settler came over in 1884.

The girl lifted the parasol and picked
up the pipe.
Here is your pipe" she said, holding
it out to him.
He looked at her curiously as he
took it.

stood gazing down at her.

She gave him no answer.

Paper doilies and lace mats are also
Indispensable, and are considered
smart to use on plates at a reception
or luncheon. They come in plain hem
stitched, drawn work, Irish crochet,
teneritfe, or with a lace edge. 1t is diff
f1cult to tell them from the real article.
Paper handles for chops. game,
chicken, turkey and also croquette and
pie frills, are little luxuries which are
useful to add to the attractiveness Of
the table. They cost trifle, and if
only used on occasions please the Cye

Aside from table decorations, there
are many other useful things which
should be added to the list of necessi-
ties. few rolls of plain and decorated
crepe paper will be found handy in
fashioning homemade cases and in
making costumes and favors for the
cotillion or party.

Folding paper garlands afford a de-
sirable decoration for childrens par
ties, and for booths at bazaars. These
come in all colors, including the vari-

walls, unsightly columns and dark

in public halls.
Paper garlands, folding novelty

which is popular for children's birth

sias. A medieval spirit pervaded the
Russian Church and largely the life OF
her people al the beginning of his
ministry, and by his unique methods,
his life and his personality he made a
deep impression on the people. His
fame spread, healing powers were
ascribed to him, the raising from the
dead of a girl in the Cancer Hospital
at st. Petersburg was attributed to
him, and his home soon became the
Mecca for pilgramages by the faith
full.
During the lifetime of the late Gear
he was often summoned to the inn
perial palace. Once he was sent for
on behalf of the Princess Elizabeth,
consort OF Duke Sergius and sister
Of the present Czarina. The Princess
was Ill and his prayers were wanted.
Father John is said to have asked the
Car whether the Princess had en-
tered the Greek Church from convic-
ton or merely as a matter of policy
she was a German and originally a
Lutheran. Astounded at his boldness,
the ruler of all the Russias sharply
told the pre1ate to mind his own BUSH
ness. Father John drew himself to his
full hight, fixed a penetrating glance
on his imperial master. and replied:
That is just what / am doing, your
majesty. God, whose humble servant
am, demands that this question
should be answered"
Whether 1t was answered or not is
not known. But when the Car was
dying in Crimea an urgent call was
sent to Father John, and he was rush
ed across Russia on an imperial special
to the bedside of the monarch.

with idle curiosity. 1t was a heavy
pipe, the stem of beautifully clouded
amber, and the bowl displaying the
monogram H. D." 1t bore evidence
of much use and it smelled abomina-
bly, of tobacco.
The girl laid the pipe on the seat be-
side her. AS she did so, there was a
great rustling and cracking in the
laurel hedge She had barely time to
drop her parasol over the pipe when
a tall young man stalked up to the
seat. "Stalked" is the only term for
the young mans method of approach.
His manner was decidedly constrain-
ed, and there were hard lines about
his mouth.
The girls eyes were turned to the

the vista of sparkling water. Not so

Dust a Btiat Pipe
By BLAIR EATON.

If you follow the Shore Walk along
the bluff, you will come upon a little
pine point jutting out into
the bay. Near the end of the point
is built a rustic seat. Behind this
seat a thick hedge of laurel rises to
screen it from the prying eyes of
promenaders on the Shore Walk. 1t
is one of those picturesque, secluded
places which the frisky little god has
chosen for his own. It's history is the
history of all such hooks.
On a certain afternoon in late May,
when the bay sparkled and shimmered
in the mellow sunshine, and the pines
droned softly to the wisp of a breeze,
a girl sat quite alone upon the rustic
seat. There was an imperious poise
of her head that told of willfulness,
while certain lines about her mouth
quite prominent were these lines this

those who play only with their dolls

The dress of young children is often
so dainty that play is hampered and

his broadness. While orthodox in the
| essential meaning of that word. he
makes no distinction between those
that follow his and other beliefs. He
bestows his blessing on all alike, for

Voting Privilege Is not Extended to
 School Lands Council Approves.

The board of governors Of the Water Users Association held a long meeting yesterday, lasting from II o'clock to. 3 o'clock There was full attend ance of the members. and though few questions were disposed of. all were important, and were discussed at greet length.
 The most time was devoted to the discussion of the voting rights of set tiers who hold school lands which they have signed to the association. The settlers not having full title, the GU S. .tion was one of perplexing phases To this time, however, the interior de- partment has not ruled respecting the ownership of storage rights. and the question was settled by the passage Of a resolution to the effect that the sec retary of the association should not place the names of such settlers on the voting list till such time as the secre- tary of the interior, or some authorize ed agent of the government. shall have de- termined the full rights of such set tiers in the premises.
 A communication was received from the council of the association, stating that it had ratified and approved the contract entered into by the govern- ment and the association, as represent cd by it's officers. This contract had been previously approved by the board of governors. Under the bylaws of the association it is now the duty cf the secretary to have the contract or undertaking printed in a local paper for the information of members prior to the special election of the associa- tion for it's ratification, which will be held on May 10.
