once poet hung a glow
FROM his pen upon his paper.
Sweet scents spIaug from open buds;
Sounds rose high. then droppd and died;
Flames writhed red. like shredS of light
On a wi Ind blown altar taper
And the people saw. and said
Ere they'd half pefused the proem
He must have been off his head
When he called that thing poem"
Once master wrote score
Great and grand and full of wonder

story Is as follows: Il went to Africa
as prejudiced against religion as the

But there came to me a long time

Enticing Premiums Caused SEP

Enticing Premiums Caused "Epi.
demic'' of Marriages.
In certain quarters of the world en-
ticing premiums are put upon early
marriages. Some years ago the mayor
of southern town in France offered a
reward of $40 to every couple under
the age of "a who sought the mairi-
monial altar during his term of Office
The mayor expended many thousands
of francs in the manner described.
Many years ago. when the number OF
marriages in a certain AlGatian town
was far below the average, the muni-
cipal authorities publicly announced
that all persons who married within
a certain period should be exempt
from local taxes for the space of Ave
years. An epidemic of marriages set
in at once A we!l-knOwn Austrian
nobleman was anxious to encourage
matrimony among the peasants on his
estate. He undertook to provide each
bride with four pairs of gloves yearly.
The offer acted like charm.

You Must

If you cannot, it is due to an

Carlin as he started for his buggy.
Tired with his day, George Wash.

logged awake as the buggy whirled
along over the rough Virginia road to
Fairview hall.
When at last they drew up in the
circle before the door, and he had
hitched the horse to the old locust at
the corner of the veranda, George
Washington lost no time in climbing
to his bed over the back kitchen.
1t was not destined to long. He
was brought out of sleep and his
quilts with a jerk and a hand grasp
ing his collar. The hand was that of
Mr.. Carlin, and 1t marched George
Washington down the kitchen stairs,
through the dining room into the par.
lor, where Miss Claribel was sitting
with an indignant flush on her face
and her eyes swapping.
Did you tell MIR. Carlin that
wrote him notes?" said Miss Claribel.
It was on George Washington's lips
to deny the charge, but he say Carlin

Miss Claribel colored. 1t was one

his advantage.

Physicians Couldn't Wed.

There once was time when doctors
were doomed to celibacy. 1t was at
the conclusion of the medieval period
when medicine was in the hands of
the monks. In France, the British Medi.
cal Journal recalls, the habit of CELL
bacy persisted long after the practice of
medicine had passed into lay hands.
For two or three centuries the doc
tors protested, but in vain. The mat.
ter was finally laid before the pope.
and towards the end Of the fifteenth
century the vow was abolished.

The TRUIHfUlNESS OF 4. W. {


his first name was George, and
as he was the color of strong coffee,
OF course his last name was Washing
ton. He had eyes as white as clab-
Der, teeth to match. He was running
away, as any one else might whose
birthday had gone wrong.
You see it was his first birthday-at
least the first he had ever known. He
had discovered the date of it in uncle
Soils almanac-Feb. 20, George Wash-
ington's birthday.
He had heard that those lucky
enough to have birthdays got presents
thereon, and that there was to be q
holiday and a parade Of the fremen
in the nearby towns in honor of this
occasion. He was naturally rather
proud and anticipatory in conse.
quence.
And then the day had come, and
there were no birthday gifts from the
white folks as he had hoped, he was
not allowed to go to town to see his
own procession, and instead of q
holiday he had been rated for laziness
and put on the woodpile
Was 1t any wonder, under these &C.
cumulated grievances, that he ran
away, and now stood, a rather SILVER

road, while he waited win a persua-

George, as he stood behind old Miss
Mary's chair, had observed and drawn
conclusions for himself.
MIR. Carlin had not been near the
Fairview plantation, however. since
the first of the year, and it was said
that he and Miss Claribel had quar-
relied. but still there was a chance of a
lift to town, and George was not the
one to lose chances

Carlin was a goodnatured fellow,
