Mrs Spooner, the accomplished wife
terval OF six years. says the Washing
ton Times. Mrs. Spooner's home was
always noted for the refined and cultl
waited people whom she drew around her
with the magic of her fine voice, The
young men OF the family were musical
also, and among mother and sons a
very interesting concert could be gotten
up on short notice. Mrs. Spooner used
to say that she never gave dinner parties
because all caterers thought wine an in
dispensable adjunct, and she would
not put the cup to her brothers lips.
Perhaps fashion may advance far enough
along the road to total abstinence 30
that little dinners can he given and
nothing more exciting offered than n
fragrant cup Of Mocha ut the close. In
Senator Spooner's residence next to
Justice Fields, on Capitol HID many
never seemed to miss the dinners since
tho musical substitutes were 80 good.

morning. The new officials agreed on
last night by the caucus were duly

Fertilizer Inspectors. The salary o
Chief Inspector was raised from 900 70
81 200, and the number Of Assistants was
increased by one.
one Of the reasons given FOR the cleo.
ton Of Mewborne and the defeat Of Dr.
D. Reid Parker was that Mewborns was
elected two years ago, but was knocked
out OF the place. ID. Reid Parker was
Pritchard man. That was another
reason. The Russell men are IN the saddle

WouId You Turn BacI<s

Dear. could the light come back again
That never was on land or sea,
but only I'm youths dreaming brain
AS All Hfe's pure ideals be-
Would you clasp willing hands with me
To walk once more, through sun and
dew,
BY brook and meadow. hill and tree,
In that old world we loved and knew?
Would YOU cross over months and years
Nv nilastones long, long left behind,
Back 10 those days OF autumn tears
And autumn smiles-the breathing wind,
requiem? Gould you hnd
The leafy pathway through the wood2
Would your white hands the branches
bind2
Your glad eyes seek where stood?
How fair II was, the sylvan scenel
Dim vistas through the forest space
Throbbing with light! translucent.
Shot Through with tints OF autumn days;
And the sweet vision Of your grace!
Soft eyes, soft hair, half childhood s
mlrth.
Half woman's passion in your face
To warm for Heayen-to pure for earth.
II by some spell that poet hath,
OR by some fairy's magic art,
we two might find that dear. lost path,
Would you turn back from busy mart
And Nfe's wild rush and whirl. apart,
To iove's first kisses. dreams and sighs?
| should turn back with you sweetheart,
Yes. from the gates OF Paradise.
