FNLAND and the FLNNS A FINNISH HORSELOAD THE MARKET PLACE, HILLSINGTON VOL. 29. NO. 1. FINL THE MARKET THE MILL, ROSELS, KILLING BEST WISHES poetic designation of their beloved country most cherished by the people of Finland. Mountain ranges and forest stretches—bold and verdant are interspersed with valley waterways and fragrant meadowlands. In summertime the foam and spray of rushing torrents hang sparkling dewdrops on the golden pine-needles whilst the vaporous mists of the marshlands wave fairy rainbows among the russet fruit of birch and hazel. The greenest of green moss and the most tender gray stone-wort spread softest carpets for the foot as with the hand are plucked the sweetest wild flowers. "The Thousand Lakes" of Finland, placid in the sun- shine but whipped to fury by autumn storms, resemble clusters of precious gems cast by beneficent ditties upon the bosom of Nature. The eye delights in the serenity of the panorama till the ear catches the impressive thunder of the catracts and waterfalls. A river-lake-land trip is an experience at once novel and thrilling. Light boats, too frail they look, push off boldly into the rapids, manned by sturdy young fellows in red shirt tails, slouched felt hats and leather cuffs, on the thigh, singles snatches of plain-folk foliage, on their craft clear rock and boulder daringly. The long wooden paddle thrown out behind and along those showers of crystal water over the travel. Grass-kerchiefed women and bare-legged children toes cheery welcome all along the course whilst the craft boatmen take vigorous pulls at the ubiquitous cigarettes. shine but whipped to fury by a semble clusters of precious gem cedilies upon the bosom of delights in the serenity of the matches the impressive the racts at the oceans. A river an experience at the oceans boats too frail they look, put the rapids, manned by bred red dandelion shirts, slouched for boots far up the thigh, singing tive folk-lore as their craft cler daringly. The long wood out behind and the supple oak crystal water over the traveler Winter brings about a marvelous transformation. True, the rude storms expend their fury upon the rock-bound coast but the deadly blizzard tears away Nature's beauty spots. When the "Lady of the Snows" has spread her glittering mantle far and wide peace, white and lasting, reigns everywhere. Ice crystals depend from every bough and cave and frost diamonds sprinkle on the ground. Above all and everything the great horizon is flashed with the dazzling Northern Lights giving promise of life and beauty. Spring, which saw vegetation leap like magic out of the melting snows, is swiftly followed by brief and brilliant summer, and autumn comes on apace, ready, so it seems, to be devoured by the greedy frost king. Seed time and harvest hold each other by the hand to resist the grip of ice. Forest work ceases, and, the short day of winter over, old and young assemble in the homestead's long common room and together weave and spin, and read and smoke, and dance and sing. Certainly by sledge and skid and skate distances are covered, and happy school children glide hither and thither, sometimes scurrying home for fear of wolves. The Finns came originally from the Altai mountains. They took possession of the "Land of Many Waters" away in the seventh century. The language spoken by the country people has its origin; it is an unique tongue, soft and sonorous. The modern Italian. The people of the eastern provinces, touching Russia, exhibit the Mongolian type, with high cheek bones and narrow eyes. The inhabitants of the western province are mostly of Swedish origin and speak the Swedish language. The word "Flim" means wizard. Among their many superstitions is the tradition that a triumph of spirits presides over their destiny—"Ukko" the spirit of the air; "Tapo," the spirit of the forest, and "Abte," the spirit of the lakes.

Recent events have nish liberties, but like the abide and sing; mountain-ash is sacred, its ashes, after burning, are carefully preserved, for when sprinkled on the ground they desyre luck or the reverse in wooing. The land tenure and land service in Finland present many interesting features. The more salient points are actual survivals of federal times. The class of peasant which may be called "laborer-farmers" consists of men who receive no wages, they occupy buildings belonging to the landowner, which they are required to keep in repair. The land-owners make grants of seed and other necessaries, and of certain lands which the laborer-farmers cultivate for their own benefit. They have free access to the forest for fuel and for lumber for repairs. In return they are obliged to work for the land-owner with their own families and horses. On holdings, where there is clay, the laborer-farmers are allowed to make bricks and to earn what they can by sales, and much per cent on their gains to their landowner. Many laborer-farmers are quite well off, and, whilst they retain their status as peasants, their sons and daughters are sent to excellent schools and enter government and commercial employments. This class of men must not, however, be confounded with the "free" peasantry. The latter, although generally poorer, have superior civil rights and form an estate of the realm with direct representation in the Finnish parliament. Finland was first occupied by the Russians in 1809. Alexander I. granted the inhabitants and occupants the land and the institutions. Recent events have greatly curried Finnish liberties, but like the patrols the Finnish abide and sing: "Land of a Thousand Lakes, Where faith and life are ours, Past wrongs inspire our power.

A popular observance is to arrange inverted saucers on the festive board—one for each guest—under which are placed objects bearing significant meanings. Each person in turn raises a saucer. May he it has covered a piece of red ribbon—that presages a wound or some bodily injury; or a coin, riches; or a key, for a girl the token of her direction within a twelve-month of some household, for a boy the entrance on a commercial career; or a piece of fuel, which fortells death; or a ring for matrimony, and so forth. The "Christmas Buck" visits every home in France. He is old man with long hair and beard and is dead in jail. He drives his team of reindeer over mountains and frozen lakes and enters unannounced each doorway. He makes a circuit of the family; and inquires whether the children have been good or bad. Before leaving he throws down skirts for all. At Twelfth Night the "Star Days" make their appearance. They are five young men in fancy dress. Three represent the Three Holy Kings of the Epiphany, one is King Herod, and the last a goat with hoofs and horns. They enact a legendary play which has for its theme the death of the king, and that he takes the door. Wherever they go they "shine" at door people who have no Christmas cheer. After the gayeties of Christmas two months elapse during which one is able to restore one's digestive organs, and then comes Lent. A distinctive Lenten diet is blinnes and caviar; the former the large thick pancakes which are eaten with butter, sour cream and fruit juice. At mid-Lent a fresh water fish is much esteemed—lake it is called. It is caught in nets sunk through holes in the ice of rivers and lakes. It is boiled in milk. On Easter Eve everybody eats hard boiled eggs. The first of May is an ancient festival of general observance, especially by students and youths. They meet in the public parks of Helsingfors, the capital, and in country markets, and there sing old folk-songs to the spirit of spring. Then they drink deeply of sweet mead and consume vast quantities of struvron—rich puff-paste tarts—and then they dance and firt with buxom mademoisons to their hearts' content. Midsummer day is of universal observance and there are placed all the house doors and twigs of birch are stuck all over every room. The sun sets in the eve at eleven o'clock, and rises in the day at two. During those three brief hours the young people kindle big fires. All are bent on dancing and above the blazing embers. They call the fires kokko "love's flame." Rye harvest is a very important season. On the first day the laborer-farmers, with their wives and families, foregather at the mansion of the land-owner. They are divided into squads—one man, two women and three children. To each squad is assigned a certain area wherein the man cuts the crop, the women shock and the children glean. They work from four in the morning until eight at night, with intervals for breakfast and dinner. These meals, together with the harvest, are the food of the day in every trial in every sense. They are provided gratis by the land-owner and are eaten at long tables placed in front of the mansion, where the land-owner and his family serve. After supper all join in singing the plaintive national song, kalewala, and then a happy time is passed with games and dances. The rye crop, which provides the Finns with their staff of life, does not dry in ordinary seasons in the fields. It is consequently carried to the rias, or barns, and laid on racks and rafters. Fires are kindled in each corner and the smoke permeates the crop, imparting a much-loved and peculiar flavor. The country people's diet consists chiefly of talkumma, a sort of porridge made of rye. This is carried, when well set, in birch bark knapsacks. It is also baked hard and hung in great round, thin cakes, with holes in the center, from the ceilings of the houses. Their warmth is perfected by a special perfection. Corn-rye brandy is a liquor much esteemed by all classes and sometimes indulged in to excess. The greatest refreshment of the Finnis is the bath; every homestead has a bath-house. It is their unfailing remedy in sickness. "If bath and brandy fall" they say, "then comes death." In the bath-houses are stone ovens wherein wood fires are kindled and every orifice is closed. After the fire has burnt itself out buckets of water or shovelvils of snow are dashed upon the embers and red hot stones. Dense clouds of steam arise and into them the bathers plunge. The whole body is switched with birch rods, and then follow thorough massage and rubbing down with soap. As the bather quits the bath-house squings of cold water or snow are administered, sometimes a header into deep snow is preferred! Benches in the open air, and then they resume clothes. During harvest time such baths in common are taken every evening after work is done; in winter the Saturday night tub suffices. Few spectacles can be more weird and astounding for the traveler than, when driving to night quarters, he suddenly comes upon the family at bath INDIA IS DESCRIBED Writer Gives Graphic Description of Country. Many Houses Have Never Been Entered by a European and Never Will Be—Women Are Always Closely Veiled. Bombay, India—Reviewing J. A. Spender's book, "The Indian Scene," the London Spectator says: To those who have not seen India the descriptive chapters of "The Indian Scene" will be of very great interest. Mr. Spender is content to describe what he saw in the simplest way, and by this means gives the reader a strong sense of the reality of what he is told. Nowhere is this done with more completeness than in the opening chapter on Bombay. What strikes him is not the place so much as the people. Every street swarms them, and "no half dawn seem alike." Their color varies from white to very nearly black, their costume "from the frock coat to the loin cloth." Then there is the contrast between life and death, between the rich Parsee living in his pretentious stone built house on the seashore, and the same man carried, as soon as he has closed his eyes, to the towers of silence, with their "obscene semicircles of vultures sitting huddled together on the rims of the two pits waiting for their next meal." And then there is the fact—more separating races perhaps than any other feature of Indian life—that into the vast majority of houses which "to all outward seem might be the homes of European nouvenux riches." no European has ever entered or ever will enter. He must not see the women who live in them. When a shattered or curtained ceiling is the first time in the street, he is told inside, and that is his nearest approach to knowledge of one half of Indian life. When he leaves Bombay Mr. Spender, does his best to answer the simple question. What does India look like? Somewhat north of Baroda he opens the shutters of his sleeping carriage and at first sees nothing to tell A Primitive Substitute for the Water Cart. Native Method of Watering a Road. him that he is not in Europe. The country is flat, it has many trees, it is cut up into small fields and very closely cultivated. It is the human element and the animal element that make it unlike Europe—the women "switched in crimson muslin," the children "either naked or fantastically dressed up, the thin walnut colored men, with white turbans and bare legs, the big loose limb donkeys who pass in a kind of ambling gallop," the humpbacked cattle, "mild miniature beasts, the straight-backed lead colored buffaloes. Then comes a railway station and a fresh "riot of color and fancy." Opposite the carriage stands a venerable gentleman in bright green flowered silk dressing gown, with a pink turban and white palazans; near him a pair of orange cotton," a tiny child "with embroidered coat and absurd little buff trousers ending in red shoes," and an old man who crowns a gray frock coat with a crimson turban, and wraps his legs in "a careless swathe of white muslin." Mr. Spender's train was delayed for ten minutes because a party of ladies has to be got out. An immense sheet was held in front of their carriage, in which they were somehow enwrapped, and the group was left "standing like a great, white box in the middle of the platform." 12 RICH WOMEN ON A JURY Court Officer in Kannas Makes Up An Odd Order in the Disorder of Die- order, conduct.

Greenfield, Conn.—The Globe presents here with a picture of the new tower just completed on Poets Seat, Greenfield. It is built of local sandstone and commands a beautiful view up and down the Connecticut Valley of the Shelburne Hills on the west and other ranges of hills to the east. On a clear day a view of 40 miles can be obtained. The cost of the tower is something more than $2,000. Of this the town appropriated $1,500; several hundred dollars was secured by the Board of Towns of Greenfield. The plans were drawn by Jerome Allen, a native of Greenfield but now New Poet's Seat Tower at Greenfield. a New York architect, and were given to the town by Mr. Allen without financial compensation. The builder was Peter Barber. The tower is 41 feet and 3 inches high from grade to the top platform, with a stone parapet four feet high and corner pinnacles eight feet high. The walls are 18 inches thick, with a thickness of 10 inches of the tower, thus increasing the thickness of the walls at the bottom. There are three reinforced concrete platforms. The stairs from the ground to the second platform are made of reinforced concrete with landings at each turn. The upper flight to the top, or observation platform, is a circular iron staircase place in a corner, to give the maximum platform on the second and third platform. All stairs are about three feet wide. All railings are four feet high. Those in the triple arches on the second platform are of stone, while those in the other openings are of iron. The stair railings are also of iron. TAKES NAP IN WRONG HOUSE Bowlderified Intruder is Arrested After Alarming Owner Building Cincinnati. Cincinnati, Ohio.—It was six o'clock in the morning, when Police Operator Abel received a telephone call from a woman living in the fat building at the northeast corner of York and Freeman avenues. She was very much excited and declared that a burglar was in the place. One minute after Lieutenant Couver sent Knapp, Fifth district station house keeper to the place, and three officers, fifty-four years old, the trouble was in the hands of the police. The alarm resulted when Sam Bebow, fifty-four years old, who says his home is at the Kings Mills hotel at Kings Mills, Ohio, wandered into the place some time in the night. There is a heating stove in the hall and Sam curled up behind the stove and took a nap. The place looked just like his home, he said. When he woke up he was bewildered and in order to get his bearings he rapped on the various doors he encountered. When the occupants of the rooms peeled through a crack in the wall, a saw the invader they were frightened. The next step was to call for the police. Sam says his mind is a blank as to his involuntary visit. WOLVES EAT FOUR PERSONS Packes of Famished Animals, Driven From Montana, Terrorize Low Country Lisbon, Portugal—Famished wolves devoured four persons in the neighborhood of a village in the Province of Beira. Large packs of the starving animals have come down from the gorges of the Sierra da Estrella, whence they have been driven owing to the deep snows, and they are terrorizing the low country. They attack lonely farms at night, and persons traveling alone along the roads are in constant danger. A great hunt was organized by the country inhabitants in the Province of Beira. More than 200 men participated, and they succeeded in rounding up and killing over 100 wolves. Eight of the hunters were badly bitten. Fireman Killed in an Explosion. New York—William Hammil, a fireman was hurled fifty feet and instantly killed the other day when an explosion wrecked a forty thousand gallon oil tank at the Kings County Cap Plant in Greenpoint. Three other men were injured. The victims were under the tank when the explosion occurred. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL MODIETY. $2.40 PER YEAR. LIFE IN THE HAREM Hospitality and Luxury in a Turkish Home. Women Spend Their Time Playing Cards, Listening to Professional Story-Tellers and Eating—Perfume Baths Taken. Constantinople—Hospitality among the Turks is carried to a fine art. A short time ago it was my privilege, writes a correspondent, to spend some weeks in the haram of the son-hawk of one of Turkey's greatest generals, whose leg, shot off in the battle of Pleven, was buried in a cemetery side by side with the body of his grandchild. My heart knew nothing but Turkish. She was young, beautiful and happy. Sixty years were always ready to do her challenge—not slaves but children. She was tall, but more like adored children. The square, precious house stood in a levy garden, and was divided into two portions, one half (the haramik) occupied by women and the other half (the salamik) by men. The sofas and chairs in the drawing-room were covered with red and yellow silk, and here ladies and slaves, all wearing loose garments like dressing gowns, set for hours chatting or playing cards or backgammon, or listening to the tales of the miraudis, the professional women story-tellers: They were women in story-telling for meals, macks of food beverage, at all hours. They did not sit at table in the dining-room where the host entertained his friends and where foreign ladies were admitted. Visits to a barren are looked upon as an indefinite thing. Some of the ladies staying in the house had arrived with a small bundle of clothes for a few days and had stayed on more than a year. On an embroidered carpet in one corner of the room they were seated, courses of each meal, placed there before the repast began. Women, old and young, in picturesque, flowing garments and swathed heads, handed delicious stews, one or two meats, and vegetables and rice in every form. The windows opened from the inside, behind wooden, immovable lattices. Flower baths were a great interest; the baths were baths of rose leaves and baths of rose petals; metals were rubbed in the bark and Summer Quarters of a Wealthy Turkish Family. scalp and over the whole body.

Marriages are arranged by the two families; the bridegroom does not see the bride until after the marriage ceremony, when he raises the veil. If he will do this she remains his officiant. If he will not do this she is allowed by the Koran to have four legal wives, but most of them nowadays are satisfied with one. "FAT JOB" IS DISCOVERED $9,000 Position in Missouri Is Revived after a Lapse of Thirteen Years. St. Louis.—A state appointive office, with fees estimated at $3,000 a year, which has been overlooked for 13 years, was filled for the first time with the appointee of the Judiciary, Gordon of Thomas Bond, a young attorney, as the auditor's local counsel in the collection of the collateral inheritance tax. How the lucrative position had been overlooked so long, politicians are at a loss to understand. TWO BEANS TAKEN FROM MAN Doctor Removes Pellets, One of Which Had Began to Sprout, From Ear Tube. San Bernardino, Cal.-Two beans, one of which had sprouted into an embryo plant, were removed from the head of a Mexican laborer here by Dr. H. V. Beeson. For months the man had complained of severe pains. The beans entered his head through his left ear. The growing plant was nearly an inch long, and apparently had flourished in the ear tube.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 1913 During the revelry on Broadway, New York, on New Year's eve, eight a policeman was struck in the face by a big bundle of bank bills. From whence it came no one knew, or cared, perhaps. The bills flew around, the crowd gathered in all they could and only $54 was recovered by the policeman. But now there are ten claimants for the money. Each one tells a different story as to how the roll got away from them. This shows the capidity of these New Yorkers as well as their ability to lie. For even though one of them is the rightful owner, which is doubtful, the other nine must be liars, as only one roll was lost. This is, however not surprising as what a New Yorker would not do with money or for money a Philadephia lawyer cannot tell. The money has been turned over to the property clerk, who will settle the question of ownership, and, "believe me," he has "some job." Evidently the policeman must have been appointed since Capt. Becker lost his job. --- In all the world, according to the records, no woman was convicted of murder in 1912, although a large number of persons came to their death at the hands of women. The juries being composed of men, they just won't find them guilty of a capital offense. President Taft kept open house on New Year's Day and the usual brilliant reception was held. This will probably be the last function of this character that a Republican President will hold for many years—four at least. A contemporary asks: "Can anyone tell just why it is considered proper form to celebrate the advent of the new year with a souse?" We cannot answer the question, but that's just what a whole lot of people did. Jeff Davis, U. S. Senator from Arkansas, died suddenly of apoplexy at Little Rock, yesterday. Strange, perhaps, but we have no tears to shed. WASHINGTON GOSSIP Visitor of Importance Spends a Day in the House Strange Sounds Come from Smithsonian Building Cigarette Smoking Under Ban of Censorship Ice Skating a Real Fad in Society at Capital WASHINGTON.—It didn't make a bit of difference to Benjamin Oswald Johnson, aged six, what was going on around his little head the other afternoon. He was busy with his own devices? This young Ben Johnson stumbled around the floor of the House of Representatives, while the real Ben Johnson, from Kentucky, and other legislators and statesmen thundered and argued over the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill. Little Ben is one of the five children of Representative Joseph Johnson of South Carolina. He kept the House of Representative amused from noon until 4:39 o'clock p.m. when the gavel fell for adjournment. Ben appeared on the house floor at noon dressed in a dark blue sailor suit. His father had troubles of his own, for he is in charge of the legislative bill, and Representative Fowler, with his loudest voice, was out If you are passing across the front of the Smithsonian Institution at midnight and hear strange cries coming from the Byzantine, Norman or rounded Gothic towers, buttresses, battlements, groined arches and cornices, keep your nerve. The moon may be floating through the southern sky. Now it will be hidden under dense cloud masses, and then it will burst through the black mist and cast its silver sheen over the heavens and the earth. Against all this, the long red sandstone buildings, dark but for a watchman's lamp in the central vestibule, will be submitted. It looks gloomy and lonesome. One almost feels the damp and stagnant vapor that would rise from the moat around it. If a moat were there. You can reassure yourself that you are not in a haunted forest and before some dismal medieval castle by looking northward to catch the glitter of the lights in the post office tower or by listening to the purr and soft ripple of the fountain not far removed from the northwest corner of the building. The sounds that have stopped you, and it may be chilled you come from WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH CIGARETTE SMOKING HERE BAN ON CIGARETTE CIGARETTE smoking by women has come under the ban of censorship by society women in Washington, who are leading a crusade against smoking and drinking in the social set at the National Hall. Mrs. William H. Haywood, who put herself on record several years ago, when she served only grape juice at the debutante ball of her daughter, Miss Doris Haywood, is one of the leaders in the anti-cigarette movement, and is said to not permit women to smoke in her house. Mrs. Levl Z. Lefter, who many think is to be the social leader in place of the late Mrs. John R. Mc Lean, has also declared her willingness to aid the crusaders against feminine cigarette smoking. THAT part of Washington society which delights in outdoor winter sports has started a movement to discuss the ways and means of promoting ice skating. To that end invitations were sent out by a committee of interested men and women for a meeting which was held in the banquet hall of one of the large hotels. It is hoped the feeble efforts of "Jack Frost" in Washington may be supplemented and real ice skating provided for those who wish. The tidal basin at the foot of the Washington monument is unsafe at best, and then they are only a few days' skating it through the winter. As far as the time was extended subsequent because of the almost unprecedented cold weather in this region. There are many expert skaters in Washington, who come from all parts of the world. Most of them belong to the diplomatic circle, although not a few are people who have spent the greater part of their lives in the northern part of the United States. Among those interested in the proper, Major Hale, Mrs. E. Johnston, Oil the Machine. When the sewing machine is not running well it is frequently because there is a collection of dust in the bearings. When this is the case, the machinery should be moistened with kerosene, then turn up the balance and lower the bearings before the bearings have become clean off the machine with regular machine oil. His Snakehip. Charlie, two and one-half, was playing in the yard. A snake ran across the walk. "O." he called excitedly, "here is nothing with a tail on it" after the scalp of several of the item in that bill. While Representative Fowler was being replied to by Representative Johnson, Little Ben was playing tag around his father's legs, and then they came them in most marvelous fashion. Young Ben interviewed pretty nearly every member of the house. He didn't wait for an introduction, but clambered right into the laps of the country's law makers. From the Democratic side he would hop to the Republican end of the chamber and pull out the watches of his father's dearest political foes, "just to hear the wheels tick." Uncle Joe Cannon contributed to Ben's war chest to the extent of a silver coin, and at the end of the day Ben's fists were bulging with nickels, dimes and quarters, which had been pressed upon him by admiring friends. He leaned against Representative Mann of Illinois while that statesman was shooting sharply pointed parliamentary arrows at Ben's own father. The little boy was sitting on the floor of his sentative Sereno Payne as the great tariff expert appeared to be sleeping peacefully at his desk. He rolled upon the middle aisle and forced Representative Ollie James to step over him, while the child himself was unmindful of the gigantic figure passing over him. I NEVER KNEW THAT PLACE WAS HAUNTED 0-0-0 —not mortals—but from bats. There are many of these aberrant insectivores or flying mammals, family gallopithecidae, order of chiroptera, in the shadow nooks of the Smithsonian building. Satisfied that no harm is near, you are far to thinking of James Smithson's bequest of 1826: of James Renwick, the designer of this building, the first of its style not ecclesiastic, to be reared in the United States; your glance goes up to the top of the tallest tower 145 feet above the aphall, all strewn with dead leaves, and your mind with dead folk to the time when President Polk and his cabinet had hundreds of proud men, now dust, attended the cornerstone laying in 1847 Mrs. John B. Henderson, who is the arbiter of dancing and dancers in Washington, has always been opposed to the practice. It is said she requested a fair smoker to go outside. Lady Alan Johnston, daughter of Mrs. James Pinchot, is one of the defenders of the weed, and smokes when and wherever it strikes her nose. She has been pleased her cigarettes while riding in an automobile from one place to another. Lady Johnston struck the first note in the battle some time ago, when she offered her cigarette case to other guests at a luncheon. The hostess was a crusader, and is said to have requested Lady Johnston, who happened to be the guest of honor, not to smoke. Mrs. Franklin MacVeagh, who has recently completed her million-dollar palace on Sixteenth street, has provided little balconies from her ballroom, and smoked smoke between dances. If the lady guests wish to smoke they have to go outside also. Miss Helen Taft, at a recent lunch on display, at displayspace openly Chicago. Major Allen is also an expert horseman, and with his daughters, the Misses Jeanneette and Desha Allen, takes an active part in the Hunt club of this city. The secretary of the navy, George von L. Meyer, is another of the promoters of the scheme to "build" an ice pond. The Meyer-family is from Massachusetts, where nature, unassisted, keeps winter sports going for months. The daughters of the secretary and Mrs. Meyer are adepts in skating, which they learn in their native state, and in them they had a chance to exercise when they were living in Petersburg, to which capital their father formerly was accredited by the state department. While at dinner I gave each of my boys, age four and five, two peaches, also my wife took two, while I took a handful, and, holding the hand down, asked the youngest, sitting next to me, to guess how many I had. After staring blankly at me, I turned over my hand, showing the amount, which was three, when the youngster said: "Too many."—Chicago Tribune. In the Old Way. The world isn't growing much wiser.

"He's a perfect gentleman, I think," declared Mrs. Merriwid's maternal Aunt Jane. Her niece, proceeding with her soft improvisation on the piano, expressed her entire concurrence in that opinion. "And he's very sweet tempered," Aunt Jane continued. "Surest thing you know," murmured Mrs. Merriwid, still playing. "Some saccharine, he is." "And you can't say he isn't good looking." "I could, but I won't, dearie," said Mrs. Merriwid, executing an arpeggio with nimble fingers. "To save time I'll admit that he's intelligent, a good citizen, a consistent Christian, a nifty dresser, and a patient pleaeamical puzzler. He departed this house on the ninth day of November, 1912, and "He'll never come back, he'll never come back No, he'll never come back any more." Mrs. Merriwid sang 'this with mournful expression. "I'd like to know why," said Aunt Jane. Mrs. Merriwid's right contralto was again raised in song—he had a hit Uncle Uselo on. Ever had a ear on." I "wonder if you'll ever learn to be sensible," sighed Aunt Jane. Mrs. Merriwid whirled around on the piano stool and faced her relative, "Darlingest aunt," she said, "I am not the frivolous, unthinking creature you demee. Beneath this apparent kidding there lies a deep and serious appreciation of Mr. Bludthick's merit—but I am also wise to Uncle John. Uncle Dexley in the matter of linen glove mees is commonly known as the willies." "I never—" "Don't say that you never heard that Mr. Bludthick had an Uncle John, dearle," interrupted Mrs. Merriwid. "I haven't either, but I do know that he has a mother and two sisters and several cousins because I have met mother and a sample sister and father, and Bludthick isn't to blame for having them, of course, and the fact that he is proud of them does CHORIN Mrs. Merriwid's Rich Contr credit to his heart, even if it argues a certain osseous solidity of the oranium, is Dr. Illasy would put it. In other words, I might love him mildly enough to forgive the circumstances, but not its open avowal. Do you get me, sweet aunt?" "You wouldn't be marrying the family," said Aunt Jane. "I said Ann. Mrs Merriwid asserted with emphasis. "Not while reason holds its away and the tariff question remains unsolved, dearie. Not in a million years. But if I married Mr. Bludthick, I would; that's something that can't very well be side stepped. I have heard sanguine young brides-to-be say they weren't marrying their husband's families are this, and I have seen the pearly Pozoni coursing down their cheeks as they realized too late their fatal error. Take it from me that you might as well be married, elaborated tooth as a husband's family, no such thing as severing relations; they decline to be severed and they won't be pleasant." "Mrs. Bludthick seemed to be quite pleasant," observed Aunt Jane. "She gave me the gloomy eye nevertheless, and I could detect the outlines of a hammer in her skirt pocket," said Mrs. Merriwid. "I understand from her devoted son that she's a Colonial Dame. If she isn't a colonial knocker, I'm no judge of object to particularly though. I could see little fragments of other people's business sticking to it quite plainly where she had forgotten to wipe it. I'd put my expected another visit. I'd put my private bottle of strong spirit of ammonia and leave it where it was handy for her to sniff." "Don't you like his sister?" inquired Aunt Jane. "I might learn to like her, but I wouldn't want to take up the study until I had made myself a mistress of German and the higher mathematics," replied Mrs. Merriwid. "She w. s'd say, 'Do not you like?' by the way, sunny, dear. That little habit she has of raising her eyebrows and cooing. Yes-s-s' fills me with emotions too profound for words. Bricks-s-s are the only things that would be at all adequate. No, sister didn't make it with me. The sample cousin—well, you saw the hat she was wearing. Of course it wasn't exactly the hat I should choose," Aunt Jane conceded. "Very well, then," said Mrs. Merriwid. "What boots it to bandy words, as Mr. Ruskin remarks? There are the ginkgines who would consider themselves privileged to greet me with a clammy kiss and give me advice and criticize my gowns and ask me what I pay my dressmaker and follow me into the kitchen and borrow my trunks for a month's vacation and tell me what my husband likes and dislikes and direct my attention to my increasing stoutness and call me Meiss. Mrs. Merriwid got all this off in the kitchen and to them!" she exclaimed. "Of married women would be, and worse. Nay, does a woman speak with the tongue of an angel and make love like John Drew in his paimest days; he may be liberal, considerate and unselfish and thoroughly domesticated, but if there is an Uncle John with nothing between the neck band of his shirt and his whiskers who is to be considered on visiting terms and entitled to a seat in the chimney corner where he can spit on the hearth, I beg to be excused. Uncle John, figuratively speaking, has done more for the leading industry of Reno than any other factor. They ought to erect a statue of him in the market place opposite the courthouse." Mrs. Merriwid turned to the piano again, and sang: "He's a perfect gent, but when I get tied up for life I'll pick An orphan." "It isn't an orphan asylum I'd send you to, Melissa." remarked Mrs. Merriwid's maternal aunt Aunt Jane. (Copyright, 1912, by W. G. Chapman.) Statistics on Intoxicants At the temperance conference held at Moscow it was stated that Russia spends annually about a million rubles on vodka, while the consequent diminution of the working capacity of the people and the disorganization of labor are responsible for a monetary loss of at least three million rubles Itto Was Again Raised in Song. annually. Dr. Saljiss, in the report he presented to the conference, gave a scale of the amount spent on drink in various countries. He pointed out that the average American workman only spends on drink 3.6 per cent of his earnings, the German workman 6.7, and the Russian workman 26.7, and places, as in the government of Ekaterinoslav, as much as 47 per cent of the workman's earnings are spent on intoxicants—Westminster Gazette. What Colors the Blood. The color of blood is due chiefly to iron in the little blood cells. When the iron is kept in these little blood cells, which are living and travelling around in the blood vessels, the color is red. Hit the skin hard enough to break some of the little blood vessels beneath the surface and the little cells escape from the injured blood vessels, wander about for awhile in the tissues and die. When they die the iron that made them red before then changes to black and blue color. After awhile this iron is taken up by the glands called the lymphatics, and made over again into nice red cells. The iron is taken up much more quickly by the lymphatics if the black and blue spot is rubbed and massaged — St. Nicholas. Wrong Way Miss Inez Milholland, the beautiful and aristocratic scruffrayette, detests the male flirt. At a luncheon in Newport a male flirt sneered at woman suffrage. "Woman doesn't want a vote—she wants a husband," he said. "Nonsense!" said Miss Milholland. "It's a fact," the flirt continued. "The way the average woman worships man is amazing. Why, I myself have turned about fifty women's heads." "Away from you?" said Miss Milholland. "Being a carpenter's wife, she had the best of the argument." "How so?". "When he tried to tack, she nalled him." --- Knowles Building, Boy's Hall, Stone Hall, Girl's Hall, Model Home. ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, Atlanta, Ga. Is beautifully located in the City of Atlanta, Ga.

HOT TIME FOR DELINQUENTS We clip the following from one of our exchanges to warn our delinquent subscribers what a hot time they will have if they fail to pay their newspaper bills. The same fate awaits our slow-paying advertisers: "An editor who died of starvation was being escorted to Heaven by an angel sent for that purpose. "May I just glance in at the other place before we ascend to eternal happiness?" So they went below and skimming around, taking in the sights. It so happened that the angel lost track of the editor and went around Hades hunting him. He found him slitting by an enormous furnace, fanning himself and sazing with rapture upon the fear of lost souls in the One Over the Furnace, a sign bearing the words, "Delivered subscribers," "Come," said the angel, "we must be going now." "You go on," said the editor, "I'm not going. This is heaven enough for me."
