Thrifty squanderers.

When Napoleon entered Genoa in
1905, the rich physicians of the city ex-
erted themselves to gain the favor of
the conquror by all sorts of flattering
attentions. The most elaborate of
these was banquet patterned after
the famous one offered by Antony to
Cleopatra. The tables were set in an
artificial garden, floating on pontoons,
which were towed out to sea during
the progress of the feast At the con-
clusion of the banquet-again in imi-
tation of Anthony and Cleopatra
all the costly gold and silver plate was
flung into the sea. This little tribute
of honor to the emperor was not so ex.
pensive as it seemed, for the floating
garden was surrounded with nets and
the plate was subsequently recovered

Gypsy Virtue.

1t is reported that the Gypsy, as a
class, will resort to trickery, but as
for stealing-"What, indeed could we
do with most things if we did steal
them?' 1t was John David Lee who
put this question. He and his wife and
child were travelling alone whenI met
them. You see our wagon" he went
on; 1--WE travel as light as we can, and
every bit of space is taken up with nee
essaries. Where could we find room
for stolen goods?" The Gypsy is a
rover. but no vagrant, for he carries
with him always his home, his family,
his pride, and traditions of race, and
his Gypsy honor, and around his wagon
and tent belongings is drawn a magic
circle of content. AS for the Gypsy
woman. she is famed like the ideal of
Solomon of old. for virtue and devotion
to home and family.-R. T. Fletcher

CONVICT FARM A SUCCESS.
That Operated by Louisiana Authori-
ties Has Proved Profitable as
Well as Beneficial.

The experiments undertaken in
Louisiana some years ago of coloniz-
ing the less hardened criminals upon
farms has been attended by gratifying
results thus far, reports southern ex-
change. The state constitution adopt
ed in 1898 provided that after the ex-
piration of the leases then in force no
ronvicts should be hired out to private
contractors. The board of peniten-
tiary commissioners bought lands and
erected buildings for the housing of
those convicts who could be employed
outside the prison walls, and many of
the able-bodied prisoners were set to
work raising cotton, as we'll as corn
and other food crops, and caring for
cattle and hogs, all the results of their
labor to be applied to the support of
the penal institutions and their in
mates.
The legislature appropriated $780,
900 for the working out of the new
plan and the report of the first years
operations is now made public. From
the two plantations which were estab-
lished the total cash income for the
first year is $1sO,OOO. Besides this
ready money the board has several

RED HOUSE ON THE HILL.

When the light Is gently fading,
And the busy day is DER,
put down my work OF knitting,
And close the open door.
Ihen l take quiet journey
To the land of long ago.
Sec once more the dear old faces
OF the loved I used to know.
With what cheer they come to greet me,
In the twilight soft and STILL
AS reach the dear old homestead
Little red house on the hill!
Hand in hand we walk together
Up the path that windeth through
BEDS of blossoms, bright and fragrant,
Laden with the evening dew.
Here and there l stop to listen
70 some mother bird soft peep
rrom nest where little birdlings
Have not quieted to sleep
Nnd the tall trees nod their welcome.
As L pass across the sill
Z that home where love enfolds me
Little red house on the hill!
rom those windows facing eastward,
From those windows facing west
/ can see the pleasant valley,
See the mountains woody crest.
And across the fields in silence,
Pointing heavenward the spire
OF the old church where 1 used to
Sing soprano in the choir
There the brook winds through the meadow
On its journey to the mill.
D what beauty lies about thee
Little red house on the hill!
when the darkness softly deepens,
And the evening lights are lit,
return from the sweet visit,
Busily again l knit,
While the children with their prattle
Gather close about my chair,
knowing not that loving Grandma,
Has been far away some where.
IL he hro
Sweetest peace my heart doth fill.
When I've been to the old homestead
Little red house on the hill.

Mr.. Howells asking for few lines

was written: Il have at last found
time for subscribing myself Yours
