Home is sad, since thou hast left us,
Gloom and darkness hover near,
Now. we miss the from our circle,
When thy voice we do not hear.
Dearest husband, weep not Tor me.
God has calle1 me from your side,
He knows best for whats before
you,
AND whatever will betide.
Father, mother, cease your weeping,
For your child has gone before,
She has fought the battle bravely
And her sorrows all are over
Brother, sisters bent with sorrow.
Dry away each falling tear,
Think Of her who iondly loved you.
And that death she did not fear.

THE "oLD GROWTH" PINE.
Trees That Ought to Be Preserved
Because Of Their Old As
sociahons.

The disappearance of what is known
as the "old growth" pine of this coun.
try has saddened the heart of many a
lover of our forests, and while these
monarchs of the woods are not of the
size and stature of the giant redwoods
of California they are none the less
au Interesting feature of our sylvia
says the Boston Transcript There
ought to be some steps taken for the
preservation of these old trees, which
bear as important a relation to our
forests of the east as do the big trees
to California forestry.
One of the few remaining tracts in
this country has just been explored by
party from Amherst, Mass. and is
situated on Pisgah mountain, just
across the Connecticut river from Bel
lows Falls, on the Hinsdale IN. H.
side. Several of these trees have at
tanned the height of $50 feet, and their
trunks are limbless from 20 to 80 feet
from the ground. These primeval
white pines are declared by scientists
to be more than 1000 years old, and
are still in a healthy condition.
If The state of New Hampshire can
not secure this tract for a forest re-
serve, the government ought to do so.
With trees of later growth, intelligent
forestry can be conserved by re-
| forestration after intelligent cutting.
In this case the destruction of the
'old growth" pine would mean dis
tinct loss to the state. Such trees
ought to be preserved, because their
very antiquity entities them to respect.

BEDTIME IN HUNTING CAMP
Picture of Comfort in the Woods Por-
trayed by One Who Has
Enjoyed It.

Everything made ship-shape for the
night, in the fast-gathering twilight
for night falls quickly in this billy and
forest-covered regson-you throw an
extra log or two on your cook fire. spread
your rubber ponchos against the damp
ness, light your big brier pipes, and
sprawl out before the cheerful blaze
for bedtime smoke. writes Borden Fl
Mills. in Four-Track News.
Soon your fire dies down to fitful
glow, the impenetrable shadows of the
mighty woods creep in upon you. and
you suddenly determine that You
are sleepy Look at your watch. You
will find that il is hardly nine O'Clock.
A ridiculous bedtime" for one who is
accustomed TO retiring around mid
night, you think, but if you do not wan
to fall asleep by the embers of your
smoldering fire, and wake in the early
dawn with stiff joints and a sitter cold
from the morning mists, you would bet
ter turn in Roll up in your blanket on
thefragrant mattress of boughs, find the
TWO softest spots for your shoulders and
your hips, and you'll sleep like a too
until morning.

FUNERALS HIS PLEASURE.

can carry.

Another character has been found in
Germantown. He migrates under the
sobriouet of Funeral joe and like
the other members of this category is
a center of attraction when seen upon
the street in the different parts of the
suburb. reports the Philadelphia Even
ing Telegraph. The addition TO the his
tOric old sections list of freaks once
seen will never be forgotten, by reason
of his grotesque attire No funeral in
the past year that has proceeded to Ivy
Hill cemetery Mount Airy. found him
missing. and no heaTse carrying the

and retiring to another burial place
where he goes through the same tactics
Previous to the interment he visits
the home where the remains of the de
ceased are being viewed, and generally
causes a stir by his attire of black suit
that has seen better days, white gloves,
white shoes and a white opera hat,
adorned with green ribbon. Effected
from the house OF mourning. as he gen
orally is. he will seek another funeral
and force himself into the room in which
the corpse reposes.
One of his eccentricities while in the
place is to pick a flower from the floral
tributes, principally from the one sent
by one of the survivors of the dead per
son, and after looking about the room
for some time, pin ii upon the breast Of
a mourner. Al the conclusion of the
services at the house he has been
known to follow the cortege for miles to
the cemetery, and on growing tired takes
rest upon the rear end of a carriage. No
matter what the weather may be,
he may be seen daily wherever there is
funeral in the suburb and although
harmless and known to the police, dur
nally follows his odd notion

WAYS OF A THiEviNC DOG.
Minnesota Canine Holds the Record
for Degeneracy Among
His Kind.

John Huyck, q we'll known citizen
of Sioux Falls, is the owner of a bird
dog which has a mania for stealing,
and, so far as the range of the articles
stolen Is concerned, the dog holds the
canine record for thefts, says the st.
Paul Dispatch.
The animal was raised from
puppy by Huyck. His degeneracy
commenced TO manifest itself some
time ago, when members of the
family would find upon the porch of
the Huyck domicile such things as
rubbers, shoes, pieces of rope and the
like. Finally hammock pillows were
added to the collection. In fact
everything of portable nature that
could be carried by the dog found
its way to the Huyck home.
AS these things were taken from
residents of the immediate neighbor
hood it was not a difficult matter to
restore the accumulatiOns to the right
full owners.
But the limit was reached the other
day when the dog brought up to the
DdCh uOOl IL MULTI u PON
roast, which was steaming hot. 1t is
supposed the kettle was placed out
doors so the meat could cool off and
that the dog, attracted by the scent
of meat, was drawn to the spot, After
proceeding to investigate, the dog
evidently found the meat too hot to
remove from the kettle, so decided
to carry off the kettle as well as its
contents.
The owner of the kettle could not
be located. and rather than run the
risk of further trouble the owner of
the dog decided to send the animal
into the country for a time, in hope
that it can be broken of the stealing
proclivitles
The dog is smart, is a good ranger
and hunter, and is valuable, excepting
for his habit of stealing everything he
can carry.

HOW A LICENSE WAS SAVED
Old English Public House Maintained
to Provide for New
Business.

For many weeks during last winter
an odd sight was to be seen daily in
High HOlbOrn. In the center of a
great area of recently demolished
buildings stood a small wooden shanty.
relates Stray Stories.
At - O'Clock the door was opened.
and a solitary customer entered. In
side ne found an ordinary small cOun-
Ter. behind which was bartender
The customer called for a pint of
beer and the attendant carefully meas
ured cut an imperial pint. This was
paid for and consumed to the last
drop, the customer then retired The
bartender followed, locked up, and the
nttle hut remained empty and desert
cd until midday on the following day,
when the same thing took place again.
The reason of this performance was
that one of the demolished buildings
was an old public house. known as the
Coach and Horse The new purchasers
intend TO include a licensed restaurant
n thc buildings which they are erect
inS upon the old site. and in order to
preserve the license they erected this
wooden hut in order to carry on the
business. and thus preserve the license.
