THE CONOUEROR.

The barkeeper's wife has a sealskin
coat,
But mine has an old plaid shawl;
She has jewels for finger and ear and
throat,
But mine has none at all.
Her only ring stole one night
And pawned for poisoned drink!
Oh, mother of mine! Bring back the
light
Ofyouth and the strength to think!
The harkeeper's child has books and
toys
My children have want and woe;
They never have dwelt in the world of
joys
The harkeeper's child may know.
At tiny doll my baby's eye
Would dance, and her heart would
swell,
But I've always taken the price to buy
a cup of the liquid hell.
Oh, the girl l wooed in the good, glad
years.
Whose pure lips touched with mine,-
I swear to Danish heI bitter tears
In the strength of love divine;
And hearts so broken and sad to-day,
With new-fOund bliss shall thrill,
For the devil of rum I'll cast away
God helping me, | will!

THE BEST OF swEETHEARTs.

"His mothers his sweetheart-the
sweetest the best!"
So say the white roses he brings to
my breast;
The roses that bloom when life's sum-
mers depart;
But his love is the sweetest rose over
my heart!
The love that hath crowned me-
A necklace around me,
That closer to God and to heaven hath
bound me!
"His mothers his sweetheart"
Through all the sad year.
His love is the rainbow that shines
through my tears;
My light in Gods darkness, when
with my dim eyes
| see not the stars m the storm of his
skies.
When l bow meath the lad
And no rose decks the sod,
His love lights the pathway that leads
me to God!
"His mothers his sweetheart" Shine
bright for his feet,
o lamps on iife's highway! and roses,
lean sweet
To the lips of my darling! and God
grant his sun
And his stars to my dutifu, beautiful
one!
For his love it hath crowned me,
A necklace around me,
And closer to God and to heaven hath
bound me!

The Emotions are scuIptors.

Every emotion tends to sculpture
the body into beauty or into nglinpss.
Worrying. freiting, unbridled pas
siOas, petulance, discomfort, everv
dishonest act, every falsehOOd, every
feeling of envy, jealousy, fear,-each
has its effect on the system, and
acts deleteriously like poison or a
defoImer of the body. Professor
James of Harvard, an expert in the
mental sciences, says: Every
Rnaan stroke Of virture or vice leaves
it's ever so little scar. Nothing we
ever do is, in strict literalnPss, wi Led

by alcohol, while we ourselves may
be changing our own bodies Into
hideOus forms by what seem to be
innocent sins" A fit of anger may
work greater damage to the body
and character than a drunken bout.
Hatred may leave worse scars upon
a ehesn life than the bottle Jeal-

grief may do more to wreck the

Various Fads of Autumn Dressing.

Plush wraps, which are to be quite
popular, range in length from the
short cape to thirty or thirty-twO
inches, and some are elaborately
trimmed with embroidery and fur
Capes in an excellent quality of
plush are shown this fall at prices
much lower than those of former
seasons. Among the novelties are
some with pleats in the back;and
one, which will be an especial fa-
vorite, falls in graceful folds from
the shoulders, giving somewhat the
appearance Of a stylish loose sleeve!
The back is tight. fitting, held in
by belt.
Tie ruffie that is such a charac-
terlstic feature of the new cloth
capes is seen also in cloaks of fur: in
these it is of light fur on dark cape.
Though the adoption of trimming
on coats and capes, other than braid
has been very gradual, the coming
season insnres styles in all kinds of
wraps that call for most elaborate
display. THIS fashion can be traced
to the use of 50 many ruches, flDun.
ces aud draperies on the summer
gowns.
At present fringe promises to be a
most popular fail auI winter trim
ming, especially tor pelerines and
victorines, whIcn are among the
leading wraps. A most effective
fringe is the long, twisted silk
fringe, having an deliberately knot
ted heading which affords a close
likeness To rich passementerIe. This
generally comes in black, from six
to ten inches deep, and is used to
finish the edges of capes and trim
stole ends. Tape or braid fringe
will also be much in vogue. 1t is
much more simple in style, having
for the heading crimped tape
about one quarter of an inch wide,
while in depth it measures three
! inches.
Fringe is employed to produce
bertha and ruffled effects, and for
Stimulating the graceful, flowing
sleeves. Golf capes made from mate
rial by the yard, will be fringed
more literally tdan ever before,
even surprising the shawl cape
while wraps of various kinds made
from similar materials are to be
fringed as much as pOssible.-MOdes

The most important point in the
salt and water process Of setting the
color in your shirt waist is to have
the brine strong enough and the wa
ter hos enough. Use one quart of
salt in an ordinary bucket OF water
and have the water scalding hot.
Use wooden or paper bucket, rs
the brine will rust tin and spot your
article. Put your goods in cover and
let them stand about three or four
hours until the water is perfectly
cold. Put only one article in each
buck'ttul. After drying, the color
will remain in fast as long as the
piece holds together. OF course this
must be done when the goods are
new, before they have been Lander
ed at all.

To Grow violets suocessrulIy.

One all important item in the cul
ture of violets is ventilation. They
must have fresh air and plenty of it

easily secured by placing blocks un-
der the ends of the sash. They will
require careful watching during the
bright sunny days, to prevent the
temperature from rising too high
The nearer 1t can be kept at from 55
to Cd degrees during the blooming
season the better. Cooler tempera
ture before time for blooming will
be necessary. During severe winter
weather it will be necessary to cover
the sash with manure. strawy litter
or old carpet', to keep o the cold
These coverings should not remain
on during the daytime unless it
seems necessary. AS To watering,
the grower will have to use some
Judgment. ViOlets must never be al
lowed to dry out, and require con
siderable water. Allow plenty of
water, but avoid daily soaking
whether needed or not. 1t is rather
a difficult matter to grow violets in

TRAITS OF THE CAT.
All Tend to Show 1t Is Naturally a
Solitary Animal.


All the cats habits show it to be
by nature solitary animal, says Louis
Robinson in wild Traits in Tame Ami
mails Even in early life, when fam
lily ties bring out the instinct of asso-
citation, this is apparent. If you COM
pare the play of puppies with that of
kittens you will find in one case that
companionship of some kind is an es-
sential, for if a puppy has no playmate
of his own species he will always try
to make one of the nearest biped;
whereas a CORR or bit of string is all
that is necessary to satisfy the require
ments of the kitten. The way in
which the cat takes its food is a sure
sign that in its natural state it is not
in the habit of associating with greedy
companions. When given something
to eat it first carefully smells the NOR
sell then takes it in a deliberate and
gingerly way, and sits down to finish
it at leisure. There is none of that
inclination to snatch hastily at any
food held before it which we observe
even in well-trained dogs, nor does
cat seem in any hurry to stow its
goods in the one place where thieving
rivals cannot interfere with them. In
deed, no greater contrast in natural
table manners can be observed any
where than when we turn from the
kennel or the pigsty and watch the
dainty way in which cat takes its
meals. That a cat allows people to
approach it while it is feeding with
out showing jealousy proves that it
does not attribute to human beings
like tastes with its own.

Noble Act OF a Mississippian in the

Ito be Continued

Noble Act of a Mississippian in the
Storming of the Fortress.
The Hon John Temple Graves, in
brief speech before Georgia Woman's
Club, told on the spur of the moment
a beautiful story-a true story-whlcn
embalms the heroism and surprising
chivalry of a gallant veteran now liv-
ing in Atlanta. Mr.. Graves said:
This is an era of heroes. We are
clarifying the proves of Dewey and
HobsOn and Blue and browning them
with immortal memories. And this is
right. The appreciation of heroes pro-
duces heroes. Men do not mind risk
ing their lives for country that will
remember the daring. And the time
to recognize heroes is while they live
not after they are dead. Let us re-
member our present heroes while they
are with us, and let us not now or
ever forget the heroes yet living whose
proves glorified an earlier day
There is a hero and night of chival-
ry in this hall tonight LIE me tell
you the splendid story which his mo-
deSt lips have never told: THE war
with Mexico is part of our martial
history. Taylor and Scott and Davis
and Lee came out of it immortal. The
epic of the great struggle was the
storming of Chapultepec. That
frOwing fortress was the Gibraltar of
Mexico It's massive walls seemed i'm
pregnable. But American daring halt
ed at no obstacles, and an intrepid band
of volunteers was chosen to scale and
assault it. Among the first of the
dauntless few who braved their way
through the shot and shell to the for
tress on that dreadful day was a young
Mississippian, handsome as Alcibiades,
proud, confident, and thrilling with pa
triOtic ferver. He was among the first
if not one of the first. TO scale the wall,
and, sword in hand, dashed along that
storm-swept rampant in advance of all
his fellows, to cut down the waving flag
of the enemy and reap the immortality
of the deed. He was the first to reach
the flag; his sword was raised, when
he heard swift footsteps behind him.
He paused, turned and saw his COM
handing officer, to whom he was ten
derby attached and deeply obligated.
And then this gallant Mississippian,
without moments hesitation, with
the bow of a Chesterfield, lowered his
sword and with the point at rest stood
aside while his friend and commanding
officer cut down the flag of Mexico and
was bulletined for the laurels OF that
splendid day. In the history of battles
there was never more gallant, more
chivalric deed than that. And the real
hero of Chapultepec, manned and gray,
but glorious still, sits just before me
here tonight in the person of my noble
and beloved friend, General William S
Walker of Atlanta"
