One afternoon eaw der seated upon a hentet with gay, chattering compau ions w lio re dla tad joy and sparkle on every side ot ber, Deft fingers new with chattering tengues, caucusing her by the bewilder- ing creations callea into being with 5 breathless baste. When night came the loneliness she dreaded did not come, so filled was her solitude by thoughts of all she had seen and heard, and so bard did per brain work to digest all the wonders. Would she, could sbe, in two mouths grasp the "eomething" and take it home to America, and in so doing reach another stepping stone in her career? The following morning found her seated upon her assigned bench. She had been told to come at 8 o'clock, and every clock and watch said but she was alone. In half an hour her companions of yesterday began to stray in casually. Dull of eye and listlessly they came. No bubbling /augh, no gay chatter filled the room, and what was more surprising, no work was attempted. Some great calamity must have occurred! The whole nation must be suffering death and facing calamity. Questions failed to bring forth answers, and the puzzle grew. Were all her dreams to vanish with the night? The "house" must have failed was her final thought. Around 10 or 11 o'clock the party broke up for clejeuner, and with their return came a breath of the spirit of the afternoon before. Increasing gay- ety and brilliant ideas grew with the hours, and the wonder of it was room and more inexplicable. The mornings were one long torture, the afternoons a joy. One day all was revealed. A tiny' hypodermic needle fllied with the stuff that dreams are made of is the spirit 'of the Paris hat! The workers until sufficiently "dop- ed" cannot work, cannot produce, and listlessly idle the morning hours till hypoderralc needle and absinth cre- ate the gay, chattering designer, who brings forth the joy giving Paris hat.— Jessie Belyea in National Magazine. CLAY'S FIRST SPEECH. it Began In Confusion, but Ended In a Brilliant Triumph. Henry Cley as a young man was ex- tremely bashful, although he possessed uncommon brightness of intellect and fascinating address, without effort making the little be knew pass for much more. In tbe early part of his career be settled in Lexington, Va., where be found the society most con- genial, though the clients seemed somewhat recalcitrant to the young lawyer. He joined a debating society at length, but for several meetings he remained a silent listener. One evening after a lengthy- debate the subject was being put to a Tots 5vhen Clay was heard to Observe,softly to a friend that the matter in question was by no means exhausted. He was at once asked to speak and after some hesitation rose to his feet Finding himself thus unexpectedly- confronted by an audience, be was covered with confusion and began, as he had fre- quently done, in imaginary appeals to the court, "Gentlemen of the jury." A. titter that ran through the au- dience only served to heighten his em- barrassment, and the obnoxious phrase fell from his bps again. Then he gath- ered himself together and launched into it peroration so brilliantly lucid and impassioned that it carried the house by storm and laid the corner- stone to his future greatness, his first case coming to him as a result of this speech, which sonie consider the finest he ever made.

WE need to be reminded quite as much as to be informed. Mem- ory has been jocluraly described as "the thing we forget with." Out of sight is apt to be out of mind. An advertiser who relies on the memory of the public leans on a brok- en reed. .The absence of its advertis- ing from the newspapers has been the beginning of the end for many a firm. "The present suitor has ever the ad- vantage over the absent .over." A. business that has achieved its magni- tude or strength as the result of faithful ad- vertising plays itself false if it suspends or ceases its advertising, on the grounds ofecono- my. It is poor business vision which fails to see the principal feeder of business, and fatal judgement which cuts it off or interrupts its flow. Economies may be warranted, but they had better be effected in any other department than in the sales department—the department of revenue. Any course which shoves your customer back from you or hides you from your customer is ruinous. The man with the money needs to be constantly sought. Adver- tising is the great discoverer of new customers, the:great retainer of old ones. If You forget the Public, the Public will forget You.

This fact was brought out at Windser, when John O'Keefe was eharged with running away with the wife and two children of J. jagin, of RetlfreW Minty. The charge laid against O'Keefe was that of taking possessioe of another mite's children, but the court decided that no evidence was brought to show that he took the children or induced the mother to run away with him. She came voluntarily and took the children, and, aecording to the court's ruling, the only action that eould ise,Ivronght WAS a eivil suit by the f ether. "I etn terry thetS is to law in this country under which I Can eonvict you," said the Magistrate, when O'keefe was brought before him. "You ran away from your wife and children and took this woman away from her husband, practically breaking up two homes, If I eould, I would give you a stiff jail sentence. Go back to your family and leave other men's wives alone." Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTOR1 A The Steep Hillsides. The farmer who cultivates steep hill- sides is wasting the resources of his farm. Possibly for two or three years after being cleared, it may bring paying crops, but in a very short time it is so depleted of fertility that its cultivation is not profitable and considerable time and money must be expended to get it in shape to be of any future value. When rightly handled, the steep hill -- side can be made as profitable as any other part of the farm. If the hillside faces the south, there can be no doubt but that it is the best location on the place or an orchard, sinee it is protect- ed from cold and high winds. The steep billside will also make an excellent permanent pasture which will provide food for stock for six or eight months in the year at practically no expense. The steep hillside could else be used as a wood-1ot, or, more especially, as a place to grdw fence post timber. The growing scareity end increasing &retied for durable fence posts will insure a profit from a plantation of fenee pat timber equivalent to that obtained from the cultivated portions of the farm.

TWO DIFFERENT MEN. (Southern Cross.) s Two men toiled side by side from sun to sun, And both were poor; Both sat With children, when the day was done. About their door. One saw the beautiful in crimson cloud And shining moon; The other, with his head in sadness bowed, Made night of noon. One loved each tree and flower and singing bird On mount or plain; No music in the soul of one was stirred By leaf or rain. One saw the good in every fellow man, And hoped the best; The other marvelled at his Master's plan, And doubt confessed. One, having God above and heaven below, Was satisfied, The other, discontented, lived in woe, And hopeless died, Many of us miss the joys that might be ours by keeping our eyes fixed on those of other people, No one ean enjoy his own opoortunities for happiness while he is envious of another's. We do not take any pleasure in our OWn modest horse and carriage, because we long for the motor car or victtria that some one else owns. The edge is taken off the the enjoyment of our own little home because We are watching the palatial residence of our neighbor. Life has its full measure of happiness for every ohe of us, if we would only determine to make the very meet Of every opportunity that %wrens car way insteaclof longing for the things that comes our neighbors way, Ron.

Much Pain From Kidney Disease Doctored in Vain Untii Dr, Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills Were Used. Kidney derangements are often as- sociated with disorders of the liver and bowels, and under these condi- tions ordinary kidney medicines usu- ally fail to effect cure. It is beeauSe of their unique, combined action on the liver, kidneys and bowels that Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills are so gen- orally successful, oven in the naoat complicated cases. Mr. Emanuel Bernard, farmer, St. Paul's'Kent county, N.B,, writes :— "About eighteen years ago zny„vvife was bad with kidney disease, and suf- fered greatly from headaches, pains in bowels and stomach, and her heart was affected. For a year she was treated by her doctor, with no appar- ent benefit. She then used five boxes of Dr, Chase's Xidney-Liver Pills with .nost satisfactory results. This gave us such it good opinion of Dr. Chase's -gianey-Liver Pills that we always keep them in the house to be used for itt derangements of the kidneys, liver and bowels."

A moderate amount of care given to ' these Industrious workers will help out considerably in these days of the high cost of living by providing a supply of the most delicious and healthful of all sweets for the table. It is especial- ly good for cooking purposes and is far superior to any other sweet for the little folks. It is not necessary to go into eaten - sive beekeeping in order to have honey for the home. A half a dozen colonies when properly cared for will give the average family all that it can use and possibly some to sell. Of course if- the farmer cared to do so he could easily keep' a larger num- ber of colonies and add to his income by their work. Quite often the wo- men of the farm attend to theheel and buy relief from the drudgery of farm life through the aid of these little Insects. In -days gone by most of the bees kept on farms were to be found 10. hollow logs, commonly known as "bee gums," or else in tight boxes with a few sticks nailed across on the inside, to which the bees attached their combs. The favorite method of removing the honey or "robbing the bees," as it *as called, was to smother them by plac- ing the hive over a pit in which brim- stone was burning. Then the Miley could be taken out, but It would be necessary to get more bees next year. However, this cruel method bee pass ed away, and now almost every bee. keeper uses hives with movable frames, and the honey can be removed without killing a single bee. . The Sweetest Days.
