can get it at any reliable drug store
You ought also to use a local applica

THE LONG HARD HILL
Xliey were standing iu the sunlight
Of the summer time of life
She was still without a husband
lie was waiting for a wife
And her cheeks were rich and rosy
And her lips were luscious red
So he pressed her dimpled lingers
As he looked at her and said
As they stood there in the heather
Where the road had crossed the rill
May we not fare together
Up this long hard hill
Now her hand began to tremble
And her eyes were full of tears
As she trained them on the road that
Wound away among the years
But she had no voice to answer
Him she could not understand
For the future lay before her
Like a far off fairy land
There was sunlight on the heather
There was music in the rill
As they went away together
Up the long hard hill
Oftentimes the way was sunny
Other times twas full of lures
But the love that had come to them
Was the true love that endures
Though the bonny brow is wrinkled
Though the raven lock be gray
Yet the toad might have been rougher
Had she gone the other way
Isow the frost is on the heather
And the snow is on the rill
And theyre coasting down the short side
Of the long hard hill

LOYAL TO COUNTRY
One Avarm morning in the spriug of
J7S0 Mrs Slocumb was sittiug on the
broad piazza about her home ou a large
plantation in South Carolina Her hus
band and many of his neighbors were
with Sumter fighting for the strug
gling colonies but on this beautiful
morning there were almost no sigus of
war to he seen As yet this plantation
had not been molested and as Mrs
Slocumb glanced at her little child
playing near her or spoke to her sister
who was her companion or addressed
a word to the servants there was no
alarm manifest But in a moment the
entire scene was changed
There come some soldiers said her
sister pointing toward an ollicer and
twenty troopers who turned out of the
highway and entered the yard
Mrs Slocumb made no reply al
though her face became pale and there
was a tightening of the lips as she
watched the men Her fears were not
allayed when she became satisfied that
the leader was none other than the
hated Col Tarleton That short thick
set body dressed iu a gorgeous scarlet
uniform the llorid face and cruel ex
pression proclaimed the approaching
officer only too well But the mistress
gave no sign of fear as she arose to lis
ten to the words of the leader who soon
drew his horse to a halt before her
liaising his cap and bowing to his
horses neck he said nave 1 the
pleasure of addressing the mistress of
this plantation
It is my husbands
And is he here
lie is uot
He is no rebel is he
Xo sir He is a soldier in the army
of his country and lighting her invad
ers
He must be a rebel and no friend of
his country if he tights against his
king
Only slaves have masters here re
plied the undaunted woman
Tarletons face Hushed but he made
no reply and turning to one of his
companions gave orders for a camp to
he made m the orchard near by Soon
the 1100 men in his command had
pitched their tents and the peaceful
plantation took on the garb of war
Returning to the piazza and again
bowing low the British colonel said
Necessity compels his majestys troops
to occupy your place for a time and I
will have to make my quarters in your
house that is if it will not be too
great an inconvenience to you
My family consists at present of
only myself my child and sister be
sides the servants and we must obey
your orders
In less than an hour the entire place
was transformed The white tents
covered the lawn horses were tied to

no OX MASSA
the high rail fences soldiers in bright
uniforms were moving here and there
lie fore entering the house the British
culonel called some of his officers and
gave sharp orders for scouring the
country within the neighborhood of
ten or tifteeh miles
This sharp command was not lost
upon Mrs Slocumb nor was she slow
to act upon it herself as wo soon shall
see But for the present trying to sti
11 e her fears she determined to make
the best of the situation and avert all
the danger possible by providing for
the comfort of Tarleton and his men
and accordingly she had a dinner soon
ready fit for a king and surely far too
good for such a cruel and bloodthirsty
man as Tarleton soon was known to
be
When the colonel and his staff were
summoned to the dining room they sat
down to a table which fairly groaned
beneath the good tilings heaped upon
it It was such a dinner as only the
South Carolina matrons knew how to
prepare and the men soon became jo
vial under its influences We shall
have few sober men by morning said
a captain if this is the way we are to
be treated I suppose when this little
war is over all this country will be di
vided among the soldiers Eh col
onel
Undoubtedlyfhe officers will occupy
large portions of the country replied
Tarleton
Yes I know just how much they
will each occupy said Mrs Slocumb
unable to maintain silence longer
And how much will that be mad
am inquired Tarleton bowing low
Six feet two
The colonels face again flushed with
anger as he replied Excuse me
but I shall endeavor to have this very
plantation made over to me as a ducal
seat
I have a husband whom you seem
to forget and I can assure you he is
not the man to allow even the king
himself to have a quiet seat on his
ground
But the conversation suddenly was
interrupted by the sounds of liring
Some straggling scout running
away said one of the men not quite
willing to leave the table
No sir There are rifles there and
a good man j of them too said Tarle
ton rising quickly and running to the
piazza an example which all including
Mrs Slocumb at once followed She
was trembling now for she felt ssur
ed that she could explain the cause of
the commotion
May I ask madam said Trleton
turning to her as soon as he had given
his orders for the action of his troops
whether any of Washingtons forces
are in this neighborhood or not
BOWING
You must know that Gen Green
and the marquis are in South Carolina
and I have no doubt you Avould be
pleased to see Lee once more He shook
your hand very Avarmly the last time
he met you I am told
An oath escaped the angry colonels
lips and he glanced for a moment at
the scar Avhieh the wound Lee had
made had left on his hand but he turn
ed abruptly and oyrdered the troops to
form on the right and he dashed doAvn
the lawn
A shout and the sound of firearms
drew the attention of Mrs Slocumb to
the long avenue that led to the house
A cry escaped her at the sight for
there Avas her husband folloAved by
tAAo of her neighbors pursuing on
horseback a band of five tories whom
Tarleton had sent to scour the country
On and on they came and it AAas evi
dent that the pursuers Avere too busy
to haA e noticed the army of Tarleton
Broad SAVords and Aarious kinds of
weapons Avere flashing in the air and it
was plain that the enraged Slocumb
saAv nothing but the tories he Avas pur
suing Could nothing be done Would
they run into the very heart of the
camp Mrs Slocumb tried to scream
and AA arn her husband but not ft sound
could she make One of the tories had
just fallen Avhen she saAV her hus
bands horse suddenly stop and SAverve
to one side What awis the cause
Sambo the shiAe Avhom Mrs Slo
cumb had dispatched as soon as Tarle
ton had come to Avarn her husband
had started promptly on his errand
but the bright coats of the British had
so charmed him that he had lingered
about the place and when the sound
of the guns was heard Sambo had gone
only as far as the hedgerow that lined
the avenue Discretion became the
better part of valor then and the negro
in his fear had crawled beneath it for
shelter but Avhen his frightened face
beheld his master approaching he had
mustered enough courage to craAvl
forth from his hiding place and startle
the horses as they passed
Hoi on massa Hoi on he shout
ed
te
Recognizing the voice Slocumb and
his followers for the first time stop
ped and glanced about them Off to
thoir left Avere a thousand men within
pistol shot As they wheeled their
horses they saAV a body of horsemen
leaping the hedge and already in their
rear Quickly Avheeling again they
started directly for the house near
Avhieh the guard had been stationed
On they sAvept and on leaping the
fence of lath about the garden patch
amid a shower of bullets they started
through the open lots Another sIioaa
er of bullets fell about them as their
horses leaped the broad brook or
canal as it Aas called and then al
most before the guard had cleared tlie
fences they had gained the shelter of
the Avoods beyond and were safe
The chagrin of the British Tarleton
was as great as the relief of Mrs Slo
cumb and Avhen on the following day
the troops moved on the cordial adieu
of the hostess led the colonel to say
The British are not robbers madam
We shall pay you for all Ave have
taken
I am so rejoiced at Avhat you have
not taken that I shall not complain if I
do not hear from you again
And she neither heard nor complain

Use for Old Street Cars
The many uses to Avhieh the old horse
cars have been put in San Francisco are
indeed striking Iu this city the horse
cars haAe almost entirely disappeared
before the cable and electric cars and
as a result the street raihvay companies
found themselves Avith a large number
of cars upon their hands They Avere
of sale until some enterprising
genius hit upon the idea of utilizing
them for house boats This pioneer
purchased four of these street cars a
15 apiece He then took off the trucks
and running gear and fastened the
bodies of the cars upon a flat boat or
scow Gxf4 feet over all They are

Almost everyone could do it if it were

soap many do But washing- with

The hard work of soap is neither
