AT SUNSET.
It isn’t the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you've left undone,
That gives you a bit of heartache
At the setting of the sun,
The tender words forgotten
The letter you did not write.,
The flowers you might have sent, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts to-night.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brother's way,
The bit of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say.
The loving touch of the hand, dear.
The gentle and winsome tone
That you had no time or thought for,
With troubles enough of your own.
The little act of kindness,
So'easily out of mind;
Those chances to be angels
Which every mortal finds,
They come in night and silence,
Bach chill, reproached wraith,
When hope is faint and flagging
And a blight has dropped on faith.
For life is all too short, dear,
And sorrow is all too great,
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late,
And it's not the thing you do, dear,
It’s the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you the bit of heartache
At the setting of the sun.
—Margret E. Sangster, in Fraternal World.

DEPLORES JAZZ.
Blackfolds, Alberta, B. C..
January 10th., 1926
Dear Watchman: —
I have just been reading, for the
second time, your criticism of Paul
Whiteman’s band, and its music, and
I want to say that I heartily agree
with; you.
The jazz music of to-day is a re-
version to savagery. I lived among
the Indians long enough to know just
what nature of inspiration it has.
The Sioux danced to it until they
worked themselves into a frenzy, eyes
rolling; mouths foaming and finally
falling in a stupor.
The African savage dances to it
to-day. Beating drums, and tom toms
and rattling pebble filled gourds they
incite themselves to most bestial en-
deavor.
We are having a pleasant winter
here; from 25 degrees to 30 degrees
above at night and 40 degrees to 50
degrees in the day time. We have
good sledding, the best in the years,
and about eight inches of snow. This
is a fine country, the best of soil and
wonderful climate for so far north.
There is no better stock country than
this; we grow. the best oats in the
world and very fine rye and wheat.
I have pumpkins three feet long that
I grew last year and we have more
coal and oil than there is in Pennsyl-
vania, and yet the country is not pros-
perous. I can’t understand it. The
better class of our people are leaving.
150,000 went to the States last year.
Our town, Blackfolds, that had a pop-
ulation of 500 only a short time ago
has dwindled until it has scarcely 100
residents.
I was sorry to see that you did not
re-elect Judge Dale. The salty sen-
tences he dealt out to “blind piggers”
delighted me.
We had prohibition here for soine
years, but two years ago we went
back into the old John Barley cora
business. And now the government
stores sell hard liquors of all kinds
and every village and hamlet has a
beer bar.
The results are distressing; drunk-
enness every where and no dance or
other public gathering without a lot
of staggering attendants.
If you love your country, your
home, your fellow man, and all that
is pure and sweet and good repute,
never let the rum interests get a foot-
hold again in the United States.
Wishing you a happy New Year.
: WILL TRUCKENMILLER.

Prof, Hughes is Grateful.
During my absence from home in
December, the Academy boiler house
was destroyed by fire. I have been
informed that it was very windy at
that early hour of two o’clock on Mon-
day morning, December 14, and that
my residence might have been des-
troyed, had it not been for Mr. Duke-
man’s observing eye and prompt ae-
tion in sounding the fire alarm, and
the very prompt response by the
Logan and Undine Fire companies
ii their very successful efforts at the
e.
I mention my residence and not
‘the main building, because, since the
fire of 1921, I have had an asbestes
roof on the main building and ans wot
so fearful now of fire destroying it
from the outside. It is needless to
say that I am profoundly grateful te
Mr. Dukeman and to the firemen for
their assistance on that menacing oe-
casion. 1:mlways take great pleasure
in publicly acknowledging with grati-
tude the -hard, 'sarificing and sucess-
ful efforts of ‘our firemen, who vol-
unteer their worthy and acceptable
. service in these trying and worri-
some situations.
Very respectfully and very grate-
fully, J. R. HUGHES.
Seren,
—As Pat boarded the train and
took a seat there was a smile
triumph upon his face. :
“What's the matter with you?”
asked his friend. :
Pat’s countenance beamed with sat-
jsfaction. “Shure, I've been riding on
this road for tin years, and I've got
the best of the company fer once in
me life.”
“How's that?”

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
EXPLAINATION.
It was scarcely a kiss at all—
Our lips just chanced to meet
As we passed in the narrow hall;
It was scarcely a kiss at all!
My button caught on her shawl,
She turned—and her smile was so
sweet!
It was scarcely a kiss at all—
Our lips just chanced to meet!
—Storkey S. Fisher.
By appearing in one of the latest
“dinner coats” for ladies, Princess
Mary has set the seal of royal ap-
proval on another of society’s fads.
The “dinner coat” was designed
and worn during the recent cold spell
and has proved so popular that it is
being still used though the weather
is milder. There are a variety of
styles, mostly short, like a man’s
“tuxedo” and made of taffeta lined
with velvet. Others are somewhat
longer, in bright colored chiffon vel-
vets, the cut being straight with long,
wide sleeves and bell opening at the
wrists.
Wool and cotton tapestry over-
night bags are a recent innovation
among the smart woman’s accesso-
ries. Naturally enough, the fashion
for carrying these bags had its gen-
esis along the Riviera, where sev-
eral smart Parisiennes were seen
carrying bags of this sort, and some
of them have already worked their
way over to these shores. The typical
tapestry overnight bag, which is an
outcome of the old-fashioned carpet-
bag, measures about twelve inches
square. The tapestry, which comes
in such mixtures as brown, rose and
green, tan and blue and tan and
brown, as well as red with tan and
blue, is mounted on a covered frame
whose corners are rounded just a
trifle. The handle and bottom of the
bag are of leather, in either a match-
ing or a contrasting shade. It is
lined throughout with a practical
shade of tan rubberized silk, which
makes the bag a practical and smart
affair for beach wear. It is also most
convenient for shopping and when
motoring, because it is very soft and
flexible.
First there is the Reboux gigolo,
and the success of this chapeau is
reminiscent of the early days of the
cloche. This hat is no longer made
exclusively by Reboux—in unmis-
takable versions it appears in the col-
lections of every Paris modiste. It
is made of felt and velours—and its
principal virtue, besides its smartness,
is that it can be worn for every occa-
sion, be it formal, informal or sports.
The gigolo has been mentioned before,
but its vogue is adding exponents
daily.
Again you will see the short scarf
—another incidental which has be-
come almost uniform from Cannes
to Monte Carlo, it being particularly
evident at the La Festa tennis courts.
Since its inauguration four years ago
the scarf has enjoyed varying degrees
of popularity. At times it has trem-
bled on the precipice of oblivion, but
always some novel development would
come to the rescue. This season its
place is again established, only—and
this is essential—the 1926 scarf must
be short. Adhere to this dictum and
you may select your spring scarf with
a careless abandon as regards fabric
and coloring.
It is definitely evident that this is
to be a season of fancy and of mixed
colors, of daring harmonies. It is
as though fabric fashions were in-
spired by the great modernist move-
ment in painting and decorative arts.
Cubist designs are seen on many of
the new fabrics for the winter re-
sorts, especially on crepe. A woman
may not like those fabrics but she
must certainly admire the gayety of
the attractive and fascinating shades.
If your observation is acute you
will notice that to-day’s Riviera ladies
are all wearing pumps. Lest you con-
sider this merely a whim of the artist,
and without fashion significance, we
hasten to assure you that the pumps
were sketched deliberately because
that type of foot-wear is considered
smartest among Mediterranean hautes
mondes. That they will continue to
be worn in large numbers on this side
of the Atlantic next spring is predic-
tion we do not hesitate to make.
- Capes are omnipresent. They can-
not claim the Riviera as their birth-
place, but here at least they have been
sponsered and given more assurance
than ever before.
Good black lawn should not change
its color when washed, although cheap
materials frequently do.
Make 2 suds with warm water and
white soap and wash the goods quick-
ly, passing into a clear lukewarm
rinsing water and afterward into eold.
There is a starch that comes for
mourning goods. It is yellow and
looks something like powdered glue.
use the starch while it is warm, but
not too hot.
Instead of washing rice half a dez-
en times in cold water to remove the
starch rinse twice in very hot water
and the same results are gained.

ting the separate grains, such as are

Earrings Go Back Far Into Antiquity.
Earrings, says the Manchester
Guardian, can boast a long and inter-
esting history, though their popular-
ity necessarily depends largely upon
the fashions of hairdressing. One of
the first references to earrings is in
Genesis, where they are said to have
been sent, among other presents, by
Abraham to Rebekah before she
married Isaac. They have always
been a favorite ornament among East-
ern peoples, where they are quite as
much in favor with men as they are
with women. Nearly all savage tribes
find earrings peculiarly - fasinating
though their aim as a rule is cer-
tainly quantity rather than quality.
The most curious of all seems to be
the nature of Masailand; in Eastern
Africa, who is contemptuous of any
earring weighing less than two and
one-half pounds! The Roman women
wore very beautiful and costly ear-
rings, but they were never worn by
their menfolk. One Roman lady is
said to have decorated her pet lam-
prey with a pair of earrings.
The earliest specimens of earrings
discovered in England are said to be
of Anglo Saxon workmanship, and are
very intricate and beautiful in de-
sign. ‘It is interesting to note that
in the latter part of the sixteenth cen-
tury earrings were very popular with
Englishmen and were worn not only
by fops and exquisites but by the
strong men of the time. One earring
only was worn, usually a large pearl
in the left ear. =~ °°
After the Restoration Englishmen,
with the exception of gypsies and
sailors, no longer favored this fashion.
The gypsies believed that they had
some mysterious power of preserving
the keenness of the ear, and the sai-
lors that they had ‘the same bene-
sight. The gypsies appear to have
been the die-hards in the matter, for
the modern sailor would no more
dream of wearing earrings than he
would of wearing a pigtail.
Taking Trees From State Forests a
: Costly Business.
In a hearing before Justice of the
Peace Andrew S. Stover of Chambers-
burg, A. H. Shields, of Gettysburg,
pleaded guilty to removing four trees
from the Mont Alto State Forest. He
was fined $100 and the costs, amount-
ing te more than $9.00.
After careful investigation by for-
est officers, the place where the trees
were removed was definitely located.
An examination of the trees recently
planted on Mr. Shield’s premises
near Gettysburg, showed some of them
to be Sitka spruce, a forest tree
native to the Pacific coast. The only
place this tree has been planted in
south-central Pennsylvania is near the
State Forest School at Mont Alto.
The finding of these rare trees on Mr.
Shield’s premises and the established
fact that they grew only on the Mont
Alto State Forest provided important
evidence for the case.
This was the first penalty imposed
under the new act passed by the late
Legislature for the removal of trees
from the State Forests. Forest of-
ficials feel that this act will be very
hopeful in stopping the theft of trees
from the State Forests and in reduc-
ing damage to young growing trees
on State-owned land, many of which
were. planted during the last 25 years
for forestry purposes.

“Pussyfoot” Johnson Coming.
People of this community will have-
an opportunity of hearing a very
notable sleuth and Prohibition ad-
vocate, next Wednesday night, when
Wm. E. “Pussyfoot” Johnson appears
in the Presbyterian church here.
“Pussyfoot” eame into the lime-
light long before Mr. Volstead gain-
ed national notoriety. When Okla-
homa went dry, years ago, his name
was on everybody’s lips down where
hard liquor had been flowing almost
like water and it was his sleuthing
that caused many a slip twixt the hip
and the lip.
His work brought him notoriety and
he has kept in the fore front of pro-
hibition work ever since. Only a few
years ago he carried his campaign to
the British Isles and, if we recall
correctly, it was while there that he
was “ragged” so frequently by pro-
testing students that in one of the
melees he lost an eye.
Certainly he has become an inter-
esting character and his talk here
next Wednesday night should be
worth hearing.

C. M. PARRISH,
Spool Wood in Maine.
In almost the entire world, with its
great variety of woods to select from
there is only one kind that is used for
spools—the ordinary spools on which
sewing thread is wound—writes
Charles N. Lurie in St. Nicholas. By
far the greatest part of the world’s
spools are turned from the wood of
the white birch tree. It grows in
many sections of the United States,
but especially well in Maine.
Many years ago it was learned that
the wood of the white birch of Maine
lends itself easily to this purpose, and
now virtually the whole world’s sup-
ply of spools and spool wood comes
from the great north woods.
Some of the spools are made in
Maine, but a very large part of the
wood is shipped elsewhere for spool-
making after being seasoned where
it grows.
The first step in the preparation of
the product, after the trees are fell-
ed, is the sawing of the logs into
“bolts” about four feet long. Next
the bolts are “stripped” into square
sticks of the same length as the bolts.
Then the “spool strips” are ‘“‘cobbed”
for drying; that is, they are piled
into alternate cross layers, as in a cob
house.
