it into execution. You know the condi-

the stick on the left: If he attempted to

right; anG drove him to the end Of
the row, and in that manner | worked
my eight rows of peas. The ground was
thoroughly pulverized and the clods
around the roots nicely broken up, and
to-day | have pea vines seven feet tall,

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK ?

Did you ever stop to think
That the man who stops to think
Running out his mental tissue
On movement or an issue
While his progress is congested,
And his actions are arrested
BY the weight

Burning questions in his pate.
Never puts his dreams on canvas, never
puts his thoughts to ink.
Never alters laws or lands because
He merely stops to think?
Did you ever stop to ponder
That the man who stops to ponder
While the thread of Fate's unwindIns,
And the mills of God are grinding
And the men who rule the MOL
Do their thinking while they toll.
Mingling thought
AS they ought
With the wonders they have wrought
That the fellow who has stopped to do his
thinking over yonder
Doesn't aid in the act by the mere cold
fact
That he has stopped to ponder?
There's a call of Life to ponder.
There's a cry of Life to think,
But the striver over yonder
In the game of swim sink
Cannot stop for How or Why
Lest the swifter pass him by.
And the man who grasps the lever
Has no moments to rehearse
Idle thoughts. however clever,
When the signal comes. "Reverse"
But the grand shall command
When the brain has wed the hand
And the thinker shall be mighty and

Not the hermts of the Indies who from

But the men whose thoughts are NOV
They shall never stop to think.

CUTTING UP CITY HALL.
Indignation Meeting Might Be Called
 to Protest Against It.


 Last night dozen or more citizens were discussing the attitude of the de- partment of public works with refer ence to the cutting up of the City hall building and turning it into a police station and offices for public officials, when one remarked that he thought an indignation meeting should be called to protest against such action He thought it would be q serious mis- take and said he knew that Mayor Kilduff never would have allowed the board to make such a endat1on if he didn't feel sure that the board or finance would take no stock in It. There appears to be a feeling abroad that the department of public works and the safety board are wing with each other to see which will succeed in giving the incoming administration the largest amount of money. Many think that the new administration will want to spend money right and left, but others are of the opinion that those who are saying so don't know what they are talking about and hint that one aim of the Elton regime will be to inculcate economy in municipal affairs so far as such thing is con sistent with a due regard for public interests. Which shall it be?

WOman's Highest Sphere is
In Being the Companion

Domestic science is broader than
Shakespeare, deeper than Carlisle and
richer than the colors of Titian's
paintings" was the opening sentence
OF Miss Cardwell's lecture before the
Salem Womans Club at the Congre-
gational church Saturday. She dep
recated the waste Of time on topics
such as art, music, literature and the
drama. to the neglect Of the more sa.
cred interests Of the home. after we
have put our home life on the highest
plane, let us pay some attention TO the
other things-to the history Of Egypt
and Hindostan," said Miss Cardwell,
with a tinge of irony al the pet topics
of female clubs in general. She deftly
explained that economic science
meant, not only handling money with.
out waste, but saving Of time, energy,
strength and all the faculties so much
needed by women in this strenuous
age. Domestic science" Is not mere.
ly getting together and swapping re.
clpes." said the lecturer, with a CLEAN
OF humor Then she swiftly reviewed
such topics as the ground on which
the home Is built, construction Of
houses, plumbing. sanitation, carbon
io acid gas and ventilation Of rooms
drapery and mural decorations of In.
teriors.
She made a stirring plea for simpli.
fioation of woman's work, so that IL
would not pile up and get beyond her
strength. "Womans place Is at the
center OF the home-the vital. active
center. Without the wife and mother,
there is no home possible" At this
there was murmuring applause. and
there would have been more II men
had been present. She made an elo-
quent plea for conditions In the homo
that would enable the wife to be al.
ways sunny-tempered sweet and
pleasant, never cross or petulant with
the children, and for a division OF
time so that the wife can be a com.
panion for her children and her. hus.
