 Face in the Mirror.

philandering around so much with the boys in a way that might or might not count; but everybody recalled that both girls were Is when Eliza Alice engineered Samantha Ann out of the church choir after hearing someone re- mark that Samantha Ann was the bet ter singer. Of course that stirred up an awful rumpus, and the congrega- tion took sides on the matter which resulted in the preacher handing in his resignation.
 The next one they hired was young man just out of college. He was unmarried, and the church trus- tees reasoned that if he called on Eliza Alice Oftener than was neces- sary 10 make up a schedule of the music for the next Sunday they could call in justice of the peace, or some other hitching artist, to make them one, and thus avoid the talk that all ways hurts the church in the eyes of some.
 The young preacher didn't cotton to Eliza Alice-at first. Samantha Ann had just realized that she was a young lady and when her mother first ar rayed her as such she was a dream of innocence, beauty, lowered organ die and a strand of five-cent glass beads. The young man escorted her home one evening from prayer meet ing and sat out on the front porch talking to her for over an hour The next day all the town was talking about what fine couple they would make-all but Eliza Alice; she pulled Pa Jones leg for the price of a brand new outfit, and for the next few days the hum of the sewing machine was heard in the Jones home
 The next time the preacher called at the Jones mansion to leave the slip containing the numbers of the hymns for the following Sunday, Eliza Alice met him at the door, took his hat and hung it up beside dads in the hall, seated him in the easiest chair and played rag time on the piano until he began to drum with his fingers on the arm of his chair. after which she switched to dreamy love songs. In this manner she got him keyed up just right to land on the sofa, and then brought out the family album as an excuse to get up real close together and occasionally touch his hand with hers; in about umpsteen minutes she had him under perfect control, and he began to wonder if two could live on his salary.
 From that time on Samantha Ann was in the discard; she was scrt of

whu Not Re Independent? :?

It seems to me that many people miss the true savor of outdoors by de pending too much on the assistance Of others One finds on all sides tales of how men go into the wilds and give themselves over to the enjoyment of nature, but somewhow many of these stories show plainly that it was not the sportsman who did things. Too often the sophisticated reader and out door man detects the fact that it was the guides skill which brought the game in range of the rifle. The guide did the tracking. or he called the moose. or he pointed out the game for the hunter to see. Somehow most trips into the wilds are not declara- lions of independence. They are. in fact, plain statements of dependence upon anothers skill another's knowI- edge and another's strength. Alter the guide has driven the deer 10 ones stand-"To make a long story short half an hour passed before George. the guide, who had come up, finally found the deer dead" Then when wet leaves gave good stilI-hunting guide and I still-hunted" and it was the guide who got the shots. do not de cry the value of guides. though I never hired but one. writes Raymond s. Spears in Recreation. If one is really incapable of getting through the woods alone. then stick to the guide like burr. If one wants packers, cooks and other servants, well and good. It does save time to have ones meals prepared and dishes washed by another. But when it comes to the ac- tual hunting, why not strike out alone and shoot game without the assistance of another's eyes. another's ears. and another's rife. which happens ire quently when a guide with a gun is alongside at every stride.

The Story of Samantha Ann and Eliza Alice
BY HIRAM RICE

The scheduled time for the arrivals of Samantha Ann and Eliza Alice were so near the same that the stork took the liberty of running a double header, thus saving himself an extra trip.
 Samantha Ann and Eliza Alice cut their teeth at the same time, so their mothers had little opportunity to hang over the backyard fence and com pare notes; but when the mud pie period arrived they made up for lost time. The first coolness became no ticeable during the Sunday school epoch. Each mother endeavOred to dress her offspring better than the other and it was remarked by the neighbors that Samantha Ann was a regular little lady while Eliza Al ice would go home with one stocking down and the other at half mast, her pig tail ribbons streaming. and tear in the new dimity gown that her mother had worked on till nearly mid night to have ready for Sunday.
 By the time the school period had come there was a trail of white frost along the top of the backyard fence between the Smith and Jones lots.
 Samantha Ann was developing into a pretty little girl, while Eliza Alice was going the other way as fast as she could She had enough red hair to stuff mattress, turned-up nose and 50 freckles to each square inch of facial epidermis
 A sudden change came over Eliza Alice when she was about A. The clerk in the village store reported to his wife that she had bought a pair of corsets, and her next new dress was ankle length She began to talk to the other girls about her figure, put her hair up, and tease her father for money to buy freckle re- moving dope
 No one could remember when she had her first beau, because she was

An Amusinu Controversy.

An amusing controversy is going on in Berlin between Miss Olga Desmond and the Prussian diet regarding the cult of beauty. As may be remem- bered, the lady is an altogether dan eer who fayors the unelothed truth as a sartorial principle Dr. Roeren. who led the onslaught on her. has been called down by her solicitor, who draws attention to the fact that he made use Of certain very harsh terms in his references to her. But Herr Roeren declines to enter into corre- srondenee with the alluring Miss Das- mond-wise man,-either directly or indirectly, as to his parliamentary ac- tivity" in calling her by vigorous ad- jectives. The affair has attracteI an enormous amount of attention in Der lin circles. and the dancer is not likely to suffer any immediate pecuniary loss through the debate in the diet. It is, declares the Boston Herald, good deal as if the beauteous Miss Garden should be haled up for her postu:iugs in Strauss music drama by an nsen- sate member of congress; therefore Dr. Roeren's interpolation on the cult of the nude falls fiat, while Berlin smiles.

Paris streets must be in a queer way when the prefect Of police. NJ. Lepine has to issue a mandate that it is a pun ishable offense to throw orange or ba- mana skins into the streets. and that anyone eating an orange in them will be watched by eagle-eyed policemen. II is embarrassing enough to eat an orange without the police inspecting the operation, and to conceal evil dences of the crime must be worse yet But NJ. Lepine's order is absolute. He says it is a detestable habit, that it en- dangers life. for the fruit eater is self ish. and casts away the slippery skins, regardless of who may slip on them and break a bone No. not even into the gutter can any such refuse go!
