Then, summoning his friends, ne cut

Before taking a bite himself, Gustam

The Origin of "KickerS"

Il believe that the origin of the ex-
pressive bit of slang 'kickers' may be
found in the very lowest form of
occupation any member of the human
race follows Mr.. W. M. Robinson
states.
Between Wormsley's and St. Hell
ems in Cornwall, is an underground
canal connecting the lower levels of
the coal mines at Wormsley's with
the surface station at St. Helen's,
which saves a great deal of money
for the mine owners in handling the
coal, which is simply loaded on the
barges in the mines and transported
by the canal under the mountains to
the harbor at St. Helen's. When the
canal was devised, however, how to
provide for locomotion for these
barges was problem.
Mules couldn't be used, and there
were circumstances which made
steam impossible, but an Inventive
genius finally solved the riddle by sug-

Making the Rosettes and Boui'lonnes.
To make the chic little rosettes
with which hats and boleros are so at
tractively garnished this year, says
the Delineator, take any large-sized
button, cover it with taffeta, put
cross-bars of velvet over the silk, and
then encircle it with a double putting
of taffetas that stands out and gives
the button the form of a cocarde.
The bouillonne or putting, which is
used on every sort Of gown, is made
with a band of taffetas hemmed on
each side with a tiny velvet ribbon
and gathered to form puff through
the middle.

has been worn, add to the lace ruff

Inc things Ger which we grieved with
lashes wet
VIII flash before us out Of 1ife's dark
night,
AS stars shine most in deeper tints of
blue;
And we shall see how all Gods plans
were right,
And how what seemed reproof was
love most true.
And we shall see that. while we frown
and sigh,
Gods plans go on as best for you and
me:
How, when we called, He needed not our
cry,
Because His. wisdom to the end could
see;
And, cen as prudent parents disallow
TOO much Of sweet to craving baby
hood,
So God. perhaps, is keeping from US now
Life's sweetest things, because it seem
eth good.

Odd and FanCiful Idea

An odd and fanciful idea is advanc-

in which she gives her reason for her
"discovery" as 'the CON ing of Semi

a cute, furry little kitten, and SO the
owner of this dainty feline says:
1T has long been my belief that
fairies are the little s. ouls of some
thing. At first I was pu uzzled to know
of what, but since tfe coming of
