For him the hour ia ripe, indeed. in

The puny shipa are well enough for

But, oh, how splendid when the great

The full-rigged man, on all sidoa trim to

In purpoae like alanre of slt-el, in ht-urt
aa light as feather;
Dark hendingto the instant'a need with
will and atrength supreme,
Now lifting in the clouds hia brow in
some eternal dreum!
The full-rigged man, whone balanred
power leavea nothing to be aaid
Skilled hand, true heart, impervious
zeal, firm spirit and eool liead;
No mincing gait toplease thecrowd, but
winged aa ahapes of niorn
To brave the thunder of the deep and

The full-rigged man, whoae stately life

Hail and revere and welcome him, and

HOBBLE SKIRT FOR
YOU MADAME?
Fall Raiment Triflc Rainbowish,
Meeting All Colors Into One?
But Its Stylish. and a Bit Dan
gerous Too.
Already the fnll atylaa are making
thfir appearancp in th*> windnws of th?>
shops. Sandwirhed in hi>t w.i-n seanon
end bargain aale diaplaya of odds :ind
ends of summer stuff, one seea th.
thinga whichare to be worn thia fall.
In her lateat dictates Dame Fashion
is most considerate of the comfort as
well as the general tastes of tncn. Aa
far aa man is concerned, the cut and
color of dothes is of relatively small
importanre. Still, as long aa he's got
t<> wear them it ia only naluml th.it k*
tnanifeat a rertain amount of curiosii|
as to what his tailor hasin raind. Men,
lately, have been forced to live in a
atate of dread aa to what may actually
happen in regard to clothea.
Ever since aome IVrciea und Cholliea
attempted to have it deereed tbat it ia
the proper atunt to wear kid glovea in
aummer time. he haa been boreVring on
the verge of nervoua apprehension.
wondering what will happen next. It is
comforting then to know that there ia
nothing atartling about the ooming
stylea. Plain bluea, graya and browna
will take precedence over the wall
paperiah-like combinationa that were
?ajajt the thing. To maaculinity this will
prove good newa. No average self
respecting man likeato potaround look
ing like a hobhy-horse at the aame
time, he wanta to be in atyle.
Hobble Skirt a Fetter.
The lateat thing in women'a clothea
ia the hobble skirt. Its demanda are
even more torturoua than thoae made
hy the aheath gown or the directoire.
In the dirtionary the word hobble isd?
tined aa a fetter. Fetter ia a good word
with which todeacribe the hobble skirt.
Wearing one, a woman cannot take
atepa longer than sixinches. Walking,
anytbing like natural, is impoaaihle.
Kxperience bas taught that a certain
element of danger attarhes to the uae
of the new akirt. Firat, there came the
atory of a young person who, while ca
pering gaily along, becamo involve<l in
her hobbla akirt and broke her hff,
From varioua aectiona of the country
have come reporta of varioua distrusa
ing miahapa due to the new fashion.
?)ne young thing, starting out to church,
waa toaaed by her hobble akirt Jinto the
deptha of a mud puddle. much to her
embarrassment.
Moreover, it haa been demonatrated
that it is impoasible toget into the new
skirt in the usual way. The wenrer
must prepare to climb in from the top
kind o' pour herself in. The hobble
akirt waa not invent<d for apeed purpo
ses. It is not built on racing lines. It
requires a hobble-de-hoy sort of gait
that ia a mixtureuf an undulation and a
glide. Wearers have got to sort of
wave themselves along. Two or more
young missea in hobble skirts and in a
hurry would creato the impresnion of a
sack race.
Can't Stand the Strain.
The new skirta may be expected to
razzle along moat any old afternoon.
That they have not arrived before this
may be attributed more to the good
senae of the Virginia women than to
any tardiness of the local faahions. But
femininity cannot be expected to stand
the atrain toolong. Struggle as itwill,
it ia bound to auccumb, and the hobble
akirt if not here, ia on the way.
Oriental richness is the main charae
teristic of the fall and winter millinery.
Thia will be a great seaaon for bright
colora. Aa the head atyle artist of a
awell eatabliahment said, things will be
generally "rainbowiah." For in8tance,
when milady dona a blue dress ahe will
wear raapberry colored ahoea, banda
of gold around her hair and prob
ably a green hat.
Will that not be going aome?

A HAPPY REUNION.
llowswiftly thoyoars ro!l by! It doea
not take long for 80 yeara to pass. or
even 40. When the years grow short,
and when it plcuaes us to be told we
look young, it is said we are betfinning
to grow old. However, the laat twelve
months have flown hy. and we find our
selves acain enjoying a aummer outing
on the Great Wicomico. There waa a
"Russelling" timeouton the lawn under
the treea at the deligbtful home of Mr.

younger children, May and Floyd, there
were J. T. Russell and aon, Sidney

Mila, Mra. J. S. Hardwiok and two
sotis, Russell and John, of Kinsale, Mrs.
J. P. Hunt. daughter Lillian and son
George, of North Carolina. How pleaa
ant to be tngether again! Fiahing par
ties, crab auppers, moonlight exrursiona
with merry jest and witty atoriea make
the tinie pasa all too soon. We had the
great pleasure of spending a day in
Fairfields with Mr. and Mra. Moreau
Blackwell and family. The day was
perfect, the homo ideal, the viait de

WHY COMETS DISAPPEAR.
Hnlley's comet has doul)lod the cape
of the Man and has commencod its long
journey through the sky. For over 38
yeara it will rush through trackleaa
space at a rate of speed past our com
prchension. It will atop at no way
?f tlff. After Ihia long journey it will
swing about in ita celcstial pathway
toward our sun again. Its return will
consume another 38 years, provided it
shall return at all. Should it have at
tained auflicient moment um in its present
visit to rarry it beyond the confines of
our solar system it may be seized upon
by the attractive power of another sun,
and may never return to ua again. It
is very probable that many of our comets
have left oui system forever, and that
many comets from other aystems have
come to ua. The journey which this
comet is to make is a perilous one.
It ia attended with many dangers.
Planets are scattered through the sky.
They are sending out their attractive
forces across the cotnet'a path. They
are dangerous highwaymen. They may
tlraw the comet into themselvea, or
may convert it into a sat.llit.' to revolve
around 8ome primary. - [IVof. Samm-1

THE JUDGE SCORES.
Several lawyers in a Southern city
were discussing the merits aud demor
its of a well known member of the bar
who had been gathercd to his fathers,
when one of the party related an inci
dent of the time when he had studied
in the old man'soffice.
It st'.-ms that the inefficiency of the
copying clerk there kept the judge con
tinually worked up to the point of ex
plosion. one .lay a wire basket fell off
the top of the elerk's desk and acratch
ed hia cheek. not having any court
plaster, the young man slapped on three
|M)stage-stamps and went on with hia
work.
Later in the day he had occasinn to
take certain papers to the court, and,
forgelting all about the stampa, he put
on hia hat to go out. At the door he
met the judjje, who raised hia head and
fixed the clerk with an aatonished
atare.
"Anything wrong air?" stammered
the bewildered clerk.
"Yea, sir. there ia!" thundered the
old tjentloman. "You are carry'ng too

GOOD ROADS IN VIRGINIA.
The glowing report of the progreaa
made in road buiiding thia year ia good
news to Virginia and Virginians. Every
mile of approximately permanent road
conatruction ia a direct and valuable
addition to the wealth of the State, be
cauae it facilitatea tranaportation, re
dures the coat, and aavea the wear and
tear on teams and vehiclea that have to
travel over it.
The "mud tax" haa been ahown to
he the heavieat (unleaa it be the taritf
tax) that our farmera have to pay; and
it ia one by which nohody profita.
For far too many years the attitude
of the average farrnor toward theroads
he was condemned to use was that of
the F.astern fataliat. A had road waa
a decree of fate or a visitation of Prov
idence aent upon him for hia ains.
About all he did for the roada waa to
pay his "road tax"-for the moat part
waated in temporary and generally
worthless repaira?and, if given to pro
fanity. fervently to cuss his aupeiy.m r*
when the aubject of roada waa men
tioned.
Hut a change has come over thespirit
of the farmer's dreams. He ia begin
ning to realize more or lessclearly that
his bad roads that kill his teams, amash
his vehicles, and ruin his temper are
due not to fate or Providence, but to
foolery and negligence esaentially hia
own. Throughout the State the farmer
ia moving to correct both. He has ac
cepted the fact that if he wants good
roads he will have to pay for them; but
he also begins to realijie the ditTerence
between a perpetual drain on his re
sources for which he geta nothing in re?
turn, and a wise and judicious inveat
ment that pays from the beginning.
This is the aecret of the great im
l>etus that has been given to road
building in the State. Good roads can
only be built at a heavy cost; but the
universal experienee of the world has
been that, however much it waa neces
sary to expend in building ?thetn, good
roads have been worthalland morethan
all they cost.
It is inlinitely gratifying to all who
are interested in the progress and well
being of Virginia to see the growth of
the demand for good roads. - News

on thesubject aato what they are doing,
what ia the anawer? I can't find work
to do. Why? Young man. itia just this,
because aome one will not employ you
at aome fancy salary to begin with,
even before the employer knowa what
you can do.
Young man, you cannot demand a
fancy salary when you are continually
lounging around atorea and other publie

what you can do and await the promo

you make good.
