IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE.
Bereaved Mother Writes of Her Little
Darling, j. B. Gum.

This bright world, fragrant with the
OdOr of flowers respondent with the
tories of earth, is again made sad,
for grim, merciless Death has entered
our home and carried away our own
little sunbeam. Our sky is hung with
curtains of darkest hue, and every
sound that strikes our ear has in it a
cadence of despair; and without the
presence of the dear little boy the
world seems empty and cherries to
US, and in our sad hearts there is a
dreary, aching void which never can
be filled.
Little j. B. was just the age to be
so much comfort and jOy-nearly three
years old-and oh, the sweet words
and noisy patter of baby feet, how we
miss them; and willing baby hands al
ways ready to help~the fairest of all
hands to his mama-and to think they
lie folded in the cold embrace OF
death.
Dear little hands ! miss them so.
All through the day wherever | 90;
All through the night how lonely it seems,
For no little hands wake me out of my dreams.
Daytime night time, wherever 90,
Dear little hands. miss them so.
Those who have never knelt by the
bedside of darling child and watch
ed the little eyes close in death and
the little form grow stiff and cold can
never half realize what the words pain
and sorrow mean; and then to return
home, see the little clothes, shoes,
playthings, and the saddest of all left
behind, three little footprints on the
floor, and know baby is gone forev-
err; know
The gentle little voice is hushed
His warm true heart is STILL
And on his young and innocent brow
Is resting deaths cold chill.
His hands are clasped upon his breast,
We've last kissed the lovely brow;
And in our aching hearts we know
We have no darling now
Baby was sick only two days, and
oh, it was so hard for our idol to be
snatched away without warning. We
CRY in our sadness and wonder why
our little one had to be taken, so
young and innocent; but some time,
perhaps, we'll understand, and it is a
great sOlace to know God needed an
other little angel and none could fill
sent sen the angel Of peace on the 10th day
of August, 1905, and he bore our lit
tie darling over the dark river to the
New Jerusalem, where sorrow and
pain are known no more. The lit
tie tomb and slab that stand in the
cemetery in Dawson will tell that our
little boys work is done and he is
gone, but still we love HIM. MAMA.

4 London dispatch says: Joseph
T. McCadden, who was at the head
of the McCadden shows, which
stranded in France, was arraigned
today in Bow street police court and
remanded for further hearing under
bail.
The charges against McCadden grow
out of the failure of his circus, and
the warrant for his arrest was made
at the request of the French authOri-
ties, and he is accused Of.viOlating the
French bankrupt laws.
The arrest was made just as he
boarded the steamer St. Louis to take
the body of his wife, who died in Lon
don, home for burial.
He appeared in court dressed in
mourning, and looking i'll. He said
his arrest was cruel, as his where
abOuts were known to the French pO-
lice, and he had made no attempt at
secrecy.

Age and Brain Work.

The belief of Sir James Crichton, Browne that brainworkers achieve their best work in later middle age Is easily confirmed by glancing at the ca reers of few of the grand old men who are still with us, many of whom are as busy as in their younger days, says the London Chronicle. Lord Rob- erts at 73 is still worth f5,OOO year to the nation as one of our imperial defenders; Lord Kelvin at S1 may startle us with further generalizations on the mysteries of science, Sir Will liam Huggins at the same age still ex. plores interstellar spaces, while the ac- tivity of the octogenarian Duke of Rut- land and Lord Wemyss is as effective as ever in preserving the privileges of our old nobility.

FACTS ABOUT FINLAND.

Henrik, the English-born Bishop of Upsaia, is Finlands patron saint and martyr.
 The preservation of Finland's laws, constitution and religion was guaranteed by Alexander I.
 In 1898 Nicholas II. began the series of measures looking toward the Russif. cation of the country.
 Finland was conquered by Sweden af- ter long struggle, and the people Chris. tianized during the closing years of the thirteenth century.
 In October, 1902, was begun the com plete destruction of Finnish autonomy Before this Russian had been made the official language and a number of Fin. nish journals had been suppressed.
 Finland was frequently a battle ground during the long wars between Russia and Sweden, the border line be- Ing but 33 miles from St. Petersburg. Ii became part of Russia after the peace of Frederickstown, Sept. IT, 1909.

The Rich Mans Mite.

It is not often that miserliness gets such a straightforward rebuke as in the following case. In the early days of Primitive Methodism there trav- eled in England an eccentric minister named Neale, who was famous for his plain talking On one occasion he was preaching missionary sermons at a village so noted for it's small collec- tions that he determined to pass the plate himself.
 On his round he came to a farmer who was, as Mir. Neale well knew, the richest man in the place. This indi- vidual placed penny on the plate. MT. Neale stopped immediately and said in loud voice:
 "Take your penny out, man, take 1t out! Don't you see you've covered up your laborer's siXpense?"
 The rebuke was effectual, and a much more valuable coin was placed on the plate.

Econymy in Life-Saving.

James Rankin Young, eX-Congress- man, is responsible for this story about three drowning men. They were out in rowboat which was run down by an excursion steamer on the Delaware River. The accident occurred close to the shore, and the captain of the steamer immediately had lifeboat lowered.
 While the crew were pulling toward the struggling men, an excited indi- vidual on the dock yelled out:
 Save the red-headed man! What ever you do, save the red-headed man"
 All three men, however, were saved; and when they had been safely landed on the dock, the captain turned to the excited individual and said:
 "Why did you want to save the red-headed man in preference to the others?"
 Because" was the frank reply, "he owes me dollar and half."

How She Was Reduced.

She was middle-aged and stout. and when a course of dieting and strenu- ous exercise had failed to reduce her superabundant flesh she began to take Turkish baths. On reaching home after her initial experience, she gave the assembled family vivid account of her sensations while undergoing treatment
 "But," demanded the family, "did you succeed in losing any flesh?"
 q did, she returned, triumphantly. "almost-oh, yes, lost lot, really quite lot"
 The experienced family could see, however, that the stout woman was keeping something back, and pressed her for further details.
 "Well" she exclaimed, finally, If you will have the whole disgraceful truth, here it is: lot exactly seven eighths of pound; but the woman who gave me my bath lost three pounds and a quarterv

Great Men.

It is a matter of common observa- tion that at the passing of the great men of each generation there is a pes simistic feeling prevalent that "there were giants in those days" But the feeling has never had any warrant in the actual deficiencies of the oncoming generations. Orators have come and gone and statesmen have come and gone, and sometimes their immediate successors have not been discernible. But in time the men have emerged who have taken their places and who have improved upon the patterns they left.-De5 Moines Register.

The woodpecker has powerful little triphammer.
 The jaws of the tortoise and turtle are natural scissors.
 The framework of ship resembles the skeleton of a herring.
 The squirrel carries a chisel in his mouth, and the bee the carpenters. plane.
 A porcupine's bill is strengthened by ribs in the same way that the iron masts of modern ships are strengthened.

Athletic Women.

Anything that hardens boys and
 tends to make them more manly, more courageous, and more self-reliant must be good in itself," writes Stuart Laun- caster in the Boudoir. But in the
 case of girls it may safely be assert ed, without staying to prove the as- sertion, that 1t is altogether bad for them to become hard and muscular like their brothers, and the question
 at once arises-Are manly and 'wom- anly' directly contradictory terms? Or, although we all agree to despise the womanly man, can we admire the manly woman Physically, girls are unfitted by nature to stand the stress and strain of constant hard exercise" "

Her Awful Threat.

On the sand at Windsor Beach a little girl had a dipper full of water, with which she wet the sand and built marvellous things.
 The water in the dipper was drawn into its hollow handle, according to the habit of dippers, and, overbalanc- ing the bowl, tipped it over. When this had gone on at intervals of nearly an hour the little girl got angry. She sat up and put the dipper down hard. Then she said threateningly:
 ''If you do that again, I'll cut your tail off and make basin of you!'

Maine's Divorce Record.

In Maine divorce is almost as easily secured as in South Dakota, and every year the number of applicants for the legal sundering of marriage ties in- creases. In the year ended June 30, according to the report of Dr. A. C.. Young State register of vital statis- tics. there were decreed in Maine 946 divorces, or one divorce for every 6.6 marriages solemnized. Over 13 per cent of these divorces were given on the ground of intoxication. From 1892 to 1902 there were 7,087 divorces in the State.

Could Not Re Out,

Years ago there was a prominent lawyer of Chicago who was one of the quietest and most unobtrusive of men. It was said that he moved about noise lessly, with his hands meekly clasped on his breast and seraphic and per petual smile wreathing his counte- uance.
 A bon mot at his expense was cred ited to the late Emory Storrs, also of Chicago, as brilliant wit as he was an advocate.
 It appears that one day Storrs went to the meek lawyers office and was informed that he was out.
 But I know he is in" said Mir. Storrs quietly.
 q assure you, sir," responded the clerk, that he is not in.'
 q know better" insisted Storrs. "He must be In, for 1t Is so still in there"

Both Expired.

The charge was one of keeping a dog without license, and the defendant evinced tendency to interrupt the evi- dence. He was sternly hushed, but eventually his turn came. The clerk of the court turned to him:
 Do you wish the court to understand that you refuse to renew your dog li- censeY
 "Yes, but"
 "We want no buts. You must renew the license, or you will be fined. You know it expired on Jan. l."
 "Yes, but so did the dog. Do I have to renew him, too?''

PuZzling Signs.

1.-TWO strange signs in France and Italy have always puzzled me-" said a globe trotter. "One is the sign to be seen in front of every barber's. This is brass saucer, with semi-circular nick in one side. Why should nicked saucer signify barber shop? I have asked many people, but none could answer me.
 "The other sign waves before the shops of dyers and scourers. It con- sists of two long, slim curtains of cloth, one on each side of the door. The curtains may be of any color-red or blue or yellow-and they are eight or nine feet long and about four feet wide. What do they mean. wonder"

Gargoyles are quaintly formed heads.

Gargoyles are quaintly formed heads, faces or figures used in ancient times for decorative purposes and chiefly ap. piled as the terminals of waterspouts upon roofs or gables. The rain stream was arranged to flow through tho mouth, and the word gargoyle itself is an attempt to initiate the "gurgling" sound made by the water in passing through the throat of the grotesque monster.
 Gargoyles were the caricatures of mediaeval times. Many were carved by monkish masons, who took the op- portunity of handing on to posterity the distorted lineaments of their fel- lows or even of their superiors, recog- nizable as likenesses from some proml- nent characteristics.
 The famous gargoyles of Notre Dame in Paris are supposed to have had some such origin, while others of SUD- posedly the same origin are to be seen in churches throughout Brittany and Normandy as well as here and there in England.-London Telegraph.

The Attendants Retort.

During last summer there arrived at well-known historical castle party of tourists, among whom was one whose sole object seemed to be to make fun of every one and fool of himself. "I suppose this Is the cham Der where the groans are heard?" he remarked, as they entered dark, un- inviting room. No, sir" replied the attendant, there are no groans heard in this chamber, but if you will step to the window I can show you where the grooming Is done." What place Is that then?" inquired the tourist, who, after going to the window, was shown a little isolated building far below. "That's where you paid for admission, sir," replied the attendant.
