STICKING TO THE FARM.

Don't draw the papers. lawyer: I've

us agree
That, though the times are pretty hard and
troubles round us swarm,
And life amt what It used to be, we will
not sell the farm.

4 thought it never looked so fresh and

tThe clover had a redder hue, the creek a
sweeter song,
And over in the pasture stood the herd, q

THE vanished scenes Of other days came
back my soul to thrill,
Again heard my axis song upon the wood

"A sturdy boy I welded 1t and whistled at
my toll

stirring lays.
Until above the icy wind that swept across
the ridge

steps little slow

We've talked the matter over, Hannah

Ezra Gray;
But you needn't draw the papers up, for

Let Ezra keep his money, ne can use It by

For when we two old people. in the little
churchyard lie,
Our bows who live where thousands in the

BICYCLE SIGNAL CODE.
Bell Taps to BE Used In Passing Other
Wheels.

Boil Taps to BE Used In Passing Other
Wheels.
There are few cyclists in the city
who have, almost without knowing 1t,
adopted code Of signals to be used
in passing others on wheels. They are
simple and can be memorized by any
one in five minutes. It is not always
the case that riders should pass to the
right. This rule, it is obvious, is true
when a person is simply passing along
q street without intention of stopping
or turning out, but when stops are to
be made or when corner is to be turned
the rule often fails. In the code OF sig
nails given below it must be understood
that the one giving the signal should
always be obeyed in allowing him to
pass as his signal indicates, otherwise
collisions may occur. The signal should
always be answered by the one to whom
it is directed giving the same signal.
The signals are as follows:
When approaching from opposite di-
rections:
One ring-I will pass to the right.
Two rings-I want to stop at the left
curb or turn to the left into street
or alley and will pass to the left.
When approaching rider from the
rear:
One ring-I will pass to the right.
Two rings-I will pass to the left.
Three rings (when approaching two
people from the rear)-I will pass be-
tween you.
1t must also be understood that one
ring of the bell means one pressing
of the thumb piece or one turn Of
the thumb wheel as the case may be,
or one stroke of the hammer if it is a
bell that allows distinct and separate
strokes to be made {wItseA.GvssaSw HsuuN

THE POISON OF LOVE.
By GwENDoLEN OvERTON.

The commanding officer was seated
in the adjutant's Office, in troubled par
icy with the officer of the day.
It was high noon, midsummer, and
Arizona; and though the adobe was as
rool as only an adobe can be in fiery
weather, the major was hopping his
brow in entire discomfort.
"That's It'll that's it," he calculated.
fThink of sending a man off on the very
eve of his wedding; the very day before
he is to be married. It's beastly un-
pleasant thing to have to do. But Tn
too old for a trip like that; Gowan's on
the sick list, Henderson's away, Thomp-
Fon's wife may die any minute, Trow
bridge won't be back from Grant until
early tomorrow morning, and you're
half dead (precious hospital we have!)
and officer of the day besides. Then,
moreover, Howland's about the only
one who can handle those things right
and not make mess of it. He's got to
go, that's ALL"

saber, and I'll CO." suggested Briggs.
"You look like it, now don't you?
Pretty healthy specimen you'd be to
send on a ride like that"
"It wouldn't hurt me and it might do
me good. 1 ask it as a favor, major"
swell, won't Howland's going"
He rang the bell for his orderly and sent
that unduly erect individual to find
Lieut.. Rowland, give him the command
ing officers compliments, and say he
would like TO see him in the adjutant's
office Immediately.
When the orderly had gone on his way
saluting, Briggs tilted back in his chair,
with its burnt ornament of Q. M. D.,
and fingered his saber knot. and
watched the flies circling with faint
buzz in the center of the room. The
Sommandant turned his attention to a
Iegal-cap document much underscored
pnd lined in red ink, and glanced I'M
lastly at the door. The official paper
did not claim his attention long. "He
pan start now and be back by noon to-
morrow"
''Yes," said Briggs, che can"
81 suppose he'll see the reason for it,"
81 suppose SO" assented Briggs.
"He's a sensible fellow"
"Yes, he's sensible" Briggs agreed.
The major felt that his junior officer
was not exactly encouraging. what

be snapped.
"Let me CO."
"You'rc as pig-headed as donkeyi"
Nundered the major. "You shan't go,
tell you.e
"All right, but I'd rather not be
around when you send Rowland, that's
I'll. It's a rude interruption Of loves
Foung dream. You've my sympathy,
As you've got the talking to do. Here

clanked and he knocked down an ARMY

It up Rowland came in. He was the
most promising officer in the regiment.

He had a square jaw and straight
mouth, and the jaw looked squarer and
the mouth straighter just now. He fore

caught sight of Briggs and the major
Briggs was small and thin, the major
was short and fat, and both were un
usually impressed with Howland's stat
nre.
