the Duchess of Devonshire with greater
skill and cleverness in political affairs
than her husband or indeed most of the
other party leaders, but most people
agree that her present task is beyond
her powers.
The situation most favors Miss Bal
four. The ardor with which she is
championing her brothers. cause is ex-
citing good deal Of admiration, albeit
she succeeded somewhat in offending
her aunt the Warehouses of Salisbury,
by the warmth Of her advocacy. 1t must
be admitted that Mr.. Balfour's follow
ing within ,he party is now consider
ably stronger than Lord Salisburys. -
