Various Items.


Don't Hang Up the Jacket by a Loop.
She is an unwiso woman who hangs up
her jaokot by q loop at the back of the
neck. 1t makes the coat sag whore tho
strain comes and gives it n dragged and
droopy appearance. If loops are used ut all,
they should be at the armholes and so put
on as to stand upright and are not
stretched across an inch or so of space.
This obviates the pulling at the cloth. But
the best way to keep a coat fresh and in
good shape is to keep 1t, when not in ao-
tive service, on a wooden hanger.

SOLDIERS BUDGET.
Three Green Graves.


Forward" was the word when day
Dawned upon the armed array.
" Fallen" was the word when night
Closed upon the field of fight.
"Hurt, my boy9" 90, mol not muchi
Only got a little touchi"
Wonder what the folks would say
If they knew the news to-dayp"
" Forward" was the word that flashed
Homeward, when the cannon crashed.
" Missingl" was the word sent home,
When the shades of night had come.
" Talent" "Yes, he fell, they say,
In the fercest of the frayi"
"Died last nightl" the message said,
Thus the morrew's papers read.
One young heart that heard the word,
Fluttered like a wounded birdl
One was brokenl Bowed her headl
" Motheri Motherl Mothers deadl"
Two green graves wen deck to-day,
Sons and mothers side by side;
None will dare to tell us "Nayi"
Both for Right and Freedom died.
While we honor him who fell
In the ~fercest of the fray,
We will honor her az well
Lying by his side to-day.
Let the flowers forever fair
Bloom above our fallen braves,
While the angels guard them there,
Glory fingers DER their graves.
Long ago one sweet young soul
Entered her Gethsemane,
Death to her the greatest goal,
As 1t must to many bel
But life lingers-Oi so longl
And the years so weary growl
Tears have choked her hearts sweet song.
Dimmed those eyes that used to glowl
OF the bleeding, brok hearts,
Living long their lingering death,
Pierced by countless cruel darts,
Smothered sobs beneath each breath.
Comrades! Call the roll again.
write their names on glory's pagel
Those who bore the grief and pain,
Fiercer far than battles ragel
When they lie there by his side,
Bearer to him than his life,
Mother, sister, sweetheart, bride,
Or his dear, devoted wife,
And you deck his grave again,
Write her name-but not beneath!
By her agony and pain,
Crown her grave with fairest wreath.
Angels called the roll again,
Wrote her name above the stars
For her patient faith in pain,
Deeper far than battle scars.
Three green graves we deck to-day,
This is the third, where lies his BRIDE
None will dare to tell us " Nayl"
For these three for freedom died.

The Proper WAY.

A woman who declines an offered seat
In the street car usually makes herself a
little bit conspicuous by so doing. OF
course if the gentleman who rises is man
ifestly very much older hal herself or
from any cause seems less able to stand,
she may properly refuse to take tho seat.
Otherwise her refusal of the courtesy
seems a triflo ungraoious. Besides a wom-
an does not appear to advantage when
grasping n strap and swaying back and
forth with every motion Of the car.
