THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1, 1010. DESERTED POGBl'S "I wonder what's tho uintter nt I'o gram's," snld Davo Hlughnui to his wlfo oas morning ns ho stoMl n) front of tho house looking down p-ei tho corn to tho rear of Pogrntn's I turn. "Thnr hnln't no life about the piacj nohow, nn thar hain't been none slnco Thursdny." "You Jlst mind your own business, Davo Illnghaui, an' let other people's alone. You know the trouble you got Into by Investigating the Partridge af fair. Like enough Pqgram's gone a-shootln' or Bomethln'." "But thar's such a deathly look about It. Pogrom never leaves his placo 'cept nt reg'lar times. lie lives thar nil alone nn' Is jlst In n condi tion fur a Orst class murder. Now 1 think of It, night afore last I henrd a shot In that direction right In tho mid dle of the night an' somehow I felt as ef a ghost had passed." "Well, why don't you go down an' see about It?" "Iteckon I hain't got no time." The truth was that Ilinghaiu was a superstitious man, with a horror nt coining upon anything ghostly. lie could have gone down to Pogrnm's as well as not for all the work he did on i his farm, for he was as lazy as he was superstitious. Instead of going to 1 work he went over to talk to Steve I Blackburn, who owned the nest farm. ' and endeavor to Interest him In the matter. Stove was picking berries, but pnused in his work and heard Illng- , ham through, then said deliberately: "iteckon I hain't got no less to do than you." Dave went the round of the farms that morning, spreading the news of a tragedy at Pogram's. The farmers could nil look down on the deserted place, for Fogrnm's was In the valley an open space through which the road ran nnd knots of them gathered on the hills and speculated ns to what was tho matter. Tho Pogram farm had Indeed an uncanny look about It. The gate was open, as well as the back window; also the door of tho stable where Pogram kept his horse and bug gy. The overlookers compared nBtes as to when they had last seen Pogram, and Deacon Huston's date was the latest, three days before, when he had met Pogram walking along the road very much dejected. After the dea con's testimony the theory was chang ed from murder to suicide. Still no one bad yet been found with sulllclent nerve to go down and face the corpse. The white curtain In the rear -window continued to flap, as much as to say, "Why don't you come?" But the better the groups looking down on Pogram's understood the invitation tho more disinclined were they to accept it. Finally it -was agreed that some one should go, and the choice fell upon Dave II lug 1mm. "Oh, I don't take no Interest in tho matter;" said Dave, blanching. "I'm goln" to work." But Dave had called attention to the tragedy and dwelt upon It and stirred It up till his neighbors began to hold him responsible. Ike Merton and Tom Mnrkley boldly told Dave that, since he had first noticed the stillness about Pogram's, ho was the person to Inves tigate the cause. Dave tried to crawl out of It, but the two men insisted, agreeing to back him up. "Serves you right, Dave," said his wife, who understood his natural dis inclination nt facing unpleasant scenes. "Ef you hadn't said nothin' about 'it, you'd 'a' been let alone." The three men started down the hill. Dave In advance. Ho wanted the rear, but Ike Merton had concluded to take his revolver, to be ready In case of an emergency, and playfully pointed It nt the chosen lender, Infusing Into him the necessary stimulus. The Investi gators proceeded, climbing the fences on their route, watched by tho group of people on the hill. When they came to the rear of Pogram's farm they halted a moment for observation. Tho willow tree hung mournfully oyer the wood house; the tin cup rested Immov able on the pump; the curtain Mapped from the rear window. "Iteckon you'd better go ahead with the shootin' iron, Ike." said Dave. "Thar mought be some of the murder ers thar ylt." "You take It," said Ike, hnudlug him the revolver. "I hain't no fchot no how." Dave staggered on. pausing nt tho stable door. Pogram's horse and bug gy, the only occupants, were gone. "They've cleaned out the stock, shore enough," said Tom Markley. .See the tracks of the buggy," said Ike. "Uu on, Dave," said both, seeing that their leader was Inclined to turn buck. Thus urged, Dave staggered to tho house, nnd after several Ineffectual efforts to gather sulllclent courage to approach the open window ho at last did so and, white ns a sheet, hooked In, his two companions peering over his shoulders. "Whoop!" There were shouts from up the road, nnd the Investigators, turning, saw Pogram's buggy, followed by several teams, coming nt full speed. Pogram, who was dressed In his best Sunday suit, drove his own vehicle, beside him a young woman in n white muslin dress, with a veil and orange blossoms on her head, whilo behind was a bridal party of the friends of both. "You, Dave Hlnghnin. git away from my winder!" cried Pogram ns he turn ed into the yard. Tho mystery was solved. Pogram had been courting and the day tho deacon saw him had been refused, but tho girl had suddenly changed her mind, nnd Pogrom had gone to bo married. When You "3ee Cars." Tho mnn who when strmtc vloleutly on the bend says he "saw stars" Is not far from telling the truth. The fact Is that there Is a phosphorescent pow er In tho eye which does not attract n person's attention under ordinary con ditions, but which Is distributed nnd revcnls itself whenever the head gets a sudden shock and sometimes even In the act of sneezing. A blow on the head results In a pressure of the blood vessels upon tho retina, causing cither total dnrkness or a fnlut blue light which floats before the eyes, and It is lu this faint blue light the Imagination discerns the thousands of fantastic forms nnd figures thnt by general ac ceptance are termed stars; hence, while tho nstronomlcnl display so fre quently mentioned may be said to bo entirely n creature of thd Imagination, there Is nt least some foundation for the Idea. The true nature of the sen sation Is never very apparent, even to the victim, for the simple reason that It Is Invariably experienced under clr cumstnnccs which render a searching Introspective Investigation out of the question. An Odd Nugget of Gold. There have been . mnuy Inrge nnd oddly shaped gold nuggets found In tho United States nnd elsewhere, but the oddest of them all was that dis covered at the Mldhas mine, on Sulky gully, near Melbourne, Australia. In 1SS7. The nugget was Hat nnd almost the exact counterpart In contour of a colosral human hand held open, with the exi option of the thumb nnd fore finger, which were closed together In a manner so as to make It appear that the thumb was holding 4ho finger In place. Its greatest length was twelve and a half inches and Its greatest breadth eight Inches. It was of the very purest gold, with but n little of foreign substances ndhering, mostly between the "lingers," and weighed G17 ouuees. It was found In the north west main drive of the Mldhas mine. 120 feet below the surface of the earth and at a spot only fifty feet from where tho famous Lady Brassey nug get was discovered the year before. It weighed fifty-one pounds of pure gold. Mme. Rejane at Rehearsal. Mme. Rejane at one of her rehearsals wns endeavoring to impress upoii a young actor tho necessity of a tragic expression. "Put yourself In his place," she said. "But I have never been through such an experience," the other pleaded. "Well, then," retorted tho actress, "imagine you have lost 300 or 400 louls at baccarat and that you have been dismissed from the company." His face fell. "There you have It," said she. "Keep that expression nnd you will win." For a young woman who could not weep to order she tried a heroic cure. "Yery well. I will take the part away from you. You are not pretty enough." This hnd the desired effect, and the floodgates opened. "Weep like that and you will be the hit of tho piece," exclaimed Rejane triumphantly. London M. A. P. Balzac and Black Coffee. Balzac was addicted to the use of strong bla'ck coffee and depended upon It as a nervous stimulant during the hours which he devoted to composi tion. Its effect he has himself de scribed In theso words: "The coffee falls Into your stomach. Immediately everything starts Into ac tion. Your Ideas begin to move like Grand Array battalions on the battle field, and the battle opens. Memories arrive at a run, standards flying; the light cavalry of comparisons breaks Into a magnificent gallop; tho artillery of logic dashes up and unllmbers; thoughts come rushing up ns sharp shooters; characters spring up on nil sides; tho paper becomes covered with ink, for tho struggle has begun and ends in torrents of black water like the battle in black powder." Burns as a Tax Collector. In the olden days candles were taxed articles, and It wns tho duty of Itobert Burns ns an excise officer to see that tho tax was not evaded. lie generally looked the other wny, however, as when passing through the kitchen on night nt William Lorlmer's of Kennl shall, whore the gudowlfe was busy making cnndles, he merely remarked, "Faith, madam, ye'ra throng tho nlcht," nnd passed Into the parlor. St. James' Gazette. The Mountains Bother Them. The British have had heaps of trou ble In Slam to make tho natives under stand that tho world Is round lnstend of flat. Indeed, tho native teachers keep on teaching the children thnt It Is flat, and when nrgued with they re ply, "If it isn't flat why do the uiouu- tains stand up ns they do instead of roiling downhill?" A Financier's Observation. "Ho spends money like n prince," said tho man who makes trlto compar isons. "Perhaps," replied Mr. Dustlu Stux, "only most members of royal families 1 have met in my banking experience nro more anxious to borrow money thnn to disburse it." Washington Star. A Paradox.

A Difference. "I am told that Jones is a regular leech. -Is that true?" "No; I would hardly say that A fcech, you know, never geta stuck, on himself." WOMAN 10 FASHION Quaint Fashions In Vogue. "The smartest thing one can be this summer Is quaint," Enys a fashion cor respondent from the French capital. "Tho 'odd, fanciful, slngular'-dlctlon-ary definitions of quaint are those ap plicable to the present fashion. It is not exactly plcturosqueness thnt Is nlmcd nt, but singularity. It amounts sometimes to untidiness, but moro of ten to n fascinating nnd apparently unstudied neatness. The hats are quaint, any 'shape at all and worn rlght'ovcr tho head, with Just n little hair showing underneath at either side, often none showing In front. Then coats are (plaint. I saw one se verely tnllor made opening over a transparent front of skin white tulle Tho effect was as If the coat hnd been donned over a decollete gown. It waH singular. A long racing coat of green velvet wns braided across, hussar fnshlon, nnd then left open from the waist, showing n blouse of delicate laces. Tho effect was fanciful. There will bo wild things done under this li cense of qualutness. On tho other hand, wo shall see wonderfully attrac tive real qualutness In dresses suiting pretty people nnd cleverly carried out." Good Locking Models In Parasols. Black and white combinations, are numerous and gocd looking. A simple nnd attractive morning parasol brought over by nn Importer Is covered In silk with n white ground checked off by fine lines of black. A narrow plaited frill of black borders tho cover, nnd some distance above this a three Inch black ribbon runs around tho parasol, threaded through eyelet holes em broidered in blnck. Another shape has but four ribs whoso tips would make the four cor ners of a square. A shape of this sort covered in gay printed cotton was made to match n big hat of white rough straw trimmed in the same cot ton. A Cool Summer Gown. Blue organdie lu tho pretty shades seen this season with a white spot is chosen for this model, nlthough challls or foulard would bo a happy selection, nnd the sloeves may be short or long.

These streamers are of broad ribbon or of black velvet that is Introduced In some wny in the hat trimming, the long ends being brought, over tho wldo brim In n picturesque way. To tlo tho ribbon Into u bow nt the back of tho head Is a ftivorlto wny of arrangement, and tho ends nro nllowed to hang free from thero far down below tho waist line. Flowered hats usually havo black vervet that Is brought straight ucross tho crown, over tho brim on either side nnd tied under tho chin nt one side. To Replace the Swirl. A change lu hnlrdrcssing Is immi nent. Tho swirl fashion is passing, and in its place a more natural head outllno is coming. Tho latest thing Is tho wldo velvet band that encircles tho head and makes a finish for tho chi gnon of curls thnt is tho latest "trick."
