THE OLD HOME HAUNTs.

There's sound that rings in my ears to-
day.
That echoes in vague refrain.
The ripple of water Ger smooth washed
Where the wall-eyed pike and the black
bass play.
That makes me yearn. in 4 quiet way.
For my old fy-rod again.
Back to the old home haunts again,
Back where the clear lake lies:
Back through the woods
Where the blackbird broOdS,
Back TO my rod and flies.
Tn longing to paddle the boat today.
Through water-logged grass and reeds:
Where the muskrat swims, and the cattalls
sway:
Where the air is cool and the mist is gray;
Where ripples dance in the same old way,
Under the tangled weeds
Back on the old oak log again,
Back by the crystal brook;
Back to the bait
And the silent wait.
Back to my line and hook.
| wish I could wade by the waters edge,
Where the fallen leaves drift by:
Just to see in the shadow of the ledge.
How dark forms glide, like woodlands
wedge.
Through driftwood piles and the coarse
marsh Sedge,
And to hear the bittern cry.
Back where the tadpoles shift and sink,
Back where the bull-frogs sob;
Back just to float
In the leaky boat,
Back to my dripping bob.
Oh. it's lust like this on each misty day,
It's always the same old pain
That struggles and pulls in the same old
way
TO carry me off for little stay
BY the waters edge, in sticky clay,
To fish in the falling rain.
Back to my long black rubber boots.
Back 70 my old patched coat;
Back TO my rod
And the breath of Cod
Homeland my leaky boat.

Savings Banks Of Roman Children.

The children OF the Romans used to
put their pennies into savings banks
Just as the children of the Yankees do
to-day. In 1885, when Professor
Thomas Wilson, OF the Smithsonian
Institution, was wandering about Os'
tia, the seaport of ancient Rome, ne
found group of peasants e1cavating.
They had dug out of the sand num-
Der of pots and jars that had been
buried for ages, and one of them had
found 9 child's saving bank which
contained It's silver coins issued by
the emperors of Rome between the
years 200 and 10 B. G. AS none OF
the later date were found, it is to be
assumed that some child lost this
bank shortly before our era, and it
was covered for nineteen centuries by
the encroaching sand.
The little savings bank was almost
perfect when it was uncovered, but the
peasant who found it broke it open to
get the coins within. Professor Will
son found most of the pieces, how
ever, and has been able to put it to-
gether. It consists Of single piece

During the entire summer until

the music rack and seem to listen.
Her ralpi would vibrate with almost
inconceivable rapidity, while every
now and then she would lift her an
terror pair of legs and wave them to
and fro and up and down. Just Of
soon, however, as I commenced 6
march or galop she would take to hel
heels and flee away to her den some
where in the interior of the piano,
where she would sulk until enticed
