Nothing to ENnr.

From Medford IN. j., says the
Philadelphia Times, comes a tale Of
a travelling minister of some repute
as an orator whose fortune 1t was to
have his sermon interrupted by cries
of Fire! Fire!" in the streets and
the rush of the local band of volun-
teer laddies. The congregation be-
came excited, but the minister leaned
forward, asked that all remain seat
ed, requested one of the deacons to
step outside and see If there was any
danger, and then, by a skillful transit
ton, merged what he had been say
ing into a talk on hell-fire saying
that the common or garden brand was
as nothing compared to what should
be met within the bottomless lake.
Evidently he had some deep convic-
tions on the subject, and had sue
ceeded in becoming really terrifying.
There is no fire like this of which
l speak, he declared. 1T is a fire
whose blaze"
False alarm!'' reassuringly sung
out the deacon, who had returned to
report.

Every old railroad man knows that
engines have spells, just as human be-
ings have" said a retired engineer, ae-
cording to the New York Sun. when
they begin to work queer you've got
to humor 'eni. just like they were ba-
bies.
Then, you know. one man can take
an engine with bad reputation, and
make her do her work the way no other
man could. oh, engines is very much
like people.
They get set in their ways. too,
sometimes; get accustomed to doing
things in certain ways, you know; and
it's awful hard to get EN- out O. the
ruts Now take them over on the w.
and L.-'Winding and Long, some
chap called the road, and it's a good
name.
"The old chap that laid the road out
started to draw a line between the two
terminuses, but his hand shook, an
the line he made looked like a cable
message before it's been translated; but
the old fellow insisted 1t was the way
he wanted it, and the road followed
the joggles in the line.
why, say! Sometimes the track
-
from both sides at once! A mans got
to have sealegs before he enjoys rid
in on that road.
''Well, they've had some good rollin'
stock on that road, and now they've
got new blood in the management an
are goin' to make things better'n be-
fore. First off, they Strengthened some
o the kinks in the track: an it's just
here that want to tell you about en-
gines getting set in their ways.
"a friend O. mine took out his regular
train the first day after a particularly
crooked bit O. track had been straight
ened-a good engine, without no ideas
of her own-leastwise, she'd never
shown none. She went all right
through the big cut an come to where
the Strengthening began.
"Blest If that locomotive didn't jump
the track-the new track-just where
the first of the old double reverse
curves had begun! Luckily, though
they'd taken the track up, they hadn't
interfered with the roadbed; and that
engine followed the old bed without
a pause, took the curve-'twas like two
SIS one atop tn other-overtook the
last car of her own train on the grade,
an pushed herself up an over, till she
struck the track again in the proper
place.
Course, that was all right for once:
but they couldn't leave the old road
bed there forever. an they had lots O.
trouble with that machine, an with 81
good many other o. the older engines,
before they could teach em not to take
the old curves they'd been accustomed
to all their lives You see, they had
got into the habit O. curving, an they
just couldn't catch on to dom things
straight away
My friend took his old engine out
one holiday an just coaxed her over
the straight places till she seen they
was proper; an ever since then she's
been the best machine on the road,
though once'n while, he tells me,
she'll sort of -mindedly turn her
head toward some place where there
was curve, an he'll have to spur her
a little to recall her to herself.
"Oh, these engines are creatures of
habit, l tell youl''

The Poem OF Coronation.

Kingship and Empire, throned on
peaceful power;
Since to be weak is to endure the

Kingship symbolic of a Peoples will,
Themselves b6rn kingly, Sovrans OF

And, like the sea, let whatso tempests
shrill,
One worldwide, feared and free;
For tits not Crown nor Sceptre men
revere,
But the majestic mind and-regal soul.
That amid cleashing clamors serve to
steer
Realm upto 1t goal;
Kings, who than wise counselors vet
more wise,
Because of the calm hight wherefrom
they scan
The orbit OF their Empire. can surmise
Gods destiny for man;
Who honor worth and genius, and
Their Kingliness with nothing base
or mean,
And, at their side, one tender souled
as fair
A woman and a Queen;
Whom, themselves simple, splendid for
the state,
And steadfast as the star though sea-
sons yeer.
Priesthood can bless. and poets cele-
brate
With conscience clean and clear;

IMPROVE THE SCHOOL GROUNDS.

We commented the other day on the
movement among the village and rural
schools in New York state towards the
school house grounds, and expressed
the wish that similar movement
would spring up in Georgia. Conditions
in this state are really more favora-
BILE to such improvement than they
are in New York, since we have longer
summers and shorter winters, and our
native shrubs, trees and flowers are
much richer in foliage and coloring
than those of higher latitude. And
the cost would be very little. relatively
speaking. The children would become
eager gardeners. They would will
ingly do about all of the work needed.
Parents would supply seeds, plants and
bulbs gratis, and there would be no
trouble about getting the few tools and
the little fertilizer that would be re-
quired. Thus in a very short time
bare and unattractive school yard could
be made little beauty spot.
We have been gratified to receive
from Mr.. Alfred V. Ward of Bruins
wick, president Of the Board of Edu-
cation of Glynn county, a letter COM
mending the idea and promising his CO.
operation in the furtherance OF the
scheme. 'There is no one thing which
the schools need more at this time"
writes Mr.. Ward, than the implant-
ing in the breast of each pupil the de-
sire to be part and parcel of some.
plan for Frightening the school sur
roundings by the judicious planting of
trees, shrubs, grass or Towering plants.
In the public schools here (Brunswick)
we have this year inaugurated a plan
on this line, organizing the children
into societies for the care and supervis-
ion of grounds, and the results have
been gratifying, for already the grounds
have assumed a cheerfulness which had
been foreign to them for many years
Mr.. Ward further says that he is sure
the initiative in the matter of beautify-
ing school grounds will be shortly felt
throughout the state.
We congratulate the Brunswick
schools upon the start they have made,
and predict that the time is not far dis
tant when the school grounds of that
city will be a matter of pleasure and
pride to every school patron and resi-
dent, as well as to every little garden
er and caretaker. Love of the beauti-
full is an Unborn characteristic of every
child. TO surround the school room
with beautiful grass, trees and flowers
is to encourage that natural artistic
sense of the young people. To make
them feel a proprietary pride in the i'm
provements, to let them see the results
of their little labors in foliage and
flowers, can but stimulate their inter-
est not only in the grounds but in the
schools themselves. 1t was wise man
who declared that gardening was the
most innocent of all recreations. 1t is
also source of pleasure and instruc-
ton. We sincerely hope the day is not
far distant when practically every
school house in Georgia, where condi-
lions viii permit, will have it's little
park and garden, with walks, trees,
grass. roses, arbor-vita, honey -suckles
and the like, TO smile a welcome TO the
visitors and cheer the children and
teachers in their iabors.
