CHARM OF GERMAN "CURES."
Watering Places Are So Sleepy They
Win One by Their Very
DuIIness.

Germany is a strong and well-regu-
lated country. The wonder is why we as
a nation frequent it so much. The pro-
prietor of our hotel attributes it to the
fact that 'ze English drink too much
champagne at home; Zey come to Ger
many to get we'll" Which is about the
truth of the matter, writes "A Countess"
in London Outlook. Champagne for
dinner and supper every night for three
months is apt to play havoc with the con-
stitution of the strongest, and since most
women find it impossible to keep up the
pace without it, they have to pay the
penalty sooner or later. Whether 1t be
due to champagne or nerves or gout or
any other of the ills to which flesh Is
heir, Germany at this time of the year
is full of English and Americans doing
water cures. What with the quantity
have imbibed and the quantity which
descends from the skies the world at pres
ent seems largely composed of water
and with a continuation of these condi-
tions l should not be surprised if we
should eventually get water on the brain.
The great charm of this sleepy German
watering place is it's very dullness. Once
a year at least the heart of even the most
hardened society woman pines for
period of rest, when she can cease from
waving her hair and let what mind she
possesses become a blank. When the
only excitement is new arrival at the
hotel, or the fact that it is another wet
day, life grows extraordinarily simple
and ones brain reposefully vacant. To
eat and drink, sleep and walk, take baths
and go to church on Sunday is the whole
duty Of woman when going through the
cure. There being nothing else to do,
we do it all assiduously.

THE WOMEN OF POLAND.
Are Fervidly Patriotic and rake
Great Pride In Their Fine
Hands and Feet.

Polish women are renowned for their
beauty, for the perfection of their hands
and the smallness of their feet. They
place the fineness of the hands above all
other charms Il regard my hands, not
my face" said one, and it is reported in
Warsaw that the Vienna shoe dealers
keep a separate case of shoes for the deli
cate feet of their Polish customers.
Polish ladies maintain that when they
shop in Vienna and show their small feet
with the high instep to be fitted, the
tradesmen exclaim, 'Ah, those are Polish
feet!'
But their pleasure in this distinction
is not so much matter of personal van
ity as of satisfaction in the superiority of
anything belonging to their country.
For they are fervidly patriotic. They
adore their country and hate her tyrant,
Russia.
The lady of position rises between IL
and II in the forenoon, and goes to bed at
o'clock the next morning. She drives
from one visit to another, but in reality
she is laboring all day for public inter-
ests. Everything, the founding of Ii
brary, a hospital, sewing school, is
made to strengthen the Polish cause.
Four ladies do not eeu on charity COM
mittee, says George Brandes. without
taking some measure, under that inno-
cent pretext, for the national benefit.
AS a consequence of this charm and
spirit, the women of Poland receive from
the men a courtesy amounting to hon.
age. The greatest consideration for them
is a commonplace of daily life. Men al
WAYS rise in a tram-car to give lady a
seat. At any public place chair may be
ruthlessly demanded of even the most
distinguished official present, with the
sufficient explanation. For lady"

Eject of Civilization.

The serious problem of the civilization
of the red man sometimes develops an
amusing side. "Bob-tail Coyote" was
sent to a government school from his
reservation in the west clad in buckskin,
and speaking only his mother tongue.
He remained during the stipulated
time, gradually becoming white man
to ALI intents and purposes. But no
greater transformation was manifested,
when he returned to his people, than that
of his name, which had evolved from the
savage "Bob-tail Coyote" to that which
appeared on his neatly engraved visiting
card:

At Lone
Elm Ranch
By Thomas p. Montfort
Copyright, 1908. by Daily Story Pub. co..

IOHN CONARD, owner of Lone Elm
III ranch, was young, healthy, wealthy
and prosperous. To all outward ap-
pearances he should have been one OF
the happiest of men. He was, how
ever, anything but that.
Back at his home in the east he had
met Mary Morgan and fallen in love
with her, and, though not word had
passed between them on the subject,
he w.s confident that she understood
his feelings and reciprocated them.
Under ordinary circumstances there
should have been nothing distressing
in this; but, unfortunately, the cir
cumStanceS were not ordinary.
Mary was the wife OF another man.
While a person may not be able to
govern his feelings he may, If he is
strong enough, govern his conduct.
This was John Conards view, and he
acted accordingly. When he found
that he loved where he had no right
to love he came out west and buried
himself away from the world. He felt
that it would be best for hem both
that he and Mary should never meet
again and that neither should know
anything of the other. Perhaps in time
they might learn to forget.
One day, five years after Conard
came west, he rode slowly across the
broad brown plain. He was thinking.
with his head bent, and his thoughts
were of Mary. He thought OF her
beauty, her loveliness of character and
of q
grinding life with a cruel, drunken
husband With all his heart he wished
that he might have the right to pro-
tect and shield her, and devote his life
to making her happy.
But it can never be-" he told him
self Never now"
Before Conard there was an aban-
doned claim" with a little cabin on
it. The cabin had long been vacant,
but now, when he raised his head, he
saw that it was occupied. He fell at
once to wondering what kind Of peo-
pie the newcomers were, and think
ing how pleasant it would be to have
them for neighbors if they were nice.
Presently a woman came out into
the yard and, placing one hand on the
fence, stood looking pensively away to
the east, her face in full view. Conard
pulled his horse up short and stared
in doubt and amazement. For a mo-
ment an electric shock numbed him,
then the blood rushed tumultuously
and a great wave of joy swept over
him.
"My God!" he cried, 'it's Mary!"
He started forward and just then
she turned and saw him. Invol-
UNFAIRLY she stretched her hands out
toward him and gave little, glad cry
which he did not hear. If he had ever
had a doubt of her love for him he
had it no longer.
But suddenly there came shock
that sent his blood cold. A man in
the cabin had heard her cry and had
come out to her and put his arm about
her protsctingly. Conard saw and

Costa Rica is mountainous country,
and consequently some portions are
not naturally adapted to machinery. In
the level parts the land needs to be
cleared of rocks and the roots of trees,
which in this tropical climate grow to
a great length and make it necessary to
use great care in breaking up the soil to
avoid running the plow.
