A WHITE oak forest at sunset, when
u the almost horizontal rays creep
in between the gigantic trunks, making
them look like Cathedral pillars and
the light growing softer every moment
turns them a lovely rose color, as
though it fell upon them through rare
old stained windows.
What blessed relief and change
from city life, this beautiful stiffness,
this apparently limitless silence, only
broken now and then by the quick cum
ming movements Of a bushy-tailed
squirrel, or now at the lovely hour of
twilight, by the soft tender call Of the
wood pewee.
He tramped on, with the dogs at his
heels, enjoying to the full all the beau
ties of the time and place. Tired ?
Yes. But, Oh! the difference between
the healthful woodland tired and that
of the harrassed man Of business, or
worse yet, the hunted favorite of So
ciety.
No one knows where he has gone,
He stopped as Jack gave muffied bark.
and looked up to see a vision never TIC
be forgotten.
In little clearing, just ahead, where
the last rays of the now nearly de-
parted sun fell full upon her. stood a
young girl-her head uncovered and
the sunlight making of her golden hair
a halo.
plain brown dress, while from her arm
hung her daisy laden sun hat. q
She bent over something alive in her
hands and the face she raised upon
hearing footstep approachingw was so
full of sweetness and the spirit Of the
woods that he thought, perhaps, she.
too, might futter away, or dart behind
one of those great trees, as did all the
other wild things. But no she was not
afraid of him as they were.
"Did you shoot it?" she asked, and
drawing nearer he saw that it was a
wounded bird that she held in her
hands. ST don't think it is much hurt"
she continued, not appearing to notice
that he had not answered her question
Haven't you piece of string that we
could tie up it's broken wing with?'
String? Oh yes-feeling in his pockets
The dogs pressed close around her
and the bird in her little brown hands
futtered in fear of them. sect down
Jack! go away Man," commanded
their master, and then carefully fol
lowing her directions, he tied up his
victims wing.
''And now," she said, when that oper
alton was finished, ''we must find the
nest and put it in it, so that nothing
will kill it in the night"
He thought it all over that night
when he lay in his hammock out under

ministered to without impairing it's
dwelling place.
''You are not well?" he would say,
and she would smile and answer, chat
she was tired-a little-but that when
summer came she would be quite her
self again. And the summer came
and yet, although there were days,
when after long drives in the sunshine,
she seemed to be once more as she had
been, still, to the eyes of love it was
all too plainly to be seen that she was
growing more frail and more lovely
every day.
eve must go to the mountains" he
said, ''the doctor believes the balsam of
the pines will give you strengthc:' And
SO they settled themselves, like two
migratory birds, up among the pines
and hemlocks.
How like one of his old tramps this
was, he thought, as he returned at sun
set from long lonely ramble and he
wished as he never wished for any
thing in his life before that he could
give to her some of the glorious
strength these woods filled him with.
He made his way to the large sunny
room, from which she seldom stirred
now, and entering found it filled with
the rosy light of sunset, streaming in
from the broad est windows and fall
ing in radiant cloud upon the little
couch drawn in front of them.
1t fell upon the white face and gave
it back the look it wore when first he
saw her.
The nurse bent above her anxiously
and when he looked at her inquiringly,
she answered low, 'Not quite so we'll
as yesterday, but she was pleased to
have you go for little walk and after
you were gone she slept for little
while"
Presently the large eyes opened and
were raised to the agonized face, bend
ing over her, but they did not see him.
Suddenly she rose up, as though quite
strong, and stroking some imaginary
object in her hand she said sadly:
"Poor little bird your wings are broken
and he was cruel to break them birdie.
but he did not mean to, and see, he will
try to fix them, but I-am-afraid-y
will-never-fy-a-."

Those who are engaged in construc-
ton work agree for the population and
size of Lancaster there is no other
community in Wisconsin where SO
much substantial progress is being
made in the matter of erecting new
business and residence houses, a pro-
gress which has been hampered only
by the difficulty of obtaining in time
lumber, brick and architectural iron.
That Lancaster has grown substantial
ly within. the last few years may be
substantiated by visit to the outlying
districts by the new houses to be seen
on every side and others in process of
construction. Nor do these houses go
begging for tenants, proving with the
increase of houses that there must
have been an increase steady but
sure-in the population, creating this
demand for places Of abode. There
are no vacant business houses, and as
for desirable residence houses, they
are not to be had for love or money.
"House to Rent" placards are seldom
seen. Take into account the fact that
a few years ago there were blocks upon
blocks without house there, or one
here and there at long intervals Of
space, and then behold how these
empty places have been filed up, and
it is no exaggeration on the part Of
him who has not visited these outlying
districts in long time when he says,
IT feel lost; | hardly recognize the
place." Lancaster is growing per-
cept1bly, and there has not been time
since the boom when in population
and in substantial expansion the pres
ent stage of improvement has been ap-
preached, with this distinction, that
the boom growth was feverish and
based on fictitious values, while the
present expansion is a healthy one
predicted on conservative valuations.
Not alone is this expansion observable
in the city but in every industry in
county.

A philosophic observer remarks that
the people who begin their houseclean-
ing early and avoid the rush don't
have toswait for the calciminers and
paperhangers- which is very true.
But by beginning early they take the
chances of exposure consequent upon
open doors and windows in raw
weather. which is apt to bring on colds
and pneumonia. housekeeping is q

things whichever of two diverging
courses one takes regarding it, she is
pretty sure to wish she'd taken the

This is a pretty good old world after
ALL We complain sometimes, and some
times we become fancy, but however
we come, we sooner or later reach the
conclusion that if we had the making
of the world in our hands we could not
have improved on the order of things.
Every day, every hour, every minute,
willing hands, honest hearts and busy
heads are toiling, praying and planning
for each others comfort and welfare.
Great minds and noble hearts are do
ing their utmost to bring about the
happiness of humankind. Men, women
and children, froms the field, the fac
tory and the fireside, are making little
sacrifices for each other. We think,
some times, that the world is wicked,
hayward and wanton, because we see
so much that is not as it should be,
but could we see one half Of all that is
good, all that is noble and all that is
true ON earth, we take more cheerful
view of things. But we don't see IL.
Every individual has within him the
power to make himself, as we'll as
others happy, and if we all do our best
and let time do the rest we will feel
better-and that is something's, as
Lieut. Governor Davidson would say.

PICTURES WITH MOVING EYES
Portraits of Christ That Have the
Reputation of Possessing
That Popularity.

English art lovers are still raptur-
ously acclaiming ''The Christus," by
Herman Solomon, on exhibition at the
Dore gallery, in New Bond street, Lon
don. This picture is not without it's
merits. 1t is head of Christ, modelled
upon the Tuscan school of the fif-
teenth and sixteenth centuries, but
deriving a secondhand inspiration
from AIRY Scheffer's essays in pre-
Rapha elite art. The face has, solemn
and dignifed beauty which indicates a
thoroughly reverent spirit on the part
of this artist. For this it may be
praised, even by connoisseurs, says
the Chicago Record-Herald.
None the less, what attracts to it the
special attention of the half educated
in art is the fact that the eyes are ex-
amples of what is known as moving
or 'winking" eyes. Seen close they
appear to be open. Seen at a distance
of 20 feet or so they appear at first
sight to be closed, but to the more
intent gaze they are open again. Now,
il this phenomenon be an accident it
indicates lack of technical skill on
the part of the painter. If intentional
it is cheap theatrical trick which is
entirely unworthy of an artist who re-
spects his art.
Nor is it a novel accident or a novel
trick-as the case may be. In the
medieval ages pictures of this sort
were not uncommon. The supersti-
tious mob hailed them as miraculous
pictures, and in course of time at
tributed them to celestial agency.
Sometimes they were said to be paint
ed by an angel who took advantage of
an opportunity when the mere mortal
painter was asleep to finish his picture
before he awoke.
In confirmation of this apostolic or
angelic origin miracles were always
sure to be worked before the altar at
which the so-called miraculous pic
ture was exposed to view. A notable
instance is afforded by the eleventh
century head of Christ which has this
popularity of moving eyes. 1t was for
merly enshrined in the Church of the
Santa Maria del Miracoli, in Rome.
The present pope-a man of great
breadth and wisd om-was annoyedl
by the preponderance of superstition
that the ignorant accorded to the pic
ture and consequently had it removed
to Santa Maria in Monticello, a tinv
church in an obscure quarter of Rome.
Another example of the same trick
or accident occurs in the thirteenth
century fresco preserved in the Saints
sima Annunniata church in Florence.
1t is known as the ''Winking Madon-
na," and is preserved behind the altar
of the chapel of the Virgin of the
Annunciation, in the nave to the left
of the entrance. The picture is usual
ly covered with cloth, and is only
exposed to public view on the feast of
the Annunciation or other festivals
especially commemora tive of the Vir-
gin Mary. For centuries it was a
shrine SO highly reverenced by Cath
Ollie christendom that princes and no.
bles sumptuously decorated the chapel
in silver and gold.

CURE FOR HAY FEVER.
Hall & Cheney Say HyOmei Will Give
Relief--SOld Under Guarantee.

The season for hay fever is almost
at hand and many people feel that
they will be obliged to leave town in
order to avoid sneezing, watery eyes
and other annoying symptoms of this
disagreeable summer disease.
Hall & Cheney wish us to announce
that when Hyomei is used, either as
preventive or cure, there will be no
hay fever. They advise the use of
Hyomei daily for two or three weeks
before the usual time for the annual
appearance of hay fever. In this way
the attack will be prevented. If how
ever, the preventive treatment was
not started soon enough and the dis
ease comes on, use Hyomei six or
seven times daily and also rub Hy-
omei Balm thoroughly in the nostriIs
both morning and night. This treat
ment will relieve at once and give a
speedy and permanent cure.
Hyomei actually brings into your
own home, a climate filed with Czone
and healing balsams, the same air
that one breathes at the White Noun
tains or other health resorts.
There is no stomach dosing when
Hyomei is used. 1t is Natures own
method for curing all diseases of the
respiratory organs, and is breathed
through a neat pocket inhaler that
accompanies every outfit, so that the
medicated air reaches the minute.t
air cells, killing all germs and sooth-
ing and healing the irr tated mucous
membrane.
1t ia the only treatment for hay fe-
yer where Hall & Cheney guarantee to
refund the money if it does not give
satisfaction. All who are subject to
hay fever should begin its use at once
so as to prevent the disease.
