OLD LOVE LETTERS.


From the perfumed note that I found to-day
Traced years ago by her fair white hand,
Rose the last sweet breath OF new-mown hay,
The odor she loved; and again stand
On that ivied porch. where said adieu
To u face that was framed In golden hair,
And its radiant glory moment threw
r Into darkness the moolight shining there
And thrill again. while the dear gray eyes
~ Flash bright as q trout. In a stream at play,
When the sunbeams arrows OF light, surprise
Him. deep In his haunt on summers day.
Once more is her voice praised In song
The Fisher Maid" with its sad refrain;
stand on the shore. and ever long
For the mermaid. that Knocked me In my
pain.
The song is hushed: on the desolate shore
The waves OF sorrow break at my feet.
But the song OF the mermaid evermore
In my heart shall echo, low and sweet;
sit in the shade, while the freight CLEANS
On the singers face. as she turns from me-
All never a mermaid seen in dreams
Was half us fair, or as sweet. as she
From the filmy lace that yelled the shrine
or her pulsing bosom, there loated sweet
The oaor OF new mown hay twas mine
To breathe OF its Joy for moment fleet,
And softly kiss the letter that brings
A remembrance sweet, OF that SUNNI er
night;
And my heart in sorrowful silence clings
To a moss-grown grave, and headstone
white.

A Family Of Three Bring Sorrow TO thu
Heart OF = soapmakcr.
Samuels, the Massachusetts, ornithol-
ogist, in ono of his books tells story
of blue jay and n bit of soap. 1t was
the last piece of soap that collecting
party in the Adirondack wilds pos
scsscd, and when the theft was COM
mitted by the bird the action was noted
carefully for more than scientific rea-
sons. Bird students know that the jay
will take almost anything in sight and
eat nine-tenths of what he takes, but
they thought he drew the line at soap.
1t has been left to n family of High
land Park Qll.) jays to bear out Sam
uels' story and to break the soap-eating
record.
On the west side of the track in that
Chicago suburb lives n German who
thought that he would try the expert
ment of making soap for sale. He col
lected the proper ingredients, put them
together, stirred them to the constitu-
ency of paste, and then just at evening
he patted cake and put it on a board
In his yard to see II 1t would harden
over night. He slept little late and
when he finally went to look at his soap
cake, behold! it had all vanished save
thin edge. That was beautifully
hard, though, and not stopping to con-
lecture what had become of the rest OF
the cake he stirred up the rest of his
mixture and patted cakes until he had
twenty-four, each weighing one-quar-
ter of pound. The sun had passed

the German went to the edge OF the
road, placed his board SO that it's ends

his soap cakes that they might harden.
A cement sidewalk was in process OF
construction across the road and a
boat" full of Portland cement mixed
to mush with water and torpedo"
sand, was adjacent and parallel to tho

family of seven blue jays, five full
fedged young and the two parents,
descended on the board and attacked
the soap. The contractor saw them and
watched in amazcment. They devoured
the mixture of lye and grease as dom

walk man gasped out: Hans, they arc

The German turned, saw the last bit
of one cake disappear, and then grabbed
big, round, smooth stone. such as the
lake casts up, and threw it, as man
puts shot, straight at the robbers.
The birds rose, calling thief, theft"
vociferously, for the bluejay is given to
calling himself names. The stone
landed on the edge of the board and
turned the entire soap product into the

How He Won the Good Opinion OF Grand

Pete was very black tramp cat, and
nobody but Ethelwyn loved him, be-
cause he mewed continually, and in
such mournful, half-starved fashion,
that he did no credit whatever to his
good care after he came to grandma's
house.
Il don't like animals around that look
and net as If they were half-starvcd,"
said grandma, who was not given to
starving anyone or anything, as Pete
well knew. But he kept on yowling SO
dolefully that Ethelwyn, who was Wis
iting grandma, when she saw the old
lady begin to fidget and look under the
table, would jump down and take Pete
out to the summer kitchen and shut
him in. Although she kept his saucer
full of milk there to comfort him, they
would still hear him family crying.

The expression in the prayer book,
'kindly fruits of the earth" has for
most persons no definite meaning on
account of the difference in significance
now attached to the word kindly from

first written. The word kindly in that
connection meant as nearly as possible

''kindly fruits of the earth" meant "the
