SINCE BABY CAME.

L love my own dear mother more,
Since baby came;
1 understand what once She bore,
Since baby came;
The long, hard nights and weary days,
She knew through all my childhood days,
Since baby came.
I love all other mothers now,
Since baby came;
There seems a halo Ger each brow,
Since baby came;
Their hopes, their joy, their grief, their
care,
1 now can comprehend, and share.
Since baby came.
And all the children that I meet,
Since baby came;
Seem far more precious and more sweet.
Since baby came;
A freSher charm for me they hold.
AS 1 watch one small life unfold,
Since baby came.
I honor all true fathers more.
Since baby came;
I know their worth as ne'er before.
Since baby came;
The wealth of love they can bestow,
Their toll, their sacrifice I know
Since baby came.
My Heavenly Father seems more near.
Since baby came;
His love for me now grows more clear,
Since baby came;
So many things not understood
Reveal themselves through motherhood.
Since baby came.

QUEER CROP COMING UP.
McFadden Thought He Would Save
the Trouble of Sorting
the Seeds.

His name is McFadden, and he manip-
ulates the wheel on the 'box" eleva-
tor in the southwest corner of the city
hail. He dwells in pretty cottage
out in Germantown, and has a back
yard latent with Horticultural possibili-
ties.
Somebody with political pull told
him that Uncle Sam would furnish
seeds for the asking, providing the re-
quest came through a congressman.
Now, McFadden's servant "a the
house is George McCreary, wbo, being
new in the business and an altruist
when it comes to serving lis fellow
man, responded with alacrity, and in a
marvelously short time the elevator
operator received big package from
the agricultural department.
On opening the package McFadden's
delight turned to disgust, reports the
Philadelphia Telegraph, for instead of
flower seeds he found seeds warranted
to grow into any known vegetable.
Included and neatly labeled were GU
cumber, sweet and ''horse" corn, wa
termelon, cauliflower, spinach, egg
plant, carrot and a myriad of other
kinds of seeds.
But McFadden is not without saw
ing sense of humor, and it came to his
rescue in the form of a decision to mix
the specimens, plant them in a bunch in
his backyard, and start guessing con-
test among his friends at a nickel a
guess, .ile winner to take ALL
Mcfsdden's guess is succotash.

GIRLS DO THE WOOING.
Countries Where Maidens Do Not
Have to Wait Patiently for
an Offer of Marriage.

The women in all parts of the world
are not constrained by custom to wait
for an offer of marriage from some
favored swain. For instance. no young
man among the Moravian gypsies will
presume to court a girl until she has
given him notice of her readiness to
receive advances. This she does by
using cake as love letter, baking
therein a coin, and throwing it within
his tent door at night when he is alone.
He, of course, is not bound to accept.
But if he does it behooves him to be
faithful. The Romany of Hungary
knows naught of breach of promise
suits. Instead the relations and
friends of the Tilted maiden wait upon
the inconstant. lover, argue with him,
Then, if he still remains obdurute, he
is manned by a shot in, the leg or arm.
By ancient Romany custom, too, the
sighted girl has the right to present
and to decree in which of his limbs he
shall be wounded. In practice, how
ever, she usually elects to stay away,
thereby leaving the fearful choice to
him.
A manageable Burmese girl, as
soon as she has, completed her trous-
seau places in her window the Glove

as the 'feast of the love gariands.
All the unmarried girls who can claim

about 10 o'clock Monday night. 1t

Mr.. Hammond did not reach here
until late Thursday evening and it

and at 10 o'clock Friday morning
the interment was made. DR.. Hui

attendance being very good consid-

that the dead man was stranger in
the community.
Carriages were sent by many of the
best citizens of the town. There
were no hired vehicles. The floral
contributions were very liberal not
withstanding the scarcity of flowers
just at this time, in some instances
personal sacrifices being made to
send them. Business men left their
business to attend the funeral and
the respect shown the dead and SYM
pathy felt for the living, strangers
though they were among US. was
characteristic OF our people.
Mr.. Hammond was a veteran of
the Union army and among the pail
bearers were Confederate veterans as
was the minister who conducted the
service. He belonged to the 143rd
New York Volunteers. with the rank
of Captain. Among his effects was
found an honorable discharge. He
had been wounded in the head and it
seems he never entirely recovered
from the effects of this. At times he
suffered great pain and would be-
come moody and respondent. OF
late years he had not been content
to stay in one place or remain at
one thing long at a time. 1t must
