NleHTINGALES ON FIRING LINE
Will Irwin Hears the Sweet song OF
the Bird Blending With Sound
Of Guns.

We were quartered on an artillery
officer, on the IsOnzo front. Outside, II
was a spring night of the poets. The
moon had come up like great drop or
honey. No gun was firing, for once.
"They sometimes shell a position up
yonder," said the artillery officer as we
walked along. 81 only hope l shant
be Weakened by whir-boom !"
We were silent for a while after
that; and suddenly, in a thicket on the
right. a bird song burst out--a song
SO lusty, so wonderfully sweet, that l
stopped in my tracks.
Nightingale" said our lieutenant.
Much as l had read concerning the
singer of the dewy meads, had never
heard him before-he, the bird or
poets and lovers. He sang like our
own meadow larks of California, but
higher. sweeter and infinitely stronger.
We had walked on and on, hundreds OF
yards, before 1 stopped again. L could
still hear him plainly; and another one,
far down the glen, was answering.
I woke twice that night and listened
for the sound Of guns. There they
were. only very far away. But the
nightingale was singing still, near and
loud.-Will Irwin, in Saturday Eve

FORCED TO SELL HER HAIR.
Minor Tragedy In the Complex LIE
That Forms Inseparable Part OF
Great City.

Her hair was cleaning black. Loos-
ened, IL fell like an inky torrent as
low as her knees. Dorothy Dare, like
Famine, stepped from Victor Hugo's

brokers attention to this as she bar
gained with him in the little shop
near Eighth and Main streets.
There being no disputing the fact
that the hair did reach her knees, the
pawnbroker rejoined as best he could
with the counter statement, equally
apparent, that Miss Dare was far
from being a tall young woman. True,
II was nice hair, but true, also, %
was q nice price.
The bargaining ended with barber
being called from a shop a couple OF
doors away. Dorothy Dare, twenty
years old, with the bloom OF the coun-

ground before the onslaught of the big
city, and the luxuriant black hair was

FIGHTING COCK KILLS OWNER
Knife on Game Fowls Leg Cut Artery
in Mans Leg, and Death Fol-
lowed Shortly.

What proved to be fatal attempt
nj fighting cocks surreptitiously was
the one made In the back yard of Vi
cente's stables at Alt Gale g. Tauson.
Sampaloc. in which Florentino de IA
Cruz received a deep cash on the left
thigh, cutting an artery, from the hight
ing knife of one Of the ROSTERS, from
which he died from loss of blood while
being rushed to the Philippine General
hospital.
From the investigation Of the oc.
currence and from the testimony OK
witnesses, it is. deduced that Floren-
tino, who was cochero of the stables,
and Pedro Santos, another cochero,
were about to engage in a surreptitious
game Of cock-hghting and had fas-
tened knives to their respective birds
legs.
When everything was ready both
men sat on their launches preparatory
to turning the birds loose. Florentino,
however, put his bird on his lap and
as the two men who had sat too close
together their birds began to fight
while still in their hands, with the re-
suit that Florentino received deep
thrust I'm the left thigh, cutting an ar
terry. The fast wagon was immediate
ly called to convey the injured man to
the hospital, but on account of the Sc

WITH PROPER USE OF PAINT
veranua May Be Made Most Comfort
able Resting Place II Little
Chintz Is Added.

You women who live In the country
will find that a can or two OF paint
and a bolt OF pretty chintz will do
much to transform your porch furni-
ture, says the New York Telegraph. If
you have no comfortable chairs for
piazza use, do buy one or two. They
need not be expensive pieces, but be
sure they are comfortable and have
pretty lines.
The wicker or reed furniture is real
IL the most attractive for verandas,
and Ii is not at all expensive.
You need not worry If you have two
or three pieces Of one kind and cou-
pie of pieces of another variety. After
you have given them all a coat of the
same paint and made chintz-cushioned
seats and backs for them, they will
look enough alike to fool any casual
eye. Besides, no one expects rigid for
mality in porch decorations.
If your house is white or gray you
will find that green porch furniture
will look best. Give all the chairs, Ia
bles and settees a coat of green paint
and one of green enamel paint. The
chintz for green furniture should con-
trast with 1t, and figure with good
deal of red In it will be found most
effective.
1t may be wisest to have a cheap
upholsterer make the seat cushions
and backs IL you are afraid to tackle
so tricky job. Have them made with
some white goods as cover. Then
you can yourself make Slip covers OF
the chintz for them. The reason why
1t is better not to have tin. chintz put
right on as the first cover Of the cush
ions, is because it may soil very quick
ly, being where the street dust car
easily reach it. If the chintz is made
into slip covers they can be removed
and washed when soiled.
If your house is any other color ex
cept white or gray, brown porch furni
ture is prettiest. So you can paint YOU
furnishings brown and use almost any
gayly colored, pretty bright chintz fol
cushions.

ATTIC A THING OF THE PAST
Treasure House Of Family Relics Has
Completely Disappeared in These
Modern Days.

A very modern indictment against
the architects and builders Of this
town has been returned by q young
married couple who have spent con-
siderable time looking for a home.i
They report the incredible fact that
there are no attics In the newer class
of houses, or very few. Where the
attic ought to be there are finished'
rooms with regular floors, papered
walls and lighting fixtures.
To the philosophic mind this Is
state Of affairs of the gravest mo-
ment, for in the swift moving tide OF
American life that has swept away so
many of the moorings Of the home
and family the attic was about all
that was left to tie to, remarks a.
writer In the Indianapolis News. Not
everybody can have ancestors por-
traits, family skeletons, and the other
things that go with lineage, but eve
erybody can have an attic II they VIII
make q stand for 1t and not allow a
mere style I'm houses to deprive them
OF their rights. An attic is the near
est substitute for a family tree that
has been discovered. 1t takes only
few generations to furnish 1t with me-
mentos that constitute a complete
genealogical history Of the occupants
of the house. And these are the things
like portraits and skeletons-that go
to preserve family pride.
No man can go into the attic ana
see the first copper-toed boots he wore
as a boy hanging to the rafters with
out feeling some sort OF stir within
him. He cannot see the remains or
his grandmother's hoopskirts without
] feeling somehow that there is a cons
Meeting link between him and the his
tory OF his country. AS for the pad
ded silk brocaded vest his grandfather
wore on his wedding day, 1t is pat
ent Of responsibility equal to sult
of nrmor-besides looking q good deal
like one.

Loses Faith in Forecaster.

A prominent woman living at Evans
Vile has lost faith in the United
States weather bureau, remarks the
indianapolis News. Recently this
woman bought a new hat for which
she paid a fancy price. The day at
ter the hat was delivered she wished
to go to the ball game, apd in order to
be on the safe side she rang up the
local weather bureau to see whether
it was going to rain that afternoon.
She told the observer that she had a
new hat but II he thought Ii was go
ing to rain she would wear her old one
to the ball game. The weather man
told her he was sure 1t was not going
TO rain, and that she would be per-
fectly safe in wearing her new hat.
She took his advice, and 1t rained In
torrents and her new hat was ruined.
She has been using a good many adj
1ectives since then in expressing her
opinion of the weather man.

In his personal story Of life In the
British trenches in France, in the
Worlds Work, William ]. Robinson,
tells the following story Of his side
partner: :"
my mate begins to grumble about
the weight of his pack, but he has
nothing to say against the ten-pound
dog he has picked up and is carrying
under one arm. First it was canary
he picked up in a ruined house In
Ypres. He carried that cage every
where he went for six weeks, until ne
found a chap who was going on leave,
and he got him to deliver the BIRD TO
his 'missus.' Then Il was goat.
Where he got It, heaven only knows,
but he named 1t Teviticus,' and was
ready to fight any man who had
word to say against his pet. The TEL
lows stood for the goat as long as
they could, but finally Leviucus
turned up missing, and Harry, my
mate. was going around with his hsts
doubled I'D and blood in his eye for
some time. IF 1 ever find the bleeder
wot plnched my mascot, I'm an me is
goin' to ave 'eart-to-'eart talk wotll
put I'm in old woman's 'ome for the
rest of rs bleedin' life However, his
grief soon cooled, and now his affec-
lions are all wrapped up In dirty
little mongrel he calls Fritz. Fritz
gets the best of all that is going, ana
Harry would starve himself rather
than to see the object of his affec-
lions want for a single thing"

your fathers creditors you do it, but

Let me try the frOcks on inter-

and brought them in. They were GER
tainly prettier than any she had ever
purchased herself, and, of course,
GeOrgette was crazy to have them.
What do you want for them?'
she asked.
They cost $500 apiece I said,
and I have never worn either of
them. I think I should get at least
$3.50 each
My goodness, Paula, you don't
mean that, do yOu?' exclaimed Aunt
Rachel

can sell some of my belongings I will
have only about $50 when l leave

after all the little personal bills are

and think I will try to sell some Of
my new dresses to some Of my &C

me a start.

he might start my story, before I
knew that the doctor from Vienna
was coming so soon, and now am
writing against time, for I want to
get this story ahead so that it will
keep while I am in the hospital. l
think it is a good thing that I have
it on my mind, for it takes my
thoughts away from myself.

the papers giving up the house and
all that it contained except a few ar

grace. My tears fell thick and fast
on the paper as I signed and l whis-
pered to myself: Dearest mother,
you see I am doing just as you wish
me to do
Aunt Rachel got here just after
I had signed the papers and she was
perfectly furious. Z always knew you
were a silly girl, but never had an
idea that you could be as big a fool
as you have just shown yourself to
be. You have chosen your life
