1t will require the most intelli>

the sugar factory. 1t is unques>
tionable that the stockholders have
had little encouragement from act

the factory. They must cencede
that there have been disappoint>
ments on both sides and that each
month demonstrates more thor>
oughly to our people what a great
enterprise we have been fortunate
in securing. Beyond question next
year will see an acreage planted, if
the factory is to be operated, which
will more than satisfy the CONS
pany's demands. There has been
some hard feeling engendered in
regard to the assertion that the
factory is operating tor the last year.
This must be frowned down. One
paramount question confronts US
and that is the factory must re-
main. All other questions are
secondary. 1t would be an IRE,
parable loss, a stupendous plunder
to blind ourselves to the injury the
removal Of the factory would do to
us. Let no such thing possibly
happen, whatever internal conflicts
may rise.

The Fashion In Hair Ornaments.

Combs and ornaments, curved
combs, combs with giisteninS orna-
mental headings, large shell pins
with coronets, jeweled gauze butter
flies, jewelel aigrettes, ostrich tips
mounted on gold pins, diamond wings
from the centre OF which rises an os-
prey, silver band from the centre Of
which couple of diam onds culver at
the end of upright wires, play a con-
spicuous part in up-to, date ceiffure.
Flowers are also fashionable for the
hair. Nothing is prettier for young
girls than single natural rose nest
ling against low coils. Tiny wseaths
made of very small blossoms and
green leaves, such as trailing arbutus,
wood anemone, ETC., are equally be-
coming. Many girls Pin down their
locks with gold or silver prongs topped
with some minute colored device.
Nothing has such place in the young
girls heart as the hairpin decorated
with microscopic peacocks in all their
colors, dragon flies, green enameled
shamrock and luck clovers, and O
thousand other wee figures that con-
vert new hairpin box into Teritable
casket of infnitesimal curiosities. Just
as many OF these prongs as are neces-
sary are used to settle the coifure
nicely, and in Consequence the de-
butante's head is a matter 81 ame and
interest to masculine or unegilghtenea
bachelors.

as soon as they were able. it was re-
built and made more splendid than
ever.
At one OF the feasts to Diana there
was among other things cake made
round to represent the moon, and
covered with lighted candles.
As read OF this l wondered if
Diana did not have the very first
birthday cake that ever was made.
With Diana there once lived a
mighty hunter called Orion. He used
to 60 about through the groves with
Diana, and they thought SO much Of
each other that Apollo, her brother,
was afraid she might marry him.
Orion had the power to walk through
the sea.
One day Apollo saw him walking
with only his head above water.
He thought this would be good
time to get rid of him, and asked
Diana if she could shoot that black
speck on the water.
She drew her bow; the arrow struck
him, and soon the waves washed
Orion's dead body out on the sand at
her feet.
She felt so sorry then, but it was
too late to bring Orion back to life.
All she could do was to have him
placed in the sky as group of stars,
where he is to this very day or night.
l hope if you do not know him, you
will have some one show him to you,
fer he is we'll worth seeing these win
ter evenings, with his sword, his belt
and his lions skin.
Beside him is Sirius, the dog 5ta,,
and before him are flying the Plei-
AIDES.
am sure you remember them, at
least one of them. Maia, for whom May
was named, and Atlas, their father,
vho had all the world on his shoul-
ders.
Diana was kind to people in trouble.
There was once shepherd boy named
Endymion, who in some way made
Jupiter angry. No one could ever do
that without being punished, and
Jupiter always seemed to have some
new manner Of furnishing.
He did not cut off Endymion's head
or cast him III prison, but just made
him so sleepy that he could not keep
his eyes open.
This was quite. unfortunate for a
shepherd, for while he was sleeping,
his sheep might all stray away and be
lost.
This probably would have happened
except for Diana, who was so kind that
she watched the sheep every day and
not one was lost.
Since kindness does much toward
making the world bright, I think it
was not much of mistake, after all,
to honor Diana and name the second
day of the week Monday or the Moons
day.-The Favorite.

Z" NO. We still have plenty of
water, plenty of cartridges, and will
fight from where We are to the end.
" All right, said Crow Wing, turn
ing on his heels. All right, [ thought
YOU were towards. I don't think We'll
fight you any more where you are.
Well just starve you out and finish
you up on the open plain. Well just
stay here and starve you to death in
your holes or you will come out aud
fight like men,
'sThe old fellow meant what he said,
but the younger and hotter heads Of
the camp would not agree to it. They
insisted on making one more charge
and said that this time there should
be 40 retreat; that they would stay at
the pits until the last Cree was killed.
The chief had to give in, although all
the old men, and l too, took his part,
and since a charge was to be made, Of
course he had to lead it or lose his
rank. They started; this time on foot,
and sounding nc war cry. AS usual
no shot came from the pits until they
were right on them, and then the
cracking of rifles was as rapid from
both sides as the explosion of bunch
of frecrackers. Again the smoke hid
them from our sight for moment or
two, and again the Blackfeet turnel
and ran back, with three dead this
time and seven more or less seriously
wounded If the camp was in mourn
Jag before, it was now solid commu-
nifty of weeping and wailing children
and women. The dead were taken
away up the stream for burial by their
sorrowing mothers and wives; the
medicine men wer2 buster than ever
with the wounded. \ few men kept
watch on the pits, and the rest Of us
went out on the plain beyond the
sound of the mourners' doleful cries.
"There we stayed all day. The
fight the fearful loss, was talked over
again and again. With the old men l
argued that enough blood had been
shed and that the surviving Crees
should be allowed to go in peace. We
carried the question, and about noon
Grow Wing again approached the pits.
After assuring the Cree chief that he
came alone, and that no shot would be
fired, he asked how many men he had
left.
g Alas Little Bow replied, only
eight of us pow survive; but still we
have plenty of water, plenty of car
tridges.'
" you will not need the cartridges,
said the Blackfoot. Already too
many of my warriors have been killed,
aud we have decided to fight You no
more. You may go when you will.
True to the chiefs word no fires
were built that night, and no one
watched to waylay the enemy. A
guard only was placed about the camp
and horse herd to prevent surprise.
In the morning we approached the
pits; step By sep we walked up to
them, our guns ready to be used if
necessary. There were 22 of them,
and in all but four we found dead
Indian. Two of the party, it will be
remembered, had been killed out oa
the plain the night before: their chief,
then, had boldly lied when he told
Crow Wing that eight survived, for
only he and another left the place
alive. New York Sun.

eager hand reached dowN
Little Fern, for in all the gres
earth there were no people to
its beauty. The signing of the wind
in the trees, the music of bronknear
by, were the only sounds-to be heard.
One day great storm came. Louder
and louder blew the wind through the
tree tops. Day after day the rain
fell, wider and wider grey the little
brook. Could this ragS Co. roaring
torrent have been the sweeceaso sician
of the forest but week a9ye u. last
the rushing water came so ne,-"s that
fral Little Fern was caught by the
stream and whirled away.
Over and over, round and round,
down to the bottom, up to the top
not moments rest for Little Fernl
Flung against stones, hurled among
floating branches, tossed amid leaves
and twigs, bruised by sand and gravel,
for the brook in its haste carried along
everything in its reach. For days
Little Fern was borne swiftly on un-
IL they came to the quiet waters OF a
lake. Then, together with the leaves
and sand and gravel, Little Fern sank
to the bottom.
Every day the stream brought more
sand and gravel, and they were buried
deeper and deeper; and it seemed
quite certain the sun would never
shine upon Little Fern. Year after
wear, hundreds and hundreds of years
passed, and Little Fern was buried
under many feet of earth. Gradually
the tiny fern, once so fragile that a
baby's hand might easily have crushed
it, became harder, until it turned to
stone. The sand and gravel, too, be-
came solid rock.
You must remember that by this
time they were pressed under tons
and tons of earth. Great forest trees
had been added to the weight over
them; for, while Little Fern was
quietly sleeping, wonderful things
had happened in the bright world out
side. Where the lake had been, a
wider marsh appeared, then forest.
But even the trees were not to remain
forever. The ground in which they
grew sank lower, lower; and the forest
became covered with water.
And so change after change came,
until again the surface far above
Little Fern was covered with dense
forests. The world was no longer
silent. Fleet-footed deer sped through
the trees, chased by the arrows Of the
Indians. and the air was filled with
the song of birds. The woods were
full of life.
Then came the white man with his
axe, telling the trees, building houses
and towns, digging far into the earth
for the wealth hidden below. Down,
down, deep in the mines went the
brave miners, searching for the coal
that long years ago had been forest
trees and beautiful plants.
Then came day when the 'clang.
c!ang!" of tne pickaxe reached the
quiet resting place Of Little Fern.
Nearer and nearer drew the sounds,
and finally there was burst of light,
a blow from tool that shattered the
surrounding rocks, and Little Fern
fell at the feet of man. Such a, cold,
stiff Little Fen, all made of stone!

Athletic exercise for women has
quite killed the idea that small ap-
petite was what our grandmothers
would have described as genteel, and
women now eat what they want with
out affectation.
There is no doubt that the girl who
cycles for miles in day, and who
plays go!f as energetically as her
brother, needs more food than the
young woman Of so years ago; but
those who take little active exercise
should eat more spar;ngly.
Il woman would be brigh', at
tractive and healthy she must be Ell:
tremely temperate in the matter OF
food. OF course, if she does not
mind having a muddy complexion, a
double chin and dull brain, she can
eat whatever and whenever she likes,
but doing so is about as wasteful Of
her strength and beauty as if she
were to take frequent doses oi some
harmful drug. Those who wish to
change their diet so as to maze 1t
what it should be must not forget the
plentiful use OF fruits and vegetables.
Salads should be eaten daily, and ap-
Piles, figs and oranges should be used
freely. As a rule American people
eat too much meat and are far tco
fond of stimulating their appetites by
the use of condiments. - Chicago

killed? 1t meant the certain death OF
at least half of them. 1t was about the
most exciting 90 minutes [ ever eTpe-
rienced. 1 couldn't sit still and walked
nervously up and down more than
half inclined, just itching, in fact, to
rush out and join in the row. The
rolling bundles were now quite close
to the point of conveyance and were
moving more slowly. Now they
stopped, and the warriors sprang up
from behind them, numberless shots
rang cut, and a cloud of smoke OBJ
scured everything. Then the firing
suddenly ceased, and the next instant
the Blackfeet were retreating once
more, and I saw that they were bring
ing several dead or wounded with
them. found that there were no
wounded, and everyone Of the five
dead had been shot either IN the upper
breast or head.
g When we jumped up, Grow Wing
said, the Crees had their guns already
in position and fired before we could
take aim. Then the smoke got so
thick we couldn't see them, and we had
to guess where to shoot. But they
could see us, for they were below the
smoke, and my men kept falling one
after another until five were down. L
saw we had no show then and called
ont to retreat. We just couldn't stay
there any longer.
"Jt was now not far from sundown,
and everyone not caring for the
wounded or mourning for the dead
went to wori to gather wood from the
thin belt of timber bordering the
stream, with which to keep up watch
fires through the night. AS soon as
darkness came they blazed brightly
all around the pits, except in one
place, perhaps a hundred yards wide.
When Little Bow, the Cree chief, saw
that, lie told me afterward, he called
out to his men not to attempt to escape
through the dark place. 1t is only a
decoy for US, he said. Many warriors
are ying there, and anyone who at
tempts to pass will be killed

thought that they knew as much as the
chief did, and sometime after midnight
they stole away and crawled toward
the place where there were no fires. A
little later some shots rang out IN the
still air, there were one of two shrieks
of agony, and the Blackleet had two
fresh aud bleeding scalps.
early the next morning Grow
Wing approached the pits near enough
to be heard and called out: If any
one of you can speak Blsckfoot let
him stand up. No shot will be fired.
Little Bow stood up and asked in
fair Blackfoot what was wanted. In
earlier days both tribes had been on
friendly terms and learned a little Of
eacn offers language.
