From q Friend.

To Miss Cid5ie TUyJOr, in answer to
the lines written in memoir of her broth
According to the cOnventiOnality
OF etiquette, we are strangers, and by
that rule these lines would be considered
a presumptuOus intrusion, but as the
deeper problems of life and death.-time
and eternity-dawn upon us, and the
soul expands more into the likeness of
God, its creator these light cOnven-
tiOnalities seem only as bubbles upon
the bosom of the deep, which glisten for
| a moment and gone forever.
In reading your lines written in mem
Dry of your brother, the heart wall that
went through them touched respon
sive chord in my heart, which caused tn G
tears tn flow down my cheeks, and my
| sympathy to reach out to you in tender
| est response.
! From experience | am persuaded that
| the tie between pure sister and low
| ing, honorable brother, is one of the
strongest that can bind together human
sonls; and nothing that can give keener
anguish than the severlng of such a
tie. How often from my own heart as
gone out the question, "Brother where
art thou?" Always the answer comes
back-I believe through Divine power
beyond the vail in the Mansion not
made with hands, in the bright land
about which we have talked SO often
But the tilmy vail is betw cen! O, what
would we not give to solve the mystery
and know what is beyond; yet who
would dare to lift that vail? So we must
! watch, and wait and trust until God
with his own hand, shall lift the vail
and bid us come, come up higher into
the sunlight of eternal glory, where we
shall see and know our loved ones

A model hostess must to all ap-

The hDunce shows no sign of an
early death. 1t has come to stay,
for an Indefinite time, at Least. 1t is
interesting TO merely imagine what
the spring will bring Us in gowns
when, no doubt, the tiounce will be
used literally. The new tiounce, as
every woman knows by this time, Is
not straight piece of goods gath
cred to give fulluess aud folds, but
it is cut in circular fashion that
permits it to fall most artistically.
In the establishments where new
garments Tor women are being daily
turned ont there are to be found all
sorts of fiDunced polOnaises, redin-
gotes, newmark cts. Camisards, and
princesse-s shaped cloak dresses, with
loose, curved fronts and bishop
sleeves, prevail among the unusual
variety of wiute- wraps These,
however. do not interfere at all with
the vogue of the smart little French
Jackets and short open English
coats. A fashionable tailor gives it
as his opinion that no garment for
general out-of-eaOOr, cold weather
wear is more becoming to women of
fairly good figoTs than the new
market, aaether Of the revived long
wraps, IN edited by rounded fronts.

Some day, when falls a sudden sense
OF perfect peace on heart and brain
That comes, we know not why or
whence,
And ere we seek is gone again;
When breathes the uneXpectant hour
Strange beauty of an instant blow,
AS if a rose were full in flower
Whose earliest buds We knew not
grown;
Perchance, one winged moment sped
Down the white heights Of heavenly
ali,
Some spirit Of our blessed dead
Hath stood beside us unaware.

The present craze for earrings has
found many women whose ears have
not been pierced, and women often
hesitate to intict upon themselves
what will be a distigurati"n when
the fashion shall have gone the way
of all fashions. But the new ear
rings need no pierci.g Of ears, for
they are simply a bit of gold filigree
that catches the lobe of the ear and
may or may not support jewels, says
a New York exchange. Neck chains
are worn with every kind of cos
tune, and heavy gold ones, with no
raison d'etre save To carry a locket
or ornament, are becoming more and
more popular. A prOfusion of jewels
seems to be the fashion this season,
and the jewellers pronounce the ruby
to be the most fashionable stone.
II is the proper clasp for the pearl
dog collar that is worn even with
elaborate high necked gowns.

MY LOVE.

not as all other women are

Her glorious fancies come from far,
Beneath the silver evening star,
And yet her heart is ever near.

And sweet they are ~ any tone

Yet in herself she dwelleth not,

How To Remove DandruG.


There is nothingSwhich will ruin
the hair so quickly as dandrutf,

il to come out. The first step neces-
sary TO remove dandruff and get the
scalp in good condition, is to wash it
thoroughly. Use soft water, heated
until 1t is little warmer than new
milk, and dissolve little powdered
bOrax in 1t. Wash until the head is
clean, using enough soap to make a
good suds, then rinse with clear
water, and wipe with a towel. When
it is dry, rub little pomade or vase
line into the roots to supply the oil
that was removed by washing. 1t il

other time.
After the hair Is clean, keep IL so

SCHOOL LAND SALE.
All Delinquents on School Lands
Must Pay Up.

Notice has been received by County
Auditor Spur to have the Commits
sioners appoint an appraiser for school
lands in this county to act with those
appointed by the governor and state
auditor. The commissioners will
meet today TO appoint the appraiser.
State auditor Dunn has decided to
sell all school lands which are delin-
quent even if only for last years in
terest. The sales will not take place
before July, for such of the lands as
are delinquent must be advertised
and thirty days notice of the sale
given. Even then the present owners
can redeem at the last moment.
This action by the State Auditor
has been necessitated by the large
amount of delinquencies which have
accumulated.
The auditor recommended to the
legislature to reduce the rate of in
terest to four per cent, but the legis-
lature didn't see it that way.
