Poor Dolly.
IF YOU were Dolly, wouldn't you
Be cold enough to freeze:
Suppose you had china head
And double jointed knees, /,
With springs that let the air risi
through
In ey'ry little crack;
you'd have neuralgia all the time
And shivers up your back.
How Dolly keeps her rosy cheeks
I really cannot tell:
T know there must be many days
She can't be very well.
Rnt could YOU see that blessed child
You surely would not think
That all her life those lovely eyes
Had never slept wink.
And though know she won't complain,
I must take care, you see,
For Dolly is the sweetest child,
And very dear to me.
And so l try the wisest way,
And keep her warm and well,
And judge her feelings by my own,
Cause dollies never tell.

born in a tepee, or Indian wigwam.
and lived there with her mother until
she was nine years old, came East to
school where Indian children were be-
ing taught and trained In the ways Of
the white children. She arrived late
one night, and found it very strange
indeed to sleep l.: such a bed as other
children are used to. Next day she
was dressed in clothing like the white
children's and her own loose bright
colored garments and soft beaded moe
casins were taken away from her. She
felt very shy and strange In the close
fitting brown calico gown, the stiff
shoes were most uncomfortable, but
the really hard part came when the
teacher approached her with big pair
of shears and began clipping of the
long, straight, black hair that hung to
her waist. Poor little Zitkala-Sa, know.
ing nothing of the strange tongue that
was spoken all around her. and feeling
that she must have been very naughty
indeed to deserve to lose her. hair.

to ride her pony over the Dakota hills.

DYKES, PRAYERS AND RAIN

A farmer bought 460 acres of land in Kansas. subject to overflow, for $3S an acre Since pro- tectlng the land with evees he has refused S125 an acre. The cost of the Ievees, $SOOO. was less than one-third the increase in value in five years, or profit on land of 75 per cent year. The saving of single years wheat crop. worth S9,OOO, more than paid the cost of protection and of that years crop, the calculation does not count seventy acres of corn.
 That was an instance of salvation by work. The exercise of faith was tried not far away. m Oklahoma The trouble there was not too much water, but too little. The land was thirsty for rain, and the crops were drying up. Presbyterian evangelist happened along. his energies were employed to pray for rain For ten days this good man offered petitions, but the drouth continued. Then came the Holiness sect, which prayed for two weeks, but the weather was hotter and drier Next was tried a Baptist preacher. He pitched his tent and asked that the heavens be opened The next morning the rain descended, the panting earth revived, and that particular part of Oklahoma IS profoundly impressed with the practical and meteorological value of the Baptist creed. Per haps it may be said that this was coincidence. But let the scoffers jeer The community en- joys the result of an uplift in faith and the material profit of the crops. What is the moral!

7he Sayings of Mrs. Solomon
Translated by Maude Marie.

Oh my daughter, where is thy sense of humor? For hast thou not heard men de- clare that they have been made in the image of the Lord; yet hast thou not seen one of them in bathing suit?
 Go to! A woman is foolish thing, which bindeth herself in tight corsets and pierceth her ears with holes and cruncheth her toes in French boots.
 Yea, she is slave to fashion!
 But man is independent He acknowl- edgeth no master and style and conventional ity are things unto him abhorrent.
 He weareth four-inch band of starched linen about his neck on July day because he enjoyeth it.
 He cutteth the hair from off his head and leaveth it to grow upon his face because he thinketh it beautiful; and a mustache which getteth into the coffee is delight to him.
 Yea, it is comfort, and not vanity which
 prompteth him to don wooden coat while the thermometer panteth at ninety degrees in the shade. For man is sensible
 Behold, it is not pride, neither fashion, which inspreth him to carry three pounds of stiff derby about upon his brain in the winter time and to bind his forehead in a straw hat, which induceth early badness, in the hottest weather.
 And if he clingeth unto his cloth hat until the 10th of May, even though the sun beat down upon it, and doffeth it upon that date, even though it be showing, it is not fear of public opinion that causeth him to do this, but nobility of character.
 Yet is it not pathetic to witness how he yearneth for beauty?
 Behold, how he worketh out quaint color schemes around the edges. Mark how his soul expandeth into green ties and purple socks and yellow shoes and pink monograms upon his shirt sleeves Lo, down in his heart of hearts, he cher isheth a desire to look like something human. Yet if thou puttest ten men in a TOW and cover their faces, thou canst not tell thine own husband from the lot, nor any one of them from a store dummy. And this is what man caeth the Image of his Maker! Selah!

AUTUMN HINTS FROM PARIS

Think not, husband, that your wife, uncer- tain, expensive and hard to please, is not hatch ing up toll and trouble for you in allopathic doses. Already the first whispers of it are seeping out of Paris, where the fall fashions in gowns are cOncocted.
 At present the styles are in the formative stage, and are almost entirely in the hands of the designers, who are beset with two great |questions- much does the woman want, and how much will the husband stand for? But mp to date there are certain fundamental prn- cipIes in the regarding of the female portion of the population, which have acquired more or less permanent 'set."
 To cling, or not to cling, and, if so, how much 1! seems to be the great query. We are told that the 'unbroken line at the waist" is still running strong, although nothing is said about the un- broken line at the paying g-teller's window. Further we hear that 'funess'' is the cry, but at the same time, mind you, fullness that does not detract from the clnging length line ; There, again, our commercial soul thinks of the waiting line. So we have it. The draperes must flow freely, and yet splash brightly over the pebbles when there is occasion for it, like a shallow brook. They must be diaphanous, but not too much so; candid but not talkative But there is an entirely new idea, which has not yet found entire favor with the ladies' We
 learn that on the heels of the laveuse has come the vetble polonaise, with fullness caught up at the back, or at each side of the back. In lother words, the arrangement looks as if an apron had been torn up the middle, carried around behind, and tied there with a splash bow. The trouble with the thing is obvious, even to the inartstic mind. It will have ten dency to destroy the ''even flow of line" past the waist which is not to be thought of this year. In the face of the storm of protest the very idea has called forth the designers, it l is rumored have found a way of effecting a compromise, and all woman waits to see what | it will be. It is admitted however, that even with the compromise working at its best, only a certain sort of figure will give to the style
 that inimitable and indescribabe Frenchness chic, cachet, or whatever it is, that is so de voutly sought. All others will be condemned for 'swathiness and bunchness'
 l It is a grave situation to have brewing over there in Paris, but above all things, let us sit tight, keep stiff upper lip, and swallow all signs of nervousness.
 Beyond that, morituri salutamus!

Amnsements of CoUeae Girls.

Amusements of College Girls.
 The president of Radcliffe college Harvard, Le Barron Russel Briggs, thinks that the col
 ege girls copy the college boys too much. He thinks time and money are wasted on comedy shows and in athletics. But he says ''l love to see girls take to dramatics think that there are few more enjoyable spectacles than seeing our girls do Much Ado or As You Like It. Iii Shakesperean style, al fresco or otherwise. think that girls, however, should abstain as much as possible from copying the boys in their so-calIed musical comedies, which are so much in vogue. 1 think girls should try to initiate the men, if they must initiate them, in thelr better moments Let them give plays like the old English classics or the old mysteries. They are worth more as literature and as drama The musical comedy of the modern stage is even in the opinion of many who frequent It often dull and nearly always vulgar. The fact that it serves as a model for the theatricals of boys social clubs should be to girls cause of regret, not stimulus to imitation"

The press agent sometimes needs restraint, especially in midsummer. A charming actress in New York, whose name in this story is of i'm
 portance only to herself, asked her to pretend
 to marry an Indian in Coney Island show, to add to the attractions of a benefit performance for charity She consented, rashly, it appears.
 She walked through crowd at the city hall. as she says, in anguish with the red man
 wrapped in blanket, to get a license. There upon the papers announced that she was really
 going to marry the exhibition savage. Such a sacrifice of Beauty to the Beast. The fair ar Itste summarizes past and future in the ve- hement declaration that she never did and never will marry an Indian. It may be noted that this positive declaration is, in its quoted terms, restricted to the red man.
