The international tug-of-war which will
be held at the Pavilion in October should
prove success, judging from the large
number of teams representing various
nations and now practicing for the contests.
The prize will be $1,000, divided into four
parts. This will be the first professional
tug-of-war between foreign teams in this
city. With the contestants evenly matched,
1t should prove an interesting affair.

They Get the Gossip by Wire.

William Trip runs farm near Round
Lake and raises produce, which he sells to
the people living on the camp ground. His
wife sells excellent milk. and the couple,
who are past middle age, make a comfortable
living. The young folks of the camp ground
are found of visiting the farm, where they
drink milk and chat with Mrs. Trip, who,
through the medium of her private telegraph
line. knows all the country gossip for miles
around.
Last year the farmer, finding his evenings
heavy on his hands, bought telegraph in
strument and ran a wire to the railroad sta
tion two miles away From there he ex-
tended the line TO neighboring settlement
and later connected with two farm houses
several miles below. The farmer and his
wife have both become excellent operators,
and now spend their spare time exchanging
country gossip with their friends over the
wire. The telegraph operator in the rail
road station keeps them supplied with the
principal news items he hears from other
points on the road, and there are few better
informed residents of the county than

WHAT ISN'T.

II ism going to church to see what the

preacher.
1t isn't running in debt for things you
don't need and never paying for them.
1t isn't giving away a great deal of
money publicly, simply that the people
may speak well of you.
II isn't staying away from church when
you know a special collection is going to
be taken.
1t isn't leaving enc church and joining
another whenever you Go not like the
preacher.
1t isn't reading so mar = chapters a day,
or saying one prayer over ard over.
1t isn't sitting in the house and looking
solemn, ard refusing to eat anything
cooked on Sunday.
1t isn't putting all the big sound apples
on the top of the measure, and the little
and rotten ones in the bottom.
1t isn't telling other people what to do
in experimenting, and letting the devil tell
you what to do in business matters.
1t isn't whipping your boy for smoking

1t isn't telling the servant to say, Not

They seem tall by contrast with the
younger men, who are a short order Of
beings; neither in England nor America
does the height of man appear to increase.
Girls take more out-of-door exercise than
they used to get, and so have a chance for
fuller development--and they do not
smoke cigarettes. These probably help
to stunt the growing youth. 1t is a good
plan for a short-limbed family, where no
inherited height can be looked for, to take
the young folks to some mountain region
each summer when they are, say, from IL
to Is years of sge. There is something in
tie afr. or habits, Of the mountains that
make both boys and girls grow taller,
when they are given a free range. But
don't encourage the boys to smoke while
up there. Give them as good a chance to
be tall as the girls have.

L f TO HER AsGERED HUSBAND

To-day, if 1 were dead, and could not feel
Your kisses, or your tears upon my face;
If all the world could give OF woe, or veal,
Could find within my heart no resting plaza:
You would not think ofany bitter past;
You would not chide me for a careless word:
You could not be so cruel. at the last,
As to condemn me, uncon fessed, unheard.
If we're lying wrapt about in white,
With flowers all around me, on my breast,
And in my hands: and on my face the light
That angels shed upon their dead, at rest;
If were lying thus, and one should say
such bitter things as you have said to me,
With sternest anger you would drive away
That one, and swear 'twerea all base alumny.
If were lying underneath the ground,
And all the white snow heaped above my
head,
And you, amid the many, one had found
Who dared to say such things about me dead.
You had not words TO tell how false were they;
How most unkind was he of unkind men;
Yet all the cruel words that he might say
Would not have power to hurt me, grieve me
then.
Ifyou in coming back to-day should find
That death had entered and had called me
hence,
How would it be with you in your own mind9
Where for your grief could yen find recon-
pense?
The lips that you refused to kiss were still;
They had no chidings; erst they did not chide,
Nor tell their grievance closed by a firm will,
Held in dominion by Il sterner pride.
Oh, God! that one must live, and live, and
live,
And try TO be contented with the hope
That lie who knoweth all, will
give
The fullest love to fill the widest scope!
Yet here, oh. love, why should the days grow
long
And through ankindness bitter, Death is
near.
If you will love me when I'm dead, l pray
Grant me somewhat ofloveand kindness here.
I'll not rebuke you though my heart be full:
| dare not chide;i /, 100, may be astray:
Experience yet may teach-a bitter school
Me what TO do, and what, perchanee, to say.
And yet, l ask you. humbIy, tenderly,
III should answer nevermore your call,
Would you not grieve, of ali, most bitterly,
For words and deeds that are beyond recall?

HEROES WHO DISLIKE WORK.

Prince Nicholas, of Montenegro, before
leaving for Cannes, summoned the fight
ing men of several districts and addressed
them in the following terms: .You are
heroes, all of you, but you will not work.
Oar country would be as rich as if is glorious
if you would devote the same ardor to the
productive works of peace as you do to the
destructive labors of war. | waited for
you to recognize yourselves that men
must work, but as | have waited long in
vain | now direct that every Montenegrin
soldier who lives where vines can be
grown shall plant this year zoo vines.
Commanders of brigades shall plant 20,
commanders of battall ions 10; officers of
lower rank, 3, and non-commissioned
officers, ] olive tree apiece, aud whoever
shall voluntarily plant 2000 vines thls year
shall be exempt from taxes for ten years."
The heroes made wry faces over the
matter. but a command is a command, and
they are now busted at the degrading &C.
cupation of husbandry. 1t is calculated
that the Fourth Brigade alone will next
spring plant SEQ, eco, yints, 1920 olive trees
and that the whole army will enrich Mon
tenegIo with Loco, coo vines and 90
eco olive trees.

SLIM SUFFRAGE OR WOMAN
SUFFRAGE.

VIM. Lloyd Garrison said. at the animal
meeting of the National-American Woman
Suffrage Association:
was present, lately, at the meeting of
social club where the custom prevails of
having some men talk moderately on sub
Jects which are achieving popular notice;
and a talented lawyer read an interesting
paper on municipal government. 1t was q
humiliating recital, disheartening TO the
humane and optimistic, and anything but
a record of glory to the speakers sex. The
shadows were heavy and the lights sab
dued. The remedies proposed were paliia-
tives, not one of which touched the root Of
the trouble.
"How beautiful said a fashionable lady

A different view of the situation was
taken by a sensible woman who lives on
Fifth Avenue in New York. She has four
daughters, owns her house and has other
city property. When the slums poured
out their worst elements TO choose the law
makers whom Tammany provided. last
November, she said: ''Here am !. a rial

gence, and yet the only person in our house.

make against the vote of Cato, nor yet
against the voters from the slum; but I
aver that any city which admits them to
the polls and excludes such voters as this
lady and her daughters, reaps only what it
sows when life and property are 10 perpetual
peril.
