$120 a year to ray their subscriptions to

1t is worry doubtful whothor such appro-

money is spont for less worthy objects,
and yet n Congressman who Is too
stingy to take all the newspapers in his
district is hardly representative man.
This might also apply to members of tho

Forever in that chilly bed,

And her form of winning grace,
Rising, shining in the light
That glows around her grave so bright.
And nevor feel the breeze
That waves tho blossoms on tho troes
BY that lone and dreary hill
Whore her sacred hands lie still,
That do not feel tho breath
From hor lips now cold in doath-
Her gentle lips Of crimson hue,
Now pale boneath the midnight dow.

That hand to mo SO fondly dear
Whose touch is sweetest love and care
That do not feel u pain
That her dear hands ne'or again
Shall press this bosom whilo sho lies
So still beneath tho midnight skies.
And novor hear the flow
OF the music, soft and low,
Which kind Nature sings to me
While sit beside her knee,
That do not hoar the swelling
Of mothers voice gently telling
OF the tendor love sho bore for mo
Ere she was laid by the Congareo.

The Squlre's Dilemma.

A Justice of the peace in ono of the
West End boroughs issued warrant for
tho arrest of n West End woman for
slander. Squire S. J. White happened
to bo present at tho hearing. Tho prose
cutor testified that the defendant had
called hor an cold virago," and that she
had added, "I don't know what that
means, but whatever it is that's what
you are" Tho witness admitted that
she did not know what tho meaning of
tho word was oithor; but she know it had
no good meaning or tho other wouldn't
have made use Of it.
"No matter what it MEANS" said the
squire, who is an intensely patriotic
American, otis foreign name, and she
had no business calling you it. I'll fine
her for it."
"Squiro," whispered Squire White in
his car, ''you have no jurisdiction IN
slander suits. They must bo entered in
court"
"Well, I'll hold her for court, then,''
tho Squire declared.
"But thero's no law under which you
can do that" he was told.
"Woli, Pll hold her anyhow" ho re
piled, "and tost the constitutionality OF
tho aot.''
"But thore is no act," persisted Squire
White.
| "Got out Of this oilico |" commanded
tho Squire, turning on him. "Do yo,

NO Wonder He Fled.

A tall, solemn-looking young man
entered the restaurant with mild,
apologetic air, and seated himself at
vacant table near the middle of the
room. 1t was evident that he
dreaded to intrude. He wanted to
get as far away from other people as
possible. He even blushcd painfully
when he gave his order, and the
most casuel observer could have told
that he was bashful.
Just as his dinner was brought to
him buxom-looking woman with
seven small children entered the
place. The head water swept the
field with his eye, pounced down
on the table where tho young man
had sought solitude, motioned to
the mother, who ciucked to the
chickens, and moment later they
were all around that one table,.
The young mans face was q serial
story.
Other people entered the restau-
rant, glanced at the group, smiled
significantly, and seated themselves
"IIe doesn't look it, does he p

an audible whisper.
"She looks at least 10 years Older

"He painted picture after picture
Of the pleasures and joye< and sym

love and preached the gospel of hui
manity like an angel. Then / saw
him dip his brush in the ink of moral
blaokness and blot ont the beautiful
pictures ho had painted. saw him
stab love dead at his feet. I saw
him bloS out the stars and the sun
and leave humanity and tho universe
in eternal darkness and eternal dcath.
81 saw him, like the serpent of old,
worm himself into. the paradise OF
human hearts and by his seductive
eloquence and subtle devices and
sophistry inject his fatal venom, un-
der whose light it's powers faded.
Its music was hushed, its sunshine
was darkened and it's soul was left q
desert waste with only tho now made

meteor, without an orbit, sweep
across the intellectual sky, brilliant
only in its solf-consuming fire, gene,
rated by friction with the indestructi-
bic and eternal truths of God.
"That man was the archangcl OF

is it that thinks and feels and knows

Fall Gardening.

Der they will furnish slender white
stems for the table about two weeks
from the beginning of growth in the
spring. One-third ounce Of seed OF
quart of sets goes to 100 feet of
row.
Parsley is biennial. If wanted in
early spring, parsley may be sowed
in September in moderately fertile
soil. During cold weather the plants
should be covered nearly to the top
with leaves, held in place by brush
One-fourth of one ounce of seed
will SOW 100 feet of drill.
If sowed in the fall, spinach can
usually be wintered under a mulch,
which should be removed early in
the spring. The drills should be a
foot apart and the seed covered
about an inch deep. Thin to six
inches apart and finally, as the plants
grow, to twelve inches in row
New Zealand is a new variety, quite
different from the common, and the
plants stand three feet apart. Per-
petual spinach is sown in rows foot
apart, in very rich soil and thinned
to give room. Half an ounce OF
ordinary seed is right for 100 feet OF
drill. Twenty-Five plauts> Of New
Zealand is enough for family.
