And then the wild contagio'i of the style

,There, is a ureat Uck of Independence

Like a true flock of sbeep women follow
the standard act up by a new fuaiilon.
And since most styles are neither modeBt

a freak flock of black sheep.
Are there no girls who dare be white
sneep in a black flock? Are there no
prlrls who dare refuse to wear unbecom

on the styles Instead of weakly allowing
the styles to rule their personalities?
V real Pet once gave his attention to
the panorama of fashion and put the
proper way to meet it simply and well.
Said he: "Be not the first by whom the
new Is tried, nor yet the-last to cat tt)

That Is Indeed an excellent attitude to
take toward the new styles, Mitjt must
b added by judgment as to whr.t of the
new to adopt.
Till women, short women, thin women
and plump hav all joined the cult of the
tunic. How can it be that every woman,
icgardless of length, breadth or thick
ness will look equally well in an over

knees and ankles above an underskirt
that Is tight enough about tho feet to

Advice to Lovelorn)
A told Del iik m Trouble Maker.
licar Miss Kairfax: I am a young
lady. Several years ago I was very good
friends with a young man about the
SHmp age. tie told mo that he loved inn.
ile went out of town, llo was married.
About two months , ago I met him with
in wife and child, and he asked me
several times to call. 1 would like to
send a present for his child before I go
up. Mo you. think It 'would make his
wife jealous, as his wife knows I was
a frif-nd'. CoN'TlN I Ol"S KKADUK.
If the wife secuuded the bucband's
invitation fur you to call. It would be
proper to go. You can rave no real re
gard for a man who simply disappeared
from your life after telling you he loved
you, so I should most assuredly not send
a present to ,his child. You will . only
theapen yourself in .bis eyes and those
of his Wife, as well. .Why should she be
jealous of you? Hio Is the woman he
chose and you are the one he slighted.
X'on't give him another opportunity to
think lightly of you. As I said, it would
bo proper for you to call but only if the
wife asked you.
Keep llolb ts Friends.
Dear Miss Fairfax: J am a girl of 17.
and there ure two buys, both one year my
senior, whom J like Very much. But I

All that there is In the wcrlu. today
that Is great and good was given to us
by rebels.
Rebellion is the first principle of pro
grere, and without
It progressive
rlv Hi nation would
bo impossible.
Your rebel rises

the dream of better
tl'Ir.gH, is hanged
tor IiIh audacity,
and, by ull rave
tho few, la clean
Ijforgotten; but the
dream uvea on, re.
coming stronger
and stronger, wins a larrrer and still
larger number of friends, and by and by
receives its splendid vindication.
The rebel who was hanged has monu
ments erected to his memory, and the
polltlcsj, religious or tconomlc heresy
for tho preaching of which he was exe
cuted like a felon becomej the revered
goeipei of mankind. '
; One of such rebels wus Nathaniel
bacon, the young Virginian, who for tha
first time on American soil, threw down
the gauntlet to organised tyranny and
; drew the sword in defense oi the popu-
lur rights.
Bacon had good blood in l;ls veins.
His father. Thomas Bacon, of Krlston
Hall. Suffolk, was a kinsman of tho
great Jxird lJacon. Ills mother was the
daughter of a Suffolk Kr.igh', Hir Robert
Brooke. The chorsxter and abilities -of
the young man were so high thai almost
Immediately: after his arrival in America
he was given a scat In the council and
looked up to as ono '-ho might safely
be entrusted with thn largest responsi
bilities. .
The seiuel proved '.hat Me popular
confidence Was not misplaced.
In tho spring of tho year P'u a band
of. Indians pounced down upon the Vir
ginian planters, and out of the depreda
tions of tho redskins grew "Uacon's
Rebellion," the first armed opposition
to royal authority nnd misrulo on the
North American continent.
Young Bacon, at the head of the
mounted farmers of the section, set out
after the savaaTes, but was ordered to
j dispense by Governor Berkeley, the man
whom King cnariea nimsen caiieu an
"old fool."
Bacon "disfersed" but not until he
bud given the redskins a terriblo thrash
ing. Iter on Bacon was arrested, on the
ground that he had had "no commission"
while dealing with the Indians. Berkeley
was willing to have U settlers mur
jdered rather than have them saved by a
I man 'without a commission" that is to
'jay, without a ' commission signed by
himself.
In the ineantlma the Indians, paying
no attention to the qulbhlii.gs of the
governor, began to re-iew their depreda
tion. With (lie ferocity that was troubled
by no nice distinction ab.iul mercy or
justi'-e, they played ha"Oc with the lives
and property of the u hltej and it besnn
to look us It the day af "doom was close
at hand.
HomVthlng had to'ie done, ,and Bacon
mado up his mind to adtconimlstilon or
no comnilaslon.
Effecting his cscupo from the detention
to which he hod been nubjected by the
stupid governor, Bacim hastily raised a
body of men. six hundred strong, marched
straight on Jamastown, threw his de
flu nee in the face of the governor, and
turning his attention td the savages dealt
them the blows that cent them reeling
from, the scenes of their devastations
and cruelties.
Of course Berkeley v. a. grcally' shocked
ut .Dacqu'a action. ' Alnd a:, a March
hare, the irate old governor proclulmed
Bacon a "rebel" and launched against
him all Ihe thunders of royal ' arsenal.
Bacon had saved the people, but ho had
dared to do this without the sanction
and asslstanco of the king's representa
tive, aud for that crime he was outlawed.
"I am In over my shoes," exclaimed
Bacon upon hearing of tho governor's
proclamation, 'and I will soon be In over
my lung boots." Ills beautiful young
wife was as resolute' as himself, and
kissing her huaband the said to him:
"Btand firm for the light. As for myself,
I care no more for the royalty of Eng
land thun I do for a broken straw."
Inspired by his wife's kiss and the
consciousness of the ccinpleto Justice of
his cause, Bacon mads his second march
on Jamestown, defeated tiovernor Berke
ley's forces, and laid the twwu in ashes.
To be perfect is a privilege that nature
grunts to no man, and llucop was not
perfect. It is a pity that in destroying
the oli. town his rashness got the better
of his Judgment; but every whole man
realizes how hard It Is at times to keep
a - noble enthusiasm within tho bounds
of decorum.
With the destruction of Jiimcstowti
and his forces wiped out, with the spirit
of revolt everywhere and the very founda
tions of the roynl .intimity Bhuken up
as by an rarthipiaKe, the governor was
fairly at -his wlt'a eni.
But Bacon's work was luoli.ly Hearing
Its close. The polsono w miliaria germs
of the. low, flat religion were al work
In tho powerful fritm of the daring
young rebel, and on the flint day of
October, IffTC, Natha.ll il Bacon was dead.
There was no ono in the Old Dominion
big enough and br.tve eno'.gh to . take
the dead man's place, ind the rebellion
was over.
With the master tplrlt of the revolt
laid low In death, Berkeley suddenly be
came very bold, and returning from
the royal vesacl to which Bacon 'had
driven him, he began tha work of "get
ting even" with the men who had dared
to aid In the overflow of h's ullgarchlcul
rule.
But Bueon's splr.t lived on Berkeley
could not kill that f.id J:e hundred

A and II had an argument or. time of
day and night. A says night ends at 1U
P. in., B aays It luU till hi. rise. Who
is right ? A and B. .
B 1 rlK In. Tho contusion arises from
the fact that we muke eacli tew "day"
b'-Kln in the middle, of the l.'ght, or at
midnight. Tho term day unfortunately
has two different ,
signification.-!, both
of which ure In c oin
' limn tise.
I'lrst day means
t ho period of
twenty-four hours
which the earth
takes in making a
Single turn on Its
axis. This ought to
bo Its only mean
ing, and it is the
one usually em
ployed. Hut day has
also a second mean
ing in popular lan
guage, vlx . the period of daylight, or
that during which tin tun shluas, or the
tlmtT between' sunrise and sunset. In
this sense day .is contrasted with night,
the latter being tfia period of darkness
between sunsat .and .sunrlue, or the time
dining which the, .sun let' not visible.
I nllke "lUy," - the - lerni' "night" has
