One evening at dinner Jean Inge,ow
confessed that though she had often
written poems about nightingales, she
had never heard one sing. Every ere
commented on this as extraordinary,
and we agreed that poetess' imagina-
ton was a marvellous gift, but we de-
termined that not another night should
pass without remedying this grlevious
omission. 1t was in May, and about
o'clock we led forth Miss Inge.ow
to the lime avenue, where the night
ingales were singing in scores-we all
held our breath to listen as one after
another far and near, broke into song.
Presently Miss Ingelow asked, anxious

LEGEND OF THE RED ROSE.

One day within garden fair
Love found maiden sleeping;
June sunbeams tangled in her hair;
The sentry lilies keeping
With rival purity and grace
Their loving watch above her;
While DER the happy dream RS face
The whispering zephy-j hover.
Love tweed an arrow with a kiss
And sent it passion-laten,
With cunning hands thct could not miss,
To wake the sleeping maiden.
IL pierced her heart, she woke and smiled
With glances sweet and tender;
II made a woman of ..e child:
Love- morning dawned l. splendor.
She felt the arrow IN her breast,
She s6w loves empty uuive-.
The slender shaft she deeper pressed
And smiled upon the giver.
Love beckoned her, she rose Nth pride,
To fly with her bold wooer;
He pledged her she should be his bride,
No lover would be truer.
A voice . .oke the dreamy air,
A feeble father sought her;
She turned from love in deep despair,
To prove a faithful daughter.
80 come" Grid love, "thy life shall be
Encrowned with JOY and beauty"
laks up tiny cross ana follow me,
Commanded stern-eyed duty.
She wrenched the arrow from her breast,
Her heart clung to it broken;
She laid them at his feet and blessed
Her first and last love token.
A glory shone within her eyes,
She clasped the hand of duty;
Heaven saw the noble sacrifice
And filled her soul with beauty.
Love. took his silver bow aad mad,
A grave: then, softly weeping,
In it her heart and arrow laid
And lett them IN times keeping.
The hlies, bending DER the mound,
Mourned for the heart they cherished;
And when the broy-. leave strewed the
gI and,
Upon its rave they perished,
The wind grew hoarse and ceased to shrek
Among the barren bowers;
The sunbeams kissed dame natures cheek,
Her b,usbes bloomed in flowers.
One orr upon the moGs-grown mound,
The garden air perfuming,
With tiny arrowheads set round
They Iound loves red rose blooming.

AM Anelent steam Man.

There are host of authorities on
hydraulics and mechanics that could
be quoted to support the assertion that
the steam engine is not modern in
yention. Carpini in the account Of his
travels. A. ID. 1926, describes a species
of aeophile, or steam, engine made in
the form OF a man. This contrivance
was filled with "infiammable liquid"

GOING HOME.

We said that the days were evil,
We felt that they might be few,
For low was our fortunes Level,
And heavy the winters grew;
But one who had no possession
Looked up to the azure dome,
And said, in his simple fashion,
Dear friends, we are gong nome!
This world is the same dull market
That wearied its earliest sage;
The times to the wise are dark yet,
But so hath been many an age.
And rich grow the toiling nations,
And red grow the battle spears,
And dreary with desolations
Roll onward the laden years.
What need Of the changeless story
Which time hath so often told,
The spectre that follows glory,
The canker that comes with gold
That wisdom and strength, and honor
Must fade like the far sea foam,
And death is the only winnerE-.
But, friends. we are going homel
The homes we had hoped to. rest in
Were open to sin and strife,
The dreams that our youth was blest in
Were not for the wear OF life;
For care can darken the cottage,
As well as tne palace lcartu,
And birthrights are sold for pottage,
But never redeemed on earth.
The springs have gone by in, sorrow,
The summers were grieved away,
And ever we feared tomorrow,
And ever we blamed to-day.
In depths which the searcher sounded,
On hills which the high heart clomb,
Have troubles and toll abounded--
But, friends, we are going home!
Our faith was the bravest builder
But found not stone OF trust;
Our love was the fairest glider,
But lavished its wealth on dust.
And tim- hath the fabric shaken,
And fortune the clay hath shown,
For much they have changed and taken,
But nothing tEat was our own.
The light that to us made baser
The paths which so many choose,
The gifts there was found no place for,
The riches we could not use;
The laart that when life was wintry
Found summer in strain and tome,
With those to our kin and county
Dear friends, we are going homel

STORM IN CANADA
EASTERN ONTARIO SUFFERS FROM
 WIND AND RAIN.
Chatham su.tains Heavy Property Loss, But 1t is Not Known Thpt my Person Was Killed-Wires
 0re Down.

Detroit Mich. June s.--Eastern On- tario was swept by terrific wind and rain storm this afternoon and as a re- suit all wire communication between this city and Canadian points east of Chatham, about sixty miles from here, was cut of. Chatham suffered severe property loss from the storm, which unroofed houses. blew down trees, fell ed wires and filled the streets witt debris; but no loss of life resulted and no one was seriously hurt. Consider able property damage is reported from small towns and farms between here and Chatham.
 A torrential rain storm accompanies by forty mile wind swept Detroit just before o'clock this evening. The rainfall in less than an hour measured 1 a6 inches and the wind in seven min utes sprang from gentle breeze to forty miles an hour.
 Trees were felled causing severe dam ages to wires and putting several hun dred telephones out of comm ssion. Sew eral street car lines were held up by broken trolley wires for a time during the busiest hour of the evening. Un- confirmed reports of loss of life on the river were current tonight. One of these reports was that eight lives were lost on the river near Wolfs, a resort on the Canadian shore a mi.e above the head of the Belle Isle; another was that child had been picked up by the wind and swept off the Belle Isl, bridge.

MRS. CHADwICk's DEPOSITION.
Finances Highpriestess Refuses to Tel
 of Earlx Life.

Columbus O., June S.--According to information here. the deposition of Mrs. Cassie Chadwick, the high priestess of finance" now in the Ohio penitcntiary, which was taken in May in the suit brought by the Jutte heirs of Pittsburg against bankers Friend and Hofstott of that city, is not as sensational as was anticipated.
 It was expected that Mrs. Chadwick would tell something of her early life, but this she carefully refrained from doing and refused to answer to any questions along that line. She said she first met Banker Friend In 1901, and since that time she visited him at At lantic City, New York and Pittsburg. She says she told Friend of her deposit of $5.00G, ,000 worth of securities with Ira Reynolds of Cleveland and exhibited to him a certificate showing that the deposit had been made.
 It was arranged that Friend was to act as her trustee and dispose of the securities. He loaned sat divers times money amounting to $2S1,000, but he took her note for s7S4.000. The secu- ritles deposited with Reynolds were to be turned over to Friend, who was to allow Mrs. Chadwick from $30,000 to $40, 900 per annum for living expenses and then was to reimburse himself for the money advanced.
 Mrs Chadwick claimed that Friend frequently referred to Jutte. the Pitts burg millionaire. who took his own life at Atlantic City. There is nothing in the deposition showing where Mrs. Chadwick got the securities.
 She turned over to the attorneys for the Jutte heirs copies of letters sent to her by Friend and memoranda of all her financial transactions with him.
 Mrs Chadwick mas prepared state mont which she claims she win give to the public when the Jutte Friend case Is ended

 You will not think that am nraach. | ins' will you.

 There are girls who are charming rom nome. but very inconsider- ate and irritable with those they love pest. Every birthday should enahIa us 10 be more self-controlled and more sehtie ana lovable than we used to be n household I know there are threa sisters; Louise is unselfish and love ": Betty Is preoccupied with her own anairs and sees everything from her own point of view; Maria ia nartiaIIy an invalid and Is what her moth ,r calls fractious" The last expression means good deal to me It shows me mat Maria's disposition Is to break the peace around her instead of preserving it as perfect whole. Louise Is the darling of this trio
 '."hhah hore, a writer very popular Tn her day, but at present almost for gotten. wrote a bit of verse that fits In to my birthday talk:
 Since trifles make the sum of human
 things.
 And half our misery from our fo,bles
 springs:
 Since life's best joys consist in peace and ease,
 And though but few can serve. vet al, can please:
 Oh. let the ungentle spirit learn from hence
 small unkindness is great ofrense." Another bit of advice may be par- doned. have been in homes where q great deal of attention was paid to Susie's and Jenny's birthdays. but nothing whatever made of the birth days of Tom and Dick. Boys care Just as much about love and happv times at home as girls do. and sisters should look out for their brothers and make their birthdays red-letter days,
 Then father and mother. who are always thinking and planning for you and making sacrifices that you may be well educated, well dressed and able to go here and there. for visits and journeys, should be remembered by their juniors. On fathers birthday. see that there Is an extra touch on the table. a flower beside his plate, and little gift from every one As for mother, too much cannot be done for her, since she Is the good angel of her children's lives. If there are old peo- pie in the house, do something extra for them on their birthdays
 The sum of the matter is this: A birthday Is golden opportunity to make somebody happy and to take a fresh start in unselfish behavior on your own part.

 From personal observation l know that sanitary conditions at abatoirs, where this bureau maintains inspec- ton, while not always satisfactory, are much superior to those at the average establishment without inspection.
 Further, he says he knows that many diseased animals are not shipped to market centers. where inspection is maintained. He advises the most rapid extension of the inspection pos sible and says the demand Tor inspec- tion is much greater than can De supplied.
 "It might be we'll to state,' he says "that in any slaughter house. no mat ter how sanitary the conditions may be, there Is much that is revolting 10 one unaccustomed to such sights and one who visits them must expect 10 witness scenes of blood and offal ana to have his nostrils offended by disa- greeable odors, as well as to see fine- iy dressed beef and mutton and tempt ing hams and bacon"

His argument was lengthy and technical and in 1t he took the stand that the hackers contract with the Burlington Railway was valid that the packers did not intend to violate the interstate commerce act and the intent must be considered.
 When court resumed in the afternoon Judge McPherson continued the cases until Tuesday morning next. when he announced he would instruct the jury. fudge McPherson said the case deserV- ed more attention than he had been able to give to it and he wanted more time in which to study 1t.
