Htt Unchelors' bait will hike
place this year on the cus
tomary tluto, December 31.
Tho committee Is comprised
(ib fnllbws:
Albert (J. Hunt, chairman; Mortimer

' '.rensuier: Theodore S. Fuller and
Chariot II. Welles. Jr.

John Wlllnrd naught, the well known
rtlst, has been Summering In the vle
nlty of Luke Carey this season, and
jas made a number of Interesting
tudles of that ronton which furnishes
, varied and almost unlimited fund of
rtubjeels for the landscape painter. A
lew photogravure from one of Mr.
vrtHURht's works has Just been published
fby Klaekncr & Co., of Now York, and
Is on exhibition In the window of the
arlllln Art shop. The plate represents
ii scene on the Anveis river, In Franco,
with u number of peasant women
washing clothes upon the banks In the
foreground. In this prjnt, which is tho
second published from Mr. naught's
sreutlons, tho engravers have been re
markably successful In bringing out tho
general tone and poetic detail which
speaks the inspiration of the artist nnd
Is so (llfllcult to reproduce In black and
white.
The Dixie theatre seems to be In high
favor during these pleasant days and
evenings. Box parties have been quite
the fad lately, and thero are few per
formances when many friends, whom
Mr. nnd Mrs. Dixie have made In re
cent years, are not present: Tho en
tertainment nfforded Is of such a class
that everybody Is delighted and people
are growing to be as much Interested
in tho success of the venture as If they
were In the theatrical business. One of
the elements In Its favor Is the happy
arrangement which has associated Mr.
Slsson In the enterprise. Aside from
his relations with the public In the
capacity of manager, his sketches on
the stage, with his clever nnd beautiful
young wife, have added much to the
satisfaction of the patrons.
Mrs. Slsson Is of Quaker blood and
r'has much talent as a writer, particu
larly In tho wny of verso. As Ksther
S. Wallace she achieved success on tho
stage very early In lite. Those who
snw her In a Juvenile role this week
could not but be charmed with her
work. It Is always a Joy to the nudl
ence when Mr. and Mrs. Slsson fill In n
bill.
Ildusckecpers will find at the Wom
an's exchange various substantial and
dainties on the following days: Mon
day, meat pies, baked beans, brown
bread; Tuesday, sorary meat, rusks,
pies and crullers; Wednesday, baked
beans, Scotch scones: Thursday, pies
nnd rusk; Friday, llsh croquettes or
fish balls, or cutlets, and Scotch short
cake; Saturday, baked beans and brown
bread, rusk, entire wheat bread, white
and brown bread, rolls, and delicious
cakes, and mayonalsc dressing every
day. Broths and delicacies for the sick
made to order, also desserts.
The announcement that Mndume
Sembrlch, of the Metropolitan Opera
company, will be at the armory, Octo
ber 21, will give unlimited delight to all
music lovers of this region. Mr. Hand's
musical season will open bravely, In
deed, with such an attraction as Mad
ame Sembrlch.
Douglas Arthur Teed, the welt-known
artist, has fourteen oil paintings on ex
hibition at the Griffin Art shop, which
nre, In more than one respect, remark
able. In the first place, Mr. Toed has
a surpassing versatility, nnd It Is rnther
(llfllcult to say that he does better In
this or that line. He does not paint by
the yard, yet ho does canvases of mod
erately large size, while still painting
others with all the exquisite detail of
miniatures. He does soft Corot-llke
effects, and others with breadth and
passionate feeling of n Brldgman. His
genre work Is superb, and yet he paints
landscapes with the fidelity of one who
leans very, very close to Nature In her
various moods.
One of the most pleasing In the little
exhibition Is a brilliant Oriental sub
ject, full of fire and mysticism. Mr.
John T. Porter, who knows good pic
tures, nnd possesses several, linb- nU
ready marked this "Hostile Envoy" for
tils own,
, Perhaps the largest In the group will
attract most people, ns well for Its local
Interest ns for Its great beauty. , It Is n
view near tho homo of Hon, Clitluslin
A. Grow, showing tho residence nestled
among the lovely hills. It la pnlnled In
' the soft silvery tones thnt remind one
J of Corot, without forming In any Benso
an Imitation.
"Tio Itulned Abbey" Is nnother fine
subject, while "Sir aatahad" Is an Un
usual typo, showing two ninlled horse
men, and by Its fragmentary effect
having a singular fascination.
The range of subjects Is wide, In
cluding a charming Venetlnn scene, n
bazaar of Cairo, a particularly delight
ful "Swiss Village," and several beauti
ful landscapes nnd figure pieces. The
exhibition will remain hero for several
days, and r'or the soke of art culture In
this town, It Is ,to be hoped, forever.
Colonel nnd Mrs. II. M. Boles will
spend the next few days In Philadel
phia, In nttendancc upon the National
Prison congress. The headquarters of
the congress will be at tho Continental
hotel, and It Is expected thnt th de
liberations of this body will result In
legislation which will effect many re
forms in prison methods. The opinions
of few men In tho country are henrd
with more deference than nre those of
Colonel Boles, who has given years of
close study to the subject and whose
latest book on Penology Is recognized
ns being one of the most valuable of all
authorized statements relating to crim
inology. Messrs. J. II. Brooks and James Blair,
Jr., hnd an automobile trip to Pocono
this week. Among the Incidents of the
run was a "Dewey hold-up," when tho
Admiral and Mrs. Dewey In their car
riage received the assistance of Mr.
Brooks' chauffeur In quieting their rest
ive horses. Afterward at the Mounte
nesco the Seranton men met the ad
miral and hud a pleasant chat with
him.
Mr. and Mrs, Frank M. Spencer have
not yet returned from their New Kng
land trip. During the first day of their
tour, Mr. Spencer made the record of
alighting to hold the heuds of nineteen
different horses which gave evidences
of terror at the approach of the big
automobile. A sprained wrist and other
damages not so painful were among
the results. Some of the horses Insisted
upon running away and, In fact, one
jumped entirely out of the harness. He
was driven by a woman with a baby

"Oh the time we wnslo
A'nd the thoughts wo waste"
on tho people who never did know, nnd
now wo know that they never did
know, nnd never could understand that
they should not keep other people wait
ing, The time wo waste Is the Important
factor; the thoughts arc mainly un
complimentary to tho bothersome ones
who nre always late for everything.
We do waste 'nn enormous amount of
time In waiting for those who sakl they
would be at such a place at such hour.
They nlways have fifty-four excuses,
any one of which would be adequate
for the occasion, If It were true. They
feel distinctly Injured, If we appear to
be, on account of the delay, and they
go nway making remarks to the effect
that "she always was ti dlstigreoable,
fussy old thing!"
They are Invariably behind time nnd
we catch the habit from them nnd,
knowing they nre certain to be late,
time ourselves accordingly, nnd finally
become demoralized, likewise, und even
up mntters by keeping other people
waiting.
I heard of one woman, a thrifty,
provident soul, who made garments
without number In the moments spent
In waiting for dilatory people. She was
one of the Biblical women, whose, fam
ilies call them blessed. She did not feel
constrained to go Into nil the world
and preach her gospel or helpfulness,
but did milch of her very effective
preaching from her own fireside. There
was always a bit of work near at hand
which she could easily catch up nnd ns
easily drop, and her hands wrought
much while she waited. "I do not In
tend to have them waste all my time,"
she said.
Another kept a basket of table linen
ready for a few minutes' work. That
was always her employment while
waiting for the friend who was to go
calling with her; for the grocery boy
who was expected on the cook's after
noon out; for the husband late at din
ner; for the children to come from
school; for the klndergnrten commit
tee; the Society for the Dissemination
of Literature on Higher Education
among the South Sea Islanders; for
the Browning club and the Blue Book
Circle. She hnd a larger supply of nap
kins nnd tablecloths, hemmed with
beautiful closely set stitches than will
be found in the linen closet of the aver
age well-to-do housewife. Every piece
was hemmed while she waited.
Another woman learned French
rather completely while she waited. It
Is not always easy to drop a new novel
thus picked up for a few minutes. One
is likely to wish the Invading caller, or
expected guest in Jericho. Neither is
It satisfactory to lay SuW-n a magazine
article in the midst of its most inter
esting part, but a little bit of foreign
language can be learned in that way
so that it is really remembered.
The woman found that she could get
several words of a vocabulary securely
rastened In her mind while she waited
for one nnd another whose time did
not seem to count. She learned most
of the irregular verbs in that way, and
by dint of habit was able to repeat
them to herself whenever she was
alone. She read French In the street
cars and In the trains when she trav
eled. Thus the spare moments brought
a new outlook before her gaze, and
after she had gained a fair working
knowledge of French, she began an
other language closely allied, and It
was all done at odd times when there
seeemed absolutely nothing else to do.
"It often keeps me from fretting," she
said, ''when I am obliged to wait for
poky people like you."
It Is really surprising what a lot of
studying can be accomplished In these
odd moments and how little one minds
the passing of time while thus engaged.
One Is even conscious occasionally of
a vague sense of annoyance atthe ter
mination of the delay, simply because
the thoughts are so delightfully occu
pied. Yet there is another side to the
question. Do we not often try to keep
these brains of ours busy nt the ex
pense of vitality and true mental ac
tivity? What If we are making a mis
take, after all, when we nre so am
bitious to gain knowledge or to ac
quire dollies or hemstitched table linen?
What If we should, Instead, drop down
in nn easy chair and close the eyes
during the few minutes of waiting, or
step out Into the open air and do deep
breathing exercises? What If the wnlt
Ing times for the slow-to-mercy friends
or In the committee meetings for a
quorum are really the snatches of rest
we need for nn overtired brain ijmd
body? 1 wonder.
The great dllliculty Is thnt much of
the waiting of life "has to be done
where you can't crochet parabolic
mats, nor hem tablecloths, nor carry
French grammars and dictionaries. It
Is waiting for street cars on stupid
corners, waiting In friends' drawing
rooms while they are making elaborate
toilets with which to dazzle you, wait
ing for men to keep business engage
ments (men In the aggregate are really,
you know, Just ns wanting In punctu
ality as are women, notwithstanding
tne popular superstition on the sub
ject). Or course, you can knit mats, iih they
say some of the teachers did In the In
stitute, while you ride In the cars or
wait on the corners. It will be a little
conspicuous, but then you havu the
mats, You can darn stocklngH or other
useful things at thimble teas, which are
given solely to show off new work
bags and make a bluff at embroideries
which am never completed. Yet, after
all, there Is some waiting which lias to
be dune In this world when there really
Isn't anything to do but wait. Peilmps
the belated may be one we call Jus.
tlce, or maybo Recognition, or Kind
Words, or even at the last, Death, who
is late in coming.
A fair correspondent writes for In
formation about pyiography. Briefly
speaking, pysogrnphy Is thu art of
burning wood ndt In the way prnc
tlced by many housekeepeis In this day
of limited coal, but by the means of
tools which are heuted and whose
points are applied to tho surface,
which hus previously been pie
pared with tho pattern of the decor
ation. When artistically done the re
suits are Wonderfully beautiful. The
articles which may be thus adorned are
Infinite, und rungo from oaken chests
und hall-racks to picture frames and
match safes.
In the earlier days It was called
"poker-work," because the design was
laboriously wrought out with the tip
end of a poker, which hud to be fre
quently heated In the coals. Great
changes have taken place since that
time and elaborate sets of tools, heated
with electricity or gas, enters Into the
details, while thero are lightning pro.

PAGAN RITES IN SCOTIA.
Many Scottish Customs That Have
Their Origin in Superstition,
from Stray Stories.
Nearly all traveleis In Central Africa
have referred to the curious customs
prevalent among almost all pagan na
tive tribes of driving quantities of nails
Into sacred trees anil other objects that
have been adjudged worthy of vener
ation, ami this nut in malice, but as a
religious rite, the nails in question be
ing Intended ns votive offerings, Kx
actly the same thing may be witnessed
today nt the sacred well of St. Mue
bruha, In Loch Mciree, Rosshlre, where
Is an undent oak tiee studded with
countless .nails of all sizes, the offer
ings of Invalid pilgrims who cume to
woishlp nnd be cured.
Pennies and half-pennies nlso are tot
lie seen In enormous quantities driven
edgewise in the tough bark, and a
friend of tho writer's who visited the
spot some little time back discovered
In a clert high up hi 'the trunk what
he took to be a shilling. On being ex
tracted, however, It proved to be coun
terfeit. Probably the donor, finding
that he could get no value for Ills coin
In the natural world, concluded he
might us well try, as a lust resource,
what effect It might have on the spir
itual. Of course, the poor cotters and others
who Hock to St. Muebruha with their
nulls and their pence do not for a
moment admit that they are assisting
at 11 pagan ceremony. Rut they most
undoubtedly are, Well worship has al
ways occupied an important pluco In
paganism, and the saureil oak, 'before
which ench pilgrim must thrice kneel
eru humbly presenting1 bis offering
what Is It but an obvious survival of
the sacred groves of Drulillcnl times?
