Each year the shores of the islands

The First Plowina.

Calls the crow from the pine-tree top
When the April air IL still.
He calls to the farmer hitching his team
In the fnrmyard under the hill.
Come up" he cries. come out and come
For the high fields ripe to TN,
Don't walt for word from the dandellon
Or leave from the daffodil'
Cheeps the nycatcher Here old earth
Warns up In the April sun:
And the first ephemera. wings vet wet
From the mold creep one by one
Under the fence where the files frequent
Is the earliest gassamer spun.
Come UP from the damp Of the valley
For here the winters done"
Whistles the hlghhole out OF the grove
HIS summoning loud and clear:
f'Chilly II may be down your way
But the high south field has cheer
On the sunward side of the chestnut
stump
The wood-grubs wake and appear
Come out to your plowing-come up &c
your powing-
The time for plowins is here"
Then dips the Golfer and drives the share
And the burrows family steam.
The crow drifts furtively down from the
pine
To follow the clanking team.
The hycatcher tumbles: the highole darts
In the young. moons yellow gleam
And wholesome sweet the smell of tn,
Upturned from Its winters dream.

able to roam about he can find no end

"Oh. | mean that you must come,

She shook her head. He argued
against her decision, but she would
not yield.

why. | do not even know your name.
| have asked you and you have told
me to call you dog. after the manner

And after this she called him Mr..
Dog.
Grubbs did not care to be known. In
some sort of n deal with an alderman
he had Afforded a scandal for the
newspapers. and he was still the sub
ject of an occasional fling from the
men who wrote short paragraphs.
His kindness, however. was such as
to awaken gratitude in the heart of
the mother. He would bring articles
of diet and leave them without
word. Once he gave the child piece
of yellow money.
You must give it back" said the
woman.
Madam" replied Grubbs, would
you deny an old man all pleasure? He
must keep the money"
The boy continued to improve. and
1t was not long before he could run
about the house. but Grubbs came
every day, waving at him OF a morn
ing and holding him upon his knee in
the afternoon.
Il dislike so much to call you Mr..
Dog" said the woman. Won't You
select some other name?"
mol" the boy cried. "He is my
good dog" And so it went from day
to day. One afternoon as Grubbs was
about to take his leave. he looked at
the boy and said:
Madam. I don't see why l cannot
adopt him."
But you could not adopt me. Mr.
Dog"
why. yes I can. You are young
enough to be my daughter. am sure"
But my husband might not like 1t. /

What, is he so far away?"
"Yes. He is serving his country in
the Philippines. His father would
never consent to see mel was an
actress. and"
Madam, you must tell me your hus.

His name is Grubbs'
The old man turned to the little
boy. Come, my son. You and your
mother are going home with your

Mr.. Albee,s Opinion.

Alpine. Cal, June 6.-Mr. T. NJ. Al

opinion based on his own experience
which VIII no doubt he OF interest to
many. Mr.. Albee is a man of few
words, hut his well known truthful
ness and uprightness OF character
adds much weight to any statement
he makes. He says:
"The first box of Dodd's Kidney Pills
that | used convinced me of their
good qualities and | used altogether
four boxes with the very best results.

This voluntary expression OF opin-

English infection All Right, but He
Was from Chicago.
English with the Oxford accent is
the stamp OF culture and distinction in
England, and Edgar Jepson. the au.
thor OF "The Admirable Tinker" is
famous among his acquaintances for
the perfection OF his Oxford English.
His fame spread until 1t reached the
ears of rich young American violent.
ly afflicted with Anglomania and eager
for success in London drawing rooms.
The American asked Mr.. Jepson II he
could teach the accent. The English.
man thought he could. and the lessons
have progressed with distinguished
success.
Not long ago an American literary
man. calling upon Mr.. Jepson at his
home in London suburb, met an ir-
reproachable young man with a super
fine English accent of the most refined
and fawless type. Both visitors missed
the last train to town and they agreed
to walk in together
The literary man listened and ad-
mired and finally remarked. in a fine
burst of generosity:
You Englishmen OF culture do
speak your language most delight
fully"
"Ah. thank you" replied his com.
panion. but I'm from Chicago. you

KEPT THE PEOPLE AWAKE.
No Quiet Dozes Permitted at Early

There are many odd. old-fashioned

and sometimes women. we're employed
as ''sluggard walkers" that is, to rouse
those who might be overcome by their
surroundings: and occasionally parish
toner's would bequeath sums OF money
for the payment of such officials. In
an Interesting book called "Old Church
Life" mention is made OF one of these
siuggard walkers. who is said to have
carried n long. stout wand, with a
fork at the end of 1t. At intervals he
stepped stealthily up and down the
nave and aisles of the church, and
whenever he saw an individual whose
senses were buried in oblivion he
touched him with his wand so effectu-
ally that the spell was broken and in
an instant the offender was recalled
TO all the realities of life. In another
church the beadle employed on the
mission used long stan having a
fox's brush at one end and knob at
the other. Should lady fall asleep
her face was tickled with the brush.
but an unlucky man was reused by
sharp rap with the knob.
