I met a little Mormon girl:
 She was just eighteen. she said. Her hair was dressed with one big curl That dangled from her head. She had q simple way, and bland; Her speech was soft and cool, And in ner honest. widespread hand She bore a milking stool. How many children, little maid. How many? Sixty-seyen," she said, And shyly looked at me. Her hazel eyes to mine she raised, And then she cast them down. T did not ask 1 said, amazed, ''The census of your town. How many children round your door Disport in childish glee?'' Just sixty-seven,'' she said, once more, And smiled again at me. Forty of us at Provo dwell;
 At ogden there are nine. The good ship Jane, they sail her we'll Twelve brothers, dear, of mine" II see at last. Your meanings clear" Said l, with laughter merry; ''ls it an orphanage, my dear,
 Or female seminary" MY tdtnfF kllld IS uflWlnS near, The little maid replied; He's been to roam, he's bringing home Another brand new bride. With father dear we dwell at peace; Our mothers are eleven; Round every door there's room for more, And we are sixty-seven." And then left in dumb dismay The maid with eyes like heaven; And I'm the oldest. by the way, Of all the sixty-seyen.'

 Good observers are probably about as rare as good poets. Accurate sec. ling-an eye that takes in the whole truth. and nothing but the truth-how
 rare indeed it isl So few persons know or can tell exactly what they see; SO few persons can draw a right inference from an observed fact; so few persons can keep from reading their own thoughts and preconceptions into what they see; only a person with the.
 scientific habit of mind can be trusted to report things as they are. Most of
 us, in observing the wild life about us, see more or less of the truth. We see less when our minds are dull, or preoc- cupied, or blunted by want of interest.
 This is true of most country people, We see more when we read the lives of the wild creatures about us in the light
 of our human experience, and impute to the birds and beasts human motives
 and methods. This is too often true of
 the eager city man or woman who sal- lies out into the country to study na- ture.
 The tendency to sentimentalize nature
 has, in our time, largely taken theI
 place of the old tendency to demonize and spiritize it. It is anthropomorp-
 hism in another form, less fraught with evil to us. but equally in the way of al
 clear understanding of the life about us. t-John Burroughs in the Century.

The Russian students in Berlin did not approve, of the speech of Chancellor yon Bulow defending the proceedings or ,.se Russian secret police in Berlin, and thevi wsaa.h bold or foolish enough to say so. According to ti,eir custom, they at once held a meeting and adopted reso- lutions protesting against the expulsion of foreigners by the Prussian govern rnent. Thereupon. twelve of the ring- leaders among them were notified that +hev must leave Prussia within eight days. The choice of frontier, however, was left to thenl so that they will not fall into the hands of the Russian au- thorities, The following is understood to he the resolution which was particu- larlv offensive to the Prussian authori- ties: The view professed by Count von Bulow and, in agreement with him, by a part of the German public that the guest must silently allow himself to be insulted by his host without the right of defence is not reconciiable with our con- ceotion of honor and justice. An il- liberal system of government has driven us forth from our own country. But even in a foreign land, where we have taken refuge trusting to the solidarity of all true civilization. we regard the preservation of our honor and of our sels-respect as sacred duty, and we are one and all prepared to take upon ourselves any consequences which this declaration may entail. May Count von Bulow bear the responsibility before the whole civilized world and at the bar of history for proceeding which in reali- ty serves the interests of Russian ab- solutism, the relentless enemy of all civilization and progress in the direc- ton of liberty.
 So far Count von Bulow seems to be bearing the responsibility pretty well.

rLAAsIAG INDICATION.

New England doesn't seem to be much better than some other places when it comes to the matter of making money out of adulterated food, but it is pleasing to be able to record an indica- tion that New England isn't wholly given over to constituencies fraud, or disregard of good business principles. It is pretty we'll known that the buy CTS of codfish don't always get what they pay for and now the Gloucester curers of fish admit that the substitu- tion of inferior fish for genuine codfish has reached a point where something should be done to end it. It has done as much as anything else to bring the fish business into ill-repute, and while the substitute-be it either cusk, pollock or hake-is not bad itself, it is not so good as codfsh, and should be sold for what it is. The consumer doesn't know the difference between cod and cusk when it is worked up into shreds, but he wont buy it as often because he doesn't like it. In this way codtish gets a bad name and the sales fall off. There is talk in Gloucester of bringing the matter to the attention of all fish curers with the view of reaching some agreement whereby the practice can be brought under control.
 Success to the movement for unadui- terated codfish. It is reform which nav well have the attention and sup hort of the real reformers.

A giant three-cylinder locomotive. which will be exhibited at the St. Louis exposition, has been tested on the Ger man military railroad in the presence of a large company of civil and mili- tary personages. The engineer of this locomotive rides on it's forward part. and communicates with the fireman through a speaking tube. The front and rear cones of the locomotive dimin- 1sh the resistance. The locomotive alone attained speed of eighty miles an hour, and of sixty-two miles an hour when drawing six vestibule passenger coaches weighing a total of 225 metric tons No effort was made to develop full speed, but the trial proved the pos- sbility of introducing sixty-mile schedule without any change of road bed or rolling stock.

Joseph H. Smith, head of the Mormon church. who has been making unexpect- zedly frank revelations in the Shoot trial, has not much the appearance of a preacher. A thin, aquiline nose, deeply furrowed cheeks. very bright eyes be- hind steel-rimmed spectacles, short cut hair only slightly gray and patri- archal white beard reaching to his heavy gold watch chain are his char acteristic physical features.

Perhaps the two most learned women in the world, certainly the foremost women biblical scholars, are Mrs. Az nes Smith Lewis and Mrs. Margaret Dunlop Gibson, Of Cambridge, England, who have just discovered what is known as the Sinaitic palimpsest, the oldest known manuscript of the four gospels. This is the most important discovery of biblical manuscripts which has been made in modern times. Re- markable to say, Mrs. Gibson and Mrs. Lewis are twin sisters.

The following write-up of the st.
Edwards s basket ball team was given
in a recent issue of the Sunday Re-
publican
The st. Edwards g basket ball team
of Stafford Springs, composed of mem
bers of the St. Edwards Social club,
was organized November %, 1903
The average age of the players is 81
years and their weight 140 pounds.
Considering that the team has been
in the field only three months, it has
a remarkable record of victories to it's
CT edit, having defeated successfully
eight of the best amateur teams in
New England. Capt. Richard O'Neil,
right forward, is a general favorite.
His skill at basket ball approaches his
we'll known ability to stop hot liners
on the diamond. With an enviable
reputation as shortstop in baseball,
he also holds the amateur record in
basket ball for individual scoring.
He is uncommonly rapid at passing,
crafty at dribbling, as slippery as an
eel in evading pursuers and stealing
shots at the basket. Timothy J.

Desmond, center, plays an honest
game, and has had only two fouls
called against him this season. He
is swift and skillful passer and is
cool under exciting tension. He is
we'll versed in those tricks that worry
an opponent and foil his plans. Des-
mond, too, is sure shot. Edward
Collins, left forward, a clever pitcher
at baseball, has won fresh laurels be-
hind the netting. He possesses all
the ability of the graceful athlete, is
ingenious at evasion and effective at
cover. Albert Mullin, left guard, is
noted for his sturdy tackling of any
duty that comes along. Nothing up
sets him. He is as cool as zero in a
situation requiring strength and nerve.
and as solid as the rock of Gibraltar

activity is often very annoying to an

Proverbs

When the butter won't

proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat

Paine Accepted DeVO0'S Offer
Good yarn: How Devoe got an
agent at Delhi, N. Y.
Gladstone & Paine we're agents for
we mustn't tell names.
Devoe wanted 'em. Paine was paint
ing his big Colonial house. Said it
took 10 gallons of white for the trim.
Devoe sent him 10 gallons and said:
if you get it all on, no pay; if you
have any left, return it and pay for
the rest. Agreed.
He returned four gallons and took
the agency. Four or five years ago.
He knows now that his old paint was
and is adulterated; that's why it took
ten gallons to equal six of Devoe.

name to go by: Devoe lead-and-zinc.
