"The Axe that once Was AdISrs, is In
Energetic Hands"
LYRIC FROM THE EDITORIAL PAGE OF THE NEW

LYRIC FROM THE EDITORIAL PAGE OF THE NE
YORK SUN.
There's a rascal holding ofice,
And he amt Democrat:
He has FURNISHED up his morals,
And is asking where he's at.
He says he was neglectful
OF the G. o. P. S demands;
But:
The axe that once was Adlai's
Is in energetic hands.
There's a man in Minnesota,
Aud he humbly says II am
worker with the patriots
Who are helping Uncle Sam"
He never was offensive.
And he joined no campaign bands:
But:
The axe that once was Adlai's
Is in energetic hands.
There's man in Mississippi,
Where the corn and cotton grow,
Who say he done his duty
And he ought TO have a show.
He wasn't stuck on Benny,
Everybody understands;
But:
The axe that once was Adlai's
Is in energetic hands.
They're thick from Maine 70 Texas.
They're in and want 10 stay
Nobody else is worthy,
According to their say;
They rise above all parties,
They make but just demands;
But:
The axe that once was Adlais
Is In energetic hands
All glory to old Adlail
Likewise to "Smiling Bob"
His loyal young viceRerent
Well fitted for the job
Turn on the light of jackson,
Look at him as he stands,
With
The axe that once was Adlai's
In his energetic hands.

The Green Mountain grape originated in
Vermont, says the Maine Farmer. 1t can
be relied on as earlier than the Delaware,
Salem, Concord, or even Moore's Early,
and in all probability can be depended up
on to ripen in this state. 1t is only medi-
um in size and is of bright lively green
in color when ripe. Amateur growers
throughout New England who have grown
this grape speak highly of it.

In another column of this paper will be
found an advertisement OF agents wanted
by the Henry Bill Publishing company of
Norwich, Conn, to sell the biography of
James G. Blaine, which they are TO pub

long a member of the family of the dead
statesman, and now his sole literary exec
utor, and the possessor, jointly with his
wife and surviving children, of all the au-
thentic material for writing his life. 1t

lished Mr.. Blaines great work, Twenty

have now been entrusted with the issue of
his biography 1t is due them, and due the
public, to have it known. Miss Hamilton s
life will be the only authentic life of Mr..
Blaine, made up from original material ac-
cessible to no one else, and prepared with
the endorsement and assistance of Mrs.
Blaine,

How a Little Boy Learned a Lesson

1t was very hot day, and the little
boy was lying on his stomach under
the big linden tree reading the "Scot-
fish Chiefs" "Little boy" said his
mother, twill you please go out in the
garden and bring me head of lettuce?"
"Oh, I-can'tl' said the little boy.
=" I'm-too hot!" The little boys
father happened to be close by weed ng
the geranium bed, and when he heard
this he lifted the little boy gently by
the shoulders and dipped him in the
great tub of water that stood all ready
for watering the plants. "There, my
sonl" said the father. NOW you are
cool enough to go and get the lettuce,
but remember next time that it will be
easier to go at once when you are told,
as then you will not have to change
your clothes" The little boy went
drip, drip, dripping out into the gar
den and brought the lettuce. Then he
went drip, drip, dripping into the
house and changed his clothes, but he
never said word, for he knew there
was nothing to say. That is the way
they do things where the little boy
lives. Would you like to live theref
Perhaps not. Yet he is a very happy
little boy, and he is learning the truth
of the old saying:
Come when you're called, do as you're bid,

Little Annie's Pets.

Annie lives in a cottage among the
hills in Ohio. The little Miami winds
at its side, crosses the road in front
and flows through the wood below. In
places it is so shallow that it hardly
covers its stony bed. The ground
around the cottage is rocky, uneven
and covered with oak and walnut trees
Annie and Trix found it fine place to
play under the trees, running up and
down the hills with hops kip-and-
Jump. Annie, because of her rudy
face, is known as Peony." Trix was
a water spaniel, handsome and sleek as
satin. 1t was interesting to watch them,
Peony trying to keep Trix at her side,
but his doggish nature would not allow
him to stay long. He would run ahead,
return, then scamper over the hills,
often bringing back rabbit or a robin,
much to Peony's displeasure. One
bright morning in May Peony's mother
gave her permission to invite few
little friends to come on the following
day to dinner. 1t was to be gala day
for Annie and Trix, and many were
the plans made by her what would be
done. While mamma was preparing
good things to eat Annie and TriX filled
the box full of wood; Trix carried
stick at time, Annie dropping it into
the box. Annie spread bits of carpet
and rug under her favorite oak on the
sand. Upon these she placed broken
china and muscle shells. All day they
worked hard helping mamma and in
getting "Nooky" ready for company.
Annie said, Mamma, don't you think
We will have fun digging in the sand
and wading in the water tomorrow? |
can hardly wait" 1t was sultry de-,
not a breeze. AS the sun was sinking
in the west black clouds could be seen
coming in opposite directions, threaten
ing heavy shower. Annie and Trix
ran into the house frightened, the wind
grew stronger, the air became cooler,
suddenly hail came against the win
dows with great force, breaking some
of the panes of glass; the rain came in
sheets, the wind forcing it under the
shingles and in at the doors. A stream
of water was soon running across the
floor. AT times the wind was so strong
it rocked the cottage. Annie was in
her mammals arms, TriX as close to
her as he could get; he would make the
most pitiful howlings and winnings.
A blast of wind took the cottage from
its foundation, dashing it into pieces.
The oak was uprooted, and close to the
top of it stood Annie and mamma en-.
tangled in bedclothing. There they
stood until neighbors came and took
them away. In the morning it looked
as if an earthquake had visited the
place instead of tornado. Annie
slept until late. When she awoke her
first question was, " Where is Trix?"
Alas poor Trix was killed. 1t was pa
thetic to see Annie's grief. Another
cottage has been built where the old one
stood. Annie is happy again; she has
a Scotch terrier named Bounce and a
pet pigeon. The pigeon follows her,
eats from her hand, and when,shut out
of the house will stand on the window
sill and look in. Peony is known by
everybody for miles around, for wher-
ever she goes her pets go too.-Atlanta

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS.
His Names.

Never a boy had so many names;
They called him Jimmy, and Jim, and James,
Jeems, and Jamie; and we'll he knew
Who 1t was that wanted him, too.
The boys in the street ran after him,
Shouting out loudly, JIM Hey, Ji.m-ml"
Until the echoes, little and big,
Seemed to be dancing Jim Crow Jig
And little Mabel, out in the hall
Jimmy! Jimmyr' would sweetly call,
Until he answered, and let her know
Where she might find him, she loved him so.
Grandpapa. who was dignifed,
And held his head with an air Of pride,
Didn't believe in abridging names,
And made the most he could of d" james"
But III papa ever wanted him,
Crisp and curt was the summons "Jim,"
That would make the boy on his errands run
Much faster than II he had said "My Son"
