WEAVING.

We are weaving every day. as we pass along
our way,
Intent upon our busy work or Just as busy
play,
Beneath the casual gaze of men, the angels
steady eyes.
tn Robes of Resurrection in which we shan
arise.
When the trumpet's thrilling call upon our
ears shall fall,
And our dust shall throb and CULVER, and its
vanished life recall.
When each hurrying atom seeks its own,
though distance disallow,
We shall wear the Resurrection Robes that we
are weaving now.
Then the threads we sadly spun, and in dark
ness one by one
Wove in the fabric, wishing that the long, hard
task was done,
Shall CLEAN and glimmer as q mist of lovely
rose and blue,
And the blacker threads OF sorrow shall be
made lovely too.
The glimmering glirts of gold from a patience
manifold
Shall make a pattern sweet and strange, and
beauteous to behold;
And the white of purity shall shine, the tear
spots fade away,
AS we don our Resurrection Robes upon that
last great day.
o King of Joy and pain. let US not weave in
vain
Touch Thou the fabric Of our lives and make
them fair amain,
That, when our task is finished, within the
Heavenly place.
Clad in our Robes OF Righteousness, we may
behold Thy face.

knife and resumed her place of safety.
Mr.. Wigglesworth glared at the blunt
pointed weapon for a moment and then
made a pass at the rabbit. The knife
caught in the loose skin. slipped. de-
scribed a swift circle and wrote it's
autograph on the back of Mr.. Wiggles-
worth's hand.
That's a darling knife to skin a rab-
bit with, amt it?" he yelled, throwing
it OF the floor and stamping on it,
while Mrs. Wigglesworth turned pale
and gasped at the sight of blood.
"Shan't l get a handkerchief and tie
it up" she asked.
Mr.. Wigglesworth refused to hear
her. Going down into his pocket he
came up with a knife of his own,
opened its biggest blade, and bounced
upon the helpless rabbit. Grasping it
firmly in his left hand he put the blade
under the skin and tore off two quarts
of white hair. Then the rabbit slipped
off the chOpping-block and Mr.. Wig
ellsworth went I'VE with it. He was
holding his tongue between his teeth
at the time.
why don't We come down here and
help out 4 ~little?' he shouted, soou as
he could Chamber out of the sawdust
and unlimber his aching tongue.

have your name spelled wrong in the

hold onto one end of this thing and I'll
snake the skin off'n him so quick that
his w mother wouldn't recognize
him.
Mrs. Wigglesworth descended from
the box, her kness lettering.
Don't be scarf" cried her husband.
as she hesitatingly took hold of the
rabbits hind legs, and shut her eyes
tight; hes dead, and anyway I've got
hold of the end he bites with. Now
you hold steady" he continued: while
! make a circle round his hide and
we'll peel her off like a glove"
Mrs. Wigglesworth, with a little sob,
gripped the legs more firmly, and gave
a mighty pull. Her husband hadn't
yet got his bearings, so that the knife,
failing Of its direction, made a fiendish
swoop and cut a long cash down the
knee of hat g~entleman's new spring
trousers. With a yell he dropped the
knife and fell over on the chopping-
block, while the rabbit with lightning
rapidity doubled out of his skin and
left it limp and dangling in Mrs. Wig
glesworth's tenacious grasp.
Did it hurt you?" she gasped, as
her husband kicked his legs up over
the chopping-block in mad efforts to
get on his feet.
''Oh, no, it didn't hurt me-" he
screamed, struggling upwards, moth

The club kicker came rushing l n to the

me about my health, all the time tell

The woman with a taste for dress
says: "Brunettes are always mistak-
ing their color. The prejudice in
favor of clothing them all in red has
spoiled lots of pretty m Red does
suit some brunettes, usually the clear,
pale ones, but yellow suits a great
many more, and pale blue is often
charming for them. The fact is, peo-
pie are far too much influenced by the
names of colors. No name tells exact
ly what a color is, and the subleties
that can't be made into words ere
exactly what make the diff
ference in ~actuality. Women who
dress well, or the great pro-
fessional artists in dress, go by
nothing but the actual trial of color
and complexion together. 1t is the
same way about putting colors togeth-
err. The woman is lost who has little
rules about blue and pink going to-
gether, or green and violet not going
together; everything depends on
shades. You've got to put them to
gether and see, and then if you can't
see. if you have no eye for color. get
some one to see for you. A great deal
can be learned by noting what nature
does. She puts green and flame to-
gether in nasturtiums, but see what a
delicate gray green!"-Cincinnati En-

Then Mr.. Wigglesworth noticed the
skinned body of the rabbit which he
unconsciously held in his hand.

at arms length, 1.-The great North
American rabbit skinner" and he
smote the side of the shed with it; I'm

United. He was talking to himself
1t was thought that he was drunk and
no attention was paid to him.
The theory held by Florence people
is that Strongue had wronged some
body years ago and that he had been
followed relentlesslv until the bullet
IN the dark ended his life. He had
never mentioned any relatives except
a brother, but nobody knows where
he is. Once Strongue was asked why
he did not write to his brother, as he
had never been known to receive a let
ter or send one. He replied harshly, II

murder for revenge. A large number
