SONGS DOMAIN.

The poet well the poet knows
In ambush turks where'er he goes
Lisps hidden in each wind that blows
Laughs in each wave,
Signs from the bosom Of the rose,
Walls from the grave.
And Orphic laws of lutte and verse
All the Symphonious worlds coerce
That hour by hour their parts rehearSe-
Winds strings and reeds,
In this orchestral universe
The maestro leads.
But though all life and death and birth,
And all the heavens enzoning girth--
Earth, and the waters meath the earth,
Are Songs domain,
Nor aught so lOwly but is worth
The lOftieSt strain.
IT'S from these moods. in which Life stands
With feet earth-planted, yet with hands
Stretched toward visionary lands,
Where vapOrs lift
A moment, and aerial strands
Clean through the rift.
The poet wins, in hours benign,
At older than the Delphic shrine,
Those limitations, faint and fine,
To which belongs
Whatever character Divine
Invest his songs.
And could we live more near allied
To cloud and mountain, wind and tide,
Cast this unmeaning coil aside,
And go forth free,
The World our goal, Desire our guide,
We then might see
Those master moments grow less rare,
And OfteDer feel that nameless air 80
Come rumoring from we Know lvt where;
And touch, at whiles,
Fantastic shores-the fringeS fair
OF fairy aisies;
And hail the mystic bird that brings
News from the inner courts of things
The eternal courier-dove whose wings
Are never furled;
And hear the bubbling of the springs
That feed the world.

COlOrS for Women.

That blondes should wear blue and brrl-
nettes yellow and red is one of the COM
monplaces of the past that modern ex-
perience is proving a fallacy. AS a rule,
blue, especially at night, is not becoming
to many blondes. the effect being too
fade and insipid. Whereas on black
haired beauty there is no more color that
is more becoming than the cerulean blue,
1T bringing out particularly we'll the meZ-
Zo-tints of a brunette's coloring. The eff
feet may be understood by imagining an
Italian type of beauty against a blue sky.
Red and yellow, on the contrary, tend to
make a dark person look swarthy Deli
cate tints of pale pink and blue are as a
rule, much more refned-lookng and more
suited to marked coloring. Pink is the
color par excellence for blondes; then
comes a certain shade of maize yellow or
sunshine yellow; willie red or cherry is
really lovely at night with a golden head.
Dead white either to blondes or brunettes,
is apt to be trying, unless the wearers
have great deal of color, in which case
it is extremely becoming to both; other
wise it is best to relieve it with colored
flowers in the corsage.--New York Trib-

Recalls Old Times.

Social Buffalo is having a great time
with duplicate whist. The women are
daft over it, and the Commercial says
that concise invitations now take this
form: duplicate whist at s; two tables;
individual scores. Husbands may be or
dered at H." Which moves the cynical
Rochester Post-Express to remark: 1.-The
breezy frankness of this is delicious, and
one can imagine Buffalo husbands rush
ing about in desperate haste each evening
at II. Doubtless they meet on the door
steps of the houses where the symposia
are held and chat and jest together over
the charms and whims of their ladies,
just as their own coachmen used to do
in the simple and good old days when
husband and wife went to balls together
or played hearts each with the other for
partner. But those evenings are long past.
The ladies rule, and the only comfort
that the docile but freezing Buffalo hus-
bands have now is the remembrance that
in those same old days ladies sometimes
fell in love with coachmen, and so may
yet smile with affection upon husbands!'

INDIANS AS HUNTERS.
They Do Not Brighten the Game Out of
Districts as White Men Do.


Districts as White Men Do.
'It is remark often made by old
timers who knew the Western country
when the red man was as common there
as the tenderfoot is now said a sports.
man from the Rockies, ''that Indians
never scare away game from a region in
which they hunt But, they say, wherev-
er the white man comes with his firearms
game is bound to be killed off or driven
away. These sayings are true with the
qualifying statement that by reasonable
game laws game of all kinds can be pre-
served and, even when nearly extermin-
ated, restored to almost it's original plenti
fulness in districts not too fully occupied
by man and his domestic creatures.
Mote the Indian in hunting as he
searches out and steals upon the deer or
wild turkeys with his soft tread of moe
casined feet. In the twang of his bow
string and the flight of the whistling ar
row there is no explosive sound to alarm
the creatures near the one that is struck.
He, like themselves, is in sympathetic ac-
cord with the tints and tones of plain and
mountain and forest, and while endeav-
oring to match their craft against his
they are satisfied with trying to avoid
him without abandoning the region
where he abides.
1T is when white hunters Of the sports
men variety invade it's haunts, their pres
ence heralded by the tread of their booted
feet, their clothes alien in appearance to
the hues and contours of the creatures of
the wilds, and their purpose shown by the
crack and crash of firearms, that game
begins to migrate to other feeding
grounds. Add to this the increasing and
indiscriminate slaughter for slaughter's
sake that characterizes the white mans
hunting, and it is easy to see why the
depopulation of the forest and plain, when
unrestricted by law, is speedy and sure.
Ever since the general adoption by In
dams of firearms for their hunting it has
not been found that large game has di-
minished materially in regions in which
the white man is an infrequent visitor,
although Sir Samuel Baker, the explorer,
asserts of African game and predatory
creatures that, Animals can endure
traps, pitfalls, fire, and every savage
method of hunting; but firearms will
speedily clear them out from extensive

SAVINGS OF YEARS.
Curious Collection of Money Deposited in

Representative Woomer of Lebanon.

CURED in his bank at home. Mr.. Woomer
is cashier of the Peoples bank of Leba-
non, and one day q few weeks ago the
executive of the estate of Mrs. Moses
Light walked in and deposited $4,000 cash
which he had found had been put away in
various places by the deceased. The mon
ey had been accommodating for years and
years and was the patient savings from
the sale of produce.
Among the deposits were 100 pennies,
including many issues of the old coop
pers.' There were $13 in notes of the
State bank of Lebanon. Fortunately
they are still good, as the Lebanon State
bank never failed, but was merged into
the present Lebanon National bank. There
were $47 in fractional currency, 3. ;, 10.
% and 50-cent "shinplasters Some of
the latter were in the original sheets in
which they were printed. When it be-
came known that these relics were in the
bank people thronged in to purchase them,
and in an hour all the ''shinplasters" had
disappeared.
There was also a $40 per cent inter
crest bearing note issued by the govern
ment in the early part of the war. There
was large quantity of old silver, includ-
ing half dollar that was minted in 1919.
There were several of the first issue of
greenbacks, as crisp as though they had
come off the presses at the bureau of
printing and engraving. This money had
been boarded year after year in prefer
ence to trusting it to the banks.

A Farthing with a History.

A farthing with remarkable history
was one of the productions in a case at
a recent circuit court at Aberdeen. 1t is
dated 1884, and in that year, when it
was at it's brightest and best, it was
passed on a Kincardineshire merchant as
a half-sovereign. The merchant, when
the mistake was discovered, wrapped it
in paper and put it away in a separate
drawer along with number of spurious
coins After lying there ten years it
was stolen by burglars who were evident
ly under the impression that it was a
half-sovereign. The possession of the coin
led to thir capture, and resulted in five
years imprisonment each.-Edinburgh

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining Of the Eustachihn Tube. When
this tube is inftamed you have a rumbhne
sound or imperfect hearing, and when DIT is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi
tion hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

has been hunting and hobnobbing as the
guest of Buffalo Bill. Speaking of Sheri-
dan, he thus Illustrates the wild sense of
humor in the big-hearted Western peo-
pie: There came to the Sheridan inn bar
room one day man who had been firing
a defective breech-loading weapon, and
the charge, blowing rearward had de-
posted a line of blue powder grains, ex-
teding from his right eyebrow to the roots
of his hair. AS he pushed back his hat to
take a drink a toiler at the bar caught a
glimpse of the odd mark Chats fine

he remarked. Strange you hain't worked
it." One day at North Platte, after a
sandstone, l was discussing cyclones with
an old inhabitant. Don't have 'em here
at ALL" he proudly said. 'But don't you
know" he continued, that it takes two
people to see a cyclone-one to holler
Here she comes and tother to holler
There she goes damn her! And this
led me to believe that the veteran had seen
at least one in his time"

Stomach Bitters are unrivaled. BY pronot-
ing digestion and assimilation they overcome
that gastric disorder, which is the most pro-

long as it exists, defeats in large measure
the action Of sedatives and opiates Such
remedies, moreover, necessitate the use of
increasing doses, and finally cease to act al
together, except in dangerous quantities.
They never reach the fountain head Of the
