THE SONG OF The HALLOWEEN MAID
BY ". c. BARNES

At the time of Halloween
Forms from fairyland are seen:
Fays and elfinS dance and sing;
COLLINS fly on phantom wing;
Toothless witches wildly ride,
Each a rail or broom astride;
Voices speak from out the air:
Eidolons are everywhere.
Certain signs prognosticate
Good or ill in Book of Fate:
Flour or ashes on the back,
Black cat III across the track,
Ger left shoulder moon is seen,
Funeral coaches pass between,
Bats sail round in wild affrignt,
Cocks voice heard at dead of night,
Cattle stamping in the stall,
Ghosts creep DER the churchyard wall,
Salt is carelessly tipped Ger
Mirror breaks upon the floor
All these things nave grave portents,
Foretell good or bad events.
Mortals vainly seek to know
What the future ma bestow;
Girls and boys sit round The fire:
Strive to win heir haert's desire;
Chestnuts twain roast IN the stove,
VII they stay or viii they owe?

One at last Is left alone: L
aid makes a little moan,
For she knows her lovers heart
From her keeping will depart,
If perchance he do not writhe
Meath the swaying of Deaths scythe.
Maiden with the flowing hair
Seeks to see her lover fair,
Grasps her candle, steals away,
Leave the others at their play,
At her mirror takes her stand
Bites the apple in her hand.
Opens wide her eager eyes,
Starts back with affrighted cries;
In the mirror dim and dull,
Ger her shoulder grins a skull,
And she knows she soon will lay,
Stark n cold, Deaths fiancee.
Lads and ~lassies, strive no more
Futures portals to pass DER,
Troubles will come Dor enow:
Happiness will quickly go;
Come it good or come it i'll,
Let thy destiny fulfill
Sans the disappointed hope
In the Sook thou shoudst not ope,
hen unr&Gs the chart of years
Thou mayst smile or shed thy ears.

Just to think, after all the vain pro-
phesying of the fashion chroniclers, plain
ta%ilor-built skirts are going to hold their
own through this coming season. OF
course there are tunics of all shapes and
sizes in abundance but it is to the plain
skirt that fashions devotes are going to
pin their faith. Unfortunately, all that
has been taken away from them in sur
plus length is more than made up to them
in breadth and the task of holding them
up from muddy pavements is as arduous
as ever.
One of the dainties of the new dressy
models had an attractive skirt hat
veered away delightfully."- from the cut
and dried styles of this season. 1t was
built of the palest mauve satin-finished
cloth.
The skirt was made with a long tunic
sloping up slightly at the sides and fin-
ished with a narrow facing Of the cloth

with innumerable little tails dangling
from it. The under skirt fell in full u
godets that barely touched the ground

The bolero, of the cloth, was a short
affair, sloped up very much at the ba Ok
to show a high corsiet ceinture of brown
velvet. 1t was bordered all around the
edges with a triple piping Of brown vel

All that savors of the Empire style Is

Perhaps the most knotty problem Of

on his hands lust before Christmas. A
strange woman with strange ways got
off the evening accommodation and
after time was despatched to the
mayors Office. Chief Childers found
her enroute inacab. IIe.had her taken
to the Deison hotel, where she re-
manned several day in an aggravated
condition Of mind. She talked in a
rambling aud disconnected mannergiE-
ing a most incoherent account ether
self. Upon being searched a deed fora
house and lot in Belpre, Ohio, made
by VIM. Thornton, was found upon
her person Inquiry resulted in in
formation that She was the wife of
William Thornton, colnred, Of Belpre,
Ohio, and the negro came here and
took his white wife home. Later She
became violent and was committed 10

The woman formerly lived in CAL

COOK ISLANDS ANNEXED.
Great Britain Takes Formal Possess
sion OF Them nj the Request
of the Chiefs.

On October 3, last. the governor Of
New Zealand landed on the Cook
islands and formally annexed them 10
the British empire at the unanimous
request OF the chiefs and people. For
10 years the islands have been under
the protection OF Great Britain and
every enactment Of the native legis-
lature has had TO receive the approval
Of the British resident at Raratonga
before being regarded as law. But
there has never been any formal an
nexation 81 the group and the natives
are probably delighted 10 have that
ceremony carried out.
The islands. lying far southeast of
Samoa, are off the usual lines of steam
er traffic, and most of their trade is
carried on with New Zealand and New
South Wales. They properly bear the
name of the great navigator Cook, for
he discovered the greater part of the
group on his second journey in 1873. and
made them better known in his voyage
OF 1777. Cook named one OF the islands
Hervey island. and the missionaries who
settled there somehow got into the
habit of applying the name Hervey 20
the whole group, and to-day they are
called indifferently, the Cook or Hervey
islands.
All of them are coral islands. lifted
only little way above the sea level, ex-
cept Raratonga, the largest and most
populous, whose volcanic mountain
rises to a height Of 4,Goo feet. Rara-
tonga is one Of the pearls OF the South
seas, and is rich in all the products of
the southern archipelagoes. The ma
tives have long used cotton cloth as
money, but coin is now likely to be in
troduced.
