Above the yellow grass blades here
And thrice the birds have sung anc
flown
And thrice the leaves, all brown anC

Have drifted swiftly, gently down.
While I to win the praise of men,
Have labored in the busy town
Forge ting now and then.
Forgetting? Nay, ! have but tried
To laugh the ready tears away;
With but an outward show of pride
l still have mourned from day tc

And left the busy market place
At night, to sit apart, alone,
And, dreaming feel little face
Pressed softly to my own.
Thrice now the wintry winds have

Above my darling, sleeping here,
And l, unseen, today have wcpt
Out many Il long, long treasured

New flowers of hope have bloomesl

Oh. I'll be glad in doing well.

Jones Makes Peace with Hart

Quite lder "DaNy Jones, last sea
son with Rockford and Milwaukee
and winter player on both the Chi
cago National and st. Louis American
league ball clubs. has been in Chica-
go calling at the headquarters of
both leagues. Later the versatile
contract signer left for West Baden,
where be will join McAleer's Browns
i'm their spring training. Jones says
that he will play with the st. Louis
team this season, and will undoubted-
ly do 50 if he * able to make good
there and does not change his mind.
In ii private conference with Presi-
dent Hart. Jones returned the 500
advance money which he received for
signing with the Orphans and receiv-
ed i'm exchange the note which he
had given tn Hart for the amount.
Jones tried to get back the contract
which he gave Hart, but the latter
refused to give this up. Jones holds
that he is bound by the st. Louis con-
tract on account of his early agree
ment with the Milwaukee manage
ment and the claim that President
Hart gave him permission to jump
his Orphan contract provided that ST.
Louis would take him ON. He says
he will stick to st. Louis this season.
Hart of course holds different views
of the Jones deal, but apparently
will now make no further effort to
hold the player.-Rockford Register

HIRAM A. HUSE.

The death Of Hiram A. Huse of Mont
pelier suggests the thought that no man
of virile qualities dies without leaving
the memory Of characteristics which may
profitably be recalled to mind for in
struction and imitation. Never perhaps
since the genial light of the life of the
late Dugald Stewart went out have so
many individual hearts in Vermont
been lost for the time in the shadows of
death as when the cloud arose from the
wayside inn where our brother sought
temporary and found eternal rest. So
agreeable and kindly, and SO universal
was the radiation of his personality, and
80 much was he in touch with almost
everybody in all parts of the state that
men feel the loss more in common than
when only a locality in the state is in
volved. No struggling brother with
scanty library and limited knowledge of
where best to seek for the information
he required ever sought our friends aid
in vain. He was sure to be handed a
book or referred to sources of informa-
ton.
Mr.. Huse was by nature adapted to
the position of State Librarian. That
position kept him in touch with the
books and the most refreshing thoughts
OF the time, and with men all over New
England for whom he acted as interpre-
ter and guide. He extended his kindly
good Offices alike to all. He gave u all
who asked much time which he might
have coined. He wore his life away in
a large measure by following the in
ducements of his noble and generous ma
ture. The social essence of his thoughts
and impulses permeated his companion
ships and warmed and encouraged the
wide circle of his comradery,
