She never smiles. Has frowning griel
With bonds of iron bound her?
Has care long, lean finger raised,
To cast some spell around her?
Has one so young the lesson learned.
That true love Is oft betrayed?
All, no! She never smiles because
Her front teeth are decayed.

HELPED THE CHIEF.
How Loyal Engineer Did His Erotiiey

Meadville, Pa, Nov. 12.--(Special)-
The Loyalty Of the Members OF the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Eng .neers
is proverbial. A circumstance occur
red in this city some days ago, which
emphasizes this feeling.
Frank J. Zeller, is Chief Of the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Eng neers
No. 143. He is extremely popular
among his fellow railway men. and
one of the best known Engineers run
ming out Of Meadville. When the an
nouncement was made short time
ago that Frank was pretty sick. 1t
caused a great deal Of regret among
the boys. Soon he was missed from
his engine, having had to clay off,
on account of his back. A brother or
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, who had been i'll with similar
symptoms, some time before. and who
had been pulled through. called to SEQ
Mr.. Zeller, and in brotherly way.
took with him box Of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, the Remedy which had cured
him. He advised Mr.. Zeller to try
them, with the result that after seven
boxes had been used. he was entirely
well, and able to work.
In an interview MIR. Zeller states:
II had suffered for four years with
this afiiiction, being often kept awake
at night with pains, and at times un-
able to work. ! tried several of the
advertised remedies, and found that
they did me no earthly good. Finally,
a member of our Order. who had been
cured of Kidney Disease by Dodd's
Kidney Pills brought me box. and
asked me to try them. l had little
faith in them, but as drowning man
grasps at straw to help him. SO
took the Pills. / used seven boxes.
and am today as we'll and strong
man as there is in Pennsylvania"
Naturally, Mr.. Zeller feels very
grateful, and his complete recovery
has delighted his many friends. and
none more than the good Brother. who
feels that he was instrumental in saw
ing the life of the Chief.

however. Men in few odd vocations
have discovered that the old wooden
shoes are better for some purposes
than their more pretentious cousins o.
calf or cowhide. In work which keeps
a man in q very hot place. such as
stoking in big furnace room, the
wooden shoes are said to be far pref
erable to leather foot coverings. Not
only nre they easier on the feet. but
they do not dry up and crack and
wither away in the heat as tho shoes
from the American factories do. Wood
is a slow conductor of heat, compared
with leather, and the excessive thick
ness of the wooden soles allows tho
stokers who wear them to stand and
walk for hours on floor SO hot the
hand could scarce be borne upon 1t,
and yet their feet do not feel the ex-
cessive heat. In slaughter houses, too
where the floors are slippery and imy
with blood, the wooden shoes are ap-
preciated. Leather shoes rot very
rapidly and in a day or so the blood
and moisture seeps through their
seams and makes things unpleasant
and unhealthy The wooden shoes are
SO heavy and thick that 1t would take
a year for the stuff to wet them
through, and so the wise butchers
wear them.

 YESTERDAYS FOX HUNT.

Party on the Mountain Fails to Get a
 Brush but Starts Fox for his Life.
 New Years has been a favorite day for fox hunting in the parts for some time, although luck has not always favored the hunters. James G. Lane, John o. Binders, Rush Jones and Eugene D. Field made up a party yesterday to take a run over Talcott Mountain in search of the sly game, and had days hard work without visible results. Dur ing the heaviest part of the snow storm in the forenoon the dogs started fox, but he happened to be within short run ming distance of his hole, and in { he went safe from dogs and the hunters 3 guns. That ended the sport for the day, hunters no longer considering it sportsmanlike to dig out fox after he has been holed. On Christmas day the same party was rewarded with two brushes, MT. Lane shooting fox in the morning and MT. Field one in the after noon.
 The weather on Monday, said MT. Lane was not particularly favorable for fox hunting. The snow was light and filed right into the tracks of the fox. and snow blowing from the trees also filed in the tracks. The scent was thus very weak and gave the dogs some trouble- Hartford Courant.

Besides, the knowledge that the gun-hunters, whose first turn" 1t was not at that moment, were fairly dancing with inn patience and longing, was by no means conducive to steady nerves, and resulted in wavy representation of birds and roadway less satisfying than unique.
 Deer hunting, she said, was simply glorious until the other hunters killed the deer. Then the joy of it was damp ened considerably, in more ways than one. Twice, also the camera hunter had "buck fever" and simply gazed, spell bound, at the fine stag driven out into the open before her, until it had grace fully leaped a thicket and hastened away, The other hunters, who waited for her to cry "done,' as their signal to shoot, had no chance at all. After this experience had been twice theirs, they restricted the camera hunters chances to one in three instead of turn and turn about. Once and once only was a fine deer picture obtained, and then the camera was overturned shortly after and the picture spoiled but the deer was a magnificent fellow. As he stood outlined against the sky line he looked noble the camera hunter openly rejoiced that nobody else got him. Chicago Tribune

HUNTING WITH A CAMERA.
Exciting Sports for Those too Tender
 4n ~

Exciting Sports for Those too Tender
 hearted to Kill Game.
 There is a girl in Chicago who has hunted various kinds of game-bear deer, partridge-this autumn with her camera, and who found life so delight full while thus occupied that she can hardly stop talking about it. Clad in true hunters garb and bearing trusty camera instead of a rifle, the girl went forth to hunt bear. Tripods are of small service in the woods and swamps, so the camera was slung over the shoul- der by a strap. For three days the regulation hunting party, of which the girl made one, hunted bear with much energy and persistence; then the mem bers rested from their labors long enough to attend rural wedding cere- nony at little forest church. Leaving the church half an hour later they encountered a vociferOus shout from some of their fellow -worshipers. A few wards down the road huge black bear numbered easily along, her cubs on eith- CT side The guns of the more seasoned hunters were at their shoulders on the instant But the camera, alas was still under the church seat, where the in stinct of conventionality had led the girl to slip it while the service wss in progress. The only satisfaction which the girl got out of that meeting with the bear was a good cry over the moan ing and lamentations of the little cubs left desolate by the prowess of the other hunters. And it was the only bear seen during the trip.
 The hunting of the partridge is a keen joy to the nature lover The photo graphing of the little brownies is quite another thing. They were by no means difficult to trace or come up with in the Canadian woods this autumn, being so tame that one could easily get with in twenty yards before they took alarm But cartridges at twenty yards are but small specks upon the finding glass of the ordir ary camera, and when suddenly discovered either the soft light Altering down through the interlacing tree tops was sufficient for photographic pur- poses or the birds were too quick for even an instantaneous snapshot.
 The single partridge picture obtained was that of small covey crossing the open road in peace and security. and the birds lookel altogether too much
