Mrs. Anna Clyde Plunkett, of
Houston, Texas. who is the charming
guest of Mrs. w. B. Hoffa, gave a

Land of the Sky Blue Water" in g
clear musical voice, which is re-
markable for a child of five years

nese and Indian drills, in costume. :

Snakes make excellent rat-catch-
ers, and the black snake, which is kill
ed so often on American farms, is
one of the rats worst enemies. In
tropical countries Demonstrators
and other snakes r kept in fruit
warehouses as a protection against
rats, and sometimes a snake is carried
in the hold of a vessel carrying food
that would otherwise be damaged by
rats.
One old captain whose ship had
been infested with rats conceived a
novel scheme for getting rid of them.
Every six months he trapped a dozen
or so rats and separated the males
and females. The males he starved
and when they were good and hungry
fed the females to them. This ex,
pertinent was repeated for a couple
Of weeks until he had about seven
Fferocious male rats with q strong ap-
petite for rat flesh. Then he opened
the door of the cage, let them loose
and, beginning with the young rats,
they cleared the vessel in short or
der. This plan was, no doubt, eff
fective enough, but it is singularly
unattractive.
Trapping rats is an effective meth.
cd of destruction, but it requires a
great deal of skill. According to DR.
David E. Lantz, who is the rat expert
of the Biological Survey, the i'm.
proved modern traps with a wire fall
released by a baited trigger and driv.
en- by a coiled spring" are the best
type of rat trap in use. With these
a department store in Washington
caught 1876 rats during the frs,
twenty nights they were set. Fol
bait, small pieces of sausage and ba'
con were used.

THE CLOUDS BLOW BY.

They'll all blow by, those clouds that
To hide the splendor of your dream;
They'll fade and fly before the light
That follows as the day the night.
Twill not be dark for long, for long,
While love decks lift with light and
song.
They'll soon blow by, they'll disap-
pear,
And where they float the skies will
clear,
The sun shines out, the day be sweet,
And forth we'll go with dancing feet,
To find life's yoke of good and i'll
Is measured fair to all men still.
The gloom will lift that haunts your
heart,
We have our dreams; the dreams de-
part;
Our ups and downs, our griefs and
cares,
But he lives best who plucks and
shares
From life's blest service hope to make
The worst seem best for dear loves
You're feeling blue; you must not
mind,
The world, with all it does that's
blind,
Still treats US we'll; we should not
lose
Our faith and trust and get the
blues,
The tempest roars a little while,
| Az I then the sunbeams sweetly smile
They'll all blow by; those, clouds tina,
gray
The ambient beauty of your day,
The shadows fall, but not for long;
Behind them turks the sunlit song,
The bloom, the cheer, the love Goo
gives
Through which the whole creation
lives.

AN IF" FOR GIRLS.

If you can dress 20 make yourself
attractive,
Yet not make curls and puffs your
chief delight;
If you can swim and row, be strong
and active,
But of the gentler graces not lose
sight;
If you can dance without a craze for
dancing,
Play without giving play too strong a
hold,
Enjoy the love of friends without
romancing,
Care for the weak, the friendless, and
the old,
If you can master French, and Greek
and Latin,
And not acquire as well a piggish
mien;
If you can feel the touch of silk and
satin
Without despising calico and jean;
If you can ply a saw and use a ham,
mer,
Can do a mans work when the need
occurs,
Can sing when asked, without excuse,
or stammer,
Can rise above unfriendly snubs and
slurs,
If you can make good bread as well
I as Judges,
Can sew with skill and have an eye
for dust;
If you can be a friend and hold no
grudges.
A girl whom all must love because
they must;
If you should some times meet and
love another,
And make a home with faith and
peace enshrined,
And you, it's soul-a loyal wife and
mother,
You'll work out pretty well to my
mind
The plan that's been developed
through the ages.
J And win the best that life can have
in store;
You'll be my girl, a model for the
sages,
A woman whom the world will bow
before.

The recital given by Mrs. Ann

had the opportunity of having. That
her assistants in rendering this pro-
gram were Misses Duncan, Lawler
and Esther B~roadstreet and Mrs. NJ.
ID. L. Martin, was but an additional
incentive for the public to attend.
Rarely have such accomplished ar
fists been gathered together to burn
incense at the shrine'of the Muse OF
Music, to offer up devotions to that
Master of Masters, Aeolius, the Flute
Player.
The audience, oblivious to all eX-
traneous affairs. a s~pell-bound un-
til the last chord melted away into
an unaudible echo-only then did it
realize reluctantly that the program
had run its course.
The program. which is a credit
both to the participants and to the
institutions with which they are af-
filiated, follows:

And on our souls there falls a

Baking powders made from alum or phosphate may be bought for triae less than Royal Baking Powder, which is made from cream of tartar, derived from grapes
 Alum powders are not only cheap, but they differ greatly in leavening power.
 If a cheap baking powder is used for fine cake and the cake turns out failure there is waste of costly materials worth more than whole can of the cheap bak- ing powder.
 Royal Baking Powder produces the finest food and its use therefore, results in an actual saving.

They reasted famously-the cuisine
II bourgeoise, was admirable and, bet
ter still, well within the resources of
Lanyard's emaciated purse. Nor did
he fret that, when the bill had been
paid and the essential tips bestowed,
there would remain in his pocket little
more than cab fare. Supremely self
confident, he harbored no doubts of a
smiling future-now that the dark
pages in his record had been turned
and sealed by resolution he held ir-
revocable.
His spirits had mounted to a high
pitch, thanks to their successful eva
sion. He was young, he was in love,
he was hungry, he was-in short-very
much alive. And the consciousness of
common peril knitted an enchanting
intimacy into their talk.
For the first time in his history Lam
yard found himself in the company Of
woman to whom he dared-and
cared-to speak without reserve-a
circumstance intrinsically intoxicating.
And stimulated by her unquestionable
interest and sympathy. he did talk
without reserve-of old Troyon's and
it's drudge Marcel, OF Bourke and his
wanderings, Of the education of the
Lone Wolf and his career, less in pride
than in relief that it was ended, of the
future he must achieve for himself.
And, sitting with chin Graded on the
backs of her interlaced fingers, the
girl listened with such indulgence as
women find always for their lovers. OF
herself she had little to say. Lanyard
| filled in to his taste the outlines of
the simple history Of the young wom-
an OF good family obliged to become
self-supporting.
And II at times her grave eyes
clouded and her attention wandered,
1t was less in ennui than because of
occult trains Of thought set in motion
by some chance word or phrase of
Lanyards.
I'm boring you," he suggested once
with quick contrition, waking up to the
fact that he'd monopolized the conver-
sation for many minutes on end.
She shook q pensive head. mo,
again. But, / wonder, do you appreci-
ate the magnitude Of the task you've
set yourself?"
Possibly not" he conceded AFRO
gantly; but it doesn't matter. The
heavier the odds, the greater the In

Then only l stand between you
and"
MY dear young woman!" he pro-
tested hastily. please don't run away
with any absurd notion like that. Do
you imagine I'd consent to treat with
such canaille under any circum-
stances?
"All the same" she contended stub
bornly, I'm the stumbling block,
You're risking your life for me-"
"Well." he laughed, "haye It your
own way! But it's my life, isn't It?
I really don't see how you're going to
prevent my risking 1t for anything that
may seem to me worth the riskl"
But she wouldn't laugh; only her
countenance, suddenly bereft of its mu'
tinous expression, softened winningly
-and her eyes grew very kind to him
"As long as it's understood under
stand--very WELL" she said quietly
"r1l do as you wish, Mr.. Lanyard"
"Good!" he cried cheerfully. II wish
by your leave, to take you out to din
ner. This way, pleased"
Leading her through the scullery, he
unbarred and swung open q low
arched door in one Of the walls, uncov
ering the black. mouth Of a narrow
and tunnel-like passageway that rar
of at right angles from the side Of the
house.
With word of caution, fiash-lamp IN
his left hand, pistol in right, Lanyard
stepped out into the darkness.
In two minutes he was back with q
look of relief.
"All clear" he reported; II fell

entertained unlimited guests lonl

ners, until quite convinced that the
shadow was dedicated to himself ex-
clusively, then promptly revised his
prior purpose and, instead Of sticking
to darker backways, struck out direct
ly for the broad, well-lighted, and live
ly Boulevard Sebastopol.
Crossing this without another back
ward glance, he turned north, seeking
some cafe whose arrangements suited
his designs; and. presently, though not
before their tramp had brought them
almost to the line Of the Grand bouIe-
wards, found one to his taste, a cheer
full and well-lighted establishment situ-
ated upon corner, with entrances
from both streets. A hedge Of forlorn
fir trees knee-deep in wooden tubs
guarded its collection Of round, metal
tables and spindle-shanked chairs, Of
which few were occupied. Inside, Wis
ible through the wide plate-glass win
dows, perhaps dozen patrons sat
round half as many tables-no more
idling over dominoes and gossip
steady-paced burghers with their
wives, men in small ways Of business
in the neighborhood.
Entering to this company, Lanyard
selected a square, handicapped table
against the back wall, entrenched him
self with the girl upon the plush-up-
holstered seat behind 1t, ordered cof-
fee and writing materials, and proceed
ed to light cigarette with the non
chalance Of one to whom time is of no
consequence.
What is iti" the girl asked guard
! edly. as the waiter scurried or to exN
