FASHIONS
SLEEP. ,
O slep, we are beholden to thee, sleep,
Thou bcarest angels to us in the
night,
Saints out of heaven with palms.
Seen by thy light,
Sorrow is some old tale that goeth not
t <ieep:
Love is a pouting child. Once I did
sweep
Through space with thee, and, lo, a
dazzling sight— •
Stars! They came on; I felt their
drawing and might;
And some had dark companions. Once
(I weep
When I remember that) we sailed the
tide.
And found fair isles, where no isles
used to bide,
And met there my lost love, who said
to me
That twas a long mistake: he had not
died.
Sleep, in the world to come how
strange ’twill be.
• Never to want, never to wish for
thee! ^
—Jean Ingelow.
“Sleep! What a rich boon it is to
frail and weary men! It is one of God’s
purest acts of beneficence. He gives
what He never needs, what He never
takes. He sheds a sweet oblivion round
and round the world. Himself keeping
watch, while man and beast and bird,
and even, in a measure, bud and leaf
and blossom take their rest. Sleep! It
comes to the wet sea-boy in the rudest
hour, to the poor slave in the intervals
of his hopeless task, to the traveler in
the forest or on mountains, and—mar
vel of mercies!—to the sinner under the
heavy load of his sin.’ —Dr. Ra»eigh.
“Different matters are arranged in
• my head as in drawers. I open one
drawer and close another as I wish. T
have never been kept awake by an in
voluntary preoccupation of the nun<l.
Tf I desire repose, I shut up all the
drawers, and sleep. I have, always slept
when I wanted rest, and almost at
will.’’—Napoleon.
Bessie came to see me this month.
She liad a book she had enjoyed, and
wanted me to share her pleasure.
“Their Yesterdays/’ by\ Harold Bell
* Wright, is the title, atid I wish you
could come to see us and hear it read.
Some parts are.so good that as I read
it I put markers among the pages to
find th passages and reread them. The
heroine of the story had to work for
her living, and this is the way that it
was put: “There are many doors in the
life of these modern days at which a
woman may knock with hope of being
admitted; and this woman, as she sat
alone before her fire that night, paused
before them all—all save two.
Two doors she saw but did not* pause
before: and one of them was idleness
and pleasure. And one other door there
is that stands open wide so that there
is no need to knock for admittance. Be
fore ‘ this wide-open door the woman
paused a long time. It is older than the
other doors. It is very, very old. Since
the beginning it has never been closed.
But, though it stood open so wide and
'there was no need to knock for ad
mittance, still the woman could not en
ter, for she was alone. No woman may
enter that old, old open door, alone.
If you have not read the book and
want a clear insight into the lives of
men and women out in this work-a-day
world, get it. There is all the way
_ through it a faint suggestion of a love
9 «tory—just enough to keep you tempted
to turn to the last chapter and see if
they ever really married “and lived hap
py ever after.’’ There are thirteen truly
great things in life. I won’t tell you
what Mr. .Wright calls them. Some of
you Will be surprised to know some of
them are thus looked upon. Others will
say, “of course, I’ve always said that.”
This book is one of the few that you
may put on the same shelf with “The
Reveries of a Bachelor,” or your favor
ite poet, or George Eliot’s best. In
fact, there is a quaint touch about it
that takes one back to Dickens, too.
But I won't say any more about it
this time. -I hope that some of you
who have read something that has left a
bad taste in your mouth will send for
this to sweeten things. *. ’ \
thought stayed by me, or this question
clung to my mind, shouldn't we argue
out the matter that brings melancholy
and conquer it? If one’s life is not
along the lines of moderation and help
fulness, if one’s conscience upbraids
then change things. If it’s a physical
matter that causes the blues, try to get
ride of it. At any rate, let your motto
be—
‘Let me live in my house by the side
of the road'
Where the race of men go by.
They are good, they are bad, they are
weak, they are strong.
Wise, foolish—so am I.
Then why should 1 sit in the scorners’
seat,
Or hurl the cynics ban?
Let me live in my house by the side of
the road
And be a friend to man.”
Faithfully yours,
LIZZIE O. THOMAS.
This has been such a busy summer
there has not beep the usual amount of
reading. Then . my environment has
tempted fne to enjoy the spirit of the
woods, to listen to the whispering In
the trees, the twitter of the birds, the
songs of Mr. Mocker, the oriole and
thrush, to inhale the faint perfume that
the breezes brought and' simply enjoy
them instead of even my faithful book
friends.
There will be plenty of time in the
long winter evenings, beside the cosy
fire, to read. Boreas will have driven
the breezes away, the frost king will
have claimed a season and around the
cheerful fire the books will banish
loneliness and supply the mind with
food for another summer.
“When are you happiest?” was the
question put to me the other day. “Don’t
you long for -winter evenings when you
can sit down and enjoy a good book or
your favorite fancy work?”
I must confess that I seldom build
ai~ castles or long for the future. The
present is. the time that appeals to me.
It passes so swiftly that ere I do half
' the things that really belong to it, there
is another season on and changes must
be made. All of us should look before
and behind us enough to know that we
are doing the best we can, too much in
trospection is as bad as the thoughtless,
witless way that some have. I was
with a lady who was buying things for
her home. She picked up a framed quo
tation that I like very much. “This
can’t go in my walls,” she satd. “It
would give my husband the blues in no
time. I must get lively things.’’ The
A CHIEL'S AMONG YE TAKIN’ NOTES.
Dear Miss Thomson: 1 enjoyed Dorothy
Gray’s letter, but I had a hearty laugh over a
mistake that the printers made. She said that
she used peanut butter and potted beef in her
sandwiches and they put'It potted beer; seems
to me that the proof reader might have caught
such an error. I know of Mrs. Dorothy Gray,
and there never was even ’simmon beer in her
pantry much less potted beer, whatever that
might lie. A neighbor was talking about the
letter and said she was surprised at Mrs. Dor
othy Gray, the idea of her taking beer to a
picnic. I explained how easy it was to make
such a mistake in printing and the dear lady
was much pleased to have that explanation. But
Miss Thomas, ask Mr. Printer not lo put any
more beer in Our Household; it’s a mighty poor
substitute for beef, though many a man has
used Ids beef money that way.
That picnic sohudofi so alluring that I forth
with gathered my small nephews and nieces, as
well as little Jamec and Annie and off - we
went to a branch and played that we were on
the banks of a river. The men of the family
came later and we had some watermelons as
well as sandwiches and tea cakes. Of course,
the children got full of red bugs, that i6 one
of the usual incidents connected with a trip
to the woods, but I bathed them in salt and
water and the tiny creatures did not have time
to begin their deadly work, a good turpentine
soap will keep them from biting and we gen
erally take these precautions, for there are few
things worse than to be “clawed” By red hugs.
School begins this month and I will be both
glad and sorrv. We will have the same teach
er that we had last year. She is a fine woman
and is helping the whole community by helping
our children. We love her very much and hope
nothing but matrimony will ever Induce her to
leave us. That should be the sure end of every
woman, or so thinks
MRS". GRIFFITH.
20.000 SCHOOL KIDS
PLAY HOOKY IN CHICAGO
The Weather Was Too Fine on
the First Day, So Everybody
"Laid Out"
CHICAGO, Sept. 4.—With the ther
mometer at 97, about 20,000 children
“played hookey” yesterday, the first day
of school, according to estimates of ab
sentees. There was a gentle breeze
from the southwest that barely made a
ripple on Lake Michigan, and thousands
of youngsters of school age were playing
on the beaches and in the parks when
they should-have been getting acquaint
ed with their new teacher.
Despite the oppressive heat, the en
rollment was estimated at 300.000.
School authorities do not expect a full
enrollment until the arrival of cooler
weather within a week or two.
In the American districts, according
to Superintendent Ella Flegg Young, it
was noticed that many children were ab-
serit, while in the foreign quarters there
was practically a full registration.
Society Women Held
On Federal Warrant
CLEVELAND. Ohio, Sept. 4.—Arrest
ed at her home tit midnight and brought
to Cleveland eanly today, Mrs. Marga
ret A. Carter, an Alyria, Ohio, society
woman, is confined in the county jail
charged by federal authorities with
using the mails to defraud.
It is alleged that she wrote Miss Lil
lian Huntington, daughter of W. R.
Huntington, retired business man and
well known Great Lakes yachtsman,
asking for $3,000 under pain of having
her. fiancee, a young Cleveland club
man, taken from her.
In the letter she is alleged to have
represented herself as a young woman,
Miss Huntington’s fiancee had promised
to marry, suggesting that if the Elyria
society girl wanted the young man she
would have to pay the stipulated sum
or the writer would take hi mherself.
Miss Huntington is the granddaughter
of John Huntington, wealthy Cleveland
er, who on his death bed left $1,000,000
for an art museum, now being con
structed. i
Mrs. Carter, fifty years old, is the
wife of a retired tobacco manufacturer,
and had moved in the best circles in
Elyria. She maintains her innocence.

Mrs. Santee glanced at it courteously.

begun to turn the pages herself. “The

“Think of it!” mused the doctor,
seaching for another color plate. "Look
at this, Mrs. Santee. Just imagine how
; you’d look in it!”
“Mamma would look perfectly lovely
in that,” urged Rose, not qfcite under
standing what all this behavior was
leading up to.
“Would she?” the doctor scoffed.
“W r ell, she wouldn’t think of wearing it.

He changed his tone abruptly. “Bring

Mrs. Santee continued to look at the
journals. After the doctor had gone
she called Rose. “I wish, dear, you’d

Palmer came near being killed under
an automobile late yesterday, when the
big machine skidded, running into
ditch and pinioning him beneath the
steering wheel, where he was forced to
remain some time, when he finally suc
ceeded in getting his hand on a pistol
in the car, firing it off in efforts to at

Had it not been for the pistol, it is
beleved that the young man would have
been killed, as he was almost exhausted
when taken from underneath the car.

rom as well as luxury. And Mrs.
Santee lay at peace.
She had lain that way a long time.
An illness had put her in bed, but she
was no longer ill. She did not even
look ill. There was a faint flush on
her high cheek bones. Her hands had
a firm, healthy look as they lay re
laxed upon the counterpane. Her eyes
were closed.
Mrs. Santee had always been deli
cate. Moreover, because of this she
had always had her own way. When
she could not have her own way she
went to bed and inconvenienced her
household until she, got it. Rose could
see to everything downstairs. Faith
ful service was her rightful due in
return for having brought a great
strapping girl into the, world. And
while Rose was busy about her
mother’s person she was not like to
have much time to think about mar
riage. Mrs. Santee was determined
Rose should not marry. And the only
way she could work out her plan w’as
by. staying in bed and keeping Rose in
attendance upon her.
To be sure, she had to have a doc
tor in waiting. But she had been
very particular about her selection of
a doctor. None of the flippant, young
new school fellows for her, who would
make love to Rose the second time
they came. No; she had chosen Dr.
Gordon. He was forty and plain and
a woman hater. “The old grouch,”
she called him. Rose wouldn’t be
able to hatch up much romance about
“the old grouch.” He would not look
at Rose. So Mrs. Santee rested content
and enjoyed her long siesta.
The door opened gently and Rose en
tered. She had finished the morning’s
work downstairs and had come up to
see if her mother wanted anything,
xwoue was tall and slim, the kind of a
girl who looks best in a skimpy skirt
and severely tailored white shirt waist.
She had wavy black hair and dark
gray eyes and fine, sweet features. She
was not pretty, but she had an air of
style that was better than prettiness.
“Resting, mother?” Rose asked. She
went to the window, twitching a fold
of the curtain into place. On a distant
tennis,court a quartet of young people
were playing a brisk game. She could
hear their shouts and laughter, could
see the flash of the rackets in the sun.
And she sighed. There was where she
longed to be, not cooped up indoors with
a sick mother. Yet she knew what her
duty was and rebelled against it in her
mind occasionally.
Rose believed her mother was really
ill. With her own boundless young
strength and energy she could not un
derstand how anybody could stay in
bed through s ( uch lovely spring weather
as this without being seriously indis
posed. She could not think of any ca
lamity more fearful befalling one, es
pecially in springtime. For herself she
envied the vigorous young folks in the
tennis court. The strohg daughter of
a sick mother must use her strength in
one way, and that was to make sickness
less of a burden. Rose bent over and
kissed hep mother. “Dear, what can I
do for you?”
“Nothing—-nothing.” Mrs. Santee
shook her head. Her eyes fell shut. “I
just want to lie still. Ah, what’s that?”
She started violently.
“It’s only the door bell, mother. It
sounds louder because the house is so
still this morning. I will go down and
see waht it fs.”
Rose went downstairs swiftly. She
pulled open the door and there stood
the doctor. The old gUouch was just
as tall as Rose, but no taller. 1-Ie had
thick, sandy hair and a straight cut #
sandy mustache. His eyes were blue FinCIS Help III Lr r dl& E. Pinfa>

kindness, too, in them, though it did
not always get where it showed. Fie
had a determined mouth and fine
teeth. Take It all in all, it was the
solemn gloom of his expression more
than his features that made him
plain. But just now, at sight' of the
girl on the threshold, there was no
solemn gloom, only a young gladness
and eagerness.
They smiled at and greeted each
other and the doctor entered. He had
a parcel of magazines under one arm
and he drew them forth to show to
the girl.
“See here, Rose, what I’ve got,” he
said. He often brought her books and
magazines.
“For me? Oh ” Rose began, de
lighted, but he stopped her.
”No, these are for your mother.

what I brought for you.” He drew a

(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—An increase
of the- income tax on large fortunes
only when the incomes run above $250,-
000 annually, is the basis of a compro
mise Democratic members of the sen
ate finance committee will recommend
to the caucus tomorrow night. The
attitude of the so-called insurgent
Democrats today was such as to in
dicate they would not accept the ar
rangement without a fight, and the
caucus may extend two or three days.
The finance committee members have
decided to leave the rates of the in
come tax, as at present, up to the
$*150,000 mark.
The new taxes now proposed in ad
dition to the normal tax above the $3,-
000 maximum are 4 per cent addi
tional from $250,000 to $500,000, 5 per
cent from $500,000 to $1,000,000, and 6
per cent above $1,000,000. The senate
will adjourn at 5 p. m. tomorrow and
the Deocratlc caucus will then begin
its efforts to agree on the remaining
provisions of the bill.
It Is estimated there are 550 per
sons in this country with incomes be
tween $250,000 and $500,000, 350 with
incomes between $500,000 and $1,000,-
000, and more than 100 w r ith incomes
above $1,000,000.
The committee Democrats will recom
mend to the Democratic caucus that the
original provisions of the house bill
taxing the entire income of mutual in
surance companies be retained. The
finance committee had recommended
the exemption of that portion of the
income returned to policyholders in the
form of dividends.

tor spoke about is -really similar.”
The suit was the same. Rose took
the plate along to be sure. It was
very beautiful, she thought, and so she
told her mother. Mrs. Santee looked
excited and flushed. She sat up in bed
to talk about it. “And they’ve got the
dearest hat to go with it,” Rose cried.
“They showed it to me. And they tried
to get me to buy it.”
“You?” said Mrs. Santee. “You’d look
like a gypsy In.that color. Green was
always my color.” She thought rest
lessly for a moment. “Rose,” she com
manded, “you go to the plione and or

going to have it.”
Rose ordered the suit and hat to be
sent up. They ejame within an hour.
They were all the’y promised and more.
Mrs. Santee sat up in bed and had her
hair fixed so she could try on the hat.
Rose held a glass for her. The effect
was eminently gratifying. “JjVe a great
mind to see if I can’t try on the suit,”
she ventured.
It was two days before the doctoi
called again. Rose let him in, a pic
ture of happiness.

NORFOLK, Va., Sept. 4.—A severe
northeast storm swept the Virginia,
North Carolina and Maryland coasts to
day, with the wind reaching a maximum
velocity at Cape Henry early this morn
ing of forty-eight miles an hour from
the east. The four-masted coasting
schooner Richard F. C. Hartley, from
New York to Charleston, S. C., with salt,
which went ashore yesterday between
Bodies island and Cape Jiatteras, with
the loss of two members of her crew,
broke up in the high seas of today
and much oi the wreckage came asnore
along the coast. Captain Sprague, of
Stockton Springs, Maine, and the four
surviving members of the Hartley’s
crew were today being cared for by the
life savers of the Chicamicomic life
saving station, who effected their res
cue. The schooner Hartley was twenty-
five years old, having been built at
Batn, Maine, in 1888. She carried a
crew of seven men.
The storm raged with great severity
on this coast today and many sailing
vessels sought shelter in Hampton
roads. Tne v-esels of the Atlantic bat
tle fleet now in Hampton roads rode the
storm in perfect safety, but the blow
even in Hampton roads was the worst
of the present season. All incoming
Washington and Baltimore bay boats
had rough experiences during the nigiit
and other bay boats found it very severe
today.

he asked.
“I think you are a wonderful doctor.”
He picked up her hand, studied it a
moment and then her face. “Maybe

“You’re not the old grouch!” Rose
cried furiously. Then, as he drew her

She led the way. The doctor shuf- ; doctors having done you no good, do not
fled his stock of fashion journals, continue to suffer •without giving Lydia

trial. It surely has remedied many
cases of female ills, such as inflamma
tion, ulceration, displacements, tumors,
irregularities, periodic pains, backache,
and it may be exactly what you need.
The Pinkham record is a proud and
peerless one. It is a record of constant
victory over the obstinate ills of woman

tablished fact that Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound has restored
health to thousands of such suffering
women. Why don’t you try it if you
need such a medicine?

Rose?”
“No. Tell me, quick.”
She had drawn near him to peep at
the journals. The doctor looked at
her, at the young contour of her
cheek, at the way her dark, wavy hair
hid her ear, at the full curve of her
fresh mouth.
“I am going to cure your mother,
Rose. There are my means. Medicine

EXCELSIOR WONDER KNIFE
Worth Its Weight in Gold to Every
Farmer, Stockman and Sportsman
Every Knife Guaranteed
This is the handiest and best knife
ever manufactured.
The illustration shows exact size of
the knife. Besides the large blade,
which is two and three-fourths inches
long, this knife has a smaller punch or reamerl
blade two and one-eighth inches long, and cuts
round hole, any size, in leather, with ease.
Both blades are of finest tempered tool steel,
finely ground and polished. You have paid $1.0.0
or $1.50 for a knife not as good as this one.
The EXCELSIOR WONDER KNIFE is built for
practical use, not filled with Nic-Nacs, as is the
case with most combination knives. Especial care
is taken to make the knife sufficiently strong for
use of Farmers, Stockmen-, Teamsters and Sports
men. It is no more clumsy or awkward to carry
in the pocket than an ordinary three-foladed knife.
The Leather PuDch will be fojmd indispensable
for making various »sized holes in leather for
buckles, rivets, belt lacing, etc.
The Leather Punch acts as a swedging awl or
marlin spike when turned to the left; especially
adapted for use in lacing belts, untying knots, etc.
This knife is a marvel of mechanical ingenuity,
embodying every essential element, viz; Simplici
ty, Convenience, Durability, Smoothness and
Strength.
By special arrangements with the manufac
turers we are -getting this Knife at a price where
by we can give you one with one yearlv sub
scription to THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY
JOURNAL. This is the best bargain of the year.
