WANDERLUST.
I am homesick for the hills;
They call me all day long
To hear the music of the streams,
The pine tree's whispered song.
I am homesick for the hills;
Sly soul longs for the balm.
O, to be there, among tfiera,
Their solftudes and calm.,
O. to be there, among them,
'Neath sky so blue and clear,
' Where the world of men seems far away,
And God so very near!
I am homesick for the hills?
Green-clad, with spruces tall.
Where golden mists come creeping down,
And nurple shadows fall.
And T long to sit at sunset
On high places that I know.
And watch the rose and crimson flush
Upon the banks of snow.
I am homesick for the hills.
Where life is full and free.
Where the air is like a draft of wine?
There's where 1 fain would be!
'And my straining eyes look westward,
My heart with longing fills.

said, suddenly rousing himself, "and s

j "I hadn't spoken to her,'' he ex- ^
plained, taking a knowledge o? some r
? tender sentiment for granted, "and !
before the other one came back !

there, just an ordinary letter, and c
she wrote these two back. There's f
nothing in them I can't show you.
They're just ordinary." ^
i They were quite ordinary. The t
writing was characterless; the verbi- ^
age commonplace to the point of ^
weariness. She probably had been ~
only an indifferent understudy of the r
plain and useful person who usually t
filled the chair of the society editor

'I saw her once, after I was rnus- ,

ters away in his breast pocket. "And '
she seemed just the same, as fair and ?
fresh and fragrant as ever. We y
talked to each other casually. Some- f
how, I don't know why, I didn't even
'speak' to her then; and I came en ,
here. A month afterward I read of
her marriage to a row of apartment
houses and a coal mine."
He seemed to be groping back in
his memory for some rag of a fluttering
passion, some shadow of romantic
regret. But he found none. The
sentiment seemed close all through
the years, but it moved on a parallel
track. It was not in his train.
44 A row of apartment houses and a
coal mine," he ruminated, speculating
on the probable income, and feeling
dollar's worth of change in his
pocket with reckoning figures. "And
?I got married, too."
That last he was cheerful about.
But the habit of being cheerful and s
consistently tender about his own <
marriage was habitual. "Then, of
course," he said, "I forgot. Or
thought I had . . And I hadn't. !
. . . It's a funny world, isn't it?"
He looked for exterior comment on
the inexplicable humor of things to s
explain the situation, skipping the i
.thought that visualized the tender J
places as fingers searching for a ?
wound skip the contusions. <

?She never knew how it was," he

"She didn't understand. I never

He felt his own biceps in the primitive

flabby, and ?I wonder how she likes
it. She didn't look a day older; just
as fresh and rose-pink as she was

friend quoted, 'and the years we

MAKING CLOTH FROM TWINE.
[Herman Experiment to Secure Warmth
- and Cheapness.
A few years ago some one wh?
sinew* how* great ivas the warmth that
night be secured from a few newspapers
employed as a bed covering in
ivinter tried the experiment of foldng
the same material under ordinary
dothing in the daytime. Then came
nto use a flexible but heavy paper o?
i special kind for coat linings and
mdergarments. The paper was
ailed fibre chamois, because, while
t was made out of cheap fibre, it
vas soft and flexible and looked a Iitle
like chamois skin. Much more re:ently
the attempt has been made in
ksrmany to produce garments from
rood or paper fibre, not by cutting j
>ut large sheets and sewing them at
he edges, but by spinning it into
bread and weaving it into cloth.
This plan differs from the one folowed
in manufacturing a certain imtation
of silk, and is apparently
heaper. When ribbons are made by
he so-called Chardonnet process !
rood is sufficiently dissolved by chem- !
cals to become like thick mucilage.
.Tie substance can then be drawn out
nto extremely fine and rather tough
hreads and worked up into cloth

of the latest experiment is aptarently
not lustrous, and the threads
,re composed of paper which has not
teen treated with fluids which alter
ts appearance or character. Xylolin,
,s the article is called, can be '
deached so as to look like cotton or
inen. but, while not so elastic, it is
aid to be less expensive. It can, of
ourse, be dyed, and by using threads
f different colors pretty patterns are
btainable. Warmth rather than
:reat durability is its chief recommendation,
apparently, though as it
oes not attract mpths it might make
good substitute for wool.
The attempt to manufacture cloth
iut- of paper twiae is said to have
made repeatedly in the United
itatcs. Several patents for the purpose
were taken out years ago, but j
or some reason it was not found ad- j
isable to operate under them. Now
hat the inventors' rights have exlired,
it is said that the idea is reeiving
a trial in this country. Aparently,
though, the principal expernient
with xylolin is being made in
rermany. According to a recent conular
report the yarn can be woven
nto almost any fabric, such as dress
oaterials, tents, bathing suits, imitaion
Panama hats, carpets and grain
tags. Since xylolin is odorless it may
aak<; eicellent bags for sugar, coffee
ina salt.
Tapestries, not printed, but woven
n colors, as well as toweling of xyloin,
are alike being produced. Not
>nly can the yarn be used in coarser
abrics, but it has also been tried sucessfully
in hand-made cushion laces,
lie yarn can be readily used in kniting
and pleating. Woven xylolin
roated with a waterproof dressing
Iocs not seem to crack by wrinkling
u* friction, to the injury of the water
esisting coat. One would imagine
hat a fabric of paper yarn would
eadily ignite and that a lighted
natch falling on a paper rug could
>e exceptionally dangerous. It is as;erted,
however, that a burning
natch stem will do more damage to
t woolen or jute rug and be more
ikely to lead 10 disastrous conseluences.
While not uninflammable,
tn ordinary rug of paper yarn will
>urn scarcely easier than a wooden
loor.
Some criticism has been offered
tbout paper cloth, with an inclination
o compare it to sheet paper or rub>er,
whereas even underclothing
nade of paper yarn has been found
>y experience to be satisfactory. Modern
authorities on hygienic clothing
iecry the wearing of garments that
ire so woven as to permit only a very
slow exchange of the toxic emana;ions
of the body with the outer air.
Accordingly, advocates of xylolin
lone for a wider use of woven or
tnit paper cloth garments, not only
nmcng people who cannot afford to
)uy more expensive clothing, but also
imong well-to-do classes, because the
?aper material is cleanly and readily
laundered. Even caustic soap, instead
of injuring it, is said to make
:he fabric softer.

A PRESERVATIVE OF WOOI).
Successful Experiments Made in Belgium
with Coal Tar Extract.'
Vice-Consul J. A. Van Hee, of
Ghent, says that recent experiments
in Belgium made with a new
coal tar extract, known as "injectol,"
have given satisfactory results. He
writes: "
"The experiments were principally
devpted to the treatment of wooden
poles and blocks used in street paving.
The product is a liquid, of a
dark brown color, very thin, and of
regular density. Its degree of viscosity
changes very little with atmospheric
variations. One of the principal
advantages is its pentration into
certain woods without any pressure.
For the antiseptic treatment of compact
woods, using the apparatus similar
to the "Breant" system, the time
necessary for the pressure and soaking
into of a given quantity of injectol
is considerably less than for

creosote.
"It has been found that where creosoted
poles in the ground have only
resisted decay for a few months,
those treated with injectol remained
unattached after three years. Similar
experiments were also made with
railway sleepers, treated with different
antiseptics. Some were soaked
in a mixture of coal creosote, creosote
and chloride of zinc, and two
were treated with injectol. After
having been left for two years in 3
steeping vat composed of miscellaneous
decomposing substances, it
was fonnd that the two treated with
injectol were still in good condition,
while the others were almost completely
destroyed. Similar results
were obtained with wooden blocks
for street paving."

Cops the Coveted Rag.
The Chicago National League basej

Park, in Detroit, won the world's
championship, defeating the Detroit
j American League team by the score
of 2 to 0. It was the fourth sucgpssive
victory for the Chicago team
in as many days.
The "rooters" who had followed the
j Chicago team from the home city
i swarmed down to the diamond when
I
! the ninth inning closed, and showered
them with congratulations. Then several
hundred of them formed in line
and marched down Michigan avenue,
headed by a band, cheering and singing
in celebration of their victory.
Saturday night, President William
H. Yawkey of the Detroit American
League, added as a gift to his players
for winning the American League pennant
$15,000 to their share of the receipts
from the world's series which
closed in their defeat, making $36,973.36,
which the local piayers will
divide. The share of the Chicago Na
tional League team in the world's re- j
ceipts is $32,900.03.
Secretary Bruce of the National
Baseball Commission announced that
the total attendance at the five games
which were played in the series was
78,086 and the gross receipts $101,728.50.
The receipts were divided as
follows: National commission, $10,172.85;
Chicago and Detroit baseball
clubs, $1S,311.13 each; Chicago National
League team, $32,960.03; Detroit
American League team, $21,973.36.
Had the American League team been
successful in the series just closed
and won the world's championship ontop
of their capture of the American
League pennant,- Mr. Yawkey's gift,
It was announced, would have been
$30,000 instead of $15,000.

MANY CONCERNS BOGUS
While Masquerading as ' Independent'*
Certain Companies Are Disclosed
as Being Part and Par
eel of Parent Octopus.
Hampton G. Westcott, vice president
of the Standard Oil company of Ken* !
tucky, testified Monday in th3 hearing
at New York of the federal suit
against the oil combine that in several
of the southern states the Standard
had found it expedient to sell
much of its products through companies
which the public believed to be
independent
Mr. Kellogg, counsel for the government
drew from the witness that the
Standard Oil company of Kentucky,
which acts as selling agent of oil in
Kentucky, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Tennessee and Alabama bad purchased
numerous small independent
selling companies and through many
of them sold oil to the consumer.
Mr. Westcott'threw a side light on
the business department of the Standard,
concerning which the federal counsel
has been seeking information since
the beginning of the inquiry.
Mr. Westcott testified that each
month the main office of the Standard
Oil company of Kentucky at Covington,
sent to him not only the reports
of the business operations of the
Standard, but statements concerning
freight shipments and sale of oil by
all competitors. These statements, according
to Mr. Westcott, gave the name
of the consignor, the consignee, the
amc / t of oiL'shipped and any informal/n
that , might be available.
One of the most startling of the disclosures
made during the day came
when Mr. Westcott testified that for
several years the company has had a
bureau set aside for the sole purpose
of keeping down the prices of rival
concerns.
The bureau, which was under the
supervision of W. E. Bemas, was given
every detail of information concerning
companies rivaling the subsidiary
concerns of the Standard Oil company
by spies in the employ of the
latter corporation.
Mr. Westcott testified that he had
often mace reports as to tne prices
of oil charged by rival companies in
his state, and he forwarded the reports
to the statistical bureau ' of
which Bemas had charge. After Mr.
Westcott left the witness stand, a
government official connected with the
inquiry said:
"For years we have known of the
existence of the bureau, but have noi
before been able to find out anything
about it "When it was created it meant
a beginning of the end for the oil
companies who remained independent.
I negard Mr. Westcott's testimony as
the most important we have had at
the inquiry."
It was further learned that the bureau
is still in existence and is located
on the sixth fioor of the Standard Oil
building at No. 26 Broadway.
Mr. Bemas, however, left shortly before
the inquiry was started, and is
now said to be in Japan.
