Up on the hill where the sweet breeze Is
blowing,
I see the long rows Of the ripening
corn;
There by the fence where the tall grass
is growing.
Is the jug of sweet cider, beneath the
white thorn,
And the swish Of the cutters that cleave
through the stalks.
And the song of the wind as 1t blows
through the shocks,
Come as plainly again as they did on the
day
That threw down the cutter and strut
ted away.
The ground where the corn has been
taken away
All. there is a flock Of wild geese flying
over,
Round for some far-distant southern
bay,
And hear the stern tones of my father
again,
Bidding me go, as he coldly did then,
And again in my throat I can feel the
lump rise,
And again the hot tears tumble out Of
my eyes!
o, for the hill where the sweet breeze is
blowing,
AS in the fair autumn it ever blows
there!
o, for taste of the sweet cider flowing
Out Of the jug tilted high in the air!
o, for rest from the roar and the rush.
From the pushing, the crowding. the car
mage, the crushi
o. for the swish of the blades through
the stalks.
And the song of the wind as 1t blows
through the shocks!
But the hills far away, and the years
have been speeding
Some other Is cutting the corn that
waves there,
And the wind sings away through the
shocks, all unheeding
The pain that grew out Of foolish af-
fair!-
o, for the sight Of the corn on the hill.
o, for the sound of voice that is still.
And o. for the years that have sped
since the day
That threw down the cutter and strut
ted away.

JEWEL CASE AND PINCUSHI0N
Double Convenience for the Woman
Who Is Required to Do Consider
able Travelling.

One of the most convenient little
accessories to the toilet for the wo-
man who travels about great deal
is a small jewel case and pincushion
combined.
1t is made of a piece of fancy rib
bon or plain satin twelve inches long
and six inches wide. The material is
sewed together lengthwise, then
divided into three parts, four inches
in each, either by stitching it on the
machine or with very close cross
stitch or featherstitching
Do this stitching four inches from
one side first, then fill the center with
wool to form the cushion In which to
stick the pins, then stitch 1t across
four inches from the other end.
There you have solid center with
hollow end, and these ends are turned
in to form a hem one inch wide. In
these small casing is run, with mar
row ribbon placed through that so as
to pull it up like a little bag on each
end
This makes a fiat cushion in the
center, having baglike ends In which
the jewelry is kept, brooches, brace
lets, rings, chains and the watch, when
1t is not in use. The cushion can be
decorated with some pretty design
done in cross-stitch or an embroidered
initial or a small spray of flowers.
Such a case can be made of any
material you may choose. Brocaded
satin is always pretty; plain satin COW
cred with lace or coarse linen that can
be laundered will be found salts
factory substitute for other more ex-
pensive fabrics.
One side of the cushion may be
used for jewels and the other for
sewing materials-cotton, scissors,
needles, etc.-or for soft ball of
darning cotton, that is always handy
to have when travelling.
This combination cushion and case
will make a splendid gift for the
young girl who is attending boarding
school or for one away from home.

Dark Furs Becoming.

It seems odd that so few should
realize that dark furs are much more
becoming than light, that is, to the
average woman. Sable. mink, black
fox, make her complexion look at it's
very best, whereas ermine. white fox,
miniver and squirrel have exactly the
contrary effect.
The newest way of wearing the
stole is to put the middle of it on in
front, pass the ends over the shoul-
ders, crossing them at the back and
bringing them forward under the
arms. Even fur capes with their
rounded or pointed back are worn
in this fashion. certainly very warm
and comfortable, though slightly un-
orthodox.

BEST SCENTS FOR THE BATH
Much Choice ls Possible, and a Wo-
man May Use Any Particular Per-
fume Which She May Prefer.

The commonest form of the bath
as beautifier is the bran bath. This
particular bath has the advantage of
being inexpensive and efficient at the
same time. The bran should be sewn
into a neat little square sack of
cheesecloth covering, and dropped into
the bath when the water is run in.
The water must not be too hot, or the
bran will be cooked and thus rendered
useless, but If warm water is poured
on it a creamy mass is formed, which
will render the skin delightfully."- soft.
For those who wish to be little more
elaborate there are sold at chemists
and stores little sacks of bran mixed
with various perfumed herbs, accord
ing to taste, such as violets, orris root
and sunfiower seed.
The milk bath is not unusual, and
is Is claimed that it has no rival In
beautifying the skin. One well known
beauty in Paris Is understood to use
milk for her bath always, and the skin
Of her throat and shoulders is as
creamy a white as the liquid she is

course, one would not actually get
light into a milk bath as one does
with water. The milk is applied on
wads of antiseptic cotton. Then, to
prevent any sickness, it is rubbed
gently with eau de cologne.
French women are also very partial
to the use of alcohol in the bath.
1t is perfumed in some way with such
scents as lavender or violet and those
who indulge in these baths or the
bran ones use soap only once or twice
a week.
Sea bathing is probably the most
bracing and the best form for the
robust, but in a climate such as ours
it cannot be recommended except in
the hot months, unless the bather Is
very strong. Those who are unfor.
tunate enough to possess very irrita-
BILE skins will do well to eschew sea
baths altogether.
For ordinary bathing purposes most
people use ammonia or borax, WHICH
not only softens the water, but is fnva!-
liable for cleaning the skin. 1t is nee
essary, however, to exercise caution
in the use of these two articles, for an
overdose in the bath, instead Of max
ing the skin soft and supple, will
harden it and make it much too dry.

Ghost Gave the Tip.

An extraordinary story of a gam
bling Tip" from the regions of spirits
is that of Signor Crotta, the station.
master at Cicignano, near Naples.
Signor Crotta speculated one franc
at weekly lottery, and now finds
himself in consequence the lucky win
ner of 100000. On learning the good
tidings Crotta's first task was to tele-
graph to the directorate of the State
Railways his resignation. He is a
married man. and has daughter who
is a local schoolmistress. The ex-
stationmaster is also setting apart a
sum for masses on behalf of his dead
aunt, whose ghost. he avows, appear
ed to him in the early hours of the
fateful morning bidding him gamble
on four numbers which she revealed
to him, all of which eventually proved
lucky ones

CHAPTER III.

A jest is a jest, but the following
letter, received by His Honor, the
Mayor" next morning, suggested a
straw too much for the Asiatic rumi-

,''Mr Walter Bedight,
Mayor of Ossian:
Dear Sir: The levity of your de
meanor at yesterdays trial and the
ostensibly nonchalant attitude you
chose to take of the sentence inf1ict-
ed, leads me to believe that you are
considering this very serious matter
altogether too lightly. Under ordinary
circumstances a handsome trifier
might ride into a woman's camp like
Lochinyar, boldly grasp pretty girl
in his arms and kiss her, without pay
ing a more severe penalty than the
.scorn of the camp and few surface
scratches And even you, evidently a
gentleman as well as a politician
might have escaped with fitting re.
buke had you been luckier. Unen.
numbered by baggage and feeling un-
bound by our court to remain, you
could have drifted away into the eve

forts to restrain you.

for representative at the coming cleo

coupling your vital forces in this tran

School Histories Ignore
WOman'S Part In World
Equal Suffrage League Carefully Goes Over
Textbooks and Finds Foot Notes and
References to SquaWS.

Are the accomplishments Of women
mentioned in the history textbooks used
by the District public schools, or are the
children taught only half OF history. and
that half mans half?''
4 committee was appointed by the Col
lege Woman's Equal Suffrage League OF
the District, at its October meeting, to
unravel this question. This committee
made a report at a meeting held last
night in the rooms OF the Chamber OF
Commerce.
The committee found that women re-
ceive incidental mention" in the school
histories. For example, in the textbook
used by pupils Of the fifth grade. there
appears the notice: "On the fourth Mon
day the women went on shore to wash. "
With this statement of fact, that there
we're women in former times, and that
these women went on shore to wash, the
committee had to content itself as fa-
as the nth grade textbooks went.
In a textbook on history used by the
sixth grade, it was found that "a mother
and daughter were rescued from the In
dams" Who they were. the history does
not say. With the bare notice OF their
