Choosing COIOTs

Since the most vivid colOrs seem 10
be running riot and vying with each
other for favor this season, all those
who have an eye for harmony may ex-
pect to endure all sorts of tortures in
consequence. If there is one thing
under the sun that the great majority
seems to lack absolutely, 1t is the
ability to select such colOrs for their
personal adornment as are most suited
TO the tints of hair and complexion,
declares a woman who knows.
She Of the dull. colorless hair will
persist in wearing lifeless grays and
sickly greens, while her Titian-haired
sister fairly revels in pinks and reds.
Their gypsy cousin. who would be a
raving beauty in scarlet or yellow, will
not consider them for a moment in her
haste to choose a baby blue or foamy
green ball gown.
Fortunately the reign of the colored
silk petticoat is about over, and suf-
fering humanity may hope that it will
not be compelled to endure indefinitely
such combinations as turquoise blue
worn with a red gown and hat of
apple-green velvet, trimmed with pink
roses. A becoming color is the first
consideration of the well-dressed
woman. for she knows instinctively
that an unbecoming one, be it ever so
modish. will have a disastrous effect
upon the most elaborate toilet As
there is such a broad range to select

Mother Died Tonight

Your mother died tonight" that's all
it said;
But, somehow, in that simple line
read
The last sad words of love and SYM
pauhy,
The last, heart blessing that she gave
to- me,
The admonitions that all went amiss,
And what God ne'er can give, her fare
well kiss;
The fadeless picture as she knelt to
pray
That she might meet me up above
some day.
your mother died tonight" is all it
AS on the throbbing wire the tidings
sped
From that old, happy home, from
which l came,
To strive anew for honor and for fame
To moil with will to win a golden store
To lay in solemn suppliance at her
door;
But shattered are the hopes, unnerved
the might,
By that sad message. Mother died to-
night"
o stars that glide through heavens un-
fathomed sea,
May I not meet her in Alcyone?
On. let me know, as oft in childhood
harms,
That peace found only nesting in her
armsi
Gone the gray hair, the eyes that wept
in vain,
Gone the sad smile I neer shall see
again,
Gone the true heart, the soft, love
laden breast,
Gone the one mother to her last long
rest

Notes From WOman's Realm


can wear this color Blue and even
green are much safer selections for the
average woman. The wrong shade of
brown can effectually take the light
out of the hair and eyes, and make a
Isallow complexion look its worst On
the other hand, brown can bring out
all the golden glints in brown hair
and eyes and tone down a sallow COM
plexion. The ordinary rule is that
brown in it's strongest shades is for
the brown-eyed and her gown
should be chosen to match her eyes,
but it is always we'll to try the effect

In lni Garb

In olden times. when a girl grew up,
They tied her with ropes of gems.
They shaekled her ankles and wrists
with ore.
And they crowned her with diadems
they soaked her tresses in perfumed
oil.
They rubbed her with paste and
things,
Then brought her forth, as a queen
befit
To rivet the gazes of kings.
But nova dip in the tumbling waves
With a rest on the sands between.
A linen skirt, and a sailor hat
And--she's Just as much of q
queen!

The SMALLPOX Danger,

The health officials all over the
country are calling the attention of
the people to the danger from the
spread of smallpox. 1t is cold
weather disease. In summer, when
there is free circulation of air, a
spread of the disease is not to be
greatly feared, but when cold wealth
er comes, and the houses are closed,
the conditions are favorable for
development. Experience has shown
that smallpox is persistent, and needs
watching all the year.
There is no occasion for alarm
about smallpox, diphtheria or any
other contagious or infectious disease
in Oakland. The death list shows
that this is healthy county. But it
will not do to attempt to fight a con-
tagious disease after it makes its
appearance. The proper course is
that now being pursued by the Health
Board-that is to have the conditisns
such, by means of wholesale vaccina-
ton, that smallpox can take no hold
in the State next winter. 1t is the
duty of every good citizen to cooper
ate in every possible way with the
Health Board in this matter.

man who has the biggest wad is to
get the prize.
But still, even with the vast sums
hoped to be raised in this manner,
the ring leaders are very respondent
and have no hope of carrying the
State. Their party is divided within
itself. the heelers and ring workers
are snarling at each others threats,
and the greater portion of the better
element, the citizens who a, e for good
government and against corruption,
have declared themselves as utterly
opposed to the ring and its tactics.
The condition is one that ex-senator
German and all his slick, smooth,
oily lieutenants will find impossible
to overcome, and to-day the outlook
for good government is bright. All
good citizens have reason to feel en-
couraged.

for miles, there a beautiful rolling
plateau leading gently down to the
lower levels of the country through
which mountain stream is quietly
vending its way to join the mighty
deep. The convenience of the tele-
graph and of the telephone and of the
good markets have changed many
things in the past twenty years. The
advantages of living in the country
from the standpoint of health, par
ticularly in this spring, summer and
autumn, are selfeyident. For the
children the country is the ideal
place for development.

Democrats DeSpOndent.

The leaders of the Democratic ma
chine having conferred together on
the political situation in this State,
and having received the latest ad-
vices, Instructions and encourage
ments from the ''Big Boss at Sara
toga, are of the opinion that the out
look this fall is anything but promis-
ing for their machine. The condition
of affairs in Baltimore is such that
they realize that it is absolutely hope
less and they scarcely deem it worth
while to try to carry the city, the
prospects being so uninviting. They
will doubtless turn their attention to
the counties as they did in '97, but
there are good people residing in the
counties as we'll as in Baltimore, who
do not propose to allow the Demo-
cratic ring to regain control of this
State or to allow Mr.. German to go
back to the United States Senate.
This will make his fight as difficult as
any he has ever had. Taking the
situation as a whole, there is nothing
pleasing or agreeable about it for the
Gormanites. The Democratic ring
leaders are anything but happy. The
word is being passed along the line
for every one to pay up, pay up"
Money is needed, and lots of it, for
this is to be tight fight. If corrup-
ton is to win it must have the means
by which it can debauch the ballot
and corrupt the voter. No one will
be placed upon the Democratic ticket
unless he can make a satisfactory con-
tribution. The candidates for nomi-
nation offering the biggest piles will
get the places. Where there are none
who want the nominations, of course
the ring will force persons to take
them. However, when two or three
are striving for a nomination the
ring" says ''pay up, boys" and the
