Ought To Had A Fiddle.

Up in Laurel county on the banks
of the Rockcastle river near where
that stream empties into the Cumber-
land, dwells Billy Pointer and his good
wife Charity. Charity is known to
hundreds of fishermen who are wont to
visit this famous fishing place, strong
robust woman, capable of doing as
much manual labor as her better half,
and one of the very best cooks in that
country, and withal a kind hearted,
christian motherly soul. Charity and
''her man" own two story log ''club
house" which is devoted to the ac-
commodation of fishermen who visit
the locality, and the cheer offered at
this humble mountain abode is some
thing never to be forgotten.
John Farra and Bob Elkin are just
back from their annual excursion to
Charity's, and John thinking to cheer
Charity with some good music, took
with him his cornet. One evening af
ter they had been RECALLED with sup
per such as only Charity can prepare
for a tired fisherman, Farra took out
his cornet and for an hour in his own
inimitable manner made the welkin
ring to the echo with his cornet; my
Old Kentucky Home, ""Down Upon The
Suanee River, "Home Sweet Home,
and many other old familiar tunes were
played in turn, Charity, Billy and their
brood listening in rapt attention.
When he had finished Farra said ''well
Charity how did you like it?" To his
utter establishment, she replied, "Well
Mr.. Farra reckon it was mighty good,
but never heerd none o. them tunes,
wish you would play something we
know'd. "Farra was at his wits ends
and no amount of suggesting both upon
his part or that of Mr.. Elkin could
bring to mind a song that was familiar
to these people. Knowing these. Pea+
pie as we do, we will venture to say
that had Farra taken along fiddle and
strunk up Turkey in the staw'', he
would have seen their faces brighten
with pleasure, and he would soon have
had the whole family capering to the
strains.

Must Seek Pastures New.

The day of the politician and stump
orator is rapidly drawing to a close,
soon they must seek new vocation or
other fields for their labors. They have
indeed had hard time interesting the
farmers in their theme; the farmer has
been too busy caring for his bumper
crop and making preparation to take
care of his family and his stock during
the coming winter to give them heed and
will doubtless be glad when they cease to
be troubled with the opportunities of the
politicians. seeking their suffrage.

knowledge of the existence of such a

they will grow up to be useful men and

OF the many ways in which the mid
dle-aged woman may vary the effect
Of her afternoon gowns none is sim
pier than the use Of collar and cuffs
of white voile edged with scalloping
and embroidery in floral design. An
other change may be the frock set Of
white chiffon with border Of black
malines, and still another is the one of
black net hemstitched with silver
thread. Some of these collars are SO
long in front that they terminate only
at the waist line. where they cross in
surplice effect and are tucked away
under the girdle. An excellent model
of this sort is of light blue lawn en-
broidered with black dots, and a sec
ond is of white agaric trimmed with
tiny folds of broadcloth, alternating
with eponge.
