Georgia boys composition on Pc

rhymes at the last enc. A poem also
has feet, but some poems don't stand
steady on EN-. Poets mostly has long
hair, because times is hard. and It's
cheaper to let 1t grow. Poets used to
live in garrets. on crust of bread
when the baker would credit 'em.
Now they live on the ground floor,
where they can escape easy when the

SHE WROTE ANOTHER LETTER.
you don't mean to tell me that this
demonstrating creature is your wife,
and a mesalliance at thatr'
'You forget yourself, Marion!" he
haughtily replied, and"
But I, though my heart was on fire,
interposed in my mellifiuous tones:
THE countess is right, dear hus-
band; l am no beauty, as | have often
assured you"
MY darling!" he exclaimed, with
passionate vehemence, as he took me
N his arms, knowing well how my
poor heart was aching, you have as
sured me of more than that; you have
declared yourself incontestably ugly
and repulsive looking But what care
/, my darling? 1t is the Eem that
love, not abe perishatle beauty of the
casket.
The countess rose and shrugged her
shoulders, remarking as she did so:
Its we'll you are blind, Ralston."
! With that she retired, but the same
morning she wrote and posted a letter
to Paris, and in the course of a week
there was another arrival
| The countess received this guest
alone, and then, without ceremony,
brought him to the music room, where
Ralston and l were luxuriating in a
| heaven of melodious sounds. That was
the first intimation we had of his ar
rival or his errand.

| this gentleman is the most eminent
oculist of his day, and have sent for
HIM, hoping that twenty years of blind
ness may end in your seeing once
more, and | think | may safely say
needed his sight so much" And a
malignant glance at me gave venomous
point to the remark.
And that day she wrote another let
ter, and soon there was in reply an
other arrival-this time a fair, sylph-
like creature, beautiful as a dream.
l looked at her and shuddered,
Heavens! how | suffered! Blu, Why
do linger over all this? Enough that
the day came when he saw for the
first time in twenty long years. That
day! Just before the bandage was 20

called me from the room. Whispering
to the oculist to wait till my return

Eut such was not the countess &c
sign. l returned just in time to hear
my husbands cry of delight as his
eyes rested upon the beautiful Lulu
who had been placed consplcuously In
front of him. and to see him snatch
her to a passionate embrace to his
heart. l sprang forward, wailins

At the sound of my musical tone;

In Moments of Peril.

Darwin has shown that the fear Of
man is an acquired, and not a native
instinct, and from this we may infer
that with other acquired instincts it
would more readily be lost or fall into
allegiance than those instincts that are
Unborn. With strange surroundings
animals tend to lose these acquired in
stincts, as is well shown by the cow
ardice of the house dog in a strange
house, the unruliness Of the horse in
strange harness, and the like. The
land bird in mid-ocean. being bereft of
its accustomed landmarks, loses with
them its acquired instincts until the
sight of land restores its confidence in
itself and gives 1t back az its faculties.
A tameness from similar cause has
often been noticed in wild animals
during commissions of nature, floods
and fire, and 1t is we'll known that
panic, such, for example, as is pro-
duced by fire at sea, falling into the
water or pestilence will bring into
allegiance all mans acquired instincts
and reduce him to the primitive in
stincts of brute beast.

POWDER PUFF IN CUBA.
CHASTITY Mask AdOrns the Faces OF Al
the Women.

the Women
Not many months ago bread was so
scarce in Cuba that thousands died of
starvation, but the times have never
been so sadly out OF Joint that any
scarcity Of face powder was apparent
even among the lowliest, says the
Philadelphia North American. The
Cuban woman. young or old. considers
IL more indispensable adjunct to her
toilet than mere soap and water-a
primal necessity to her attractiveness
which it is her religious duty to foster
and preserve. Thus all classes and
conditions are welded to the powder
pun, from the grande dame of fashion
to the neglected little orphan in the
asylum; from the crumpled visaged
octogenarian to the rosy-cheeked child
of half dozen summers. Go into any
Cuban school and you will find teach
ers and pupils alike unsparingly gar
nished, a powder box and the rag or bit
Of chamois with which to apply 1t in
every desk and tucked alongside the
chalk on the blackboards. In shops
where female clerks are employed and
in the big tobacco factories where
200 or 300 girls are at work rolling
cigarettes the same is true. Visit La
Carona, the largest tobacco factory in
Havana. Ten o'clock is the breakfast
hour of the employees and when the
hands of the clock point to a quarter
of 10 every girl stops work and reaches
for her powder box. In the opinion of
them all that intervening fifteen min
utes was needed in which to assume
the CHASTITY mask of powder, in order
to make themselves presentable before
| going on the streets.

Death Of Annie ]. Morrow.


Last Friday morning word was re-
ceived from Aberdeen of the death OF
Miss Annte.. Morrow, a young lady
born in Mason County, and highly
esteemed by all. Arrangements were
made to bring the remains to Shelton
for interment. and they arrived the
following day, accompanied by the
family from Aberdeen.
| The funeral took place from the
Baptist Church Sunday afternoon, the
service being conducted by Rev. S. A.
Abbott, who preached short but
eloquent address. The Masons and
Eastern Stars took charge Of the ar
engagements and conducted the funeral,
which was unusually large, the family
being well known and respected.
Annie J. Morrow was born in Mason
County, near Shelton, Oct. 8, 1873.
All her life has been spent in this
state. except short time in Oregon,
where she had typhoid fever, from
which she never recovered, haying
been of poor health most of her life.
Mrs. Morrow and her children moved
to Aberdeen just three years ago, but
with no Improvement in health. She
had been belfast for the past two
years, without hopes of recovery, with
nervous exhaustion, due to Lagrippe,
but the immediate cause of death was
nervous peristallic vomiting. She
leaves sorrowing mother, two broth
ers, and four sisters, two of the latter,
Mrs. Oh as. Leake and Mrs. Thos. Nc
Larty, living in Shelton. The Nor
rows are one of our pioneer families
and have numerous relatives in Mason
County.
The family have the sympathy of all
our people, who are familiar with the
sickly life and patient spirit of Annie
and the efforts of all to make her trials
the easier to bear, until death should
come to her relief.
