THE PLoWMAN.

TIRST in the field. before the red
dening sun;
Last in the shadows when the day
II is done,
Line after line along the bursting
sod
Marks the broad acres where his feet
have trod.
Still where he treads the stubborn clods
divide,
The smooth. fresh furrow opens deep and
wide;
Matted and dense the tangled turf up
heaves;
Mellow and dark the ridgy cornield
cleaves.
Up the steep hillside, where the laboring
train
elants the long track that scores the level
plain,
Through the moist valley clogged with
oozing clay,
The patient ave breaks its destined
way.
At every turn the l~oosening chains re-
sound,
The swinging plowshare circles glistening
round
TIL the wide field one billowy waste ap-
pears
And wearied hands unbind the painting
steers.

A Question of Black.

Many women and all men entertain
the fallacious idea that in the realm OF
dress black is universally becoming.
As a matter of fact. black is one of the
most trying colors to wear successful
ly. 1t brings out every hard line OF
face and shoulders III it be decolletel
and destroys the beauty of any usual
face. Ii you select black for your
gown. consider the %softness and tex
ture of your skin and carefully weigh
the possibility of adding five or ten
years to your age.
Black is eminently becoming to some
women when relieved by a touch OF
brilliant color at a place where any
strong contrast will be lessened. A
broad band Of sapphire blue oil emer-
aid green placed across the upper part
OF the corsage at the top of the collar
or edging the sleeves will do much to
make this serviceable color wearable.
A popularity of black is that 1t has
a tendency to dominate o women.
1t is the .'woman III the black gown"
which is merely another way OF sug-
Testing that the wearer has been plac-
ed in the background. AS a general
rule, black is worn with greater adj
vantage by tall women. who are able
TO carry a robe Of silk or velvet with
the queenly air OF which the poets
sing.
The Titan haired woman with her
milk white skin looks extremely well
in black. The possessor of blue-black
hair and a skin like old ivory is also al
her best In black. The intense golden
haired woman with vivid coloring car
wear 1t with becoming grace.
For the rest of womankind 1t is safer
TO eschew this hue.

Thrifty Jerseymen and Building
Associations

The Elizabeth Journal pays a de-
served compliment to the New Jersey
Building Association as follows:
New Jerseys building and loan as
soc~iations are today one of its best as
sets for advertising the thrift and pros
perity of the State. In real estate circles
in New York they are being more and
more talked about. They are figuring
more and more prominently In the crit
zeal reviewso of the real estate situation in
this section of the country. 1t is safe
to say in no State in the Union are
they doing better work or promising
larger usefulness for the communities
which are enjoying their advantages.
The figures even for some of our local
associations are getting too big for easy
comprehension except by those who
are accustomed to statistics, but it is
not forgotten that these figues stand
for individual systematic saving and
sacrifice.

A Lesson For Nellie.

Mrs. Washington was a strict disci-
plinarian about certain matters and
among other things always required
the members of the household to fol-
low the example Of her husband and
dress for dinner, which was at 8
o'clock. On one occasion Nellie Gus
It's and her cousin, Martha cambridge,
appeared at the table In their morning
gow1s. Duf no comment vas made
upon 1t until a coach was seen APP
preaching and the visitors. some
French officers of high rank and
Charles Carroll, Jr., of CarrolIton, one
of Miss Custis' ardent s%uitors, were
announced. Instantly the girls, in a
1utter Of excitement, begged to be ex-
cused In order to change their gowns.
but Mrs. Washington shook her head.
NO." she said. Remain as you are.
A costume good enough for President
Washington Is good enough for any
guest of his" Needless to say, Miss
Nellie never overlooked her proper
garb for dinner again. = National

Bond Issues

It is rather surprising that within a
week after the City of Philadelphia
failed to negotiate an $4,000, 900 four
per cen bond issue the Pennsylvania
Railroad succeeded in floating an SILL
DOC, 900 four per cent. loan, pledging
freight equipment as collateral. 1t
cannot be said that the railroad col
lateral is a better security than that
behind the city's bonds. We attributed
the failure of the city loan to the OPP
portunities for obtaining a higher in
interest rate from stocks and mort
cages, but the placing of the "Pennsy"
four per cent. loan shows that other
factors entered into the situation. The
extravaganza of the Reyburn admin
istration; litigation questioning the
legality of the bond issue; the heavy
debt already b%urdening the city-these
and perhaps other things arousing dis
trust, probably had their effect in dis
couraging bond buyers from taking the
city loan. Or there may have been an
agreement to hold aloof so as to COM
pei the city to increase the interest rate.
But however we may speculate as to
the cause, the bald fact remains that
the credit Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, with all its enormous 5onded
debt, is better than the credit of the
City Of Philadelphia.-Camden Post

Any one who was familiar with the
appearance of the Niagara falls before
the present power installations were
built and opened can settle the ques-
ton as to whether the appearance OF
the falls has been affected by going to
see for himself. Small though the to-
tai amount of water taken for power
purposes in proportion to the total
amount passing over the falls may be.
it has been sufficient to cause the shall
lower portions of the overflow at the
edges Of the falls to become entirely
dry, thereby greatly reducing the to-
tai length of the crest line.

TO RENDER ODIOUS
new RAILROAD BILL
fBy Union Associated Press.)


Chicago, Aug. 1S.-Plans for render
ing odious the administrations rail
road bill, which became effective to-
day. are believed to have been agreed
upon by the principal railroad sys-
TENS of the country. One of the
methods, it is ALLEGED, will be cut in
the wages of employees which will
force them, in self protection, to vote
for congressional candidates approved
by the railroads as not inimical to
their interests. The grand army OF
railway workmen is no small factor
in the result of elections.
Rumors of general and widespread
reductions in wages are now heard
in. railway circles all over the West.
It is likely that concerted action will
not be taken until fall, when the
dwindling earnings from grain ship
ments will begin to reduce the income
of the railroads.
That the railroads are intent upon
general and sweeping increase in
freight rates has already been made
evident.
