The wife of Gen. Crook, the Indian
fighter is regarded as public benefaetor
by the people of Arizona. 1t came about
in this way: She was travelling across the
territory by rail several years ago. Her
lunches had been provided by a city
caterer, and the most striking feature oil
them was the abundance of watercresses.
There were altogether too many crosses
to suit Mrs Crooks taste, and accord
ngly she threw them out of the window.
But.she did not dispose of them hap
hazard. The country is crossed by innmu-
cradle brooks, and it was only IN passing
them that Mrs. Crook threw out the super
nuous crosses. They took root on The
spots where they fell and multiplied with
marvellous rapidity. The result is that TO
day this delicate appetizer is to be found
in almost all parts Of the territory where
before Mrs. Crooks chance sowing it was
entirely unknowp. -Nem York Sun.

OUR LIFE POEM.

We're writing a poem, you and i;
twill not be finished until we die.
Each day there is written line,
Each month IS II verse of this life song,
Each year canto that seemeth long;
And none may know of the outside throng,
This heart history, yours and mine
Sometimes the verses are happy and glad,
Sometimes they sob out n meaning sad,
As the poem we daily trace
on pages ut first SO clean and white,
And the lines are sparkling with life and light
or they tell a tale of sorrows blight,
And the story we cannot erase.
on our hearts Ills written, safe from gaze
The world if it only could read
The poem of life we're writing, my friend,
God alone knowing when it will end;
But still the record is daily penned
of onr every word and deed.
And as we write God watches our PEN
He knoweth those things beyond our ken,
And He smiles in infinite love;
And our trembling fingers in His rich grace
He guides as the lines we feebly trace,
While moments and hours fly apaee
Like the flight of a frightened dove.
Sometimes the measures are rough and crude
The metre is hating, the language rude;
But God will the proof correct
And our feeble words he will rewrite
Until they glow with heavenly light,
AS lifes waning day fades into night,
And he will the poem perfect.

FOR BUSY GIRLS.

Miss Grace H. Dodge, of New York,
who was recently honored by Mayor
Hewitt with an appointment as member of
the Board of Education (being one of
the first two ladies ever appointed to that
position, we belicve), has written "a prac-
teal little volume Of everyday informa-
ton and suggestions TO busy girls. We
extract few points:
Let the stomach rest part OF tue time,
and not by constant nibbling of frnit,
cake or candy, keep it at work with moth
ing really to work upon.
If an article is needed, buy it, but don't
purchase to lay by, just because it is $50
cheap"
Millinery classes shonld be as popular as
those of dress-makiDg.
The true lady will be courteous polite
and kind at home as in company. How
often do wo remember ''thank you,'
''please," excuse me-" at home?
Besides being economical in cooking,
there are three other essentials which we
should early know: First, perfect cleanli-
ness. Second, system or regular method.
Third, accuracy.
In all accidents, the poor person who has
met with it mist first be given plenty OF
air; secondly, he or she must be kept as
.auet and as free from excitement as pos
sible; thirdly, clothing must be loosened.
