There was a little maid who had no BROTH
er 10 hunt rabbits for her, and, as her Wild
owed mother was too decreplt. she thought
she would try her own luck When out
one day the usual rainstorm blew up, and
she took refuge in the hollow OF tree.
While waiting for the storm to pass a big
demon, twenty feet high. and about half
that measure around the girth, came to
the tree and invited her out to supper
that is. she was to be the supper. AS he
was about to crawl into the hollow OF
the tree. she threw him her lunch, which
he swallowed. basket and all. Then she
handed out few rabbits she had killed,
and he SIN cried for more. She stripped
off her garments and he swallowed these.
lie now found that he was so swollen that
he could not enter the hollow. With his
AK he began 10 enlarge the opening in the
tree and now the little maid began TO cry
and call for her mother Three powerful
spirits. who conveniently happened to be
near heard the noise of the demons ak.
and hurried to the spot. They conquered
him in short order, held an autopsy on his
frame, and returned to the maiden her
clothing and rabbits. AS she could not
not marry them all, she thanked them
lever so much" They escorted her safely
home, and she told the story TO her anx-
ious mother. who weaved It into song,
and II has ever since lived in tradition,
and been sung by the braves at each re-
curing annual rabblt-hunt.

story about the fat girl which he thinks

The Birth of the Opal
The sunbeam loved the moonbeam,
And followed her low and high,
But the moonbeam fied and hid her head
She was so shy so shy.
The sunbeam woOed with passion.

And his heart was afire with a mad desire
For the moOnbeam pale and cold.
she Ned like a dream before him, g.
Her hair was a shining sheen;
And . that fate would annihilate
The space that lay between!
Just as the day lay painting
In the arms of the twilight dim.
The sunbeam caught the one he sought
And drew her close TO him.
And out of his warm arms startled,
And stirred by loves first shock,
She sprang, afraid, like a trembling maid,
And hid In a niche of rock
And the sunbeam followed and found her,
And led her to loves own feast;
And they were wed on that rocky bed,
And the dying day was their priest,
And 10, the beautiful opal,
That rare and wondrous gem,
Where the moon and sun blend into one,

had given she would buy a brooch. She
accordingly chose one, paid 10 francs for

Jeweler missed a diamond pin OF great
value from among those she had been

He accordingly stopped his customer,

The Jeweler sent his sister TO watch the
woman, who was seen TO enter another

make purchase when the organ grinder
made his appearance.
As soon as he began playing she again
threw him some money and ordered him
10 move on, but the person who was
watching her perceived that with the
money she had given the man a piece OF
jewelry.
This was at once made known 10 the
police, who arrested both, and found on
the man several articles of stolen jew
ery.

writer in The outlook, is to keep out OF

There are Indications says the New York
Tribune that the American woman is
gradually growing taller and larger A
few years ago the average skirt length
taken in the fashionable dressmaking es-
adjustments was forty-two inches, and
forty-two inches was the length used for
all the model gowns sent over here from
Paris. The model length has now increas-
ed TO forty-five inches, and the increase in
other measurements is in proportion.
The middle-aged American woman shows
an inclination to grow broader across the
hips and shoulders, and stouter and thick
er through the arms; but the college grad
uate, the university woman and the de-
butante grow more gracefully vigorous ev-
cry year The typical college graduate is
from two to four inches longer from the
waist down than formerly. Her waist
is getting longer, her chest fuller, and
her limbs narrower. The middle-aged wo-
men grow corpulent and clumsy through
Incidence and indulgent habits of life,
while the ever-increasing tendency toward
athletic sports and outdoor exercises is

What singular ideas on the subject of
feminine toilets, says the New York
Tribune, men did once have, to be sure
and how much they usually know about
the matter nowadays! This is amusingly
noticeable in current literature. Such
blunders were once not uncommon as that
made in Austin Elliott" by Henry Kings
ley, when he made his modest, quietly
dressed little heroine wear "a big dia-
mond clasp to her demure, Quaker-gray
cloak, in which she was wont to creep off
to weekday church services. Obviously
Mr. Kingsley had no notion that If a wo-
man possessed big diamond clasp" she
would not wear it in the street as well
as anywhere else. This ingnorance is
rather a relief to the man millinery Of

Mrs. Annie Besant's observations of wo-
men in India, during a recent visit to that
country, led her to think them very intelli-
gent, and while their standards and meth
DDS of education differ materially from
those in other countries, according to their
own estimate of learning, many of the wo-
men are highly educated, says the New
York Sun. Reading and writing are net
a part of their education, however as all
their knowledge is acquired from PUN

by this process of training the mind quick

entirely independent of books for refer

Indian women are peculiarly simple and
childish in character, yet very different
from Europeans of the same class. North
ern and Southern India, says Mrs. Besant,
are two distinct countries in all the laws
and customs which affect women. In the
north the "Purdah, is in fun power, and
the women look upon any publicity as an
outrage, while in the south their position
is quite different; yet men and women do
not meet freely in society. Mothers and
grandmothers have great influence and
authority in the family and home life
and in outside affairs as well, for an Indian
will not act IN a PUBIC matter against the
advice of either one. In Southern India very
young children are married. and if the in
FAINT husband dies, his youthful widow
can never marry again.

a woman has many pleasures and
much to be thankful for; cut, alas she
also has many pains.
A woman may not be the slave of
man, but where her affections are con-
cerned she is devoted to him, ard often
over taxes herself thereby.
A woman will often, without knowing
it, commit slow suicide for her children.
She will think, toll and shorten her life
in their behalf. Too often they do not
appreciate it.
A woman should not allow her color
to fade, her cheeks to become sail0w,
her strength to be lost She is designed
for attractiveness and happiness.
A woman need not allow any Of these
things to happen if she will only obey
the laws of health and use the best
means at her command for preserving it.
A woman needs a friend upon whom
she can rely, and there is no friend
which so surely aids her when she is in
need of aid as that great remedy, We
ner's Safe Cure.
A woman who has never learned this
great truth or who has failed to avail
herself of it, has lost fine opportunity
and is doubtless less strong aud attrao
tive today than she deserves to be and
might be.
A woman who follows the best hints
that can be given her, and who takes ad-
vantage of the latest discoveries of
science for helping her is certain to live
longer, appear more attractive, suffer
less and enjoy more happiness than one
who neglects her opportunities.

TOMLI{ SON BOUND OVER.
The witnesses tor The Defense Appear
and Bond of $3.50 is Given.

Yesterday the case came up before
United States Commissioner Register of
Percy Tomlinson, charged with taking a
five dollar note from letter mailed
about year ago by Mr.. Holt, or Will
sons Mills, to MIR. Ashly Horne of Clay,
ton.
Young Tomlinson was bound over to
the next term of the United States Court
in the sum of $3.50, the father of the ac-
cused, Mr.. @. Il. Tomlinson, and Mr.. W.
G.. Wilson going on the bond.
The witnesses for the government
were examined last week, an account OF
which was then given. Later was ex-
amined Mr.. John Heath, who,
during the day, asked Mr..
Holt to change a S. note. Mr.. Holt
recognized the note as the one he bad
mailed the same day, and Heath testified
that Tomlinson had given him the note in
payment of a cart which he had bought
from Heath for So.
On cross examination by prisoners
counsel, Mr. T. M. Argo, Heath said that
Tomlinson gave him the note about 8
O'Clock in the morning, whereas Mr.. Holt
had testified that he had mailed the let
ter about noon This was the strong
point in favor of the defense.
Yesterday two witnesses for the de
Tense were examined, namely, Mrs.
Tomlinson, the mother Of the accused,
and Rosa Perkins, colored wash woman
in the family. The mother testified that
her son came in the house, got his
pistol, and that he said he had sold ii for
IS. Rosa Perkins testified that she saw
Tomlinson trading with man and saw
DILL passed between them. On cross
examination by Commissioner Register,
both witnesses said that they had told
the father of the trade before the father
had compromised the matter by paying
back the $5 to Mr.. Holt. They tea flied that
the father paid back the money in the
face of the young mans objection. These
two witnesses were corr0borated by the
father.
Young Tomlinson is a pleasant-faced
| youth with a light moustache and came
in Monday afternoon, leaving for home
| yesterday as soon as the trial was over.
The parents of the young man seemed
much distressed at the issue of the trial
and the mother specially demonstrated
against the holding of her son whose in
nocence she continued to protest.
The government witnesses last Friday
were principally Mr.. Holt who swore that
he enclosed the money. A young man
in the post office swore that Tomlinson
asked him for mucilage Mr.. Charles
Horne, the son of Mr. Asheley Horne
received and opened the letter, said that
NOT findiu0 the money no thouOhf he
had dropped it, and walked back little
ways, but could not find it, and con
Guided that it had not been enclosed.
