Lovers Still.

His hair as wintry snow is white:
Her trembling steps are slow;
His eyes have lost their merry light:
Her cheeks, their rosy glow
Her hair has not it's tints OF gold,
His voice. no joyous thrill
And yet. though feeble, gray and old,
They're faithful lovers still
Since they were wed, on lawn and lea ..
OFT did the daisies blow,
And oft across the trackleSs sea
Did swallows come and go;
OFT we're the forest branches bare,
And oft, in gold arrayed
OFT aid the lilies scent the dir,
The roses bloom and fade.
They had their hare of hopes and fears
Their share Of bliss and bale;
Since first he whispered in her ears
A lovers tender tale:
Full many thorn amid the flowers
Has lain upon their way
THEY'VE had their dull November hours
AS well as days Of May.
But firm and true, through veal and woe,
Through change Of time and scene,
Through winters gloom, through summers
glow,
Their faith and love have been;
Together hand in hand they pass,
Serenely down life's HILL
In hopes one grave in churchyard grass
May hold them lovers still

Attracts Attention.

There are three things that attract
the notice of a traveller from the
States when he has got into Canada,
to say nothing OF the general dull
ness that prevades that province. One
is the disappearance of window blinds
and baroness OF the house fronts.
The other is the presence of militia
men and policemen, who are as near
ly copies as may be of the English
militia and London 'bobbies." The
third is the impossibility of getting
your shoes blacked, except in the
wash rooms of the hotels. One pays
10 cents for a shave. and New York
artist who did his work 50 shabbily

United Counsel Meeker, OF Brad

grapes are not well received in Great
Britain, because those able TO INDULGE
In ne luxury OF such fruit are accus-
toned to native greenhouse grapes.
DIR. Meeker believes, however, that
many American fruits could be sue
cesstully exported to Great Britain if
due regard were paid at the time of
picking to the time that must elapse
before such fruit could be placed upon
the market. He instances watermel-
ons as an American product that

ching that operates against the sale of

A Southern Lady Aberdeen.

Miss Taylor is doing substantially
for the Southern states OF the union
what the countess dl Brazza and Lady

to newspaper fame or general inter-

usual aptitude but no trainiEy for
such employment Miss Taylor raises
money to perfect her as needle
woman.
Miss Taylor is a sweet faced wo-
man, still young, but with soft, gray
hair, who would be very much sur
prised il you told her she had done
great work in providing a genteel,
beautiful employment for hundreds
of women.
She flies about among her friends,
happy and busy with her WORK. and
her rooms-which are called "The
Distaff''-are piled with letters, linen,
and silks, that are to 60 into the
South ern country, to come back
covering for millionaire's babies or
some millionaire's dinner table.
1t Is the Mems Turn Now.
Women are always being told how
they sh ould behave when the man of
the house comes home; they are ad-
vised to be cheerful and we'll dressed,
no matter how tired they feel, and in
all ways to make the home coming
bright and pleasing, putting annoy
ances out of sight and presenting to
the view of the lord and master only
the best side, when in reality there
has been much to vex and worry, and
which if told to a sympathizing hus-
band or father would not seem half
SO burdensome.
This advice is hackneyed, and sell
dom, if ever, is there a word said
about the behavior of the self-same
men, whom women are supposed to
please even at the expense of their
| own feelings How many men, even
though they find their wives looking
sweet and pretty to welcome them,
ever tell them so? They take the
good looks, the pleasant smile, and
the womanly courtesy as their right
and never think that it would please
their life partners to have some pleas
ant little complimentary speech made
to them, as in the olden days before
my lord, the head of the house, was
quite so sure of them.
Then again, woman is told to keep
herself we'll informed so that she may
be able 70 enter into mental compan-
! ionship with her husband. Some
men, perhaps, do sit up and talk or
keep awake long enough to read
aloud few chapters of some widely
discussed novel, but too many find it
impossible for them to keep awake
when once the comfortable slippers
and lounging jackets are donned. In
many families the representative
evening is the one during which the
husband dozes on the couch and the
wife reads or sews in undisturbed and
maddening silence.
A man will argue in refutation of
these estimates that the wage Garner
is tired and needs rest. Granted that
he does, then let him he just and not
expect too much from the wife, whose
day is far mo re wearing and vexatious
than his own. If he likes to see his
wife dressed up let him pay particu-
lar attention to the niceties of his
own toilet. If he expects her to be
we'll info rmed let him prove himself
to be companion who can talk and
help her by pleasant interchange OF
thought. 1t isn't fair to demand sc
mu CHI in woman and pass over such
| glazing defects in a man.

Something New.
At portrait party the guests, in
costume, stand one by one behind a
large frame and make pictures of
themselves for the benefit of their
friends. AS when the pictures are
shown only the upper part of the body
Is visible, the head, or to the waist,
according to the size of the frame,
the guests may prefer to wear their
ordinary clothes to your house and to
put on there whatever they need for
the representation. This will be the
best way If you wish to make the
preparations for your evenings
amusement easy for all concerned.
1t you follow the other plan and ask
each participant to assume complete
costume, after the pictures have
been shown, you have fancy dress
party, and so the enjoyment is
heightened. Whichever course YOU
decide upon it is not necessary for
anybody to go to the costumers for
dresses. Charming effects can be pro-
duced with very simple materials.
Hold yourself ready to give advice as
to the characters to be chosen and as
to the manner in which they are to be
represented. Your friends may per-
senate historical figures, characters
from poems or novels, copy we'll
known pictures, or even, if they can
think of nothing better, contrive a
picturesque aad becoming attire, and
call themselves what they will. Don't
attempt anything very elaborate A
simple thing artistically done is much
more effective than an ambitious
failure. You, or whoever is made
adviser IN chief for the occasion, will
know before hand nearly ali the cos
tunes which are to appear. But it is
better that the different performers
should not know what the others are
to represent. Then they can enjoy
seeing as we'll as being seen.
TO show the picture properly you
need a large room and large empty
picture frame. Your own taste and
arrangement Of your rooms will
decide the position of the frame. Do
not place it too near the spectators.
There should be space for small
dressing room behind, and heavy cur
tains should be hung on each side and
one in front which can be swung back
and forth. As screens can be used at
the sides and in front you would bet
ter arrange some richly colored ma
terial behind the frame as back
ground for the figures 1t may be
we'll to have several such backgrounds
on hand, for different costumes will
require different colors to bring them
out.
When the evening comes ask some
artistic person of experience to super
intend the exhibition. He or she
will give the last touches to the cos
tunes and make suggestions as to the
pose of the figures. It is not bad
plan to have pile Of bright colored
fabrics in the dressing-room. With
these your quick witted helper can
improvise stunning effects for those
who have prepared nothing them
selves.
If the frame is wide enough to al
low it some tableaux with two figures
may be introduced.
Then, if the lights are properly ar
ranged and the seats for the specta-
tors are placed so that they can see
all ought to enjoy themselves.

Aluminium has the property, when

sannot be removed by rubbing or

Henry Mueller Commits Suicide Tues
day Afternoon.
The body of Henry Mueller. an old
and welI-known resident, was found
hanging from door in his room yes
terday afternoon shortly after l o clock,
He had attached one end of a strap to
the top of the door and the other end
about his neck, and then had no doubt
swung himself from a chair into etern-
ity. The deed was committedsonly a
short time before the discovery Of the
body. A coroner's jury was empan-
eled by Justice Stacy to view the re-
mains, and this morning held an in
quest, at which verdict in accordance
with the facts as above stated was rem
dered.
Mr.. Mueller was an unmarried man
and made his home with his sisterin
law, Mrs. Wilhelmina Mueller. at POI
West Cady street. He had lived in
the city for forty years, coming here
from Berlin, Germany. His age was
73 years. When the rebellion broke
out Mr.. Mueller enlisted, serving both
in the ranks and as a hospital nurse.
To his friends he was known for his
true patriotism. and be always delight
ed to relate incidents of the war he
was member of the Q. d. Pease post,
q. A. R. From boyhood Mr. Mueller
had never enjoyed robust health, aid
the last two years his physical condi
ton was particularly infrm, causing
him much suffering and to often wish
his lies journey might be over. This
is the only cause that can be assigned
for the suicide. Mr.. Mueller had al
ways been much respected here and
his sad ending caused many regrets
among his neigh hbors and friends.

rootball at the Northwestern.

The football team of the Northwest
ern university has been organized for
the seasons play and is made up as
follows: Halfmapn, left end; Kronitz,
left tackle; Michaels left guard; Mark
worth, center; Ritz, right guard; Excl
mann, right tackle; Kaspe1, right end !;
Ernst, quarter back; Schultze, left
half back; Friedrich, right half back;
Kraft (captaln), full back. Besides
the regular team there are the follow
ing 'tsubs:" Law and Haase, guards;
Eneel and Guenther, ends; Bergholz,
Martin, Hoermann and Berg, backs.
The eleven devotes portion of each
day to hard practice, and on every
Monday Wednesday and Saturday lines
up against the second eleven. The team
is quite heavy one, the average of
the line being 1853 pounds. Clever in
reference is one of the strong points
of the team's playing and when ground
is to be gained end plays are always
worked. The Northwesterns have
challenges from Delafeld, Pewaukee,
Marquette college, Whitewater Normal
school, Lawrence university, Carroll
college and juneau High school, but
owing to the faculty's objection to
games awaY~from home most of the
challenges must be declined A Thanks
giving day game on the home grounds,
however, is assured, with Marquette
college as the opposing team. The
White water Normal game, which was
to have occurred last Saturday, will no
doubt be played here November l6. 1t
is not expected that game will be ar
ranged this year With the Sacred Heart
team. The Northwestern students are
quite enthusiastic over their 1895
eleven, and they, as well as lovers of
football in the city, hope the faculty
will not withdraw it's permission to
play home games.
