Growing Old.

A little more gray in the lessening
hair.
Each day as the years go by;
A little more STOPPING in the form,
A little more dim in the eye.
A little more faltering of the step
AS we tread life's pathway Ger,
And a little nearer every day
To the ones who have gone before.
A little more hating of the gait,
And a dullness of the ear:
A growing WEAKNESS of the frame
With each swift passing year.
A fading of hopes, and ambitions, too
A faltering in life's quest,
And a little nearer every day
To a sweet and peaceful rest.
A little more loneliness in life
AS the dear ones pass away;
A bigger claim on the heavenly land
With every passing way.
A little further from toll and care,
A little less way to roam:
A drawing near to a peaceful voyage
And happy welcome home.
William Todd Helmuth.

Beauty and the Bath.

When the woman who has refused
to keep pace with the world looks SOL
EMMY at you and shakes her head,
when she say: My dear, you battle
much too often; you are washing away
your vitality, take her out some fine
day where she can see society on dress
parade and point out to her the fine,
handsome specimens of young woman
hood you will meet at every turn and
tell her that toere she sees the result
of frequent bathing.
In nearly all the appointed pri-
vate houses is bath for each bed
room. Generally there is more than
one kind, for the shower bath is one
of the luxuries of the up-to-date wom-
an. In every gymnasium there are
bathing facilities, and every clubhouse
is similarly equipped. In the country
where life is primitive, the morning
bath obtains, even though it is founded
on nothing more pretentious than a
bowl of cold or warm water and a big
sponge.
Today the woman who considers one
bath week sufficient to keep her in
health and beauty is in danger of be-
ing shelved and as a compliment to
Baltimore it may be said that very
few of our women do it.
A tender little baby is bathed daily
and clothed in fresh, sweet garments.
This habit is kept UP until the child
is able to go about. Then the careless
mother changes her methods, and the
bath comes not oftener than once a
week. Habits which made the health
of the child are no longer considered
advisable, principally because they
mean work.
That a little girl might be taught to
do this for herself through pure love
for cleanliness is never taken into con-

The aII-triumphant song of love!
Sister Violante DeDen
How Mark Twain ApoIogized.

At one time of his life Mark Twain
(Samuel L. Clemens) had for his
neighbors Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe
and her daughters. The great humorist
had habit of often running in to see
them in shabby costume, much to the
disgust of Mrs. Clemens.
One morning, as he returned from
Mrs. Stoves minus necktie and collar.
Mrs. Clemens met him on the doorstep.
There, now" she said, you have
been over to the Stoves again without
a necktie! It's really disgraceful the
way you neglect your attire!"
Her husband said nothing, but went
up to his room. A few minutes later
Mrs. Stowe was summoned to the door
by a messenger, who presented her with
small box neatly done up. She opened
it and found a black silk hectic, accom-
panied by the following note: Here
IS a necktie. Take it out and look at
1t. l think stayed at your house half
an hour this morning. At the end of
that time you vii lkinly return it, as
it is the only one have. Mark Twain

soUANDERED BLESSINGS.
Ws often tire of what seems vain er
deaVor

VS. often tire of what seems vain en-
deavor
For happy things, and think the
world goes wrong,
And wonder if our plans must fail
forever,
Till minor chords prevail in Hfe's
sad song.
And the fair flowers growing in the
meadows
Through which our pathways lead
us day by day
We do not see, because our troubles
shadows
Hide all that's beautiful and bright
away.
We spend today in dreaming of to-
morrow
And, when tomorrow comes orr
hearts will lay
Plans for the future, thinking Ger in
sorrow
The squandered blessings of the yes
terday.
We, fail to learn the lesson of our
losses;
We grasp at things forever out of
reach,
And grope our way through shadows
bearing crosses
Made out of bitterness of thought
and speech.
We lose the little joys of life forever
In longing after what we cannot
gain,
And by and by, when Hope says sadly.
''NeverI''
For what we's missed we sigh-but
all in vain.
If we could take life's blessings as we
find them,
Making the most of bright or cloudy
Departing, they would leave content
behind them,
And vain regret would no more vex
our ways.

FASHION NOTES.
For the Home seamstress.

To make a pretty and comfortable
petticoat, cut the skirt about quarter
of yard shorter than walking length.
Make it the same length all around.
Sew this on the machine. Sew on the
hem a plated silk ruff1e, cut on the
straight of the material. about SIX
inches deep. On the edge of the plated
ruffie sew a narrow bias ruff1e about
two inches deep. Do not set the ruff1es
on the skirt proper as the skirt is cas-
Ter to walk IN, wears better and rustles
more if the ruffies are set on the bot
tom. Small plaits are prettier than
large ones.

learning how to use glycerine. and have
moro to learn yet. It's principal use is
to prevent evaporation of fluids from
the skin, keeping it moist and soft. A
tablespoonful-tha is, half ounce-of
glycerine to a six-ounce bottle of face
lotion prevents it from drying and
gives the skin full benefit of the liquid
Glycerine is better as hair tonic than
as a face wash. Two ounces of glyce--
rine, two of filtered water and two OF
alcohol or cologne, shaken together,
form an excellent lotion for massage

liquid applied to the head an inch or
two at a time, and the scalp rubbed
vigorously with the fingers till the fluid

Lovely Woman.
New Orleans Picayune.)

Beware of demure woman. They
are always dangerous.
A woman who has in her the saw
agery of the devil may also have in
her the sweetness of the saint.
Why should a woman everlastingly
want to be man? To take the rough
and scuff of life? Little fool! Why
isn't she content to sit on silken cush-
ions in her glass case and feed on
nectar of roses? Why does she cry
for her ''rights?" 1t is her right
to be mans comfort, mans solace,
mans holiday.
Every man needs some woman to
hang on to his coat tails to keep him
from going to the devil.
A man loves woman because she's
woman. A woman loves a man for
the want of something better to love.

Hot milk is the newest panacea for
all complexion ills. If the face be
wrinkled, sallow or otherwise afflicted,
not milk, says the enthusiast over this

washed with milk at night, feels won

becomes very white and soft.

FRIDAYS

Pierre, S. D., Jan. 3l.-The long lease
school and public land bill took a set
back Friday when a joint meeting
OF all members residing in counties
having public lands voted against the
withdrawal of any OF said lands from
sale.
This EXPRESSION is in opposition to a
bill which provided for the withdrawal
Of so per cent of the endowment and all
of the school lands, and Il %torty-nine
year lease.
The matter was supposed to be prac-
tically agreed upon, but this action
has thoroughly disarranged the pro-
gram. 1t is also a bad omen for the
anti-frce range bill, which has been oc-
cupyinS a prominent position for the
past two days. The stock interests are
prepared to give the bill a hard road to
travel, ana appear to be making some
Roadway in a%rTaying sentiment against
it.
Williamson has cut the amount of
The special appropriation bill for the
Madison normal school from $S7, 900 to
SAC. 1000, and the board OF regents has
recommended the bill favorably.
The senate has passed the house bill
granting a section of land at Hot
Springs to the national government,
md the house passed four bills, one in
rreasing the maximum fines for VIOLA
lion of city ordinances to $50; appro-
priating $4S4 for a deficiency in the
executive office; one relating 10 the
publication of special assessment no.
tees In cities OF the first class, and
one granting city authorities greater
power to suppress illegal processes.
Also, n bill providing for a classified
assessment of live stock.
Ten bills were introduced in the
house and ten in the senate. Among
them Is one by F~reiburg, providing an
appropriation for sheriffs transporting
prisoners to the penitentiary; by Rob-
ertsOn. prescribing punishment for Sc
duction; by Bottum, fixing the pay of
county commissioners at 81 per day;
by Moody, for protection OF large
game, by Gerharl, valued policy in
surance bill; by Hay, annulling exemp-
lions as to mechanics liens, doctor
hills and board bills.
