NO PLACE LIKE HOME.
That IL the Sentiment Of Children Of
LOndon's Sums.

That IL the Sentiment Of Children Of
London's SIums.
The children of London's slums think
there is no place like home, be 1t ever
SO squalid and poverty-stricken. 'They
miss the flaming naphtha lamps. the
Wrinkle barrows, the hokey-pokey man
and all the other things that have been
their lifelong companions" said Father
Stanton, of st. Adams, Holborn, when
asked by the Daily Mail representative
how the children of the slums take to
their summer outings in the country.
"Then, too they are afraid of the
dark at night, and are lost in the day
time in the country" continued the
kindly faced, great-hearted friend OF
thousands of street Arabs and gutter
gamins. They have all sorts of rea-
sons for preferring the city to the coun-
try, and some of them are perfectly In
explicable. One little boy wrote to me
after his outing last year and said he
didn't like the country because while
there wasp had stung him.

weeks in the country, and could give
no reason for his choice" 1t never
entered the modest mind of. this favor

''They like going out in vans best OF

they eat green fruit and thoroughly en-
joy themselves. But though they like
the hubbub Of the city best. and are
really glad to get back to it. their
brown cheeks and bright eyes tell
merry tale when they return. Then
you should hear the amusing stories
they tell, and you would see how their
cramped, warped and stunted little
minds have been opened up by a
glimpse of the green wonderland they
know so pitifully little about. Never
mind what they say about it, it's the
good the outing does them that we are
after. London Mail.

Fascination which Wild Re9ions Have
for Some Men.
1t was nearing midnight when we en-
tered Phoenix, Ariz. Price directed the
way to a corral where he was known.
and where we left the animals feasting
on fresh alfalfa, while we Jared forth to
see his friends. 1t was precisely as
though Price had invited me around to
his club. He led the way to a saloon.
and as we entered it saw at once its
typical character. At the left Of the en-
trance was a bar, gorgeous with mir
rors and cut glass, while down the deep
recesses Of the room were faro and rou-
lette tables and tables for poker. The
groups about them were formed or
"cow punchers" and prospectors and
"Greasers" and Cinnamon, and even
Indians, all mingling and intermingling
with freedom that suggested that In
gambling there is a touch OF nature
that makes the whole world kin.
But more Immediately interesting to
us was a group which stood beside the
bar. 1t was made up, as l found, OF
politicians, high In Territorial office, all

man, proposed our joining him at sup

fully, because he, of all the group, mad
most attracted me. Tall and very hand
some, he had the bearing of gentle
man, and what he told me OF himself
confirmed my own impression of
richly varied past. Far into the night
we talked, and could well believe him
when lie said that the fascination of the
life which he had led on the frontier
had so far grown upon him that, while
he was glad to get back at times to his
former home in New York, he could no
longer remain contented there, hearing.
as he always did after few months at
most, the call back to the wild freedom
Of the plains. It was under the spell

experience as "burro puncher," that

At the Table.

The years have sped since first led
You to the table, dear.
And you sat over there alone
And I sat smiling here.
A year or two few past and You
No longer sat alone;
A little one was in your arms,
Your darling and my own.
And then another year or SO,
And some one else was there,
And Willie sat near me, you know,
While Trottle claimed your care.
The years have sped since first l led
You to the table dear.
And you looked queenly at the foot
And l felt kingly here.
To-day as look down at you.
On either side L see
A row of hungry little ones
All gazing up at me.
We've added leaves, one after one,
And you are far away
Ave, thrice as far, my dear, as on -
: That happy, happy day.
But though we sit so far. apart
You there and up here
Two rows of hearts from my fond heal
Stretch down to you, my dear.
Thank God for every extra leaf
The table holds today,
And may we never know the grief
or putting one away.
