FACE PAINTING.

Face painting is believed to have
been In vogue 1000 B. c., for We are told
that In the tombs of women belonging
to the oldest Chaldean civilization
Jumps of black coloring stuff, which
served to paint the eyebrows. were
found. The Bible makes several al
lusions to the use of cosmetics among
the women folk. We read of painted

arrival of Jehu at Jezreel and Jere-

says: I'm vain you paint the circle OF
your eyes with antimony. Your lovers
will despise you" We are reminded,
too. by modern writer that the
author Of the Book OF Enoch assures
us that even before the deluge the angel
Azael had taught the daughters of men
the art of painting the face" The
Biblical allusions to the vanities OF
women suggest that the modern love
of the rouge pot is too deep-rooted to
be easily overcome. and may. in fact,
be regarded as an inheritance from some
of the earliest peoples.-The London

We all love the flag of our country and feel it be-

as many stars in the "Unon" as there are States
in our country, and that whenever new State is

But who of us go out and, pointing to our ma

THE WOES OF A HERO
By L. L.

New pefils have been added to hero
ism by the action of st. Louis dam
sci. She hss established an embar-
RAISING precedent, and the victim of
the precedent was, sad to relate, Capt
Richmond =. Hobson. One would
think that starting one new fashion
i'll heroism would be enough for Cap
tain Hobson without having to be re-
sponsible for whole train of them.
But in this ease it was really not the
captains fault; ii was the girls. All
that the captain did was to go in
swimming for Iun, and he will proba-
bly, be very careful about even that in
future.
He was swimming in the Mississippi
River, and there was a yacht in the
neighborhood. On board the yacht
was the girl in the case. She called to
him from the deck to ask whether he
would rescue her should she fall over
board. As navy officer and South
ern gentleman Captain Hobson could
do no less than reply in the affirma
tive. The next thing he knew tho
maiden had tumbled herself over the
side and was struggling with an m-
commonly strong current. Clearly,
Captain Hobson could do no less than
save her life as-per agreement.
1t was fortunate that another man
beside the hero of the Merrimac was
swimming near by and lent his aid, or
the situation might have become even
more serious than it was, for the girl
was weighted by her clothes, the tides
of the Mississippi are not arranged
with view to making it easy for
would-be heroes, and the whole bust
ness was most unpleasant and wet.
When they finally were dragged |
aboard boat the young woman had |
tainted, and Captain Hobson was
badly used up.
Now, the question is, will this incl
dent be followed by others of a simi-
lar nature7 Is it going to be neces-
sary for heroes to hop into dangerous
river currents at a moments notice to |
save contiguous young women who
may happen to throw themselves in7
Cannot hero go swimming in a nat
ural way without romantic adjuncts
to his amusement, and the danger of
catching pneumonia? Has General
Funston got to fight shy of rivers for
the rest of his natural life, for fear
some adventurous girl will throw her.
self IN and expect to be pulled out
Life will assume a serious aspect for
heroes, especially those of the aquatic
variety, if this is the case.
1t will be worse for the married
hero than for the bachelor, since the
wife OF such celebrity will Justly
consider that she has done enough in
giving him to the service Of his coun-
try, without also deyoting him to the
whims of foolhardy girls. The dous- ,
ing which he may get in the river will
be nothing to the wet-blanketing
which his behavior will encounter at +
home. 8
Altogether, if the action of this st. i
Louis maiden is to establish a prece- I
dent, one would rather not be a hero /,
so long as the fashion lasts. II

Into my heart there steals song.
From whence it comes / fain would know.
Softly and low with soulful tune,

Into my heart there steals song,
Eehoing soft in the twilight's glow;
Where does it come from, shall learn soon;
How shall | tell, ah, how?
Teach me your song, singer so fair.
Does it tell of love or the hearts keen pain,
Shall the song soon cease still run on,
Growing more fair as the days grow long7
Teach me your song, singer 50 fair,
Tell me its story, is it -'hope Ill vaiu' ?"
Shadowing cares shall be scattered and gone

OLD ACE.

Can it be jest that thieving Time
Has stolen all our golden years,
Leaving but few to keep us here
Ere Death shall claim his share?
From out our treasure store has Tine
Taken our gold and left us tears9
We ask in trembling and in fear
Is there not one to spare2
Can ii be true that in his glass
The sands that run for you and me
Are speeding to the end
Shall we be called or will he pass
And. swift of flight and winging free,
Seek toll of other men2
We ask not back the stolen past;
Perhaps It's best that it should be,
For each sneh poverty must know
And each in turn must bear.
Lightly we held them and swiftly they passed.
Into the future could not see.
If all the sands have ceased to flow,
The days are just as fair.
With childish dreams of days to come,
Deceptive hope makes plans anew,
Reckoning not with Fate.
Plindy we speed along Life's way,
Heeding no dangers, fearing no ILL.,
Till the cry rings out ''Too late"
We ask not back the hours of pain,
Nor yet the laughter of our youth,
1t is too late to care
Reverse the glass; the sands are out,
The keen blade cuts the bending grain,
The fields lie bleak and bare.
