The Initiated.

All that I lov'd before you came,
Delight and laughter, song and flame:
The tender beauty of the fow'r,
The seasons ripening hour by hour:
Exquisite night and rose-fush'd morn.
h sm amd gold OF waving G9r 1
Are dearer now because Of you.
AS one who scans wondrous screen,
Painted in scarlet, gold and green,
And lauds the loneliness of line
And color blend in it's design;
I look'd on all the show OF things,
Before the spirits secret springs
Were touch'd by that which makes US
With Natures heart-with stars and sum-
All! now sweet springtime' messengers
Shall find my lips as warm as hers!
I. too, am thrilrd with that same strife
Whereby the woodland fow'rs have life,
And you shall garner in the words
I softly speak, those songs of birds,
And winds, and waters, never dumb,
That spake Of you ere you were come.

A HEART STORY.

Folsom, S. Dak.-In these days
when so many sudden deaths are re-
ported from Heart Failure and vari.
Gus forms of Heart Disease, it will be
good news to many to learn that there
is never failing remedy for every
form of Heart Trouble.
Mrs. H. D. Hyde of this place, was
troubled for years with a pain in her
heart which distressed her a great
deal. She had tried many remedies
but had not succeeded in finding any.
thing that would help her until at last
she began a treatment of Dodd's Kid,
ney Pills and this very soon relieved
her and she has not had a single pain
or any distress in the region of the
heart since. She says: II cannot say
too much praise Of Dodd's Kidney
Pills. They are the greatest heart
medicine 1 have ever used. I was
troubled for over three years with a
severe pain in my heart, which en-
tirely disappeared after a short treat
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills"

The man uttered an imprecation,-- At
the first sound Of his voice Alan
thought that it was familiar to him.
He gave a start. "Hutchinson!" he
cried: The man looked up. A CLEAN
of recognition lit UP his drink-sodden
eyes, and with the recognition there
came, too, CLEAN of hatred.
Its you!" he cried, and he swore
again.
"Yes,"' said Alan, "and I am sorry
to see you like this. Can I do any
thing for you, Hutchinson"
do anything for me? You? I'll
trip you yeti" cried the man, his
hatred flashing like knife. DO you
think have forgotten how you got
me turned out, how you ruined me?
No! And I will be even with you yet
if I hang for it! And there's that girl
OF mine, too! always thought that
you had a hand in her disappearance!
I will be even with you yet, my fine
young man,
WELL" said Alan, coolly, II would
have helped you if you would have let
me; not that regard your threats. It
was your own dishonesty and nothing
else that was your ruin. And as for
the girl, you are right there. l mar
ried her, and she was drowned: but
she was no daughter of yours, and
you knew it."
Hutchinson's surprise got the better
of his caution. II brought her up,"
he said, "even if she was not nv own.
In way she was mine. And so YOU
married her, did you? And now you
say she is dead.''
She is dead, poor SOUL" said Alan.
"Died in the wreck of the Valparaiso
four years ago; and I'm to be married
again. I wish you would let me help
you, Hutchinson"
An evil sheer crossed Hutchinson's
face. Married again, are you? Soon?
Well, 1 will wish you joy, you and
your bride. You may have an unex-
pected guest at your wedding. al
though 1 am not quite sure. We will
see what way things will go. Good
by, my fine gentleman!"
He left Alan with a curious sense
that something untoward had hap
pened, although the young man could
not say what it had been.

HISTORIC Atmosphere.

Motive Is the Ground Color for His
torical Pictures.
Unless an author can maintain, with
out deviation, from the first to the last
pages of his book, the language Of the
period of which he writes, his work
will be better, his pages Will be more
easily read; and whatever true atmos-
phere he may be able to create in other
ways will be more convincing If he
writes in the language of his own
times. No books have a stronger fla
vor of their own period than the D'Ar-
tagnan romances, we'll translated into
modern English. 1t were as we'll for
an English author to attempt to give
German atmosphere to story of Ger
man life by writing it in broken Eng
lish, as to attempt to give old-time fla
vor to an old-time tale by writing in a
tongue composed of both the old AMI
the new. If am right in my conclu-
sions, atmosphere may be impaired by
facts and language, subject to the con-
ditions above stated. These two meth
DDS, although generally attempted,
more frequently fail than succeed.
Novels wherein old-time phrases and
historical facts only are relied upon to
give old-time color are accepted with
out question, perhaps, by those who do
not know the period of which the nov
els treat, or do not care to analyze the
question. But to an tnquiring mind,
knowing the period, such a novel as to
its atmosphere is usually as disap-
pointing as wet gunpowder. It is from
the setting of the story and from the
acts, motives, and methods of thought
of the characters that true atmosphere
may be impaired. What the charac-
tiers are made to feel, do, and say give
real atmosphere. What they say is the
important matter; not how they say it.
Motive is the ground color for all his
torical pictures. There is no period In
history of which we have a complete
view. At best we can only catch
gllmpses of the environment of men
and women who have preceded us and
who have faded into the dim hazy
light OF the past We have but frag-
mentary pictures, that come to ia in
sections, like the picture-b blocks of a
child, with many parts missing. Those
parts which we lack we try to fill in as
best we can, guiding our hands. as we
draw, by the parts we have.-Charles
Major IN the June Scribners.

HAS A SAY.

The School Principal Talks About
Food.
The Principal of a High School in
a f1ourishing Calf. city says:
For % years worked in the school
with only short summer vacations.
l formed the habit of eating rapidly,
masticated poorly which coupled with
my sedentary work led to indigestion,
liver trouble. lame back and rheuma-
tism.
Upon consulting physicians some
doped me with drugs, while others
prescribed dieting and sometimes ]
got temporary relief, other times not.
For IL years struggled along with
this handicap to my work, seldom laid
up but often burden to myself with
lameness and rheumatic pains.
Two years ago met an old friend,
physician who noticed at once my
out-of-health condition and who pre-.
scribed for me an exclusive diet OF
Grape-Nuts, milk and fruit.
II followed his Instructions and in
two months felt like a new man with
no more headaches, rheumatism or
liver trouble and from that time to
this Grape-Nuts has been my main
food for morning and evening meals
am stronger and healthier than I have
been for years without a trace OF the
old troubles.
Judging from my present vigorous
physical and mental state I tell my
people Methuselah may yet have to
take second place among the old men,
for I feel like will live a great many
more years.
ITO all this remarkable change in
health I am indebted to my wise

Ingredients of Toilet Soan

The basis of the better; qualities of
toilet soap is generally curd or yellow
soap, in the making of which special
precautions are taken to insure alb
sence of free alkali. This is most i'm
nortant, as otherwise the soap would
be altogether unsuitable for toilet mr.
poses, the free alkali being injurious
to the skin. This is the reason whv so
many of the cheaper laundry soaps
produce chapped hands and similar
results when used for toilet purposes.
If, on the other hand, there is an ex.
cess of fat, the soap is greasy and does
not possess the cleansing properties a
good soap should. A laundry soap may
be made without much difficulty By
an. amateur. but it lis better to buy
whatever toilet soap is required. tor
the reasons stated, and also because
special apparatus is required to make
