THE SOWERs

IuL OO OVLNCs
Maidens so happy and merry,
Singing glad songs all the day,
Sowing the grain in the Springtime,
Raking the pebbles away.
Brightly we laugh as we labor,
Working away with a will,
Chatting each one with her ncighbOr,
Working and frollicking still.
Winter Is over, SO hasten
Sewers TO scatter the grain,
Rake up the earth and prepare it,
Make it all ready for rain.
Warmly the sun it is shining,
Bringing the summer so near,
Work and ne'er dream Of repining,
Soon will the flowers appear.
Come now the planting Is over,
Water the seeds in the ground,
Watch them and care for them ever,
Days, weeks and months rolling round.
Soon will the green blades be peeping
Up from the warm, mellow soil,
Soon will our brothers be reaping
The harvest, the end Of our toll.

But taking all these things into con-

a pretty wise member and that he at
least knows what is good for him
when he is confronted by the blunt is
sue Of surviving or not surviving. Why
is 1t that fish always founders to-
ward the water? That's the point l
have in mind, and it is the one fact
above all others that has convinced
me that the fish has more sense than
we think. / have never seen a fish
that would not founder toward the
water.
II know two answers will be made
to this suggestion. One is that there
Is generally slope toward the water,
and that hence the force of gravity
determines the direction of the fish's
movement. And the other is a pri-
mary reason-the matter of instinct,

explanations do not satisfy me. In
the first place, I reject the theory
which makes difference between in.
stinct and reason. 1 cannot tell the
difference between the attributes, so
much are they alike. In the second
place, want to tell you that I have
seen fish f1oundering up hill. Why?
Simply because they were forced to
founder up hill in order to get back
into the water. Does fish know any
thing about direction and distance? L
think 80. 1 have seen them jump and
founder up hill, inch after inch, until
they got back to the edge of the
stream out Of which they had been
jerked. 1t may be what some of the
writers call instinct but to save my
soul I can't tell instinct from what
we are accustomed to regard as reason
in higher forms of life."-New Orleans

The oldest Daughter of the Rev olu-

son, of Dover, Mass, formerly Of Rox-
bury. Mrs. Anderson was born in 1908,
and is one of the five members Of the
society living whose fathers fought In
the revolution. Mrs. Anderson remem-
bers the stirring times Of 1912, al
though but years of age at the
time. The events were calculated to
leave an impression in her childish
mind. She relates stories of ali the
great battles Of the revolution as they
were told her by participants. She
remembers her father and grandfather
as they left home to join the continen-
tai troops that forced the British out
of Boston. Mrs. Anderson is proud of
her ancestors. Her father was Edward

RecoCnized His Portrait.

Miss Fanny, who had just taken hold
of a room in an East Side school, says
the New York Times, had been having
short talks with her children on sub
jects which she thought would be at
once interesting and instructive.
One morning she told them about the
"three Kingdoms" the mineral, the
vegetable and the animal, and explain
ed as simply as she could the meaning
Of each. Then, naming a number of
objects, she let the children tell to
which kingdom each belonged. They
greatly enjoyed the exercise.
The next morning the talk was along
the lines of simple natural history.
Now, children" she said, "let us
see what you remember about the ami
NAL kingdom and the domestic animals
that belong to it. You have named
all the domestic animals but one. Who
can tell me what that one is? 1t has
bristly hair, likes dirt. and is fond of
getting into the mud"
Miss Fanny looked expectantly
around the room. Cant you think,
Tommy she asked encouragingly.
"Yes'm." was the shamefaced reply.

A CurIOus Case.

A horse belonging to Missouri man
got lump on it's jaw three years ago.
Its owner had veterinary surgeon
operate on the animal the other day
and he took out hard, smooth sub
stance about four inches long and an
inch wide, resembling white stone.
Those who have examined 1t say 1t is
petrified corncob. The commonly ac-
cepted theory is that the horse, while
eating, got cob caught in its mouth,
which slowly worked It's way into his
jaw until it lodged just beneath the
skin. The animal never seemed to
suffer from its presence.-New York
Tribune.

The Baroness de Bazus, more ia
mi,iarly known to the general public
os Mrs, Frank Leslie, is home from
Europe and tells some interesting
things about the smart set" of Lon
don. She expresses decided disap-
nroyal of many Of the features now
axisting in English society. Plutoc-
racy, she asserts, is the only recog-
nized aristocracy Of England. The
marriage game is played on a strictly
financial basis, and settlements are
talked about long before the betrothal
of Young persons for whose benefit the
alliance is planned. American women
who find it impossible to enter society
in New York can obtain easy access

possess the necessary capital with
which to lay siege to British royalty

The title of Baroness de Bazus,
which Mrs. Leslie says she has adopt
ed for business reasons when she did
not desire her name to appear before
the public, is an hereditary one. Ba-
ron de Bazus was an ancestor of hers
who came to this country to avoid the
persecution of the Huguenots.
