Some Varieties Of Rain.

Rain is principally composed of wa
ter but it should not be confused
with mining stock
Rain always comes on Sunday after
Moons and washdays.
Washday may be changed to any
day in the week systematically or
indiscriminately but the rain will
come.
Sunday afternoon, however, cannot
be changed to any other afternoon,
The rain will hold off until you are
ready to go driving, and then the word
will be passed along the mysterious
currents of the air and a double order
of cirrus and cumulus will be hurried
in from the west
Also. in the morning when you
leave home and carry your umbrella
and raincoat, the rain will go away
and sulk. But if you take heart of
the fair sky and leave the umbrella
and other trimmings then the rain
will wait until you leave the office
and then get you incidentally it will
tuck a few grip and rheumatism
germs in to your system.
Rain is good for the crops, but why
it takes you for a crop is hard to un-
derstand.
Rain never brought fame to anyone
except Noah. Probably on the day
the flood began he watched the last

returned to the fence.
The colonel stopped a little girl,
Annie Trykowkski. He asked her her
age, and she said she was 10. she
didn't look it. Annie was mighty proud
when she informed the colonel that
she worked in the silk mill, not as
a bobbin girl. which is the kindergar-
ten step of the trade, but as wind
er. She told the colonel she worked
from $50 o'clock in the morning until
5:45 o'clock in the evening. and she
was well paid for her labor. Roose-
welt shook hands with her and walk
ed on with Miss Sanville and Miss
Cochran. Lawrence Abbott trailed
along behind.
The first person of real picturesque
type the contributing editor encoun-
tered was Jake Kavanaugh, miner.
Kavanaugh was grimy and dirty. on
his head was his miners cap and
lamp. The colonel hailed him and
began to talk.
In about two minutes Roosevelt
and Kavanaugh were Fastening to
the miners house a half mile away.
The colonel bombarded his new
friend with all sorts of questions.
They stepped on the front porch and
Roosevelt played with the two little
kiddies while Jake Kavanaugh told
his wife to cut out her dishwashing
and be sociable. Jake, however. had
not the slightest idea that his guest
was the ex-presidenr of the United
States.
With the Kavanaughs the colonel
talked about social conditions in
Dickson. The miner volunteered the
information that there were no
amusements calculated to entertain
the young folks, and said he regard
ed it as disgraceful The colonel re-
marked that the dance halls connect
ed with the saloons were bad things
for young women. He remained at
Kavanaughs half an hour. told him
who he was and went away, leaving
them flabbergasted. That was just
exactly what Roosevelt was looking
for.
The colonel gave a nickel each to
three youngsters. He told them to
buy candy but they flew into the
store and purchased brilliantly col
ored pictures of a Mr.. johnson beat
ing up Mr.. Jeffries. That seemed
to tickel the colonel.

L'eNvol OF THE HOOKED GOWN.

L'ENVOl OF THE HOOKED GOWN
When the last hooked gowns in the
rag.bag and the hooks are rusty
and bent,
When the buttoned gowns are but
toned and the dressmakers cease
to invent
Dark schemes to annoy poor nus
bands and weary and worn and
old,
When our thumbs have ceased from
their aching, our heated remarks
grown cold,
We shall rest-and, faith, We shall
need it-at peace in golden
chair
Shall loll on a sort of throne like the
man who'd the nerve to swear,
And the man who set out with the
wrong hook and ended the game
in fix
Shall hear the cold ice tinkling whore
The drinks of the gods they mix,
There shall he no pads to confuse us,
no store shapes to get in their
place,
No foolish, silly contraptions, en-
broidery or Irish lace,
But all the hooking we do there on
that mythical, friendly star
Shall be with sensible harness up
the back of things as they are.

is not showing up like a Wagner in

gameness. which is one of the great
est requisites of a winning ball player.
Several clubs had their eyes on Flynn
while with st. Paul last season, but
it was not until in December that the
Pittsburg club purchased him. There
was a wide difference Of opinion as to
Flynn's chances to make good with
