Glories of a Dakota Winter. From out of the hay mow echoes the homely cackle of busy “biddies” lining their nests with two cent eggs. The wheel tires creak a shrill melody on the frosty track, while the roadside wires, linking the farmstead to the throbbing heart of the great, busy world, keyed to aeollan pitch, fill the air with rhythm. The bouquet of rich, old wine ts in the air. It races through the veins, mounts to the brain, sparkles In the eye and bursts from the lips In laughter and shouting. Sing if you please the beauties of the tropics, of teeming, swarming life, of perennial foliage, Sowers and fruit; extenuate the “lukewarmness” of more temperate climes and endure the penetrating chill of lower altitudes—ls you know no better—but give me the cheery, rejuvenating, glorious Dakota winter.—Howard (S. D.) Spirit A Rick Genealogy. A few months ago in looking up his genealogy a Londoner discovered that a woman whom he did not know was using a crest he had regarded as his own. He found she was a cousin. They became friends, and when she died recently she bequeathed her estate, more than $500,000, to him. That was certainly rich fruit to find on the branches of the family tree. An armload of old papers for a nickel at The Democrat office. Read The Democrat for news.

Gatwick’s Photography

By HARRIET [?]CKSON

“I beg your pardon,” said Gatwick politely. Miss Willard raised her voice. ‘‘l asked you,” she shouted, “how much money you make a day!” “It depends on the day,” answered Jack Gatwlck rather shortly. Miss Willard flushed. “I beg youi pardon,” she said In turn. “I did not realize how rude my question sounded.” “It’s all right,” said Gatwlck affably “You see, I thought you might be the tax collector, and \Wth tax collectors It’s best to be noncommittal.” Jessie Willard laughed merrily. “You see, It’s this way,” she explained “I must leave this delightful place tomorrow and go to a horrid fashionable resort, where you have to dress up all the while. I have picked out a lot of nice nooks here, and I want to be photographed in them as a souvenir. Now, it will take all day, but there won’t be many pictures, and I don’t want to ask you to lose mouey bj wasting a whole lot of time.” “Time Is money,” quoted Gatwlck, “but sometimes it Isn’t very much money. Shall we say $3 a day and found?” “That’s awfully cheap,” she agreed, “and I’m glad I found you.” “Then,” he countered, “I shall be well found. Found, you know, means feed for man and brute.” She waved a hand toward the big red barn. “Put the w T ogan there,” she commanded, “and turn the horse out In the pasture. He looks as though he would enjoy a day off.” “I only paid eighteen for him,” apologized Gatwlck. “You should have seen him when I got him. You know, Itinerant photographers are not able to hire blooded stock to haul abandoned grocery wagons about the country.” She looked suggestively toward the barn. It occurred to her that this traveling photographer was growing familiar on short acquaintance. Gat-

"THAT’S AWFULLY CHEAP,” SHE AGREED, “AND I’M GLAD I FOUND YOU.”

wick took the hint and started the bony beast Twenty minutes later he again approached his employer. She rose to her feet. “Come on,” she said shortly, and they started across the road and over the meadow beyond. She felt a little sorry that she had checked Gatwlck’s jokes, but he soon recovered his self possession, and again they were chatting as old friends. Then began a day that will live In Gatwlck’s memory. Miss Willard was a most admirable subject, anil they went from nook to nook, where she unconsciously fell into the most admirable poses. Almost before he knew It he had exhausted the dozen plates with which he had started out, and a lopg trip across the fields was necessary to obtain a fresh supply. They got to the house about dinner time and had their meal there, though Miss Willard Insisted that this last day she must have a picnic lunch even If It were only for 5 o’clock tea. When they set forth again in addition to the camera Gatwick carried a heavy basket, and be was glad enough when at last Miss Willard decided that she had been photographed in every favorite resort and suggested that be make a fire and boll the water for tea. By this time they were on thoroughly good terms. She had fonnd that his easy pleasantry did not lapse Into familiarity, and she was less quick to check bis remarks, at the same time mentally deciding that traveling photographers were not only brighter, but handsomer, than the young men who formed the masculine element of the circle in which she moved. An hour later she watched him drive down the dusty country road, and then, with a sigh, she turned Indoors and began her packing, for she left on the late night train. And that night Gatwick, bending over the tray In the improvised dark room formed by the traveling wagon, saw ; with delight the same dainty figure flash forth from plate after plate and realized that it was some of the best work he had ever done. He was regarded as one of the best amateurs in the Camera club, and when he had broken down from overwork Just at a time when he was about to finish the book that was to make him

famous he put his knowledge of tb« art to practical use by faring forth into the country. The fresh air had doue wonders foi him, and, as he wirote his chum, be wag improving almost as much as the sick city horse. He was finishing off the book, too, and in the meantime he was making enough money photographing the country folk, their homes and horses to pay his way and a little more. In the full Gatwick’s novel made the expected hit, and It was recognized as one of the “six best sellers” and the “ten best novels.” Early In the spring there came out , another book, following up the first success. This was a vacation romance, fairly redolent of green fields and spicy woods. It far exceeded the hit of the first volume. A few weeks later Jessie Willard received a special copy in an elaborate binding. In place of the half tone illustrations of the original edition were Inserted carbon prints of the pictures Jack Gatwick had taken on their first day in the fields. With it went a note. “Dear Miss Willard,” it ran, “I beg that you will accept this little volume, of which you are Hie real inspiration. And if with it you will accept the author you will make him as nappy as he was that day when" he was merely the ‘hired’ man and you were the ‘boss.’ He has been your servant and your slave since then, and now that be has something more than himself to offer he humbly lays all at your feet, praying that you will be as gracious in town as jVu were in the country.” For three days Gatwick haunted the hallway that he might be at hand when the postman came. At last a dainty letter! “Dear,” he read, “why did you wait so long? Why did you not come when you had only yourself to offer, for since that happy day It was you that I needed most. You were cruel to keep me waiting so long, and in return I shall exact constant attendance.” Jessie Gatwick guards her husband’s health carefully, because, she says, it is dangerous to let him take to the road with ‘ A camera now that he has married his first victim.

Japanese Flower Arrangement.

The general ideas of Japanese floral arrangements may be summarized In this way: Each setting of flowers must represent earth, air and water, or heaven, earth and man. In placing blossoms In a vase the vase and water are earth, the short stemmed flowers man and the tall ones heaven. The ramifications of this principle—the delicate, subtle meanings and properties —are Infinite. There are flowers which represent months and flowers which represent days, and as every Japanese house contains flowers they form a calendar for the initiated. Every family of standing has artistically correct vases, vase holders and flowers, and the manner of entertaining an honored visitor is to ask him to arrange some flowers. The guest is governed by rigid laws. He must not make too elaborate an arrangement, for that takes overmuch time. lie always offers to destroy what he has done to prove he considers It valueless. Only when he is urged by his host does he leave it. These are examples of the long list of restrictions. The Japanese knows them as he knows his language and his literature.—Harper’s Bazar.

His Smart Trick.

"I suppose there comes to every man a desire to do something smart on an occasion,” said the drummer as a sigh took the place of his smile. “Well, such a desire came to me as I was leaving a certain southern city after a week’s stay. The waiter at my table had called me ’glneral’ and been at great pains to care for me, and I made up my mind to reward him with a five dollar bill. It was a counterfeit with which I had been stuck, but I thought it would be the biggest kind of a Joke to work it off on Bob. “I bad got a hundred miles away when I was arrested on a telegram for passing counterfeit money, and when taken back I was arraigned in a United States court and had to give ball and appear on three different occasions. I had a lawyer and other expenses, lost a good three weeks altogether and Just escaped prison by the skin of my teeth. In addition to this I had to make good to the waiter, who sorrowfully shook his head when he received the money and said: “ ‘l’s sorry for you, glneral, but dls may be de means of savin’ your contemptible soul from the gallus! ’ Atlanta Constitution.

Opcnig Oysters.

“Talk about opening oysters,” said the old pilot as he pushed back a heap of shells and asked the waiter for his check, “I never did see anybody to beat Benny Hawser. Benny could open oysters like magic. Never used a knife, neither. Said it was cruel.” “How did he manage it?” asked the guileless young man from uptown. “Snuff, my boy,” replied the old pilot solemnly. “Bought real Scotch snuff, the strongest In the market. When he held a little of it in front of the oysters they sneezed the top shell off.” "Pooh!” said the young man. “Benny was all right in his way,” observed the cashier, “but he wasn’t a circumstance to a feller on a freight sloop that used to run between Fulton slip and Bridgeport. Why, when that feller'd come in here he’d take a dozen oysters and spread 'em in a row on that very table you’re sittin’ at. Then he’d begin to spin a sea yam. I never beerd another man like him. Them oysters jes’ opened their mouths in astonishment at his whoppers. Then he’d take ’em by surprise, whip ’em out of their shells, sprinkle ’em with pepper an’ vinegar an’ swaller ’em.”— New York Press.

WOMAN AND FASHION

Early Spring Salt. Even before we can hope the bitterest winter days are past the spring suits are making their appearance. Her* is one of the first comers, a smart model In gray tweed trimmed with

GRAY TWEED SUIT.

stitched bauds of self and fancy braid ornaments. The skirt is fitted to the hips with shallow stitched plaits. The coat is on the approved fitted lines, the tailpiece cut sharply away over the hips, a stole-like vest of white cloth affording a smart finish.

Colora For Spring. The reliable announcement that gray and green are to be the leading colors of the coining season is hailed with relief. Gray in those soft shades that are neither too light nor yet too somber is the favorite, with green very nearly as popular. The very early spring suits and frocks will doubtless be in gray, but beware when you purchase that you select goods that will retain the color, for there is nothing like gray to fade. The greens are more reliable. There are few shades that will not stand hard service and the hottest sun. The blue greens in particular are trustworthy.

Waali Dreaaen In Winter. Tubb..ble clothing of ail sorts is a fad of the day, and a wise one it is, for it insures a freshness in one’s clothing that used to be enjoyed only in the heat of summer. Nowadays women wear the thinnest of shirt waists all through the coldest weather and frequently white pique or duck skirts for indoors, a fashion which a few years ago was the prerogative of the trained nurse only. The shirt waists are worn over silk slips or neat little knitted vests of wool, lisle thread or silk, that come especially for that purpose, and so are quite as warm as waists made of wool or other materials.

New Neck Roches. Few ruchings are calculated to form nn evgn prettier frame for the face than the old kind, of uniform height. The newer ones are quite shallow in front, rising on the sides and in the back standing two inches and more above the collar. They are made of chiffon, lace or two or three plaited ruffles of mousseline bordered with the narrowest white ribbon. They are quite inexpensive and give the necessary dress to the back of the neck without discomforting the chin.

A Pretty Collar. For a long neck a pretty collar may be made by gathering an inch wide lace upon a very narrow band of white swiss. On the other side of the band a frill of narrower lace is sewed, and the swiss band is then covered by a fancy beading, through which is run a band of black velvet ribbon.

Box Plaited Skirt. This box plaited skirt is adapted to all the fashionable materials, but the model is of chiffon eolienne, cerise in color, stitched. The fullness below the Btitchings falls in ample and graceful

NINE GORED SKIRT.

folds, which make sufficient trimming in themselves, but if a more elaborate design is preferred any suitable finish can be added. The skirt is nine gdbed, the box plaits concealing all seams, and is stitched flat to well below the hips, being pressed into position below. Material for medium size is thirteen and three-quarter yards twenty-one, twelve and three-quarter yards twenty-seven or seven yards forty-four Inches wide

ADVERTISING PAYS.

Saturday was another unusually busy day in Williamsport. A tribute to the value and efficacy of printers ink in bringing people in to buy. The only mistake any merchant ever makes in his advertising orders is when he orders the printer to cat it out. A merchant once told the writer in reply to a query as to why he carried a large ad. all the time, and a much larger one every now and then: “I carry an ad. every week because somebody every week reads my ad. for the first time —somebody who has not heretofore read the paper in which I advertise. I carry a large one because when a person sees a large ad. he concludes that it is the announcement of a large store—a big stock of goods to select from. When I have a special announcement to make, I use more space, because it is worth it. If I should discontinue my advertising, I should continue to have a good trade for some time from my old customers, but I’d get no new ones. I consider persistent and regular advertising of more value to a merchant than the sarre amount of money spent in fitful and irregular spurts.” The business of the merchant quoted bore him out in his statements and the growth of his business demonstrated the truth of this theory.—AVilliamsport Review.

OBITUARY.

Mary A. Hurley, nee Knight, daughter of James and Nancy Knight, was born at Ontario, Canada, Sept. 24, 1868, and departed this life Feb 17, 1905, aged 37 years, 5 months and 24 days. She came with her parents to Jasper Co., during her infancy, where she resided until called hence. She was married to Theodore Hurley Sept. 20, 1893, to which union seven children were born, 3 boys and 3 girls survive her, namely: Grace, Clifford, Jasper, Gladys, Opal and Emma. She leaves a husband, father and mother, six children, two brothers and two s sters to mourn her untimely departure. She united with the U. B. church in 1888, and remained a faithful member until she was tunmard hence. Her life was a testimony of Christianity, which will never be forgotten. The funeral was conducted at the house by Rev, J. Vandercar. The remains were interred in the cemetery east of Blackford. A large concourse of friends followed the remains to the cemetery.

Origin of a Popular Sentence.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer, after trying for some time to answer iuquirem regarding the occasion of Abraham Lincoln's use of the words, “You can fool all the people some of the tlma and some of the people all the but not all the people nil the gives it up. Colonel Hay was appealed to, but that biographer of President Lincoln had to acknowledge he never encountered the sentence when making minute investigation of Lincoln’# speeches, papers, letters and recorded sayings. An Ohio congressman who had been asked the question referred the Inquirer to the library of congress, where if anywhere the information could lie obtained. The Washington Post reports :! ■ result. Assistant Librarian Spoil'..-: made a written reply, in which lie s..ys il e sentence does not occur in any of Lincoln’s writings, adding that Mr. Nicolay. Lincoln’s secretary and associate of Colonel John Hay, in writing the elaborate biography of Lincoln, told Spofford the alleged Lincoln saying was spurious. Librarian Spofford says the real author of the popular sentence was Phineas T. Barnurn, the famous showman, who “fooled the people” more successfully than any other man of his time.

Salt on the Walks. It is worth while for property owners to know that salt on the surface of cement blocks causes quick disintegration and a consequent unsightly roughening that, of course, becomes permanent. Salt water formed by combination of the salt with snow and ice alaat as is well known, makes quickly porous the leather shoe soles of pedestrians, so that they absorb water almost like sponges, greatly multiplying the number of troublesome colds on account of damp feet. Years ago, when diphtheria in its virulent form prevailed, there were not a few physicians of good professional standing who held that the use of salt on Icy sidewalks in winter contributed not a little to the spread and also to the severity of this dread disease of childhood. Sand or sawdust or sifted ashen, for the safety of those who “stand an slippery places” are In all ways as useful as salt and better than salt, lacking all the objections here noted.—Syracuse Post-Standard.
