Frank Stockton never could write a
successful poem. In this connection
the novelist frequently told good sto-
~ on himself. In his youth in con-
junction with his brother John he
wrote many poems with which he af-
fiicted the editors of various Canadian
periodicals. The illusions always
came back. The editor of one maya
zine was an especial target of the
Stocktons, but as none of their poems
was ever accepted the brothers came
to the conclusion that the editor had
no conception of good poetry.
To prove their belief they hunted up
and dispatched to him an ode, little
known, by Milton Within two days
they received a check and a letter of
thanks. 81 came to the conclusion that
that editor knew. poetry when he saw
it after ALL" Mr.. Stockton used to say.
'and gave up trying to write it"-Phil.

THE OLD TIME DERBY.

And How 1t Differs From the Meet of
These Rushing Days.
1t is strange, indeed, to look back up
on the manners and customs of the rae
ing world in the year of the first Derby
and contrast them with the new meth
DDS. In 1880 there was the journey
down to the little Surrey town, and
coachman thought himself lucky If he
could force his way from Westminster
to EPSON in twelve or fourteen hours
without dislodging a wheel en- route.
None but the richest class could afford
to drive there at all, for those were
days when tradesmen thought, like
John Gilpin, an outing once in two
years as much as they could afford.
In those days, too, visit to Epson
meant making a week Of it. Lodgings
had to be taken in the town by those
who were not fortunate enough to be
invited to share the hospitality of some
local magnate. Racing began about II
a. m. and after witnessing one or two
heats the company would retire to the
town to dine, returning later to witness
the conclusion of the sport
Nowadays the man of fashion for the
most part elects to travel to and fro
by rail. He gets his Derby, as It were,
while he waits. 1t is quite possible for
him to partake of an early luncheon in
Pail Mall, witness the great race with
out acquiring a wrinkle in his collar or
disturbing the nap of his box hat and

Too many trees prevent rapid growth

Grapeyines like their roots to be near

"Time was" says the London Chron-
icle, when men wore their hats in
church, and Pepys evidently consid-
cred it an unnecessary piece of strict
ness to insist on the bare head in
church. In his diary for Nov. II, 1861,
he has the entry, TO church and heard
a simple fellow upon the praise of
church musique and exclaiming against
mems wearing their hats on in church.
ION Sept. % following he went to
the French church at the Savoy,
where the minister do preach with his
hat off, suppose in further conformity
with our church.
Probably it was about this date
that the custom of removing hats in
the church began"

Woman is often referred to by man as
doubling his joys and having his sor
rows" That may be complimentary but
1t would seem to be rather hard on the
woman. For in plain terms it means that
where things are going well with the man
his wife makes them go better But when
things are going i'll with him, he expects
the wife to share half his burden And
there's more truth than poetry in this pre-
sentation of masculine selfishness. Men
don't appreciate the fact that the strain of
motherhood alone is burden bigger than
all the loads that rest upon male shoulders.
They see the wife grow thin, pale, nervous
and worn without thought that she is
over burdened. Among the pleasant let
tiers received by DR.. Pierce are those from
husbands who have walked up before it
was too late to the crushing burdens laid
upon the wife, and in the search for help
have found in DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription a restorative which has given back
to the mother the health of the maiden
and the maiden's happiness. "Favorite
! Prescription" always helps, and almost
always cures 1t has perfectly cured
ninety eight out of every hundred women
who have used it when afflicted with dis
eases peculiar to women.
