Loves Kiss.

Kiss me but once, and In that space supreme
My whole dark life shall culver to an end;
Sweet death shall see my heart and comprehend
That life is crowned, and in an endless CLEAN
viii fix the color of the dying stream.
That life and death may meet as friend with
friend
An endless Immortality to blend,
Kiss me but once, and so shall end my dream.
And then Love heard me and bestowed his kiss,
And straight / cried to Death: will not die!
Earth is so fair when one remembers this:
Life is but just begun-ah, come not yet;
The very world smiles up to kiss the sky
And in the grave one may forget-forget.

State

No part of woman's outfit is more
attractive or gives one a wider scope
TO display their taste than the sleeves,
for almost without exception they are
as dainty and original as nimble fin
gers and ingenuity can make them
Most of the new models have Paris for
their birth place There are so many
styles that it is bewildering to keep
track of them, and since they are all
so fascinating in one way or another it
is still more difficult to select a model.

WOMAN AND HER WORLD.
NOTES AND CHAT TO HELP AND INTEREST
A Mothers Thought.


Last night. my darling, as you slept,
thought heard you sigh,
And to your little crib crept,
And watcheda space thereby;
And then stopped and kissed your brow
For, oh, love you So
You are too young to know it now,
But some time you shall know.
Some time when, in a darkened place
Where others come to weep,
Your eyes shall look upon face
Calm in eternal sleep;
The vOiceless lips, the wrinkled brow,
The patient smile shall show
You are too young to know 1t now,
But some time you may know
Look backward, then, into the years,
And see me here tonight;
See, o my darling, how my tears
Are falling as / write;
And feel once more upon your brow
The kiss of long ago
You are too young to know 1t now,
But some time you shall know.

been cured of what he terms &C Rock in the
Stomach His case, which has caused
much widespread interest, has been the
topic of discussion at nearly all of the

His experience almost rivals the wonderful
surgical operation of year ago, when in
Sweden a mans stomach was completely
removed, and he entirely recovered. These
things merely go to show what can be done
with the digestive organs when the proper
means is available. Mr.. Warren has this

counts of the trustees of the will of

The Everett-Moore Syndicate.


Boston-It is said tnat the Everett Moore syn
dictate had placed between 100000 and $500
600 of notes in Boston, with the stock and
bonds of the various companies in which the
company is interested as collateral
The entrance of the syndicate into the tele
phone field was largely responsible for its pres
ent financial difficulties. Its traction interests
are extensive and are, as a whole, well paying
properties. especially those located in Cleve-
land. Toledo and Detroit.
The Everett Moore syndicate controlled COM
panies having a capitalization of over S50,000,-
600. 1t controlled through the Federal Tele-
phone Company twenty or more telephone COM
panies, principally in Ohio, some of which were
on paying basis, but in order to meet the Bell
Company il was necessary for the independent
companies to largely extend plants and the at
tempt to do this resulted disastrously, a case
somewhat similar to the Erie Telephone situa-
ton.
The Bankers syndicate will undoubtedly ar
range to extend the notes in the hope that the
traction companies will he able to pull the tele-
phone properties through but it looks now as
though the only hope for the future of the syn
dictate is divorce from the telephone compan-
les. This could probably be done at a sacrifice
sale to the highest bidder, probably the Central
Union Telephone Company. This would elm
mate the principal competition of the Central
Union from the field and the result of the OPP
Grafton of this company would act a danger
signal to other companies entering the same
field.

When a pastor so generally beloved by his
people feels it his duty to sever his connection
with them. it is most fitting that they, as
body, express to him their regret that he should

match the design in the center.
Floral designs have the preference

design being much like the others,

linens. Hemstitching is a feature of
the table covers, the napkins, the
tray cloths, carving cloths and tea
cloths. Doylies are not, as a rule,
hemstitched. but this year they are
shown both in embroidered styles
and in fringed and lace edged styles.
Centerpieces are made both round
and square, and match the dOylies.
Among the pretty and fairly ex-
elusive designs in table covers and
matched napkins is one of ferns. just
inside the hemstitchtd edge is a
broad row of the ferns turning
square at the corners, and inside this
row is a narrower row turning round
at the corners. The center of the
cover is plain damask linen save a
fern floral piece in the center. The
napkins match in a smaller design.
\ more pronounced design is in a
scroll pattern mixed with grasses.

Mauve and pink furniture is one of

with flowers.
Pretty nut bowls of wood, decorated
with burnt woodwork and resting on
three short supports, are not only de-
sirable but seem particularly adapted
to the use intended.
One of the prettiest plants for home
decoration shown by the florists is a
begonia with delicate pale pink blooms
that intermingle with the dark-green
leaves in a way that delights the eye.
The newest side comb is the horse
shoe comb and comes in light and dark
tortoise shell. Then there are combs
with rope-coiled tops and jeweled
evening combs that cost a small for
tune.
Superstitions concerning the opal
have evidently died natural death, il
one may judge from the many that
are shown. The demand for this lovely
stone is steady, and though the Hun
garian opals are the finest, many of
lesser value are used as settings for
brooches, rings, hatpins and stickPins
and are much sought.
1t is particularly noticeable in the
china shops that the Old-fashioned
white china with gilt is becoming pop
ular. These sets are almost duplicates
of the old-fashioned "tea sets" of our
grandmothers' early days, and come in
the old-fashioned shapes, made of fine
clear ware. OF course this ware is
costly, and therefore the woman who
has retained as a family heirloom her
grandmother's set is fortunate.

The perplexlng positions in which
spoiled children frequently place their
doting parents are sometimes more
annoying than humorous. A bright
boy in West Philadelphia brought a
smile of anguish to the face of his
mother the other day when the pastor
dined with the family. Master Tommy
was at the table, and he behaved pretty
well until the cake was brought in,
Then, before the clergyman had been
served, the youth suddenly lurch
forward and snatched the piece he had
sized up as the biggest. The hostess
was dreadfuuy humiIiated, and with
a distressed look said: ''Why, Tommy,
