The abandoned farm" bids fair to
become extinct In New England. Ac-
cording to latest reports, Connecticut's
cheap farms are being absorbed, though
at low prices. The acreage in the last
official list of farms for sale is much
reduced from the original statistics.
Commenting upon this, however, an
exchange says it does not necessarily
indicate revival of "hard listed"
farming Much land is taken up by
summer residents. fancy" farmers,
fish and game syndicates. etc.

ports the cranberry crop as liberal, on

THE sPRTrE OF THE HILLTOP.

When Moons are hot and very still,
It's ho for the sprite that lives on the
hin,
Stealing along from nook to nook,
over the stones in the mountain brook
Along the path where the cattle go,
On shyest ways that the hill-folk
know!
Through sunny open and leafy alley
Down he HES him into the valley.
Then the thIstle-wheel round and
round
Goes rolling and rolling without a
sound,
And silver simmer runs over the
pond
And he runs after, and on beyond,
Swings the wild cherries asleep by the
wall,
Rufus the fur of a squirrel, and that is
all
A Whit Of sweet from the wood or the
meadow
He is here again, on the back of a sha-
dow,
And it's criekle on crickle along the
track
His quick feet make on the shadows
back,
OF he jumps, and, whisklng up,
Spills sunshine out of a huttercup,
And yellow bugs, all shiny and lazy,
Tumbles headlong off the daisy.
He tickles the rib Of fat old toad
He smothers the mulleins with smoke
Of the road
he fun's just beginning still all
still,
The sprite has gone home to the top Of
the hill.

WHEN I AM DEAD

When | am dead
Bring roses red.
And poppies blooms of rest
And heap them on my breast
That | may breathe their perfume deep
And sleep and sleep and sleep
No flowers white,
For chill delight
Give me on that glad day
But bend and smale and say
Bring blooms that burn and light and
glow
She loved all warmth and color So
And all about my feet
Drop cloyers pink and sweet.
Why should YOU lay those cold white
things
On the heart where lie with folded
wings,
The cold, dead bird of song?
Dearest. the last night is so long
| pray you pile the poppies deep
Upon my breast that ! may sleep.
When | am dead
Let the suns red
From OF the singing main;
Yes, everything must sing that day
when | so on my glad new way,
And If there should be any tears,
Let them be for my wasted years
And not for me Throw all the win
dows wide
And let the strong surge of the tide
Come sounding once more up the hill
And | shall hear It still'
And each homecoming wave
shall say.
BE glad be very glad today
And for the last time / shall hear,
But after that | would not hear,
Fer sweet as thought of hearing seems
Who hears must dream, and I would
have no dreams,
So pile the crimson peoples deep
For a long dreamless sleep,

variety Of topics. but as a rule the
debate lacked spirit and interest Dur
ing the course Of the debate Mr. Hep
burn. chairman Of the interstate and
foreign commerce committee, gave no
tice that he would offer the Nicaragua
canal bill as an amendment to the

been moved TO take this course by the
statement made by Mr. Cannon Thurs
day that the bill would not be consld-

gued that the amendment would be in
order and could properly be placed
upon the bill.

During the entire open session the sen
ate had under consideration the legis-

the time being occupied with debate
on minor topics. A message from the
president recommending Pacific
cable was read and referred to the

route or method is advocated. a bill
was passed authorizing the Dakota

That Remarkable Family Again.

Another child has been born to Mr..
and Mrs. William Swartwood, of Noun
tain Top-the twenty-fifth. OF the
twenty-five children, two are dead and
the other twenty-three reside at home.
One of the oldest sons and one of the
daughters are married and reside, with
their children, at the Swartwood home
stead. The sons are employed as brake
men on the Central with the father,
who is an engineer, and though all make
good wages it takes all their earnings to
keep the homestead going.
There are three pairs of twins born
to Mr.. and Mrs. Swartwood and one OF
them died in infancy six years ago.
Another baby died last year.
Mr.. Swartwood is about fifty years of
age and weighs about $50 pounds, while
his wife is about six years his junior
and weighs about 175 pounds. Both are
healthy and happy.
Thirty people gather about the table
at each meal. The home is decidedly
happy one and there is a family re-
union every day in the year.

Grating Operation Performed.

A very interesting operation was per-
formed on Miss Kate Foy, at Mercy
hospital, Wilkesbarre, yesterday. Two
weeks ago Miss Foy, who was employed
at laundry, had one of her arms torn
from the wrist to the shoulder. The
skin was entirely gone. 1t was decided
to resort to the grating operation. The
fifteen girls in the laundry volunteered
to give part of their skin to be grated
on the injured arm, and yesterday the
first grating was done.
Five of the girls went to the hospital
and had portions OF skin taken from
their arms and grated on Miss Foy's in
jured arm. Two sections were taken
from some of them, and others three.
In a day or two another five will under
go the same operation, and in few
days later the remaining five.
