President Hayes and the Farmer.

President Hayes had for one of his
Ohio neighbors a testy old fellow who
kept small truck farm. During Mr.
Hayes four years in the White House,
on one Of mis- visits home, he passed this
old man s farm and found him planting
potatoes. The president, being some
what Of a farmer himself, noticed some
eccentricity in his neighbours style Of
planting, and after little chat called
attention to it. The old man defended
his method, and finally Mr.. Hayes said
as he started along, "Well, don t think
you will get the best kind Of crop if
you plant in that manner. " The farmer
rested his elbows on the fence. "They
amt neither one Of us above havin fault
found with u.s. he said, "but If you
Jest go on presidentin the United States

forests, which climb hills, fringe rivers
and cover islands; in wild mountain
scenes, wonderful waterfalls, silent sail
less lakes-an appropriate setting for

dizzy mountain paths, smiling plains

About Kissing Mother.

A father, talking to his careless
daughter, said: 81 want to speak to
you of your mother. 1t may be that
you noticed a careworn look upon her
face. OF course it has not been brought
there by any act of yours; still it is
your duty to chase it away. 1 want
you to get up tomorrow morning and
get breakfast. When your mother
comes and begins to express her sur
prise, go right up to her and kiss her
on her mouth. You can't imagine
how it will brighten her dear face.
Besides, you owe her kiss or two.
Away back, when you were a little
girl, she kissed you when no one else
was tempted by your fever-tainted
breath and swollen face. You were
not as attractive then as you are now.
Through years of childish sunshine and
shadows she was always ready to cure,
by the magic of mothers kiss, the
little, dirty, chubby hands whenever
they were injured in those first skir-
mishes with the rough old world"

81 Declare" said Miss Malvina,
"he's real comfort about the place"
"And he has travelled 30 muchp'
cried Desire. "And he talks so beau
tifullyl I only hope he'll be contented
here"
There was no sort of doubt about
that. Rolf Welland Carey was very
well contented. He had always hun
gered and thirsted for the details of a
home life. Here it was to perfection.
But Mr.. and Mrs. Philo were not 80
we'll suited. All their spasmodic eff
forts toward friendliness were checked
with Arctic frigidity.
SITS too badl" said Mrs. Philo, al
most crying. "He'll be certain sure
to go and make fool of himself by
marrying Desire, and we shall never
get cent of his money. Desire ought
to be ashamed to think of such thing
at her agel"
But Desire was only forty, and there
are late roses as we'll as early ones.
AT least, 80 Mr.. Welland thought. At
all events, he married Desire, and the
Philo Wellands were disconsolate.
" It's all our bad luckl" said they.
For they had forgotten all about the
passage in the Bible that speaks of
entertaining angels unaware" -Helen
Forrest Graves, in Saturday Night.

Squaring the Circle.

One Of the problems that are as old as
the science of mathematics Is that of
"squaring the circle" By squaring the
circle is meant the problem of finding
the sides of square exactly equal in
area to circle Of given diameter. To
do this, either by elementary geometry
or by expressing it automatically in
Commensurate numbers, has been found
to be an impossibility. In other words,
the ratio between the diameter and the
circumference Of circle cannot be ex-
actly found, even though in the division
the decimal be carried out to 10000
figures. The above being the exact facts
in the case, we will say that the problem
Of "squaring the circle" is one that has
long been given up by the mathema-
ticians as insoluble. st. Louis Repub-

IN GENERAL.
The Sugar.Plum Tree.

Have you ever heard of the sugar plum tree?
IT'S marvel of great renowni
1t blooms on the shore of the Lollipop sea,
In the garden of Shuteye town.
The fruit that II bears is so wondrously sweet
CAS- those who have tasted it say
That good little children have only to eat
OF the fruit to be happy next day.
There are narshmallows gumdrops and peppermint
canes,
with strippings of scarlet and:gold,
And you carry away Of the treasure that rains
As much as your apron can hold
SO come, little child, cuddle closer to me
In your dainty white nightcap and gown,
And I'll rock you away to that sugar-plum tree
In the garden of Shuteye town.
When you've got to the tree, you would have hard
To capture the fruit which sing;
The tree is so tall that no person could climb
To the boughs where the sugar plums swngl
But up in that tree sits a chocolate cat
And gingerbread dog prowls below,
And this is the way you contrive to get at
Those sugar plums tempting you so.
You say but the word to that gingerbread dog
And he barks with such terrible zest
That the chocolate cat is at once all agog,
AS her swelling proportions attest;
And the chocolate cat goes cavorting around
From this leafy limb unto that
And the sugar plums tumble, of course, to the
ground,
HurTah for that chocolate catl
