BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

TN CLOSE company with her more
gaudily colored neighbor, Joe Pye,
the boneSet, modestly clothed in
soft white, has made a name for
herself among her human kinfolk. Fol
1t is the decoction that is made from
her dried leaves that is said to break a
fever. Herb doctors also. have
sought her when their patients needed
q tonic. After a copious draught of
this tea, the ailing one soon feels its
beneficial effects, stepping high with
vim, vigor and vitality. Children of
olden days, many of whom were well
acquainted with some of the most
noxious of tonics, were permitted to
have boneset taffy, a great improve
ment on the tea and a medicine
eagerly taken.
From New Brunswick to Manitoba
and Southwark, you will find this
worthy neighbor mingling socially with
many Of your old friends, white snake,
wild sunflower, Joe Pye mentioned
above, and I'll leave the others for
you to recognize next Summer. when
you go to call on this wise little road
side and meadow resident.
No snowy advertisement does
Madam Boneset set forth; rather, she
unfurls the white flag of truce. Her
s o S has a herbaceous odor, and
near and far the invitation reaches
guests, all eager to sip at the flowing
gobletS. Each cluster of white flowers
has from 10 to Is nectar filled cups.
Here beetles, wasps, bees and flies
flock to refresh themselves.
The thrifty ants, whose sense of
smell is tremendous, cannot scale the

White Stars
BY JAMES ]. MONTAGUE.

BY JAMES ]. MONTAGUE.
The birds have bade their nests
goodbye,
But here and there and yon
The white stars flutter from the sky
And bravely carry on.
A cleaning coverlet they form,
Each on 9 tiny wing,
To keep the old world bright and
warm
Until another Spring
Another Spring with leafy bowers
And many bright and bursting flowers.
The skies o'erhead are dour and gray,
The wind is never still;
A sleigh-bell tinkles far away
Beyond a distant hill
Above the meadow wings a crow,
His beady eyes a-shine,
Forever seeking, to and fro,
The wherewithal to dine.
And still the white stars settle down
On hill and valley, farm and town.
They do not rustic as they fall,
Flake after glistening fake,
Upon the moSsy garden wall
Or by the froken lake.
They come and go as shadows do
Beyond the pasture bars,
And every quiet meadow through
The tiny shining stars
Will bring delight and joy and cheer
AS long as Winter days are here.

Aroused Russia.

It was Napoleon who first aroused
the national spirit of Russia, as he
aroused nationalism wherever he went.
The Russian armies which followed
on his heels into Europe came back
with o new sense Of dignity-more
having come into touch with the lib
eral ideas Of the French Revolution,
they returned imbued with liberal
ideas, and it is not surprising that
Russia's first revolutionaries were the
young ncblemen who oficered the
army that beat Napoleon.

African Boy Film Star.

Bape, the first African to be seen
all over Africa, is probably the proud

star in films for African native audi

Galore.

THAT the far greater part of the
English language is foreign in
origin is truism so well-known as
hardly to require assertion.
There are, however, many words,
which, though imported, have not
withstanding so native a tang as to be
in effect, if not in fact. indigenous.
Consider, for effiample, the word ga
lore. meaning in abundance or plenty.
We have galore" frome the Gaelic
"gu leor," in the identical sense.
From the Gaelic 1t made its way,
with but slight modification. into the

the English language.

From July until late September the
white, fluffy flowers may be seen.
Look well at the leaves. You will
find that several insects, well aware
of the power of the boneset, have
taken the "cure," and that is why
you will find the leaves now a mere
network of veins. Who knows but
these wee creatures were the first to
discover the boneset's valuable prop

INTOXICATION CHARGE
DISMISSED BY JUDGE
Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore Black Win
Contention They Were IL
legally Arrested.

A contention that they were illegally
arrested because they were on their
own property resulted in the dis
missal of intoXication and disorderly
charges against Mrs. Eugenia Black
and intoxication charges against her
husband, Theodore Black. when they
were arraigned before Judge Gus A.
Schuldt in Police Court yesterday.
Policemen C. S. Trice and r. j.
Serber testified they found the woman
in an unconscious condition in the
front yard of her home IN the North
west section of the city. The hus-
band was seen to run into the base
ment of the house upon the arrival
of police and one of them caught him
and brought him out.
The alleged offense occurred early
yesterday. The woman, police said,
was unclad except for an overcoat
which had been thrown over her.
Attorney Thomas David moved to
dismiss the case on the grounds po-
lice were without Jurisdiction on a
property occupied by the couple.
Judge Schuldt, after lengthy dis
cussion with members of the corpora
ton counsers ONCE, granted the
motion.

SUNLIGHT-MORE SUNLIGHT.
A WASHINGTONIAN travelling
through North Carolina brings
back this story.
About 1900 q doctor told his woman
patient "You must have sunlight
more sunlight" And the woman was
taken to Hendersonville. N. C. There,
too, the doctors said You must have
sunlight-more sunlight" For four
years the woman fingered In the sun
light, and then she passed away.
The doctors words must have been
on her mind at the last. Her dying
wish was that she might be buried
where she would have sunlight
more sunlight"
A brick sarcophagus. 10 feet long,
5 feet wide and feet nigh was con-
structed above the ground IN the
family plot. The hdless cofiin was
lowered into this. Over the entire
crypt was placed a slab with glass
windows. From dawn to dusk the
suns rays were free to enter the
grave.
For years the curious came to see.
Then, about five years ago, member
of the family had thick coat Of tar
poured over the glass windows to stop
the pilgrimages of the morbid.
More time passed. Children heard
the story of the windowed grave and
came and tried to scratch away the
tar. But In doing so they scratched
the glass so it was not transparent.
But today, if you visit the windowed
grave in Hendersonville. you probably
will find a child near the grave, hold
ing a Jar of water. For nickel he
will pour water on the glass. so that
it fills the scratches in the glass, max
ing it smooth enough to see through.
And if you look within you can see
a skeleton lying in a violet hght-the
skull resting on a mat Of horsehair,
the covering of the pillow long since
vanished. You can discern gold
breast pin lying on the breast bone.
The pin glitters in the sunlight.
