ATs you wise to the fact that every thing is changing in this old world of ours, and that since the advent of fuss wagons even the old-fashioned idea of courtship has been chased to the woods?
 It used to be that on a Saturday even- ing the young gent would draw down his six dollars worth of salary and chase himself to the barber shop, where the Dago lawn trimmer would put a crimp in his mustache and plaster his fore head with three cents worth of hair and dollars worth of axlegrease.
 Then the young gent would go out and spread 40 cents around among the tradesmen for a mess of water-lilies and bag of peanut brittle.
 The lilies of the valley were to put on the dining-rom table so mother would be pleased, and with the peanut brittle he intended to fill in the weary moments when he and his little geisha girl were not making goo-goo eyes at each other
 But nowadays it is different, and Dan Cupid spends most of his time on the hot foot between the coroner's of fee and the divorce court.
 I've got hunch that young people these days are more emotional and like to see their pictures in the news papers
 Nowadays when clever young man goes to visit his sweetheart he hikes over the streets in benzine buggy. l., I,c f,ol1 a+ 4Ia front door he has a rapid-fre revolver in one pocket and bottle of carbolie acid in the other.
 His intentions are honorable and he wishes to prove them so by shooting his lady love if she renigs when he makes a play for her hand.
 think the old style was the best because when young people quarreled they didn't need an ambulance and a hospital surgeon to help them make up.
 In the old days Oscar Dobson would draw the stove brush cheerfully across his dogskin shoes and rush with eager feet to see Lena Jones. the girl he wished to make the wife of his bosom
 "Darling!" Oscar would say. "I am sure to the bad for love of you. Pipe the downcast drop in this eye Of mine and notice the way my heart is bub- bling over like a bottle of sarsaparil- Ia on a hot day! Be mine, Lena! be mine,"
 Then Lena would giggle Not once but seven giggles, something like those used in a spasm.
 Then she would reply: No. Oscar; it cannot be. Fate wills it otherwise" !"
 Then Oscar would bite his finger nails. pick his hat up out of the coal scuttle and say to Lena: False one, You love Conrad, the f1oorwalker in the butcher shop. Curses on Conrad, and see what you have missed, Lena.

Moving Pictures Prouided.

The importance of the expedition is reflected significantly in the fact that London firm has sent cinemato- graph operators to Spitzbergen for the purpose of catching on moving films all the trial work done before the serious flight is undertaken. Already these operators have been in Norway photographing the trials of the me chanical dogs" and these films have been shown in London with great sue cess. Spitzbergen is as far as the moving picture men will be able to follow the expedition, but ample pro- vision has been made for the secur- ing of still pictures after the airship leaves Danes island for the pole. The experiments with the mechanical dogs" were made in Norway. and the results, as shown by the moving pic. lures shown in London. were eminent ly satisfactory.

As the magnetic pole of the earth has been found 1,200 miles from the mathematical pole, on the coast of North America, it is reasonably certain that at the mathematical pole there will be encountered no magnetic disturbances which will destroy the usefulness of the wireless apparatus.

You have often heard 1t said that
the hand that rocks the cradle is the
hand that rules the world The new
science boldly declares that the hand
that rocks the cradle is the hand that
spoils the world Babies shouldn't be
rocked.
Yes, 1t ruthlessly sweeps aside things
about which cluster our most sacred
memories, does this new science; but it
has rewards to offer that more than
compensate for the things it takes
away. 1t saves the lives of thousands
of innocents. 1t emancipates the moth
err from thralldom that frequently
wrecks her nervous system and brings
her to q premature old age. 1t trans
forms the peevish whining baby into q
little creature all smiles and sunshine
Out Of the baby it forms a child all
sweetness and charm. In the child It
inculcates habits of self-reiiance that
will stand him In good stead when he
grows up to encounter the battle of life.
Will you not get In line with the
modern IDEAS, all you mothers? appeals

A Valuable Dog.

Mark Twain Is immensely popular
with the farmers living around Quarry
Farm" his summer home near Elmira,
y. Y. He and his neighbors exchange
experiences and both profit thereby.
The genial humorist tells of one farmer
who purchased a hunting dog that was
highly recommended to him by a man
yho did not seem particularly reluctant
about parting with it. When the dog
was delivered the farmer looked ii over
with considerable misgivings. 1t seemed
shy and bashful and hardly the animal
* was cracked up to be. Anxious to
give il a trial, however. he took it out
shortly afterwards and, as luck would
have il, ran across fox. The dog took
after the fox and the two were soon
ont of sight, the farmer following as
rapidlv as he could. Finally he met an
other farmer who. in response to his
INQUIRY. stated that they had passed In
Lis direction. Asked as 10 how they
we're running. the second farmer re-
piled: wall it was nip and tuck, but
I think the dog was about three feet
ahead. Maxwell Beers, in Lippir-
colts.

wished TO take away the darkness of
great sin from my masters soul"
She pushed the dor open very quietly
and stole into the room. Here all looked
comfortable. The windows were thrown
open and the summer twilight could be
seen through them A light was burning
close to the bed on which was stretched a
still fgure-a figure whose face was turn
ed from the eyes of those two standing
looking eagerly into the room.
Ben trod almost noiselessly over the
carpet, and when he reached the bed he
knelt down and buried his face in his
hands. He knelt there long time, pray
ing wildly, offering up the gratitude of his
heart for the mercy that had been vouch-
safed for the restoration of this creature
whom he loved
And all the while Gerald Tenby stood
leaning against the door, gazing with I'M
seeing eyes at the figure of the man that
lay on the bed. Whether he were CON
scious of relief or gladness it would be
impossible to say. He seemed to have
touched the last depths of despair a few
hours before, when he had turned and
seen Ben Coop standing under the trees,
like judge, waiting to give sentence.
Ben drew him out of the room, down
the stairs again. When they were in the
hall Ben threw open the door.
Co. he said; you are Free The lad
lives, and all the rest will be easy. If
he had died l would have asked his life
at your hands, but heaven has been good
enough to take away the worst of your
evil. Hubert Tenby lives; the rest is
not for my hands. Coz
And then Gerald Tenby woke to the
feelings of the situation.
Where shall l go?' he asked hoarsely.
What place is there in life for me?
You don't know what it is, man, to stand
as | do and look absolute ruin in the
face %
Ben put out his hand and rested it
upon the shoulder of the other man.
There is no life so bad and black that
it cannot be changed, lad" he said. There
is always atonement. Turn and face this
like a man. The world need not know
the truth. III answer for it that my lad
will do you no hardship-rather will he
be your friend. Turn and face it." said
Ben again; make haste to render up
that which is not yours: make haste to
give back TO the lad that which is dearer
to him than wealth-his unstained honor.
Be true in this, and much will be forgiven
you"

Eoliennes make the prettiest OF extra
dresses and the mercerized eoliennes
are best liked of all.
That new trick of fashion-leaving
ostrich feathers uncurled-is a boon to
the women who have had to taboo
feathers because the curl would come
out.
Do not indulge In hat combining
the so-called French blue and vieux
rose shades; no matter how deftly
blended these tints never harmonic,
being too pronounced to tone In to-
gether.
Some Of the new dimities show bands
almost like tapes, which serve In place
of the clusters of the cords that usually
characterize them. Often the tapelike
bands cross and recross until a pretty
little lattice work is built up, over
which flowers climb.
The new belts, although created In
Paris, are very Scotch in effect, and Of
the extreme smartness. Maddsas they
are of brilliant plaid silks edged with
wide bands of white kid, and having
white kid buckles, they are very effect
i've with both dark and light gowns.
Hatless maidens no longer are seen
on the golf links or tennis courts; in
stead, lingerie hats of various hues and
materials are worn, and in some cases
are supplemented by wells so heavy that
close inspection is necessary in order
to recognize the wearer.
Shocking, as a form Of decorative
arrangement, steadily grows in favor.
1t is eminently suited to the soft, plia-
bic stuffs that are now so much in
vogue, and when it Is done by experts
the effect is exceedingly beautiful and
the color of the material or Of a con-
trasting tone.
The new net wells, which are won
derfully soft and silky, soon lose their
shape when made to conform to some
of the latest and ,uost eccentric mil
linery, and the only possible solution of
the difficulty Is to be in possession of a
large variety of wells. Black and white
mixtures are first in favor at present,
as we'll as pale gray and white, some of
the new makes with narrow lace Dor

being essentially becoming.

The Indolent Wife.

The world in general deals harshly
with the man who allows his talents
and energies to &C TO waste. To shirK
his responsibilities or TO develop lazl-
ness and a disinclination TO work are
considered objectionable failings. But
these same faults in a woman are IN
diligently overlooked. Instead OF call
ing it laziness it is politely termed lack
Of strength" Household cares which
at one time made women irritable on
occasion, for which they apologized and
tried to make amends, now bring on an
attack Of nervousness" which is treat

ailment. A rest Is prescribed which

culean proportions.
There are thousands of wives who, to
use a homely phrase, don't earn their
salt" To begin with, they deny their
husbands even the comfort of an occa-
sional unburdening of business worries
and take no interest In the affairs
which form so important and serious
part of their lives. They are ready to
share the profits and pleasures that re-
suit from their husbands efforts, but
plead headache at the mention of
the stern realities of living. They feel
that their position entities them to all
with nothing in return. Many who are
not naturally blessed with domestic &C
complishments refuse to cultivate them
on the plea that they would be forced
into service.
Just as sure as l begin doing my
own homework I'll have to keep 1t up, .
they say.
This feeling is death to the partner
ship idea. There can be no true spirit
of equality where mistrust and resent
ment exist In their eyes household
cares become drudgery and everything
is sacrificed in order to escape 1t. Hus-
bands who can i'll afford it are forced
to employ servants through the unwill-
ingness of their wives to do their share
In the days work If help Is unobtain-
able they sit with folded hands and be-
moan their lot. Instead of taking hold
Of things, glad to prove their own worth
and capabilities, their chief concern is
how to minimize the work. They decide
to go out for their meals, as cooking
demands too much of their time and
energy. The husband who has rushed
off after a hurried breakfast and eX-
perienced the clatter and hustle of q
quiet, undisturbed dinner at his own
table but the selfish and indolent wife
DEGREES otherwise Cooking means
work before and after the meal, and
in her perverted mind that fact takes
precedence over all other considera-
tions. Gradually even the management
of the house becomes irksome and 1t is
left to the care of disinterested persons,
which soon results in debt and ulti-
