is not only necessary but desirable. Tur-
bans and tams are to be the most popu-
lar and generally the most coming this
fall and winter and grays, greens, castor
colors, the new wine shade, and black
and white, are to be popular colors in
velvet trimmings. Among the pretty

Blackberries 70 Throw AWAY.

Charlotte Observer.
In this section OF the State it would
seem that nothing at all was injured by
the irosts of early spring and the year
is one OF great promise, especially in
the matter of fruit. Looking at the
burden on his fruit trees thus early;
there Is scarcely farmer in the coun-
try who Is not expecting the limbs to
break under the ripened loads. On a
drive through the country, peach, apple
and cherry trees can be seen on both
sides of the road, apparently as full of
fruit as they were of blossoms few
weeks ago, and such a condition in
this country rarely prevails. It is des-
tined to be remarkable year for fruit.
The blackberry has never been
known to be a complete failure, al
though it is not so good some years az
In others, but this Is one of its good
years. The bushes look like snow balls.

A group of merry children sat
Upon the floor.
They were looking very snug
In row upon the rug,
The fire before.

Begged all to look and see,
In The Goals.
A great lion, fierce and strong.
And his tawny name SO long
Round him rolls.
ooh, you need not be afraid"
Said the dainty little maid.
In glee.
I'D fight him if he'd dare
just to come outside of there.
You would see.
"I'd take him by the head,
And I'd squeeze him till he bled
His blood all out.
1t his great teeth led show,
Ia saw OH the whole row,
Beside his snout."
The awestricken group looked grave
As the little maid so brave
Smiled once more.
Peeping round the room in fear,
They half expected to hear
The hons roar.
AL at once a. little mouse,
Who had built his tiny house
In the wall,
Came scudding toward the crowd
And, with cries prolonged and loud
Away went all.
By the Iion-slayer led,
They preclpltately fled
To the door.
While the frightened little mouse
Scrambled madly to his house
Across tho floor.

Not A Question Of Ownership.

President Eliot, of Harvard, told
this story at the recent Cornell Club
dinner IA friend of mine, a college
professor, went into a crowded festaur-
ant in New York city for luncheon one
hot day last summer. The man in
charge of the big corridor where the
hat shelves stood was an intelligent
looking fellow, and his bow and smile
We're net OF the obsequeous, stupid
kind, so often effected by coIored wait
ers and dOormen in hotels. He took
my friends hat and gave no check in
return. An hour later, when the pro-
lessor came out of the dining room,
the colored man glanced at him in a
way, turned to the
shelves and handed him his hat. Nv
friend Is man who prides himself on
his powers OF observation, and the mans
ability to remember to whom each ar
ticle Of the clothing belonged struck
him as being something wonderful.
How did you know this was my hat ?"
he asked. II didn't know it, sab" was
the reply. "Then, why did you give 1t
to me?" the professor persisted. "Be-
cause you gave it to me, sah."
