from its olden charm and embellished

unusual advantage in the second ring.

AUNT PATTY,S WHEEL.
Family Treasure That Was
Her Mainstay.

A northern lady who went south
with pocketful of money, in the
hope of picking up precious antiqui-
ties, visited the old Hampton estate.
There, says the New York Herald,
she found magnificent mahogany fur
niture. mirrors from England and
France and priceless bits of cut glass.
But none of these treasures was for
sale. Their present owners cling to
them, not i'm the least for their
value, but as links which bind them
to the past.
Even Aunt Patty, an old negress
who lives in little cabin among the
ruins of former outhouses, has her
own loyalty to her small belongings.
She has served the Hamptons all her
life. On the day of the northern
lady's visit Aunt Patty was busy at a
quaint old spinning-wheel.
wont you sell me that wheel,
Aunt Patty?" pleaded the visitor.
"No'm," mumbled the old woman,
shaking her head. II spins de yarn

To every inducement she shook
her head.

Later, the visitor heard from a
colored woman the state
of Aunt Patty's finances.
''Oh, she don't want for nothin'!"
was the woman's comment. "Why,
sometimes she gets as much as a dol
lar a week."

MORE BEAUTY DoE'rs


Don't be afraid of sunshine. Curs-
tive powers are in the chemical rays
of the sun, and they rejuvenate.
Don't think Of the complexion only
and fear tan and freckles; they can be
removed. The sun Is one of the most
efficient of all surgical methods in the
treatment of morbid growths, AZ
warts, moles and all parasitical skin
diseases.
Don't use borax and rose winter to
remove tan and freckles without put
ting on little cold cream afterward,
for borax makes the skin dry.
Don't use soap on the. face oftener
than once day. Night Is the best
time for thorough cleansing.
Don't use cold water when giving
the face cosmetic scrub. Warm wa
ter, followed by dash of cold water, is
better.
| Don't try 10 put cold cream on a cold
skin, or the absorption will not be
thorough.
Don't despise the humble lemon.
With the juice of lemon and the
beaten white Of an egg, milady, brush
in hand, may touch up her freckles in
the seclusion of her boudoir, and no
one be the wiser.
Don't forget that vinegar will enad-
icate yellow stains from the face.
Battle the bruise at once with vinegar
and discoloration will be prevented
Don't have "a shiny nose and fore
head, because it is warm weather. Use
little cologne or spirits OF camphor
in the water when bathing the face.
Don't wash your face in cold water
the moment you reach a washstand il
you have been travelling. Remove
traces of dust and smoke with cold
cream, and wipe Off with soft towel.
Don't be afraid of the flesh brush or
glove. Friction rouses the circc.ation
and restores tone and color to the skin.
Don't expect to cure an eruption on
the face by external applications only.
A hot foot bath, containing washing
soda, will often cure this trouble.
Don't be afraid of using little rice

DIt is stated that the democrats and

They have such a close resemblance to
each other-particularly In that state
that It would probably be impossible
to sort them out, anyway.-Philadel-
phia Press.
DThe only matter Of consequence
in the action of the Iowa democratic
convention is the ignoring and virtual
reputation Of free silver. Two years
ago II reaffirmed the Kansas City plat
form in whole and in every part. Its
present action shows feeble sort OF
attempt at reformation. The demand
that "the integrity of the money of the
nation be guarded with jealous care"
might be construed as demanding new

partment Journal.
DThe same dispatches that bring the
news that Mr.. Bryan bitterly denounces
the action OF the Iowa democrats also
brings the news that the outcome In
Iowa has greatly stimulated the Cleve-

Roosevelt and Miss Alice Roosevelt,

Chartran talked about his work in
a strange way. ignoring his important
pieces, and lauding to the skies those
that were of comparative insignifi-

THREE YEARS.

Home, Home again since yesterday
And home. thank God! to stay.
And yet II hardly seems to me
That 1 have been away.
Old friends I used to know are here.
Old scenes i used to know
Are just the same as what they were
Those three long years ago.
But what fearful dream that was.
We hewed us out a road
Through tangled jungies. fever stepped
While slowly past us flowed
The Kagayan In tawny flood.
And down its oily tide.
From Moro strongholds up above.
We saw the corpses ride.
In Mindanaos Businesses
Where cholera takes toll,
And where the sultan's beaten slaves
Rend gladly up their soul.
We built broad fair wagon road
Ger which to draw supplies
And still see the dead float by
And see their staring eyes!
And tonight must drive along
A road used to know.
And past the trysting tree where she
Said "Good-bye! years ago
To me and to her brother Tom.
When we two went away.
I'm home again. but Tom-poor Tom
He sleeps In Tar Panay!
And will tell the tale again
In that old ingle nook.
And will hold her trembling hand
And meet her mothers look
Toms mothers look!-and i will see
Toms father bent with woe
] marvel that all this has Mapped
Since three short years ago!
Last night / dreamed I was at home
And walked up with a cry.
And there / was In my old room!
The moon without was high.
My mother and my father stood -.
Biside my bed in bliss,
And that which / had thought a dream
Was my own mothers kiss,
And things to-day seem much as they
Were those three years ago;
The farm looks to me as IL did,
I hear the cattle low
But there's a stronger bond of love
Between us all, and they
Look love to me through tears for Tom
Who sleeps I'm far Panay.
