TOR WOMEN FOLKS. 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 alimony. 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, U. S.

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 nine attributes, Mill!B SOI? Many Creditois Said to be Looking lor him. LEFT ROME FOR TEXAS. 1 Mrs. Hewell and Children Still Here. His Friends say That he Is Involved hut Will Return. 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. 0.. the other hand Mr. Howells 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 -1 tive called on The Thompson Hiles 1 Co. and Walter Coker and learned . from these gentlemen that the ru mor that they were heavy loosers is not based on facts. Each firm is fully protected. 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 or of his Father. 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 table near at hand It is securely 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; the operators outside the room then ■ begin to swing the room if 8 slf, which > is really a large box journaled on tie swung bar, starting it oft to c >rrcg THE PARKS,STORE I NEW GOODS Our Enormous Trade Forced us to buy them, But not till Manufacturers cut Values in two to Clear out Summer Styles.
