Gordon's Sudan Throne.

Gordon's Sudan throne is n folding
armchair he always sat in Mt Khartum
and carried with him on his camel jour
neys. 1t was a little straight backed chair,
having skeleton frame of round iron, a
carpet back and seat, gilt knobs for orna-
ment, and small pads OH the arms for
comfort.
The carpet had grown dim in the Afri-
can sun, which deprived it of all royal pre-
tensions, so that when Gordon returned
from his governorship of the Sudan and
suddenly asked, "Where is my throne?
Has it been brought IMP" they were all
surprised. His throne? Nobody had seen
throne. But Mt length the camp stool
was found where it had been slowed away.

There is n tradition among the Hudson
River railroad folk that the dwellers along
the tracks north and south of Poughkeep
sic keep themselves III crockery from the
cups, sauccrs, plates and tunblcrs fired
from the car windows. Travellers snatch
ing hasty luncheon Mt the restaurant in
the station levy OH such utensils to carry
food to companions unable to get out, and
the trains move off often before the cup or
plate is released from duty. AS deposit
has been paid largely in excess of the value
of the article, and as most passengers have
no desire to preserve this crockery merely
as bric-a- brac, it having no other civil
liked use outside the railroad restaurant
the car window usually offers prompt
and easy solution of its disposition.
And these literal wrecks of time, built
to stand more than mere pitching from n
flying express, rest by the roadside to be
garnered by the track cleaners of the neigh
borhCod.-Ncw York Times.

MY MOTHERS MEMORY.

There 10 one bright star In heaven.
Ever shining in my night,
God to mo one guido has given,
Like the sailors beacon light,
Bet on every shoal and danger,
Sending out its warning ray
10 the homebOund weary stranger,
Looking for tho landlockcd bay.
In my farthest, widest wanderings
have turned me to that love,
AS diver meath tho water
Turns to watch the light above.

Burton Farmers Club.

Al the meeting of the Burton Farmers
Club, held at the residence of Ezra Masor
on the 18th inst, +. M. Shepard was elected
President; l.. s. Bowles, Vice President
and Mrs. ID. Thorpe, Secretary.
X. Z. Shepard read paper on Rotation
OF Crops" G. r. Woodin opened the subject
for discussion with paper ON .The Adyis.
billty OF Farmers keeping more Stock, and
the Dependence of the Farm upon Stock to
maintain its Original Standard" He with
the other gentlemen who followed him,
regarded the raising of stock essential for
this especial purpose
Should Women be Compelled to Work
out of Doors?' was the theme for the ladies'.
Mrs. Monkey said that it was sometimes
necessary, and often pleasant, for women
who lived on farm to work out of doors,
but she would not like to be compelled to
do so. Women should know how to milk,
take care of horses and do other outdoor
work incident to farm life. Mrs. Bowles
thought outdoor work healthful and pleas
ant. She could milk but was afraid of the
cows.
Mrs. Ii. Mason said women should know
how to do all kinds of farm work. She
regarded ii no disgrace, and had done every
kind of work upon the farm, except blowing
but somehow she had never had been able
to manage the pillow.
Mrs. j. w. Rose had rather work out of
doors than in the house. She has always
cut the grain with the binder and helped in
many other ways upon the farm, tho she
had never succeeded In governing the pillow,
and like Mrs. Bowles she was afraid of the
cows.
F. M. Shepard, q. r. Woodin and Ezra
Mason were appointed delegates to meet at
Lansing, Feb. LIST and I'd, with delegates of
seventeen other farmers clubs for the pur-
pose of forming state association of farm
ers' clubs.
At this meeting, with one exception,
every family belonging to the club was
represented. Mrs. e. G. Perkins, of Rose
City, and number of honorary members
were present. Upon the table In one of the
parOrs was the tiny card of Miss Ruth, the
newly arrived granddaughter of the host
and hostess of the day, and the daughter of
Mr., and Mrs. Geo. ID. Mason, of Corunna.
The exercises of the day closed with
recitation from little Miss Shepard, by the
name of Margie. The next meeting will be
held at Rose Villa residence of L. w Rose
s. GUILFoRD.
