IN SHAKERTOWN

In Shakertown the people all
Shook late and early, large and small,
Some blamed their ills on their religion;
Some cursed the ague of the region,
Though on the cause they didn't agree
They shook with unanimity,
A traveller, as he passed that way,
With pity deep, to them did say:
"Oh, why in this sad state remain,
When here's a cure for every pain?"
Then gave each one-this is no myth
A bottle labeled "Wintersmith.'
'Twixt hope and fear each drank his share;
Was cured completely then and there;
And no more shake these shivering Shak-
ers;
They've grown as quiet as queer-clad
Quakers;
Each loves the other with love platonic,
And all praise Wintersmith's great tonic.

The Princess of Wales has quite a
large collection Of fans Of all de-
scriptions, both ancient and modern.
Among the collection Is Japanese

Empress Of Japan. and 10 trophy
that the curio collector would give a
large sum to possess. though II would
certainly cause some alarm II worn In
a modern dra wing room. This fan Is
u bout six times the size Of the ordinary
article. and Is made Of the brightest
scarlet silk. upon which are embrOid-
cred figures of various characters who
have been famed In the history Of
Japan. The embroidery work Of this
fan is said to have taken ten years
to complete. says Home Chat.
A fan frequently worn by the
Princess of Wales Ia one presented to
her by King Edward shortly after the
