PoLAND's WINGED HUssARs.

Silk and satin, fur and velvet had
given way to shimmering metal to
plumed helmet, and the pelt OF bear
and wolf; instead of the warm glow
of precious stones, flashed the cold
CLINT of naked steel; in place of caf-
tan, cloak, and loose trousers, one
saw breast plate, loin guard, and
pelisse. And here were faces curl
ously still under the curved ear

In plumage and the skins Of wild
beasts. Yet this was not enough. For
to the roll of kettle drums, the swirl
of flies behind quartian, dragoon, and
reiter came the hussar. mounted and
pennoned lance at rest These men
sat their heavy horses, their lances
made forest, and from their shoul-
ders rose the famous wings" Suffi-
ciently splendid in themselves, they
had added this last touch of splendor.
From their shoulders, as in he reliefs
of ancient Egypt. rose great wings
the rustling OF them filled the theatre.
Might and terror were incarnate in
these warriors. What foe could stand
before the awful sibilance of their
onrush, this apparition Of something
inconceivably monstrous yet inconceiy
ably superb? War had fired this peo =
pie to new improvisations that ended
on grandeur reaching to the poetic.

but dreamt OF war gods buoyed on

Over this army floated Poland's
eagle, white upon its blood-red
ground. A bishop raised the sacred

good that the press of the world ac-
cepted it without hesitation. Next the
Bulgarian General Staff loaded him
with a story OF another great battle
which is now called pure invention. A
victory well stuck to is as good as the
truth.
The Turkish press agents and those
of the Triple Alliance then got busy.
They had 5000 Bulgarian bodies

campaign. They had the Bulgarian
army demoralized-some that

pondent in Berlin announced that the
Bulgarians had lost 100000 men and
were arming boys of sixteen and sew
enteen years. They were, in fact, put

The Austrian Danube flotilla set out
for Belgrade and took the magic-car-

million reserves have been called to
the colors; perhaps it is 100000.

day armistice is declared on the Cha

have had more experience with the
tribe than the foreign desks hereto

tales are put forth to bull or bear the
terms of peace-as the stock exchang-
es seem already to have concluded.

THE LITTLE ARTIST.

The little bootblack stood on the
old French bridge and sighed deeply
as he peered over the railing into the
dark, muddy Seine. Bushes was al
ways dull during the rainy season.
Pierre looked at the darkening sky
and sighed again. Then his hand
went into his pocket, and he drew
forth a battered copper coin and q
small piece OF chalk. In an instant
the boy was down upon his knees,
rapidly copying the head of the coin
upon the bricks of the bridge. So
enrapt was he in his work that he
did not notice a strange little old man
carrying an odd cotton umbrella un-
der his arm, who had come up be-
hind him and who stood watching
the development of the portrait. The
young artist worked steadily at the
ever-growing picture, regarding 1t
quizzically. with eyes half closed, and

And have their sins forgiven,

And something like smile
Ran through the naughty little
leaves.
Said Grass: What is that noise
That startles and destroys

That's folks a-praising Cod"
Said the tough old cynic Clod;
They do it every Sunday,
They'll be all right on Monday;

AS predicted the chief visible effect
o: equal suffrage is that our elec-
tions are placed up
What Equal on a somewhat high
Suffrage Does. er and cleaner plane,
Reports from over the
state show that at the town elections
held yesterday and the day previous
there was improvement in polling
booth decorum. There was little use
Of tobacco about the voting places,
there was less profanity than usual
and when men entered voting places
where women were present they re-
moved their hats.
1t is much the same improvement
that came about when the corrupt
practices act was put in force. Pre-
vious to that time voter had to run
the gauntlet of candidates and ward
heelers. He was pestered at every
turn. He could get cigar for his
vote or he could get the cold cash II
he wanted it, There used to be vot-
ing places in Portland where hired
thugs would be on hand to start a
fight when necessary and prevent
some fellow from voting who was
known to be against the gang.
The corrupt practices act has done
away with most of the old abuses
Though the act is still disregarded in
some instances it has had a most
wholesome effect It has eliminated
vast amount OF dirty work that
could always be pulled off on election
day and which could be made to
count for much when close fights
were on.
Equal suffrage will further improve
conditions along this line. Instead of
becoming themselves degraded
through participation in politics the
women voters will elevate the politi
cal standard of the state Nor will
that be the only wholesome result OF
the change.

the wrong direction.
lie is a bear in the market Of pro-
gress. Show him a plan and he in
variably says it can't be done. He
is a human cloud continually obscur-
ing the silver lining Of the future.
He denies himself the benefit of the
doubt and doubts the benefit Of any,
thing.
He dampens enthusiasm, ridicules
inspiration, jeers at doing and meas
ures all men and manners and meth

puny personality.
Don't let him annoy you. He isn't
