for this plebeian touch, he
was of the most unimreach-

under his buckskin shoes,

tie and a lavender striped

necessary for me to tell you,
Kent, how in Our talks l
came to divine in her a spirit

You do not want a love story

was for me almost from the
first-not openly, though.
There was that about her
which held me at arms length,
the mystery of her, her
quickly given trust in me, a
certain strained look that
came into her face, like the
startled attention of a wild
thing poised for flight, wher-

DEAR KENT: Here goes!
- l met her first on June
%, at three o'clock in the
afternoon. Some wonderful cloud
effects after a hard rain had
brought me out into the open.
l had pitched my easel in the
hollow, on the Martinda1e Road,
so as to get that clump of pine
against the sky. There l sat
working away with a will, when
1 heard the drumming of hoofs,
and a horse with a girl in the
saddle came whizzing round the
turn almost upon me. Just there
the rain had made a puddle of
thick, sticky mud, the mud pie
variety. AS the horse went by
at full gallop, a fine, fat, mud pie
landed in the middle of my

WHERE TO TAkF HIS MEASURE.

The place to take the true meas ure of a man is not in the market place or the amen corner, not the forum CT the field, but at his own fireside. There he lays aside his mask and you may learn whether he's imp or angel. king or cur. hero or humbug. l care not what the world says about him whether 1t crowns him with jewels or pelts him with bad eggs. I care never a copper what his reputation may be- If his babies dread his coming and his better half swallows her heart every time she asks him for a five dollar bill. he's a fraud of the first water. ever though he prays night and morn til be is black in the face and howls hallelajah til he shakes the eteral hills.

We are very particular about the Kind of seeds we put in our gar Aens. but not all the plants that start are frem our sowing. The wind carried some seed from a far of field where weeds grew rank al last summer. These weeds, al though you never saw them, and were not to blame for them grow

 It is the same way with the wee. $ of character. which we will name faults. Sometimes 2 person will think that his failings CT faults do not matter to other people, but only to Themselves, which is a great mistake.

There is great power in appear ance. You are usually judged by the way you look and you usually look the way you feel. But you can feel the way you like and you can live in any mental attitude you like. Therefore. discard all atti- tudes of inferiority. Never appear as if you were inferior.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 17.-Sixty
Indian chiefs. representing almost
the entire federation Of the Indian
nations, recently completed at a con-
vention In this city for the purpose
OF improving the condition Of the
American Indian, attended mass and
heard a sermon on the catholicity OF
religion in St. Pauls Catholic church
here today.
The red men came to the service
clad in huge fur coats, moccasins.
and In many instances wide brimmed
sombreros and bright -colored blan-
kets. Three lines OF pews, extend
ing clear across the church, were re-
served for them.
The sermon was delivered by Fa-
Their John d. Mcguire, Of the Catho-
lie University. and an interpreter re-
peated the words of the sermon to
the solemn faced visitors, who sat
stoiidly In the front Of the church,
holding their hats in their hands.
Once. when the priest pointed to
the Indians and spoke of them as
living emblems OF the catholicity OF
Christianity, the braves showed signs
OF embarrassment. An aged sachem
from the Black Feet nation half
started to his feet. as II he expected
to be called. Members OF the parish
stared curiously at the Indians as
they filed out after the service was
ended.
