To build a house, with love for architect,

And in a tiny cabin, shaped for two,
The space for happiness Is just as great,

And beauteous green things grow! ,

The pale, vagrant dead the Potter's Field,
Yet to the living not one Inch of soil.
' Nay, we take from them soil, and sun, and air,
, To fashion slums and hell-holes for the race.
And to our poor wo say, "Go Btarve and die
'., As beggars die; so gain your horltagp,".

PEOPLE'S DAYAT TULLERIES
j REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.
-One hundred and twenty-twq " years
ago, June 21. 1791, all Paris was shouting
"The kins is gonel The king Is gonot"
Louis Sixteenth, with his family, had run
away, an the people were bewildered.
:Whlle the people
yrrt bemoaning
tho king's flight, a
man In threadbare
tkthes leaped upon
a' box and delivered
the following
speech: "OtUens,
a .'certain Neapoli
tan, while taking
bft evening walk,
ws startled by the
news that the pope
was dead. Hardly
recovered from his
surprise, he was
told that the king of Naples was no
more.
'"i'Surely, he exclaimed, 'the sun of
(Heaven must vanish at such a com
bination of fatalities.' Just then the news
Was announced that the bishop 'of Pal
ermo had just expired. Overcome, the
man sought his bed, but could not sleep,
trf the morning he was startled by a
nose which ha at once recognized as
the" motion1 of the wooden Instrument used
liv making macaroni. 'Aha!' he Wed,
'he pope Is dead the king of Naples Is
dead the blsliop of Palermo is dead yet,
riiy neighbor, the baker, still maSes mac
arom.' Citizens, mourn not. fear not, for
the Uvea of thesegreat ones- are not so
Indispensable after all."
"(The man In the threadbare clothes
Jumped down and disappeared and the
niob concluded to make a visit to the.
ruUerlea. The lamentation had changed
to.' hate. Smashing In the doors of the
royal apartment, the rabble poured Into
t(o palace. An apple woman sat In the
queen's bed, offering her fruit for sale.
Women pried Into the .closets and arrayed
themselves In the queen's garments. One
ef her caps ittb placed on the head of
aoung girt, who snatched It off, threw
It upon the floor and stomped It under
her feet. All through the splendid place
roamed the ragged democrats and their
nives and sisters. It was, indeed,) the
people's da at the- Tullerles, and
mightily did they enjoy It.
To the credit of the mob It Is written
that It would allow no one-to disturb the
toys ot the little dauphin, and they
remained In the nursery Just as he left
them. The Sansculottes had lost their
respect for the king, but they still felt
the humftji sympathy, which, taalces the

A diminishing glass Is sometimes aa
useful as a magnifier. A view through
the wrong end of a telescope will occa
sionally bring out Important relations be
tween the different
parts of a land
scape that escape
attention when It
Is, looked at in the
ordinary way.
The topographic
atlas sheets, now
produced at the
rate of two new
ones a week by the
United States geo
logical survey, are
examples of the
effect of aeclne big
things on a re
latively small
seale. Before long the entire area of the
United States will thus be presented to
the eye, with all Its variations of level,
Its plains, river valleys, mountain chains,
range of hills, plateaus and canyons, so
correctly represented that, with a slight
effort of the Imagination, one seems to
be lppklng at the country through a huge
telescope turned wrong end to.
-There Is no comparison between or
dinary maps and charts of this kind.
With these topographic sheets before

the country through which his Imaginary

The BaokrYard Stock Farm
Today we are showing you three hats
.that express the latest manifestation of
"le dernier crl" from Paris. The hats
are worn by three charming French
actresses, and are quite the latest thing
from one of the smartest of the smart
French hat shops.
Mile. Marcelle Pralnce of the Varletes
shows us the new Idea called the "cabrio
let dip," and at the short-brtmmed side
her hat does reaemble the bowler, with
down'dropplng brim worn by the cabby
of Paris. The brim rolls up a hit at the
left front and widens to the proportions
of a shade hat at the right The model
Is bound at the edge with cerise satin
ribbon and the crown is covered with a
checker board made of Interwoven cerise
and white satin ribbon. A veil of soft
white shadow weave adds a softening
touch to this simple but fetching model.
Pretty little Arlette Oorgere of the
vaudeville theaters haa. covered her soft,
fluffy hair with a scoop-shaped hat on
bonnet lines. The circular brim is
formed of white straw, and there Is a
wee soft crown of pastel-ttucd satin,
which droops down In a long tassel at
the left shoulder. Caught at the line
where straw and satin meet, and follow
ing the line ot the satin tassel, is a
wonderful long spray of White paradise.
This is what the French call a "chapeau
du solr," and your trua Parisienne would
never dream of wearing It except in a
theater box or at the restaurant, or for
some such fashionable evening occasion.
Uicienne duett of the Theater Michel
wears a daring big black hat with rare
distinction. This extreme shape Is very
becoming to the woman whose well ar
ranged hair softens the contours of the
long, flaring left side. At the back and
toward the right this wonderful shape
of black mllan frames milady's face
most alluringly. A magnificent spray of
white paradise Is caught at the extreme
point of the lengthened brim and falls
toward front and back In a soft cascade.

foxes make their holes; the sloping fields
of hilly farms; sunken dells, and laps of
land encircled by crescent-shaped ridges,
where, every time the soil is new
ploughed, Indian arrowheads may yet
be picked up all these things stand out
in the charts almost as distinctly as in
the real scene.
The secret of these maps lies in their
"contour lines." Through every point
having a given elevation above the chosen
base level, which may be the bed of tho
nearest large river, a continuous line is
run, following all the natural curves of
the land'. Then every point that s either
twenty feet higher of twenty feet tower
)s connected by another parallel tine.
Where the slope Is steep ths lines crowd
together; where there are broad areas
having nearly the same level the lines
are widely spaced; where hills of pre
cipitous banks exist the contour lines
bring them out as in a picture looked at
from, above.
It dots not require mors than ten min
ute s study to accustom the eye to Inter
pret the information thus conveyed. All
the roads and crossroads are shown; all
the farmhouses and barns, all the vll
tage streets, and with one of these ohartu
before him a driver or chauffeur would
be stupid indeed if he could not find his
way and know In advance tho lie of the
land and the general character ot the
road far ahead ot htm.
On some of the charts where the levels
change but slightly, as in the Mississippi
delta, the contour lines show every varia
tion of five feet and all sloughs and
swampy places are shown, whllehhe scale
of the charts, in many, cases, 'issuch tfiut
every inch If paper corresponds to a half
mile on the land. 'But In' hilly regions
jtwenty-foot contours and often' flfty-fon
contours are sufficient, with a' scale of
one or two miles to the Inch.
Tills sclentlflo mapping of the earth's
face Is a thoroughly modern achievement,
and Is one of the most Important 'woks
that any government can perform,' It re
quires but a Utile thought to discover
Its innumerable practical applications, .in
France, and elsewhere in Europe, army
officers are required to obtain, by the aid
of such charts, an Intimate knowledge of
all the lands that they may have to de

where the strategic points ahoad of them

The Boy Who is-Soing-4;o-BeMamed-,fi
the state of the
spirited, tireless.
By ADA PATTERSON
A bo'y who . Ih going to bo married has
told me about It. Ho Is a tall, narrow,
muscular lad' ot the sort that Gibson
likes to draw. Ho has a wealth of long
legs and of thick,
Jungle- like fair
hair, and eyes
that, decpsef and
g r a y b I u e. may
sometime g r p w
shrewd and a, bit
hard, but Just now
are ot lakollke can
dor, and full of
happy dreams.
There Is a1 prom
ise of a superb
manhood in -the boy
who Is 22 and still
crude and awkward
an a. colt that Is a
bit unsteady on Its
legs, hut that
everyday Is nen'rlng
heavy boned, strong
steady-going horso.
I haven't seen the girl, but of course
he tells me there Is no girl on earth who
Is In nny respect her equal. His mother
doesn't want htm to marry. His father
has offered to pay him tho equal of a
yenr's salary If the youth will wait a
yesr. The boy won't wait and this is
tho reason he gave me,
"She is the right kind of a girl. " Last
year and the year before I only workod
long enough and hard enough to pay
for a vocation, I had no Interest In
life except In enjoying myself. On my
lost vacation I met her and four days
after we met, I proposed anil she said:
'You must go to work und prove yoursetf.
If you turn out to bo the man I think
you are I will marry you,' "
The boy has been working steadily, has
worked overtime. In the evenings, lias
saved hts salary, and Is saving ' trading
stamp to buy the .family stiver. It
setms a fair start on the road to suc
cess and happiness. Will he reach the
goal? It depends. In very large part upon
the girl.
Usually It's a bit tiresome, even Irri
tating, to hear the failure or success
of a man laid at the door of a. woman.
Usually the charge' Is untrue, and It Is a
common, though not a universal truth,
that a man wo'rth "making" himself and
that the sort that bears the stamp ot
woman, Isn't much deeper than the trade
mark. But here's a boy whose, feet have
been placed In the beginning of the right
path. He seeds nothing, except that the
girl, who, starting with her hand in pis
on the seme path, keep pace with him.
That U all. It sounds so little and' Is
so big an undertaking. I with the girl
who will start on the path in the autumn
