The true answer TO the conundrum
"When is COW not cow" has been
discovered and is as follows, "When it is
a croker" 1t seems that this term is ap-
piled in the Central meat market to the
carcass of an animal that has been killed
to save its life" In other words, a croker
is beast which has been afflicted with
some of the many diseases to which cattle
are liable and whose flesh for that reason
fetches n much smaller pIice than does
good, wholesome beef.
Mr.. Green, farmer Of Hanworth, in
Norfolk, thought that the health Of the
London public would be materially i'm
proved by partaking of one of his "crok
ers, and he sent it to an accommodating
Smithfeld salesman. On his premises it
was seized as being totally unfit for hui
man food, and the too enterprising farmer
was fined, as he richly deserved to be, in
the sum of $50 and IS costs. II there
were no statesmen willing to accept such
garbage, meat eaters would be in far less
danger than they are of consuming "cut
from croker" under the belief that it
was genuine roast beef.-London Tele-

My little love! my speechless child
Can forget my woman's heart and be
Forever mute to grief, forever mildp
Is 1t not hard to bear the falling rod
When such an aiment for these baby lips
Dvinely suits the policy of Godf
The lambs that play too long at hide and
seek
Have tongues that ask for mothers; these, l
know,
Learn lovely meanings when the children
speak.
The mother comes from far across the field
And calls assurance to her anxious child,
As had answered had my lamb appealed!
So with unfeathered blackcaps; so with things
Whose tones are pitched too low for mortal
ears.
They plead, and nature sends them breast
and wings.
But shall never hear that storied speech,
That lovely language whose expression is
Defiance of all rules that man may teach;
Nor hear against my heart a sons content
When for his mouth the willing milk is kind,
And for his lips my fountain is well spent.

And spy upon his beauty, praying God

Upon the pouting slumber of his mouth,

Splitting salt is usually held to be very
unlucky omen. Something evil, it is be
lieved, will happen to the family or the
person splitting it. According to n general
supposition. this sign dates back to the
time of the last supper, when one of the
disciples-perhaps Judas-overturned the
saltcellar. An old English paper contains
the following lines:
Wen tell you the reason
Why splitting of salt
Is esteemed such fault
Because it does everything season.
The antiques did opine
Twas of friendship sign,
To serve it TO guests in decorum,
And thought love decayed
When the negligent maid
Let the saltcelar tumble before them.
It is generally believed that the evil con-
sequences of an accident of this sort may
be averted by eating pinch of what was
spilled or throwing it in the fire or over
the left shoulder Many persons will not
be helped to salt because they keep in
mind the old saw, ""Help to salt, help to
SORROW" A gentleman renting house in
Wales and purchasing part of the furni
ture of the former occupant was advised
TO buy the saltbox, which he did, no one
bidding against him. He was afterward
told that i'll luck would have followed him
If he had not bought it.-Washington Post

Better 1t were for the world, say,
Better indeed for "a mans own good,
That he should sit still where he was born,
BE it land of sand or of oil and corn,
White sea border or great black wood,
Bleak white winter or bland sweet May,
Than to wander the world, as have done,
For the one dear woman that is under the
sun.
Better abide, though the skies be dun,
And the rivers espoused of the ice and snow;
Better abide, though the thistles grow,
And the city of smoke be obscured of the sum-
Than to seek red peoples and the sweet
dreamland-
Than to wander the world, as today,
Breaking the heart into bits like clay,
And leaving it scattered upon every hand.

Triumph.

triumph.
Not he who rides through conquered city's
gate,
AT the head of bazoned hosts and to the
sound
OF victor's trumpets, in full pomp and state
OF war, the utmost pitch has dreamed or
found
To which the thrill of triumph can be wound;
Nor he who by a nations vast acclaim
Is sudden sought and singled out alone,
And while the people madly shout his name,
Without a conscious purpose of his own,
Is swung and lifted to the nations throne.
But he who has all single handed stood
With foes Invisible on every side,
And, unsupported of the multitude,
The force of fate itself has dared, defied
And conquered silently.
And that soul knows
In what white heat the blood of triumph flows.

This voice like echoes from melodious strings.

MURDERED HIS WIFE,
Romano, 1t Is Said, Wanted to Get
Rid Of Her.
Shot Her After a Quarrel In a Mott
Street Tenement.
He Then Walked CooIly Away After
Greeting a Policeman.

Annie Romano, pretty, Italian
woman. twenty years old, was shot BY
her husband, Pietro. early this morn
ing, and died a lew hours later in st.
Vincenrs Hospital.
Romano escaped. but the police are
confident they will soon have him in
custody.
The murder took place right under the
walls Of Police Headquarters, In the
big tenement-house, 2ss Mott street
which Is next door to Headquarters.
After he had shot his wife Pietro left
the house, and when he me- police
man, half a block away, he calmly bid
him good morning and walked away.
At the same moment half a hundred
people or more, who had heard the shot,
were hastily leaving their beds to see
who had been hurt.
Michael Mauro. who Is an Intimate
friend of Pietro. says the man shot his
wife because he was infatuated with
woman. with whom he desired to re-
turn TO Italy, and his own wife was In
the way.
Pietro is a street-sweeper. He and his
wife lived in three small rooms on the
third floor Of the crowded Mott street
tenement. He is twenty-nlne years old
and married this wife eight years ago,
when she was only twelve years old.
TIE couple went to live in a tenement
house in Mulberry street. A year ago
they moved into the Mott street house.
Their life was happy one until few
months ago. Then the people in the
house saw that the two began to dis.
agree They couldn't understand 1t al
all but Michael Mauro says that II
was caused by the other woman.

and his wife, who was of a nervous dis

torney Macfarlane for action. The case
was considered for three weeks. and
got so far that a complaint for con-
spiracy under section $40 OF the Revised
United States Statutes was drawn up.
A further Investigation showed, so said
Mr.. Swift to-day. that the law did not
provide for such an infringement OF
the civil-service laws. and consequently
no action could be taken.
Acting Postmaster Swift said further
that there was no recourse in law
against the Mandels. though the case
was completely proven against them.
All he could do was to bring the matter
before the Civil-Service Examiners and
urge them to have their laws so
changed as to stop such frauds.
