THE LAST WILD
 PIGEON DEAD.

New York, Sept. 4.--That the last survivor of the millions of wild pig cons which years ago inhabited east ern United States, has just died, was the announc cene ent made to-day by T. Gilbert Pearson, Secretary of the Ma tional Association of Audubon Socie-. ties. The vast hocks of these birds which generation ago, were the or nithologica1 wonder of the world, have entirely disappeared, and at 2 p. m.. on September 1, the last individual died in theZooIogicaI- Gardens .atvCin- cinnati. It was a female and was matched in captivity 29 years ago.
 '"This marks the absolute extin ction of another species of North American birds,'' said MT. Pearson to-day. Many theories have been advanced as to the cause of the disappearance of the myriads of pigeons once seen in this country. but there is absolutely only one cause, they have been wiped out by the traps, nets and guns Of American hunters
 The Audubon Association, which is laboring for the protection of wild birds, has issued a large picture of the wild pigeon in coIors. This together. with a full account of the history of these birds will be mailed free, as a nemoriam, to anyone sending re- quest to the Secretary, 1914 Broad way, New Y York City.

The rivalry between the long, tight fitting coat and the short, round coatee is growing. and there are hosts of ad-. mirers of both designs The long model is shown here to splendid advantage. being single breasted and trimmed with 6 notched collar, revers and cuffs of it's own material Serge, velvet broad cloth or gabardfne may be employed in developing the, coat The collar and cuffs may be of silk, if preferred To make the coat will require 3 yards of 54-jnch or K yards Of ,44-tnch ma teriaL One-hah yard less material will be needed if the coat is of shorter. length.

FALSE WISHES

1 What is love? Iris not hereafter; Present rnfr-th hath present laughter; l Whats to come is still unsure; In delay there lies no plenty
 Then come kiss me Ssweet-and- twenty
 Youths a stuff will not endure Whenever you hear of a man who | has deliberately parted from a sweet heart or a. divorced wife (a,s the case may be), wishing her the best of luck with a rival who has stepped between them, he may say it from the depths of his heart, but would have my doubts concerning the sincerity of his assertion.
 The man who loves deeply and de- Voted1y is more angel than human who -consigns the idol Of his heart to the keeping of another. When I hear a man making a remark about crush ling his own heart to give her way and happiness, I am Constrained to be- Heve that he is speaking one word for her and two for himself: that he has her successor already picked out; oth- erwise he would not be so eager, nay. anxious, to sever the bonds which pre- vent him from making a new alliance.
 It is generally found that pity has been wasted on the man who, suppos- ed1y, broken love dream shadowing his life. Where one such man has gone on through life forswearing friendship forever after for woman kind, a dozen others have solaced themselves with a new love ere new moon waxed and waned.
 Mankind is not so willing to part with his only treasure. The golden chain of an old love cannot rudely be snapped asunder. Where two have chung together midst vicissitudes of fortune, shared each others burdens and joys, made sacrifices, it is not so easy to break loves spell.
 The man who says that he wishes the object of his affection may be happy with another cannot mean it tr'uthfully It is mere lip service, not from the heart. Real love is not transferable. One cannot play battle dore and shuttIecock with the hearts nob1est emotion. Love cannot be with two separate amicably it can be said existed between them. Theirs was a union of hands or interests, not of hearts.
 TO say that man can with amiabil- ity and the best of good wishes di- vorce a wife, having the knowledge that she is to wed another, is cloak ing a, faIsehood. He is sitting back waiting for sympathy to be showered upon him. None is due him, for he never truly loved. On the lips of woman rendering to the husband who deserted her, her best wishes is a brave effort to conceal her emotions from the world When all is said and done, it is better for her to show a smiling face than to reveal a scared and sorry heart. Falsely spoken good wishes deceive few if anyone.

 Again the fatal booming sound from the warship whose outlines were growing more and more distinct each moment; again that splash followed quickly by ripping hiss of air as a great cannon ball sped across their bows The proximity of their danger threw tbe men into a panic An thoughts injustice, of chivalry dis' appeared instantly before the omnis presence of the menace that threaten ed their lives. They rushed upon WethereIl in a body, pleading, fairly on their knees, for him to take com mand and avert the disaster that was upon them.

considered ourselves engaged, as all l did. He went off to work, failed to receive one letter I sent, accused me of being fckle. I felt my heart would break. We parted from this Inisun- derstanding, both too proud to make up.'' It's twenty months since we parted. He has no other girl. Tried to go with my girl friend. She knew of our affairs and turned him down. Has he entirely forgot our past? pa tiently, in vain, waited for him to come back. Life's not worth living for me. To-day am. reminded of the past. Have prayed, as all I can do. Was true to him. Can love. agaln while he lives? He wasn't untrue to me, only charged me with ficl1leness, maybe to break off. Is it right to wed a man who stutters? Do chik- dren inherit this impeachment of speech. Can a girl gain friends of the opposite sex. if she's not pretty nor popular. but a plain, homely, country girl, not meeting many boys? Does a girl of twenty-two have equal a chance to meet and marry a. good man with girls of seventeen and eight cen? What does my writing indicate. Do men intending to marry make tri-. fling remarks to test the girls?
 DISHEARTENED ROSE.
 It has often, been quoted that Those whom we meet first and love. we seldom wed-' have no doubt that this is your case. Time will heal your love and no doubt you will meet some more constant, devoted lover perhaps when least expected your heart will go out to such as the best one" Suffering can be overcome in young aehildren, if inherited; and often in older persons. This does not interfere in wedding.
 Some loves are stronger for girls not pretty or popular. Girls have equal chances in matrimony, 'irrespec- tive of ages. Your writing indicates, study and thoughtfulness. Trihings remarks are resented by pure mind ed girls, men soon find out.

DRESSES FOR THE sCHooLGIRL
Her Needs Now of First Importance
 -ServiceabIe, Suits.

The needs of the girl who will soon go away to school are just now of first importance. School schedules will soon be too strict to permit of even occasional shopping, and it is there fore necessary that the girl should go away. fully equipped for the first term of her school year.
 Simplicity and durability are two essentials of school garb. A costume that combines them both is tailor made suit of soft-fnish diagonal in brown, green, navy blue, or black. The coat is cut Russian model, with long rather loose inset sleeves and a low-placed belt. Above the belt the coat. is slightly full, with p1eats on either side to take in the fulness at however, is plain and slightly circular. It flares apart at the bottom in front, although at the belt the two edges meet A high rolling collar of velvet at the back corresponds to the flat vel vet cuffs that edge the sleeves. One button at the throat and three at the belt fasten the garment. The skirt, cut with seams on the hips, has a cir cular yoke. The coat is lined throughout with silk. Sizes 14 to IS years, price $22.50.
 A serviceab1e school dress is of blue serge, with black satin underskirt, cir cular tunic, and white pique collars and cuffs. The blouse is cut in panel effect, reaching to the waist line in front, but falling below it in what looks like a wide box pfeat in the back. Diamond-shaped buttons with simulated buttonholes and braid bind ing adorn the blouse, which has a. flat collar over which the piqne collar shows. The sleeves are long and fit ted, with deep plain pique cuffs. Braid is used at the wafstline in front. A row of gamers, with two buttons on either side, fits the panel in the back. The overskirt, which is attached to a | fitted yoke, is very long and circular, with a panel in the middle of the back. Buttons and simulated buttonholes are used on the yoke The underskirt is narrow and very straight.

TO-DAY'S POEM
THE ARMY HORSES.

(New York Sun.) Once he plowed the fruitful field, Helped the reaper gain its yield, Came to eve with sweet content, Browsing when the day was spent; Now they lie with mangled hide, Fallen in the carnage tide. Now they wage the battle hot Plunging under shell and shot; Bearing dealers of the death, Charging in the cannon's breath, Till in agony they hide, Fallen in the carnage tide. What to them the sounding phrase Which excuses bloody ways? Honor, place or racial steam, Slav or Teuton what to them. Torn and dead, or death denied, Fallen in the carnage tide? Theirs was not the chance to say of peace to save the day, The Creator made them dumb They who could not hush the drum Yet are one with those who ride, Fallen in the carnage tide.

Little Beauty Chats

 While you are in this critical frame of mind, look at your partner and ob serve how dry and yellow is her skin. This is the result of spending every afternoon in a hot, -artificially- lighted room with little or no ventilation, Un- less you want to see your pretty skin lose its lily and rose tints spend your afternoons far away from the card tables.

THE CARD PLAYING BEAUTY

I pity those woman who are inver- crate card players as they are in a fair way to lose their beauty, unless they mend their ways.
 You may be wondering why card playing detracts from ones good looks, but if you will only stop to think you will confess that since you started playing bridge you have become the possessor of a furrowed brow and a wrinkled mouth. These two evils sooner or later, set up Housekeeping with the card-playing woman. If you doubt my word, look around at your friends the next time you are in a. card game and notice the unconscious grim aces they make they play their hands.

 The pair who had fought one another so cordially stared at the scene until both boats melted into the sun, below the sun, then dropped beyond the heEs- zon.
 Hugo Loubeque was watching Lu- cille narrowly. Their. predtcament seemed not to worry him. The fact that the captain of the hlibusters had consigned himself and his enemy to such a fate was of little account, Life to him had been a succession of dan- gers equally appalling, and he was atiH
