AT SUNSET. With a smile laughter. With a sigh that's more than that's more than tears, She has held by heartstrings thribbing Throbbing through the passing years. With a touch that Is of magic, With a beauty few have known. First a child and then a woman, She has held ran all her own. And though memory and longing May be all that's left, 1 see Still the raibow In the sunset Ere the darkness calls to me! Kmorson Smalley 80CIAL EVENTS FOR THE WEEK.

Now that Hallowe'en with its usually large number of parties and other social events this year, has passed over, the next holiday to be looked forward to is the Thanksgiving-tide, which is ever so dear to the hearts of the American people. Many family dinner parties are usually held on this day and several clubs are now arranging for dances. This Is probably the most looked for holiday of all, owing to the habit that has been made of feeding on the choice of the country's foods. No doubt it will be a pleasurable occasion for the old as well as the young. It is a time of year when nature Is at her best, the low hanging sun shedding its meager warm rays over the land and bidding winter a fond welcome. The trees shorn of their beauteous verdynre and the land waiting for the tiller of the soil to appear again with bis life producing implements, the Thanksgiving time has appealed to all those interested in nature in a way that makes it a pleasant holiday. Mr. Turkey, who is next in prominence to the American Eagle in American minds, will be thought of more than at any other time, to his sorrow, but the sacrifice is a well meant one on his part and he goes to the block as cheerfully as the guests go to the table to finish him. Again it is the time when the blood of the young is tingling with the new sensations of life and the fall sports are well under way. The colleges and schools with their thrilling gridiron warriors gladdening and sorrowing the hearts of their favorite friends by their plays and misplays on the browned fields. It is a time when all is at peace and rest and life Is at its best. Then Hurrah for Thanksgiving, We're ready. TO CHICAGO. Mrs. Ingram has returned to Chicago after a very pleasant visit here with her daughter Mrs. James Judson of South Twelfth street. DINNER AT HOTEL.

Now, when a tyro goes to work in a machine shop he is sent to the tool room for a left handed monkey wrench A foundry wag will send the new boy in search of "core holes." A printer's devil is sent to the typefounders wiih a wheelbarrow for a hair space. Humorists in certain Kansas City banks have a revised code, says the Time of that city. Here are six things the beginne? probably will be required to seek ai drug stores, in stationery shops, ever at the county courthouse, where one trustful youth went the other day in inquire diligently for a "speed ball" t assist him in his work: There is the "speed ball," then. anO there is the "check stretcher," presumably used to increase the size ol checks that do not conform to the til ing cases; the "discount board," sup posed to be checkered in a man, or to facilitate the handling of discounted paper; the "clearing house key," in search for which half a day easily may be consumed, and for the red and black line;, that lie artistically on the fair pages v hat could be more appropriate than "striped ink." an l lest the Ink becomes too thick should not an "ink strainer" be procured? Ask the new boy. THE FIRST ASTOR. A Daring and Resourceful Operator In the Fur Trade. John Jacob Astor was born In the little village of Waldorf, In Germany, in 1763, just as France at the close of the Seven Tears' war was ceding Canada to England. He sailed to our side of the Atlantic in :iSS, when George III. in the treaty of Paris was acknowledging our independence and when the merchants of Montreal were establishing the Northwest company. He became a fur dealer, gradually gained control of the trade south of Lakes Huron and Superior, except that which wns in the bands of the Mackinaw company, and won a reputation as a daring and resourceful operator, which made his name known in Montreal, St. Louis, London and Canton. He had a dozen vessels afloat, representing a capital of $1,000,000, carrying furs to England and China In 1800. and at the time that the purchase of Louisiana In 1803 pushed our boundary to the Rocky mountains he was the wealthiest and most successful merchant in the United States. North American Review. The Man of Leisure. Most of our rich men work very hard not always because tbey want to, but In many Instances because they have to. The husbandry of a big estate In itself may be a task for the whole of the time and thought, not of one man. but of several. As a general thing it is fair to say that our only man of leisure is the tramp. The social pariah, the mutineer against the rule of work. Is the only one who can be sure of a care free, sybaritic existence, and even he lives in constant danger of rock salt from the farmer's gun or the onslaught of the watchdog around the corner as the hobo knocks at the kitchen door or pauses at the water trough to drink. The poor tramp is certainly a more frequent social phenomenon than the rich one. Philadelphia Ledger. The Earl and the Angler. One of the earls of Minto had a kindly nature. Oue day a Hawick angler was throwing his line on the river near Minto when a tall gentleman came up to him and inquired what kind of sport he was having. The tisher replied that it was not very good and that he could do better if he were at the other side of the water, adding. "I'll gi'e ye sixpence if ye'U arry me across." The bargain was struck, and the gentleman, getting the mgler on his back, carried him through the water to the other side. True to sis promise, the anjrler produced the irpenoe. which he proffered to the ranger, who. however, smiled and entarked. "Give it to the first beggar i'ou meet and tell him it is a present from the Earl of Minto." Why She Worried. "But. mother, why do you object to my being pleasant to the young men? You can't hope to keep me with you always, you know One of them will take me away from you some day." "Take you awcy from me? Well, it that happens 1 shall not complain. Itis the certainty that none of the young men who hare been coming here so far would take you away that has worried both yonr father and me." Chicago Record-UeraiO.

Of Interest To

Choosing Children's Toys. A wise choice of toys is a great help in developing mental powers in childrennot toys already constructed, but those with which things can be constructed are the best kind. The rich ':iid surrounded with numbers of elaboiate toys has little opportunity to exercise bis skill in invention and his power of constructing playthings. Far better oSf is the poor child who, with a few bits of wood and cord, constructs his own toys. The latter in a few years, with the aid of hammer and nails, wiU exercise his ingenuity in constructing all sorts of mechanical devices and thus acquire a very useful power in handling tools and the equally important mental power of relying on his own skill in providing himself with whatever he wishes. The results may be crude, but the acquisition of this power is a glorious achievement. Parents should guard against doing too much for their children. There is a tendency to rive them knowledge, figuratively speaking, "by the spoonful," to make them little memorizing machines, to stereotype, to crush ongl nality. The result of this is intellectual feebleness. Parents must strive to overcome this tendency and not a I low love for their children to be the foolish kiud that does everything foi them, instead of teaching them hov to do the things for thcnjseives. Le them remember that they may not ni ways have their parents to do for them, and it is part of their duty parents to make them mentally vigor oil and fully equipped to tight lifv'.batt'es, if need be. alone. The Children's Luncheon. Mothers livirg tco far from th schoolhouse for the children to coin home to lunch will find this a solutloi of the cold lunch problem: Use a boabout fifteen inches square, lnslrt measurement; pack a three inch Inye of excelsior very solidly In the bottom then put a tin or agate pail having . very tight cover on this. Pack exce sior solidly around this to the top the pail. It is very important to hav It solid, as the pail must be taken ou; A cover must be made to fit the 1on and this, too, covered for three inche or enough to reach the pall with tin excelsior, held in place with cheese cloth or other light fabric tacked se curely over it. For the box make r cover of linen or dark canvas. Thicover should extend all over box and hook on side. For the lunch boil in the pall rice, beans, soup or whatevei you may choose that can be boiled When nearly done cover closely and put at once in the box, put the cover on the box and it is ready and will b. done and hot when the children are ready for it hours later. Of course li a tin pail is used nothing containing tomatoes should be chosen. This will be found of especial convenience to mothers living in the country, where children drive to school. Notes For the Nursery. Baby should not be set on his leg.v too soon. When he feels like It be will start walking as naturally as any other little animal does. Peace at any price Is the motto of the mother who resorts to the baby "comforter." None the less, to suck one of these comforts is a bad habit difficult to break, and it is as unhygienic as It is objectionable. Baby Is much happier left in peace to kick and crow In his cot than if he is continually being dandled, and the constant nursing some mothers give is merely gratifying to their own sense of possession and not comforting to the child. Oatmeal does not agree with every child, and when it causes heat spots its use should at once be discontinued. A Hint to Mothers. Children of nervous temperaments often become chilled and fretful during a bath. Try bathing the child first to the elbows and waist line, then drying quickly with a small Turkish tow el. Let the child sit In the water during this part of the bath, so that the lowei art of the body may be kept warm. This keeps away chill, and the bath can be finished in a moment, the child remaining warm and comfortable during the entire process. The practice can even' be adopted with excel lent results by grownups whose circulation is a trifle sluggish and who experience the unrleasant after bath chill. For the Neat Little Maid. Conductive to neatness, perhaps, and certainly to be enjoyed by the small girl as being her "very own" would le n little laundry bag. in which she might tuck only her own little "pretties" and frocks. Mother or big sister might embroider one for the small girl, using white pique or some other heavy wh.Jb!e fabric for the br.g itHf ft ' .V I t- "?erors .r lze lBt Ufa by him tor' THE lfij2 OUTFIT van snwnM 529 Main Street

This was .tvited in the reign of King Louis Philippe when vines were planted in the Ag-ucsseau and Montesquieu courtyard' of the Palais Courbon.

"When my little girl was about eight months old, 6he was taken with a very irritating breaking out, which came on her face, neck nnd back. When she first came down with it, it oame in little waterylike festers under her eyes, and on her chin, then after a few days it would dry down in scaly, white scabs. In the daytime she was quite worrysome and would dig and scratch her face nearly ail the time. " I consulted our physician and found she was suffering from eczema, which he said came from her teeth ing. I used the ointment he gave me and without any relief at all. Then I wrote for a book on Cuticura, and purchased some Cuticura Soap and Ointment at the drugstore. I did as I found directions in th Cuticura Booklet, and when she was one year old, she was entirely cured. Now she is three years and four months, and she has never been troubled with eczema since she was cured by the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment." (Signed) Mrs. Freeman Craver, 311 Lewis St., Syracuse, N. Y., May 6, 1911. Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold throughout the world, but to those who have tried the usual remedies and found them wanting, and who have lost faith in everything, a liberal sample of each, with 32-p. book on the skin, will be sent rst-free, on application to Potter Drug Chem, Corp., Dept. 2A, Boston, Mass.
