There is meaning in the old names
that cling to certain localities of our
land. The Indians did not bestow these
names arbitrarily, and when they gave
to certain sand hill in Michigan til
tie that means laundering Sand hill
they knew what they were about. White
men today calS it Thunder mountain.
Chief Simon Pokagon, in letter to
Popular Science News, says that this
particular hill is one of number of
sand dunes that stretch for 800 miles
along the east shore of Lake Michigan.
They are formed by drift sand from the
lake and vary from so to 900 feet in
height, being generally covered with
scrub timber, evergreen and hard wood.
This particular hill has a character
Of its own. 1t is literally thunderer.
Now and again it lifts up it's voice and
speaks with low, muttering thunder.
It's eloquence is irregular. 1t will be-
gin and thunder for six or ten seconds,
then pause and in two or three seconds
begin again, as if talking. Sailors,
while passing along the coast, frequent
ly report having heard the voice of
thunder above the roar of the waves
dashlng on the shore.
One who visited the hill says that
when he reached the top it began to
mutter and shake, like a creature of life
that was suffering from an ague chill.
The air rushed out of the sand as if the
mound were breathing with great labor.
And yet the mound seems in compost
tion to be no different from it's neigh
bors.

Here is pretty anecdote of a
child's prayer: A little girl told a
friend who was visiting her father
that her brothers set traps to catch
birds. He asked her what she did.
she replied:

catch the birds"

that God would prevent the birds

works-'I went and kicked the traps

White and Gold Dinner.

White and gold china enables one to
set a lovely table for white and gold
tea or white and gold dinner, using
gold-colored flowers and gold-colored
ribbons for decorations. The ices may
be yellow, the cake icings and trim
nings may be of the same hue, and tall
lamps, with yellow shades, will throw
a soft, golden light over the festive
scene. Beautiful tea and dinner gowns
are made in white and gold, and if the
hostess has golden hair and a pure
white complexion she will look like
fairy princess at magic banquet.

''It is no longer considered necessary"
writes Emma NJ. Hooper, il the Ladies'
Home Journal, "to set aside certain
fabrics for little girls wear, as nova
days they wear everything that their
mothers do, except real lace and jewels.
Care is taken, however, to use only
smaD-patterned materials for their
frocks. In co1ors, white is always in
good taste, also baby blue and pink, and
this spring green is very much in vogue,
as well as golden brown, red, French
and navy blue, pearl gray and pale yell
low. Black is used only as a trimming
in velvet ribbon or mohair braid. Satin
and taffeta ribbons are used as trim
mings, also white, yelIowish and linen
colored enbroideries. Valenciennes
and net top laces are used in white and
butter shades with insertion to match. -

PRETTY DRESDEN DESIGN.

blossoms showing upon either side of the
cup are treated with a purple, made by
mixing deep purple and deep blue. The
dots and scrolls are raised gold. The
paste for these must be mixed and APP
piled, and the pieces are then ready for
their first firing.
When this is done the flowers should
be retouched, the sharp contrasts of
shade being added which have already
been mentioned as a feature of the
Dresden ware. The roses should be
shaded with deep purple in the centers,
and the leaves with brown green laid
on in sharp touches. The centers of the
purple flowers should also be strength
ened with deep blue, perhaps modified
a little with the deep purple.
The dots and scrolls may now be
covered with the gold; dry thoroughly
and then add a second coat. Let all be-
come thoroughly dry and then send tc

ALL THE RAGE NOW.
The Charming Dresden Style of Deco
ration for China.

The Charming Dresden style OF Deco
ration for China.
The Dresden style of decoration for
china is always in favor, and no one who
attempts to paint upon china at the
present time can afford to be ignorant
of its characteristic features. The
painting is always done upon the white
ware. as the tinted grounds are never
used for Dresden. The flowers, figures
and other devices employed are not out
lined in any way, as is done in all other
styles of china painting. Pure, bright
colors are employed, quite in contrast
to the soft, mellow tones sought in Roy
al Worcester. The shading of the flow
ers is intense and sharp, and vivid con-
trasts of color are often seen.
Gold scrollwork is largely employed,
often in relief. and sometimes plain
panel of dark color is outlined between
the bits of decoration.
There is for sale in the art stores a
complete line of Dresden colors in
tended for this style of decoration ex-
clusively, but unless a speciality is made
of this line of work, the La Croix colors
may be used with entirely satisfactory
results. Care must be taken, however,
in selecting the colors to be used, choos-
ing those only which are intense and
pure in tone, and avoiding all the soft
and new" shades.
The gold work, both plain and raised,
is done as in other styles of decoration
already described. The paints are pre-
pared for use in the same manner, but
there is no soft blending in tones in
shading, and, as already stated, no out
line of color is employed.
The design shown herewith is good
example of the Dresden style of decora-
ton 1t is desirable for dinner or tea
cups and saucers.
To paint this in La Croix colors, first
tint the plain panels a. bright yellow,
using silver yellow for the purpose.
Next draw the flower sprays upon the
plain white china, and paint them with
the local colors, using carmine No. 2
rather thin for the roses. and leaving the
white china itself for the highest lights.
The leaves are of apple-green, the small
flowers of deep blue green The half

He Cot Something.

Wednesday afternoon last, while the
mayor of this town (who is ourself) was in
his Office in the city hall, word was
brought to him that there was trouble at
the postoffice. The postmaster (who is
also ourself) at once left the mayors office
for the scene. On arriving there he found
a stranger standing at the general delivery
window with a gun in either hand. He
had come in an hour before and asked for
mail for Joe Barnes. There was none, but
he had declared his intention to wait until
some arrived While he waited he shot
away two lamp climneys and sent half a
dozen bullets into as many mail boxes. At
every shot he would utter a warwhoop,
and at-every whoop more of a crowd gath
cred. The stranger was having lots of fun
when Mr.. Jim HellSo (Who is ourself) ar
rived on the scene. Although we have a
postal graveyard back of the postof1ce for
the reception of just such critters and have
already planted two in it, our instructions
from Washington are not to shoot until
pacific measures have been exhausted.
We therefore went for Mr.. Barnes in pa
cif1c way He got one shot at us, but it
went wild Then we had him by the neck,
and when we got through mopping him
around he had two broken ribs and his
kneecaps were a long way out of plumb.
When he came to and had time to think
the matter over, he said he didn't blame
US bit. The game he played used to be a
fayorite one around here, and the player
always had lots of fun. But things have
changed. There are certain rules govern
ing this postoffice, and the critter who at
teInpts to walk on them is certain to feel
something drop NJ QUAD.

A Cheerful Correction.

Mr.. Thomas Dorland, proprietor of the
Big Elk saloon and poker parlors, called
at The Kicker office the other day and con-
WINGED US that we were in error in publish
ing the statement that he had murdered
three men in Wyoming and had the heart
of a butcher. He killed Chinaman in
California for attempting robbery and
half breed in Utah for calling him 3 liar.
In neither of these cases was he actuated
by malice or did he exceed his rights AS to
his having the heart of a butcher he soon
satisfied US that he was naturally tender
hearted and full of sympathy and pity,
and we cheerfully make this correction in
justice to a good man and an enterprising
citizen. Up to the present time Mr.. Dor
land has strongly objected to advertising
in The Kicker, having no faith in it as
medium, but he has changed his mind and
will run quarter of a column with Us
during the next year

In late number of The Kicker we re-
ferred to the inhabitants of Blue Hill City
as congregation of lop shouldered, slab
sided, cross eyed absconders from the laws
of other states and to the town itself as
a ''sinkhole of iniquity founded by rob-
bers.'' We didn't mean anything serious
by this. We were just Singing metaphor
that day on our editorial page, and it
struck US that little metaphor wouldn't
be a bad thing for Blue Hill. We had no
idea that any one was displeased until we
rode over to that town the other day to
make up list of subscribers. We felt that
our welcome was rather chilly, but mis-
trusted nothing until we saw man with
q rope. Then we climbed back into the
saddle, and just as we got there a crowd of
about goo people made rush for us. Our
mule put his ears back and lay down to it,
and though portion of the mob followed
US for five miles, we got safely away.
There is no question in our mind that we
just missed being strung up, and we can't

Adam one has had right to use metaphor,

you call a liar always gives you a chance

we hope he'll come over and explain.
