The Town OF Frown.

n you should happen 70 go some day
Anywhere near to the Town of Frowu,
Someone on guard, so the travellers say,
orders the windows and curtains down,
Ard at n sisral the streets are hare
Highway and byway and thoToughfsre.
For IL is said that the Town OF Frown
Hides many smiles in its dresry halls,
And a grim Waterman in sober gown
PAGES his round on the outer walls,
Waving intrudeIs to keep away,
Having but little beside TO say.
But We are told there's a way to win
Smiles from the dungeon Of Frown again.
One let the magic Of kindness in,
Kindness OF word, or OF deed, and then
Gates shall be opened and walls fall down,
Never to rise in the Town Of Frown.

A "BORN ENCOURAGER. -

"She was always so quiet and IN
obtrusive, who would dream that her
absence would leave such a gap in
every thing!" said young Endeav-
orer, of an older woman who had been
forced by a long siege of nervous
prostration to step from the ranks
for awhile.
81 know it." said another girl,
something seems to have snapped
since Miss Hutchins dropped out of
things. Now at the meeting l led
last night, you can't think how l
missed her. You know she always
came to everything on time, to begin
with, and sometimes when L felt a
little worried or nervous, I'd catch
her eye, and l never saw so much en-
couragement shining out from behind
any other spectacles."
"And then she was always filling in
gaps" said the first girl. 'If some
one stammered and got too much
embarrassed to make his point quite
clear, don't you know how often she'd
step in tactfully, and base her own
remarks on what he had evidently
meant to say? 1t always left him and
everybody else feeling that he had
spoken helpfully and suggestively,
after all. 1 remember once she did
something like that for me. l had
sat down feeling perfectly wretched
and as if 1 never could keep my
pledge to speak any more, but she
just braced me right up, and that's
the way she has been doing in every
thing"
eyes, old black Sally described her
just right when she called her a
born encourager'-that night when
she was washing up the dishes
after our church social, and
Miss Hutchins had taken pains to look
in on her several times. And you
can't imagine Miss Hutchins fiat
tering anyone, either. She simply
keeps her eyes open for the very best
in everyone, and her praise is always
discriminating"
81 WONDER" said the other girl
thoughtfully, eff anyone ever thought
to be an encourager to her-to tell her
lust what she was to all of u.s., Per-
haps she needed a little bracing up
herself, sometimes. She must have
had her own share of nerves, or she
would not have broken down this
way. 1 wish l had thought to praise
her. She has such humble opinion
of herself, 1 suppose it would be g
revelation to her to know how people
are missing and talking of her now
Eyes, it probably would be-" said
the other in a conscience smitter
tone. "When you come to think Of
it, it's the dear, cheerful, encouraging
people that we expect to have
tighten our woes, and we make it 6
pretty one-sided thing. We forget
that they may need encouragement
themselves. Suppose we write her &
note this very day, to tell her how
everyone is missing her."-Youns

Attorney General Knox corrects a
False impression.

Washington, o. c., April 22-The
department Of justice has given out
the following "The intimation in a
dispatch from St. Paul. made by one
of the counsel for the northern Sc
curities company that the attorney
general privately expressed himself
as willing to have the decree in the
northern securities case modified
temporarily. or suspended and in
structed the United States attorney
to the contrary merely for public ef-
feet Is utterly without foundation.
The attorney genera has consistently
and unalterably held that the decree
eniolns the violation of a penal stat
ute. and that to mitigate or suspend
Il in any respect would amount to a
license to continue TO violate laws.
The instruction to the United States
attorney reflects. upon its face, the
Ipositiveness and earnestness with
which this view will be maintained
before the court and the reported
statement by counsel for defendants
is beyond all the facts and proprie.

IRRIGATION IN THE

Western. Kansas and Southern Okla
homa Present Conditions.

Washington, D. c., April 23.-Offi-
cials charged with the administration
OF the irrigation law do not have
much confidence in plans that have
been much discussed for the irriga-
tion of Oklahoma. western Kansas
and other regions in the great Plains
that are semi-arid. Mr. +. H. Newell
of the geographical survey has jlst
returned from a trip through the
southwest. He inspected agricultur-
al conditions in that part OF Oklaho-
ma. which is near Texas, while ex-
amining the irrigation situation. He
is of the opinion that where there is
as good prospects for crops as West
ern Oklahoma affords, the people will
never have the patience to wait for
irrigation. However. there will be a
thorough investigation made of two or
three suggested reservoirs. one OF
them being near Granite on the north
fork OF the red river
Thousands of letters have been re-
ceiyed from western Kansas and Ne

ion OF the secretary of the interior
that the law did not contemplate ex-
periments.
