Thinking of one thing all day long, at
night
I foil asleep, brain weary and heart
tore;
But only for a little while. At three,
Sometimes at two o'clock, I wake and Ho,
Btarlrig out Into darkness; while my
'thoughts
Begin the weary treadmlll-toll again,
From that white marrlago morning of
pur youth
Dowri to this dreadful hour:
) I see your face
lit .with the lovellght of the honey
moon: I hear your voice, that lingered on my
.name
As If. it loved each letter; and I feel
The "clinging of your arms about by
form,
Your kisses on my cheek and long to
break
The anguish, of such memories with
.tears,
But iannot Weep; the fountain has run
."dry.
We were so young', so happy, and so full
Of keen sheer. Joy of Ufo. I had no wish
Outside your pleasure; and you loved
me so
That when I sometimes felt a 'woman's
rieed
For ' more serene expression of man's
Jove
(Thajjneed of rest In calm affection's
bay
And 'not sail ever on the stormy main).
Yet would I rouse myself In your desire;
Meet ardent kiss with kisses just as
Warm;
Bo nothing I could give should be do
lled. if
And then our children came. Deep In my
soul,
;From the first hour, of conscious mother-
. "hood,'. i ' t
,1 knew I should conserve myself for this
-Most holy office; knew God meant It so.
1 Yet even then, r held your wishes first:
.And by my double duties lost the bloom
,And freshness of my beauty; and behold
v,.A look of disapproval In your eyes.
t .
But with the coming of our precious
' ' child.

The Indian Maid

She went away for two or' three days,

She's brown', is the maid, and slender,,
and she wears

you don't have to

on her broad west

that the maid is

But when I wept too long you turned
awny.
And I was hurt, not realizing then
My grief was selfish. I could seo the
chango
Which motherhood and sorrow made In
me;
And when I saw the, chango that came to
you,
Saw how your eyes looked past me when
you talked,
And when I missed tho love tone from
your voloo,
I did that foolish thing that women do:
Complained and cried, accused you of
neglect,
And made myself obnoxious In your
sight.
And often, after you had left my side,
Alono I stood before my mirror, mad
With anger at my pallid cheeks, my dull
Uullghted eyes, my shrunken mother
breasts, And wept, and wept, and faded more and
more.
How could I hope to win back wander

And make new-flames in dying embers
leap .. .
By such ungracious means?
And then She came,
Firm bosomed, round of cheek, with
such young oyes,
And all the ways of youth. I who had

A thousand deaths in waiting the return

Died yet again and went straight Into

When I beheld it como at her approach.
My Cod, my God, how have I borne It
all!
Yet since she had tho power to make
that look
The power to sweep the ashes from your
heart
Of burned-out love for me, and light new
. . fjres,
One thing remained for me to let you go.
I had no wish to keep the empty frame
From which tho priceless plcturo had
been wrenched.
Nor do I blame you; It was not your
fault;
You gave me all that most men can give
love
Of youth, of beauty, and of passion: and
I gave you full return; my womanhood
Matched well your manhood. Yet had
you grown 111,
Or old, and unattractive from somo
cause,
(Less close than was my service unto
you)
I should have clung tho tighter to you,
dear;
And loved you, loved you, loved you
more and more.
I grow so weary thinking of these things;
Day in, day out; and half the awful
nights.

Beauty Secrets of Beautiful Women
A Host of Valuable Hints from Joso Collins.
By LILIAN LAUFEBTV.
About the hardest work I know Is Just
being a beauty. For there Is the ever
present dread that If you relay eternal
vigilance, your greatest atoclt-ln-tradc
will diminish and dwindle to nothingness!
On the other hand, If you are merely on
tho way to the acquisition of beauty, any
little trace ot loveliness you acquire is
net gain.
However, queenly Jose Collins of the
Zlegfeld Follies of 1813 refuses to worry
about the ravages of time or avolr
dupolH. "If I get fat, I get fat," sold she
with complacent conviction; "I refuse to
worry nbout It, and to lay In a supply of
wrinkles and gray hair and insomnia
dulled eyes. The women In New York
have gone mad on tho subject, and they
would probably look far better fat and
cheerful than with the haunted-by-the-fcar-of-another-pound
look they all wear.
"I ent sparingly In hot weather, be
caure then I don't feel warm and loggy.
I breakfast on hot water and figs, and I
eat fruit and salads without oil In great
quantities. , That keeps my system clear
jvnd liijgood working order. I never-ent v
hot foods in summer, for that would
mean putting In some Intarnal heat when
we are sufficiently bathed In the warm
atmosphore. I keep a watch on my sys
temIf It grows tired, or poisoned by
some food that was not all It should have
been, why, I live on some sort of fer
mented milk product some of the lactlo
acid drinks that put me in swoet, healthy
trim aoqn again. Kvery one ought to bo
her own diet expert.
"I've another notion, If you core to
hear it every woman ought to be her
own manicure oxpert, too. Beautiful
hands arc Improved by pink, smooth,
shell-like nails with neat half-moons and
white tips. Lay In a supply of rounded
orage wood stlckB, somo cuticle remover,
a cuticle food, a buffer, a flexlblo file,
one of the standard polishing pastes, and
a nail bleach for removing stains from
under the nails. Spend five minutes with
the nailo night and morning, training
thorn Into shapely, smooth cleanliness,
and seo what splendid results you get
this would be my advice to all girls.
"Cold cream to make the hands smooth;
careful drying to keep them so, and n.
little stretching and pulling and patting
Into long, graceful lines will make the
ugliest hand more attractive. And if a
fairly pretty hand is scrupulously smooth
and dean, and Is tipped by smoothly
rounded pink nails with no soil or Jagged
cuticle to mar their, outlines, it will bo
sure to give the Impression of being very
pretty Indeed."
"Every woman her own diet expert
and manicurist," I mused. "Then, Miss
Collins, you . may think also that every
woman should be her own hair dresser
and an expert on the care of tho hair,
too."
"Indeed I do." agreed the dark-eyed
beauty whose wonderful voice and de
lightful acting are two of tho charms
she adds to merely appearing In glowing
radiance on the stage. "I think every
girl can train her hair In the way It
should go-I think it well worth time and
patience to learn how to take care of
your hair.
"And I think a girl should find a
simple, pretty and becoming stylo of
hair-dressing and stick to It. It Is
not fair to train the hair In one direction
and then go yanking It off into some
other way. A water wave can be put Iri
and oven straight, lanky hair taught to
look fluffy and pretty.
"Just after your next shampoo press
your still damp hair into waves with,
your fingers and pin the waves Into
place, and with the waves stilt pinned,
allow the hair to get perfectly dry," pinch
these same waves into place morning
and evening with a bit of hot water to
add stability to the hair as It dries. Of
course, this woh't make naturally curly
hair but it will give a pretty fluffy looK
to locks that might otherwise be an Imi
tation 00 seaweed.
"If your hair is too long or too thick too
the children will get along all right."
said she. 'The neighbors will look after
them for a day or so."
And the next day when the -womai
who visited went away she was surprised'
because none of us went to ee ner oft
and she said quite seriously that she
didn't see why she had such bad luck
with servants. Hhe never coutd get one
she could trust, she said.
And the brown girl's dark eyes were
wide with' wonder and surprise.
"flho Is strange to me, that woman,"
she said. "How could she believe 1
would go with her and leave the children
here alone and I'm left with them?"

Poor woman who visited, how can sh
think che will ever find fidelity, she who
values It so lightly?
Moneyl That's all she knows and sh

When the woman who went away oam

Loyalty to the
Duty the School Boy Owes to the
Teacher, to Himself and to the School
By DU. C. H. rAUKHUUST
Oight n schoolboy to "tell on" his mato
when nsked to do as by the teacher? Is
tho prejudice against what Is called
"tattling" Justifiable? Is the question one
that has two stiles to It?
This mntter has
recently been tils- s -s.
cussrd by ono of
our local maga
zines and opinions
solicited from out
s' do parties.
Ilepllcs received
are almost utiunl
irons In their ver
dict that the tencher
ought not to mako
any such demand
of a pupil, and
eighty out of a
hundred claim that
the boy ought not
to yield to tho de
mand when made.
Such degree of
unanimity deserves considerable respect,
for tho ropllcs were evidently rendereU
by thoughtful people.
Among boys themselves a tattler Is
held In universal contempt, nnd a boy's
si-nse of honor Is not a thing to he
lightly regarded.
At the same time tho fact that twenty
out of the hundred expressed the directly
contrary view would seem to indicate
that there Is something worth considering
thnt can be said on the other side. At any
rate, there, can be no harm in having
both sides presented.
The conception that the average school
boy has of the schoolroom situation Is
thnt It is a kind of tug of war, In which
tho teacher pulls nt one end of the rops
and the entire body of pupils at tht
ether.
In old-fashioned district schools, espe
cially In the winter term, the first
day of tho session was regularly de
voted to determining whether tho plat
form end or th desk end of the school
room was to ntlei.
Although tho tension between the two
parties Is at present less extreme than
formerly, yet there are the remains of It
still, and I have & distinct recollection
of how it was when I was a pupil and
still more definite remembrance of Its
presence in the schoolroom when I wbb
myself teacher in the primary, depart
ment. Barring exceptions, the prevailing sen
timent In the schoolroom is that the
teacher Is legitimate prny and that any
advantage that can be gained over him,
any scheme by which he can be out
witted, lies distinctly within the rights
of the pupils, and Is to bo credited to
their sagacity.
The two are working at cross pur.
poses, or, at any rate, with distinct pur
poses,
The teacher has upon his heart the In
terosts of tho school.
That cannot be said of tho pupils. It
Is no caro ot theirs whether their
mates get their lessons or do not get
them, whether they behave or misbe
have. Thero is no esplrlt de corps wide

Your mothers are so old that your time

If either of you failed In your duty you
would live to regret It. Unless you can
marry and take your mothers with you,
which is not advisable, postpone your
marriage till you can enter It feeling that
your happiness Is not purchased with an

not co-opcrant to tho achievement of a
common success. It Is ono institution,
but tho two elements are consciously
distinct from each other.
When, therefore, a pupil makes a good
recitation the teacher Is gratified, but
the rest of tho pupils do not care. Whon
one pupil breaks n rule or creates somo
stealthy disturbance tho teacher Is
troubled, but the other pupils are not
troubled.
They feet no responsibility for tho
order ot tho school ob a whole. It is
tho teacher that keeps school and they
feel under no obligation therefore to
help him koep It.
It is his school, they say, not theirs;
so that It ho has difficulty In discover
ing who created the disturbance, the
position thoy toko Is that it is no part
of thnlr business to help him find out.
That Is not the altltudo that gov
ernment takes In ferreting out the
authors of social crime. In tho relations
ot common life wo are all reckoned as
responsible for tho maintenance of good
order.
If. therefore, a crime Is committed, any
man who is presumed to know anything
as to the guilty party Is ordered upon
tho witness stand nnd compelled to toll
under oath all that he knows about It.
Ho Is obliged to turn Informer, and It
In Just that he should be, for we aro
all or us a part ot the government, with
responsibility, therefore, dovolvlng upon
us Individually. My thought is that the
name principle should obtain in the
schoolroom, and that the school should
be conoelved ot as a corporate insti
tution In which the boys at their desks,
as well as tho teacher at his, should con
sciously share In the promotion of a
common Interest, In the encouragement
of the Ufo of the school, whether as re
lates to culture or couduct.
In which caso every Instance of un
faithfulness In study and of disloyalty
in conduct wilt be felt by all who are
studious and bobaved as a reflection
upon thsmselves, because a reflection
upon their school, and therefore to be
resisted and avenged, not as on inter
ference with the rights of the culprit,
nor as an intrusion into the providence of
the teacher, but In fulfilment of obli
gations devolved upon pupils and teacher
alike, because Joint members of a com
mon organization.
If I were to tench school nrdn 1
would start In by laying down the prin
ciple Just .stated, and would Insist upon
every pupil conjoining with me In main
taining, in every way in his power, the
educational life and the moral principle

extent the character of a republlo in
which each. Is responsible for all and all
