ROSARY OF A RAMBLER


College men Of assured incomes and
business men, who for years at least,
have lived beyond all doubts as to the
meals of a year ahead. let alone OF the
next day, have Wed with each other
for months past, in laying down plans
whereby those less fortunate than
themselves can live on a small fraction
of what is generally supposed to be
absolutely necessary for the plainest of
decent living. The competition has
been strenuous enough to suit the
apostle of strenuosity himself, the first
lady of the land even taking part in the
general giving of free advice, by telling
what she considered amply suftlclent
for the expenditure annually upon
lady's wardrobe. Much OF this same
advice has been far funnier than the
Joke columns of the daily papers. Inc
observations that the promoters OF
these schemes would make, If they tried
for a time to live up to their theories,
would be still funnier. But such obser-
yations would probably never be made.
for most men, and women, too, are
more than willing to keep still when
their theories are proved to be nothing
but theoretical. Whether President
Harner would care to undertake to
support himself and wife on s12 week,
and whether Mrs. Roosevelt would care
to be limited to $25 month for pin
money ana clothes are matters we do
moi need to consider. II would not be
fair to them, and to the many who have
nut themselves in their class as advice
givers, to try them by such test.
They have not said they would do so,
only that it could be done. There is
something to be considered about these
schemes, however. A noted worker
along charitable lines has said that the
PRONUNCIATION of such ideas does pos
tive harm to the life industrial. in that
unscrupulous employers. who hire
much so-called cheap" help, feel sat-
isfled that they are paying living
wages, when they may be paying just
enough to keep body and soul together.

Disease Spread by Pencils.

Boston, Jan. 1.-The board of health
having traced diphtheria to the habit OF
children of putting lead pencil points
into their mouths, has taken steps 70
stop this source of contagion in the
Boston schools. 1t has been the custom
for pupils to drop their pencils into a
box upon leaving school for the day,
and in the morning pick out one for
the days use. Hereafter each will have
his or her own pencil and be required
to use none other. The health officers
say there will be an immediate lessen
ing of such diseases as diphtneria
mumps and measles.

The Farm.

There spread the scene before my view.
The careless plowman's yell,
The happy laughter In his eyes
That told that all was we'll.
And far away heard the sound
OF sweet toned dinner bell.

The youngster at the oars.
The chicken In the barnyard. and
Along the rivers shores
The calm horizon showed line
or noble sycan.ores.
The old moss covered well was there
With buckets dripping sweet.
And sparkling water seemed to give
Surcease from summers heat,
And right below a cclntry town
Seemed sleeping az my feet.

The quaint old village sage.
And rows of elm trees must have hid
The village parsonage.

The realistic stage!

shoulder. She had a surgeon get it
back in place as soon as possible, but

The Frog Came Sack.

Nearly every living thing has
local habitat tion and abiding place
which it regards as home Even frogs
have an attachment for particular
places in which to spend their leisure
hours. About three years ago a
Pennsylvania farmer named Anderson
found large frog in front Of the
.pring-houIe, and when the milk
maid opened the door to put her pail
of milk in the spring the frog hoped
in behind her.
Goodness" said the maid, "but
you are big fellow"
1t was big fellow. From bis nose
to the ends of his extended legs the
frog measured Is inches. 1t hoped

partially buried it.elf in a bed Of clay
in the darkest corner Of the spring
house. There, in stupor, neither
eating nor drinking, it remained until
the spring. Then it departed.
Each autumn since then the frog
has az peared at the fret sign of frost
and made his winter bed in the spring
house. This year he csns as usual.
But the farmer desired 10 make an sI-
pertinent on him. He was awakened,
lifted from his warm clay nest, placed
in wagon and carried mile TO

Broomfeld has declared that sitting
out waltz is now more fashionable

ing you sit instead Of dance. The
mans right arm is around the girls
waist, while his left hand holds her
right. Her left hand is placed upon
his shoulder, while her head rests low
ingly on his manly "buzzum, and all
they have to do is TO sit and listen to
the music. Now, that is something
ike it. We have always regarded 1t
a nuisance to have to gallop mile or
two in order to get good hug. A
room full of people, sitting around on
sofas, hugglng to music, is more gratl-
flying. This will give the old rheu-
matte brethren another chance TO
waltz. Most men waltz, not for the
dance, but for the position, and while
a man may lose hi, appetite for dane

fore he loses his appetite for hugglng

"Stonewan" Jackson.

"Like stonewall see Jackson stand,
Thus spoke the gallant Lee,
When the brave troops of his command
Were forced by foes to flee.
And thus our hero won that name
To Southern hearts so dear,
Which, written on the roll of fame,
Shines forth so bright and clear.
Throughout our sunny Southern land
His names household word;
Ages to come his fame shall stand,
His praises still be heard.
Virginians tell their noble sons
"Old Stonewal's" gallant featS;
Each father to his little ones
Jackson's great name repeats.
The heroes of his own brigade
His deeds of prowesS sing;
A foreigner his tribute paid
A splendid offering.
Noted for strategy and skill
In leading armies forth;
His name our hearts with Joy would fu,
Twas dread at the North.
Stonewall was patriot true,
A man though stern, yet kind;
A warrior brave, a Christian, too.
These traits in him we fiud.
Poets their songs as homage pay,
His brilliant name to laud,
History shall his deeds portray
And spread his fame abroad.
Wen honor give our sleeping brave,
Who for his country bled;
Bright garlands wreathe to deck the
grave
OF our illustrious dead.
