The Antiquity of the ThimbIe.

Son, ebody wrote ITO the Dutch the
the invention of the thimble, The
Dutch achieved this great invention
about the year 1850"
How can this stupid error have aris-
en-? The thimble is probably prehis-
toric IhiMbles In some form or 9th
er must have been used by the women
who executed the rich embroideries of
the ma5iae.al time. The late Pro
fess0r J. Il. Thorold Rogers in his
History OF Agriculture and Prices In
England" mentions, under the year
1894, one dozen thimbles which cost 4
shillngs What is, however, more TO
the purpose, they are frequently allud-
ed to by oar old dramatists. Here are
two exarY'cs from the greatest Of

In silence they rode toward the

clouds were piled in the west. Against

cite.
Its big and free and beautiful"
Drusilla murmured to herself, "but it's
not for me.'
4 week later she went east, and her
going left great gap in the lives of
the three men at Ell Paso. Ned per
haps missed her least of all. for he was
to go home in November. Rogers open
ly mourned her departure.
Don't seem natural" he complained,
mot to hear her step about the house
or her songs in the evening"
But Keith, who felt her going most,
kept silent. carrying with him a long
ing that would not be satisfied.
Drusilla had given her promise to
write. yet she was slow in fulfilling it.
Even Ned grumbled as day after day
went by and no word came from her
save telegram saying she had ar
rived safely and q few picture postal
cards covered with hasty scribbling
Rogers made excuses for going to the
mail oftener than was really necessary.
and his persistency was at length re
warded, for one day he returned with
three letters In Drusilla's handwriting
His was full Of amusing incidents,
Ned's of gossip and sisterly affection,
but to Keith she wrote:
You are right after all. l am smoth-
cred with conventionality and weary
of riding nv prescribed length In the
park It's all such a social circus. And
1t isn't the call of the plains that's
drawing me. It's the call of the heart.

in the doorway a few minutes later
and watching Keith galloping into the
distance For sheer hustling that
beats all I've ever seen. He sure de
