WHERE VIRGINS FELL DOWN
Employer Now Realizes That There
Are Such Things as Grand
mothers of Office Boys.

Outside his own ~cleverness there is
nothing that so delights Mr.. Virgins
as a game Of baseball, and when he
gets a chance to exploit the two at
the same time, he may be said to be
the happiest man in the world. Hence
1t was that the other day, when little
r%ed-headed Willie Mulligan, his office
boy, came shifting into his presence
to ask for the afternoon off that he
might attend his grandmother's fu-
neral, Virgins deemed it a mastery
stroke to answer
why, certainly, Willie. What's
more. my boy. if you'll wait for mi I'll
go with you"
"All right, sir" shifted Willie, as ne
returned to his desk and waited pa
tiently.
And 10 and behold, poor little Willie
had told the truth, and when he and
Virgins started out together, the lat
ter not only lost one of the best
games of the season, but had to at
tend the ~obsequies of an old lady in
whom he had no interest Whatever.

Cushion Covers.

Brown suede leather is the cover
ing of a very convenient pillow for the
weary or delicate traveller. This par,
ticular small article appeals as the
most convenient of fits kind. It is
about ten by fourteen inches. and is
covered smoothly on one side with
suede leather and on the other side
with a noverlapping piece OF the
suede. which forms a fiat pocket, into
which a handkerchief or time table
may be slipped. There is a small
leather handle along the side of the
pillow. so that in the hand II looks al.
most like a brown suede bag.
A nautical pillow has a heavy bind
ing cord loosely inserted through
loops in practically the same manner
that sails or flags are attached or sus
pended aboard ship. 1t is made of
smoke blue linen and worked In three
shades of different colors. Service.
able boat cushions are also made OF
bright-colored ticking.

SHOULD USE
CUTlCURA SOAP?

There is nothing the matter with
my skin. and l thought Cuticura Soap
was only for skin troubles" True, 1t
is for skin troubles, but its great mis-
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than a generation its delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered 1t the standard for this
purpose. while its extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to 1t all the
advantages of the best of toilet soaps.
1t is also invaluable in keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy, and the scalp free from
dandruff and irritation.
While its first cost is a few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such care
and of such materials, that it wears
to a wafer, often outlasting several
cakes of other soap, and making its
use, in practice, most economical.
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth of
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending to "Cuticura,"
Dept. % L, Boston, for a liberal sam
pie cake, together with a thirty-two
page book on the skin and hair.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE ARMS
Easy to Dress Them Beeominely So
as to Overcome Any Natural
Defects.

Thin arms are very easily dressed
becomingly. though there have been
women in the world who had every
device OF the toilet at their beck and
call and yet failed to understand the
needs of their meagse arms. A cele-
brated actress and we'll known society
woman was one of these. and even
the surprising loneliness Of her face
could not make up for the ugliness Of
the arms she was forever showing off
In short sleeves.
However. estimates OF beauty have
changed somewhat. and with the pres
ent formIess lines striyen for in
clothes match-like arms are no longer
a bar 10 good looks. But they must
be dressed becomingly-in long
sleeves gathered over the arms or In
the shape of loose bishop pulls end
Ing in a long hand ruffe. The closer
sleeve should have a pointed bottom
covering the back Of the hand II this
member is also too thin or otherwise

cLoAKINGs FOR THE FALL
RatIne Cloths Are Certain to Be Much
Used by All the Fashionable -
Costumers.

A great deal of interest is expressed
in ratine cloths for fall. There seems
no question that they will be consid-
erably used by ell Of the best houses.
The new idea is, of course, the double
faced finish, and beautiful lines in two
colors reversible, or in plain colors
with plaid back are being shown.
Colors in cloakings are both dark
and dull. In double faced materials
we see such combinations as navy
blue and dark red. two shades OF
Havana brown. sage green. and beige,
dull blue and mode, navy and taupe,
Bordeaux red and Oxford gray. olive
green and khaki.
The newest ratine cloths are light
weight and thin also. The first OF
these cloths brought out last year
were much heavier, and were found to
be clumsy. and. therefore, were not a
great success. This seasons offerings
are much thinner. and are. therefore.
expected t o please.
Diagonal and boucle weayes are
both being shown in ratine novelties.

DEATH BEFORE 100
YEARS IS SUICIDE
Prof. Munyon Says Ignorance
OF Laws of Health Explains
Early End of Life.
NOTED SCIENTIST HAS
ENCOURAGING WORD
FOR RESPONDENT
MEN AND WOMEN

death before 100 years of age has
been reached is nothing more or less
than slow suicide. A man tor woman
who dies at an earlier age is simply igno-
rant of the laws of health"
Such was the original and rather
startling, statement made by Professor

cities of the world for the purpose of get

Professor Munyon is a living embodi-
ment of the cheerful creed he breaches.
V1rile, well poised, active and energetic,
he looks as though he would easily at
tain the century age limit which he de-
clares is the normal one. He said:

Twas In a gilded restaurant
Where people came to eat,
A Southerner. all grim and gaunt.
Stepped in on g feet.
He sat him down and ordered food
And suddenly and soon
The orchestra in Joyful mood
Struck up that Dixie tune.
There came a tumult OF applause;
The Southerner was glad
He felt this honor to his Cause
And could no more be sad.
"Hurrahi Hurrah!" the diners cried
And straightway dropped their RS:
1t seemed as though with valiant pride
They'd showed their battle scars.
The Southerner then asked of one
Who almost broke his dish
Applauding: "Whah ali yo' from, son?"
He said: South Haven, Mich"
Another came from old South Bend.
And one who cheered with glee
From Southport, Maine. had come; hi
friend
Was raised out In s. d.
A man from South Chicago yelled
The widest of wild cheers
Until the folk about him held
Their hands upon their ears;
Another man whose voice was loud,
Whose hands gave blow on blow
In The applause that led the crowd
Was from South Charleston, o.
The Southerner looked all around
And pursed his grim old mouth,
And aid I'm glad that I have found
So many from the South"
He seeks another place to eat
But everywhere he goes
When "Dixie's" played they stamp theil
feet
And cheer {, through the nose.

The Little Brown Church.

College, and. pitching his tent in Fred
ericksburg. Iowa. gave forty of the
best years of his life to his profession
DR.. Pitts was quite a noted man
and had a large and increasing prac
tice. His GUN of calls included
Bradford. He was we'll acquainted
with her people and took a lively in.
terest in everything that pertained
to their welfare. He heartily seconded
their efforts in building the little
church. DR.. Pitts was also a man OF
musical and literary turn of mind
lust prior to the dedication of the
church he was inspired to write a
song to be used on dedication day. He
said, speaking of his songs. Il call
them inspirations. as they came to
me with force. and I had to write them
out"
The name of he song may not have
been LEST inspired. The little church
is surrounded by large. stately trees
whose overhanging branches have
sheltered both it and its worshippers
from the hot a of the summers sun
and the cold blasts of the winters
wind. And as he thought of this little
sanctuary surrounded by these great
giants of the forest whom God planted
there. as if to protect Ills CHOSEN ones
from harm, ne penned this title. The
Little Brown Church in the Vale" to
his son and wrote:
There's a church in the valley by the
wildwood.
No llvelier place in the dale:
No spot Is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale.
IJDtr 1xtYan an n BRIGHT CnhhnfI -
To list to the clear ringing bell;
Its tones so sweetiy are calling.
oh. come to the church in the vale.
There. close by the church in the valley,
Lies one that ! loved so we'll;
She sleeps. sweetly sleeps. meath the will
low:
Disturb not her rest In the vale.
There. close by the side of that loved
one,
Meath the tree where the wild flowers
bloom,
When the farewell hymn shall be chanted
I shall rest by her side in the tomb.
CHORUS.
Oh. come. come, come, come.
Come to the church in the wildwood
oh, come to the church in the vale:
No spot is so dear to my childhood
AS the little brown church in the vale.
This little song was first sung by.
DR.. Pitts on dedication day and was
afterward published by G. NJ. Higgins
of Chicago in 1865. From then until
now this little song has been singing
It's way into the hearts of the people,
and 1t is not too much to say that II
grows sweeter and dearer as the years
roll By. 1t has been sung around the
world. 1t has been translated into
other languages. "A German minister
across the sea wrote the author OF
his song that he never saw the Eng.
fish version. but had often sung 1t
from the German print. And years
ago a lads travelling in England wrote
that she heard 1t sung in London by
1000 school children.
This little bit of history will correct
q wrong impression that THE Little
Brown Church in the Vale" is only a
child of the Imagination. and to as
sure all that 1t is "a sure enough
church." and a be seen by n one
who Will make a pilgrimage to Brad

Some men the other night, in con.

terms at least of gentle satire-said:
We have been discussing conscience,
and one of them said. I have given a
definition of conscience; 1t is the yer.

laughed. And l said, That is a good
definition in your case; you never

If you are going to dye any mate
rial at home, dissolve a pinch of hi.
carbonate of soda I'm the water IN
which you mix the dye.
This will prevent the color from

the material evenly.
If you cannot buy the shade you
wish, it a easily be mixed. For in

violet, a little yellow with green to
make mess color. black with ecru for

he sure to rinse the material very
well with cold water before hanging to
dry after dyeing. Press while damp.
