land. In 'Hark, the Mavis," he
refers to them as inhabiting
''Yonder Clouden's silent towers
Where at moonshine, midnight hours
Ger the dewey, bending flowers
Fairies dance sac CHEEKY"
On Halloween in Ireland, no
one would would venture out,
unless compelled by great nee
cessity, because the fairies were
supposed to be abroad. The lof-
ty towers that exist in Ireland
were thought to be the abiding
places of some of these "good
people," and the thickets and
lonely spots of the country places
also had their fairies. The lit
tie red-capped, red coated fairy
was great favorite among the
country peoped. To catch one
of these little chaps and hold him
until he would tell where some
great wealth was buried was one
of the pleasant tales of the old
days. The belief in fairies was
firmly rooted in Ireland, and it
was this belief that led to the
queer doings, that OBJ tain e d

The young people would go
early in the afternoon and re-
main over night, rarely Drawing
the terrors of a journey home

evening. Sounds were heard

fires on hill-tops being among the
odd things visible in Ireland on
All Halloween, especially, at
midnight. The lonely rocks on
the fishing coasts of this green
isle echoed the wall of the ban
shee's cry, and the moss-grown
abbeys, with their empty, ruined
stalls and desolated affairs, were
more gloomy and awe-inspiring
on Halloween than on any other
day. AS a more commercial
spirit advances among nations
these strange beliefs are dying
out and Ireland's fairies and
Scotland's brownies hahe become
a myth and nothing more.

CAMPAIGNING
in DAKOTA.
Two Young Women Candidates
Brave WiIdS to See Voters.

One of the most unique cam
palgns ever waged will be that
between the two candidates for
the office of County Superintend-
ent of this county, says a Belle
Fourche IS. D } letter. The two
young ladies who are running for
he office are both ex-Superin-
tendents, one, Miss Elsie NAL
colin, having served her two
terms in this county. and the
other, Miss Susie Bird, having
done equal duty in Meade coun-
ty. They are both experienced
politicians.
In order to make their cam
paign, they will have to cover as
much territory as would the Gov
ernor of Massachusetts in his
campaign, for Butte county is
easily the size of Massachusetts,,
and could swallow Rhode Island
and not know it. But no such
means of transportation are avail
BILE for these ladies as would be
were they back in the Bay State,
for a large part of the northern
part of this county is but newly
settled, and there are stretches
of country that know no settlers
save the prairie dog.
Over this country, often alone,
in a little blackboard, or on the
back of a trusty coW-pony, for
distances of not less than 200
miles, these intrepid girls must
go to meet the voters of Butte
county. Often their way will be
among the cow ranches, and not
seldom through the moving camps
of cowboys or sheep herders.
Out in the northern part of this
county a great number of new
settlers have come recently, at
tracted by the prospective route
of the Milwaukee railroad. Down
in the southern part is also new
population, employed on the gov
ernment ditch. How all of these
strangers are going to vote no
one yet knows. Their politics is
unknown, and the young lady
who reaches them first is likely
to prove the winner. Because
of so many new settlers the en-
tire county of Butte is in doubt,
and neither party claims it with
any confidence. Both Of the
young women candidates are at
tractive personally, both are we'll
qualified for the office. and both
have had the advantage of pre-
vious experience, so that it is an
interesting race.

point, one may dare to wear
W hat is personally becoming
without being called a freak.
Beautiful stones, of the semi
precious variety, in soft colors
and with mysterious hidden
meanings in their depths, such
as rose quartz, opals, jades,
a gates, garnets, carbuncles,
aquamarines, canoes and tour
malines, are seen set singly in
simple designs in full metals
such as Etruscan gold, oxidized
silver, gun metal, dull red gold
and soft, pale, greenish gold.
Naturally they are much more
artistic in effect than the highly
polished stones in glittering met
al.
The variety that lends a spice
to life in all other departments
of fashion extends even to hair
dressing. Every style is per-
mitted, and coiffures may be
worn with due regard to what
is individually becoming. Au-
burn hair remains in highest
favor the darker shades being
preferred. The pompadour still
holds it's own, but has many var
iations, and the marcel wave is
quite as popular as it ever was.
The coronet braid, with it's lit
tie cluster of curls at each end,
is still much used.

night of mystery, full of charms

Delving into the future in or
der to catch a glimpse of ones
prospective other half was one of
the enjoyments. Many of the
tricks practiced on this eventful
evening were so odd and withal
so weird that the claim that they
have been handed down from
Druidical times seems just. The
folk lore and legions of the Celt
are of a more kindly, spiritual
lied form than are the myths and
fables of heather countries. The
resemblance between those of
the two countries, Ireland and
Scotland, is so striking that a
frolicsome lad could easily leave
his native heather to spend the
evening of All Hallow-mas on
the South side of the Giants S
Causeway, listening to tales of
Carrig-na-Pooka and feel alto
gether "at home" Indeed, the
spells and witchery indulged in

were dancing on the highways in
Ireland, the brownies were hold
