adored! No cares rest upon her. Papa,
mother, sweetheart and friend all pay
homage to her And why not? These
are her happy helcyen days. No clouds
have come to darken her way. She is en-
titled to be well clothed, or clothed to her
liking. The world may not consider 1t
liberal clothing, but what cares the sum-
mer girl, so she be satisfied that she and
her dress be admired? Admired by
whom, do you ask? By the boys.
Everything to please the boys says the
summer girl. The summer girl needs the
delicacies of life in the way of dainty
food. Food. That sounds prosaic. Bacon,
green's and onions are food; and these
the summer girl disdains. She wants and

Twenty-six stories in all were received

Birmingham's legal lights.
The readings were done in the seclu-
sion of each judges sanctum, and after
all had completed their work they met
to consult in conference the merits of
the stories presented.
Having numbered the manuscripts in
the order of their merit, when the enveI-
opes, were opened containing the figures

/. been determined by every one of the
judges, to-wit:
of Little Cliff Dwellers"

3. "a Mountain Tragedy"
The judges therefor made up their
decision, giving the prize to the author

decision, opened the sealed envelope con-
tanning the address of the story named,
and found 1t to be by Mrs. Mary Lindsay
Watkins. the wife Of Mr.. Robert H.

SEPTEMBER WEATHER Hicks in hi'
forecast of the weather for September
says: From the 7th to 18th is a storm
period, fraught with indications of dsn-
ger on land and sea. Watch your ba
rometer, the wind currents and clouds
As long as barometer is low, with winds
from east or south, the storm centers
have yet to pass your locality. Be
watchfu until conditions change. The
l4th and 18th are reactionary days, Oh
aud about which many restless phenom-
ena may be expected-black clustering
clouds, ftful winds, thunder, and storms
suddenly changing to cool. The 18Th
to 23rd is The crisis of the annual equi-
nox. Mercury, Venus, Earth Eul-
can and full moon, all enter the fray.
Many dangerous storms and gales will
sweep over land, lake and sea, and an
autumnal wave from the polar regions
will wind up the general perturbations.
Cool to cold in northern regions with
early SHOWS. will be no cause for sur
prise.
