Emily Dickinson.

Size was never known to have a
lover. She seldom left her fathers
house In Amherst, Mass. and when she
crossed its threshold 1t was to wander
alone In the quaint garden. And she
has written some Of the most impas-
stoned verse in modern literature. Her
solitary life set into the frame of her
glowing verse is the answer TO the
question, "DO writer's have to go
through the varied phases of sfe to
know 'love'?' Emily Dickinson was
born In Amherst in 1890. She died
there in 1885, OF her extraordinary
verses that were witchery of new
forms of expression, regardless Of
poetic rules, prominent clergyman
and distinguished author Of New Eng
land, Thomas Wentworth Higglnson,
said, when thought takes your
breath away, lesson on grammar
seems ence."-Chicago Jour-
nal.

Fortune Telling by Bones.

1t is strange that in the Transvaal
the belief in Kaffir doctors and their
wiZardry has not died out. Nearly
every old Kaflir has always with him a
bag of bones, knuckles and joints Of
animals. With these he pretends to
be able to foretell the future. He
throws the "dOlod" as they are called,
and then reads out the Omens. Should
a white man wish to confer with the
oracle, he must throw the bones him
self. Many white men firmly believe
In the ability Of the Kaffir doctor to
cure them from sundry ills, and in
RhOdesia there have been many cases
where the Kaftir doctors have saved
whites from the ravages Of the terrible
fevers that rage there, in addition to
coping with the toothache and other
ills.

women full political rights with men.
This would indicate that the Filipino
may beat her American sisters to the

Canine Curiosity.

The curiosity of the dog is pro.
nounced If observed for few min
utes. 1t Is quick to notice a strange
dog or person and the value Of the
watchdog comes from the fact that
1t wants to investigate every noise.
1t Is very interesting to watch dog
when 1t meets beetle. At first he
seems to be little afraid of the tiny
creature, but finally he can't resist any
longer, so he plucks up enough cour-
age to touch II with his paw. Then,
realizing that it has not hurt him, he
smells 1t and rolls 1t over and over
with his nose. Then, after he has sat
isfied his curiosity, he walks away and
leaves the beetle to go its way IL he
has not put it out Of commission with
the strenuousness Of the investigation.

men in the factory have volunteered
to work on the holiday to get out that
rush war order, and can't do less. I'm
late now. but I'll phone our name in
before I leave"
The family kept quiet while Mr..
Fairfield's voice sounded at the phone
and until the front door shut behind
him. Then Carl broke forth In that
heart-breaking tone which only seven
teen can assume. Mother, l simply
won't stand for II. We made all the
arrangements q month ago for that
picnic and father promised then !

are plenty Of other people who can
lend their cars for the parade. And
after I was lucky enough to get Grace
Garfield, when four other fellows were
after her."

told me her sister was going to the pic

"Oh, plug It up, Will you, Jane? You
make me tired, anyway. Mother, can't
you make father see reason, somehow?
I'd look a dud, now, wouldn't l, telling
her couldn't take her when the other
fellows have gotten some onel"
Mrs. Fairfield looked perplexed.
"You know your fathers creed, Carl !;

be ended this year. The 'Watchman'
breaches that In his column every
morning, and father swears by him.
why don't you explain to Miss Gar
field and ask her to go for ride af-
ter the parade"
That evening, at the Fairfield dinner
table, Carl ate what was placed before
him In sullen silence, taking no share
in the conversation until Jane re-
marked, apropos Of nothing: Mary
Garfield says her sisters awful mad
at you. Carl-says you're an old stick
in-the-mud and haven't got any gump-
ton, anyway, or you wouldn't let your
father boss you around So"
Carl turned wrathful eyes upon his
sister. muttering: Just walt Till ] get
you alone, smarty."
Mr.. Fairfield paused In his recital
of how much work his men had turned
out that day, to reprimand his small
daughter, but there was twinkle In
his eve as he addressed his son: Hard
luck. Carl; our mother tells me you
had captured the prettiest girl In the
school for the picnic. Well had an
eve for a pretty girl myself when |

glance at his wife, who at forty was
still handsome woman. "Plan pic
