She turned her head very slightly, so that the man behind her caught the mar rowing of her eyes with sudden anger apd the tiltng of her rounded chin.

 They had reached the landing stage where the boat was moored. The girl proceeded to take her place in it with the calmness and ease which only come Co her sex through practice and long suffer- ing. She was seated with the ropes in her hands, before she really looked up at the man who had followed her-into the boat by this time.
 You might at least apologize" she said.
 "I do apologize" he replied, Every humbly." His manner and the laughter in his eyes did not, however, accord who'll ly with such an attitude.
 "Well, really''- she began, but he in terrupted her.

 He was quite a genius at seizing his chances. He took her words as con cession and dipped his souls into the wa ter at the same time.

 "No, am not cold" she said as stiffly as she could.

His Birthd day.

Although unrivaled in the art of cross examination, on one occasion Lord Russell was distinctly beaten by witness.
 What Is your age?" he asked.
 'Is 1t my age you are askingT re piled the witness.
 "Yes, sir. Now speak up and be ex- act"
 And be exact! Well. of all the"-

 Her eyes were dancing. "Why don't you say such an exceedingly nice young man while you are about it?" she asked mockingly.
 'T will go one better" said he, with your permission. Such an exceptionally nice pairr And he bowed.
 "Ob. you are dreadful-dreadful" But [ she did not saS it as fact to be de- plored She looked away from the soft summer landscape down to the edge of her serge skirt, with it's trimming of braid and the fateful loop.
 "rhey do sew these so insecurely," she said. You haven't pin to spareT
 "It seems almost a pity" said he while she busied herself over it, "but I suppose it will be just as well now"
 The afternoon was, as he had said, de- Iightful, and his swift stroke left nothing to be desired. It was not cold, after all, and she never gave another thought to the cape until she saw it, when at last they got back, hanging deserted on the boathouse door, where her brother had left it when he arrived there, to find her vanished
 The brother and sister were very alike in disposition and took things lightly and as they came So he never openly re- sented her assertion. Perhaps, as her new friend pointed out, he, too, had his more than adequate compensation. This is just a story of the inevitable, for the man of resource was something of character reader. and he had looked at the girl before he stepped.
 She called it. in her kindest moods an anticipation. but he maintained that he gave the incident its most appropriate ti- tie when he named it "forerunner." And this it was.
 The weather favored them. and his visit heightened from a weeks end to a week and more-ample time for man | of such ready methods to win for himself | a girl not indisposed to be won. Thus his visit to the brother ended in his marriage | with the sister-an old tale. but often a very pleasant one.
 It was later in the season, and boating interests had given way to the necessity | of stocktaking in fashionable wearing apparel and discussions on the relative merits of new and antique furniture. q could almost wish," she said sweet | ly, "that it was possible to trim white satin wedding dress with braid in a sort of squiggly pattern of loops and turns"
 "If you contemplate having one loop pendent to trip me up during the cere- mony." he said laughingly. "I am of.
 "Then perhaps it is just as well to re. serve braid as trimming for serge and cloth" she said.-Chicago Times-Herald,

PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD
Met and Transacted Important Business
Wednesday Librarian Appointed.

The Public School Library Board
met at the Office of Supt. Williams, in
the st. Clair building. Wednesday af-
ternOon with Messrs. Moore and Bren-
an and Supt. Williams in attendance.
The business to claim the attention of
which were recently adopted by the
City Board of Education. These rules
prescribe the conduct of the library.
the restrictions in the purchase of
books eligibility of people to patronize
the library. but chiefly defines the re.
lation between the old public school Ii.
brary and the public library.
The rules were adopted and thus
formally completed the transfer of
books from the old to the new library
AS public librarian the Board chose
Miss Anna Stephenson, who has filled
that position with ability during the
existence CT the public school library.
The librarian was engaged until
September with an increase in salary
of $40 per month. The desire of the
Board is that the year be coincident
with the beginning of the public
schools, and it will be necessary in
September to select the librarian for
the ensuing year.
Fer the present books may be
drawn on school days within the fol-
lowing hours: to 1880 a. m. and
1890 to 4:3O p. m. On Saturday pat
rons may visit the library from to
1880 a. m. and from | to 2 p. m
These hours will be enforced and ii
will be much to the convenience of the
general public as well as the librar-
ian If they are observed. In order
that the reading public may be accom-
modated the request is made that all
such patrons call before o'clock in
the afternoon, as after that time the
school children, being released from
study, throng the room to the possible
inconvenience of other people who
can just as readily come earlier in thu
day.
When the removal of books is made
to the new High School building tht
library will be open two hours eacl
evening. New books are being receiv
ed almost daily and many additions o
standard and popular works have re
Gently been made, thus filling thu
shelves with choice literature. Two
hundred and fifty additional volume
have been shipped by the publisher
and are expected to arrive in tn
course of few days.
The Board thereupon adjourned II
meet next Monday night to conside
matters of Importance.

THIS is TALCUM WEEK.

iIIiO ~ lHLOOW ULEhI
Here is spring and summer weather
With their sunshine punched together
And in molten hunks they bring it,
And in bolt and chunks they fling it
At you, round you, on you, Ger you,
Wrap you in it, scorch you, score you
Till you feel the perspiration down
your spinal column trickle,
And your skin feels rolled up red hot
like slab of tripe in pickle.
This ad might run longer in this pa
per if the weather warmed up, but it's
thin enough to run 1000 miles in a
snow drift.
There's ticklish, prickly feelin'
In the summer heat that darts
Up and down, across and round you
In million, trillion smarts,
Well as if a billion jiggers
Were a-rutin' for their pickin's
And scratch and jab your hide at
Just like the very dickens.
On fat men and on babies
Girls, old maids and old ladies,
Sprinkle Talcum Powder.
Then it's say, July the middle,
When the skeeter's start to fiddle,
And the flies put on their frescoes on
the wall.
And the puppy wears his pants,
And the summer girl her glance,
But of course this is not exactly all,
Use Talcum Powder.
When the air is baked and dried,
Rolled in dust, and toasted, fried
Sizzled, frizzled
Till it's grizzled,
Through a sand screen it is drifted
Through a collander it is sifted
First to breath it.
Use
Talcum Powder.
But here I'll say
There's just one way
To keep off summer itches;
That's cool your skin
By wearing thin
Big shirtless waists and breeches
And
Dust yourself with Talcum.
I've had the nerve to buy so gross
but the prices hanging to it will put {
hump on it. All in elegant tins. Aliens
Famous Talcum, sc, 55c per doz. Per
fumed Violet 10c, for 25c. Menneni
