THE WOODS
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH
SYLVIA.

IT WAS because the dawn was in
her eyes,
1t WAS because the night was IL her
hair,
Because I heard the forest in her
signs,
held her fair.
She came upon NE meath the huddIed
caves,
She walked beside me in the uaaze
of Itch
Her sadness. sadness of wood that
grieves,
Her smile, the sun again.
Her voice was like the whispering Of
trees,
Her laughter like the tinkle of a
rill;
Her cheeks blushed roses, roses such
as these
Upon the hill.
She was a river in thirsty land.
A changeleSs star in midnight skies
to shine
Her touch. to walk with Nature hand
in-hand--
And she was mine, was mine.
So leave me in the wood a little
while;
Here where the grass is groenest
let me lie.
The sun shall bring me once again
her smile.
The wind her sigh.
Here only do we seem no more apart,
In verdant ways beneath the skies
of blue;
The stirring earth will seem a beat
ing heart,
The heart, the heart I knew.
Once only she could bring the forest
near,
In those old days amid the painting
crowd.
Once only she could make the stars
appear
Beyond the cloud
So now the forest that her soul ex-
pressed
To my own soul is her interpreter
In ev'ry wind that wanders east or
hear but her, but heri

The Sprino Straw Hat,

All winter long man wears hat

friendly, slouchy, well-won sort OF
ching that he can pull down over his
ears when the wind blows or throw in
to the air at football game. It's
Just the sort of clothing man ought
to wear, not tyrannical but compan-
ionable. And then along comes spring.
In the spring, say the poets, the spirit
of man breaks it's bonds. A fellow
feels restless and indomitable, fit for
anything and free as the wind. he
brooks no restraint not he. He looks
upon his good old cap or hat and de-
cides he ought to buy another. And
he does. He goes and gets himself

unreliable sort of thing that Is faith.

can't roll 1t up and put It In his
pocket, he can't throw it into the air,
he can't pull it down over his ears
he can't do anything with It except
wear It daintily and carefully, until
the time comes to smash It IN the

SOUGHT TO ENHANCE CHARMS
Roman Beauties Well kne>. the Value
OF Time Spent at the Toilette
Table.

The toilette of the Roman beauty
was a vastly important affair. The
maids who assisted In 1t were usually
Greek slaves, and the length Of time
devoted to it may be Judged from the
fact that, like beauties Of France SO
many centuries later, the Roman
woman often had the poets. and the
philosophers of the day to divert her
during its progress, a favor Of which
they seem to have been less apprecia-
tive than their descendants In France.
The equipment for the toilette was
both elaborate and complete. Combs,
mirrors of FURNISHED bronze, bottles
for perfumes and boxes for rouge and
whitening preparations are all to be
found In collections Of Roman toilette
articles, and many are the harsh
words on the subject Of the feminine
toilette to be found In the writings Of
their masculine contemporaries who
disapproved Of charm in their women.
yet seem with masculine inconsistency
to have disapproved equally Of women
without charm.

hot Weather POinte
To SINNERS of Hogs

To prevent losses to hogs in transit
during hot weather, the Live Stock
Department of the Southern Railway
Ss stem has issued the following sug-
gestions to shippers:
Haul or drive hogs to station in
ample time to allow them to become
rested and cool before loading.
When ordering a car for loading
hogs, insist upon a clean one bedded
with sand, clay or earth.
Wet thoroughly the bedding and in
terror of car before loading.
Give only small feed of grain be-
fore shipping. Heavy feed means
mroe body heat generated.
Load not more than one hour before
he train is to depart
Load slowly and carefully. Avoid
excitement and do not beat or bruise
the animals.
Load not to exceed $4,000 lbs. fat
hogs and 10000 lbs. stock hogs in a
standard 36-ft. car during warm
weather.
Have water applied to the bedding
in the car at available points immedi-
ately after train stops.
Use ice on floor of car whenever
possible, three blocks to a car.
Report inattention or neglect prompt
ly to Superintendent Of Division OF
which shipment originates.
Never throw water directly upol
hogs after they become heated. Run
IT on floor Of car under hogs inste ad.

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
By c. N. LURE
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
FURTHER" AND "FARTHER."

PROBABLY the best way of show
[ ing the difference between these
TWO words, in correct usage, is to give
examples. The following two sep-
fences will illustrate this:
My time is limited. so I shall not
be able to go further into the sub
ject." 1--WE have to travel ten miles
farther before we reach our destina-
ton"
It will be seen from the foregoing
examples that the word further is
to be used when the writer or speaker
intends to give the idea of quantity,
or degree, and the word farther"
when the application is to actual dis
lance. Thus, do not say, San Fran
cisco Is further from New York than
Chicago Is" but farther from New
York" IN the language Of the gram
maians, farther" Is the comparative

the old Anglo-Saxon word fore"

TULEE are two sorts Of rules for
L playing cardS-lf YOU know and
follow one you win be successful In
playing The game for which those rules
apply; but Won WoI'e. unless you
follow the other set of rules ae ut all
sure OF finding partners to play with.
For most of us can forgive inddTer-
ent playing better than we can forgive
the inconsiderQte or Inbred player, no
matter how skiliful he or she may be
at the game.
So bear this in mind, if you wish
to be the popular card-player. Unless
! someone has requested you to give
Instructions in the game and asked
you for criticism, avoid the post
moltem. After the game is over do
not turn to your partner and say:
why didn't you return my lead in
the fourth hand round?" or Didn't
you see by my discard that l was
strong in clubs? Why didn't you play
them?" The answer to these Ques-
tons usually is that the player didn't
play the game as well as might be
but most players don't like to be
forced to admit it. Nor do they like
to start an argument hey asserting tina,
what they did play was better. SO make
up your mind that when a hand is
played. it is played. Don't bore those
who are playing with you by telling
them what a remarkable hand you haG
I after the hand is played. If they have
been watching the cards, they have
seen that it was remarkable, but, any
way, they won't be interested in hear
| ing about it afterwards.
| Don't complain Of your bad luck
When you do that the inference al
ways is that you ascribe your poor sue
cess to your cards and your op
| ponent's success merely to his goo(
| luck and not to his good playing. Ye
there are persons who always, unles,
winning, assure us that they are hav
ing all the bad hands and that the.
play very much better when the card
favor them.
And here is an important don't.
| Don't sulk if you don't win. If vol
are one Of those persons who canno
enjoy game without winning, yol
ought to put yourself on the list 0
those who do not play, for, somehow
when you show that you are not
good loser, you reveal something il
your character that no one can ad
mire. There is nothing so indicativ
of the truly well-bred person, as tn
ability to take defeat, whether in card
or In the affairs of business and socia
activity. The poor loser we Away
put down as being no thoroughbred.
If you Go not play a game fairl
well, do not accept an invitation t
play with others who probably pla
better. If you see that you will b
comforting a kindness by playin
when, perhaps, they need you to max
up q game, tell them quite frank
that you play indifferently. If, afte
you have made this announcement yo
are severely criticized by one of tn
players for some mistake in the card
you are quite justified in withdrawn
from the game, quite amicably, {
course, after you have played severn
hands around. You should not max
it appear that you have been offende,
but may conveniently seek some e1
cuse for dropping out.
