SHE WOULD GO TO WAR. But Her Mother I lioujeht Otherwise xmtl Separated Kntd from Her Soldier Husband. Here is another war romance. This ene has a soldier corporal foraheroand a 13-year-old bride for the heroine. An angry mother, a swearing stepfather, en unlucky discovery and a perfect Niagara of tears supply the other ele iii. Nts for a strictly up-to-date story. It took place at Fort Sheridan, 111., a few weeks ago, when troop I.of the Third cavalry started west to take transport for the Philippines. Just as the special was about to leave the sid ing a round faced, determined-looking woman appeared on the scene and con fronted the commanding officer. She paid her name was Mrs. T. 11. Wetzell, that her home was in Chicago, and that the wanted her daughter. "Hut. madam, we haven't got your daughter," said the officer. "Indeed, you have," replied the wom an. "and, what's more, she's aboard that train. "Nothing would do," she said, "but my daughter must become an actress. She has been playing at Fort Sheridan park under the name of Enid Delle, and while here she met Corporal McAn drews, of the cavalry, and they have fallen in love and been married. She told me last night that she was going to the Philippines with him, and 1 am sure she is on the train. "I cannot btar to think of her going alone with all those men —and to such a distant country. Can't you keep her. from going, sir? I'll bless you all my life. She is not yet 15 years old, just a child yet, and doesn't realize what she is doing. She is mad with love for the corporal. Not but what he is a brave young fellow, but they are young and foolish. She must not lie allowed to go." The officer declared there was no post eibility of the girl being aboard, but caused the train to be searched. No girl was found. Mrs. Wetzell was not aatistk>i, »o ihe station agent searched fcrr if; WEI>T WHEN EJECTED. the train, looking under every seat. There was no Ethel. Then Mrs. Wetzell demanded an in vestigation of the baggage, ears, which were packed with saddles, blankets and camp equipment. Mr. Simmons, the conductor, laughed, but climbed about through the cars to satisfy her. Just as he was about to give up the search he saw under a pile of saddles a bit of muslin fluttering. More out of curiosity than from any belief that the print had an owner he removed the saddles and boxes and found the girl. She had hidden herself away in this little corner with the hope of evading the officers until she was out of the city, when she hoped to win their permission to accompany her corporal •lover across the seas. She wept at being discovered, but was told she could not accompany the sol diers and would surely have been put off at some strange place had she not been discovered here. So, after an af fectionate parting with Corporal Mi- Andrews, she regretfully returned with her mother to Chicago. But Ethel, though tearful, is not dis couraged. She lias been married to her lover in all due form and has settled down to wait till he gets home again.— N. Y. Herald. A It ii Iny liny Novelty. For years women have been taking lessons in holding up their skirts from the ground, but they have not yet suc ceeded in doing this gracefully. Un til recently they grabbed the goods in the back into a bunch, pulled the folds tight and made a scant line at the top of the boots while the fullness dropped in the front. Nothing, all will admit, was more unbecoming. Now the skirt is drawn across tht» figure so smoothly that every outline is easily discerned. In order that the folds may beheld in place after the new idea, a silver de vice has been invented which comes in the shape of a clasp. It is held by a small silver chain which is fastened to the belt and the chain can be length ened and shortened at will, thus regu lating the hang of the skirt without difficulty. How to Jewelry. Wash well in warm soapsuds, to which ten or fifteen drops of sal vola tile has been added. Dry and place in boxwood sawdust till perfectly dry, then rub with a chamois leather. Pearls must not lie wetted, but exposed to the air as much as possible to pre vent their turning yellow. Opal* should be kept from fire and heat, as a high temperature renders them lia ble to split. Coral can be washed in eoap and water. DAINTY BRICK MANTEL. DeniEnrd for n Italclsli C.) Iloue, and I'lenNingly Artintle In Every ItrNiieul. This is a mantel design intended to be built of buff brick, with brown stone trimmings. It is six feet broad and < i;rht feet and was lately dcsigm d to be used in a home in Ita leigh. X. C. Such designs are justly becoming more popular, especially for use in halls, libraries and similar positions where they are extremely fitting. The combinations of colors and de signs in which the brick and stone may be arranged are innumerable, but the designing should not be intrusted to a novice, but always be done by | jjj 112 HANDSOME BRICK MANTEL. one who knows how to best combine the materials into* harmonious whole. Inquirers who ask about the styles and cost of built up brick mantels ap parently lose sight of tlie fact that while the design may be one that is regular, that is duplicate as often as desired, they are pot like wooden, iron, slate or marble mantels. They cannot be carried in stock, but each one has to be separately constructed on the grounds—in the house, rather —and from working drawings and color schemes furnished by the architect or mantel builder.—American Homes. BRIDES BUY THE RING. A Crowing" Xpw \ ork I'rnrtlc'o Wlilcli, One Jeweler Thinks, Hum \\ eiiili ty A«l vnuliiKei. "Isn't that a new wrinkle?" asked the chance observer. "What?" said the clerk. "For the bride to buy the wedding ring," replied the observer, turning te look at the young woman who had just gone out with lier purchase of a 14- karat, gold-filled ring. The clerk, who turned out to be the proprietor also, laughed. "Not at all in this part of town," lie said. "The practieF liau boen in vogue for several years and has continued to grow in popularity until it has become quite the proper caper. Indeed, when a man comes in here now and asks to look at plain gold rings we consider him a lit tle off color, and feel rather mean to ward him, as though he were usurping a feminine prerogative. Anyway, why shouldn't the woman buy the ring, looking at the matter from a common sense standpoint? It saves no end of trouble. A ring from a woman's point of view is a matter not only of senti ment. but also of adornment. Shu wants her jewelry, however cheap it may be, to be of the proper cut and the proper size. Now, what man, I'd like to know, can go in and select the right kind of ring even if he has got the measure? Not one out of twenty. It is a lot more satisfactory for all con cerned for the bride to come in and pick out what she wants without troubling the bridegroom, except, of course, for the money. He always set ties the bill; at least I suppose he does. "You see, this is a neighborhood where the people don't stand much on the fine points of etiquette. They in sist upon the ring to tie up the con tract with, but two-thirds of these rings are unengraved and sell for from two to four dollars. It's fun to see some of the women when they first state their errand. They beat about the bush and make their wants known in such a coquettish way that I don't won der, sometimes, that the young man, whoever he may be, has lost his head. Maidenly modesty, I suppose, makes them shy, and they begin by saying they are looking for a plain gold ring for a friend with a finger 'about the size of mine.' When they say that I always smile. I know what it means." —X. Y. Sun. Wli4*n Men Are Attractive. "Thirty or thirty-five," says a woman who has evidently given some serious thought to the problem, "is, I think, the age when a man is at his most at tractive stage. His manners are then modeled and his character formed; he has had some experience with the world and human nature, and consequently knows how to act and make allowances. He realizes, too, how utterly impossible it is to live on romance and flattery, which .younger fellows fondly imagine possible; is more level-headed, prac tical, sensible, sincere, and just in his attachments. Not so liable to be led away with every pretty face, and, mix ing, with the world, has found out per haps that 'all is not gold that glitters.' " How to \Yliiten I lie Xeek. When the neck or throat have become brown or yellow looking they may be whitened by the persistent application every night of the following paste, spread on a soft rag and wrapped around the neck: Honey, one ounce; lemon juice, one teaspoonful; oil of bit ter almonds, six drops; the whites of two eggs. Add enough fine oatmeal ' to make a smooth paste. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1899 iSSpdDi B THE RATTLEBOX WEED. ft* I'olnoiiuun Constituent in Un known, Kit 1 ItertirieM Hot li in Its Leuves ami Seed. The Latin p.time of this weed is Crotalaria sagit talis. It is popularly known as ruttleweed and wild pea. A government bulletin has this to say of it: It. is a hairy annual three to eighteen inches high, with simple un divided leaves one to two inches long and small yellow pea-like flowers ap pearing in July. The seed pods are about an inch long when mature and are nearly black. They are much in flated, and, as the walls are stiff and thin and very resonant, they make ex cellent miniature rattles when the seeds have become detached from their fastenings inside the pod. The rattle mm RATTLEBOX PLANT. A, Whole Plant: 15, Section of Seed Pod— Both One-Third Natural Wizc-. box is native in low snndy soils from the Atlantic westward to Minnesota find eastern Kansas. It is also found in New Mexico. It is common in Con necticut, New Jersey and Nortii Car olina, and in some years is very abun dant in bottom lands along ihe valley of the Missouri, in South Dakota and lowa. The poisonous constituent is un known, but it resides both in the leaves and in the seeds. Horses, and sometimes cattle, are killed by eat ing grass mixed with the plant. They are not poisoned so often by eating the plant in the fields. Public atten tion was first called to the poisonous nature of the rattlebox by Dr. Stalker, of lowa, who, in ISS4, while investi gating the cause among horses in lowa, was led to believe that it was mostly, if not altogether, attributable to this plant. Experiments were made that proved the supposition to be correct. The percentage of rattlebox in meadow hay will be much reduced if the fields are burned over when the seeds mature the preceding summer. The growth of perennial grasses will not be materially affected thereby. THE BEST PAYS BEST. Farmer Who Grows Something Ilet ter Than Can lie Found In the Market Makei Money, The great difficulty in making farms pay is that most farm crops cannot be assorted into good, better and best. They must be sold at so nearly a uni form price that there is no money in it. In -stock growing and in fruit growing such wide differences in value can be made that; it is possible to charge the very rich, who always want the best, whatever the best is worth more, and if it be not too easily produced, than this. So long as a man grows only for the universal market, he must sell at prices which even the poorest can pay. But letliim grow something better than can be found in the market., and he can get enough higher prices to pay him double for all his extra trouble. This is the secret of getting rich in all kinds of business. Money is to be got from those who have it, and not from those who have it not. Does this forget the poor? Not, at all. The struggle to im prove quality is always changing its ground. The best of one year is thus placed within the reach of all a few years later, and another best has taken its place. Barring accidents from untimely frosts, it is the best fruit that pays the most profit and that can be grown most cheaply if the average of years is con sidered. The labor of spraying with in secticides and with fungicides to make the fruit fair, and the further labor of thinning it, produces so much more fruit every year that it can be sold with profit at rates within the reach of all. The very rich will still get the best and pay for it. but the poorest will get more and better fruit) than they ever before en joyed.—Massachusetts Plough, man. Front Potntoes to Itye. The land that wasdtjvoted to potatoes this year should be seeded to rye, limed in the spring and corn grown on the same land next year. Such a plan gives the land two weedings and cleans it thoroughly. It is also an advantage not to grow potatoes on the same land oftener than one year in four as a pre caurion against disease. Rye should cover all land that is plowed in the fall, as it prevents loss of fertility, and when turned under in spring it will add fertilizing material to the soil, the lime being used to neutralize any acidity that may exist. Conventional Confnnlon. "It is curious," remarked the Lay Fig ure, "that people think the dumdum bullet poisonous." "Not at all," rejoined the Unconscious Imbecile. "You see, immediately the dum dum bullet enters a body it mushrooms. Now, most people don't know the differ ence between a mushroom and a toadstool, and a toadstool is poisonous. Curious? | Why, it's the most natural thing in the world for people to think that." Of the others, not one forgot that he was a gentleman.—Detroit Journal.
