The words esquire" and gentle

would be rather puzzled to say in

them. In a recent county court case

points out, however. hat legal dis

Behind his hide and dingy fur
There wasn't an ounce of fat,
The men would cuf him. kick him sore.
And curse him out of breath
II dogs could reason. what they're for
This dog would welcome death.
The boys tied tin cans to his tail
And chased him down the street;
The fatter dogs took up his wall
Sleek dogs of the elite.
The housewives drove him from their
door
Whene'er he stole a bone:
And by the mournful look he wore

Along that way there came a man,
His form was bent low with age.
Street urchins scoffed and round him ran
To tease his helpless rage.
The housewives turned him from their

Whenever he begged a bone:
And by the mournful look he wore,

He met the dirty. dingy cur.
He strolled the appraised head:
He smoothed the rib lined, ruffled fur,

But crowding on his heels.

And neither lonely feels.

The Oleo Profile m.

The law regulating the coloring
of oleomargarine has reduced the
manufacture of this product two
thirds. The first year under the
operation of the law the output of
oleo was reduced one half. The
year before the law went into effect
there was manufacture and sold the
enormous amount of I26,3I2,4S2
pounds. Last year but 1907, $50
pounds were marketed. The ques-
ton of coloring effected the change.
The manufacturers were accustomed
to color the cleo yellow, so as to
look like butter. Whether it was
sold to retailers as butter or not it
certainly was bought by consumers
and used by them with the under
standing that it was butter. The
laws, while they do not forbid the
coloring, they put such heavy tax
on the colored article that it cannot
be sold in competition with butter at
a profit, while the uncolored is
taxed at only one quarter of a cent
pound. Of this forty-eight million
pounds sold only about I,ooo,o
was colored.

Shoot from their glorious spheres, and pass away
To darkle in the trackless vod-yet Time

Gbe Olo Gear,
BY GEORGE d. PRENTICE.

The dead year has
Gone from the earth forever. IT'S time
For memory and for tears. Within the deep,
Still chambers of the heart spectre dim,
Whose tunes are like the wizard voice of Time
Heard from the tomb of ages points it's cold
And solemn finger to the beautiful
And holy visions that have pass'd away,
And left shadow of their loneliness
On the dead waste of life.
That specter lifts
The coffin lid of hope, and joy, and love,
And, bending mournfully above the pale
Sweet forms that s1umber there, scatter dead flowers
Ger what has passed to nothingness. The year
Has gone, and, with it, many glorious throng
Of happy dreams. It's mark is each brow,
Its shadow in each heart In it's swift course
1t waved it's scepter Ger the beautiful,
And they not 1t lad it's pallid hand
Upon the strong man, and the naughty form
Is fallen, and the flashing eye is dim.
1t trod the halls of revelry, where throngd
The bright and joyous and the fearful wall
Of stricken ones is heard where erst the song
And reckless shout resounded. 1t passed DER
The battle plain. where sword and spear and shield
FIash'd in the light of midday-and the strength
Of serried hosts is shiverd and the grass
Green from the soil of carnage, waves above
The crushd and Wondering skeleton.
1t came
And faded like wreath of mist at eve;
Yet ere it melted in the viewless air,
1t heralded it's millions their home
In the dim land of dreams.
The fresh dust is chill many breast
That burned erewhile with fires that seemed immortal
Joys that leaped like angels from the heart
And wandered free in fe's glad morn, to look
Upon the flowers, the poetry of nature,
And 70 list the woven sounds of breeze and
Bird and stream upon the night air have been
Stricken down in silence to the dust.
The dream
OF high devotion, beauty's bright array,
And 1ife's Deep idol memories, all have passed
Like the cloud shadow a star-l1t stream,
Or a soft strain of music, where the winds
Are slumbering the billow
Revolutions sweep
Der earth, like troubled visions Ger the breast
Of dreaming sorrow; cities rise and SINK
Like bubbles on the water; fiery isles
Spring, blazing, from the ocean, and go back
To their mysterious caverns; mountains rear
To heaven their bald and blackened cl1fs, ana DO"
Their tall heads to the plains; new empires rise

Economy In Coal.

Coal is vital. About three big brain
ed men out Of 1000 know the size they
require for their furnaces-just about
three. The other 6,997 take anything
the dealer sends along, regardless Of
the number Of rooms to be heated, size
Of smoke flue. damper, draft, cold air
box, etc. Results: Fifty per cent more
coal used than is necessary and not
heat enough to go around.
Even the most ordinary intelligence
is not applied to the question Of coal
consumption at home with q view to
economy and efficiency. A dealer, look
ing at my furnace, said, Egg COAL"
and delivered fifteen tons. Egg coal!
Must have been gagged to ostrich eggs.
Some Of the Jumps were six inches
long and nearly three inches in diam
eter. Three tons a month kept the
Queen Anne or Elizabeth shack down
to about Sc degrees, and as a re-en-
forcement we bought gas radiators.
Coal bill $18 month, gas bill $14. My
neighbor after six years Of experience
and a modicum of brain power used
pea coal and had royal good fire night
and day; a ton and half month and
no gas. His furnace and all Of its
equipment were exactly like my own.
Sense and no sense In the aggregate
vast sums are wasted through igno-
rance Of how to use coal and gas

A Lesson of Life.

The life of most men will be sadden-
ed or lightened by the thing that may
chance to befall them. In the men
whom 1 speak of whatever may hap
pen is lit up by their inward life.
When you love, it Is not your love that
forms part Of your destiny, but the
knowledge Of self that you will have
found deep down in your love-this it
is that will keep you to fashion your
life. If you have been deceived it Is
not the deception that matters. but the
forgiveness whereto it gave birth In
your soul and the loftiness, wisdom,
completeness, of this forgiveness-by
these shall your life be steered to des-
tiny's haven Of brightness and peace,
by these shall your eyes see more
clearly than If all men had been faith
full. But If by this act Of deceit there
have not come more simpleness, loft1er
faith, wider range to your love, then
have you been deceived in vain.-Mau-
rice Maeterlinck.

The stones of the Rock creek bridge
