vet will be without exception the ia. vorite material for winter modes. Con sequently no one can do better than use this lovely material for wrap combining warmth. lightness and con- siderable beauty. The old stiff mantle velvets do not appeal to many of us. They are too harsh to drape in the classical folds demanded in the wrap of the moment.
 Bell sleeves arc very popular for long wraps. and many are gathered into q wide cuff which is amply loose to slip over the sleeve of the gown and still protect the wrists.
 4 complete frock in brown is per haps the smartest costume. A recent model had round skirt with about six rows of gaugings below the waist. The blouse bodice was also gauged and fastened on the side with acorn but tons. It showed an inner collar of wash muslin and a silk tie of pink and black spotted foulard.

6 Soul HdrrotUfne
 Experience o c Poef

ThERE was a merry poet once who
 on an autumn day sat down and
 chewed his pen awhile and spun an airy lay about the russet leaves that Ait where'er the zephyr whines and said, Ut will be finished when I've written eighty lines.
 For am paid for all the work I do with airy grace according to its merit ne'er, but all the time on space, and when at 9 per line this thing I set afioat I'll have the shining shekels cinched to buy an overcoat."
 And so he apotheosized the quail and pumpkin pie and touched the south bound goose that goes a-honking down the sky. likewise the squirrel that ex- plores the tree from bough to root and sent 1t to the editor instanter on the scoot.
 Oh, while he sat and waited for the precious little thing to see the light of day he'd drum upon the desk and sing. q soon shall have an overcoat that like the blanket feels a-hanging from my ringlets to my patent leather heels"
 When finally the pome appeared he wore a look of pain and looked quite like the shanghai that's been standing in the rain. because the wicked editor had fractured his repose by setting up his jingling as ordinary prose.
 "Ah. mer' the poet murmured in a frenzy of despair. the while he wrung his hands and mauled his long. artistic hair Instead of S20 now, as far as I can see. my little lay in prose will bring me only dollars three"
 Twas then he groaned and gnashed his teeth and flew, frantic thing, a-frothing down the stairs and to the walk upon the wing and wooed the creamy Wurzburger which ger the poet wooes and quite forgot the over coat and bought pair of shoes.-New York Times.

Legend of the Looking Glass.

Who ever heard it stated that the
looking glass was first invented to spite
a pretty woman? And how would it
be possible to spite woman by show
ing her perfect reflection of her own
dainty self? Well, according to Japa-
nese mythology, the deity presiding
over the sun and furnishing light to the
world became infuriated at some trifle
and hid herself away in cave thus
depriving humanity of very neces-
sary element In order to induce her
to come out the mirror was invented
and placed in the cave. The beautiful
goddess, seeing another beautiful god
dess within those narrow confines, i'm
mediately departed, and the people
took care that never again should she
enter the precincts of a cave. And so
that most valued of woman's treasures
was invented for spite, but for what
a different purpose has it served!

Manners Maketh the Man.

That we are rushing, busy people
is no excuse for lack of manners"
1t is just as easy to be polite as impo-
lite and takes no more time.
Bad national manners are the result
of bad training or entire lack of it, at
home. If the wife and mother would
be very careful about her own deport-
ment, children would learn by example
the only true way to learn. Good
manners are the result of the refining
influences of home life and cannot be
acquired without practice in this way.
Culture cannot be simulated or put on
for occasions.
Samuel Johnson says, "The difference
between a well bred and i'll bred man.
is this-one Immediately attracts your
liking, the other your aversion"
Manners certainly cover a multitude
of other sins. A man may be poor,
homely, too small or too large, but IL
he is innately refined-for true man
ners are inbred-he will always at
tract. This is equally true of both
sexes. 1t is culture that maketh man-
or woman.-American Queen.

The car was crowded with shoppers,
each of whom carried the special brand
of headstrong and aggressive bundle
that shopping alone can yield The
women stood in various attitudes Of
peril and discomfort and made those
who sat still more uncomfortable by
jabbing them or half smothering them.
A tall woman, with angular bundles in
her arms and wrath I'm her eye, had
been torturing a small, shrinking man
during the passage from Fourteenth
to Seventieth street. There he arose
with what sounded like sigh of re-
lief. The dignified woman pushed him
back to his seat, saying, with smile
of grim satisfaction, Il have stood so
far, and | am perfectly able, sir, to
stand the rest of the way"
He subsidized with gasp, but at the
next corner he arose again. BE seated,
sir" she said. II do not care for your
seat"
He choked little, but managed to
sputter, "You can stand If you wish,
but this is two blocks beyond my
street must get off"
The other passengers smiled, but
there was an ominous frown on the dig
nified woman's brow, and it BODIED trou-
BILE for somebody at home.-New York

A story with "A Bad Moral.

In prosperous town in Mexico lives
a merchant whose wealth grew out of
combination of good luck and drunk
enness. An uncomfortable desire for
drink cost him position after position,
and he drifted down to Mexico and be-
came news agent. He sold lottery
tickets. He had to report on drawing
day what unsold tickets he had and
forward them. He got drunk the day
before one of the big drawings. Two
days later he sobered up and found
himself in possession of several hun
dred dollars worth of unsold tickets.
He did not possess $40 in the world.
He examined the list and found that
number of the unsold tickets had
drawn prizes aggregating $4,000 in
gold. He collected the winnings, paid
for the unsold tickets and took an oath
of perpetual total abstinence. That
was years ago. He has never touched
liquor since and is today a wealthy
man. The moral is bad, but the story
is too good to suppress.-New Orleans

OLD Coins From Old Mintn.

The mint house" in Boston existed
about thirty -four years. All the coins
issued from it bore the dates 1862 or
1862, tile same dies being used proba-
bly, throughout the thirty four years of
coinage. Some coins had been made
in Bermuda for the use of the Virginia
colony as early as 1914. Copper coins
bearing the figure of an elephant were
struck in England for the Carolinas
and New England in 1904. Coins were
also struck for Maryland bearing the
effigy of Lord Baltimore. A mint was
established in Rupert, VT, by legisla-
tive authority in 1885, whence copper
cents were issued, bearing on one side
a plow and a sun rising from behind
hills and on the other a radiated eye
surrounded by thirteen stars.

Pioneer Engineer Dead.

Stephen Maxwell, of Beaver Meadow,
who served longer continuously as a
locomotive engineer than any man In
the state, died at his home on Monday,
aged ss years. 1t was in 1910 that Mr..
Maxwell began life as a railroader on
the Beaver Meadow Railroad, line
that extended from the Beaver Meadow
mines to the Lehigh canal at Penn
Haven Junction. The traffic OF the
railroad was confined to the coal carried
from the mines and loaded from the
cars into boats in the canal. The Le-
high Valley Railroad was not built then,
and when it was constructed about ten
years later from Easton to Mauch
Chunk and from Mauch Chunk to Penn
Haven, it connected with the Beaver
Meadow Railroad.
Five years after Maxwell began his
railroad career he was made an engin-
eer and given charge OF the only loco
motive that ran on the line. Maxwell
was continuously in the employ of the
Lehigh Valley Company until he re-
tired in 1890, so that he served more
than forty years as an engineer.
When he first began as an engineer
the forests through which the Beaver
Meadow Railroad ran abounded in all
kinds of wild animals, including bear,
deer, foxes and wildcats and the loco
motive in running down the mountain
sides after night killed them at different
times. This was particularly so in the
winter season, when the animals sought
the tracks because of the warmth of the
cinders which fell from the frebox of
the locomotive.
Maxwell's engine also killed some
people who were walking along tracks,
but one of the saddest events in his
life was the killing of his own son, who
was employed as brakeman on his
train

HINTS FOR FARMERS


The average farmer labors under
many disadvantages. He cannot coop
crate fully with others in securing the
comforts and luxuries of life because
he lives somewhat isolated. The prop
per heating, lighting and plumbing of a
farm home are beyond the means of
many farmers. Very many farmers
will continue n travel mud roads be-
cause the expense Of good roads for all
highways is prohibitive. There is a
limit to the mileage of turnpikes that
can be built by the public. The illus
trations of the disadvantages of isola-
ton might be multiplied.
The average farmer does not under
stand his soil very well, and science
cannot help him as much as we get to
imagining. 1t tells him some things
and then says, After all, you must
learn by field experiment" And very
many feel unequal to the drawing of
safe conclusions from the experiments
they are asked to conduct The manu-
facturer sets chemist to work, and by
controlling conditions he gets what he
goes after. The farmer cannot control
weather and soil conditions and often
gets what he did not go after.
Farming isn't all jam" for major
ity of workers. 1t means industry and
economy in n degree our silk lined
friend knows nothing about. OF course
there are compensations. If there were
not, we would let somebody else do the
farming or let it go undone.-Al&l
Agee in Stockman and Farmer
