The Scythe in the Tree.

Thirty eight years ago. says the
Springfield Republican, young Angus
tus Bliss of Warwick quit cutting brush
on his fathers farm, hung his scythe on
Il pine tree and went off TO the war. The
soldier boy never came back, and the
scythe has never been taken down from
the tree where he hung it, but has be-
come imbedded in the growing pine until
it is fixture. This pathetic reminder
of the great civil struggle is familiar
sight TO members of the Sheomet club
of this city, as the tree stands near the
clubs comfortable quarters in BliSsville,
hamlet just across the North Orange
line into Warwick. Blissvile was n
busy center of small industries, traces Of
which remain to tell the story Of the
shifting Of the scene of manufacturing
from the small country hamlet to large
centers. The tree has witnessed ali
these changes, has seen the mill standing
near slowly falling into decay. the popu-
lation changing, but still the scythe
hangs there. summer and winter. mute

D'ANNUNZIO AT WORK.
He Avoids Interruptions by the Use
of Ladder.


Gabrielle d'Annunzio's method of work
ing is as original as his work itself. a
student and at the same time man of
the world, he resolutely abandons pleas
ure at certain seasons and devoteS him
self wholly to literary work. That moth
ing may distrub him. he goes to the coun-
try house Of his friend, Michetti, the
painter, and there, in a large room, he
labors strenuously over his rOmances. No
staircase leads to this room, neither has it
any door. In the morning a ladder is
placed against the window, and Dan
nunzio climbs up and thus reaches his
desk. Thereupon the ladder is removed
by Michetti, and the novelist works at
his ease until noon, when his friend
climbs up to him with Il light luncheon.
The entire afternoon is also devoted to
work. and not until evening does ID An
nunzio descend the ladder. He then
joins Michetti in short walk. after
which the two friends chat together I'M
til late in the night. In this way DAN
nunzlO forces himself to work steadily.
for no matter how much he may be
tempted to wander away and enjoy hlm-
self IN society, the absence of stairs and
of the ladder during the working hours
renders it impossible for him to escape
from his temporary prison. Several Of
his romanceS have been written under
such conditions. and their success has
been SO great that the author is becom-
ing yearly more attached to the large and
clolstral room i'll his friends country

WHEN FATHER SIGNS A CHECK.

WHEN FATHER SIGNS A CHECK.
They've lately served poor father up
In quite sarcastic truck,
when father sings q lullaby,
When father carves the duck,
And when he monkeys this or that
To any rhymeSters beck
But no one yet has sung about
When father signs a check.
The old man isn't up to date
In table manners, p'raps
And doesn't talk, or walk, or dress
Like modern college chaps.
But on his business habits, sirs,
There's neither flaw nor feck-
You've get paper good as gold
When father signs a check.
He uses the colonial quill;
The letters of his name
Are rugged as the hand that writes
UncVenly the same.
But you can bet the jewels al
That kingly crowns bedeck,
The banks hand out the requisite
When father signs a check.
