membered l was not in Chicago. The
sole cab had been retired from service
at the beginning Of the storm, so 1 set
out to walk the half mile between the
station and the old homestead. Let us
pass over that tramp. merely remark
ing that the last trace of my pleasant
dreams of anticipation had vanished
long before l pounded the old familiar
knocker on the front door of my ia
theirs house.
my welcome there was all l could
have wished, and 1 soon forgot the
trials of the journey. There was the
big coal stove roaring like a blast fur
mace, and in every room in the house
wood fire was burning. The apples
and cider were promptly placed before
me, and we settled down to an old
time chat. At 10 O'clock my good old
mother took small lamp and led the
way to the spare room, in which fire
had been lighted after my arrival.
Here everything was cozy also and as
warm as toast. The bed, with its big
feather ticks, looked like giant snow

plenty of wood in a box behind the
stove, and mother suggested that it
would be good idea for me to get up
once in awhile through the night and
replenish the fire.
1T must have been after o'clock
in the morning when l awoke. The
room was colder than Greenland. De
spite feather bed and dozen blankets
and quilts, / was chilly. got up and
lighted the fire, which had been out for
hours. At 6 o'clock mother came soft
ly into my room and started that fire
again. She did not want to disturb
me; but, bless you, I had not been
asleep since got back to bed. Seeing
me awake, she said father had taken
one of his bad turns, and she had told
him he must stay in bed. She did not
say what she considered my duty in
the circumstances, but l saw it clearly
enough.
'Must l go into all the details? Can
not you imagine what followed? In
fancy don't you see me all through
that long Sunday, with the wind howl
ing like a host of demons and the
snow blowing and banking up all
around the house, Juggling in dozen
scuttles of coal from the shed at the
foot of the garden; carrying in some
thing like four cords of wood to keep
half a dozen fires going; shoveling
paths to the pump, the wood shed, the
barn, the front gate, the back gate, the
side gate and the cistern? Need tell
a hired man, common laborer, a
nurse, a chambermaid? Cannot you
see me carrying the shattered frag-
ments of my ideal out to the alley
through three feet of snow banks and
heaving them away over into the
neighbours back yard?
'I'm going to cut the rest Of this tale,

periences of the night before, except
that / sat up and watched the fire in
stead of going to bed. Next morning,
finding the old gentleman had recover
ed, packed my grip and took the first
train back to Chicago.
And one WORD more, SmlIn. 10 you
know, now that l calmly think it over,
that experience Sunday was no differ
ent from many another Of my early
days at home; had simply surround
ed the past with a halo of ideality
which made the present look mean by
contrast. But l am cured."-Chicago

POWER.

Have you seen the locomotive as she struggles up
the slope,
Painting, blowing, shrieking onward, like tfav-
eler spurred by hope,
Onward, upward, ever pressing, like being with
soul?
But the power that propels her is shoyelful of
COAL
TIL, at last, she's reached the summit, then
adown the hillside flies,
Where another mighty mountain starts its jour
ney to the skies;
Now no effort, swiftly downward, gently DER
each grassy knoll,
Still she now and then Is calling for shovelfui
of coal.
30 in life we upward journey, up lies trouble
some ascent,
To the Mecca we are seeking, earnestly our feet
are bent,
But the journey would be lighter, sooner we
would reach the goal,
II, as fercely onward pressing, we would shovel in
the coal
True, some early struggle upward till they reach
the mountain height,
Then perhaps lie idly waiting where the journey
is more light,
TIL again they reach the bottom. but the fellow
on the roll
OF the mighty is the fellow who keeps shovelins
the coal.

Cooking and Eating.

If we ate properly, the physician
would lose his occupation. And we
can eat for whatever we want-to get
fat, to get lean, to be nervous or
phlegmatic or to stop or encourage the
ravages Of disease. An "open door"
awaits them all. Is it too much to hope
that the twentieth century will see a
law compelling cooks to take medical

A SONG OF WOMEN.
Our lips shall sing the victory.

Our lips shall sing the victory,
Vow vengeance for defeat;
Our gold we bring with willing hands,
Nor come with tagging feet.
With voices brave and kindling eyes
We arm our men to fight,
And when the last farewell is said
We stand and face the night.
At night the little lamps go forth
To seek the newly slain,

That shall not stand againi

Nor keep but woman's heritage.

The sailors worked with a will until
they saw the boats drawing up to the
gangway and the passengers taking
places, when they left their work and
sprang for the boats. The passengers
made rush at the same moment, but
as they neared the gangway they met

"Get out of the way!' Kissed a gigan-
tic Swede, raising his heavy hand.
"Out of the way or will crush you
with single blow"
A pistol cracked. and the man fell
back, shot through the shoulder. The
crowd recoiled before this determined
young man, for even in an hour like
this men fear sudden death.
Keep back, l sayP' repeated the
young mate. "Pass along those ladies
first, for they go in the first boat"
The order was promptly obeyed, and
then six of the crew, called out by
name, went into the boat and pulled 1t
away from the gangway under COM
mand of the first mate. Boat after boat
pulled up to the gangway, received its
load and pulled away. There was no
more rushing, for there was death in

Through this fiery barrier the two men
dashed and were seen striking out for
the boat.

The men looked at him f1ercely, but
the steady eye of the old man awed
them, and the two were helped into the
boat, the captain supported by the
strong arm of his gallant mate. The
boats pulled away together, while the
column of flame which shot in the air
announced the fate of the Gray Eagle.

ly shows business capabilities at ten
der age, If he is ever going to have
them. l have heard of certain small
Boston boy who got into the habit of
teasing his mother for pennies until at
last she said to him: Now, Willie,
don't like to give you pennies. If you
want money, you should go to work
and earn it."
The boy remained thoughtful for
some time. Then within a few days
the mother perceived that Willie had
plenty of pennies. She wondered a
bit where he got them, but did not
question him. But one summer day
she noticed that some sort Of hula
baloo was going on in the back yard.
Looking out, she saw Willie surround
ed by mob Of boys who were yelling
with delight. She went down into the
yard to see what was going on, and as
she passed out she saw stuck up on the
back wall of the house this notice,
quite neatly printed" out with a PEN
oil.
