Ambition It was a hot day and Abe Shreter sat on a chair under the awning of Skinner’s grocery, with his feet on the head of a barrel and his head nodding with drowsiness. Colonel Harper, who had come into town and left his mule hitched in front of the postoffice, came along on his way to the drug store and halted to say: 1 declar’ to good- ness but I didn’t know yo' at first sight. Ppwerful hot day in town.” “Bless me, kurnel, bless me!” ex- claimed Abe in reply, as he slowly lowered his legs to give the colonel the benefit of the barrel. “I was jest a-thinkin' about yo’, kurnel—jest a- thinkin’ and a-pondering. How’s co’'n a-getting on this weather?” “Ought to be a little mo’ rain, meb- be, but co'n isn't looking ‘tall bad.” “And mewls hold their own, I reck- on to consider?” “Jest about hold their own, Abe; Jest about.” “That’s good, kurnel. If I can’t hold my own I'm still glad to see other folks do it. 'Things are looking up a bit for me, however. These yere Pike county scandalizers seem to have got tired of throwing me down and jumping on my head, and mebbe I'll get a chance to draw a long breath. Dawg-gone folks who ain’t willing for other folks to get along!” “Scandalize ain’t right” said the colonel as he moved his hat to mop his forehead. “Of co’sq it aln’t; of co’se not. Can't make a man better by scandalizing him—can’t possibly do it. Can’t put ambition into a man’s soul by throw- ing him down every week or two. He's got to be encouraged if yo’ want him to do his best. Have I been encour- aged in this town, kurnel? Has Plke county ever extended her hand to help me climb up?”? “Reckon not, Abe.” “No, suh; no, suh, ’cept by one soli- tary human being, whose name is Kur- nel Harper. You run to co'n and mewls, and yo' work 22 men on yo'r plantation the year round, but that don’t prevent you from seeing and realizing all sorts of situations. First- ly, I went into the late wah as a pri- vate soldier. T came out the same thing. Drat their pesky hides, but they were making captains and ma- jahs and kurnels, while I was pouring out my blood for love of country—that is, I was willing to pour, which is the same thing, I take it.” “’Bout the same, Abe,” paternally replied the colonel, “except that the bullets don’t hit yo'.” “When the wah ended I run for of- fice, same as all the rest. They owed me an office for having laid down my life for my country, but what was my reward? Kurnel Harper, I reckon yo’ can remember that I was knocked out —h’isted 20 feet high—snowed under till yo’ couldn’t see the top of my hat. That’s the way Pike county encour- aged me to grab hold with both hands and cllmb to the top!” “Yes, I remember about that” 'mused the colonel, as he watched a dog rolling over and .over in the dusty street. “Then I turned to law,” continued Abe as he hitched the chalr over to get a brace for his feet on & post of Lthe veranda. “Kurnel Harper, nobody on the face of this big earth will ever know how I pinched and saved and starved and worked to get that law business, down to a fine point. Did anybody encourage me? Not a critter. Not'a pesky varmint had a kind word for me. If 'd known yo' during them struggling times yo'd have been the man to open yo'r wallet and hand me out $30 or so, and tell me to pay it back in my own good time. Yes, that would have beén yo, kurnel.” “Yes, mebbe,” doubtfully replied the colonel. v “Wall, I got to be a lawyer. Then what? I wanted practice. I finally got a case and went into court with it, but the pesky jury was lying in am- bush to throw me down. Yes, suh— had the purtiest, nicest, cleanest ease yo- ever heard tell of, and that jury was bound by law and evidence to bring in a verdict for me, but I got the cold flop instead. They brought my client in gullty of stealing a hawg when he was 30 miles away at the time, at the bedside of his dying mother. Do yo' call that encouraging a young man, kurnel? Was that giv- ing me a show to climb up? “Can’t skassly call it that, Abe, but 1f I remember right, they found fresh -pork in yo'r client's house.” “They found meat there, of co'se, but was it the meat of that yere hawg | or some other? They never stopped to consider, kurnel—jest throwed the verdict agin me in order to crush me out. BSame way in the second case, and the third and fo'th, No matter how many witnesses I had or )w\ plain I made my case, no Plke county jury would find for me. How m times have yo’ to flop a young m Kurnel Harper, to kill off his = tion and take the fight out of him?” “"Bout fo’ times, I reckon.” “Jest about fo’ times, kurnel. After that fo'th flop I reallzed that Pike eounty was agin me as a lawyer, and I went into politics. There I was flopped agin.” “But yo' won't have to go to work, will yo', Abe?” queried the colonel. “Never In this world, kurnel; never in this world. That's what Pike coun- v wum to drive me into, but she m succeed.” AUG, 10, 1912. not perfumes exactly, toilet Waters are always scented, and thelr use is very bemeficial to the skin, par- ticu in the summer, when it needs all the refreshment it can get. The scented waters are diluted with plain water for use, for some of the vin- egars are so strongly perfumed as to seem disagreeable when used full strength, From 20 drops to a teaspoonful of the toilet water is put in a basin bath, the water so tredted being intended for the rinsing .after a cleaning sponge or tub bath, The liquid is left to dry on the skin, as one of the chief purposes of the toilet water is its ton- ic effect. After a weary day, a rub- down with a good toilet water, proper- ly diluted, makes one feel like & new being, and while it is very convenient to get the vinegars ready made they | & can be turned out at home very eufly and sometimes much more cheaply. Of all the fragrant tollet waters none is 8o much used as rose water, and when this is pure it posseeses the greatest cosmetic virtues. mula for this delicious toilet water calls for four pounds of rose petals and ten quarts of water. The water Is first distilled and then poured cold upon the petals, which are ghaken around in the liquid, Then the vessel I8 loosely covered and put in a cool, dark place for several weeks, until the liquid becomes odorous. Then it Is again distilled, and the drippings are gathered in small bottles and closely corked. Another formula calls for putting the rose petals in an earthern jar and covering them with a weak brine of common salt. The roses may be gathered every day, and the petals sdded as they come handy. An improved still can be made by fastening an india rubber tube to the spout of a tea kettle and passing it through cold water to condense the gteam. The distillate, or drippings should be received in a glass or earth- en receptacle; for if toilet waters come in contact with copper, zinc or lead, they will exidize the metals. Stills for home use, however, can be bought very cheaply in the shops— from a dollar and a half up. .

A toilet liquid much used by the ladies of the olden times, and often called to this day “angel water,” is much esteemed for its beauty value. It can be made at home in the follow- ing manner: Rose-water .5 ounces Orange-flower wa Myrtle water . Essence of amberg Essence of musk ..,.. Mingle the various substances and agitate the bottle for several hours, continuing the shaking during the day quite frequently for some weeks. Keep ths bottle closely stopperedand in & warm, dark place. Let it stand for two weeks or longer, then decant the liquid, and if it is not perfectly clear, filter it. Properly made, angel water should be almost colorless, There are many uses for bay rum, one being that it is admirable for mas- saging the scalp after the shampoo, when one is likely to catch cold or the hair needs some little dressing to keep it in order. But if it is used too often or too lavishly on the head it will dry out the locks. Bay rum of a very good sort is cheap emough at the drug store, but if one is clever at turning out beauty preparations this formula would give about as pure a thing as could be had: Ofl of bay ... 20 grains Ofl of orange | Ol of pimenta . Aleohol Water . Dissolve the olls in the alcobol and add the water. Then stir into the 1iquid about two ounces of precipated phosphate of lime and filter. This will improve with age. —e New Color Schemes. Navy blue and violet are dominating colors in milllnery, and are cerise, orange, green and gray straw.
