From a brief, examination of contempo

armies of the north and south, when going
to battle with one anothoer, mutt have had
to send out a traffic squad to clear a path
through tii multitude of lady spies who
clogged to scenery, .
"Those were threat days when nations
started .making inquiries about the
enemy's land after hostilities had been
declared. Nowadays If a war department
wants to know anything about this coun

the oeafest book store and buy an armful
of books, detailing with numerous rhoto
graphs the strongholds of the nation. 1
bet If this soldier really was a European
coVnt sleuthing In disguise the truth would
belftist he was spying "ton his own hook,
Pitas by the day or week. Even the
Austrian government started to look him
up with t,he promise that If it was one of
their spies they'd tell us. so that the man
could be f-roperly scolded. Austria doesn't
want to have war, because all we would
have to do would be to stop spending money
on their baths, restaurants and musical

f Pointers on Wigs
J
Astvapia. king of the Medea wore a wig.
In the early ages of the Christian era th
fathers of the church - fulllely. protested
against the use of wigs.
Egyptians. . Romans and Greeks of an
tiquity were familiar with the use of wisrs,
which were mad of natural hair.
It was unsafe for Khgllsh children to
walk out alone tn ln!5, leet they should be
robled of their hair for wigmakers. . ,
During the latter, part of . the reign of
Ixiuis XIV of France., to wear one's hair
or . a small wig was almost an offense
against good morals.
From childhood Louis XV, French mon
arch, used powder upon his wig, and made
it completely white, which custom was imi
tated by his courtiers. The practice, con
tinued until the Reign of' Terror, when
wjgs and powder disappeared together from
France.

he ground awhile and think how pleasant
''nd comfortable It la to be one of the
crowd riding the handle In gay good-fellow-hip.
If you all break up the gam and
'tide off to rush after her when she makes
'ier flight, of course she cannot get the
' Ight Idea of 4 he satisfaction to be derived
rom being on .th handle. Let her study
'he good time you all can have. Don't let
'ier spoil It. -
Rut do you know what I think, at least
vhat X suspicion? Tou mentioned her sum
ner home. Hasn't she an automobile In
vhlch she can take you girls out now and
hon? Isn't her house a fine one for little
lancing parties? And hasn't her mother
r some- one In eharge of it -a hospitable
plrlt which causes the houae to be placed
it the disposal of "the set" for gay little
;rollc?
I have an Idea that you girl are just
paying rent for. th house by humoring the
girl who flies off the handle. A sneaking
suspicion that you hire the automobile by
honeying Its owner has slid Into my mind.
Am I right? You see It does not seem
quite natural to me that the rest of you
will put yourselves to the trouble of
scrambling down the handle to drag her
back on when she flies off unless there's n
reason. And an automobile end a house
with hardwood four tiided together equal
a reason.
To b just as hoai it us I make a practice
of being I do not vhuTk you have any room
to complain. You are working her. If yoi
really like her so well In kpite of her very

Dr. Whit, "who tried to climb a corn

"A lot of neighbors with axe have been
trying to cut the stalk down, but it -grow

"It waa feared for a uhlie that the boy

Mount Washington. Mas., a mall vil

not witnessed a marriage during th life
of th preeent generation. So, according
to the Boston Poet, when Mis Laura K.
Srhutt and the Rev. Milton Whittler were
wedded the other day every Inhabitant
of the town turned out to attend the wed

man and the farmer's daughter unk deep
into the hearts of all th folk in the neigh
boring town.
It wa only a little over a year ago that
Mr Wbittler was graduated from the Tale
Theological school, came to the tiny village
of Mount Washington to begin hi career in
the humble little Congregational church.
The church, although It Is a good many
mile from moat of th farms of Mount
Washington, la regularly attended by prac
tically everyone in the township. The
roads are up hill and down and so steep
that it takes a good hors to carry th
church-goers'to their destination.
Miss Schutt was not daunted by all these
obstacles. It was always her habit to at
tend church regularly, hut when the Rev.
Mr. Whittler came to the town and took
the position of pastor of the church for a
season Miss chutt attended th church,
so 'tis raid, with an added zest.
Soon the young minister began to notice
the deliberation and attention with which
bis words were weighed. He began to
notic her from the pulpit. Frequently

Th legislature of 1877 realised that reme

Mr. Whittler went to the Schutt house
and traveled many a toilsome mile in order
that h might see the young woman who
had so attracted him In the church. Be
fore the summer waa over It was rumored
that they were engaged, and It was very
little time after th rumor started that
the entire population ot Mount Washington
were apprised of It.
During the long winter season which
followed Mr. Whittler mad at least on
trip 'west to th Berkshire town and ar
rangement were made for th wedding,

person in town wa Invited. It was also
necessary to ask a good many outsiders,
for th church would seem almost empty
with only th thirteen voters of th town
together with their families In the high
backed pew.
80 guests wer haled from Oreat Bar
rington and Springfield and many ether
place, and every preparation waa made
to make the first wedding In fifty years a
striking occasion.
Everyone In the township accepted the
Invitation and offered any assistance they
might be able to give In preparing th
church.
The Fchutt home was used as headquar
ter for these preparations, a there wa
no other suitable place available.
It was a pretty sight when all the vil
lager entered th church on th wedding
morn and th unusual ceremony was per
formed. "Hoppers"
over the prairie grass along th roadways,
and when th hopper got their long legs
tangled In It, the tar wa fired and mil
lions wei killed. Many fields of growing
grain were thus saved from, the ravages
of the pest by the application of the
"warning out" law.
