The mouth is the franKest part of
the face. 1t can the least conceal the
feelings. We can neither hide ill
temper with 1t nor good. We may af-
feet what we please, but affectations
will not help us. In a wrong cause 1t
will only make our observers resent
the endeavor to impose upon them. A
mouth should be of good natural d.,
mansions, as well as plump in the lips.
When the ancients, among their beau
ties. made mention of small mouths
and lips, they meant small only as OPP
posed to an excess the other way, a
fault very com0mon in the South. The
sayings in favor OF small mouths,
which have been the ruin of SO many
pretty looks. are very absurd. If there
must be an excess either way, 1t had
better be the liberal one. A pretty,
pursed-up mouth is 1T for nothing but
to be left to its complacency. Large
mouths are oftener found in union
with generous dispositions than very
small ones. Beauty should have neith-
er, but a reasonable look of openness
and delicacy. 1t has an elegance in
lips, when. instead OF making sharp
angles at the corner of the mouth, they
retain a certain breadth to the very
verge, and show the red. The corner
then looks painted with a free and
liberal pencil. a

The Little Shoppers.

The air is filled with the odor Of spruce
And the scent OF painted toys, u
There are Christmas trees, both large and small,
And babel of happy noise
They come and go in this wonderland
Little shoppers with mien SO wise,
They carefully count their pennies DER,
And thoughtfuly each one buys
There's tender thought, since year ago,
Safe hidden in each little breast
And the pennies saved through long, gold days
To be spent fol- the ones loved best
Oh, it's mystery dear that no older heart
May hope the one-half to know
When the little shoppers return from quest
And steal upstairs tiptoe
Gods grace be with you, tiny ones,
And the best of Christmas cheer;
Gods grace be with you all life long
With you, little shoppers, DEAR

IN MEMORYS WAKE.

The past is plain, we read it like book,
Ald oft with sadness on its pages look,
And heave sigh to note the winding ways
That we have wandered in the by-gone days.
We rise each morning with cheerful will
To do the bidding of the Master still.
But oh, how oft before the close of day
Our hayward minds have led our feet astray.
How oft the Savior lent willing hand
And sought to save us from the sinking sand,
Yet did we spurn His offer from the throne,
And rather chose to walk and work alone
The present holds us with its ceaseless round
of daily toll, or newborn pleasures found,
Each mortal in his own peculiar sphere,
Works out the sum of life from year to year.
And swift as river rushing to the sea
Our race is run, we face eternity;
Each little moment as it speeds along
Leaves in its track the stamp of right or wrong
And thus upon the stage of life are wrought
The deeds of men; each passing word anC
thought
Is writ upon the book of life on high.
And we shall see the record by-and-by.
Then when our last accounts on earth are cast,
And we shall view the record of the past,
Ray angel fingers find with loving pride
The larger balance on the credit side.

and three boys were in imminent danger
during an exhibition at the Lowery cir
Gus. David McDade, an seronaut. was
preparing trapeze act from bar at

Among the thousands near him were
three boys. The balloon was inflated and
at word from McDadc the guy ropes
were severed. In an instant the big air
ship left the earth and simultaneously
there Was an ou:cry Of horror from the
crowd as the three boys were discovered
dangling among the ropes. In their
eaSerness TO watch the ascension the boys
had unconsciously stepped among the
ropes attached to the ship. The balloon
had risen probably twenty-five feet when
two Of the boys squirmed through the
meshes of rope and dropped to the ground
unhurt. Soaring up with the big ship,
however. rose the third boy. Wallace
Cartwright, aged 10 years. until he ap-
peared bur a mere speck in the sky.
Young Cartwright clung with his hands
to the dangling rope with tenacious en-
ergy. When he had risen 1000 feet the
hot air in the balloon became exhausted.
The boy hung directly above McDade's
head. and the latter was fearful lest the
boy, i6rhe fell. would strike him and both
would be dashed to death. BY promises
and threats the aeronaut induced Cart
wright to cling to his fimsy support un-

field.

Railroads Expect to Build 200 New
Towns in the Near Future.
Railroads centering in Chicago are
booming the territory between Lake
Michigan and the Rocky Mountains, and
1t is expected that 100000 will be added
% the population in the next eighteen
months. Pamphlets stating plainly the
resources and advantages Of the West are
being distributed throughout Europe, as
well as in our own New England and At
'antic coast States, at the expense of the
transportation companies. New towns

Before 1902 it is believed this number
will exceed 200. Areas neglected in the
past, while trunk lines were building, are
receiving the closest attention from rail-
7oad land. commissioners and traffic man
ayers.
The railroads know that with new set

10000 acres Of unsold land in South Da

MAFEKING IS FREE.
SIEGE IS RAISED AFTER MONTHS
OF PERIL.
Badeu.POweiI's Garrison OF Brittsh
Soldiers Freed from the BOer Gordon
Which Has Surrounded Them Since
the Opening of the War.

Adyices reached Sydney, \. :. W.,
Friday announcing the relief OF Maze
king. The news was received with en-
thusiastic demonstrations and the Gov
ernment proclaimed holiday. a special
dispatch from Lorenzo Marques says the
last 500 refugees who arrived there agree
that Mafcking has been relieved.
The history Of the siege of Mafeking
dates from Oct. II, the day of the be-
ginning of the war. The armed force OF
Britons within the city at that time did
not exceed 100. What it numbers now
is purely n matter of conjecture. In COM
parison London fears it is a mere handful
and the reports of the various battles
and skirmishes give color to this appre-
hension. Bulletins OF British victories
have always been accompanied with lists
of casualties more or less large.
A sample of the British sOrties was the
one on the day after Christmas. Under
the leadership of Captain Verncn the sol
diers fought their way up to the entrance
to the Boer trenches. True, they were
repulsed and their loss was disastrOusly
heavy to a garrison so small, but the
courage displayed in the daring charge
was uiAhV ah W thS NNASANNAS
of the city and an object lesson TO the
besiegers.
Attacks in force, prior to the final I'M
availing attempt May Il, were made by
the Beers on Oct. 81, Feb. II and March
80. The first one was OF only one days
duration, but the other two each cOntin-
ued for two days. The most disastrous
one for the garrison was the battle In the
closing days of March. when, according
to advices from British sources, nearly
every officer in the city was wounded.
The defense of Mafeking by the heroic
British garrison under Col. Baden-POwell
will live in history. Individual valOr was
even more markedly displayed than col
lective bravery. Courage in battle was
coupled with endurance under privation,
which, it has been said, has rs a parallel
in the annals OF the British army only
the indOmitable resistance at the siege
of Lucknow. Fever and famine were
foes even more persistent than were the
Afrikanders.
Under almost continuous bOmbardment
and frequently called upon to repel at
tacks in force, the garrison was never
surprised. The soldiers slept beside their
arms. and in this case the expression is
literally correct. Night alarms were fire.
quent and the response was as prompt
as il the men had already been lined up
in expectation Of battle. Strengthening
Of courage was the only sequel to grad
ual weakening Of numbers from the fire
of the enemy without or the ravages Of
disease within.

WOMAN TRIES To SHOOT A MAN.

Sensational Murder ON q Cleveland
Street Prevented by a Bystander.
A sensational scene, in which q woman
beat a man and attempted TO shoot him,
took place on Prospect street, Cleveland,
on recent morning. The woman was
in restaurant when she saw a man pass
by. Grabbing bundle. the woman jump
ed up and ran after the man. She caught
up with him and began to strike him with
the bundle, which burst open. The wom-
an then pulled a revolver from the folds
Of her dress and was about TO use 1t,
when William Mcpherson grabbed her
arm and took the revolver away from her.
The man made his escape and afterward
the woman went away, declining 10 give
