The other woman tossed aside her
knitted shawl and warmed her hands
at the drum stove where the apple
wood smoke curled fragrantly from
the cracks. There's more news than

You've heard tell about the hermit
of Rocky Hole?" she asked -.
I've heard the children tell tales
about such a person" admitted Grace,

Mrs. Stevens nodded her head em-

"Hermits have that reputation, be-

me, Is your news about this hermit ?"
Yes. You see, he's been coming
here for years. Every spring when
the first robin comes that hermit
makes his appearance; nobody ever
gets very close to see him for he has
big dog to keep folks off. And
don't know how he gets his foodstuff
because he don't trade in the village
maybe lives on roots and berries
and such truck. He's an old man
with long white beard and he walks
with stick as If he were lame"
What becomes of him in the win

Some say he goes to the city and
plays an organ on the street corner.

FLESHY WOMAN FINDS FAULT
Has Not a Good Word to Say for
Froeks or Millinery Of
This Season.

1t is interesting to note the anima
ton with which women, or rather
some women. attack the present
styles. 1t is invariably the woman of
flesh who is the most emphatic in dis.
approval. Not good word is to be
said by her for frocks or millinery of
this season.
Hats are imprudently absurd, skirts
immodestly cut, jackets trivial. and
even the efforts of great dressmakers
dubbed futile and unconvincing, as she
tells it. 1t is season, according to
the woman whose hips refuse to re-
move themselves. of grotesque absuA.
dities. The hysterical note is struck.
So why argue?
Whether we argue or not, certain
things must be acknowledged. The
present fashions In some directions
have reached such perfection that to
condemn them is ridiculous, to ignore
them impossible, So let us forget the
fact that our too comfortable contours
refuse brazenly to confine themselves
within the slim limits of the present
silhouette and see If we cannot Judge
Of the fashions Of the day with an
unbiased eye. If not with entirely un-
trammeled hips.

themselves in such artistic grace:

They are In a great measure re-

ed to our needs and environment that
they are accepted with enthusiasm by
the intelligent few. The lover of color
and line re1oices in their existence,
the beauty-loving eye revels In their

the bandeau. Heron aigrettes are uset
here. but, as these are likely to fall
into disuse on account of the crusade
against them, and a growing public
sentiment adverse to their use, 1t is
best to make another selection. The
feathers of the goura or crown pigeon
are equally effective, and may be worn
with clear conscience, or compare
lively clear conscience at least.
The wearing of heron, by the way,
Is prohibited by law in several states,
and In July of next year 1t is said a
law will go into universal effect pro
hibiting the buying. selling or wearing
of these feathers. AS they are very
expensive, 1t Is best not to invest In
them. There are so many pretty feath-
ers to choose from that cannot dis

woman Of taste to make another
choice.

they say. Well, what was going to
tell you about Is this: Mr.. Lane, the
storekeeper, says he believes the old
man is sick or dying or something"
"Why?"
Somebody heard him calling for
help yesterday morning, some hunter
who was passing along the upper road
that's seldom used-it leads almost
underneath where the Rocky Hole is.
So the man hollered up and asks If
anything Is the matter Just then the
hermit began to throw stones down
on him, round stones, big enough to
knock man senseless. So the hunt

it? Surely, somebody will go up and

WHALE Melted FORTUNE.

It Yielded Oil and Something Else,
Ambergris Worth $4,000.
In vault at the headquarters of a
wholesale drug firm in Boston are about
100 pounds of ambergris. It is valued
at $4,000, according to experts.
Trade quotations give the present
market value Of ambergris at from $40
to SIS an ounce. The 100 pound pack
age is by far the largest amount of am
bergris received in Boston or New Eng
land In many years and is said to be
Of uncommonly high quality. It was
picked up by the crews Of the bark
Bertha, Captain Ben Vera, and the
brig Viola, Captain John A. Cook, who
found it while whaling off the coast
Of Africa in December.
The crews Of the Bertha and Viola
were pursuing sperm whales when
the lookouts sighted several spouting
in the sunlight. One fellow about thir-
ty feet long Jagged behind the others.
he was sluggish, and it happened that
the harpoons which simultaneously
pierced his sides came from small
boats from both ships. That's why
the crews are dividing the spoils.
The laggard yielded only fifteen bar
rels Of oil, but the grumbling Of the
whalers was dispelled by the huge
black lump Of ambergris taken from
him.

new PENSION SCHEME.

Woman Would Have Government Help
Widows Who Have Young Children.
Widows with children of school age
or under should be pensioned by the
government, and when the children are
Of age they should be made to pay a
certain amount toward the mothers
maintenance, in the opinion Of Mrs
Frederick l.. Mahn, secretary Of the
Fathers and Mothers club of Boston.
She says:
"When a child is between eight and
fourteen years Of age he needs the
most careful attention. Character is
in the formative stage. The mother is
constantly needed then.
1.-THE average woman who loses her
husband will struggle earnestly to keep
her family together. Physical and
mental weakness induced by such ef-
fort too often results in lamentable
failure, and the mother becomes a
derelict

SACCHARIN BARRED.

Government Forbids Its Use-Said to
Disturb Digestion.
All persons having a desire for
something sweet must find OTHER
means of satisfying the craving than
saccharin. That popular substitute
for sugar will be forbidden after July
1. The fat of the agricultural de-
partment prohibiting the use of sac
charm in any food product has gone
forth.
Saccharin TECHNICALLY is a product Of
coal tar. It is used as a substitute
for sugar and is 300 per cent sweeter
than sugar. The objection to saccha-
rim is that it is a disturber Of diges-
ton.
The decision is Of the most sweep
ing nature. It directly affects more
than thirty different classes of food,
including soft drinks, sweet pickles,
jellies, jams and also some makes of
beer.
The referee board Of consulting SCI
entifc experts in it's report says:
"The continued use Of saccharin for
a long time in quantities oyer three
tenths Of a grain per day is liable to
impair digestion. The addition of
saccharin as a substitute for cane
sugar or other forms of sugar reduces
the food value of the sweetened prod
uct and hence lowers its quality

M'LEANS Blame
HOPE.D DIAMOND
Their Cook Quit Her Job and a
Maid Became / J
SOON after THEY BOUGHT IT
Reasons For Rejecting the Gem Are
Given by the McLeans, Who Are Be-
ing Sued For $4,000, the Alleged
Purchase Price.

Purchase Price.
When the Hope diamond, the famous
blue gem which has left trail Of mis-
fortune behind it ever since it was dis
covered, was purchased recently by
Edward B. Mclean, son of John r.
Mclean Of Washington, from the Car.
tiers of New York and Paris, Mr.. Nc
Lean caused to be inserted in the DUR
chasing contract clause to the effect
that if any ill luck should befall any
Of the Mclean family within six
months after the date Of purchase the
transaction was to be invalidated
Well, the ill luck fell with a des-
perate thud within two months after
he became the owner of the gem, Mr..
Mclean now alleges. It is his defense
in suit which has been opened by
the Carriers to recover the $1SO,OOO
with which he agreed tentatively to
part in exchange for the stone.
MI. Mclean declares in his defense
that the gem hardly had a chance to
twinkle a few tWinks in his home
when one of the maids fell ill, and
this fact was still disturbing the equa-
nimity of the household when the cook.
who Mr.. Mclean believed ranked as
an important factor in his home, wrap
ped her duds in her best Irish linen
handkerchiefs and announced that she
would be 'afther PAWN tn Job"
MI. Mclean Immediately shook his
fist at the Hope diamond, charged it
with making the maid i'll and driving
the cook out of the house and told the
Carriers it had broken it's contract and
that they had better come and take it
away.
Now, the Carriers wouldn't do any
such thing, although not denying that
the illness of the maid and the seces-
sion of the cook were calamitous.
What they contended was that neither
the maid nor the cook was a member
Of the Mclean family. Mr.. Mclean
tells woefully of the indigestion that
has come to him with a new cook and
declares the maid and the cook who
left are the rooftree and the hearth
stone and the front door bell of the
entire esta blishment.
Mrs. Mclean, who was Miss EVELYN
Walsh, takes the same view as her
husband and quite a few other per-
sons as to the pernicious influence that
goes with the Hope diamond, and she
doesn't want it around the house.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Thelr Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong
and Healthy.
(ESTABLISHED 1900

Thelr Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong
and Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-
toms pain in the back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma-
tism, gout, gravel, disorders of the
eyesight and hearing, dizziness, ir-
regular heart, debility, drowsiness,
dopsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But
if you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.
Thomas Post, Main St., Princeton,
Minn., says: my back was very
lame and I was annoyed by too fre-
quent desire to pass the kidney secre-
tions. Doan's Kidney Pills gave me
relief from these symptoms of kidney
complaint and greatly strengthened
my back. I feel justified in recon-
mending this remedy in view of the
benefit it has brought me.''
