Johns Letter.

The other day white hand beckoned
us into the Corner Store" The owner
of the hand was and is Mrs. Sadie Hsr-
low, and the Corner Store" is MILL
merry store aud Mrs. Harlow is the pro-
prietress. She wished to show us how
she had arranged things and how dec
Grated. To say that it is bower of
beauty would not be enlarging the truth.
1t is certainly unique and is restful to
the eve. She is an artist and is in her
element, and we wish her success.
When the spring and summer hats have
burst into bloom the beauty Of the
bower will be greatly enhanced, no
doubt
o, yes, we have critics optic for
the feminine headgear, and think we
know what is becoming to the wearer,
but that which is Swallowed by the hat
or the "love of bonnet" has always
had greater attractions for US ever since
we were a toddler. A bachelors con-
fesSion. We never look on the school
children at play on the campus nor meet
them on the street without glow at the
heart and the starting into life of the
memories of the long ago. But they
know nothing about that and care moth
ing, and that is the sadness of it.
Well, we hope the little mothers,
every one of Them, when summer comes
again, will be the sole owner of a cum
ming little hat from the "Corner Store"
a hat with roses on it bright as the
roses on their cheeks, and something
among the roses that will sparkle like
their eyes.
Ever read the particulars of the battle
royal that was fought in Delaware few
months ago between the home-savers
and the home-destroyers, and how the
women folks after doing up the break
fast dishes put on their bunnits' and
went forth, and what pretty fight they
put in? Ii was practically woman
victory, and now Delaware is "dry."
Then the women folks came home to
their darning and patching, their baking
and boiling, their stewing and frying
and housecleaning and rocking the
cradle of the world some more. Good
folks. JOHN.

WHEN LOST IN THE WOODS.
The Chief Dangers Lie In Panic and
Overexertion.

OVereXertion.
Let the man who is lost in the woods
be very careful not to overexert him.
self. His chief dangers lie in panic
and overexertion, and, though he may
be in a great hurry to find shelter, /
must warn him to go slowly. Two
miles an hour, on an average, through
the snow in the woods is all that a
man in his condition will be able to
stand without overfatigue and its at
tendant dangers, overheating and per-
SEPARATION. By exercising caution
man may live through a week of what
he is undergoing.
To make this article brief, however,
we shall suppose that he regains the
road by the afternoon of the first day.
He doesn't yet know, of course, just
where he is He should examine the
tracks of the person who last passed
that way. 1t being afternoon, he must
follow in the direction taken by the
last passing vehicle or team, as shell
ter will be nearest in that direction.
Had it been morning he would have
taken the opposite direction, as who
ever made the tracks must have come
from the place where he obtained shell
ter the previous night.-A. B. Carleton
in Outing Magazine.
