VACATION AMUSEMENT.
Haymaker's pirate a r Form at
Festivity fur Ike Country
Outlaw.
For the girls and boya spending
their summer vacation lu the "real
counrty," there la no form of amuse
ment more enjoyable than a hay
makers' picnic. The big hay wagon
Is pressed Into service, the girls mak
ing it Tery attractive with festoons of
wlM flowers and green leaves. Noth
ing but the seating portion of the ve
hicle Is left undecorated. If the horses
or oxen are sufficiently gentle they,
too, can be decked out In floral finery.
In this festive looking cart the girls
and boys, arrayed In genuine country
fashion, are conveyed to the hayfield.
The girls go in for sunbonnets and
gingham aprons, the boys wearing
broad-brimmed straw headgear, sim
ilar to that adopted by the real farm
ers, and with overalls tucked into
hlnh boots, as the haymaker Is always
pictured.
Once in the field the frolic begins,
ith which Is combined some real help
to the farmer, as the heaped up hay
wagon soon shows. The luncheon,
which has come later In a less fantas
tic wagon than the haymakers' char
lot. Is ealen in some shady spot, the
seats being fragrant mounds of hay.
No table is spread, the sandwiches and
fruit being eaten from the hands. A
big can of cool milk or buttermilk i
the only beverage, and this is served
in a tin dipper by an obliging farm
hand. When it comes time for home
going all ride on top of the load, which
Is not as easy a feat as It looks, for
the hay has a curious way of slipping
from tinder, suggesting a trip on a
camel's back more than the ease of a
cushioned seat.
If at night a dance In the barn can
follow the picnic, the day will be com
plete. For this lantorns furnish the
Ilplits. those which the farmers carry
when they go to do the chores being
preferred to the pretty Japanese ones,
when the inflammable nature of the
gumnindinps Is considered. The stalls
of the horses should be decorated with
flowers. The orchestra for the occa
sion, to be quite In keeping, need be
only an accordion, a fiddle or a
mouth organ, played by some young
countryman who has done so before
at dances of fbe real haymakers.
REGRETTED HIS JEALOUSY.
Husband's Hnatlneas Cansed
fcomethlnai of a Loss tn m
Klnanrial Way.
Him
A rather short and, on the whole,
somewhat insignificant-looking gentle
man lately married a tall, handsome
lady. He Is, unfortunately for his
peace of mind, of a Jealous and hasty
disposition, says London Tit-Bits.
The other evening he had left his wife
outside a tobacconist's shop while he
went In to purchase some cigars. Just
as he was coming out be saw a young
fellow step up to her and raise his hat.
As he drew near he heard the young gal
lant commence In an affectionate tpna
of voice:
''Excuse me, madam"
Before he could get any farther our
latter-day Othello burst on him:
"Excuse me, sir, what is your busi
ness with this lady?"
"Eh?" returned the other, in a sur
prised and cool manner; "my business
Is with the lady, and no one else."
"Well, sir," said the husband. Irri
tated by what he considered the ef
frontery of the reply, "this lady, I'd have
you to know, is my wife."
"Dear me!" rejoined the young man,
sarcastically, as he calmly Inspected his
assailant from top to toe; "really, now,
do you know, I'm astonished to hear It!"
Enraged beyond measure the bus-
an(j CTit fiercely:
"If you address another word to my
wife Ml"
"I don't Intend to now," broke In the
young fellow, quietly; "and you will
probably regret It before the day is out.
Good-day to you," and off he went.
Less than half an hour afterwards the
lady missed a valuable bracelet which
her husband had given her on her last
birthday. And that gentleman reluc
tantly agrees with his wife that the
young man must have picked It up, and
that he was about to return It to Its
owner when he was so rudely treated.
The lady now possesses anot her brace
let, so that the incident is not referred to
so frequently as It might otherwise have
been.

Although it may be of great benefit
to debilitated people to go to bed early,
there are few things more hurtful
than remaining lu it too long. Getting
op early imparts a vigor which noth
ing else can give. Those who are not
rery weak, indeed, and sleep well,
should rise soon after waking in the
morning. At first this will seem too
early for the debilitated person, who
does not feed entirely rested, but ris
ing early will gradually have tho ef
fect of prolonging sleep on the suc
ceeding night Lying in bed late is
hurtful, not only because of too much
relaxation, but also by thus occupy
ing that part of the day at which ex
ercise la moat beneficial. American

"I'm g'ad to bear that you have turned
over a new leaf," said the man with a
bunch of tract. "I have your solemn
promise that you will never commit an
other burglary?"
"You have," answered the occupant
of the cell.
"No doubt yon have been brought to
this change of heart by the tracts I gave
you.
It wasn't the tracts so much at the
newspapers. There's no use in breaking
open a man's bouse to get his money.
The' thing to do Is to work out a neat
little get-rlch-quick game, open an office
and let him bring hie wages to you."
