There is an hour when angels keep
Familiar watch DER men,
When coarser souls are WRAPPED in
sleep
Sweet spirit, meet me then!
There is All hour when holy dreams
Through slumber fairest glide;
And in that mystic hour it seems
Thou shouldst be by my side.
My thoughts Of thee too sacred are
For daylight's common beam:
I can but kaow thee as my star,
My angel and my dream;
When stars are in the quiet skies,
Then most I pine for thee;
Bend on me then thy tender eyes,
AS stars look on the sea!

THAT the house trolley-a clean and

rooms, with its own motor-will become

Albert Bigelow Paine. In Worlds Work.
SAFER than a steam yacht, less depend
ent than q houseboat; cheaper, cleaner
and far more pleasant than q private
car that is hauled by steam and dropped

reached he will select pleasant sur
roundings to make his sojourn.
II must not forget the trolley fisher
man. Fishermen are always irrespoh-
sible, but the trolley fisherman has out
done in responsibility anything here
tofore recorded. With rod and line and
bait he simply sits and rides, or ex-
changes fish tales with the conductor
until the water is reached. Then he gets
OF and fishes. n-he has luck. we'll and

car that comes along and rides and yarns

look after, no tedious waiting for trains.

happen, with swift, safe and pleasant
conveyance at hand. I flshed most of
the way to Chicago, and l shall fish all

TO DEVELOP THE CHEST.
Easy Way by Which to Increase Bast
Measurement Two Inches
- in Three Months.

The neck and chest can be developed
finely in three months by the following
rules: 80
AS you walk about raise the shoulders
quickly and then throw them back and
then down. Count quickly as you do it
1-2-3-raising them to l and SO on.
After going through this three times or
more, you are ready to walk properly.
Keep the chest out and be careful each
time not to let the shoulders come for
ward at the last COUNT. They must
70 down and back, If anything.
As you walk, continually keep tho
chest pushed out and the abdomen and
stomach forcibly drawn in. See how
long you can hold your breath, and, as
YOU hold it, raise the chest; higher and
higher. This Is what singers do when
they wish to sustain long passages in
one breath.
When you find you must exhaust your
breath, do not let the chest fall, and take
the breath instantly and quietly through
the nose only and by pushing out the
sides. Then instantly begin slowly draw
ing in the sides and abdomen and raise
the chest higher and higher.
Any one who will try this will increase
in measure from shoulder to shoulder
and around bust two inches in three
months. Inter Ocean.

migrated to the west, where he had led
q rather adventurous life, until finally
settling down as a school teacher in
an Iowa town. But he found it lonely.
he said, very lonely; and it was feel
ing Of homesickness which had brought
him back to his native village, only to
find his brother dead and his nephew,
who occupied the old homestead, al
most stranger to him. He was now
thinking of going back to his western
home and his school.
Everything here is changed" he said
with a sigh. II miss the old faces. and

have changed" I remarked.

changed. Even the furniture and the
pictures"
Az he glanced around the room, his
eyes fell upon the portrait Of Miss Hes
ter Place, above the mantelpiece, and
noticed an instant change in his ex-
preston. He looked at It for moment;
and Louise, who had not observed what
did, inquired II he had known Miss
Place. and II the likeness were good?
Every good. very good, madam. 40

AUTOMOBILE SORE-EYES.
Indamation Caused by Ra pid Passage

ways.

It has been noticed that those who
ride much in automobiles are subject
to inflaumation of the outer coat of
the eye, known as the conjunctiva. This
form of Inflammation is called conjunc-
tivitis, says Medical Talk for the Home.
It produces q redness and soreness of
the inner side of the lids, both upper and
under, and on the white part of the eye
ball. A watery discharge occurs. the
veins are enlarged, and other disagree
able symptoms Of sore eyes are present.
1t Is caused by the rapid passage
which hurls the particles of dust in the
air Nth great force against the eyes, as
well as cooling and drying the eye un-
natu tally by the rapid motion.
Wearing goggles in a measure will
operate as a preventive. But in spite
of this precaution many cases of auto
mobile sore eyes do occur.
Those who have been in the habit of
INDUCING themselves in envy because
they could not afford to ride in automo-
biles can at least have the consolation
that they are not liable to be afflicted
with automobile conjunctivitis.

HOHENZOLLERN DEATH DICE.
Relic OF Historic Tragedy Presented
to the Museum by Emperor
William.

The German emperor has presented
to the Hohenzollern museum the ia
nous death dice." by the help Of
which one of his ancestors decided a
difficult case toward the middle of the
seventeenth century. states the Berlin
correspondent of the Express.
A beautiful young girl had been
murdered, and suspicion fell on two
soldiers, Ralph and Alfred, who had
been rivals for her hand.
Both denied their guilt strenuous
ly, and torture failed to extract q con-
fession from either Of them. Prince
Frederick William. the kaiser's an
cestor, ordered dice to be brought in
order that the two soldiers should
throw for death. the loser to be exc
cuted as the murderer.
This trial by chance was conducted
with great pomp and ceremony, and
the prince himself attended to super
intend the appeal of divine interven-
ton, as he regarded It. Ralph had the
first throw, and he threw two skies,
thus obtaining the highest possible
number.
Alfred fell on his knees and prayed:
almighty God, Thou knowest that l
am guiltless; protect me, I beseech
Thee" Then he threw the dice, and
with such force that one Of them broke
in two parts.
The one that remained unbroken
showed six, one part Of the broken die
showed six and the second part of the
broken die showed one, giving total
Of thirteen, or one more than Ralph's
throw.
The whole assembly was filled with
establishment at the wonder. Ralph,
regarding it as sign from heaven,
confessed his guilt, and the prince, ex-
claiming, God has spoken!" SEN
fenced him to death.

away on a visit to a friend, a very
dear friend, whom he had not seen in
many years, and before his return We
would have left the, village.
1t was two years later when we again
visited Onanoke; but we did not now
occupy the Place cottage. Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Groby lived there, we were told,
and when they called upon us very
shortly after our arrival. We were sur
prised to find, in the wife of our former
friend, Miss Hester Place.
She was a charming little lady, pref
ty still, with her sweet face and. silvery
curls: and as for her husband, he
looked ten years younger than when
we had first seen him, and as happy as
an old gentleman of 60 can well look.
We all became very good friends,
and one evening, when we had been
invited to tea at the cottage and Mr..
Groby had not yet come IN, his wife
spoke Of their marriage.
"some people thought it ridiculous
for two such old folks to marry" she
said: but when l found how much he
stood in need Of help and comfort. and
when I remembered how much we had
suffered"
Here she faltered and tears sprang to
her eyes; but she resumed frankly:
"You must know that we were en-.
gagged in our youth-Arthur and I. But
we quarreled-it was my falkland
when I broke of the engagement h.

him know how felt it. Besides, l was

and for a moment there was silence.
Il know" said Louise, softly. You
never got his letter-that letter which
slipped behind the mantelpiece."
And Just here Mr.. Groby came in,
bright and cheerful; and his wife well
coined him with smile as she rose to

Turning Point of q Debate,

A debate was being engaged in be-
tween Hollander and a German, each
defending his respective country. The
contest was held in q church. Dutch
and German flags we're draped from
pulpit and organ. The German thus far
had the best Of the argument. To break
the monotony Of the fierce debate the
audience sang America" Vibrations
from the great organ affected a portion
of the German nag, which had been in
securely fastened to a gas fixture, and
the Teutons' proud emblem sank to the
door. Opportunity had come for the
Dutchman and he seized it. His wit
won for him the verdict of the audience.
In defiant terms he asked of the Ger
man:
III your nag cannot stand before tie

Euporean sisters. The American wom-
an is recognized the world over. The
type is besides found in bewildering
variety, yet each is unmistakable. The
blending Of many familiar types of
American womanhood in the composite
photograph reproduced herewith af-
fords unique opportunity for judging
the typical face.
Familiar as the type. or rather
types, are. few perhaps can call up a
definite mental picture Of the general
type itself. The composite face of
American women, therefore. fills long
felt want. A score or more of artists
have patronized the American girl.
The drawings are almost always in
teresting, many Of them are charming
and all may be readily Unidentified as
the American girl, yet no two are alike
or even similar. No other country in
the world, it 10 safe to say, affords
such an opportunity to its artists. In
England, for instance, there is a we'll
known type Of beauty. somewhat pale
and expressionless, perhaps. but I'M
mistakable English. And there is only
one. In America there is often single
family in which every daughter H.
illustrates an entirely distinctive beau
ty, yet without losing the family re-
semblance.
The composite photograph combines
% far az possible the most character
istic types of American beauty as IL
Illustrated by twenty well known New
York women. 1t is too much, of
course, to claim that the list is COM
plete, but it IL at least fairly represen-
tative. Nor can it be claimed for
such blending that the ideal type of
American beauty has been attained.
SO varied and distinctive are the types
that hundreds of types would have to
be considered in such Z balance The
composite face, however, is as general
and representative as it we'll can be-:
Compare 1t with the typical beauties
Of other countries, allowing for the
lmpressionistic effect inseparable from
such picture. and the result to the
most critical eye cannot fail to be re-
Sssu1'nts2a sQr a sa2chc: syft.4-sle.
The American woman ~ portrayed
In her composite photograph contrasts
strikingly with the typical faces of
other countries. The face Is perhaps.
less nervous than that of the typical
French woman. especially the young
French woman, but to the American
eye, at least, it seems better balanced.
In contrast with a characteristic Eng
fish face the difference is especially
marked. The two faces express an en-
tirely different mentality. The Amer
lean woman, set beside her English
cousin, suggests wider and more varied
Interests and an unmistakable air of
independence which strangely becomes
her. Compared with the typical
Teutonic face, the American woman
appears the more alert and
vivacious.
Among those whose photographs
make up the composite are Miss Helen
Morton, Mrs. Chauncey M. Depew
Mrs. Payne Whitney, Miss Alice Roose-
welt, Miss Nathalie Schenck. Mrs
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr.. and Mrs
John Jacob Astor. - Kansas Civ
