Breathing it low where the leaves of the forest

Whispering ever, "Fear not. though thy beauty

Weary earth listen, and yield to my lullaby

Sweet shall thy dreams be; and surely, till
spring shall awake thee
The hours shall be feeti"
Hark to the autumn wind murmuringl tender

The Children's Poet.

As we all know. Mr.. Field was ever gen.
tie and tender to the little ones. If they
were in any way weak or afflicted they ap-
pealed all the more strongly to the love Of
which his heart was so full. His nature
vas as simple as a child's, and he loved
the children's toys as much as they did.
His sympathetic enjoyment OF their pleas
ure in any new toy was revelation to the
everyday man or woman. One day I
went with him into a toystore to get some
little things for the babies, as he rarely
went home empty-handed. After he had
purchased several things he ordered a
dozen medium-sized bisque dolls. l won
dered what he was going to do with so
many, and put the question to him. He
answered: "Oh, like to have them, and
when little girls come to see me can give
them dolly to take home." Some time
after his death the family found thebox
that had contained the dolls. There was
only one left. and that one in some way
had been broken.
1t was only few weeks before his life
ended that he bought these dolls-so he
must have had many visits from his little

In the terrible story of the sinking OF
the great British warship Victoria the
only gleam of brightness is the heroism
displayed by members of the doomed ves-
sells crew.
1t is aiw avs inspiring to read how brave
men face death. The newspaper dis
patches tell US that the Victoria s
sailors maintained rigid discipline up to
the moment when their ship sank into the
deep Mediterranean. Even afte they had
been ordered to save. themselves they per.
sisted in their attempt to fix the collision
mat over the huge breach in the vessels
S lde. Their commander set them noble
example. When it became evident that
nothing could be done to save his ship he
stood motionless and with folded arms at
his post on the bridge. A seaman ran up
with a lifebelt and offered it to him, but
the officer would not permit the sailor to
sacrifice his life, and told him TO seek his
own safety.
Admiral Tryon's heroism recalls that OF
Captain Craven of the Tecumseh in our
own civil war. The Tecumseh was one of
the monitors that took part in Farragut's
famous fight in Mobile Bay. AS she en-
tered the harbor where the enemy's feet
was waiting to receive the attack there
was an explosion under her flank. She
had struck submarine mine. The cap
tain was with the pilot when he felt the
shock. He knew what it meant. There
was little chance of escape from monitor
floating almost submerged. He ran to the
narrow door of the pilot house; so did the
pilot. There was not room for two to pass
through.
Captain Craven drew back. "After you
pilot" he said. It meant only the differ
ence OF moment, but it was the moment
between life and death. The pilot passed
through and was saved. The captain went
down with his ship.

Bsfl@t Polec.

When man wants his whiskers
trimmed or a boy needs a haircut he
looks around for place that has q red
and-white pole in front of it. and as soon
as he sees such pole he knows he has
found barber-shop. But why does bar
Der always have this kind of a sign in
front of his shop2
In times gone by, before the world knew
as much about medicine as it does now,
every body thought it was the proper thing
to get rid of some of his blood now and
then, especially in spring time. This
was called bIood-letting, and was done
by the BARRIERS, who also pulled teeth, and
did several other things in those days be-
des cutting hair. The operation OF
blood-lettiDg required the use of small
pole or stick. which the patient held in
his hand, and two bandages-one TO wrap
around the arm before the cut was made,
and the other to bind the wound after the
bleeding was over. Two bandages, ready
for use, were kept wrapped around a red
pole and displayed in the door or window
as sign 10 the public. After time, in
stead OF going to the trouble of winding
strips of cloth about the pole, white stripes
were painted on the pole to represent the
bandages. and from that day until this
BARRIERS have always used that kind of a
sign. There are very few BARRIERS to-day
who know why they use red and white
pole, and some of them try to give it a
patriotic meaning by painting their signs
red, white and blue. This is all very
we'll, for man has right to do what he
likes with his sign, but it takes away
what little sense still remains in using
blood-letting sign for barber-shop.-St.
