return in the old style of investments.
So the English money is going into
manufactures which pay enormous

Regarding the mining interests of his

out, as the product last year amounted
10 $22, ,000, 900. He speaks in com

the more because in his contest Wolcott

How e Song Was Written.

Mrs. Caroline A. Mason, author of "Do
They Miss Me at Homer" wrote that
gong in 1869 when pupil in Bradford
academy, Massachusetts. At the time
she was young lady, heartsick and
signing for her Marblehead home. Her
father was DR., Briggs, an esteemed and
able physician of Marblehead. One of
her sisters, Harriet, married the Rev.
David Stoddard, missionary of the
American board, and died in a foreign
land. AT the time the sweet song was
written Harriet was a teacher in the
academy, and it was of this motherly
sister teacher that the younger sister
asked many times, "Do they miss me at
home?"-St Louis Post-Dispatch.
