A rustic of wonder and respect went
through the room as the women moved un
easily in their chairs, exchanged glances
and said "My!" which inspired Miss Beers
to go on:
And here everybody's been talking bad
about her, while she's been a real home

''She shouldn't ha' let her good be evil

The strife Of tongues, however, did not
spare Aunt Beulah, if the deacons did; and
for long time Miss Beers, who had the
key to the situation, did not hear any Of the
gossip, partly because she had been i'll Of
low fever, and then gone to her sisters in
Dartford for change of air, and partly that,
during July and August the sewing circle
was temporarily suspended. But it renew
ed it's sessions in September; and Miss Beers
was an active member, sure to be at the
first meeting. 1t was then and there she
heard the scorn and jeers and unfounded
stories come on like tidal wave to over
whelm her friends character. She listened
a few minutes in. silence, growing more
and more indignant Then, for she was a
little woman as far as stature went, she
mounted into chair, and demanded the
floor in her own fashion.
''Look a-here!" said she, her shrill voice
soaring above the busy clapper of tongues

word about Beulah Larkin. She's as good
a woman as breathes the breath of life, and

An APPEAL TO WINTER.

Boston Transcript.
Cold weather, go! fridgid dallier, go!
Too long you've fingered hereaoout-
Too long, alas too long! YOU'RE dreadful slow!
Come Vamose! clear! get out!
Too long you've nipped our ears and aching
hands;
Too long you've pierced us through and
through;
Too long you've held us in your icy bands
o leave rs quickly, do!
Too long we've watched the mercury in the
glass,
Too long we've lied about the thing;
Much have we all to answer for, alas!
Come, 60! twill soon be Spring!
Do go! The ice-man has his harvest made,
The coal-men sure have made enough:
With colds and rheumatic you've thousands
Stayed:
We've had quite quantum suff.
Go now! There is a time, I'm certain quite,
When you will be by far welcomer.
Come when the days are hot, when skeeters
Yes, come next Summer.

Hard Winters in Minnesota.
From the Winona Republican.

From the WlnOna Kepubncan.
In view of the common remark that this
is the severest winter ever known in the
west, it may be interesting to read the fol-
lowing observations on the winter of 1928,
taken from MIR. Ely's notes under date of
March 6, 1873:
The winter of 1928 will fall into history
as the hardest, coolest, dullest and longest
since the settlement of Minnesota. AS a
cold winter it is without precedent in the
present generation. The frost king has
destroyed more then two thirds Of the vege-
tables stored for winter use, and sad havoc
has been made with house plants; very few
families, with the utmost care, have been
able to make the treasures live. They
could find no nook or corner from cellar to
garret that the frost did not claim in some
hour during the nearly one hundred days of
winter siege. In the last month Of the old
year business was nearly suspended by the
horse disease. In the first month of the
new year the deep drifting snow and the
intense cold weather rendered travelling
either by team or rail almost impossible, or
at least attended with great difficulty. Thus
only those things were done which were
absolutely necessary as a condition of lv-
ing. We begin to hope that the winter is
nearly over; perhaps we had the farewell
benefit on the morning Of the 4th of March,
when the thermometer was 26 degrees be-
low zero. doubt whether there is man
living who ever saw SO colda day in spring
month.
The cold was unquestionably more severe
though scarcely more prolonged in the win
ter referred to above than it has been dur
ing the present winter, yet the inconvenience
to the railroads caused by drifting snow
on the prairies Of the frontier is vastly grea-
ter now than it was then.

THE FARMER FEEDETH ALL.

Ny lord rides through his palace gate,
Ny lady sweeps along in state,
The sage thinks long on many thing,
And the maiden muses. on marrying:
The minstrel harpeth merrily,
The sailor ploughs the foaming sea,
The huntsman kills the good red deer,
And the soldier wars without fear.
But fall to each whate'er befali,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Smith hammereth cheerily the sword.
Priest preacheth pure and holy word,
DAME Alice worketh broidery well,
Clerk Richard tales of love can tell.
The tap-wife sells her foaming beer,
Dan Fisher fisheth in the mere,
And courtiers ruffle, strut and shine,
While pages bring the Cascon wine,
But fall to each whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Man builds his castles fair and high,
Whatever river ruaneth by,
Great cities rise in every land,
Great churches show the builders hand,
Great arches, monuments and toweors,
Fair palaces and pleasing bowers;
Great work is done, between here and ther'
And we'll man worketh everywhere;
But work or rest, whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
Charles G. Leland.

A Notable Declaration.

The Declaration of Independence of the
Dutch Beers. Tor farmers) of South Africa
is remarkable for it's eloquence, it's pathos,
it's religious fervor, and its bitter indictment
of the British rulers for the wrongs and
outrages suffered at their hands. The De-
claratien of independence is too lengthy for
publication in our columns, but the follow
ing extract from the document, being the
Beers oath of allegiance to each other,
gives an idea Of the spirit and temper Of
the signers:
OATH OF ALLEGIANCE.
In the presence of Almighty God, the
searcher of hearts, and praying for His
gracious assistance and mercy, we, burgh-
ers of the South African republic, have SOL
emnly agreed, for us and for our children,
to unite in holy covenant, which We con-
firm with a solemn oath. It is now forty
years ago since our fathers left the Cape
Colony to become free and independent
people. These forty years were forty years
of sorrow and suffering. We have founded
Natal, the Orange Free State, and the
South African republic, and three times has
the British government t1ampled out our
liberty. And our flag, baptised with the
blood and tears of or fathers, has been
pulled down. As thief in the night has
our free republic been stolen from us. We
cannot suffer this, and we may not. 1t is
the will of Gsd that the unity of our fathers
and our love to our children should oblige
us to deliver unto our children unblemished
the heritage of our fathers. It is for this
reason that we here unite and give each 9TH
er the hand as men and brethren, solemn
ly promising to be faithful to our country
and people, and, looking unto God, to
work together unto death for the restora-
ton of the liberty of our republic. So tru-
ly help us, God Almighty.

ROthSchild's Porcelain Service.


Baron Rothschild tells the following story
as he exhibits his porcelain service:
One day an old man, careworn;; wrinkled,
verge of the grave, presented himself before
Baron James Rothschild, soliciting the hon.
or of an interview with the famous banker
The old man was so aged, SO poor, and so
detected an aspect that the Baron was i'm
mediately impressed with compassionate
feeling, and this became lively interest on
learning that he was a jew. The aged visi-
tor took from his bag a rich and beautiful
plate, SO splendid1y wrought that the Baron
admired it exceedingly.
''Sir,' said the patriarch, Twill you buy
this of me? have the whole set, and a SER
vice SO beautiful must find it's fitting place
in the mansion of the prince of fnanciers.
"It is indeed very fne." sal | the Baron.
''How much do you wish for the service?"
Look you, sir, !" said the old man, II am
bowed down with years, and have not long
to live. am poor, and wish to end my
days in comparative comfort. Will you in
exchange for this valuable piece Of porce-
($2O) month? It is not much for YOU and
I am so DID,"
The Baron looked at the poor old man,
examined the plate again, and after a few
moments reflection said: ''Well, be it so;
here is the first payment. Send me the
service and i've me your name that I may
have it entered in my treasurers book"
The splendid set of porcelain was deliv-
cred the same day to the Baron, and a
month afterward, while he was seated in his
counting house, a man entered and asked
for the second payment of the proposed in
come. But the man was young, scarcely
81 years of age, of vigorous constitution
and great muscular developement, and
looked as if he would live for 100 years.
"But you are not the mani" exclaimed the
astonished banker.
Excuse me. Baron" said he; II am in
deed the man."
But you appeared at least so years DID,"
said the Baron.
But, sir, am only 30," said the man.
''In fact" continued the Baron, 81
thought your venerable appearance did not
belle your assertion
II have wonderfully recovered, observed
the man, "and thanks to your generosity"
Fhe Baron laughed heartily, and gave
orders for the payment Of the money, ex-
claiming, "Ah! you are an excellent COM
medlan, and have taken me in thoroughly"
Il am probably the first who has done
so,,"'. replied the jew politely bowling to the
millionaire
For years Rothschild paid the monthly
allowance. His porcelain service is SO ex-
qulslt that he does not complain.

is a sunny one, made more cheerful by a
bright Administer carpet and window drap-

tainly a great change from other days
within her remembrance, when, left a wild

washed and cooked, and toiled and sewed
that her children might be educated. Her
stalwart son, who, over thirty years ago,
grew so tall that she could walk under his
outstretched arm without STOPPING, still de-
fers to her slightest wish, with the same
obedience that he rendered when boy.
Hers has always been the post of honor at
the generals table, and no matter what dis
tinguished guests are present, she invaria-

matron made, whose head barely reaches
her sons elbow, when she came proudly

States, escorted thither by the grandest
civic and military display that Washington
has ever witnessed.

Important supreme Court do
cist0ns.

WASHINGTON, Jan. PA decision
was rendered by the Supreme Court
of the United States this afternoon in
the case Of III. c.. G. Hartman against
Samuel G. Greenhow, treasurer Of the
city of Richmond Va. brought upon
a writ OF error from the Virginia Su-
preme COnrt OF Appeals. The ques'
ton involved is the validity OF an ACT
of the State Legislature passed in 1874
by which tax was imposed upon
the funding bonds of the State and by
which tax collectors were directed
not to receive the interest coupons Of
such bonds in payment of taxes with
out first deducting from them the
amount of the State tax upon
the bends OF which they had
originally been a part. This court
holds that the act in question impos'
ing a tax on the funding bonds and
forbidding tax collectors 10 receive
the coupons thereof at their full face
value in payment of taxes is uncon'
stitutt onal and void, for the reason
that it impairs the obligation of a con-
tract. The Judgment of the Supreme
Court of Appeals Of Virginia is there
