The Pittsburg detective was at Louis
Bovet's farm early the next day. He
had two strangers with him. and his
coming seemed TO surprise the farmer
and displease his wife and son.

The farmer said he had c.ly one well

one In the cow lot, and that the new
one and the cistern was just alongside
the house In the side yard.
Mcknight set his men 10 work drain

had brought out. He expected some
objections from the wife, but she
seemed so pleased 10 lend a helping

the well. She bade Henry take turns

The Empire scarf.

Tall. slenier women can wear 10
advantage the new Partisan article OF
dress called an Empire scarf
Strange TO say, it IS Of velvet. Very
long and very broad is the Empire
scarf. For its entire length It is Dor.
dered with dark fur. The ends are
also fured. One breadth Of velvet is
used. There are no seams in this scarf,
and the selvedges are firm enough
without a turned hem TO receive the
fur border. a narrow strip Of coarse
black net is the best foundation for the
fur. Then the net is applied 10 the
scarf.

Tie nights fatigue, the fever-fret OF day,
Are far below thee; and earth's weary
wars,
In vain expense Of passion, pass
Before thy sight hike visions in glass,

Across the sea and leave no trace

So brie>appear the conflicts, and so slight
The wounds men give, the things for

Uplifted in the loneliness of light
Beyond the realm of shadows-hne,
And far, and clear-where advent OF the

Means only glorious nearness of the stars,
And dawn, unhindered, breaks above the

That long the lower world in twilight

Philadelphia Times.

Philadelphia Times
Remember, son, that the world
is older than you are by several
years. that for thousands of years
it has been full of smarter, better
and younger men than yourself
that their feet stuck out of the
dormer windows, but when they
died the old globe went jogging
along. and not one person in ten
million went to the funeral. or
even heard of their death. BE as
smart as you can, of course. Know
as much as you can, without blow
ing the packing out of the clyir-
der heads. Shed the light of your
wisdom abroad, but don't dazzle
people with it. And don't i'm
agine thing is SO, simply because
you say it is SO. Don't be too
sorry for your father because he
knows SO much less than you do.
The world has great need of young
men, but no greater need than the
young men have of it. Your
clothes fit you better than your
fathers fit him-they cost more
money, they are more stylish; your
mustache is neater. the cut of your
hair is better and you are prettier,
oh. far prettier than pa But
stop moment, young man and re-
fleet, The old gentleman gets the
biggest salary and his homely
scrambling signature on the bust
ness end of a check will drain
more money out of the bank in five
minutes than perhaps your hand
some autograph can do during the
balance of your mortal life. Young
men are useful and they are also
ornamental, and we all like them
but they are no novelties, son-oh
no, nothing of the kind; they
have been here before. Don't be
go modest as to shut yourself clear
out, but don't be SO fresh that you
will have to be put away in COOL
er to keep from spelling. Don't
be afraid that your merit will moi
be discovered. People all over the
world are looking for you, and il
you are worth finding they will
find you.
