CAN PROVE AN ALIBI.
August Bnsss on Trial for Stealing
Money and Eewelry.

August Busse, IN innocent looking
young German, is being tried in the Cen
eral Sessions Court today on an indict-
ment for stealing $415 in money, a pair
of diamond earrings and a Wedding ring,
the property of Charles Reinking and his
wife of No. 2f7 River street, Hoboken.
Reinking keeps a saloon and lives up
stairs. Busse was employed as bartender.
The none and jewelry were kept in
an iron box in Reinking's bedroom. Busse
gave UP his job in the middle of January
to accent a position as cashier in the
Aulic Hotel, at Broadway and Thirty-ffth
street, New York, kept by George Bull
Wrinkle. On February 4 the iron box and
it's contents were missing and suspicion
fell on Busse because he had had a key
of the room. The defence will be an alibi,
and Mr.. Bullwinkle is in court to testify
that the defendant was on duty in the
hotel at the time of the robbery.

Childish Wisdom.

Twas the hour for prayer and the farmer stood
With thankful heart and a lowly mind,
And prayed 10 the Author OF every good
That the Father of all would be very kind,
And bless his creatures with raimant and food;
That the blessings each day might be renewed;
That every man might find relief,
And plenty for hunger, JOY for grief,
Be measured by the Merciful One
To all who suffered beneath the sum-
The prayer concluded the godly man
Went forth in peace to inspect his farm,
And by his side delighted ran,
Glowing with every healthful charm,
His little son, a sprightly boy,
Whose home was love and whose life was JOY;
And the father said: ''The harvest yields
A plentiful CROP my son, this year;
Nv barns are too small for my grain, fear
And they wandered on through row upon row
OF plumy sheaves and at length the child,
With earnest look and rosy glow
On his shining cheek, looked up and smiled,
And said: 'My father do you not pray
For the poor and needy day by day
That God the Good would the hungry feedT'
az do, my son. ''Well, think, as you
plead
His eyes waxed bright, for his whole soul shonc

The whistIinr Roy.

Is there sound in the world so sweet, on dark
and dreary morn,
When the gloom without meets the gloom within,
till we wish we'd not been born,
As the sound of little barefoot boy gaily whist
ling in the rain,
While he drives the COWS to pastures green, down
the path in the muddy lane?
The Joy of boy is funny thing not dampened
by Autumn rain;
His clothes and his hands and his sturdy feet
are not spoiled by CRIME stain;
The world 10 him is a wonderful place that he
means some day to explore;
II there's time to play and plenty to eat, who
cares if the heavens pour?
Oh, that CHEEKY trill of a heart as fresh as the
drops that clear the airi
Brings smile TO lips and clears the soul
=, of the gloom that brooded there;
And we bless the boy as he spats along through
rivers of rain and mud;
For the hope and cheer in that whistled note
would rainbow the sky in food.

those told to him. The most significant
thing in the book is perhaps series OF
questions and answers given near the
end of the record Three or four children
We're selected, Harold" the subject OF
the book. being one, and asked to define
certain words. The result shows quite
clearly that Harold had been accustomed
TO think, to reason, and to express his
thoughts in words, while the other chill.
dren had received no training which led
them to do this. The questions were
asked in such way that none of the
children understood what was being
done The answers ran somewhat as fol
lows:
E-(a boy a little older than Harold.
He had a kind stepmother:
Hat-Some are cloth.
Mamma-A person.
Woif-SCmething to eat YOU up.
Village-somehing to live in.
Earthworn-Somtt thing 10 dig the earth
Snail-Little animal.
B.-(same age as Harold; a very nerv-
Gus child:
Hat-To your head.
Mamma-To whip the naughty Toys.
Mof-To bite people
Nillage-So people can live in it.
Earthwom-To crawl
Snail don't know-oh yes, ! know now-oh
no, don't; oh, don't forget quick! Oh | got
il again-To crawl up things
Wa year younger than Harold. His
mother was dead):
Hat-to put on.
Mammal don't know
Wolff don't know what that is. I've heard of
story ones, but I've forgot.
Vilage-To look at.
Earthworm-To look at.
Snail-To look at.
Harold's list:
Hat-To put on your head.
Mamma-Somelody TO take care OF you.
Wolf-Someihing tries 10 eat you, gets after
you kills goats; kills people.
Niage-A little place TO live in, little kind
of street up in the mountains.
Earthworm-To dig up the earth; to make holes
to make flowers grow. Keeps the earth soft Tor
them by going through it.
There were many other words in the
lists but these will serve as samples
The children Were between six and sev-
en- years old. 1t is quite obvious that the
ideas which the child gains unconscious
ly at this age he will not have TO ac-
quire afterward. and thus some valuable
time will be saved. Children often un-
derstand a thing perfectly when they
have not the words TO express their ideas,
and ii is thus important that they should
be accustomed TO use words correctly as
fast as possible. In some of these an
sw..rs ii is evident that the child knew
what 1t wanted TO say, but not how to
say IT, II would be possible for the av-
erage mother, with little care, to make
8 book of childish sayings almost as in
teresting as this one, and by using the
same training II might prove quite as
interesting. The boy whose sayings and
doings are chronicled is not extraordina-
rily brilliant; he is simply a bright
child allowed IN deVelon in his own WAY
and encouraged to do whatever harmless
thing he wished TO do. Thus all his pow
ers of mind and body were brought into
play. and no time was wasted in sup
pressing this, that or the other harmless
energy. (New York: Harper & Bros)

Finite md Infinite.

Alas poor earthlings, in what fervent mood
Do you press onward over ways too steep
For your weak feet TO climb, what strange and
deep
Desires you have for all things that all good
And wise and truei what hunger after food
Not meet for babes and sucklingsi how you
creep
On all fours, iniant-wise, with thought to leap
Unto the stars and swell the angelhOod!
Life comes to YOU. an unlimited guest,
To soiourn for a time, and by and by
To leave you in its silent, secret quest
For its mysterious home. And so, at best.
You can do naught but live, and love, and die,
And then find God, and learn of Him
the rest.

Remembrance.

One night you touched the harp beside the stair,
The harp that, long unfngered and unstrung,
Had silent dreamed OF hours when it was young.
And those who loved it bIithe and frail and fair.
Beneath your careless hand 2 faint, sweet air
Leaped back TO life, and told with tender
tongue
OF loves forgot and soft the strings among,
The dying music fingered like prayer.
How long the harp had waited for your hand
So long my heart lay silent till you came:
How strangely sweet the strain you made to
rise
From eachi ind vet YOU cannot understand
That now can neither ever be the same
An love- ah. love how slow the music diesi

When the Leaves Begin to Turn.

She's tired of playing golf she says,
She's tired Of tennis and lacrosse,
She's tired Of dreams in woodland ways,
OF purling sterams and banks Of moss;
She's tired Of hamnocks, moonlight nights,
The sound and SAVIOR of the sea,
OF all the summers old delights
And most OF all. she's tired OF me.
She longs to see the town again,
The crowds and lights Of dear Broadway,
To talk and walk with other men,
To have new gowns, 10 view the play;
And lam tired of her, and so
We now Will turn each other down;
When country love grows cold, you know,
One needs hot old time in town.

dreary waste, beFef, Of cheer and light,
Reaching afar into the bourneless night
As deepening darkness Ger it lay.
But ah how changed beneath the morning ray,
What beauteous vision burst upon my sighti
The wild rose smiled, the pools were mirrors
bright.
And lifting linnets gladdened all the way.
Dear love- see there the reflex Of my heart
A solitude uncheered until thine eyes.
Like glorious morn, did shine away its gloom,
And quicken TO glad life its every part,
Waking dead hopes, that in sweet surprise
Now fill with melody its fragrant b!oom

A New Recipe hook.

One of the little books of the La
dies Home journal Household Library"
is Good Cooking by Mrs. Rorer, and
it should appeal to all housewives as
an interesting and valuable little work.
There is something in it for the young
housewife whose. domestic education in
cludes the making of sponge cake and
syllabub, and not much else, and for the
housekeeper Of many years experience.
There are some new ways Of serving
common dishes, and some hints about
the simplest items of household economy,
and some highly fascinating new recipes,
which suggest dinners in high places,
cooked by a chef Of princely salary.
