Deputy Sheriff Harvey S. Lincoln of
Rupert arrived in Bennington with
man who would have made a model for
the makeup of rip Van Wrinkle"
His ragged beard halfway to his waist,
his hair was correspondingly long and his
clothing was in tatters. He was lodged
in jail under go days sentence for va
grancy. The mans name is Thomas
Ourman. He is native of Prussia,
tged AZ years, and he has been in Amer
lea about 90 years. Since last July he
has been living on Rupert mountain, and
during the five months that had elapsed
had not passed a single night under a
roof. He had molested none of the peo-
pie living in the vicinity and had com.
mitted no depredations, but the inhab.
ants, especially the women living in
the lonely farm houses, had become
thoroughly alarmed because of his pres
ence and during the past few weeks
number of attempts had been made to
take him into custody. He was too
fleet of foot, however, and escaped into
the woods. On a recent morning. how
ever, Deputy Lincoln, finding him asleep
under the shelter of an uprooted tree,
took him before justice who sentenced
him for vagrancy and then started with
him for the county Jail.

SUGGESTIONS FROM GERTRUDE

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Perhaps the home nurse would like to know how to give One-half of a drop of medicine, as sometimes prescribed by the physician. Take one drop of medicine and two teaspoons of water, hix, and give one teaspoon of the mix ture.
 Give a young infant drink from saucer instead of a cup or spoon. The uncertain little lips will close upon it more easily, and there will be no slop- ping.
 From experience in nursing I have learned that the night sweats which accompany debility, or even advanced tuberculosis may frequently be check ed by glass of milk containing a spoon of cognac, taken on retiring. Bathing the entire body at bedtime with tepid water and alcohol, is also of advantage.
 Knitting is an occupation especially suited to persons who, for a time, are equal to little exertion, mental or physical, and who find it hard work to sit in absolute idleness when ordered to live out of doors and keep cheer full When one is recovering from an attack of typhoid fever, for instance. or in cases of paralysis. In plain knit ting no counting of stitches is neces- s- sary and the monotony will prove rest rul while the occupation is diverting.
 Real recreation seldom comes to a naturally active man or woman through absolute likeness.

sAMANTHA's VIEWS

No, Balsam Fir and Aline, haven't words of any of the songs mentioned. One Sweetly Solemn Thought is a grand hymn. But as I said previously I think such poems rather grewsome. I have kun to think that Twin and doin 1t right is a much more solemn thought than dying.
 Alice Cary sartinly did write sum good poems. I think her Nobility is my favorite, in which she advises nor tals to do each day that goes by sum little thing and not dream of great things to do by and by" And then sums up the hole matter of Twin as just doing and doing as we would be dun by-that's all"
 I allers do feel sorry for a young mother who cannot sew, as there are so meny ways of usin' small pieces in little garments
 A good way to put rufie on a skirt is tu make a quarter inch tuck where the top of your ruff1e will l1um, put the gathered top of the ruffie under the tuck and stitch down over it.

HINTS AND HELPS FROM MORN
 ING GLORY.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Friends: It seems a pity as you walk through different parts of the city to see so many sitting by closed windows or on steps. How much better 1t would be for them to take a walk in the open air and get the ozone into their bodies and Gods sunlight upon them.
 This is delightful weather for a long walk; a mile day as a start, and then go a little further the next. Do this as often as you can.
 Deep breathing Is good habit to get into, especially in the open air Practice deep breathing and see how much better you will be.
 Be cheerful, and if you have chil- dren try to make their little lives as bright and happy as you can.
 Teach them to help you and you will be surprised by all their little hands can do for you. As they grow older these things you have taught them come easy and you will be well re- paid.

MAS REMEDY FOR DEAFNESS,

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: A person who has never been deaf can't realize what an awful af1iction 1t is. A few years ago had cold which lasted nearly a whole winter and left me deaf in both ears. l was cured with the following remedy:
 Remedy for Deafness-Hen's oil. one gill, and a single handful of the sweet clover raised in gardens; stew it Tn the oil Ono water), until the juice Is all out Strain through a cloth and it will be ready for use. I couldn't get the so-called sweet clover at the druggists, but got red clover.
 When deafness is recent it will be cured by putting three or four drops daily into the ear; but if of long stand ing much relief will be obtained if continued a sufficient length of time.
 Balsam Fir: Postal received and one returned.

GARDEN FURNITURE.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Now that the question of the hour seems to be the beautifying our our lawns and back yards perhaps a few words on garden furniture would not be out of place.
 Garden furniture is something that we cannot always buy at the stores, and where we can they are quite s1- pensive, but with a few tools and . little skill furniture can be made that will mark a garden with a very desirable individual character.
 I had the pleasure last summer of visiting with a friend who had large old-fashioned back yard. In one cor ner where tall hoIyhocks grew waa placed 8 bench about three feet lon6 and fifteen inches high: nearby was . large, heavy. comfortable chair-both were painted white, and the contraEh of the white furniture against the green foliage made charming resting place.
 Perhaps some of us have apple on shade trees around which with little expense rustic seats could be built.
 Flower boxes are simple to make for those who are fortunate enough to have palms or large plants to put in them; the only thing to look out for Is to see that the bottoms are screwed on with two-inch screws and not more than three inches apart. 10 prevent WarpinE.
