Good Indians PRAYER.

20 powers that be, make me suffi-
cient to my own occasions. Teach me
to know and to observe the rules of
the game. Give me to mind my own
business at all times, and lose no good
opportunity of holding my tongue.
Help me not to cry for the moon or
over spilled milk Grant me neither
to proffer nor to welcome cheap praise;
to distinguish sharply between senti-
ment and sentimentality, cleaving to
the one and despising the other. When
it is appointed for me to suffer, let me,
so far as may humanely be possible,
take example from the dear well-bred
beasts, and go away quietly, to bear
my sufferings by myself. Give me to
be always good comrade, and to view
the passing show with an eye constant
ly growing keener. charity broaden
ing and deepening day by day. Help
me to win, if win may; but-and this,
0 Powers! especially-if may not win
make me a good loser. Amen"-Her-

I've got a raise and Rogers says
There's talk of letting me come in,
And be the Comply in our firm
But anyhow, this amt SO thin!
I'm going out to Smiths tonight.
Smiths got the SWEETEST little fiat

He's jolly, too, is Smith, and fat.

Is Smithy'S niece-her name is Brtnki
She's just come here from Tennessee
To stop awhile with Mrs. Smith!
1 muned it when she bowed to me;
She seemed some ratified, too, herself!
When we were settled, comfy like,
Just for a quiet tete-a-tete,
She up and gave the joke away!
Exposed to Smith and wife the snap
OF how 1 landed in her lap!
Well-anyhow, did my best,
And Mrs. Smith she asked me out
To Sunday dinner! / should shout!
WEDNESDAY OF ANOTHER WEEK.
1 took the train on time to-day
And L was lucky, too, L guess,
For SHE was there and looked immense
In some new-fangled morning dress!

I wish she'd come and work for me.
'Twould make a heaven out OF work
To have that woman for a clerkD
She welcomed me beside her there
Upon a Space-Say two by four,
And then / noticed on her hand
A ring! diamond ring she wore!
1t surely can't be she's engaged!
1 wonder, sometimes. why God cheers
Our hearts with sunbursts and then
sends
A deluge of His hottest tears.
THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY.
That wasn't anybody's ring
But hers-and now she's wearing mine!
told Smith yesterday out home,
And Smithy he was really fine!
He took my hand and pressed it hard
And when / up and kissed his wife,
He only laughed. and called me ''pard,"
And said he hoped our path OF life
Would be an endless summer day,
With roses blooming all the way!
And as for her-why, bless her heart,
I'll shi4d her ever from alarms
She said she scarce could say me nay
Since had tumbled in her arms,

Romance of a street-car Poet.
MONDAY.
For several mornings now I've seen
Her stop &he car at Wilson street.
I've noticed In my daily ride,
Her hair is brown, her face is sweet!
And yesterday. when she sat down,
She took the cross seat by my side!
| made u bluff at reading news,
But DER my paper stole look.
Her cheeks are Velvety and pink;
Her eyes-she kept upon book.
Twas isabelle, something like
And she was buried in the same.
l wonder who the deuce she is
And what. she is, and what's her name?
This city life is pretty fierce!
Just see that poor old woman there.
She has basket full of truck,
And in her face are seams Of care.
Perhaps she's going down to scrub
In some skyscraper by the lake
Prone on her hands and knees, to rub
Away the filth the needless make!
TUESDAY
All, here's a bloke! Just sniff that
breath,
Great snooks, but this is lanyard air!
Sometimes when sit next a smell,
1t shocks my breakfast egg for fair!
But, anyhow, wonder who
That girl is with the dark brown hair?
Her cheeks are like wild apple bloom
That blossoms in the tangled wood,
And in her eyes there glints light
That tells the worldly man she's good.
I wish that l might know her we'll,
Might call to see her when 1 like
But, say-if I keep staring thus,
She'll think I just came off the pike!
THURSDAY
Last evening something happened uS.
When 1 got on at Plymouth Place,
She sat across the aisle from me
The girl that has the winsome face!
At Quincy street, I think it was,
An aged lady took the car.
She had an old. gray cloth val-se
That spoke of journeys oft and far.
Most all the men were buried deep
Behind their evening papers there,
And I got up to give my seat
When L saw silver in her hair.
Just then the car-truck struck a switch
I grabbed and missed the dangling
strap!
The next thing. I sitting in
The little brown-haired wOman's lap!
Well-yes, guess that 1 blushed some
In finding equilibrium!
1 glanced at her and humbly begged
Forgiveness for my awkward fall.
She didn't seem to be real mad.
Nor look contemptuous at all.
And just before the others laughed,
I saw a twinkle in her eye.
At that she Strengthened up and flushed
And cross her face there swept a cloud
OF anger at the giggling crowdi
And when she shot biting glance
Around that car, it froze the mirth
OF several fellows who were bold
And Uttered with a quaking girth.
I wonder who the woman is
Or where she works-and what's her
biz?

ABANDONED FARMS
WILL BE RECLAIMED

Syracuse. n. Y. Oct. 23.-That the neg
lected lands of abandoned farms in New
York and New England eventually will
be reclaimed and brought back to their
primitive fruitfulness, is the proposition
of James Wilson, secretary of agriculture,
at conference here today on the condi-
ton of agriculture in New York state
The secretary's prophecy was made in
an address on THE Unproductive Farm. y
He said this will be brought about by sci
entific farming, aided by the government,
and that when the possibilities of the
land are recognized the farms will be
reOccupied
More than 100 farmers representing
about one-half the counties of the state
We're present today at the convention.

HOW TO ACQUIRE
A GOOD COMPLEXION

The latest style in compilations calls
for a skin that is creamy in tone. This
cannot be produced by any powders or
cosmetics, which are always plainly
apparent to every one, although some
ladies try to deceive themselves with
the idea that they can apply powders
without detection. But they them
selves are the only ones fooled.
A prominent beauty doctor con-
tributes to our readers the following
formula for a toilet preparation that is
probably the most effective known TO
the profession for producing the rose
tinted complexion now so desirable and
enabling the discontinuance OF all cos
metics and powders. The formula is
as follows:
Two ounces Rose Water; one ounce
Spirits of Cologne; four ounces crys-
tallzed Sartoin (skin food. Put the
Sartoin into a pint Of hot water mot
boiling and when dissolved and cooled
add the Rose Water and Cologne
Spirits; then strain through a fine
cloth. Any large bottle or fruit jar
will serve as a receptacle, providing 1t
can be closed alright.
These ingredients can be gotten from
any well stocked druggist and easily
mixed.
It should be applied daily and mas
saged we'll into the skin, and is said to
produce truly remarkable results.
Coming from such a good authority IL
is at least worth thorough trial

Little Variation.

sci TREY l.. Ford of the United Railroads
Under direct examination by Assistant
District Attorney Francis ]. Heney they
retold, with no great variation from theiI
recital in the first trial of California $
former attorney general, the story OF
brides received and supervisorial services
accordingly performed
The cross-examnation of each by Earl
Rogers for the defense was severe. He
drew from Gallagher an admission which
Ford's lawyers consider very important
that no money was passed to the super
visors until the month of August or APP
proXimately two months after the final
passage of the trolley franchise. Gallagher
also testified that there was great pub
lie demand for the Identification of the
destroyed cable system of street cars. and
that the supervisors would have granted
the franchise without brides.
