Planted by Milton In Christ's College Gar
dens, Cambridge.
In the gardens Of Christ's college,
Cambridge, stands venerable mulberry
tree, which. tradition says, was planted
by Milton during the time when he was
student at the university. This would
be between the years 1924 and 1882,

The tree so intimately associated

possible from the ravages of time many

stout wooden props, while the trunk has

and many pieces are thus preserved as
mementos of the poet. 1t was during
his residence at Cambridge that he COM
posed his ode, "On the Morning of
Christ's Nativity" ''Lycidas, too, is
intimately connected with Milton s life
at the university, since it was written
in memory of Edward King, his college
friend and contemporary, with whom
he doubtless shared the same rooms

KINDLY JUDGE ANOTHER.

All. pause and think, before you seek
TO harshly judge another.
You cannot probe the inner life,
You cannot note the souls dark strife,
Temptations. nor its dangers rife,
Then do not judge another.
All, mo. and who should seek to be
The one to judge another!
perchance woman's fairest fame,
May be her pure, unsullied name.
Yet SANDER Grapes her oft in shame,
Thus cruelty we judge her.
1t costs so little, e'er TO speak
In kindness of another.
Had you the same temptation seen,
Had life withheld its golden sheen,
Perhaps less stainless you had been.
So DO not judge another.
All. life is sad enough. 'twould seem,
So kindly judge another.
God help us when His face we'll see.
And Death reveals its mystery
IL He shall judge as cruelty
AS Oft we judge another.

The Arab Widow.

When an Arab widow is tired Of wild
owhood and desires to marry again,
she goes the night before the wedding
to her husbands toni and prays him
not to be offended. To make quite sure
of his forgiveness she brings with her
two large goat7skins filled with water,
and with these she waters the grave
that the refreshing liquid may soak
down to the defunct husbands bones.
Having thus done all she can to pro-
pitiate his spirit, she goes off with a
good courage to start life again as q
wife.

DR.. Max Muller relates that the late
queen of Holland frequently came to
England and was fond of meeting while
there distinguished literary people. On
one occasion she lunched with Dean
Stanley and asked him to invite several
literary men, among whom were Tenny-
son, Lord Houghton, Huxley and Max
Muller himself.
Luncheon was ready, and everybody
son. Dean Stanley suggested that the
party should wait no longer, but the
queen refused to sit down before the
laureate's arrival. There was another
period of waiting, painful to all the
company.
Finally some one suggested that prob
ably Tennyson was "mooning about in
the cloisters somewhere. One was sent
to see, and the poet was indeed found
there, apparently oblivious that any
thing was going ON. He was brought i'll
and placed at the table next the queen
of the Netherlands.
The queen took tho conversation into
her own hands and i'll particular tried
to draw Tennyson out. He was not in
talking mood. She addressed him a
question.

Then there was another question.
"No, ma am, came from Tennyson
Again she asked his opinion about
something. The question was not sus-
ceptible of answer by Eyes" or mo. "
"Ma'am, said Tennyson after a
great effort, there is great deal to be
said on both sides of the question.

Mistakes of Women of Small Meaus

Mistakes of Women of Small Meaus.
Sometimes wife settles down INTO
a dreary. domestic routine, honestly
believing that until her husband $
finances improve there IS no other
course for her TO pursue" writes Helen
jay in the Ladies' Home Journal. IN
this matter. as in many Others concern
ing home life. the false standard OF
money obtains rather than the simple
law of common sense. The very fact
that many people can afford ella borate
entertainments does not imply that
they cannot enjoy simple ones. Novelty
Is the charm of life, as variety is its
spice, and very often the guests who
come from luxurious homes are the
most easily pleased. Competent house
keepers are generally the most gener-
Gus in their estimate of the efforts or
others, and the young housewife who
through fear of criticism refuses to
invite her richer or more experienced
friend to her home is simply cheating
herself of much pleasure. In fact, the
real breaks of social intercourse are
quite as apt to come from self-depreci-
alton on the part of the woman with
the small income as from any feeling
of superiority on the part of her more
wealthy friends"

About seventy members of the league
were present when the convention met yes
terday morning. The States of Indiana,
Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky. Illinois and Mis-
souri, were represented. The address of the
president showed that there had been a ma
terial increase in the membership of the
league in the last year. According to the
report OF the treasurer the league has a bal
ance of 500 more to its credit than it had a
year ago. During the morning the conven-
ton listened to talk from II. s. Greeley,

abuse on the part of the proprietors of
large warehouses in the grain centers, who
are permitted to buy and sell grain. He did
not think this should be- He took the view
that the owners of warehouses merely hold
grain in trust for the regular dealers, and
they should contne their business to this
line as long as they profess to be merely
custodians for other people.

lutions during the day: one OF or, these was IS

The pocketbook of Mrs. Margaret Bolin,
who was killed by g. Pennsylvania passenger
train Monday night, has been turned over to
the coroner. The purse when the coroner re-
ceived it contained $3.50. John McGrath,
who was the first to reach Mrs. Bolin after
the accident. says the dying woman asked
him to get her pocketbook, stating that
there was between $274 and $275 in it. Nc
Grath says he looked for the pocketbook
but found that man named Jameson had
picked it up. Jameson said to him that he
had given it to a conductor. McGrath says
ne went to the conductor and asked for
the pocketbook but Just then tho train
started
The pocketbook was given to the coroner
by yardmaster, who said he found it near
where Mrs. Bolin lay. A friend OF Mrs.
Bolins family says she heard the daughter
say she did not know how much money
her mother had in the pocketbook. The
coroner believes there is mistake some
where, but suggested yesterday that the
matter be placed in the hands of the de-
tectives. Dugan and Asche, of the city de-

PAYING THE FIDDLER.
REGISTERING Soldiers Get a Taste OF
Military Discipline.

Military Discipline.
The officer of the guard reported to Col.
Barnett yesterday morning that there were
forty men in the guardhouse that had been
captured by the guards at different times
during the night as they were returning to
the camp after a high old time" in the
city with the money they had drawn from
the State the day before Colonel Barnett
was very angry at this showing-he had
told the Journal the day before that his
regiment was the best behaved in the
brigade-and determined that the offenders
should receive a lesson that they should
not soon forget. The men were set to work
policing the camp and in short time the
grounds In and about the regiments tents
were cleaner than they have ever been be-
fore since the camp was established. Not
scrap of rubbish was TO be seen and
wherever grass had survived the tramping
of the troops it was neatly raked.
The Third Battalion did not drill in the
morning; instead Captain Coleman, of Com
pany C, from New Albany, devoted the
drill time to a lecture to the battalion on
the wickedness OF its ways. The reason for
this particularly strong reprimapd was that
thirty-three men of Company had left the
camp the night before without leave, that
twenty-five were in the guardhouse in the
morning and that the rest had not returned
but were prolongiHg their festivities in the
city. Up to late hour last night these
men had not yet returned, but there is no
fear that they will not straggle into quar-
tiers as soon as their money runs out or they
brace up and determine to go back to the
regiment and receive the warm, or rather
hot reception that awaits them.
Four of the men had spent the night in
the police station and besides being charged
with drunkenness in Police Court yesterday
morning they were charged with shooting
in the streets, several shots having entered
the front of a house Of ill-fame, one OF
them penetrating q plateglass window and

Hope for the sienaI corps.
