Short story |
Of the DAY |
A KITCHEN ROMANCE.

Plug-the name had usurped and
smQthered any other which might have
been more rightfully his in the for
gotten days-was filling the wood-box.
slouching over it and dropping down
the sticks one by one. He was in no
hurry, for that was not his way; and
moreover. he was just now afraid to
face the kitchen jeers, which some
way he felt were blunted and rendered
Intellectual by striking his back.
But when the last stick had been
dropped into the box, and he had
stood gazing at it for fully three min
utes, there seemed nothing for him
but to recross the wide kitchen to the
asylum of the outside door, which
now seemed long way off. This he
did with burning, downcast face and
more diffident shuttle than usual

There was a sudden crash at the
sink. and girl with round. red face
and square figure swung toward the
room with flashing eyes, In one hand
was the remnant of the plate just
broken, in the other dripping dish
cloth.

Plug cast a wavering. longing

long, ecstatic breath at the thought.
IF Bet could feel to-to-will We,

The girl hesitated but an instant.
Then something-perhaps it was the
entreaty in Plugs eyes, perhaps the
sneer on Carrots face-made her step
forward quickly and hold out her
hand.

said steadily. "an' glad to. You're

But his words were lost in the rat

the sink, her dish cloth again in

CROWNED IN A sNoWSTo9M.
Coronations That Lacked Kings
Weather"

Weather"
Lacking the presence of that inn
portant guest, the sun, a coronation
ceremony is robbed of much of its
brilliance, but many English monarchs
have been compelled to go to their
crownings when Kings weather was
conspicuous by it's absence.
One of the most unfortunate sover-
eigns in this respect was Elizabeth,
whose coronation was fixed for the
18th of January, 1853 The supersti-
tious Queen had repeatedly urged
that the day should be changed on &C
count of it's dnlucky number, but as
DIR. Dee, the famous astrologer, fore
BODIED good fortune for it she was
overruled. The weather was bitterly
cold, and just as the procession start

but curing the amounting the historic
pile shook to such an extent that
Archbishop Laud is said to have
paused in his work and trembled from
very fear. The shock lasted two min

terrific gale was blowing when
James ii went to his browning. it
having set in some days previously
and occasioned many wrecks along
the coast and much loss of life. The
boisterous wind rent the flag flying
from the White Tower in twain. and
the canopy which the Barons of the
Cinque Ports carried met with a
similar fate. Again, at the coronation
OF William III and Mary the wind was
sufficiently violent to blow in one OF
the small upper windows of the Abb
hey just after the royal party had
left and all flags flying from the
neighboring churches were torn to
shreds.
A hailstorm greeted George III when
he left the Abbey at the conclusion of
the coronation ceremony, and so
large were the stones that the soldiers
horses, dashed to fury, became almost
uncomfortable and pranced among the
spectators who lined the route. His
successor, on the contrary, was fay
ored with tropical weather, and doz-
ents of soldiers tainted at their
posts. while even the king himself
was found in the robing chamber

WHAT WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

WHAT WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
Have not we all, amid earth's petty
strife,
Some pure ideal of nobler life
That once seemed possible? Did we
not hear
The fiutter of its wings, and feel il
near,
And just within our reach? 1t was!
and yet
we lost it in this daily jar and fret,
And now live idly in vague regret
But still our place is kept, and it will
wait
Ready for us to fill it, soon or late
No star is ever lost we once have
seen;
We always may be what we might
have been!
Since good, the only thought, has life
and breath
Gods life-can always be redeemed
from death,
And evil, in It's nature, is decay,
And any hour can blot it all away:
The hopes that lost in some far dis
lance seem
May be the truer life-and this the
dream.

Old Books.

The first book printed in the United
States was an almanac published at
Cambridge in 1889 by Stephen Dave.
who established the first printing
press in this country. The second
publication was a slip containing
poem, entitled The Freeman's Oath.
The next book was metrical version
OF the psalms, known as the Bay
Psalm Book, in 1910. Copies of the
latter are now very rare. 1t is one
of the most valuable books in the

POWERFUL NEWSPAPERS IN JAPAN
Editors Rise to Important Position In
FIoWery EmpIre.

Editors Rise to Important Position In
F1owery Empire.
When Marquis Ito formed his last
cabinet Mr.. Hara, editor of the Osaka
Mainichi, became minister of COM
munications and filled the important
post with great credit. In Toxic we
have several papers of great political
power, which are edited by men of
the highest standing in society. Mr.
chi, is member of the house of rep
resentatives, and known throughout
the empire as one of our best writer's
and thinkers. He is one of the few
Japanese editors who have embraced
the Christian religion. Mr.. Tokutomi,
of the Kokumin, held a most import
ant post for a number of years in the
home Office. Mr.. Asahina, of the
Nichi Nichi, is our great Russian
scholar and in close touch with the
government. He is now travelling in
that country for the purpose of study
ing the industrial situation.
Greatest of all Japanese editors,
died last year. He was the DR.. Ar
mold of Japan. the great educator.
No man has done more than he did
to advance civilization there. His
second son has succeeded him in the
direction of the Jill Shimpo, which
has a large circulation in financial
circles. The Japanese newspaper
editor can say almost anything he
pleases in his columns to-day, taking
care, of course, not to print libelous
matter. Ten years ago the govern
ment censorship of the press was
abolished and few have been in tror
BILE with the government since that
step was taken. Our people place
even more trust in newspaper state
ments than do Americans, which is a
factor in the great power of the Japs
nese press.

Chances for Irrigation BiIl.

Washington, May 29.-President
Roosevelt is showing lively interest in
the status of the irrigation bill which
has passed the senate and has been re-
ported to the house with certain
amendments. The president has asked
a number of members of congress as
to the prospects for the early consid-
GRAFTON of the measure and has indi-
Gated his earnest desire that the bill
become law this session of congress.
A thorough poll is being made of the
house by friends of this irrigation
measure and enough is known of the
results to warrant the statement that
there is a considerable majority in
favor of the bill. Speaker Henderson
and the committee on rules have
agreed that the bill shall be given full
and fair consideration on the floor of
the house at this session, and it is
thought that it may come up for dis
cuSsioQ on or about June /.

H. B. Hersey, Director Kentucky
Weather Bureau: Since the recent ad-
vance in the price Of wheat, this crop
has become a favorite with Kentucky
farmers and the acreage sown has
steadily increased. With this increas-
ing acreage, there has been a grow
ing abundance of the Hessian fly. Last
years sowing suffered especially, ow-
ing to a prolonged period of mild
weather at the time of planting.
Probably very little of what was sown
in some localities escaped injury.
This injury suffered by late-sown
wheat has led some farmers to become
skeptical as to the advantage resulting
from late planting. The skepticism is
unwarranted by the facts, when all
are known and considered. 1t is we'll
enough understood here that when
cold weather comes, and especially
after a few very heavy frosts, the
adult mosquitoes that frequent dwell
ings disappear. The Hessian fly is a
very similar insect 1t is somewhat
smaller, but has the same general
form, long and slender legs, etc. AS
an adult, it does not endure cold any
better than a mosquito, and the fact
explains why delaying planting as
long as practicable results in less in
jury to wheat The adult Hessian flies
have simply placed their eggs on other
wheat and have persisted before the
late planted wheat came up.
