THE HEART OF sUaGuER.
Dora Reed Goodaie.


On glistoning fields and fervent skies
The summer lies:
The crystal rivers silver blaze
Dissolves in haze;
All, she drains the green earth dry,
Heart OF summer-hot Julyl
On FURNISHED lake her splendor broods:
On leafy woods;
On quaking marsh, whose hollow reeds
Grow black with seeds.
Fen and fallow basking lie;
These thy nurslings, hot July.
Thu ough meshes thick on either edge
OF brake and sedge,
The grassy stream is winding down
In dappled brown;
Down the hillside green and high
Shrunken captive-hot Julyl
She sleeps the meadow, shorn and sweet.
In binding heat;
The long-stemmed hriars burn anew
With red and blue.
Hold wide earth and melting sky,
Heart of summer hot iulyl
Full chaliced laurel rounds in green
The harsh ravine;
An ivory pallor yeined with pink :
CLOVIS on the brink
Stately clusters, cold and shy,
In thy bosom, hot July!
The stony pastures Melted vine
Is red as wine;
The yellow foX-glove in the woods
Grows big with buds;
Purple days are slipping by,
Through thy fingers, hot Julyl
Full slowly falls the sultry night
In jasper light
| The ragged moon dissolving lies
/ On the eastern skies,
SO at midnight thou shalt lie,
Heart OF summer, hot July.

cargo of ice in the brig Smith GgWLili0,
Captain Thornton. lie built an ice house
ont of tlntboat lumber, placed upright, MS
was common i'll those days. This house
was located ON Congo" Square. 10
gether with u number of other boys, said
DIR, Davidson, | went out to see the ice
hoisted pto the t,p of the house and
lowered into the bin provided for its
keeping. Once in while block would
fall, when we boys would run in to secure
our share of the fragments. While stand
ing there | heard n low, murmurinp
sound, like rain pattering on n prairie;
it increased in sound until suddenly a
mob pushed ON to the wurRnen and drove
them away, while they proceeded to de-
molish the building. The mob then
went to the river bank where the ice
was being mloaded, and cut the moor
fngs of the vessel and ordered the captain
to leave port. The excitement was SO
intense against the introduction of ice
that Mr.. Toro sent the cargo to the
West indies. The next morning the pa
pers published an article attacking my
father, DIR. Davidson. who was then
Health Physician, asserting that the doc
tors had advised the bringing Of ice to

ITS pEcUET4R ORIGIN.
The Wind Blew Through His Whis-
kcrs First VOiced in Delaware.

A reader writes to the Louisville
CoN1fer-,TomWM to ask "Would you
please explain the cause, or rather what is
the Joke or point in the remarks about
whiskers.n The editor replies the cause
of this Joke or point" dates back to
Revolutionary times. Thomas Jefferson
one Fourth of July was called into Della
ware to read the Declaration of Iudepen-
dence. Thomas felt considerable pride
in the matter, as lie himself had written
the Declaration.
II happened that strong wind was
blowing when he began to read, and his
whiskcrs, of course, parted in the middle.
A lady auditor, noticing this, remarked to
a nrighbor THE wind is blowing
through his whiskers.n Mr.. Jefferson
was so disgusted that he went home and
shaved every hair from his chin and
never raised whiskers again, us will he
seen by his portraits, Thousands of ex-
cellent citizens keep their boards closely
shaved to avoid the wind.

A Very Practical Reason for IsOach's
Assignment.

Ito ton Herald
The charge made by Republican organs
that Attorney General Garland and Score
tary Whitney have ruined John Roach is
simply ridiculous.
In the first place, it is by no means Ger
tain that John Roach is ruined, MS his
friends claim that his debts will he paid
and a handsome balance left over.
If he is ruined, il cannot be on account
of his government contracts, for, by
means of violation Of the law, he has
already received $2,0s2, 23O of the
$2,4IO, 900 which was the aggregate price
of the four ships, though all but the Dol
pliu ARE far from done.
Besides, Mr.. George NJ. Robrson,
ltoach's friend and defender, snys that
the government business has been only n
small part OF the operations of John
Roach. He says lie has built hundred
iron ships in eight years, only five of
which We're for the government.
We do not wish to be uncharitablc, but
it looks as though Mr.. John Roach, having
got nearly all the money for the govern
ment ships lie is building, would like to

The following is related in the Editors
Drawer Of Harpe1's for August:
President Cleyeland's grandfather was
the Rev. Aaron Cleveland, born at Had
dam, Conllecticut, February Sd, I744.
Mr. Cleveland was a Federalist of the
school of Jay and Hamilton, whom he
supported with more than ordinary zeal,
and perhaps not without something of the
prejudice which ranked all Jeffersonians
with French fatalists and infidels.
Many stories are told illustrating his
power of repartee. Among them Is the
following On horseback one day MIR.
Cleveland was riding from Middletown TO
Durham little stream bounded the
limits of the townships. He halted to
water his horses meanwhile young man,
having come from the opposite direction
drew rein so suddenly as to render the
water by the disturbance unfit 30 serve
for drink.
Good morning, MIR. Minister" said
the youth,
Good morning, Mr.. Democrat re.
piled the reverend gentleman.
"And pray why did you take me for q
Democrat ?" queried the young man.
pray why did you take me for a min
listen? ~ rojoined Mr.. Cleveland.
| 'Oh, said the fellow, "that is plain
enough by your dress
And TINT you are Democrat is plain
enough by yonr address," was the rotor
Of the preacher.
While visiting in New Haven, Connec
ticut, Mr.. Cleveland died suddenly, Sep
TENDER 2Ist, 1915. His remains were in
TERED in cemetery in that city. Hi
inheritance was a ueh-loved, respected
and stainless name.
