WHEN DAYIE SAW THE STAR.

One time when / was sick I'm bed
And II was quiet I'm the night
Il seemed as though above my head
There was star. all soft and white.
And pretty soon II seemed 10 grow
And come down closer from the sky,
And then / kind Of felt as though
I'd float II ! would care 20 try.
And then ! closed my eyes, and when
! looked again, why ii was day,
And mother was beside me then
And father wasn't far away.
And something must of happened while
Ia been asleep and didn't see.
Because you ought of see. them smile
Ac they stood lookin' down at me.
And one day when / looked outside,
The street was covered over thick
With something brown, and mother cried
And said sometimes when folks got sick
They scattered tnnbark an around
So when the wagons would go past
They wouldn't hardly make a sound
And l g)t we'll again. at last
And when I told them Of the star
I'd seen above me in the night
And how it seemed So pale and FAR,
At first and then got near and bright
They hugged me tight and wouldn't let
Ne hardly turn around alone;
Most everything I'd want I'd get
And have IL for my very own
But I've got awful well and strong
And I get lots Of scoldins now
Whenever anything goes wrong
There seems 10 be change, somehow.
Sometimes l wish that ia get sick
And see another star. FOR then
kind of think that pretty quick
They'd get 20 lovin' me again.

leaving his estate to relatives, one
of whom was sister, Mrs. Mary L..

resembled his uncle, in that he was
prone to travel from place to place,
never keeping in close touch with
his family, consequently his where

PROF. LUCKETT REMOVED.
New PRINCIPAL OF The Rockville High
School To Be Selected.

Rockville Especially Prof. Cooke
D. Luckett has been notified by the
county school board that his services
as principal of the Rockville High
School will not be needed after the
present year.
President Lamar explained that
the change had been decided upon
because of Prof. Luckett's age, which
is about sixty years.
The Montgomery County public
school commissioners are now at
loggerheads with the Rockville town
council over a bill for water used at
the Rockville High School. When
the bill was presented for the year
ended June 80 last, its payment was
refused on the ground that the
charge was exorbitant, and the school
board offered to pay for water at
the rate of $12 per year, while the
charge made by the town was SIS
per year. When the school opened
last week it was found that there
was no town water to be- had, it
having been turned off by order of
the town council. President Lamar,
of the school board, quickly sought
Mayor Lee Offutt and upon being
assured that the bill as presented
would be paid the water was turn
ed on.

Frederick peciaD. - While

She attempted to remove it, when
copperhead snake, nearly three
feet in length, fell to the floor. The

with her broom and killed it. The
snake had crawled into the house
through an open door and found its
way into the parlor.

daughter, who without assistance, dis
patched it with club. Miss Hoffer,
who claims that she will tackle any
snake she sees, has killed a number
of reptiles this summer in the vi

on examining the animals nest, found
four large pickerel, the largest weigh.

took them hcme and, with his family,
ate them. Mr.. Dunn says this is the
first tine he has ever known of fish
being caught in hollow tree.

WHERE FASHIONS COME FROM.
Discoveries of New CoIors and Shades
Made in Gardens and in Fields.

OiSCOvGFlSS OF iNCW SOiOtS etio SioASe
Made in Gardens and in Fields.
For weeks and months past many
acute scientific minds have been hard
at work, says a writer in Chambers's
Journal, in the attempt to solve prob
lens of which my lady is to have the
shapes, as a man would call them.
change but shades of colors too, and
each season there must be some abso-
lutte novelty.
Now, it is a difficult thing to find
shades of color that have not been
in use before; but they must be found,
and every spring bales of material
are delivered to fashionable houses
all in the new tints that the scientists
have evolved during the preceding
menths, which forthwith become the
fashionable favorites.
The discovery of these tints in the
first place and their commercial pro-
duction in the second is very long
and expensive business. For the most
part the persons who make this their
business go to nature for their ideas,
and the whole thing was explained to
me in close detail some time ago by
the head of one of the ladies' firms
with whom I happened to come in
contact
The man who has the commission
to find new color wanders in gar
dens and over fields and moors for
the sole purpose of finding such. There
are suggestions to him at every turn:
but for one reason or another they
ere rejected time after time, until at
length, after much weary wandering,
his eye lights happily on the looked
for tint. Perhaps it was in garden
that he found it, and then he has
very likely days of work in sitting
alive and in it's fresh beauty, and
initiating it as nearly as he can in
artificial colors
All the pigments and chemicals of
an artists shop and a large labora-
tory are brought into service, and
when the color is really there on a
piece of paper or cardboard 1t is borne
of in triumph to Bond street or Ok
ford street. where it is duly approved
and it is decided that it shall be the
fashionable color of the next season.
So ii is these people wandering in
gardens and mixing their chemicals
afterward who rule the color destinies
of the London season and not the
grand ladies who have garments made
of these colors, though the latter
might scout the idea of the selection
being due to any one save themselves.
IT was told to me on this occasion
that particular shade of red-and a
really very nice red, too-which was
then very much in vogue had taken
eighteen months to fix and get into
the shop.
One of the colors of the present sea-
son comes from the imitation of the
new BankGia rose which goes by the
name of Dorothy Perkins" and bees
wing" "Mignonette green" and 'sea
holly blue" are other tints that have
lately been obtained from nature in
just the manner described. They will
all be seen in London at the beginning
of this season, and soon after they
will be away to the provinces.
