Sleep, little papoose, the night shades
are falling:
Slowly the darkness blots out the
great herds.
See! The big moon in the treetops
beholds thee.
Still are thy brothers, the beasts

Watchhres burn dim against the
night sky.
Here meath my blankets fold warmly
I hold thee;
Hush, for the slumber chief now
draweth nigh.
Sleep. little councillor, braves with
out number
Wait for thy wisdom in peace and
IN war.
Strong must thy limbs grow, 0 sac

guards thee:
Day may be restless but slunlber is
deep.
Here in my blankets fold warmly 1
Clasp thee;
Councillor, son of mine, love bios

Lockjaw and the Fourth.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Cleveland Plaln DealeT.
The public is again indebted to the
Journal of the American Medical AS
sociation. which for two years has
collected statistics of Fourth of July
accidents. The returns are now COM
plete. All cases of lockjaw superln-
duced by wounds suffered while han
ding toy pistols and the like have by
this time developed and run their
course. This year los cases OF tetanus
were reported, in 81 of which death
resulted. In u cases the injuries were
due to blank cartridges. This record
is gratifying when compared with
that of last year, when AIS lockjaw
cases were reported, all but seven
proving fatal. There is little differ
ence, however, between the grand to-
tails of accidents for 1903 and 1904
4,44o and 4,16o, respectively.
The journal quoted finds that lock-
Jaw due to other than Fourth of July
injuries is rather more prevalent this
summer than usual and that last
years record of Fourth Of July
deaths was not above the average Of
recent years. Hence it feels war
ranted in inferring that the gratifying
improvement shown by this years
statistics is due to the campaign OF
education carried on for year past;
that it can be attributed to the warn
ings given by the public and profess
sional press, which resulted in more
stringent legislation and more care
full and prompt medical treatment OF
accidents.

Russian Optimism.
Atlanta Journal

And now comes Russia, beaten and
battered and on the run, with word
of hope and encouragement. What
ever her critics may charge against
her. let it be known that Russia as
nation possesses optimism to a de-
6 zee that is positively refreshing in
ese days where the pessemist holds
forth in almost unchecked riotlngs.
While official cables come bIrdened
with details and descriptions OF jap
anese victories, from darkest Russia
darker than usual because Of her
reverses-is heard the hopeful voice
of the optimist who dries his tears to
announce that better days are COM
ing. Russia tells her weeping sub
iects that all has not been lost In
fact, says the War Office. its not half
as bad as it could have been! Cheer
up, for Stakelburg, with his $4,000, has
escaped; Kuropatkin and his vast
army have an open road to Mukden;
the Japanese are simply wearing
themselves out. Such optimism in
the face of the pathetic scenes of
bloody defeat is unusual even in ma
tons. But it may be the best way

ton, both colored, were hanged in

An Old Woman's Cure for Dyspepsia


.:The most remarkable thing that
has ever occurred to me in my earth
= " career" said Eugene McKelsey,
occurred some years ago when l was
afflicted with dyspepsia. I. had bad
case, I assure you. Oh, l was all
broke up. Food was disgusting. l
had no appetite, and | just walked
around looking for some place to lay
down and die. Some time passed, and
I grew worse. I saw myself phys1-
cal wreck, and try as I might I SIM
ply couldn't revive appetite nor am
bition. Finally I ran into an old wo-
man, kind of witch I guess-old
women are always witches when they
dress in faded garments and predict
to you-who said that I would get
we'll if I should go to certain farm
and three times a day cast an ear OF
corn to white pig and then listen to
it to eat. l do not believe in such
rites; but, dear me, was so sick that
I was willing to try anything.
$50 I bought white pig, secured
a pen for it within the mentioned farm
limits, and daily made three Journeys
with an ear of corn that I threw IN
and then watched the pig eat. Well,
do you know the sound of that pig
crunching and sucking those corn
grains made me hungry. Oh, enjoy
ed the sensation so much, 1t made
me ravenous. When.I returned from
my walk I wanted to eat. So con-
tinued visiting the white pig and eat
ing three good meals day until
was myself again and as healthy as
I an now. I don't care to under
stand the whyness of it now. l am
only too glad to be well."-St. Louis

A slate, with pencil attached by a

Before plucking fowl, place the

greatly lightens the labor of pluck

New Matinee Model.

One of the newest models for matt
nee is on the order of the ld-fashioned
polOnaise. 1t is fashioned of white
crepe, with Mechlin lace insertions. A
circular fiounce edges the entire matt
nee. Fagoting is also employed in
joining the seams. The sleeves are
open and very full. They reach to the
elbow.
Another pretty model is a shorter
style, in the dOlman shape. This matt
nee is fashioned of blue crepe, with
valenciennes trimmings. The sleeves
are continuous with the back--indeed
| the entire garment is in one great
| square whose points fall in the back
the front and over the arms.
Still another jaunty little model Is
shown in still shorter length, com
ing hardly to the hip line. This little
matinee is of pale pink louisine, with
| Mechlin lace trimmings. 1t consists o,
a very full front and back and elbow
sleeves very full. The entire garment
is almost entirely hidden, however, by
a deep collar, deliberately trimmed
with lace of the louisine, which falls
to the edge of the matinee and prac
tically conceals all but the full fronts
1t is Iow-necked and very dainty.

two bodices embroidered in cut steel
beads One bodice, cut very low and
without sleeves, has for its sole trim
ming a deep steel fringe forming ber-
tina and sleeves through which the
waistline is clearly defined. The other
rather loose bodice was eased into
2 steel belt and edged with Chinchllla.
This could be worn as a coat, open or
closed. and the steel trimming was
carried all around just inside as well
as Out--a form of trimming which pre-
vailed last winter. All the incest fur
coats are finished in this way.
Another of the newest velvets was
in blue and white shepherds plaid
made with the plain, full gathered
skirt, and simple cross-oVer bodice

New Years Day has been o day OF
ceremony and rejoicing for great
many centuries in the worlds history
Its origin is traced back to the Roman
festival of Janus, after the establish
ment of the empire. The old Romans
divided the year into ten months only.
Numa Pompilius added January and
February, and dedicated the former to
Janus. 713 B. C.
TITS he! The two-faced Janus comes In
view:
And SundropS. rivals of the morn.
He spurns the goal aside,
But smiles upon the new-emergtng year
with pride.
And now uulocks, with agate key,
The ruby gates OF orient day"
On this day the Roman consuis fol
lowed by the court, went to tn" cap
ttal, all gorgeously apparclcd, where
uey sacrificed two white bulls, never
yoked. to Jupiter CapitolimIs.
The Romans had two New Years,
the sacred one. which was the 1st of
March, and the civil ore Of which we
have just spoken, the lsr of January.
The Jews had a sacred and civil
year; the former began in March or
April. the latter in September or Oc-
tober. varying with the lunar period.
The early Greeks had no settled year;
when one was finally adopted, they
commenced it at the vernal equinox.

Dainty little cakes for the afternoon
tea may be baked in tins of fancy
shapes, iced, sprinEIed with broken

calls for an equal weight Of eggs,
flour, butter, and sugar. Cream the
sugar and butter together very thor
oughly Then drop in the eggs one
by one, beating each after it goes in
until the mixture is very foamy. After
the beating has made the batter as
frothy as possible, fold in the flour.
Bake this cake slowly. Otherwise it
