THE OLD HOMESTEAD.

So surely as the years roll onward
that home in which you now dwell
will be gone, the property will be
turned over into other possession, you
yourself will be in other relationships,
and that home, which only few
years ago, was full Of congratulation,
will be extinguished. When that pc
riod comes you will look back to see
what you did do or neglected to do ir
the way OF making home happy. If
you did not SIN 9th the path Of your
parents toward the tomb; if you did
not make their last days bright and
happy; if you allowed your younger
brother to 60 out ilto the world ua-
hallowed by Christian and sisterly in.
fuences; you allowed the younger
sisters OF your Homa Circle to come up
without feeling that there had been a
most worthy example set them ION
your part, there will be nothing but
bitterness OF lamentation. That Bit
terness will be increased byeall the
surroundings OF that home; by every
clair, by every picture, by the old
time nantel ornams nts, by every
thing you can think Of as connected
with that home. Young woman,
have you anything to do in the way
Of making your fathers home happy?
Now is the time to attend to it, or
leave it forever undone. Time is
flying very quickly away. We sup
pose you notice the wrinkles are
gathering and accum1lating on
those kindly fices that have 50 long
looked upon you; there is frost
in the locks; the foot Is not so firm in
it's step as it used to be, and they will
soon be gone. The heaviest clod that
ever falls on the parents cofin-lid is
the memory OF an ungrateful daugh-
ter. On, make their last days bright
and beautiful. Do not act as If they
were in the way. After long years
have passed and you go out to the
grave where they sleep, you will find
growing all over the mound some.

WHEN GRANDMA SHUTS HER EYES.

Dear grandma gently rocks,
And knits her daughters baby boy
A tiny pair Of socks.
But sometimes grandma shuts her eyes
And sings the softest lullabies.
Across her face the happy smiles
All play at hide and seek,
And kiss the faint and faded rose
That fingers on her cheek,
While thoughts too sweet foF words arise
When dear grandma shuts her eyes.
Yet, sometimes, pictures in her face
Have Just shade of pain,
AS golden April sunshine when

And then perchance she softly sighs

Her wrinkled vissage creep;
But have guessed the truth at last;
She shuts her eyes to view the past

In our efforts to have the mother OF
every household appreciate her infu

forget the wife's influence over the
husband. In many households the in
fuence upon the husband is the only
home influence, for there are no chill
dren. In. a great multitude Of the
best and most important and most
talented families Of the earth there
have been no decendents. There is

ANNFAMoUs REPUBLICAN CIRCULAR.
The Republican corruptionists, with
millions already in their campaign
chest, are crying, begging, browbeat-
ing to get more. They have made a
secret appeal to Wall street interests,
which bellies their prosessed confidence
in a Roosevelt walkover, but indicates
that they intend to raise every dollar
possible and buy the presidency at
any cost. A Wall street man who
received one of these appeals from the
headquarters Of the Republican na-
tional committee, sent 1t to personal
friend, Prof. Henry Lconis Nelson, a
member OF the faculty Of Williams
college. Prof. Nelson says Of it: Its
English is the English that would be
used By a district captain OF New
York in bidding for votes in announc-
ing his annual picnic on East river.
From the beginning to the closing
sentences, the circular fills one with
shame that such a document should
is ,ue from the headquarters Of the
great party which is now in power in
every department. OF the government,
and which is asking the government
to maintain it in power. The appeal
is made for those who have money,
that they pay for the election OF Mr..
Roosevelt.
''The circular says that the real
campaign has not yet begun. It says
furthur that the election depends
upon the votes Of men who are in

that money is needed. 1t significant

SAN JOSE, June 10.-A platform on
which 400 children were seated on
Victory Theater stage gave way dur

entire chorus was thrown to the floor.
That some were not killed is almost

Minnie Withrow received bruises and
cuts on one of her limbs. The rest OF
the children hurt received only bumps
and scratches.
Frank Stevens, a stage hand, received
a fracture Of the skull by being struck
by some of the timbers. A panic was
only averted by the presence Of mind
OF Milton L. Lawrence, who was d.

quieting the children.
The rehearsal was for a children's
concert TO be given in aid Of the Home
OF Benevolence. They had just finished

this afternoon on the ground that the
information was defective. The three
witnesses for the prosecution who
failed to appear. and whom the defend
