MEMORY* DREAM.
WRITTEN FOR THE BtTNDAT HUSTLER OF ROME.)
The moonlight lay upon the plain,
The mocking bird poured forth its strain;
Beyond the still and glassy lake
His lay the sleeping echoes wake.
1 wandered forth in pensive mood
Along the paths beside the wood;
The thronging cares that day had brought
No time had left for brooding] thought,
And now the influence of the night
Put all my present cares to flight-
Fond recollections took me back
To traverse o'er lifes beaten track—
The sunny gleams that life hail known
The darkened hour when joy had flown.
I dreamed of childhoods sunny hour,
When fancy built her fairy Jiower,
Where bright auetclpations spell,
With hope, her slstyr, loved to dwell;
Or recklessly would try to roam
he shadowy realms of the unknown.
But as.times sure and steady flight
O're these fair visions laid his blight
(Castles I had built so fair
Forgetting that they stood ou air.)
I thought of friends to memory dear,
Through shifting scenes of life sincere;
Remembrance brought them one by one,
As though an albums clasp undone
Revealed to me the fair behest
In forms that memory loved the best.
Where are they now? On Life’s wild sea
Some I have loved are lost to me,
The bounding waves, in wanton play
Our bounding barque may bear away.
Still near to its destined mart,
Leaving another far apart
That, not so blithly, nor so light,
Can brave the ocean's billowy might.
’Tis so we stem the tide of life,
Losing each other in the strife.
Minnie Lee Arnold.
A SHATTERED HDOL,
Each week I saw him take an X
And put it in a letter,
And mail it, And for that I own
pr; I liked him all the better.
I thought of some dear country home.
A patient mother bearing
A burden lightened by the thought
Tliat he for her was caring.
His surly waysand hardened face
1 easily forgave him,
Because of this, his weekly gilt,
Cue virtue that could save him.
But, oh, alas 1 One fateful day
In asking for a loan he
With anawuful oath declared he must

SHE NEEDED NO ASSISTANCE
It was on the trip to Bay Ridge,
and the evening was rapidly grow
ing darker. She was not more
than 17 or IS years old, extremely
pretty, with a slender, graceful
figure, large gray eyes and a well
shaped mouth.
The boat was near the end of its
journey, when a young man, rath
er flashily dressed, stalked up and
took a seat very near her. When
he spoke to her she turned with a
little start.
“I beg your pardon,” he said,
with a smirk, “but may I ask you
a question?”
She looked at him, but made no
answer.
“I should like to ask you a ques
tion, he said, pausing again, as if
expecting some encouragement.
Every one seemed to feel that the
young woman was perfectly capa
ble of taking care of herself. She
was looking at him steadily, with
a little ind 'scribable smile around
her mouth, which could not be
mistaken.
“I wanted to ask you,” he said
hesitatingly and beginning to look
very uncomfortable, “if you had
any objections to my sitting
here?”
She half turned away as if his
conversation were ended.
“D<> you mind,” he said, “if
I—”
She turned slowly and gave him
another look, It was very calm and
unperturbed, but there was an
unspeakable meaning in the glance.
He got up and sneaked away. She
had. not spoken a word.
She turned with no sign of emo
tion, and, leaning her elbow on
the rail so that her hand rested on
a pretty cheek, looked at the lights
down the bay, as if she were en
joying the lovely evening.

HOW TO H NG A HAMMOCK.
Now that the time for using the
hnmmosk out of doors is near at
hand the toilowing old rule for its
proper adjust moot will bear re
printing •
The bead end should be 6 1-4
feet from the ground and the toot
end 3 3-4 feet—a curve which se
cures to the occupant the greatest
ease of position. Next the rope
which fastens the head end should
be less than 12 inches long, while
that which attaches foot should
be 4 1 2 feet. The object of this ar
raugeinent is to give thejlower part
of the body freedom in swinging
while the head remains almost sta
tionary.
Ropes with metal catches are
now for sale which makes the la
bor of hanging a hammock very
slight ;and where trees are used as
supports they should be well pro
tected with heavy canvass or cloth
as the friction is sure to cause in
jury to the bark in tune. —Harpers
Bazar.

NO 11WI< i lAN COOKING“ST()VE
During the hist manuvers in
Russia experiments were madewith
Norwegian cooking stoves, the ob
ject is to provide the troops on the
march, within the least possible
space of time, with warm food.
The apparatus used was the oidi
nary camp kettle fitl.u into a thick
fell covering.
The soup or brew being placed
in the kettle is raised to the boil
ing point, ami then removed from
the fire, the lid clamped down, the
kettle inserted in the eheath, and
the whole slung in the usual man
ner below the wagon . The pro
cess of stewing continues automat
ically,’thanks to the heat retained,
and even after several hours
marching the temperature does
not fall below 100. —Journal R,

STRENGTH IN WOMEN FASH
IONABLE
“There is no doubt,” writes Mrs
Fenwick Miller in the London Young
Woman, “that women have a great
deal more stamina and strength than
we have been led to suppose. In
deed, the contrast is great between
the girl of today and the old idea of a
woman as a fragile, helpless creature,
and the notion that once Held ground
that health, strength, a good appetite
and the capacity to bear fatigue were
unwomanly and among the many
prerogatives of the other sex, has
been more signally overthrown by the
women of today than even the other
ancient standing idea of the
hopeless intellectual inferiority.
“Good Dr. Gregory, in the last
century, when ho wrote a manual of
•Advice to His Daughters,’ that was
so much approved as to become a
text book of conduct for our great
grand-mothers as girls, told them
that they should carefully conceal the
possession of good health and never
talk of their strength and capacity to
bear fatigue, for if they were thought
to be well and strong,‘we recoil from
them in away they are ajlittle aware
of- ’ Dear mo! How very silly those
recoiling great grandpapas of ours
appear to us today!
“Our far more sensible young mon
have learned that good health and
strength of physique among women
mean good temper, good company
and a capacity to bear up the wo
man’s end of the log of life withou
murmuring at the hardships and witht
out a final lapse into invalidism,
So they do not recoil from the
strong and healthy girl any more,and
she on her part has taken full advant.
age of the change of sentiment, and
has set herself successfully to prove
that health and strength really mean
increased refinement and grace' in
stead of a loss of those precieus femi

Where is Sam Howell “at”?
Thats a question that seems to
find no satisfactory answer for the
interested questioner.
Mr. McCollum, of Cave Spring, a
brotherinlaw ot Sam.was in the city
yesterday and is said to have been
1 very warm over the disappearance of
the well known young man.
It seems that Mr Howell owes Mr’
• McCollum quite a snug sum of mon
ey from the Howell estate—that he
has slashed the timber ami sold the
wood off of the old homestead, mort
, gaged the growing crops and departed
, those coasts,
It is claimed that he owes eve
ry body in Floyd county who
would trust him and that since his
departure last Sunday his family
have been selling off their house
hold goods.

friend claim that he has only gone
to Texas on a visit and that he
will return toßome and straighten
out his affairs here.
A Husler of Rome representa

. from these gentlemen that the ru
mor that they were heavy loosers
is not based on facts. Each firm

Sam Howell is well known in
this city and was one of the most
influential citizens of Howell’s
district, which was named in hon

IN THE HAUNTED SWING.
SENSATION OF THE RAZZLE DAZZLE
ORDER.
Any one who has ever,while sitting
in a swing thought how delightlul i t
wou’d be to whirl iu a circle com
pletely above and around the swing’s
points of supports may now enjoy
that sensation on payment of so much
an enjoy. For Amariah Like of
Pleasantville,N.J. has recently patent
ed a device termed |'thc haunted
swing which imparts to its passen
gers this remarkably peculiar feeling.
Mr. Lake’s swing does not really
gyrate, but it is operated so as to
make its|posaesor believe it does re -
volve, and the fact that a person
even forewarned who sits in the
swing cannot detect the delusion is
what makes the device particularly
interesting.
Those who are to sit in the swing
are ushered into a small room. From
a bar crossing the room, near the
ceiling, hangs a large swing, which is
provided with seats for a number of
people. After the people have taken
their places the attendant pushes the
car and it starts into oscillation like
any other swing. The room door is
closed Gradually those in it
after three oj four movements that
their swing is going rather high, but
this is not all The apparent ampli
tude of the oscillations increases more
and more, until presently the whole
swing seems to whirl completely over
describing a full circle about the bat
on which it hangs To make the
thing more utterly mysterious, the
bar is bent crank fashion, so that
it seems demonstrably impos
sible for the swing to pass between
the bar aud the ceiling. It continues
to go round and round this way. im
part’’ng a most weird sensation to the
occupants.
Tne room is as completely xnruish
ed as possible, everything being, of
course, fastened in place, What is ap
parentlyja kerosene lamp stands on a

fastened to the table,a nd in a few
seconds, as the children say, “the old
cat dies.” The door of the room is
open and tile swinging party leave
Those who have tried it say the sen
sation is most peculiar and the de
ception perfect.
The illusion is based on the move
ments of the room proper. During the
( entire exhibition the swing is practi
cally stationary, while the room ro
tates about the suspending bar.
At the beginning of operations the
swing may be given a slight push;
