A Bartender's "Don'ts."

A veteran bartender who serves hot
weather drinks to men in and around
the Stock Exchange attributes his pop
ularity to a few "don'ts'' fc- the hot
weather that he listed some years ago
and rigidly adheres to, says the New
York Press.
The first one he said to a friend
is don't drink behind the bar. It re-
qu!res nerve to refuse a good custom
er, but once take a firm stand and YOUR
rule is respected. The second is, don't
drink at all. A barkeeper who is a to-
tai abstainer never lacks a job. Don't
tell funny stories. Don't speak until
you are spoken to. Don't get into the
habit Of running your fingers through
your hair. Don't scowl at a man who
looks as though he feels hot and un-
comfortable enough already. Don't get
into the habit of addressing your Gus
toners as Colonel Don't suggest a
drink to a customer, even IL you are
sure you know what he is going to
order. Let him tell what he wants.
Above all, don't talk politics"

From Dust to DuSt :"

How dark. how rich and full the sum-
mer night,
What warmth about them brooded.
while the sea
Murmured low song, and passion
throbbed to peace!
The soft airs curled around them, the
great boughs
swayed slowly with long rhythms OF
And sleep was but Inconsistencies of
joy.
Then, sphered in light, at last the
great god came
The god who gives the sweet o. the
year to earth,
Who guards the worldwide curve of
lovely lines,
RipenS the white wheat, pulpS the
purple grape,
God of the sacramento bread and
The leopard-skin upon his shoulders
hung,
The ivy twined his yellow locks, and
like
The sunshine splintering on a spear
his eye,
And like the sunshine on the heart
of a flower
His smile. AS beautiful as dawn he
And called with strange compelling
melody
This woman cast aside of dust that
dies.
And lingeringly, like one in dream,
she came
And found his arms a fastness. Lifted
then
She lay within the heaven of his
heart,
Suffused with all the godship of his
love.
The winds less free throughout the
courts of space,
Far from the doors of death he went
with her,
Filled her with essence of immortal
life,
And crowned her with crown OF
seven great stars
Yet in the tenderest moment or ms
care,
Though fragrant fire ran through her
with his touch,
Earth in her trembled to the pulse OF
earth.
Old thoughts, old memories stirreu
the soul that bore
The pearls dim flaw, the clay IN the
opal's grain.
And as black lightnings rive some
growing thing
She shuddered back among her clods
once more,
Signing through silent hollows of her
heart,

What Womcn's Clubs Have Done.

Even without the personal enlight-
eminent that counts for so much, Wo-
mems clubs have been potent factor
in determining public opinion. AS or
CARNATIONS, they have realized that
"in public opinion we are all legisla-
tors by our birthright." And in prac-
tice, they have found that they could
actually legslate by means of this
power. Legislative work is underta-
ken by all the State declarations, IN
urging and securing the passage or
laws that deal with the condition of
women and children. In Massachu-
sets, Connecticut and Illinois, the
State declarations have promoted the
passage of a bill giving joint and
equal parental guardianship to minor
children. The Juvenile Court Law has
been secured in California, Illinois,
Maryland, and Nebraska. The Louisi-
ana Federation has worked success
fully for the Probationary Law, and
i'm Texas an industrial school has been
established. Laws to raise the stand
ard of public morality, to segregate
and classify defective and delinquent
classes to secure the services of Wo-
men as factory inspectors, police mat
rons. and on boards OF control, are
other measures for which women
clubs have successfully worked.

the neglected resting place of the mar
tyr to the liberties of North Carolina,
Cornelius Harnett, is next visited and
an eloquent tribute paid to this noble
and devoted patriot, who paid for his
devotion by a cruel death. Besides
these and other historical bits of in
formation, Col. Burr gives as facts
we'll Vouched for, two most startling
and exciting traditions connected with
some of those who sleep under the
shadows of st. James. 1t would be i'm
possible to give an accurate idea or
these two stories without giving all the
details, and as that would make this
article too long, | find it necessary
to resist the very strong temptation.
There can be nothing more startling
nor more tragic than these two mi
raculous stories, both of which are
supported by unimpeachable testimo-
ny. Those who find interest in the
marvellous would do we'll to get copies
of this Monograph and read at least
Col. BurrS address.
Few, if any, publications on North
Carolina history have been of more
Importance than this Monograph. 1t
is pity that a number of errors crept
into it and were not discovered until
too late to correct them. But an "er-
rata" which accompanies every copy
prevents the reader from falling into
any of these errors and keeps them
from detractng from the value of the
publication. The future historian of
the Cape Fear, will find it necessary
to have a copy of this Monograph at
hand when writing his story.

In physique there was perhaps, not u

usual in women. 1t had, moreover, pc
culiarity distinguishing it from most heads

that it's contour was very regular. Usually
heads have here and there either fiat
places or slight hollows; but her head was

of many are signs of nothing more than
amusement; but, with her smile there
was habitually mingled an expression OF
sympathy, either for the person smiled
at or the person smiled with. Her voice
was a contralto of rather low pitch, and
l believe naturally strong. On this last
point / ought to have a more definite I'M

sang together; but the habit of subduing
her voice was so constant that | suspect
its real power was rarely, If ever heard.
It's tones were always gentle, and, like
the smile, sympathetic
OF course as we were frequently seen
together, people drew their differences.
Very slight evidence usually suffices the
world for positive conclusions; and here
the evidence seemed srong. Naturally,
therefore quite definite statements became
current. There were reports that / was
in love with her, and that we were about
to be married But neither of these re-
ports was true.
