WALKING Sticks.

The sixteenth century is that In
which the walking stick became not
merely a useful implement, but an ar
dele of fashion, dignity and luxury.
In the seventeenth century it was gold
headed and made of rare woods. 1t
was sign of leadership.
For long period there was little
variety among Englishmen in the ma
terial used for the majority Of walking
sticks. The ''oaken towel" as it was
pleasantly termed when an enemy was
to be rubbed down." shared popular
ity with the crab tree cudgel, which,
among rural folk especially, was much
valued and classic from the conflict in
"Hudibras." when
With many a stiff thwack, many a bang,
Hard crab tree on old iron rang.
Classic, too is that stout oaken stick
which sturdy DR.. Johnson, who, like
Knox, "never feared TIE face Of living
man." provided himself with when he
went to the pit OF the little theater in
the Haymarket In full view of Foote
who had announced his intention Of

tention which in view Of the stick he
did not carry into effect.-Gentlcman'

The pedestals are plain and are made

Though the pedestals are higher than

Decorations of this kind continue to be

One unique and attractive center
piece for holding flowers is made with
a high stand. Its shape is narrow

tached to a fiat oval base of solid
metal whose bevel edge extends a tride
beyond the rim Of the fern dish itself.
The two slender columns supporting
the bowl are etched in imitation of
ozark, the columns representing stumps
of trees. The trunks do not terminate
suddenly and squarely at the bottom,
but bend under and form a branch, as
1t were, that is half buried in the fiat
oval stand, suggesting a partially sub

MADE IN
HEAVEN.
By T. BLAIR EATON.
Copyrighted, 1908, by Associated
Literary Press.

The bishop had just landed a blue
fish. 1t was a big fish, and before ii
was finally hauled into the cockpit of
the Sally B. il had displayed undoubted
qualities of gameness that had warmed
the cookies of the bishops heart.
Therefore. as Jim Croker. who al
ways took the bishop out when he
fished in Sepennessett bay. flattened
down the sheet and headed the little
catbeat for the rips once more there
was a seraphic smile on the bishops
intellectual face.
He stood with one foot on the seat,
paying out his line astern, his eyes
taking in delightedly the sparkle and
fash of the water and the little white
clouds creeping up above the horizon.
Those clouds whispered Of a smart
breeze later on. and with the wind
freshened a bit it would be an ideal
day for fish. Anon the bishop turned
to survey his latest catch, and each
time as he did so he gave a little
chuckle of satisfaction.
Suddenly there was a mighty tug at
the line; astern was a fash of blue
and silver as the fish leaped from the
water. The bishop took firmer hold
on the line. and his eyes glowed with
excitement
ease her up a bit, Jim," he called
to the man at the tiller. look at the
fellow I've hooked this time. He's the
father of them allp'
So engrossed was the bishop with
his fish that he did not hear the quick
painting of a gasoline engine, nor did
he see the power boat tearing toward
them, sending up twin waves of white
spume at its bow.
Just as the second ashland it was
considerably larger than the first-was
hauled aboard the Sally B. the cough
ing exhaust of the engine ceased and
the power boat shot alongside.
There were two men in it-a big,
athletic young fellow with clean cut
features who stood beside the wheel in

He Takes Ii In.

No doubt the average candidate
Has been about bit
Ana knows that people sometimes tell the
truth
And that they often fabricate
If that will better fit
And soften down the path for them, in
Sooth,
But still he listens eagerly
While they predict that he
By large, immense majorities must win,
Although man both deaf and dumb
And lame and blind could see
That they were stringing him along like
sin.
1t sounds SO pleasant to his ear
To hear a voter swear
That he will be elected, as he should.
The candidate is certain
That the voter will be there
Election day to make his promise good
And so he hands him out cigars.
It sounds SO good and straight,
The voter cannot lay it on too strong,
And then he goes his way and meets
Another candidate
And sings to him the same alluring song.
The candidates are known to be
Sophisticated, but
They think the rules to them do not ap-
ply,
And so they count the promises
And feel that they must cut
A swath that's bound to make their to-
tails high.
They know it is a jolly
When to other men applied;
To them it is the truth as man to man
Until they wake up later
When the thing is cut and dried
And find they only are an also ran.

where the Man shouId Walk.

A matter that is debated now and
then of late is in regard to the posi-
ton that a man shall take when es'
corting a lady on the street. In this
country he always takes the position
next to the curb. In Europe he takes
the inside place, the theory being that
in case of any trouble he would crowd
the lady if on the outside and give her
less opportunity to escape. If the es-
cort> is on the right and the crowd
turns to the right, it will be more like
ly to jostle the lady.

Linked Eyebrows,

1t is popularity believed that If ones
eyebrows meet it indicates deceit.
Charles Kingsley indorses this belief,
POLITICALLY speaks Of married brows."
In Turkey meeting eyebrows are
greatly admired, and the women use
artificial means to bring the brows to
this condition, and If art cannot in
duce thin eyebrows to grow they make
up by drawing black line with paste.
It would appear that the Greeks adj
mired brows which almost met, and
the fashionable inhabitants Of Rome
not only approved of them. but re-
sorted to pigments to make up the
lack which sometimes existed.
Some proverbs state that the person
whose eyebrows meet will always
have good luck, while others state ex-
actly the reverse. The Chinese say
that people whose eyebrows meet
can never hope to attain to the dig
nifty of a minister of state" and in
Greece of today the man whose brows
meet is said to be vampire, while in
Denmark and Germany it is said he
is a werewolf.-London Standard.
