Ny Father and Mother at the Gate.

Oh, there's many a lovely picture on
memory's silent wall.
There's many a cherished image that
tenderly recall.
The sweet home of my childhood with
Its singing brooks and birds.
My brother and my sister that up be-
side me grew with their loving
looks and words:
The flowers that decked the wild
wood, the roses fresh and sweet,
The blue bells and the daisies that
blossomed at my feet.
All are very precious and often come
Like the breezes from a better land
beyond LIES troubled sea.
But the sweetest, dearest pictures
that memory can create
Is the image OF my father ana mother
at the gate.
Thou art waiting In that city where
the saints and angels wait,
And I'll know the dearest father and
mother when ] reach the Pearly

Tnere is a regrettable drift of
the solid citizenship of our ooun
try districts toward the city In d
well chosen editorial on the sub
jsct, one of our country papers
says to the young man:
Where you are in your coun-
try home, you have some individ
uality; you are somebody in the
eyes of your neighbors. yon have a
definite standing in hone society
But in the city you will be lost;
you will be nothing more than
one of the thousands of unknown
persons you rub against as you
pass along the crowded sireete."
We commend the suggestion as
wise and worthy of thought. Both
city and farm would be better off
morally if they did not plunge
into the -hotbeds of temptation pro-
vided in our large commercial oen-
ters.

They Serve Chicken at This Hotel
in Accordance With a Will.

They Serve Chicken at This Hotel
in Accordance With a Will.
An old landmark to people
we'll acquainted in the city of
weston is the Bailey House, an
old hostelry which stands on one
of the principal corners of Main
street. Travellers who have stop
ped there on numerous occasions
have remarked that every time
they come to Weston and put up
at the Bailey house they have
chicken on the menu. Not only
do they have chicken on the
menue every time these travellers
strike the city, but the barnyard
bird is an article of food that can
be found on the table every day
in the year, in accordance with
the terms of an old and curious
document.
Many years ago the house was
built by James Bailey and by
him named the Bailey House.
When the old man was about
ready to pass to the other shore
he called in his attorney and in
structed him to draw a will be-
queathing the property to his
grandson on one condition, which
must be maintained upon pain
of the loss of the property. The
condition inserted in the will was
this: "On every day of the week,
Sunday included, chicken shall
be served at least once upon the
dining tables of the hostelry
known as the bailey House, and
which is herein conveyed and be-
queathed to my grandson. If he
desires to sell hostelry he shall
not permit the deed to be made
without the insertion of the
clause written above in this will y
In accordance with the terms
of the will the grandson served
chicken at least once day, and
upon selling the property the
clause in the will was made part
of the deed. To this day the
fowl may be found upon the
table every day in the week and
twice on Sunday.

Scientific Turkey Raising.

Only recently has science turn
ed its attention to, the Thanks
giving bird, but already it has
accomplished some wonderful
things in the culture and i'm
provement of that admirable
fowl, which in the opinion of
many has a better claim than the
baldheaded eagle to figure as the
national emblem.
On Fishers Island opposite
New London, Connecticut, and
not far distant, is the greatest and
most successful turkey farm in
the world. The island, one
might say, is an artificial wilder
ness of 1000 acres, scientifically
managed. Over this area thous-
ands of the birds roam in a con-
dition so close to that of nature
that though domesticated varie-
ty they are practically wild. No
shelters of any kind are provided
for them, the hen turkeys build
their nests in open, and, while
plenty of corn is supplied, it is
scattered about in all sorts of
places and even buried under
leaves, in order that the fowls
may be obliged to hustle for their
provender.
These turkeys attain gigantic
size, sometimes reaching weight
of nearly fifty pounds. In the
market at Thanksgiving time
4hey reach 10 cents a pound
more than ordinary turkeys,
owing to their remarkably deli
cious flavor.
They are SO hardy that moth
ing short of a hatchet will kill
them. In winter they roost out
on fenco sails and tree branches,
and. though often their heads
are actually frozen under their
wings, their health does not suf-
fer in the least. The delicacy OF
constitution which afiicts tur-
keys elsewhere, making them
hard to rear, does not bother the
birds of Fishers Island. Not
long ago thirty of them were
brought by the state Authorities
of Rhode Island for the purpose
of inoculating them with the
fearfully destructive and conta-
gious disease known as ssblack
head'' by way of experiment
but none of them could be in.

SENATE COMPOSED OF RICH

with other states of the Union in
respectfully requesting that CON-

of proposing an amendment to the

to this effect Their action has
been officially called to my atten.
ton for the purpose of bringing
the matter to the attention of the

While Governor White makes
no recommendation, he hardly
would have called attention to the
subject had it not made favorable
Impression upon his mind. Evi-
IDENTIFY he desired to bring the
matter before the people and let
them think it over carefully until
some future time, when. perhaps,
they may participate in righting a

AS an illustration of the fact
that mons but rioh men, with very
few exceptions. can enter the por-
