WOMEN AS TEHPTERs.

Each on its own strict line we move,
And some wait years ere they find love,
So far apart their lives are thrown
From the twin soul that halves their
own;
And sometimes, by still harder fate,
The lovers meet, but meet too late.
l wonder if it ever occurs to tie
handsomely dressed woman, robed in
her swishing silks and costly furs,
with jewels worth kings ransom
sparkling in her ears and on her en-
gloved hands which her luxurious
muff half conceals, that she is the
magnet OF acute temptation to hun
CRY, homeless women, starving on the
streets for crust of bread or a place
to lay their head. She swings her
mesh purse, heavy with shining gold,
which shows through it as she steps
from a shop to her carriage. She
draws her skirts away from the poor
little child begging for penny. I'm
fortunate women look after her with
darkening brows. Her purse or muff
falls from her hands. They are quick
ly returned to her, but not so much as
a smile accompanies her recognition
of the return. She does not stop to
count over, the money to see that none
is missing. The knowledge that she
is honest is the only reward that the
starving woman gets for her pains.
There's another class which the
richly-dressed woman attracts who do
not let her off quite so easily-the pro-
fcssional bag-openers, the clever fe-
male purloiners of other peoples

swinging bag and mark the foolish,
vain woman who is out for show as
their victim.
They follow milady from shop to

lays her fat purse down on the coun-
ter that is the crucial moment. In
a trice the professional purse snatch

Women have no right to robe them
selves conspicuously in costly attire
on shopping tours, to engender bitter
ness in the hearts of the unlocking
poor, and encourage daring crime at
the hands of the INSCRIPTIONS. The
wealthiest of women, if they have good
sense, dress the plainest.
Elegant attire has its place at
friends reception, an evening affair,
or at ones home. But it was never
more out of place than on the public
streets, touching elbows with the poor
and suffering, as well as the wicked
and avaricious, who are evilly inclined.
Such women are a temptation and a
menace to those who have nothing.

blame if she is forced to face a thief
who had adroitly relieved her of her
valuables. Women of wealth who come
from small places to shop in the big.
cities should heed the warning that
they should dress plainly and wear
no valuables. Better give a starving
child a little aid than spend dollars
for costly flowers for her corsage,
which will wither in an hour. Avoid
tempting others by overdisplay.

Raising late Strawberries.

Representative d. II. Drunkker of
New Jersey gave few friends a sur
prise one evening last September.
He had been discussing agriculture
with some members, and remarked
that he had enjoyed strawberries
raised in the open in his native state.
The other congressman hooted at
the idea of Jersey selling strawberries
from the field in the latter part Of
September, but Drukker stuck to his
point and invited the doubling Thorn
ases to dine with him a few nights
later.
In the meantime he had wired for
several quarts of berries to a trucker
near his home who made speciality
of late berries. The strawberries came
and were served for dinner, much to
the surprise of the gentlemen. who
found it difficult to credit their own
senses.
Raspberries and Strawberries in
October are now getting to be quite
fad among those up-to-date farm
ers who know how to do the stunt,
which consists in pulling off from the
plant the early blooms.

BENEFIT IN WAGGING EARS
Exercise Is Declared by Physicians to
Have an Excellent Effect of
the Hearing.

You will rarely find that a man who
can wag his ears suffers from deaf
ness. The reason for this is very sim
pie. Wagging ones ears exercises
them just as much as walking exer-
cises the muscles of the legs. A great
deal of deafness is caused by the mus
cles of the ears becoming stiff and
refusing to respond quickly to the
sound waves
Quite large proportion of children
can move their ears, just as they can
move the skin on their forehead up
and down, but as they grow up they
lose their power through want OF prac-
tice 1t is mistake to let a child lose
this power, for it may mean the diff
ference between good and bad hearing
in after years.
DR., NJ Fernet, the famous Paris doc
tor, has even gone so far as - gest
that people should be trained to wag
their ears just as they are trained to
exercise any other muscles OF me

making three divisions; rams wethers

desirable they should be made, and the

1t is good plan 20 give all sheep

work, but he should be there to see

Don't Lake Poison.

The frequent reports of death by
accidentally taking poison" clearly in
dictate a need for preventing such dis
astrous occurrences. The custom of
keeping poisons by themselves in a
place out of reach should be the rule
in every home. The poisonous prepa-
rations should also in addition to be-
ing high up, be locked up in closet.
In the event of sudden illness in the
night, when nobody takes time to
strike a light, the cropping hand too
often finds the poison bottle. This
might happen even if there was a
bright light, for when one is suffer
ing pain or feels faint he is many
times unable to see clearly or read
understandingly. If the poisons are
kept where it is a trouble to get at
them there is no danger whatever of
anyone being injured by taking them
in the daytime or during the night.

Tobacco in America.

Americans have always been pipe
and cigar smokers. In the early days
of the colonies cigars were imported,
but it is a safe assumption that the
great bulk of cigars smoked by our
colonial ancestors were homemade or
home-rolled. Gentlemen made their
cigars or had them made by their
servants just as they generally dis
titled their own brandy from their
own fruit. The cigar-making industry
did not begin to be factory industry
until 1910. when the first American
cigar factory was established in Con-
necticut, but the factory-made cigar
fiourished and by 1925 there were nu-
merous small cigar factories in Con-
necticut, Kentucky, Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Mary
land and Virginia There was then no
internal revenue tax on cigars or other
forms of prepared tobacco, the first
internal. revenue tax on domestic CT
gars and other tobacco products being
laid under the internal revenue law of
1852, which was, of course, a war reve-
nue. measure.
