(By Mrs. Ella Dendy Doyle.)
The syrup-making season is here,
And my thoughts turn back full many
year
To the days of my childhood, care
less and free,
When the children at home would
shout in our glee,
When Ger the ridge road and down
through the lane
We saw the men coming to grind up
the cane
Down under the hill, the steep, steep
hill,
In the fiat by the branch that turned
the grst mill
Turned the great wooden wheel of
the old Mauldin Mill
And flows through the low, sandy
What hurry and furry and stir we
would make,
AS we helped mother cook, for there
were custards to bake,
And chickens to fry, pork, potatoes
and stew,
Tarts and puddings to cook, and hot
coffee, too
For twas well understood there was
nothing too good
TO cook for the men making syrup,
who stood
Down by the hill, the autumn-hued
hill,
BY the rush-bordered branch that
turned the grist-mill-
Turned the great wooden wheel of
the old Mauldin Mill
And flows through the low, sandy
fiat.
All! many's the jest father told to
the crowd
Who assembled at night to the notes,
long and loud,
From the deep-throated bugle; and
many's the shout
That pierced the night air, when,
strolling about,
Some luckless young man (tho' in
truth twas all planned)
His foot down deep into hot skim
mings ran,
Sought shade of the hill-the echo
ing hill
Then ran to the branch that turned
the grist-mill-
Turned the great wooden wheel of
the old Mauldin Mill
And flows through the low. sandy
fiat.
How tenaceously memory clings to
the past,
AS the shadows of age are lengthen-
ing fast!
Fair visions of loved ones, long since
Loom up like wild fancy on canvas
is thrown.
Naught now marks the spot of the
home Of my. birth
Save a mass of charred embers, rocks,
ashes and earth,
And the weird, doleful tones, heard
at night DER the bill,
Are the cries Of the screech owl and
brown whirpoorwill;
And the murmuring branch that once
turned the old mill
WeepS and means as it winds through
the dark, lonesome fiat

DarlingtOn's Fine Oaks.
darlington News.)


Every visitor to Darlington ad-
mires its magnificent trees, and this
admiration Is we'll deserved, but in
order to maintain this sympathy it
is necessary to put in some trees
every year in order to replace those
that die, to say nothing of the new
streets that from time to time are
laid out. In our climate trees are a
necessity both for comfort and
health. Darlington is easily the
prettiest and most attractive town in
this whole section Of the State. In
fact, when it comes to beauty, it is
not surpassed by any place in the
State, and we must bear in mind that
its trees are one Of it's greatest
assets. Then, too, it takes, even un-
der the most favorable circumstances,
some years for a tree to attain much
size, and even if the trees are put
out by the present generation never,
in the lifetime Of the older folks,
make great show, the people that
come after us will enjoy their shade
and beauty and be grateful for the
torethought that prompted their
planting.

Tariff Tears Aigrcttes from Hats.

The new tariff law which went into
effect October 4th absolutely for
bids the importation Of aigrettes,
such as are used to trim ladies' hats.
Complaint has been made that on the
very first day the customs inspectors
at New York roughly tore these or
naments from the hats of incoming
passengers. The treasury depart
mcnt is investigating to find out if
any unnecessary roughness was used
Senator Simmons. who had charge
of the tariff bill in the Senate, was
indignant over this reported literal
enforcement Of his law. He says the
intention was to prohibit the impor-
tation Of aigrettes as merchandise,
but there was no thought Of inter-
fering with the trimming Of the hats
of women passengers.
or course the customs inspectors
have to go by the words of the law.

FUR STORE ROBBED,
.N0cLUE TO THIEF
Goods Valued at 81, 200 Re-
moved After Front Door
Glass Is Broken.


The store of J. NJ. Giddinss- and Com
pany, 1910 II street northwest, was en-
tered between Saturday night and this
morning and furs valued at nearly 81, 2ol
stolen. There is no clue to the thief.
When the store was opened this morn-
ing II was found that the glass in the
front door had been broken so that il
was possible to reach inside and operate
the lock. An inventory of the stock
showed that. four fur sets, ranging in
price from sl50 to 500, and a handsome
brocaded evening wrap worth $500. were
missing
AS soon:.as the matter was reported
to the police. Inspector -Boardman sent
detectives to the store to- make an
investigation, but they failed to nnd
anything about the premises that would
give any clue to the identity of the
thief. The detectives, however. believe
the robbry was the work of thives who
knew, fur values, as the pieces taken
Were exceptionally handsome ones.
This is the first fur robbery in Wash-
ington this winter. Last winter a plate
glass window of the Saks Fur Company
was smashed and furs valued at over
sl,0o0 taken.
