For "THE UNION"
SEQUEL TO WINTERS HARP"
BY EDWIN HIGGINS.


CThe old Oak at waverly has been blown down
by a storm.)
The bloom and leaf are strewn and dead,
The daI kuess weeps. the stars have fed,
he minstrel sweeps an ancient harp,
With dirge of storm. In gloom OF dark.
His voice, though old, is ever young.
What power can stay the North Winds tongue
The harp once young is SCARED and old.
'Tis shfvering In the ice and cold.
ancient harp thine hour hath come,
oak, for thee beats muff1ed drum,
The tempest blasts In winters sky
Are telling thee that thou must die.
Now PROSTATE on the ground and cold
The drifting flakes in robes enfOld,
The ancient harp-the century oak =
His trembling lips with wisdom spoke
~ only change my MODE of song,
For to the ayes belong;
My frailest leaf shall heavenward rise
To bask in starry depths Of skies.
"O'er crested waves of restless deep.
When blllOws roll and storm clouds sweep,
Ny keel of oak through tempests dark
Will safely ride like Noahs ark.
"In door and beam of cotter's home,
In stately hall and princely dome,
In staff that bears my country's flag
I'll sing from vaie tO mountain crag.
I'll sing at eve in baby's crib
In solemn dirge in coffin lid.
In storied fanes where organs peal,
A nd saints and sinners iowly kneel.
mo part is lost. all shall be blest;
A seasOn-some in gentle rest
In frag rant earth, on mothers breast,
To live again at Springs behest,
'Some day I'll greet eternal Spring,
My dearest, sweetest Offering bring,
Bow low to Mercy's gracious rod,
Lay harp and song at feet of God.
sIn every change and mood of mine.
Gods tender love doth ever shine:
Re's guiding me through calm or strife,
On and up TO the better life.

THE DOCTORS WIFE WAS souELcHED.

Late one night" remarked the
doctor, 'smy wife decided that l
should not makt any more calls that
night, but soon after the telephone
bell in our bedroom sounded. She
went to the phone and assured the
party that 1 was out.
asked to suggest something to
calm baby patient my wife turned
her head and asked what would ad-
wise. told her to tell the folks to
give fifteen drops of paregoric. Then
came the inquiry:
"'What shall I do if the paragoric
does not work?' Again my wife look
ed in my direction and 1 said "Give
a few drops of laudanum. Once more
my wife repeated my advice. Vexed,
the party at the other end OF the wire
came back with:
"'The next time the doctor is away
from home, if you have occasion to
use the telephone and there is man
in your bed room, please have the
decency to put your hand over the
receiver of the telephone when you
are speaking to him. F"

A well-known investor recently purchased
valuable warehouse on prominent street in
Baltimore. The property had been owned by
successive members of the same family lwell
known in Baltimore county, for over one hum
dred and four years. and the title was supposed
20 be very simple one. The purchaser employ

THE ExrRavAGANT GIRL.

How many housekeeping women
are always in debt to the grocer and
perhaps the butcher as we'll !? They
run a bill and have the purchases
marked down in book, and on this
plan great deal more is bought than
if cash were paid. Many women
merely send a certain sum ON account
each Saturday, and they are always
in the butchers and grocer's debt.
Under these circumstances they do
not question either the price or the
quality. They go on blindly and
waste SIS or $40 week just in this
one way. Men are often heavy speu-
ders, and often they gamble, but they
get a return of some sort for their
money in enjoyment or in sport.
They rarely put money into the pock-
cts of tradesmen as women do, says
Kate Masterson in the Philadelphia
Press. Women, like SO many saw
ages, are caught by the glitter of bar
gains and fill their homes with hide
ously ugly stuff. They buy clothes
when the season comes around with
out going over their present wardrobe
and ascertaining what it is they real
ly need. Frequently new gown is
purchased when there is one already
on hand that would do nicely for an
other season, but the new goWl
the newest thing, and it is putson for
all occasions, even in the rain, and by
and by it hangs, half w IN and shah
by, with the others. So the extrava-
CANT girl accumuiates supply of use
less hats, wells, gloves, hosiery, none
of it really worn out, but none Of it
fit to pack for a journey on short
notice, as man can always do.

THE ART OF IRONING.

Some valuable instructions in the
art of ironing for the amateur or lg-
norant professional are given in re-
cent monthly. Too many people iron
carelessly and stupidity, when little
time and labor expended on the care
of the irons,- and system in arranging
things for the work before it is begun
will greatly lessen the difficulty and
shorten the operation. A good light,
a clear, bright fire, when gas is not
used, a good set of irons, not too
light, and not too heavy for slender
arms, an ample board covered with
blanket and clean cloth sewed or
tackled, not laid on; with these mate
srials and patience, care and endur-
ance, any body can, with little prac-
tice, turn out as good work as a laun-
dry. The irons must be kept in good
condition, frequently rubbed with
brick dust and oil, and polished on a
piece of carpet or coarse cloth every
time they are used. And they must
never be allowed to rust.
Some fastidious people have an OBJ
lection to having their underclothes
ironed at all, for they know the care
less ways of inferior domestics, who
use dirty irons, mix clean and soiled
garments, and leave the clothes hang
ing in a smoky, fy-ridden kitchen
for days at time. One particular
woman has her lingerie brought up
to her from the outside line, sweet
and fresh from the winds of heaven,
and prefers to wear them with only
little pulling out of the frills, but for
most of us that would seem too I'm
finished and rough. So teach your
maids to be neat, clean and quick
about these things. Of course,
clothes need to be aired thoroughly,
but they are not improved by lying
around the kitchen or laundry too
long. A simple wrinkle is to make
your iron holders round in shape, so
that they do not hang over at the
corners. A clean cloth at the right
hand is the proper thing on which to
test its heat. Cotton and muslin gar
ments should be evenly damp or they
will not take smooth gloss, and to
accomplish this purpose clean cloth
and bowl of cold water are the best
combination.
THE DRIVER of the So, 900 car
picked his course slowly along the
rough highway.
And the sad eyed agriculturalist
sat on the fence and watched his pro-
gress.
"You let your roads get into an
atrocious condition." growled the
man.
Its the only way we can protect
ourselves from these pesky automo-
bjlists, retorted the agriculturist.

A GUMsHOE DIPLOMAT.

"Will you give me a good dehni-
ton of diplomacy" asked reporter
of city merchant,
Certainly; but instead I will give
you an illustration" replied the di-
plomat. "There was acertain tenant
farmer who, in great distress of mind,
waited upon his landlord one morn-
ing. 4 have bad news to report to
you, he said. The landlord. who
was reading his newspaper, looked
up with frown. Bad news! ! re-
turned he. Bad news of what sort ?
The tenant twisting his rather dusty
cap nervously in his huge hands,
said: "A terrible sort, sir. Your
big black bull and my black bull got
to fighting this morning, and my black
bull gored yours to death. I will
hold you responsible replied the
landlord, excitedly. But wait a
moment, returned the tenant. You
can't say that l am to blame. The
two bulls got together, and they
fought, and one is killed. That IS
all there is to say to it. How am |
to blame?' AS a justice of the
peace, said the landlord reaectively,
Il know the law, and it says in plain
terms that the owners of dangerous
animals are responsible for the dam
age they do. Now, your bull killed
mine, so you must make good the
loss to me. That is the law All
right; will stand by the law, said
the tenant, in true diplomatic style !;
but was guilty of making slight
mistake when l said that my bull
killed yours. 1t was yours that kilt
ed mine. >"
ONE SUNDAY Philadelphia young
lady had her dearest friend, a Bryn
Mawr girl, come to spend the day and
evening. Incidentally, quite a number
of young men dropped in, and so
charmed were they with the taking
ways of the college maiden and her
naive manner of showing her entire
superiority to the commonplace, ma
terial things of life that nearly every
man fingered to take tea.
The young girl of the house had
the creamed oysters bubbling in the
chafng dish and the salad nicely
dressed. Suddenly, practical hostess
that she was. she whispered to her
college friend:
ooh, dear Whatever am to do !
I do believe that there isn't enough
bread for all these men ~
A languid interest shone in the
dreamy eyes of the Bryn Mawr girl.
"Oh, never mind the bread, dear, ="
said she; "let's have toast"

Vaudeville at the Phillips.

That there is a wide field from which
to draw vaudeville performers is evil
denced by the bill that Manager Muir
ray announces for this week at the
New Phillips, as it will be seen that no
act announced, except the illustrated
song and motion pictures, is in any
way a duplicate of the bill just
closed. Appearances indicate that the
program for this week will be found
fully as strong as those of the past few
weeks and that is no idle compliment,
as they have ranked unusually high.
Manager Murray will run his house
through the entire summer and in or
der to get patronage through the hot
weather must have the best of bills and
that is what he is providing. Below is
the program in full for this week, and
it will be presented with the usual
