THE YOUTHFUL PROMISE
OF PAUL JONES.

The cottage of Paul's Highland
mother and Scotch gardener father
was situated very close to the coast,
and the first music to fall on his
baby ears was the deep note of the
breakers dashing against the rocky
slopes of Griffel. So precipitous the
way, that vessels under full sail
passed within stones throw from
the beach, and the commands of the
officers could sometimes be heard
from the cottage door. Every boy of
romantic temper responds to the call
of the sea. and to young Paul, intrepid
and impetuous, breathing it's majesty
with it's mists. it was veritable par
ent His scant boyhood was passed
for the most part on the rocks of the
shore. He organized his playmates
into crews: he thundered commands
through paper trumpets; he spoke the
vernacular of the ocean. AT ten the
indon.itable will. unflinching courage,
unfailing resource of the man were
already distinguishable in the child.
He would brook no superior among the
boys of his village; he was the best
swimmer, the most doring sailor and
in ever urchin fight a victor. To a
meagre education at parish school
he added much by such love of
everything connected with the sea as
sent him by the reading of its voyages
and tales, and failing these, even as
child, to work on navigation.
There is something strikingly fitting
in the well-authenticated anecdote of
the discovery of great admiral in
the thick of oceans perils by a marine
merchant who was moved to exclaim.
81 must have that boy. he belongs to
the sea-"

FOUR SORTS OF READERS.

There are four sorts of readers
hour glass readers, whose reading
runs in and out and leaves nothing;
sponge readers, who imbibe all, but
only, give it out again as they got it
and perhaps not so clean; jelly bag
readers, who keep the dregs and re-
fuse and let the pure run through;
diamond readers, who cast aside all
that is worthless and hold only the

The chaplain would say that every

with increasing force the lesson from

a reproach to any nation" and that
every abandoned and despised con-

failure on the part of society, fail

will prevent crime or to provide such
institutions as will reform the Grim

Death in the prison IS a very per

Grange Nine" is the prison grave
yard, stoneless, urnless, unbeauti-
full. unsanctified stretch of soft and
soggy sand, where a couple Of miser-
able stunted oaks and few punches
of debilitated grass only accentuate
the unfriendliness of the sunken
graves and fallen markers of rotten
board.
In hardly any other place will the
sense of utter wastefulness of human
beings be SO emphasized as in that
brief inclosure where, after wasted
life, there is packed away body that
is useless for any human purpose, too
useless to tempt even grave robber,
for be it known that now by Indiana
law no dead convict's cadaver is de-
posted in the prison burial ground
unless it be unclaimed by relatives
or friends and is not valuable for pur-
poses of student dissection.

That is all. Another citizen has
been added to Range Nine" and it's
forbidding precincts will not again be
visited until yet anoter wasted life
shall leave a useless and unloved
fame.
The very absence of sorrow is the
saddest thing about such death and
funeral. The fact that no one notices
the pathos of such a perfunctory fin
ish is itself the most pathetic feature.
Why should any person care for the
useless man? Why should there be
sorrow or even solemnity at such
funeral?

Hair Braid for Hats.

The newest braid used in the max
ing of outing hats is the hair braid,
says the Milliner. Up to the present
time very little of this braid was used
for other than dress purposes. A
hair braid hat which illustrates the
possibilities of this model is made up
OF two plateaux draped something
after the fashion of the Charlotte Cor.
day bonnet. but more on the turban
order. 1t is caught at each side with
black velvet bows, which are fastened
with large carbuchons of white hair
Another style of outing hat which is
developed into white hair braid is a
Tam O'Shanter: the crown of this is
draped in black velvet loops and the
ends are caught into square black
velvet buckle at one side.

THE LOVERS ROSARY
Parting of tho Ways - A Memory of Boyhood.

Gray eyes SO archly tender,
Dear eyes of radiant hue.
Our homage must we render
And pay our tithe to you.
On Alien strand WE wander,
Stung by desire to roam,
Our health and wealth we sQuauder
And sadly dream OF home!
Gray eyes whose depths are deeper
Than any bubbling spring
That cOOls the thirsty reaper.
Where moss and ivy cling;
Dear eyes with rapture cleaning.
Flushed with shy, pure disdain.
AS starshine drenched in rain.
How fast the time went FIXING,
How swiftly sped the hours.
Scant shrift for lovers signing
Brief space to garner flowers
The first mad bOyish passion
Has tanned it's fierce delight,
We loved in frantic fashion.
And part in foolish spite.
Your song was low and sweeter
Than birds that sigh for rain,
Or muslc's mOuinful meter.
Or SWinburn"'S Su!nptuOus strain
You daWned on the behOlder
Like sunshine mid the gloom,
When wintry blasts sting colder,
LamentinS summers doom.
You came and all was gladness.
Your step was like the fawn,
Your buOyance had the sadness,
The chaste delight OF dawn
You fr"licked through the Mnytims
AS dream OF pure delight.
Youths golden hours for pla aytime.
Like supple fawn in flight.

Simple Oancino Gown.

That satin is to assume much i'm
portance in the winter frock scheme
seems beyond doubt. Satin models
are many. both in evening and visiting
gowns. and nothing lovelier is shown
than some of the gowns in this ma
terial. One is made from pale green
satin, with perfectly plain skirt, far.
ing and full at bottom. The decol.
lete bodice is very pointed, front and
back. and in front are crossed pieces
Of the satin edged with tiny ruche,l
rufiles of self-tone chiffon. A straight
piece of white Irish crochet lace runs
across front at bust line. One large
pun with turned cuff and chiffon ruffle
forms the elbow sleeve.

And tanned your girlish pride.

Across his Wintry life.
A snatch OF song allaying
The soul that sighed for strife.
But time, who SCOTS at lovers.
Gave them a little grace.
The while shy Spring uncovers

Than foam from Wind-swept spray.
Your beauty's rich and rarer,
Than harbinger OF May.
Love brought them as a token
The trophies Of the fray.
A bovish heart was broken
And bruised. and cast away.

Monoqrams on HANDBAGS,

1t is the smart thing to have your
monogram on your handbag. Not in
plain brass or silver or even in gold.
but in precious stones. This is truly
an age of extravaganza in jewelry
and jewels, and We cannot afforj: to
speak disrespectfully of the ladies
of ancient Greece and Rome, who
decked themselves with dangling
chains and thought beauty was count
ed by the variety of jewels they wore.
The stones used in the monogram
may be either the birthstone or the
lucky stone, and the letters are en-
twined SO as to make them as uniB-
telligible as possible.
