Two OF, The Doctors.

There are two stories that are told at
the Savage club. Doctor is sent for to
attend sick woman; on his arrival finds
woman dead. "Why was I not sum-
moned sooner?" doctor asks, angrily.
1--WE did think of it," explains the be-
reaved husband, "but we concluded that
it would be cheaper to let 'er die a nat
ural DEATH"
On another occasion doctor arrives too
late; husband explains. "You see, doc
tor" says husband, "when she COM
planned of feelin' bad I gave her the pill
you prescribed for me a year ago, but
which l didn't take. It's lawful, know,
but think wot would ave 'appened if I'd
ave taken itv"-Eugene Field in Chicago

Electric Light and Trees.

Observers in many Of the small cities
blessed with shade trees have noticed
that those trees near electric lights have
been blighted by something, and, for the
lack of some nor apparent cause, the
trouble is ascribed to the electric lights.
The local arboriculturists say that the
trees need darkness as much as men need
sleep. There seems to be some reason
in supposing that the nearness of the
electric lights is the cause of the droop-
ing of the trees, for similar trees, not ex-
posed to any other illumination than
that of the sun, have not been affected
in that way and are bright and strong

THE SPIRIT ROSEBUD.

Baby Is dcad-spcak low, step light;
How tranqucl is her rest!
Her tiny hands were placed last niglh
Upon her wax9a breast.
And when the morn broke calm and bright,
And deep vas our despair,
We gazed upon her face so white,
And saw q sweet smile there.
The mourning mother sobbed aloud
AS she her darling scanned;
And while each head In sorrow bowed
She fixed within rs hand
A tiny rosebud, fresh and sweet.
Which round it's perfume shed.
This, this" she moaned, "is emblem meet
For my dear, precious dead!"
Next day, while Borrowing neighbors stood
Holding sweet flowers of spring,
The tiny rosebud, red as blood,
Showed signs of opening.
And ere the funeral rites were through
Each mourner In the room
Thrilled with establishment to view
The bud burst in full bloom.
The clergyman, with trembling voice
And deep emotion, said:
"Rejoice. my sorrowing friends, ~rejoicei
The baby is not dead!
God, In his loving tenderness,
This token sweet has given,
That she who budded In distress
Is blooming now in heaven!"

Tic Faltbfu, shephcrd Doc.

A shepherd had driven part of his
flock to a neighboring fair, leaving his
dog to watch the rest during that day,
expecting to rejoin them in the morn
ing. Unfortunately, however, the shep-
herd forgot both his dog and his sheep,
and did not return home till the morn
ing of the third day. His first inquiry
was whether the dog had been seen.
The answer was "No." "Then he must
be dead" replied the shepherd, with a
look Of pain, "for 1 know lie was too
faithful to desert his CHARGE" He went
back to the heath directly. The dog had
just enough strength left to crawl to his
masters feet, and express his joy at his
return, and then he died.-New York

m.ins,: s,r,t woo,en Mill.

The Dexter Eastern State gives some
interesting facts connected with the
WOODEN manufacturing industry in Maine.
The second wooden mill in the United
States was erected at North Andover,
Mass. A year or two after its starting
the proprietors built another mill at An
dover, Mass, and, about the same time,
1917, two of the same family, Jerry and
Amos Abbott, started northward to look
for a site for a saw mill and wooden mill.
They decided on Dexter and in 1920 es-
tablished the business there. This was
not only the first cloth making mill in
Maine, but the first to ship goods from
Maine to the Boston market.-Lewiston

From anthropological measurements
made on Cambridge students it appears
that their heads continue to grow after
the age of 10. Those who have obtained
high honors have had, on the average,
considerably larger brains than the others
at the age of 10, the predominance at
that age being greater than at rs, q fact
which is held to imply precocity as an
element in the success of high honor men.

whereby the goodhealthh has been attained
is gratefully blessed. Hence it is that SO
much is heard in praise of Electric Bit

1t is we'll known to all who have studied
music that there are three fundamental
notes, viz: The first, third and fifth of
the scale, represented in the natural key
of G major by the letters G, E and g.
These notes, when sounded together, pro-
duce the common chord, and are the
foundation of all harmony in musical
composition. So it is in chromatics-
there are likewise only three funda-
mental colors-blue, red and yellow,
forming the triad, whence arises all har-

that it has buried Mr.. Grant Allen out of

Of women at all. The French women
are still in the swaddling bands of old

that the higher education of women
tends to check the growth of population,
France ought to increase far more rap
