The Land of Phanta

The Land of Phantasy.
1t was tho land of phantasy, where II Is
always May,
THE long, long twilight fingered, and the
34 golden air was SWEET.
In swelling hill and rolling moor the pale
dream country lay,
/ with n winding road across the downs
to tempt our wandering feet.
we gathered blossoms all the way;
strange, magic blooms grew there,
The shining flower of happiness, and
honeyed buds Of bliss;
tYou twined wild garlands through your
curls. and on your bosom fair
You bore the red, red rose OF love- win
t9 petals like n kiss
Scarce any murmur broke the hush IN
that still land OF dreams,
Perhaps a whisper OF the wind, or note
Of nested Bird
And far away the bubbling breath OF
distant gushing streams.
But not the sound OF human voice, OF
Any spoken word
There was no need Of spoken word MS
hand in hand we went,
For each heart beat the measure full OF
perfect harmony;
Our eyes on one another looked WIN
silent, deep content,
we did not question what had BEEN
nor what was yet to be.
a charmed spell the spirit held through
those enchanted hours,
The dim pnst faded out Ike SMOKE
and time was swept away;
we sought no boon of future JOY, eter-
& nifty was ours
This was the land of phantasy, "nere
1t is always May.

A Captain Of Industry.

For several days the policeman on
the beat had observed a small boy
who spent the most Of his time loung-
ing near a downtown street crossing
and seemed to have nothing to do.
One morning he accosted him.

your name is, you do entirely too
much loafng around here. Hadn't
you better be at home?"
Il amt loafn'," Indignantly re-
piled the boy. Il got reg'ler job

"De guy wot owns dis store pays

But never see you doing any

Course not" returned the boy.

Lead a Regular Life.

Few persons understand the value
of regularity of habits. Meals and
sleeping hours should be fixed ones
for only harm can result from retiring
one night at 10 and another at Il
o'clock unless the rising hour varies
too. Eight hours Of sleep one night
and six the next is not the way in
which to WOO and keep health, and if
a similar habit of taking nourishment
is encouraged there is little hope of
reaching old age in a creditable con-
dition. If ever you are tempted to
prove or disprove these statements,
try going to bed at 9 o'clock every
night for three months, rising at 5
and eating at 6, u and 6 again, with
pevera break in the routine. The
result will surprise you.

Look Pleasant.

If you are an employer do not go
about your place of business as though
You thought life were a wretched,
miserable grind. Show yourself mas
ter of the situation, not its slave.
Rise above the petty anuoyances
which destroy peace and harmony.
Make up your mind that you are too
large to be overcome by trifes. Re-
solve that you will be larger than
your business, that you will overtop
it with your manliness and cheerful
ness.
To say nothing of its being your
duty to make the lives of those who
are helping you to carry on your bus
mess as pleasant and as full Of sun
shine as possible, it is the best posi-
bic policy for you to pursue. You
know very well that horse that is
well prodded and fretted and urged
all the time by means of whip and
spur and rein will not travel nearly
so far without becoming exhausted as
one that is urged forward by gentle
ness and kind treatment. In their
susceptibility to kindness men and
women are in nowi8e different from
the lower animals. You cannot ex-
pect your employees to remain buoy
ant, cheerful, alert and unwearied
under the goad of scowls and the lash
of bitter tongue. Energy is only
another name for enthusiasm, and
how can you expect those who work
for you to be enthusiastic and ener-
getic in your service when surround
ed by an atmosphere of dependency
and 6 loom, when they expect vol
ley of curses and criticism every time
you pass
Many man who could have been
a success sleeps in failures grave
today because of his gloomy, mean
contemplate disposition and manner
He poisoned the atmosphere about
him by venting his spleen, dyspepsia
and bile on every one in his vicinity.
He not only minimized the value Of
his own efforts, but he also paralized
the powers. the initiative, helpful fac
ulties and suggestive ideas of al
those who worked for him.

Had to Open Grave.

While the police fought to restrain
3 mob of more than a thousand excit-
cd men and hysterical women in st.
Augustine's Cemetery, Bridgeport,
Conn, the grave of Miss Annie Ben
der, l7-year-old girl who died Of
gas aspbyxiation and was thought to
have been buried alive, was opened
at midnight one night last week.
Removal of the coffin revealed the
body in the same condition in which
it was buried. Physicians were called
to satisfy the mob and the body was
reinterred. The mob dispersed, but
there was little sleep for the rest Of
the night On the east side Of the city.
The gruesome scene was brought
about by an imaginative workman,
who ran from the burial ground
spreading the report that he had heard
groans issuing from the newly made
grave.
When there were more than 500
persons IN the burying ground the
police summoned Undertaken Pistey.
He declared that the girl was dead,
that he had drawn the blood from her
VEINS and injected embalming fluid
and that her return to life was a ply
steal impossibility. The mob would
not be pacifed, and when the dead
girls sister insisted that the grave be
opened torches were brought, and
while the police struggled to keep
back the curious crowd the grave
diggers began their gruesome task.
A hush fell on the crowd when the
coffin was reached and brought to the
surface. Amid intense suspense the
undertaken removed the coffin lid and
exposed the body. The police formed
a line and let the excited crowd pass
in single file to be assured the girl
was dead.
