Up In the attic found them. locked in the
cedar chest,
Where the lowered gowns lie folded. which
once were brave as the best;
And, like the queer old jackets and the
waiScoat gay with stripes,
They tell of worn-out fashion-these old
daguerreotypes.
Quaint little folding cases fastened with
tiny hook,
Seemingly made to tempt one to lift up tho
latch and look,
Innings of purple velvet. odd little fra mes
of gold,
circling the faded faces brought from the
days Of old.
Grandpa and grandma, taken ever so long
ago,
Grandma's bonnet marvel, grandpa's col
lar a show;
Mother. tiny toddler. with rings on her
baby hands
Painted--lest none should notice-in gilt
tering. gilded bands.
Aunts and uncles and cousins, q starchy
and stiff array,
Lovers and brides. then blooming, but now
SO wrinkled and gray.
Out through the misty glasses they gaze
at me, sitting here
Opening the quaint old cases with smile
that Is half tear.
I will smile no more, little pictures, for
heartless II was, in truth,
To drag to the cruel daylight these ghosts
of a vanished youth.
Go back to your cedar chamber, your
gowns and your lavender,
And dream, mid their bygone graces, of
the wonderful days that were.

"My bath is ready, is it, Mrs. job

pretty near time for you to begin to
do little thinking with regard to some
of your methods, Mrs. Jobson. You
saw to what condition that cold bath
scheme of yours reduced me yester-
day morning, and yet it seems to have
aroused no sympathy within you. You
calmly come to me this morning, wake
me out of sound, health-giving slum-
ber, and tell me that you have another
one of those deadly cold baths of yours
ready. Mrs. Jobson, revolt. I'm
pretty easy to get along with, but when
you try to foist fads upon me that are
obviously designed with view to
getting me under the ground before the

STOPPED TRAIN FOR MATCH
Experience of . Mail Clerk who
Had Work He Couldn't Do
In the Dark.

"I noticed in the paper the other
clerk, according to the Sioux City
Journal, 1.-The story of how the cap
tain of the little gasoline boat that
left here for up the Missouri had to
come back overland for 40 miles for
a repair that cost him only ten cents,
but which was just as necessary as
if it cost the price of the whole en-
CINE. l recalled to my mind an eX-
perience l once had on the run be-
tween here and Missouri Valley, on
the Sioux City & Pacific, illustrating
how much may hang upon something
ordinarily quite Insignificant Be-
tween Whiting and Onawa one night
gust of wind blew out every lamp
in the mail car, which, of course,
made it impossible for me to work,
and l had considerable to do yet to
tie up Onawa's mail. l put my hand
in my pocket to get match, but
couldn't find any. Something had to
be done quickly, and all there was
left fer me to do was to pull the bell
cord and signal the engine to stop.
The conductor, brakeman and some
of the passengers came running to
the head of the train to learn what
was the matter, The darkness in my
car suggested that perhaps there had
been hold-up and robbery of the
mail; but when / called to the con-
ductor to give me match, ii relieved
his anxiety, but it did not entirely re-
store his good humor; lit my lamps
again and had my mail ready when
we reached Onawa. Since that time
am especially careful to see that
have an ample match supply"
