willing to make good her assertion
Miss Ream took a piece of modelling
clay home with her and in few
days returned to the sculptor's studio
with the head of an Indian wrought
from her piece. of clay. This attempt
showed such marvellous power for q
beginner that Mills at once offered
to help Miss Ream with her educa-
ton as sculptor, and thereafter she
devoted her entire time to the study
of her art. Two years later her pow
ers were so widely recognized that
she was given q commission by Con-
gress to make life size statue OF
Lincoln, for which she was offered
SIS, 900 when the statue stood in plaster,
and a like amount when 1t stood in
marble. This statue was unveiled In
1871 in the rotunda of the Capitol,
where 1t stands to this day. 1t was
much criticized at the time in spite of
it's undoubted merit. Many assail-
ants claimed that Miss Ream had not
been the author of the work, but she
was soon cleared OF this charge
Later Miss Rsam made the portrait
busts of many other distinguished
men of the time, and studied for sew
eral years abroad

One Of the few women who have
gained distinction in the field of
sculpture, Winnie Ream, was born
sixty-five years ago today In log
cabin on the banks OF the Mississippi
In what was then the territory of Wis
consin. Although belonging to fam
lily of considerable distinction, she
was early acquainted with the priva-
tions and dangers of frontier life and
had little opportunity for education
as girl At the time Of the out
break of the civil war Miss Ream's
family were forced to leave Wfsoon-
sin, where her father held the post OF
treasurer of the territory, and they
sought refuge In Washington, D. c.,
where her father secured a position
In the Treasury Department.
Miss Ream, unwilling to be idle. ac-
cepted a position as clerk in the POST
office Department in Washington, and
the turn of events that directed her
ambition toward sculpture was largely
that of an accident. In one of her
leisure afternoons she visited the
studio of the elder Mills, the distin-
guished sculptor, and, as she watched
him modelling in clay, she remarked,
"I can do that, too"
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1915-09-25

"Go!" she cried. GO back to your
people. But come again in q year.
Perhaps the Great Spirit may bless
us then" Black Bear heard her
words.
YES" he cried with an angry
laugh, come again in q year, and
if by then these trees bear sugar you
may have my daughter as a bride" "
Now 1t happened that some OF the
wood nymphs heard what had been
said, and as they were all fond Of
the gentle Indian girl, and felt sorry
for her, they at once set to work
to carry out the very idea Black
Bear had suggested They ground
the cane softly into the sod, and in
the spring its sweetness flowed up
into the maple trees in a sweet sap.
But no one knew it.
A year had passed, mad Snow Bird
began to wonder if Panther would re-
turn. One afternoon she started in
haste to get water from the spring,
but on her way noticed sap flowing
from a maple tree near the path, so
she filed her bucket and put it on the
fire.
Presently she heard noise, and
there in the door stood Panther hold
ing out his arms to her. They stood
and talked, while the pot on the fire
boiled and boiled.
Then suddenly old Black Bear came
down the path. "Oh. you here?' he
cried angrily Leave! You remem-
ber what I said last year" The pot
boiled over, and Snow Bird ran to lift
1t from the fire. In doing so she
spilled some of it's contents on her
hand, and quickly put her hand into
her mouth--the stuff tasted sweet
and like sugar.
"Stop, father!" she cried quickly.
"What you wished has come to pass,
for the naples are giving us sugar.
Then Bear and Panther tasted OF
the delicious syrup, and all the other
Indians learned to draw the sweet
Juice from the trees. So Bear kept
his word, and the girl was welded TO
Panther in the shade of the very
maple tree from which she had drawn
the first bucket of its sweet sap.

The Turkish women are to be
counted among the most industrious
women of the earth. They certainly
do q vast amount of work. They
make carpets, screens for doors, work
bags, horse clothing and blankets.
A Turkish girl makes all the kbitka
or tent domestic carpets and other
household requisites before she Is
married. re she gets married with
out completing this task, 1t is ex-
pected that she will, by her own
labor, refund the money which her
parents have given as her dowry.
This dowry usually consists of n
hundred sheep and a certain amount
of money. which a bridegroom pays
down in a lump sum to the parents
of the bride, says the Buffalo Sun
day Times. He also treats his friends
to q succession of horse races and
other sports.
An important part is to decorate q
camel with the handsomest trappings,
which are sent to the brides tent.

Care of Kid Gloves

It is good plan to keep kid gloves
in oiled paper in tin box. White
and light-colored gloves can be
cleansed on the hands with naphtha
until they are perfectly dry. Put on
one glove and rub 1t with clean
piece of flannel dipped in naphtha.
Wet it all over and then rub nearly
dry with a clean piece of flannel.
Do the other glove in the same
manner and allow them to remain on
the hands till thoroughly dry. Dust
on a little talcum powder and hang
in window until the odor leaves.
Be very careful not to clean gloves
with naphtha in a room where there
is light or fire.
Light-colored suedes may be washed
and dried on the hands, using soap
boiled in milk as the suds and rub
bing it over them, and then using a
clean piece of flannel to dry.

KELLY'S DREAM.
About a week ago I was invited by an
old time friend of mine
To come up to his residence and test has
We ate a lobster salad and q lot of other

And drank each others health until the
hour of three had struck.
We'll, we drank until we didn't know

brains not very clear.
Well, l got home, | don't know now

Well, / died and went to Heaven, I saw
that repentance was too late,
When suddenly ! was ushered before

'WelI. what will you have?" said Peter.
Don't you know you can't come in
For you must surely suffer for the
greedy glutton's sim"
Then I turned aside and said no more
and hung my head in shame,
And Peters clerk stood close by and
wrote lost" against my name.
Next came an Italian, one whom l knew
well.
So I stopped and listened patiently to
the story he might tell.
"Gooda Father Petro, ] comma to you at

nights are past.

And nevera on the sidewalk / throw the

Your peanut shells were empty and your

The italian turned away and tear was
in his eye.
He came and stood behind me and
heaved heavy sigh.

satchel in his hand,
And before the gate and old st. Peter
the "sheeney" took his stand.
"Ah, Father Peter, I Will tell you vot
Hi haf got jewelry, At for angels, Hi will

Hi could sell them on the installment

So HI will give them to you at half price,

So the Hebrew turned aside, and as he
was friend of mine,
Just like me and the dago he sashaad
into line.
Next came an old maid, one bound to

And she began addressing Peter in this
peculiar way:
"oh, good gracious me, here I am, after
gossiping many a year,
So, open the gate and let me in. [ will

And you have no sons or daughters, so
YOU would be stranger there"
The poor old maid wilted. She must
evermore repine,
And, lust like me and all the rest, she
waddled into line.
Next came German, now paralyzed
with fear,
Who on earth ofttimes paralyEed his Gus

WHY NAPLES GIVE SYRUP.

Hundreds of years ago there lived
in what are now the New England
States a large tribe of Indians,
whose chief was a powerful man
named Black Bear. His only daugh-
ter was a beautiful maiden called
Snow Bird.
She was dressed in fine skins, rich
ly painted, and the brightest of
feathers We're for her gowns, but
little Snow Bird longed for some
companion.
One day when bringing water from
the spring she met handsome
young Indian, who had come from
the far South. His skin was q bright
red, his head crowned by eagle
plumes, and on his back was
bundle of canes, such as are grown
In the warm lands to make sugar.
"I know that you are the maid
Snow Bird, of whom ] have heard so
much" he said, "and I have come to
ask your father for your hand. am
from the sunny lowlands, where the
sun always shines and snow never
falls. but l have travelled long to
find your lodge, Snow Bird" So the
girl took him by the hand and led
him to where her father sat In the
shade of q maple smoking his pipe,
with his robes wrapped about him.
The young Indian stepped forward
proudly and lay at the old mans feet
the bundle of sugar cane.
"I have heard of your daughters
beauty, and have come from the
land of flowers to ask for her hand"
he said, land from our fields of eter-
nal sunshine, I, who am called the
Panther at home, have brought you
gift. It is sugarcane. Perhaps your
people may be able to grow it and
thus secure a great blessing"
The old chief rose in anger. DO
you dare ask for the hand of my
daughter?" he cried, with flashing
eyes. Never! How dare you bring
me such sticks? See, | throw them
to the earth to be trod under the
feet Of children" and he scattered the
canes over the ground beneath the
trees Panther leaped forward, and
would have struck Black Bear, but
Snow Bird stood between the two

white net dress which has become
soiled from wear? I fear washing 1t

Gasoline is the only successful
cleansing fluid that I can recommend.
To be successful, though, you must
use q sufficient quantity and rinse
in clean gasoline several times. Be
very careful that you do not clean
the dress near a fire.
Cold cream is the best cleansing
