EVERYTHING CHECKED.

1t was said last year that checks had
had their day, buf If the stuffs in smart
shops are an indication we shall be
checked the coming summer as we
haven't been checked Tor many year.
Every possible fabric has its check
phase, says the Philadelphia Bulletin.
There are checked taffetas, checked
louislnes, checked eottons, checked
voiles, black and white shepherd
checks, checks that borrow the pastel
hues of pink-and- and 5lue-and-
white Bingham. and all those various
mercerized checks which wash and
cost the price of the cotton and yet de-
Jude the unknowing into the belief
that you are sporting silk frock. 1t
may be said, too, that the lousine
checks in lavender and mauve are par
ticularly delightful. In buying checks
bear this in mind. For morning, for
church, for runabout and street wear
and visiting the check is smart and
admirable. Anywhere the best shirt
waist frock can go it can 20. But
when 1t comes to the realm of the ac-
tually dressy, or a gown that must
do service for both afternoon and even
ing the check Is, of course not to be
thought of. 1t is neat and modish and
pretty for the tailored phase, but there
is something about its accuracy of de-
sign which confines it to that phase.
where it is very good, indeed, and
welcome revival.

Two Columns Of Horseshoes.

In the town of Fort Collins, Col,
the village blacksmith has created a
curious but very appropriate sign. In
fact, 1t represents not only his indus
try, but the many years in which he
has been engaged in it.
On either side of the entrance to
the shop are pillars which rise several
feet above the roof. From a distance
they resemble box trees with the
branches closely cut, to give them an
ornamental appearance. AS a matter
of fact, the columns are composed of
discarded horseshoes. AS each is fully
thirty feet in height and five feet in
diameter, faint concer ton may be
obtained of the immense number of
shoes utilized in constructing them,
for each columns was built up by lay
ing the shoes one upon the other with
their fat sides in contact. Through
the center of each column runs a
wooden post. and the novel structure
has been formed by wiring the shoes
to 1t.
The construction of the sign was
begun when the shop was opened for
business. The columns have become
too heavy to be increased in height.
and are anchored by iron bands to
the walls of the building.-Scieptific

THE NERVOUS WOMAN.

The nervous woman, heaven pity
her! She makes herself and everybody
around her perfectly miserable, de-
clares the Hartford Post Sometimes
there's n cause for the nervousness
and then she's to be pitied and some
times it's just habit one gets into of
being unreasonable and fussy. and
generally loking on the blue side of
everything.
When the nervous system gets out of
order the whole system lags in SYM
pathy. The digestive system, the liver
and the heart all refuse to do their
work. Every nervous woman should
eat three meals, have lunch between
meals and never omit the warm drink
taken just before she goes to bed.
Gentle exercise and work are as nee
essary to the woman with nerves as
food and fresh air. An active interest
In life will be her salvation, but gen.
orally the woman in such n condition
thinks she isn't interested in thing
In life, so she must keep at work until
she develops an interest.
A celebrated physician has said: "If
you wish never to be nervous live
with reason, have n purpose in life
and work for it; play joyously. strive
not for the unattainable, be not an
noyed by trifies, aim to attain neither
great knowledge nor great riches, be

THE ATHLETIC GIRL.

Rather a remarkable letter. signed
IAN Athletic Girl" was recently re-
celved by a writer in L. P.'s Weekly
who had had something fiattering to
say of women who went in for sports
The only question is. Did a woman
write the letter? Here it is: II am an
athletic girl; l nunt all the winter and
golf all the summer. l am a Jolly
good sort and all that-we are in a
way pals to every man, especially If

Languedoc home, where he and Pierre
had spent their childhood: of his
| father, Monsieur lie Baron; of Ma
poleon. the young officer of his boyish
idolatry. He told of Margot, and
Pere Huot-of all the persons connect
ed with his life.
Rose listened intently, her face re-
fecting the feelings and emotions
aroused by Lafitte's story; and, more
than once, a mist of tears dimmed the
filled with indignation.
He said little in regard to his life
with Laro, but told fully of the meet

which had aroused his better self.
At this, small hand stole from its
fellows clasp, and was held out to
him. He took 1t, and pressed his lips
to the soft fingers. Then. after re-
leasing it gently. he went on.
He told of his visit to Elba; of the
interview with Napoleon; of the prom
Use he had made, and his efforts to full
fl it; OF his temporary loss of resolu-
ton after the descent upon Barataria,
and of its full renewal at Pierre's
death.
AS he described that scene in the
moonlit cell, her tears flowed freely;
and at sight of them a strange smile
touched Laftte's lips.
"Ah. my Pierre" he murmured,
bending to lay his face against the
wood-fowers upon his foster-brother's
grave, "other eyes than thy Jeans
can weep for thee!"
AS he raised his head Rose de Gaze

LATTE reach out one hand to clasp
that of his companion, while with the
other he cleared a bush from the path.
Then they moved on, and were shut
from sight by the trees.

girl said to herself, the last word end

began pacing the floor.

Hate her? No. cannot do that, my
sweet Rose. You are not responsible
for having the same fever that once
possessed me. And who could help
loving you? AS for him, he long ago

ship from him."
She laughed bitterly as that last
day on the Barra de Hero rose be-
fore her, bringing with 1t an increase
of color to her cheeks at thought of
her past lack of maidenliness.
Meanwhile Rose de Cazeneau stood
with Lafitte beside what seemed
from the wooden cross marking ito
be grave. 1t was long, narrow
mound, already rich with brilliant
wood-growths; and the forest shut it
away from sight of the cabins.
Obeying silently the motion of his
hand, she seated herself upon fall
an tree, where the moss. thick as a
rug, made covering soft as velvet.
LATTE then sat down upon the ground
before herewith his back against the
mound, the cross making rest for his
barred head.

her voice, as she exclaimed, What!

tain Jean?"
"No-nor any blood relation what
ever. But of this will tell you pres

A young man in a neighboring town
started in the livery business a few
weeks ago, and the first thing he did
was to have a sign painted represent

asked of his wife:

she repeated; and the dismay in her
voice made his heart leap.
Would you care-would you miss
me?" And his clasp frightened upon
her imprisoned hands.

said. seeking to look under the lashes
that swept her cheeks, when my

me. little Rose, to be presented to
him as my baronne-as my wife?"
The tears were running from be-
meath the lowered lashes as she laid
her cheek against one of the hands
that held her own; and birds song
thrilled out with joyous melody as he
reached up and drew her face to him.
There is an eastern legend telling
