She peered out at him, her laughing
face round and mischievous. Her
dress was of olden style, with huge
panniers at the side and a trim, laced
bodice with a low French neck and
little puff sleeves. One tiny foot stuck
out saucily in high heeled French
boot.
Andrew stared at her amazed. The
arched eyebrows and delicate face
were patrician. She might have just
stepped out Of some old French paint
ing. Why had he not noticed her as
he snapped the picture? 1t was all

him:
"Any little French court ladies
around here" he inquired.
Andrew opened the door, and Lemuel
came In, a puzzled expression on his
honest old face.
"Not that know Of" he answered.
"Well, then, I'm seeing things"
laughed Andrew, because I saw one
In the woods yesterday, puffs and ruff

"You did," exclaimed Lemuel slow

Then, to Andrews surprise, Lemuel
quickly took the key from the lock
and, putting 1t in again on the outside
Of the door, went out, locking 1t behind
him.
Andrew pounded and yelled in rage
and surprise, but all to no purpose. A
half hour went by; then a carriage
drew up to the door, and second lat

entered, strange gentleman with him.

Andrew brought 1t sulkily forth, not

explained the doctor after minute,
still laughing.
Andrew smiled. Dianthe!
How the name fitted her!

Jersey Chamberlin--Reporter.

Jersey Chambrriin, called by many
newspaper men the greatest reporter
that ever lived. acquired his journalistic
fame through service in the New York
Sun.
Chamberlin' nickname came from his
first position on the Sun-New Jersey
correspondent. He was little man in
stature and careless of dress He
looked" said one who knew him
like plumber on his day off" but
no one ever talked to him for ten min
ute> without understanding that this
was Il great big man.
Chamberlin put on the harness when
he was Is and he died in harness at
81. Following the Boxer expedition
into Pekin he got Il disease of the liver
which carried him off few months
later at Carlsbad. There were three
Chamberlin brothers. ali newspaper
men. and all died at work. Before he
left for that last venture Chambrrlin
promised his wife that he would write
home every day. giving her the by
product of his writing. He kept his
promise. and those letters. pubIiShs Il

all alone. The other newspapers sent
out an army OF men to cover the cele

POISON IVY DANGEROUS NOW.
All Sohuld Learn to Recognize and
Avoid It-A Remedy for Poisoning.

I &AAA SonoAd ACd1h " NeCUYulZ6 anu
Avoid It-A Remedy for Poisoning.
Fall is the ideal time of year for
taking long health giving walks. The
next eight or ten weeks of glorious In
dian summer will bring frosty mornings
that will color the leaves more and
more brilliantly each day for a little
whlle-then cold rains-sharp winds
and winter.
So take all the invlgorating long
walks in the woods that you can, but
look out for poison ivy Learn to
recognize and avoid it.
There are certain unmistakable points
by which poison ivy may be recognized,
and accurately distinguished from its
prototype, the Virginia creeper, even
by child
The most important difference and
an infallible test, is in the arrangement
of its leaves. The poison ivy invariably
grows its leaves in clusters of three;
the Virginia creeper in clusters of five.
1t is always safe to look with serious
suspicion upon any vine with three
leaf cluster, for there is the poison
oak, and other equally dangerous vines
to guard against.
In the early spring the poison ivy
has small greenish flower, which is
followed in the fall by purple berries,
which, combined with its brilliant
leaves, give it an especially attractive
appearance.
The immediate symptoms are an in
tense itching followed by infiamed and
swollen flesh, with watery blisters.
A doctor cannot always be quickly
reached in case of poisoning, but
there is simple remedy anyone can
apply. 1t is solution of sugar OF
lead in weak alcohol. 1t is worth try
ing and has often proved to be effective
but the lead itself. it must be remem-
bered, is poison if swallowed
A thoroughly reliable remedy which
gives quick and permanent relief is a
solution of two drains of muriate OF
affected parts should be thoroughly
bathed several times day for week
or so in this solution. If the case is
severe one then keep soft cloths
moistened with this solution bound over
the poisoned flesh until relieved.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture gives the following rem
edy:
In practice it is not desirable to
use strong alcohol. which is apt to be
too irritating to sensitive surface,
but Il weaker grade of from 80 to 10
per cent is recommended To this,
powdered sugar of lead is to be added
until no more will readily dissolve !
The milky fluid should then be well
rubbed into the affected skin, and the |
operation repeated several times dur
ing the course of Il few days. The itch
ing is at once relieved, and the further
spread of the eruption is checked. The
remedy has been tried in large mum
Der of cases and always has proved |
successful. 1t must be remembered.
however. that the lead solution is
poisonous if taken internally. In de-
stroying poison ivy or similar plants
