PIE on EARTH And the sweet old
Southern homes that still stand
here and there in the rush and clat-
ter of "modernity" and progress
not as protests against the things
that are made new-they are too fair
and gentle for that-but as beauti-
fu! memories OF all that was faire st
and sweetest and best in the Old
South. How beautiful they are,
these old Southern homes, with the
pleasant dignity of the old colonial
architecture, and the stately grace
of their massive columned vera. das.
And just the shadow of pathos that
rests upon them, tenderly as the
sun kissed haze of these Indian
summer days. They temper our
modern desire for newness and Cd
dity by their orderly sweetness, they
correct our architectural frenzies by
their old-fashioned serenity. They

the old times, of the old order. They
stood here before the war. They
have known the fiery scourge
of battle. They have been deluged
with woe. They have been baptized
in sorrows-some of which the

And some of them have been COM

widowhood, the grief of the orphan.
And the sorrow that is common

fierce, cruel past, and the kisses that
rained on the face of the dead turn
into caresses of consolation for the

brushing away tear. The glasses were
put away, and the man received three
quarters and ticket He went out,
shaking from head to foot with sup
, pressed sobs.
These were only few incidents which
actually occurred in Park Row pawn
shop in the course of two hours one day
last week. Other people pledged things
and went away. Most of them were
able to keep down their feelings, how
ever, and many of them were regulars,
who went in and out as if they were
used to it., as they certainly were.
In another pawn shop which Sun
reporter entered one day recently, he
found nearly fifty people standing
against the counter waiting to be at
tended to. There were men and women
and even children there. Some were
hard looking, and evidently felt right at
home, while others, by their embarrass-
ed chances around them, showed how
unused they were to being in places of
such character. Some of the women
looked as though they were about to
burst into tears, while the attempts at
dignity on the part of some of the men
were pitiful to look at. When a clerk
asked pale-faced old man, whose gray
hair almost reached his shoulders, what
he desired, he placed his hand in his
pocket as though searching for some
thing, and then, turning paler than
ever, cried out, "I've been robbed my
watch is gone "
"What kind of watch was it ?"
asked somebody.
CA silver one," faltered the old
man, " it was all | had. | wanted to
get few dollars on it. My God, what
shall / do ?" and the tears gathered in
the poor old fellows eyes and rolled
down his cheeks.
"You didn't lose it here" said the
clerk. you'd better go home and see
if you left it there" and he turned to
another customer, while the rest of the
crowd elbowed the old man out of the
way. For half an hour the man stood
in corner of the place, with his head
resting on his hands. Then one of the
clerks went over and told him he'd have
to get out if he had no business to
transact He didn't protest, but but
toning his shabby coat around him
walked out muttering to himself; It's
hard, it's hard"

The person who does not love life in
the country has lost the best part of his
nature by being cast out of the garden
at an early period of life, to be artificial
ly reared on the sights and sounds of the
streets and alleys of some city. He
knows nothing of real home life-cities
have very little-as rule, only number
so-and-so, such street; he has very lit
tie sense of home joys and affections; the
pure air and water of the country; its
holy quietudes: it's gentle appeal to all
the senses; it's solitudes, where tumult
and mob never intrude; it's delightful
woods: its sports and pleasures; its loves
and friendships, undefled by the dust
and CRIME of crowded tenements and
thronged thoroughfares; its sacred
privacies and seclusions; it's leisure, it's
freedom and independence from the in
trusions and demands of hurrying
urban life, and its sacred exemptions
from the gross contacts and associa-
tions of the bustling and shouldering
streets-all these, and more akin to
them, make the rural existence a per-
petual delight, undefiled by the con-
ditions that attend the constant pres
sure of mixed and crowded population
The farm is not bonanza, but it
feeds the world. To one accustomed,
its labors are easy and healthy; its in
cidents interesting; it's rests, changes
and relaxations, with exchanges of
visits, always full of recreation; its crops
engage continual care and attention
with daily vicissitudes of weather that
never destroy hope and even cheer with
promise of fruition, and at the last, with
garnered crops, it affords you plenty:
with rousing fire under your own roof
happy in being monarch of all you
survey, despite the struggles for bread
in the cities and the never ending ex-
ertions and woes inseparable from style
and its silly rivalries.
Go back to the country young man.!
Go home to the farm. Seize the pillow
and become an Independent and happy
man, though you may miss wealth
and luxury Exchange.

A Frank Critic.

Gov. Roosevelt is always glad of a
laugh. A short time ago he enjoyed
an opportunity and paid for it. The
incident happened while he was Wis
iting Cornell University during a
convention. The students, glad of
an opportunity to display their in
thusiasm, entertained the Governor
at one of the fraternity houses. Just
as he was about to leave, one of his
staff said to him:
Governor, the boys have the foun-
dation of a capital library, aud /
think they would appreciate copy

"All right, boys, said the Govern.

OLDEST PRISONER.

The report of the directors of the Con-
necticut state prison, recently issued,
shows that John Warren, whose home
was near East HARTFORD, in the south
ern part of Coventry. is the oldest pris-
oner in time of service in the institution
He is life prisoner and was convicted
of murder in the second degree and SEN
fenced to life imprisonment in the Toll
land county superior court December
IA, 1859 When he was sentenced he
was but twenty-one years old, and he
has therefore spent forty years in the
prison, six years longer than any other
inmate. Warren was supposed to have
drowned his young wife in one of the
streams in the neighborhood and it was
a long time before he was found, the
story being that he secreted himself in
a cave in a mountain near the Planners
district schoolhouse for several days.
That Warren is model prisoner is evil
denced by the fact that, according to
the report, he was promoted to the first
grade February 8, 1897.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
Do Not BE Alarmed, But Look For The
Cnuse.

DO Not BE Alarmed, But Look For The
Cause.
Heart troubles, at least among the
Americans, are certainly increasing,
and while this may be largely due to
the excitement and worry Of American
business life, 1t is more often the re-
suit of weak stomachs, Of poor diges-
| ton.
Real organic disease is incurable; but
not one case in hundred of heart trou-
Bile Is organic,
The close relation between heart trou-
Bile and poor digestion is because both
organs are controlled by the same great
nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneumo-
gastric.
In another way, also the heart is af-
fected by the form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation from
half -digested food; there Is feeling Of
oppression and heaviness in the chest,
caused by pressure of the distended
stomach on the heart and lungs, inter-
fering with their action; hence arises
palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making 1t thin and watery. which irri-
tates and Weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of
food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, like Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be
found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive ell
ements in a pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular per-
sistent use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's at meal time will cure any form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach.

Jaw sru0Or. BASEBALL

AT meeting of few members of the
law department Of Yale university yes
terday morning a baseball association
was organized. Samuel Hoyt was elect
ed manager and Morris Ely captain.
This action was taken without the
knowledge of the greater number of
members of the department and there
were not more than two or three mem
bers of the senior class present. Had
the senior class been represented there
would have been some strong opp9sl-
ton to the movement as this class had
considerable experience with the team
that represented the department last
year. A number of seniors were heard
to express their views on the matter,
and they spoke in no uncertain Ian
guage.
