GETTING AWAY, FROM HOME
The Spirit of ReAtieEsness anG thr
Desire For Change.

The Spirit of ReAtieEsness anG fhc
Desire For Change.
Judging by good deal of the con-
yersation of the present day, there are
a large number of people who have a
positive horror of home. This curious
revulsion of feeling is taken by many
persons as a sign of social deteriora-
tion. For our own part we find II diff
cult to take 1t quite seriously or to see
in It anything more than passing
whim.
Nobody nowadays likes monotony
Change is what people desire--not per-
haps any great change, but lots of
small change; not necessarily for the
better, but for It's own sake. Now,
there Is a great sameness about ones
own four walls, be they ever so.hand-
some. we all feel at times an overpow-
ering desire to look at something else.
We cannot change the patterns or the
pictures on them every day, and neither
to alter in. expression.
Again, There is terrible sameness
about ones own cook. Experience ena-
bles us to foretell the taste of every
thing at home, from the soup to the sa-
worry. IL we are rich and from the NUT
ton to the cheese II We are poor;
whereas IL we dine at restaurant
everything down TO the salt is differ
ent, and the restaurant is refurnished
dailywith new faces.
Then, again, the music and stir going
on around one avoid the necessity, for
much conversation. and conversation
In the home circle is sometimes ditil.
cult and sometimes dull. 1t does not do
always just to say what one thinks. 1t
Is such. bad practice for ldining out,
and. this being the case. 1t is not easy
sometimes to think what to say.
Nowadays we get, socially, speaking,
tired Of our friends and even of!our ac-
quaintances. We want them to pass
continually before us like n street pro-
cession. Instead Of that they rather
resemble u stage crowd and keep'com.
ing up again. There Is limit TO those
we know, limit even to those 1--WE
should like or should be likely to know
even by sight, and at a restaurant this
latter limit is disregarded. The barrier
of good manners which forbids that
those who are acqueintedswith one an
other should speak Is sufficient to pro,
tect our station or our dignity but y
is not a very high fence, and 1t Is one
which 1t Is amusing to look over.-Lon-
don Spectator.

All things earthly end, even an hour
of waiting upon an ungrateful brides
caprice. When the clock marked FIVE
minutes past L. Garcia stood exactly
In the middle of the big square parlor,
feeling herself the target of all eyes.
She looked taller more slender, more
wraithlike than ever Though her hand
lay on the brldegroom's Ii was In suf-
ferance only. She did not even steady
herself by the mass of his wholesome
bulk. He was very red his vacuous
moon face beaded, his big hands bulg
ing over the tops of his new white
gloves. Garcia had not spol@n to him.
She had met him just outside the par
lor door. He had sense of sinking
or wanting 10 run away, If the truth
must be told, to cry as he had cried in
the times of boylsh fights. Invariably
he lost the fights and somehow felt
that he wns likewise to lose this.
The minister was speaking. His
words fell meaningless upon poor
Johnson's ears. Garcia was tensely
alert She held her head high and
kept her eyes fast upon the door AS
the minister began to say, "If any can
show cause why these two may not
be lawfully Joined together, let him
speak now or forever hereafter hold
his peace" she drew hard breath.
"I object" Jack Harrison cried. dart
ing through the door. "The lady is al
ready my WIFE," he added thrusting
folded paper into the minister's hand.
Aunt Sarah struck 1t down, crying con-
temptuously you liel Until today
Garcia has not been outside her room
since ordered you Off the placer
jack turned TO face her with Garcia
In his arms, limp enough now and
trembling all over. Il came back

ming rod beside the end window of Ca
rola's prison. / climbed 1t, held her
hand-the good man on the ground did
the rest. l might have come next day
and legally demanded my wife. 1t
was her whim to wait-and spoil your
triumph"
Johnson had been listening like
man In a dream. Slowly his face
frightened. With wildly joyous
whoop he gathered Jack and Garola In
his arms, huggcd them breathless and
as he released them cried: "Jack, you
always were good fellow. Suppose
you help me to get married anyway.
I'll give you $500 cash IL you'll per-
suade Peggy McMann to have me, right
hero and now"
"Fll take TINT job for nothing" ca
rola said, running TO the blushing Peg
gy How she managed 1t nobody quite
understood. but three hours later, just
rs soon as messenger had brought O
new license from the county town,
there was wedding with no objection
not even from Aunt Sarah-and the
| brides name was Peggy.

There was further exchange of

How often we hear parents discour-
age the boys who wish to stay on the
farml They refer to farm work as
drudgery and that which tends to make
them slaves to work rather than inde-
pendent men. The biggest boys are
educated for professional men and in
many instances excel, but the vast ma
1ority of these. with a good practical
education such as can be gained In our
schools of agriculture, would become
wealthy. progressive farmers, with iino
farms and beautiful homes. IL they had
been encouraged and advised to stay
by the old farm and make It success.

HERE'S A QUEER THING.
Thr "MorninE Hour" in the senate
Begins AT Noon aud Lasts
About TNy - Hours.

The morning hour" is one of the
queer things of the United states
senate In the first place the morn
ing hour" is two hours long, though
it may be completed in ten or Is
minutes, In the second place, says
the Washington Star, it never oc-
ours in the morning, but begins at
II o'clock noon, except on the rare
occasions when the senate meets at
10 or fl o'clock. Senator lloar, of
Massachusetts, is responsible for the
clongation Of the morning hour SO rs
TO make il cover 120 minutes Prior
to IA years ago the morning hour,
while existing in the afternoon, was
but an hour in length, but rcsolu-
ton submitted by Mr. Hoar was
adopted August 10, 1858, and that
provided that the morning hour
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1902-04-03

should be two hours in length or that
it should end ut two o'clock. This
resolution provided that after to-
day, unless otherwise ordered, the
morning hour shall terminate at the
expiration of two hours after the
meeting of the senate" The morning
hour is devoted to the presentation
Of petitions, the introduction OF bills,
reports of committees, etc, and Is
the time when al sorts of little mat
ters of that kind are attended to, At
two o'clock the presiding officer lays
before the senate the bill on the cal
endar, which is set aside as having
precedence over other measures, ana
that is generally the time for long
speeches of all kinds unless unanl-
nous consent is secured to consider
pension bills for a specified time or
unobiectcd bills on the calendar

THE kiNGLY KING.

Richard the king, the Lion Heart
Lay faint and scant of breath
Bertram de Ciordons was the shaft
That did HIM to his death@
They brought the boy to meet his doom
Before the dying king
Against the mail of angry men
He heard the daggers ring.
Yours was the hand that strung the
bow,
Yours that the arrow sent
Say said the king, has chance the
wrong,
Or was it-death-you meant?"
Death cried the boy Il meant his
Who laid my kindred low,
Tyrant, who filled my life with loss,
Who fills the world with woe!"
The Lion Heart with dying eyes
Surveyed the tall, dark lad,
Whose blood went singing through his
veins
With hate and daring glad
Then, where a mighty spear held back
The curtain Of the tent
Into the deeps of far blue sky
Slowly the kings gaze went.
Perhaps he thought though king, how
soon
He might need mercy, too
Perhaps what best became a king
Full royalty to do.
Like rains distilling hack TO heaven
He felt his moments waste,
And marked among his men-at-arms
Strs ominous of haste.
His proud glance lowered to the boy
Who all his power Gefied--
Col forgive your! said the king,
The Lion Heart, and died.
