greater effect, the speaker believed one
of the great social problems would be
solved There are now three colonies,
established in California Colorado and
at point near Cleveland. The army
believed that the deserving poor would
be glad to get the opportunity to work,
and the colonies would relieve the cities
of their squalor and the poverty caused
by ovcr-crowded tenements and not
enough work FOR the hands ready to
work. The speaker was certain the
scheme was not a visionary one. nor a
Utopia. but so far 1t had been success
ful and had met all arguments. The
western colonies had each school,
house and were filled with happy pio-
neers. It would pay the nation: pota-
toes and turnips repaid their cultiva-
ton and humanity properly dealt with
will pay.
After Mrs. Booth-Tucker concluded.
Brigadicr Clifford made an appeal for
financial support Of the army's social
work, and he stated in the course of his
remarks that it was the army's pur-
pose 10 open Il shelter home in Wheel
ing for homeless men. This home will
not be put In operation for few
months. rs the lease couldn't be secured
yet on the property desired, These
homes were in Philadelphia and other
cities. At them u man was given his
bed and breakfast for ten cetns. The
army needed money for the initial ex-
penscs. later the institution would be
sclf-supportins.
Remarks along this line were made
also by Mrs. Booth-Tucker, who was
quite happy in her appeal. and Adju-
tant Tcrrill, who has charge of the local
corps.
The collection for the social work
netted 500.

Woman's Rights-An Allegory.

Three sober ROSTERS were in state
One day, behind the hen-house gate.
Like savage chieftains grimly drear
Appeared each hen.pecked chanticleer,
Who worded, as he YEARLY sat,
A short address on "Tit for Tat"
Soon came the orator-his crow
Was wofully suppressed and low.
"Before l speak perhaps 'twere best
To heed an adage world renowned
And see if any hens are round";
Up Jumps the Bantam from the walk.
$50, we're behind the age in talk;
Our hens prosper, they fight so bold,
They think they crow like roosters old,
And, OIL my friends, how they scold!
We are sick of idleness and play,
They're growing richer every day.
But have hit upon plan
If they will crow and brood and spat,
Well hatch the chickens" A wondrous plan
Each cock betook himself unto a nest
And waited, in maternal mood, for its brood
But Judging from their restless feet,
They did not fancy eggs for seats.
As dimly gathered shades of night
Their truant mates appeared in sight;
Not with triumphant march they came,
Each head was bowed with grief and shame,
From every eye streamed tears of woe
But not one hen essayed to crow.
"What's the matter 70 ask the four
Who sat within the hen-house door.
"Our Sister Penfower has split her throat,
And we are sick with grief and pain
And want our quiet homes again"
"Take them and welcome" said the sage,
~ fear we all have rushed the age"
So each rooster stepped from off his nest,
Then looked upon his work abashed,
For not an egg remained unsmashed.
Clipped.

Portrait of Dewey.

Thomas W. Wood, Vermont's famous ar
portrait of Admiral Dewey.
The artist is fellow citizen of Admiral
Dewey. Both were born in Montpelier, VT,
and, while they did not attend the same dis
trict school and were not close companions
as boys the neighborliness of the families was
such that when the reputation as q portrait
painter became established, he was commits
stoned 10 paint a picture of DIR. Dewey father
of the Admiral. That was in October, 1885,
and the painting is hanging today in the or
fee of Charles Dewey. The a1miraPs broth
err. Thus it came atout that Mr.. Wood sug-
gested to himself the timeliness of putting on
canvass the face of the man who won such q
greet victo1y and told of it so unpretentious-
Iy thst he at once became the idol of the
American people.
1t was not and is not Mr.. Woods intention
to paint the ortI ait for public display. When
it is finished it will be sent to his private gall
lery in Montpelier as a valued addition to
the treasures of the town and state. He
wrote to the admiral in October last making
the suggestion and few dags sgo,under date
of January 30, on board the flagship Olympia,
ment of his letter and cheerful expression
of willingness to accede 10 the request.
Mr.. Wood will make two paintings If time
permit-one q bust of the admiral and the
other a full length portrait, showing the adj
mirsl standing on the bridge of the Olympia
in the white duck Uniform that he wore wht q
he gave the order 10 attack Montojo's fleet.
To this historical scene the artist will devote
his best efforts.
Immediately after the flagship arrives in
New York harbor aud as soon as the rejoic.
ing has subsidized sufficiently Mr.. Wood will
go aboard the Olympia to pay his respects to
the admiral and arrange for the sittinRs, OF
rather the standings.

TO CLEAN CARPETS.
Bathing an Elephant.

If there is one thing which an ele-
plant enjoys above all things else, it Is
his bath. In India elephants are used
to draw the great guns of the heavy
batteries. They take their baths in the
barracks, at the troughs where they
drink, and they behave much better
about it than many children. They
have to lie down and be patient while
they are washed by their attendants.
They turn themselves about very
promptly to suit their convenience.
The attendant rubs the hide with a
piece Of stone instead Of sponge, and
If the stone slips out Of his hand the
elephant politely picks it up with his
trunk and hands 1t back. After they
have been well scrubbed the elephants
give themselves shower bath, using
their trunks to dash the water upon
themselves, and they can hit any part
Of their bodies with ease.
