4 coon EXAMPLE.

There are rich and prominent men in this country who do not yet feel above the law Mir Melville E. Ingalls, presi- dent of the Big Four railroad, has set 8 good example to his fellow-citizens by his promptness in acquiescing in tAe request of the chief of police of Cin- cinnati that the Queen City Club, one of the prominent social organizations of that city, should obey the law re- garding the sale of liquor. The Queen City Club has bar which has been kept open as long as the members of the organization desired to patronize 1 it, and when MT. Ingalls,, complying with the request of the chief of police, ordered it closed at midnight, some of the members raised protest. MT. In- gals promptly presented his resigna- tion adding that he could not see how the membership in a club carried the privilege of evading the law"
 | We'll put More respect for and less evasion of law is about as much needed in this country just now as anything. And rich and prominent men can help by showing that they consider the law a good thing even if they do have to
 be subject to it sometimes when it is Einconvenient.

The old Home.

You ask what charm invests the quaint
 old country home, That I can leave my city home and
 dearest ones, With happy face and gladstone steps to
 hither come? You say the caves are weather-worn
 and grey with age. The beating storms of many years it's
 sides deface- Nor can there anywhere a modern sign
 be traced. An iron knocker hangs upon the oaken
 door; Its echoes waken memories of those
 gone before, Whose dear and loving welcome I may
 hear no more. And when you enter, rooms and hall will seem but small. The windows almost lattieed-pane0,
 the ceilings low, For grand'ther house was built a
 hundred years ago. The vista of long years down which
 wistful gaze, Show sheridan and Chippendale: un-
 used they stand For those who sat or wrote have
 sought the Upper Land But to the blessing of these Silent
 rooms l come, The gentle honor kindly sympathy and
 thought Of those who lived beneath It's roof,
 blessing brought That fingers yet within its walls, and
 this feel; This draws ms with potent charm to
 come agG n To find 3 peacefulness I seek elsewhere

"DIG."

You dive into your pocket and you dig nickel up The moment you are on the morning car; You dig to buy paper, and then later on again
 You pungle up the price of cigar; You meet the chronic borrower and, hypnotized by him, You let go of a dollar round and big; And throughout the busy day There is something you must pay For the motto of your daily life is Dig, Dig, Dig Oh, the waiting stock of letterheads upon your office desk!- For halfa hundred bills are coming due; Polite in tone the messages-all invi- tations brief Inviting you to pungle up few, When homeward in the evening-pay- ing as you go along You find your wife in a brand new rig
 You rave in your despair For you know the picture fair Is an illustrated message labelled Dig, Dig, Dig!" The Christmas time is over-but the paying time, alas! The paying time is only just begun; Your hand into your pocket goes me- chanically, when You meet a man-you think he has a dun; Somewhere is peace and restfulness, with hooking birds a-swing Upon the very topmost waving twig; But there's no peace for you
 When the bills are falling due, And the telephone is singing to you, DIG, DIG, DIG"

$2,615.' On probing into these ''nliscel- laneous expenditures, MT. Tawney found that hidden away in them was an item of $2,615 for an oil portrait of MT. Knox.
 In crticising this expenditure mem bers of the House brought out the fact that when they desired to honor the speaker by hanging his portrait in the Capitol the cost of the picture is de- frayed by subscriptions taken among the members themselves. The difference between this method and that practice ed by executive officials was sharply contrasted. Petty officials, temporari- ly dressed in official authority, have a mania for leaving portraits of them- selves stuck about the walls of public buildings. This custom was started some years ago by ordering portraits of cabinet officers, but it has been ex- tended to include assistant secretaries, heads of bureaus, chief clerks and oth- CT minor employees, to degree that has excited amazement And the govern ment Is made to pay for these monu. ments to the vanity of office holders The House proposes to put check on such expenditures in the future, and the public that does the paying will commend the House if it checks it.

WALK THROUGH THE WINTER
 WOOD.

The thermometer stood at ten below as knesling, l frightened the last strap of my snow-shoes, pulled on my nit tens, and started for a tramp through the woods. At each breath drawn through the nostrils, the sharp air bit like ammonia fumes. Absolutely pure, too, it was, for the ground was hidden under two feet of spotless unbroken snow The sun had just risen, there was no wind, and the snow was firm but not glassy--the snow-shoeing was perfect,
 As I entered the woodland, some- thing moved in the undergrowth; heard 1t, for the movement was close to me, but I could not see living thing. Quietly, I stood there, watch- ing, and presently I saw bright, dark eye, something larger than a shoe-but- ton, watching me closely from beneath the lower branches of white pine. At first I could not see the owner of that eye, but bye and by I made out a wobbly nose, and some dark lines which proved to be the outlines of a pair of ears. Then I saw that it was a snow-siloe hare in his white winter coat, which rendered him practically invisible on winter day like this. I moved quietly toward him, and then he jumped, and went away in a ser ies of wonderful leaps, and was soon lost to view among the trees. But this shallow trail remained, sharply out l lined on tiie hard surface of the snow. The mark of each of his four feet was distinct and separate, and together they formed a perfect letter "Y.' The 1 imprints of the two small fore feet, one directly in front of the other, made the stem of the letter, and something in advance of these the much larger marks left by the hind feet, the toes pointing outward, made the branches of the 'Y,"
 Not caring to follow the trail of the hare, I kept on my way, and before long came to a level space quite clear of trees and somewhat higher than the ground about it. When I was quite near it, small, dark, mouse-like crea- ture hurried across this open space, and was followed immediately by an- other Evidently they were shrews and as they disappeared at once, I was naturally curious to see what they had been doing and where they had gone to. The first thing to do, of course was to find their footprints; but alasl this first thing was what I couldn't do. The snow was so firm that the l made no impression which was visible to my eyes, whatever a microscope might have revealed. To see the trail

uuussssAf pROPER MOYE.

Britannia continues to rule the wave, and she means to continue to do it. So she is on the lookout for anything that will improve the condition of her navy. For instance, the British Admiralty of ficials are becoming more and more in- pressed with the absurdity of the ap- parent fact that nearly all men learn to swim except those who go to sea for living. They are resolved to put an end to it, if possible, so far as the royal navy is concerned, and have just issued an order in which they impress upon commanding officers the importance of taking advantage of every opportunity to provide the necessary swimming in- struction in view of the large propor- tion of men in the fleet who have no notion how to keep themselves afioat in case of accident. Instruction is to be given under proper supervision either from the ship or from boats for half an hour daily whenever the state and tenn perature of the water permit. Advant- age is to be taken of every opportunity to send parties of non-swimmers away for instruction, Bathing, however, Is only to take place when the tempera- ture of the water is above 53 degrees Fahrenheit, and men under instruction are not to remain in the water more than ten minutes at any one time un- less the temperature is above 60 de- grees Fahrenheit. The admiralty thinks that all men should be able to swim 100 yards with clothes on. Life saving is also to be taught to the more proficient.
 It really does seem that people wg1o live on the sea ought to know how to swim. It might also be mentioned that those who live on land ought to know how to walk

GATNTNG ON TIT.

It has long been plain that with all the new cures" there are nobody needs to be sick long, and there are indica- tions that by and by nobody will need to be sick at all. Furthermore and bettermore, all may soon be able to live as they please without fear. Professor Luff, who is said to be the greatest liv- ing authority on gout and kindred evils, says that such articles as red meats, sugar, jam, bread, fruit, etc, which have been prohibited food for persons suffering from the various forms of fibrositis, are perfectly whole some, if they do not produce indiges- tion; that uric acid is a harmless by product of the human economy which has been most shamefully exploited as a dangerous poison" and that 1t has no part in the production of any of these morbid conditions" So that any body may eat what he pleases so long as he does not overfeed himself.

RICH. BUT ExTBAYAeANT

This is a rich country, but it has
 been buying good many things it
 doesn't really need, and that, we be-
 lieve, is not good management. It ap- pears that it has been buying portraits
 of officials in a way that is hardly de- fensible, The other day Chairman Tawney of the Appropriation Commit tee of the House asked the House to vote a deficiency appropriation to cov- CT the cost of a portrait of former At torney General Knox, which was order ed by Mr Moody. In defending himself and the appropriation MT. Tawney made some interesting revelations. The cost of the portrait was S2,615. The De- partment of Justice attempted to cover up the purchase of the portrait by asking for deficiency appropriation for miscellaneous expenditures, in- cluding telegraph. fuel, light, foreign postage, labor, repairs to buildings, care of grounds, books of reference, periodicals and other necessaries direca- ly ordered by the attorney general,
