CONFINEMENT.
Give me lawn that cools my feet
Ciose-grown and fresh and soft ana
clean,
A clump Of trees to check the heat,
A flush Of roses on the green
An ancient stream that flows thereby,
With all its thousand smiles displayed;
hammock swinging. not too high
Well hung within magic shade.
Three little maids with hair OF gold.
Whose laughter scarce disturbs my
dream;
A jug of cider icy-cold,
A dish of strawberries and cream.
And for a guardian of our ground,
We'll tried through many changing
years,
A fond and faithful little hound,
With handy legs and spreading ears
And let the world go ringing past;
Let others range from shore to shore
These simple pleasures bind me fast;
Give me but these. ask no more.

Arson Phelps Stoks. Jr., who is

100000 for his college, is an en-

Mr.. Stokes speaks often of intemper-

''Have you ever noticed how drunk
enness causes uncleanliness? When
you see a drunkard sprucing up lit
tie, take heart-it is a hopeful sign. He
may stop drinking ere long. But if he

A Day for Rest.

1t has taken two alleged 'Soulless"
corporations, and railroad corporations
at that, to set shining examples before
the country recently of insistence on
high moral standards in business re-
CARELESS of the question of profit. One
of these was the Wabash road, which
has excluded liquor selling from it's eat
ing houses, and the other, and still more
recent instance. is that of the Chicago.
Milwaukee and st. Paul system, which
has decided that Sunday shall be made
a day of rest for all its employees, SO
far as that is possible without interfer-
ing with the absolute necessities of traf-
fic. Sunday excursion trains have been
discontinued, and freight crews have
been instructed to reach headquarters,
so far as possible, on Saturday night,
SO that they may have Sunday for rest.
One practical result of the action of
both these companies will be to lessen
the liability to accidents on their lines
a result that will be appreciated by
their patrons, no matter what their in
dividual views on the subject of liquor
selling and Sunday dissertation may be.
