LITTLE THINGS.

A goodbye kiss is little thing;
With your hand on the door to go.
But it takes the venom out Of the
sting
OF thoughtless word or a cruel
fling
That you made an hours ago.
A kiss of greeting is sweet and rare
After the toll of the day;
And it smooths the burrows plowed
by care,
The lines on the forehead you once
called fair
In the years that have flown away.
IT'S a little thing to say. You are
kind;
love you, my DEAR" each night;
But it sends thrill thro' the heart.

For Love is tender and Love is
blind
As we climb life's rugged height.
We starve each other for Loves ca

We take, but we do not give;
1t seems so easy some soul to bless,
But we dole the love grudgingly. less

Till It's bitter and hard to live.

PLEASURE IN LITTLE THINGS.

There is no more pleasant friend or agreeable
companion than the one who finds amusement and
interest in even the smallest things; there is no
more depressing or disagreeable than he or she
who always has some fault to find or unpleasant
comment to make with everything which life can
produce.
There are those who seem to think it shows an
up-to-dateness to be hard to please or gives them
the appearance of fastidous taste which they i'm
agine is refined. Again, others do it for no other
reason than to be contrary to differ from Others
If this is up-to-dateness refinement, may we long
be preserved from these qualities. And we choose
by our own will to be discontinued with everything
and disagreeable with those with whom we asso-
ciate when we might be otherwise, why, we richly
deserve the discomfort for which to all appear
ances we are aiming. Our aim should be to make
the best of life, and get out of all the peasanness
we can while making it chief motto to make
it agreeable and pleasant for those around US
If we ourselves do not to be pleased, we GER
tainly will not find pleasure in things. little or

great If we make up our minds to listen to take
notice. and and enjoy the small pleasures when they
come our way, the battle will be half won. If we
have fallen into the "disagreeable pit" let climb
out again as soon possible.
Many of us are disagreeable and poor compan-
ions for the simple reason we don't half listen to
what is spoken to u.s. and therefore lose the pleas
ure and richness of what is being spoken to us:
we only hear it with half ear, while our thoughts
are elsewhere, and consequently it is good as lost
on our mind and pleasure capacity.

making yarn out of paper. Such mills already
exist in Germany and France, and have drawn
some attention in England as well as in the United

shades of half grey, half brown, with a dash of green, are considered especially chic in linen, and the ash grays are nex to them in popularity. All the wistar ias and queer fruity lavenders and pur pies, the off tones in rose, the odd blues the coppery browns and gold and mus. tard and khaki yellows, the almond and pistache and absinthe greens, all these eolors and many others may be found in linens this season.
 The medieval mode and it's enthusias. tic promotion by Paquin and Redfern has some influence on even the frivo- ious summery frocks. Authoritative Mover Age frocks are shown in Paris, made of sheerest null with cuirasses--- or fitted basques to the hip-made of heavy all-over embroidery, closely shaped to the figure; the long trailing skirt and tucked sleeves being of soft. CT material. Little boleros of the heavy all-over work are also seen on the liger- ie frocks of soft null, and some of these froeks show skirts gathered all around at the waistline to this little fitted bo- lero in tight-fitting style. This is a typical Marie Antoinette or "Louis " style and is an authoritative indication of what is coming.
 Cherries and plums in all states of greenness, ripeness and decay, have again become popular and are used ex- tensively for hat decoration.
 Silk and wool fishnet is another of the new mixtures to be had in well stocked shops and are used for many purposes.
 It seems that white linen will be worn less this summer than in former seasons, but gray, tan, khaki and even darker shades will be extremely popu- lar.
 Daggers of tortoise shell and studded with artificial stones are among the most popular hair ornaments of the day. Cultures continue to be very flat on top, and center parting is very much affected.

THIS IS MY 56sT BIRTHDAY
SAMUEL D1cK1E.

Dr. Samuel Dickie, whose joint de bates of the prohibition question with Mayor Rose of Milwaukee attracted widespread attention recently, was born in Oxford county, Ontario, June 6, 1851. With his parents he emigrated to the United States at an early age and his education was received at Albion col, lege, Michigan. From 1877 to 1887 he held the professorship of astronomy at Albion. When he resigned from the college faculty it was to engage in bus mess, in which he proved eminently sue cessful. His active interest in public affairs led to his election to the mayor atty of Albion, in 1896. He became ar ardent prohibitionist and soon was rec ognized as one of the national leaders of that party. For a number of years he held the chairmanship of the nation al prohibitionist committee and in 1SSf he was the party candidate for gover nor of Michigan. Since 1901 Dr. Dick ie has been president of Albion col lege.

FREE OF DISEASE AFTER
 MANY YEARS ON LEPER ISLAND

HONOLULU, June 4.--After some of them had spent twenty years of their life in the leper colony on the Island of Molokai, ten or eleven supposed lepers who were returned here at the instance of the territorial legislative committee for re-examination, have been found free of the disease. Of these two are boys of six and seven years, but the others vary in age from p to 79, and some of them have spent many years in the settlement.
 A pathetic feature of the re-examina- tion is the probability that some of the older patients win petition to be returned to the island, as they have been shut off from the world and their friends so long that they have no place else to go.
 A few of the patients were sent to the settlement before the bacteriolog- ical test for leprosy was discovered,
