Way out whsra tho wind is hla-h,
Whore tin lusty west wind always blows,
You will see him loping by.
And just when the dusk and th darkness
meet,
You will bear blot complain from afar,
As he cries his woes, wltb uplifted boss,
To the points of a lonely star.
A shadow that slinks through the prairie
ausa
Till he knows a herd la near -
Then breasts the strong old west wind's
song
To the aide of a "locoed" steer.
And there bis greedy watch he keeps.
With m ftrln llett In hie eee.
While the water drips from bin tbla gray

Till the steer Ilea down and dies.
A rasshond thief In a tattered coat,

For the roTlng thoughts he bring. ,
For he belongs where the world Is wide

And your blood comes strong aa you lope
On the "Happy Jack TmiraloM.

' And you "kick" all day In a cheery way

LOST FOREVER.
By CLARA BELL.
A flood of light streamed from the
doors and .windows of a fine old manor
house' that fronted the sea, making a
luminous path for Itself through the
darkness of the night Rocks and
cliffs were thrown into bold relief by
the broad glare, and around them
gulls, frightened from their nests by
an unwonted light, circled with shrill
cries. Beyond, a vessel stood up, tall
and ghostly, against the dark sky.
Tonight the Hlltons of Hilton Man
or, gve a ball. A naval vessel was
anchored in the harbor near by, and
tha officers had been Invited to attend
tha ball. Through the open windows
floated tbe sound of music, mingled
with the tread of dancing feet and the
ring of gay voices; but the merriment
found only dffiugBed the -gloom on
HenrWJmaen's face, as ho leaned, In
the moonlight, over the ralllrj of the
veranda.
' VWhat shall I do?" he said. "It is
so difficult to choose," and he looked
" at the ghostly ship, on which he was
to sail tomorrow morning.
Then be fell to pacing up and down,
: restlessly.
" Once he paused opposite an open
window, and his eyes flashed as they
fell on a group near him. Yet the
light of Alice Hilton's pale, delicate
face might have softened him. He
only saw, through his jealous eyes, tho
' crowd of young men around her, the
looks of admiration directed toward
her heard only her dear, sweet laugh,
and watched how she cplored at some
thing spoken almost In a whisper.
"Fools!" he muttered, "to worship
that Insignificant , face. There) are a
doicn handsomer women In tha room."

mer. It smote him to the heart to see
how her face fell to catch the sudden
gleam of tears in her eyes; but he
hardened himself and said a few In
different words about a happy meet
ing three years hence, when his ship
would have returned, and as he ended
he held out his hand with a smile.
"Good-by," he said.
"Oood-by," ahe answered simply, and
he placed her hand In his.
For a moment It lay there, then
lipped out She turned away, as he
did, when he looked she was waltzing
with Charlie Brand.
navwa awss, a uwuu la. aUVJ IV w-f) IU7,
he said, to lessen bis self-contempt
he did not note her white face or
forced mirth did not see her after
ward, in her own room, she crouched
down on the floor, hiding her face in
her hands, crying out that she was
very tired and wanted to die.
The ship Albatross sailed next day.
One person watched It till the white
alls bore It out of sight, one who
wrung her hands, when it was gone,
with a low, heartbroken cry, and after
ward rose and went awaj with a
shadow resting thenceforth on her
young life. ,
Through stormy seas the great ship
ailed safely1 to her distant port, and
one on board bora ever with him the
memory of a fair face framed in by
dark brown hair; and lighted by ten
der, fathomless brown eyes.
At Smyrna be fell grievously Ill
struck dowm by a-mallgaant fever. -
In the weary night watohs thoughts
long banished would come crowding
on him. Alone tn a foreign land, with
no on to care whether he lived of
died,, no ministering bat such as.
chance stranger hands might render,
ie was haunted day and night by a
memory. Often he fancied he beard a
light tread beside him and felt a cool,
gentle hand laid on bis burning brow,
or heard soft voice singing old songs
ha had sung to him once. How long
ago It seemed ! . -. v :'Z r..ii .
And when ha xrew better and could
walk again, o sweet Syrian nights,

! happened that though bound. , to
another port, the vessel touched on its
way at the harbtir near Hilton ,Maoor
thus giving Henry Linden the oppor
tunity he desired.
One bright autumn morning he
started to walk to the Manor.
At he neared tha house It startled
him a little to see no sign of lire about
it no smoke curling from tha tall
chimneys.
Tbe great hall door stood open, hd
near it, sunning himself In the veran
da, sat the old steward.
The family had gone abroad, the old
man said, and the house was shut up.
.' Where were they? He could not
rightly tell; those outlandish foreign
names never stuck in his memory. They
would not be back for a long time,
that he knew. They were all well by
last accounts.
Henry Linden turned away bitterly
dlsappqlnted. He had been so sure of
meeting Alice, and explaining every,
thing. " 5 ,;
But It was some comfort to wander
over the ground,' trodden once with
her, alive with memories of her. '
He came, at last, to the pretty little
church, nestling among drooping wil
lows, and softly unfastening the latch,
he entered the churchyard. How well
he remembered the spot! He could
look so clearly into that evening when
Alice had brought him there.'
The sun had set, but the sky was
beautiful with those soft tints that
linger after day Is gone faint violet
and salmon and gold; and in that dim
light her face looked wonderfully fair
and pure.
He was standing now just where he
had stood then, beside the white mar
ble cross that marked her mother's
grave, and he thought how he had
spoken with a shiver, of death.
'I have never been afraid to die,"
she had answered, softly; "perhaps be
cause an early death has ever been
present to my mind.
How the memory of her words
turned him cold with an undefined
dread!
A cluster of scarlet flowers grew
close against the base of the white
cross.
He stooped to gather them, and as
he swept them aside, his eyes fell upon
a name carved on the smooth base a
name not there before.
It read:

"DECOY" DOGS CATCH DUCKS.
Strange "Sport" of Luring Birds Into
Trenches Dug in the Bank. j
Tiie cleverest of all domestic ani
mals except the elephant," Is what the
London Spectator calls the decoy dog. ;
This highly trained pet Is taught to '
lead wild ducks into a fair way to be ,
roasted. He appears on the bank of j
a lake where the ducks are feeding, at- j
iracu ineir auenuun oy perionning
strsnge antics, and gradually leads
them to slaughter. Ducks are utter
ly a prey to curiosity when a decoy
dog Is about.
Duck ponds where decoy dogs may
be "worked" are becoming fashionable
again In England. At one time only a
few survived 44 In tbe entire kingdom.
More are now being prepared, largely
by a family named Skelton, who are
expert decoy makers. The decoy
owned by E. O. Pretyman, M. P.,
yields 3000 ducks a year from a pond
of less than three acres. A screened
summer-house Is erected above each
of the four "pines," or duck traps, so
iemselyes unseen,
n of
ir?s. -stflst
haveTl-vjere-sw ducks
are not?italn -issetifuse on the
pool when they arecaught.
On the Inner side of the curve at
the mouth a flattened step Is made, to
entice the ducks to sleep there, other
parts of the bank of the pond being up
right, so that the birds shall "loiter"
near tbe pipes. On tbe opposite side
are the screens of reeds behind which
the decoy-man works, and where the
visitor can also watch the sport.
The screen is prolonged beyond the
pipe along the bank to a point where
the man can see down tbe curve. This
place Is called the "head show," be
cause when the ducks are far enough
up the decoy-man runs round by a back
path and suddenly shows himself at
the head of the pipe to tbe birds which
have passed up. The high screen pre
vents the other birds seeing him as
he drives the first troop up to where
the wire, netting trap is prepared to
secure them.
All this In a country where It Is not
considered sportsmanlike to shoot a
fox!

About Flat-lrona.
In using flat-irons, if they are rub
bed on a piece of brown paper covered
with soap, and then a sprinkle of salt
tbey will be fotihd to run easier and
stick. ' -
To Whiten the Hands.
To make the hands white, take a
tnblespoonful ot scraped horseradish
and pour on it halt a pint ot hot
milk. Use It shortly before washing,
sllolngi It to dry on the hands.
i A Chamola Hint
Chamois is one of the few things
which come out smooth and soft from
washing it wrung directly from the
soapsuds without -rinsing in clear wat
er. The latter process tends to harden
It.
When Boiling Eggs
Avoid tbe. dark circle around the
yolks of hardbolled eggs by putting
(hem to cook In, cold water and allow
ing them to boil slowly fifteen to twen
ty minutes after the water comes to
the boiling point.
A New Pillow Cover.
A length of cretonne laid over tho
pillows is one woman's solution of
day bed dressing In these days when
fashion has declared pillow shams
quite passo. Of course, a spread of
cretonne to match goes without say
ing. Furniture Coverings.
No one can really admire the plain
brown holland a'.lp coverings with
which furniture is shrouded In sum
mer. Chintzes and flowered linen taf
fetas make better coverings, and they
have the advantage of toning with the
general color scheme of the rooms.
Many of the. new chintzes are exact
reproductions of old English designs.
Others are In conventionalised designs
to pleaoo the taste of those who do nof
udmire flowered nurfaces.
Proper Way to Iron Fine Linen,
The doing up of fine underllnen la
for more important In theso days than
ironing a shirt, and a good living
awalla the woman who cares to learn
this art nnd practice it in the cities.
When thtsc articles are washed and
dried, the ruffles and trimming should
lie dipped into weak starch, and rolled
down tightly, keeping all starched and
line portlous inside. Iron In about an
hour. First of all. Iron the sleeves,
(lieu the nifties at the bottom, then the
back, and flunlly all the ruffles and
trimming and the front.
With skirts, tho ruffles first, and
than tho body part. Any crimping or
fluting must be done last of all, after
nl'shtly damping the riffles over again.
When ironing circular ruffles always
lion "with tho thread" of the goods!
ond the ruffle, will not sag. For white
skirts and for dresses a skirt board;
is a necessity; It should be about lfj
n, ih. hnitam and narrow I
dnn-n" Inward the tin to abOUt nine
inrhea. and should be about Ave or Uveal
and one-half feet in length. It Is much
better to purchase the folding skirt
boards, being less expensive that hav
ing a carpenter make one. Cover wJth

ROLLING ROAD FOR H0R8K8.
A Novelty In Transportation Recently
Put In Service In Cleveland.
A novelty in tbe war of transporta
tion has been tecently put In service
at Cleveland. . In that city most ot
the freight houses, coal yards, lum
ber yards, and many manufacturing
(tlanti are located in the flats along
the Cuyahoga River, while the city
at large Is on level 65 feet higher.
A vast amount of teaming la done
from the flats, wagons following a
roundabout course up the various
hills, and carrying much lighter loads
than the same horses could' easily
pull on the level..
It requires thirty minutes to an hour
to make t'ae climb, the strain on
horses and wear and tear on vehi
cles and equipment being excessive,
A rolling road was designed by CoL
Isooc D. Smead, of Cincinnati, to ob
viate this. It Is probably the first of
its kind In the world, and was built
at a cost, exclusive ot preliminary
models and designs, in the neighbor
hood ot 1100,000.
The rolling road is located on tho
shortest and most direct line from the
flats, with a rise of 05 feet in 420
feet. It consists of an endless belt
and platform made bt planks eight
feet long placed transversely of tie
roadway and bound with angle Irons.
They are securely fastened together
In trucks of two planks etch, adjoin
ing trucks being connected by heavy
links to form the continuous road
way. The roadway runs on some' four
thousand Bmall wheels in which, to
reduce friction and wear, a special
type of Hyatt roller bearing was suc
cessfully Introduced. At the upper
end the roadway revolves sround an
immense sheave, the returning belt
running .underneath (and wrong side
up) on idlers to a similar sheave at
the lower end.
Loaded wagons drive on the road
way at the foot of the hill, the wheels
being .securely clamped to prevent
backward sliding. After a signal has
been given to the.operator In the con
troller house at the top, the road Is
started, horses and wagon remaining
stationary on it till the top Is reached.
At the, summit the roadway again
slows down, and the wagons drive off.
The unconcern with which horses
mr.ke the trip is surprising. They
are seldom alarmed even for the
first time, and after two or three rides
tike it quite as a matter of course.
The rolling road attains a maximum
sneed of three miles per bour, and is
driven by four electric motors placed
at regular Intervals along it length,
the belt Is endless and can betaoln
operated by a single controller. As
the belt Is endless and can be
at any point (and as frequently as
desired) several wagons can be han
dled at once; Indeed, It is somewhat
In the nature ot a "continuous per
formance," one driving on at the bot
tom at the same time one goes off
at Che top, others standing mean

Saratoga June 37. The very name,
"Saratoga," brings to every mind,
health-giving springs, unsurpassed ho
tels and beautiful drives. It haa been
for many years the Mecca for all who
admire nature, enjoy good living, and
are searching for health, or are simply
taking a vacation.
The Grand Union, the largest sum
mer hotel In the United States, set
among green tree wltb Its long wings
enclosing a court with fountains and
flowers, grass and trees, music and
light, Is throughout the season thronged
with guests. With the progressive
spirit always shown by its manage
ment, -the Grand Union Las again add
ed to Its attractiveness by introduc
ing acetylene gas to mako still more
brlillnnt tbe evening hours. Tbe genial
proprietors believe In furnishing tbelr
guests with the best of everything,
and now, after Investigating and find
ing that Artlflclnl Sunlight cau be had,
4bey have, installed a complete acety
lene gas plant to produce it, nnd have
connected upwards of six thousand
Acetylene burlicrs lu and about the
plaut. .
Like many discoveries of recent
years, which are coming into popular
fnror, acetylene, one of the most re
cent, is very simply produced. It is
adapted for use wherever artificial
light Is needed nud tbe necessary ap
paratus can be understood and oper
ated by any one.
The generator In which Acetylene
Is produced by tbe automatic contact
of carbide and water might be termed
n gas plant, as it performs all of the
functions of n city gas plaut. The
acetylene generator cau be purchased
for a few dollnrs and in any size, from
one adapted to furnish acetylene to
ten or a dozen burners for a cottage,
up to the large but still simple ma
chine such as Is now furnishing Acet
ylene for six thousand burners in the
Grand Union.
Outside of large cities the use of
Acetylene Is quite common. Tho own
er of the country homo uow demands
running water, gns and other conveni
ences which a few years ago were con
sidered as luxuries, and acetylene gas
has met bis requirements, and gives
blm a better and cheaper light than Is
ordinarily furnished In cities.
It is well known that rooms lighted
with Acetylene are more comfortable,
because cooler, and more healthful be
cause tbe air Is not vitiated.
A Monentary Problem.
A man In Chicago has 500 cents
which he can't spend, can't sell, can't
melt up, can't give away, and which
he can't even keep. At least if 'he
does any of these things he Is break
ing the law, and he hasn't figured out
the answor yet. He is proprietor Of
a number of penny-ln-the-slot ma
chines, and the 500 pennies are the
mutilated coin that the machines
have accepted in six months without
bis consent. He can't sell them for
junk copper, because they are bad
money; he can't pass them off as pen
nies for the reason that they are bad
pennies and might cause lilm to pass
some time In Jail, and If he keeps
them he Is liable for carrying bad
money. Technically, the owner of the
pennies violates the law whatever he
does with them. Kaasas City Jour

At the blennlnl convention of the
Order of Rnllway Conductors, recently
held at Portland, Oregon, resolutions
were unanimously n-lopted voicing
their sentiments as to tbe effect of pro
posed railway rate leRislntlon on (lie
1,300.000 railroad employes, whom they
iu part represented. These resolutions
"indorse the attitude of President
Roosevelt in condemiiini; secreCrebnies
and other illegalities, and commend (lie
attitude of the beads of American rail
ways, who, with practical unanimity,
have Joined with the President on this
question." Tbey then respectfully
point out to Congress the "inadvlsnbil
ity of legislation vesting in the hands
of a commission power over railway
rates, now lower by far in the United
Slates than in any other country," be
cause such regulation would "result in
litigation and confusion and Inevltnbly
tend to an enforced reduction In rates,
Irrespective of the quesrlon of the Abil
ity of the rnlironds to itand the reduc
tion, especially In view of the increased
cost of their supplies and nintorlnls."
They further protested against such
power being given to the present Inter
state Commission bec.iiiBe "the pro
posed legislation Is not In harmony
with our idea of American juris
prudence, Inasmuch as It contemplates
that a single body shall have tbe right
to investigate, Indict, try, condemn and
then enforce Its decisions at the. cost
of the carriers, pending appeal, which
is manifestly Inequitable." .
Tbe conductors base Yhelr demand
for. only such legislation, if any, as
would "secure and Insure justice and
equity and preserve equal rights to all
parties contented" on tbe ground that
the low cost of transportation "Is the
result of the efficiency of American
railway management aud operation
which have built nu the country,
through constant Improvement and de
velopment of territory, while at the
same time recognition has been given
to the value of Intelligence a'mong em
ployes In contrast to -foreign methods,
where 'high freight rfftes and lowest
cages to employes obtain."
In pressing their claim against legis
lation adverse to their interests, thej
point out tbe fact that "tbe freight
ratesjf this country avernge only two
per cent, of the cost of articles to the
consumer, thus malting tbe freight rate
so insignificant II factor In the selling
price that numerous standard articles
are sold at (lie same price in all parts
of the country."

'Backache,
Both Symptoms of
Women Thousands
now often do we bear women say: "It
seems as though my back would break,"
or "Don't speak to me, I am all out of
sorts?" These significant remarks prove
that the system requires attention. .
Backache and " the blues" are direct
symptoms of an inward trouble which
will sooner or later declare Itself. It
may be caused by diseased kidneys or
some uterine derangement. Nature
requires assistance and at once, and
Lydia E. Plnkhom's Vegetable Com
pound instantly asserts its curative
powers in all those peculiar ailments of
women. It has been the standby of
intelligent American women for twenty
years, nnd the ablest specialists agree
that it is the most universally success
ful remedy for woman's ills known to
medicine.
The following letters from Mrs.
Holmes and Mrs. Cotrely are among
the many thousands which Mrs. Pink
ham has received this year from those
whom she has relieved.
Surely such testimony is convincing.
Mrs. J.G. Holmes, of LarimOre, North
Dakota, writes:
Dear Mrs. Plnkham:
" I have suffered everything with backache
and womb trouble I let the trouble run on
until my system was in such a condition that
I was unable to be about, and then it was I
commenced to use Lydia B. Pinkham'a Vege
table Compound. If I had only known how
much suffering I would have saved, I should
have taken if months sooner for a few
woeks' treatment made me well and strong.
My backaches and heouachesare all gone and
I suffer no pain at my menstrual periods,
whereas before I took I.ydla H. Pinkham'a
Vegetable Compound I suffered intense pain ."
