At the great dingy spot on the carpet,
Where he'd let grandma'S medicine fall.

Had left on the windows and wall

Though I'm busy from day light to bedtime,
The room never seems to be neat.
I never catch up with my sewing;
I've never a moment to rest

She looks through the mist-clouded pane
And sees, almost under her window.

There's a little white caSket inside 1t,
And then by swift tears it is hid.
As she thinks of the household whose dar-

Lies under the small collins lid.
She goes to the bed of her baby.
And kneels by the sleeper in tears,
And the prayer that goes up, mute aad

As she thinks of the hearse in the rain,
And the nother-arms, aching and empty,
Where the little dead baby has lain.

AN APPLE CAUSED 1T ALL.

Train of Mishaps Resulting from At
tempt to Gather Choice Pippin.
From Chenille Corners comes a tale
of woe with an apple on top of it. One
Sunday morning while walking about
his farm John Schneider espied tempt
ing morsel at the top of his apple tree,
and straightway went about procuring
it, to his own misfortune and grief.
1t so did happen that John was at
tired in his choicest raiment, and while
climbing the tree his neither garment
was destroyed. Undaunted, however,
he reached for the apple. Something
broke and he fell. Immediately be-
meath the tree the festive honey bee
made honey, and the farmer involun-
tarily found himself deposited upon a
beehive. Thereupon the bees set them
selves upon the unfortunate for period
and, then yet unrevenged for the de-
struction of their home, made war
against the family horse, grazing near
by. The horse rushed to the house
wife for protection and invaded her
kitchen.
Mrs. Schneider was cooking the mid
day meal. The stove was overturned,
and in preventing a confiagration she
narrowly escaped being burned
Schneider hurried to her rescue and was
kicked in the pit of the stomach by the
once docile horse, which then set itself
about demolishing the contents of the
whole house, but was frustrated in his
designs by the narrowness of the doors
Mrs. Schneider then turned upon the
horse. She rushed at him with a
broom. Instead of hitting the horse
the broom came in contact with
clock, which was thrown from its shelf
and practically demolished.
The horse ran out of its own accord.
and in the yard met the family cow
The cow received kick in the side, and,
terrified, ran at the pet dog and tossed
him into the air. She repeated the per-
Torrance until the dog was dead, when
she started down the road scattering all
who were out for Sunday walk.
And over all the apple innocently
hung, and still hangs Cleveland Re-
corder.

Finished with Him.

A young gentleman who lately left
his. fathers house, having exhausted his
credit, telegraphed the other day to his
parents:
"Your son Walter was killed this
morning by a falling chimney. What
shall we do with the remains?''
In reply a check was sent for 20,
with the request: BURY them"
The young gentleman Pocketed the
money and had an elaborate spree.
When in condition for writing he sent
his father the following note:
st have just learned that an infamous
scoundrel named Barker sent you a
fictitious account of my death and
swindled you out of e 20. He also bor-
rowed 6 10 from me and left the coun-
try. I write to inform you that 1 am
still alive, and long to see the parental
roof again. I am in somewhat reduced
circumstances, the accumulations of
the last five years having been lost
a disastrous stock speculation-and if
you would only spare me 6 20 I would
be ever thankful for your favor. Give
my love to ALL
A few days later the cunning youth
received the following dignifed letter
from his outraged parent:
my Dear Son: I have buried you
once, and that is the end of it, de-
cline to have any transactions with a
ghost. Yours in the flesh, Father
Scraps.

Hanged and Vanished.

An English custom of not SO long ago
was to hang smugglers on gibbets ar
ranged along the coasts, and then tar
the bodies that they might be preserved
a long while, as a warning to other cul-
prits As late as 1922 three men thus
vanished could have been seen hang
ing before Dover castle. Sometimes the
process was extended to robbers, as

inals John Painter, who fired THO
dockyard at Portsmouth, was first
hanged and then tarred in 1776. From
time to time he was given fresh coat
of varnish, and thus was made to last
nearly IA years. The weird custom did
not stop smuggling or other crime, but
no doubt it worked some influence al
a preventive.-Pittsbur Dispatch.

wOODCOCk'S WHISTLE.
That Musical Sound Is Made by the Bird
Wings.

That Musical Sound Is Made by the Birds
Wings.
At various times during the past few
years I have read with much interest
discussions in Forest and Stream as to
how the woodcock makes his whistle,
that delicious ripple of melody so fas-
cinating to the ear of the sportsman
who hunts the shy and handsome game
bird.
While shooting woodcock recently in
company with a friend this question
was discussed, my friend at once as
severating that the whistle was made
by the birds wings and not through the
bill by the aid of the throat, at the same
time saying to me: 'sWhen next you
shoot woodcock without iniuring its
wings, and without killing it, simply
making a body shot sufficiently hard
to bring the bird to the ground, call
your dog to heel, retrieve the bird your
self, hold him by the bill suspended in
the air at arms length, and in futter-
ing to escape from your hand the
whistle will be made by the birds
wings
While shooting a few days later with
another friend I was fortunate enough
to make a body shot on woodcock,
which came to the ground with the
wings unbrollen. The dog caught the
bird, which had attempted to fly after
it struck the ground. took it from the
dogs mouth, and, seeing its wings were
unbroken, I determined to make the
test then and there.
After telling my friend what I was
about to do held the bird by its bill
at arms length, and the result was that
it made the whistle three times, each
time by executing rotary movement
of the wings and body while f1uttering.
If any sportsman doubts this state
ment wish he would do as I have done
and all doubt will be dispelled from his
mind as to how this enchanting whistle
is produced.-Forest and Stream.

How Serpents Sleep.

One of the most curious facts with re-
gard to snakes is that their eyes are
never closed. Sleeping or waking,
alive or dead. they are always wide
eyed. If we take a dead snake and ex-
anime it closely we shall soon find the
reason-there are no eyelids. The eye
is protected only by a strong scale.
which forms a part of the epiderma.
envelope, and is cast off in piece with
that every time the reptile molts. The
eye-Plate is as clear and transparent as
glass, and allows the most perfect
vision, while at the same time (as any
close observer of the habits of the snake
can easily discovery it is so hard and
tough as perfectly to protect the deli
cate organ within from the thorns and
twigs among which, in flight from enc
mics or in pursuit of prey, the reptile so
often hurriedly glides.-Nature
