NOT CUT OUT FOR SOLDIER Widow Healy Indulges in Some Plain Speaking to Her Devoted but Timid Lover. The courting of the Widow Healy by Terence Corcoran was a tedious affair to every one in Magray place, most of all to the widow herself, who tried various expedients to assist her timid admirer. "I'm thinking I might go for a sojer," Terence announced one night, "when his fancy had been stirred by a newspaper account of a military pageant. "I'm not so old but I could lo it. I was wanst in a school regi ment." "You go for a sojer!" cried the Widow Healy in mingled scorn and alarm. "A man that calls on a lone widow for two years and more, wid out pluck enough to spake his mind, hasn't the makings of a dhrummer boy In him." The Weeds Return. "Confounil these election bets, any way!" grumbled Harker. "Lose heavily?" inquired his friend. "No, I won ten boxes of cigars and thoy were so rank I sold the whole lot to the corner tobaccoaist for a dollar." "Well, you made a dollar, anyway." "Yes, but that is not the worst of it. My wife saw the boxes in the window marked 'A Bargain, $2,' and bought the whole lot to give me as a birthday present." A Question. Vera (eight years old) What does transatlantic mean, mother?

A lady doctor writes : "Though busy hourly with my own affairs, I will not deny myself the pleasure of taking a few minutes to tell of my enjoyment daily obtained from my morning cup of Postum. It Is a food beverage, not a poison like coffee. "I began to use Postum eight years ago, not because I wanted to, but be cause coffee, which I dearly loved, made my nights long weary periods to be dreaded and unfitting me for busi ness during the day. "On the advice of a friend, I first tried Postum, making it carefully as directed on the package. As I had always used, 'cream and no sugar,' 1 mixed my Postum so. It looked good, was clear and fragrant, and it was a pleasure to see the cream color it as my Kentucky friend always wanted her coffee to look 'like a new sad dle.' "Then I tasted it critically, for I had tried many 'substitutes' for coffee. I was pleased, yes, satisfied, with my Postura in taste and effect, and am yet, being a constant user of it all these years. "I continually assure my friends and acquaintances that they will like it in piaffe of coffee, and receive benefit from Us use. I have gained weight, can sleep sound and am 'not nervous."

He made a wild grab at the set pole, and, like the novice that he was, hauled the long line Ashless out of the water and flung it back over his shoulder. A frightened bleat punctuated the movement. As Keating turned the rod was Jerked rudely from his hands, and the amazed angler saw an indignant sheep scudding across the lea with the hook of his tackle firmly embed ded in its wool, and his expensive rod hillock jumping behind at the end of the unreeled silk. "Blast it!" growled Keating, too worried about the future of his spilt bamboo to find the ludicrousness in the situation. "Darn that butt-in sheep! Why didn't she keep her in quisitive nose cut of my business anyway?" The sheep showed no inclination to stop, and Keating hastily arose from his grassy seat on the banks of the stream and gavo strenuous chase. He sped grimly across fields, and the frightened quadruped, after one hasty glance behind, raced madly to the fence and swung her heavy form over it. Both Keating and the sheep now buckled in in genuine earnest. Keating had the college honors of his day for long-distance running. He grimly set his jaw and settled down to fancy scd dusting. The youth made his hurdle with ease. The sheep was now some dis tance ahead on an open road packed He Sped Grimly Across Field3. hard, thanks to the rain of the morn ing, and perfectly adapted to the handicap race. They passed a farm house with the youth gaining. A surprised yokel yelled loudly as Keat ing passed him, and fell in behind, waving a rusty pitchfork. On and on ran the trio. Another house sprung into view beside the road, and an aged tiller of the soil, wrinkled and seamed with the years that had fallen heavy upon him, am bled rheumatically out of the yard and joined the gaUop. Keating, after the first brief gain, could not lessen the distance between himself and the animal. From behind came the stentorian breathing of the last one to join the run, and the raspy whoops of the other, who was now just behind. Keating's cap blew off on" the wings of a breeze engendered by his fast sprint, and his heavy dark hair, usually worn slicked to his head, was now flying here and there. The four legged leader showed signs of weak ening. Keating did not stop for his cap. "You quit that," blared the rustic just behind, who seemed, despite the college records of his pacemaker, to be holding his own remarkably well. "You quit pesterin' that poor sheep!" Keating had no mind nor wind to enter into a controversy. He kept still. The shee? was wavering. It carried too much wool to keep up the sprint. The fishing-rod bobbed awk wardly behind. Another house loomed up ahead. The ewe dodged " madly through the gateway leading up to this, and as the youth put his remaining strength to a final Jump, fell panting on its side. With an exultant yell Keating dropped on his knees beside the wind ed animal, and made ready to extract the hook. The protested bleat of the sheep wa3 answered by an angry whoop from the road, and 1G5 pounds of farm er hurled Itso-lf through space and landed on the back of the unsuspect ing Keating. "You fool!" yelled the angry angler. "Get off. What the deuce do you mean?" "Pick on a poor sheep, will you?" rasped the other. "I'll learn you city fellers that property is to be respect ed." "Keating spent no time In argument. Uls fists found the face of the other. 4, w ) ) ? T ..J 9 S .- 1 r ViiT)? -t- ConsueUa E. BAKER Associated Literary Press and a beautiful battle was precipitated thereby. The fight was all In favor of the excited fisherman until the arrival of the long-whiskered one who had been distanced In the race. The third man jumped Into the battle with a raucous shout. His hands were as hard as boulders and a fluke blow from one of these deprived the fisher man of his senses. When Keating recovered conscious ness he found himself neatly trussed up, and two red and perspiring farm ers standing by and eyeing him with little favor. "You darned city bug," growled the younger. "What kind o' rowdyln' if that you are up to? Chasin' a poor defenseless critter until she falls down winded ! " "You're crazy," snarled Keating "Couldn't you see that she had my fishhook stuck in her silly wool?" "Fine thing for you to be doin'," added the other rustic. "Stickin' youi hook in other people's sheep-" "If other people's sheep would quit sticking their noses in my affairs they would not be hooked." "But you did hook her," came from the younger one. "Certainly I hooked her," snapped Keating. "And now tell me what you are going to do with me. Burn me at the stake?" An angry snort issued from the whiskers of the ancient. "We're going to hold you until Mrs. Griggs comes home." "And who, if I may ask, is Mrs. Griggs?" "She's the owner of that poor perse cuted lambie she's also the local rep resentative of the S. P. C. A.," an swered the youthful granger. "She'll fix you for hvipg been cruel to Con suella." "Conoueila!" cried Keating. "Do you mean to tell me that that old s'liecp is named Consuella." "Uh, huh, an' the more names you call her the herder it'll go with you." Keating, in the city, was Charles Keating, Esq., managing an agency for a well-known cash register con cern. He bore the respect of his fel lows. In his bonds before these country men, fuming and fretting, and with a perspiration running down his fore head, his dignity was conspicuously absent. The mind of the youth was on the austere Miss Decker, his fiancee. He mentally thanks fortune that this little misadventure was a thing of the country. Pad, pad; pad, pad! Keating, his back to the driveway, heard the approaching rig before it had come to a stop beside him. "What is this?" asked a chilly voice a woman's voice. "This man was a chasin' of Con suella," explained the farmer. "He had a fishhook in her wool, and his pele and line hangin' to it, and he was runnin' her to beat Time. We knew Hiram and I what store you set by that sheep, Mrs. Griggs, an' we kept him, thinkin as how you'd like to sick the law on him." A musical laugh rang out, and the marrow in the bones of the prisoner congealed ' as he heard it. He knew that laugh. "Turn him over," came in a soft contralto. "You don't care if I look upon the classic profile of your pris oner, do you, aunt?" Hiram's foot prodded the youth face about and a beet-red face it was!" The girl in the carriage broke into a hysterical scream. "Oh, aunt!" she gasped when she had recovered her breath. "This is too much. Your sheep chaser is Is my fiance." Following the orders of Mrs. Griggs Keating was speedily liberated. Ex planations followed. Mrs. Griggs laughed. Miss Marion Denton scream ed again. Keating, whose sense of humor would not spread to cover the situation, frowned ominously at the two embarrassed ones who were re sponsible for his predicament. With awkward apologies the two made a hasty departure. "That is the first time I ever saw you give indications of being real flesh and blood," growled Keating, townbound, and with the girl by his side. "Now that I find you something be sides a business automaton and a crea ture of conditions, like the rest of us, we may understand each other bet ter," laughed the girl. Too Many Hospitals. Medical advices from New Zealand indicate that that country is suffering from a plethora of hospitals. Every, town and every rural district In the colony has at least one, and they are supported partly by the government and partly by "subscribers," who give a little more than $5 apiece yearly. Every such subscriber within a ra:lius of seven miles of the hospital is entitled to free medical service for his entire family so long as the pa tient remains at home. This being the case, physicians complain that they have to compete with a service subsidized by the government One writer reports that In some towns the misuse of the hospitals has been so serious that medical men have L-ccn unable to obtain a living. It is not stated whether the hospital staff in a given community Is well able to care for the health of that community. There Is nothing prettier in a room than a bowl of gold fish. The bright colored, lively little creatures darting in and out of the green vegetation in the bowl makes a picture that one never tires of studying. But gold fish are delicate things and it is depress ing, when one has left them full of life and energy the previous night, to dis cover them dead in the morning. I find that many novices have trouble in the same direction and in some In stances have given up the attempt to keep fish in the bowl. So I decided to get expert information on the subject for the benefit of the readers of this column. "In the first place," said the expert, "don't mako the mistake that one woman did who came complaining to me today. I questioned her concern ing the food she had given the fish and found that she had fed them noth ing but bread. That i3 a sure way to kill the fish, for the bread contains yeast and this sours the water and It would be necessary to change It every half hour or so, to keep the fish alive. "If you will watch a fish that is fed with bread you will see him eat it for a little time, but as the bread gets sour from the action of the water he will take it In his mouth and cough it out very quickly. Common sense ought to teach one that when the fish spits out the bread it Is not the right food for him. Oatmeal makes good fish food, but the prepared food make especially for the purpose Is the best thing to feed them with. "Don't overfeed the fish. They don't require a lot of food. Give them enough to have a good bite or two all around, but don't keep the fish food floating all the time on the surface of the water. It fouls the water and the fish will overfeed themselves and probably die. "When you see the fish seeking the top it is a sure sign that the water is getting stale and should be changed. The fish will naturally stay near the bottom and as long as the water has sufficient oxygen for their needs they will swim around in any part of the bowl. But when the oxygen is getting low and the water used up you will see the fish crowd to the top and be gin to gasp. When they do this, thrust ing their heads half out of the water and gulping in the air you will know that they need fresh water, and if you do not give it to them quickly yom will find your fish floating at the top, dead. "Don't keep the fish bowl in a dark corner. The fish require sunlight, and if they are given plenty of light and air, the water will not need to be changed so frequently. Remember that the fish are accustomed in their na tive habitat to sunlight and air all around them. From this, they are taken and confined in a small bowl, and this bowl is kept in a close room, into which the sun seldom or never penetrates, and the consequence is the oxygen in the water is used up rap idly and the fish die for want of air." Chicago Inter Ocean. To the Needleworker. It is said that hemstitching is going to ba used extensively as a finish for waists and gowns. This will be wel come news to the woman who likes the clever effect made by a row of even, open stitches. The hemstitched edge will be used chiefly on chiffon garments. Save every scrap of trimming, for even a tiny piece may be exactly the finish for some garment when you are in sore need. Save all pieces of linen and silk, for-most of them may be used in some way, either as fancy work or trimming. Have a scrap box always ready for them. New Colors. Apropos of new colors, some of our aiost fashionable women are combin ing purple and prune silk coats with ifternoon dresses of gray, dahlia and green; one combination which a Parisian house has just devised con jists of a purple coat actually seen, really is lovely, though to .read the iescription It is very likely to seem parish. Similar silk coats in rich brown or deep green, which fit loose ly about the form, are now regarded is the elegant thing for the smart matrons to wear at wedding and for mal afternoon receptions, Harper's Dazar. HOW TO CLEAN WHITE SHOES Comparatively Simple Matter to Re store Footwear to Original Per fect Whiteness. Many a girl discards her whit, shoes when they are "good and dirty," without knowing that a little effort will restore them to their pristine purity. The first requirement for complete, restoration i3 not to get the white shoes too soiled, for they never look so well as when they are taken in hand before the discoloration becomes too deep. After wearing canvas shoes they should be given a good brushing with a stiff brush, the le edges and heels freed from mud t,$rt, washed off with plain water. But do not let thci water get on the canvas, for this will only serve to fasten the soil the tight-i er. For whitening the canvas therei are many bottled liquids in the mar-j ket, Chinese white being a favorite; and the most efficacious one. A home-i made whitener which is just as good! if put together according to the formu-j la is made of half an ounce of gum arable dissolved in 40 ounces of water; to this add an ounce of white vinegar and 20 ounces of powdered chalk.; Shake the bottle well before using,, and put the white on with a brush,j going over the shoes with a second; coat after the first one has driedln,; if they seem to need it. Where it is desired to match a shoe! to the dross tint, old white canvas ties! or satin slippers may easily bc; changed to any color wanted by add ing a little dye to the gum arabic wa ter and vinegar instead of the chalk. With any of the bottled liquids they' may also be made tan or black. AMD NOW COMES THE JI3BAH If You Don't Know What It Is, Readl the Following Description of Garment. My friends admire my jibbah. It is much nrattier and more craceful than ! an ordinary kimono, and It takes only. half a day to make one. The material should be at least 44 inches wide. There Is absolutely no waste In cut ting, except the circle or square at the neck. The length of the sleeve must be determined according to the figure. When that is done the dis tance from underarm to bottom, b, d, is bisected at c, and the triangular portion, a, b, c, which Is cut out, Is turned right around to form the gore, d, c. e. If the gown Is made of fig ured material, a yoke of plain goods would be pretty. If the jibbah is of plain cloth the yoke may be beauti fully embroidered, making a pretty and becoming house gown. Good Housekeeping Magazine. Turnback Cuffs Popular. With the white shirt waist and white duck linen skirt pure white neckwear is the rule or pure white combined with some delicate tlnt. Some of the hand-ei sTiidered Dutch collars have inserts of pale blue, pink or lavender linen on which are worked flowers, sprays or dots in white with very dainty effect. Turnback cuffs are so smart this season that some women, taking ad vantage of special sales of the turn over Irish collars, buy up two or three In matching patterns and, cutting away the stiff linen back, make cuffs off the strip of Irish crochet, which can be obtained more reasonably this way than by the yard, as these collars are made up in great quantities and the real Irish patterns imitated very closely. New Ornamentation. If something new be your aim In matter of the ornamentation of a blouse, drawn work 13 suggested by some of the most successful makers as an effective relief from the peren nial insertion or embroidery. The coarse meshes so much In use this sea son offer stability and an unusual coolness to which characteristics is added the easy "drawing" quality. When marquisette or voile Is drawn and worked with coarse linen thread in some of the simpler drawn-work patterns the decorative value Is won derfully increased. Squares, lines and pointed plastrons are attainable, and when the whole blouse is built over a contrasting color to bring it into har mony with the skirt thsv result is de cidedly successful. nyon-s &rr? r Wi,ch Mflzel jl is more soothing than Cold Cream ; more healing than any lotion, liniment or salve; more beautifying than any cosmetic.
