Fresh-Air Fun with q Shin.le.

A New York boy who was sent into
the country by the fresh-air fund last
summer was confronted, after q lusty
dinner, by q generous piece of apple
pie. As he showed no disposition to
partake of it, his temporary host said,
kindly: why do you not eat your pie?"
"Where is the cheese?" asked the
gamin, lnsolently. "We haven't any
cheese" was the reply. "Rats!" ex-
claimed the little tough; "apple-pie and
no cheese!" The farmer afterward
said: Thought he ought to be taught
little good manners while he was in
the country, so l took him and shingle
out behind the barn, and he got more
'fresh-air fun in ten minutes than he
had ever had before in his life, l guess.
Then he went back and ate that pie
without cheese, toop

to me! For the sake of your wives and
little ones you must and shall hear me. {"
The silence was intense,
Order, y yelled Atkins, recovering his
self-possession. Throw her out! Off
with the crazy fool"
"No, mol" roared the tickle crowd.
"Lct her speak"
Was this ill-clad young woman in
spired2
Words leaped from her lips in clear,
resonant tones that held the people
spellbound. Men forgot her haggard
look and mean attire, as their cars
drank in the music of her voice, as they
listened to the terrible tale of their
sufferings; and when in glowing tones
she pictured her happy days before the
strike, and drew the contrast of her
present blighted hearth, the women
sobbed with sympathy and even mems
eyes filed with tears.
Nor did they grow rcstivc when she
reproached them for sacrificing to their
pride the comfort of those they should
have loved dearer than their lives--the
folly, the madness of their actions,
which had led them to the very verge
of murder.
"And for what" she cried, "for what
have you stepped your souls in crime
and shadowed your homes in poverty?
For scntiment-for weak. sicllly
sense of offended dignity, which school
boy would blush to pout over"
Then, with infinite tenderness, she
drew a picture of her sisters sorrows,
and the tragic story of Joe IIendersons
love and ruin. And at last, in one
grand burst of passionate eloquence,
with quivering lips and tear-stained
face, she appealed to the women, the
real sufferers in this unequal fight,
to lend their sympathy and lead the
bread winners back to sense % duty.
She hnishcd-cast one look full OF
mute pathos at the pcoplc-and with
head bowed low retrcated from the
platform.
For moment there was silence; then
the pent-up fcenngS OF those thrilling
forty minutes burst forth in one tire
mendous roar of applause.
Cheer upon cheer greeted the brave
girl, as she stepped through the crowd
women clung round her and kissed heI
mid mingled tears and laughter; men
shook her by the hand and poured
lavish praises in her cars.
Well might those .sclf-elccted
tribuncs of the people, Schlossinger and
Atkins, look glum, for the backbone Of
the strike was broken and the next
day the busy hum of industry made
music in the erst deserted shipyards o.
Chicago.
And one man went back to his lodg
ing dismayed at the events-fceline
very much as if his temple of theorie!
were but house built of cards, which
a girl with her finger had toppled ovel
and left him more in doubt than eve
as to which was the best way to solv,
the intricate problem of the rights o
labor.

HOMECOMING.


Once, on q morning ramble by the shore,
The gray and granite knolled New England
coast,
] rested at fishers humble door.
And leaned against the lowly linteled post
To chat moment with my simple hearted
host
Hls cheerful housewife by tho fisher stood
In fond content, and all the place was gay
With fragrant blossoms from the summer
wood.

The mother said: "Our boys are coming
home to-dayl"
Next day paused before the door again,
And saw Joy smiling on that sunlit floor
The boys were there-two bronzed and bearded
men--
Right-whalers, who, q dozen years or more,
Had braved the icy ocean and the Arctic
shore.
All, mothers heart, your boys aro always
boysl
No heat Of sun, nor spume OF turbid sea,
Can change the features where you watched
the Joys
OF childhood play; their sturdy tones. to
thee.
Are echoes of the Groom theJ learned beside
your knee
AS pure and changcless as thy gentle faith.
Which taught our baby lips the words OF
truth,
For thee our childhood lives secure from
scathe,
Though change of days may steal away our
youth,
And restless fortune rain on US her spite or
ruth.
