The Old Tin Can

1t was the ~strangest set Of circum-
stances, almost as though 1t had all
been planned out beforehand, as, In
deed, perhaps II was.
On one side of the town was the little
cabin In which lived Simon Greer. He
was half-starved and half-clothed and
scarcely ever spoke to any human be-
ing.
Such a wretched little old cabin as 1t
was! The ridge Of the roof had given
way and the roof Itself had sunk until
Mrs. Mcclure, who lived across the
common, said II was that caved in till
1t was all swaybacked, sure" How the
rain must have made It's way through
those broken shingles and soaked the
rOtting floor beneath. There had been
a window once nea that cranky and
lop-sided front door, but the glass was
gone and heavy boards were nailed
over 1t. 1t was a wretched old run
down house with a wretched old rum
down man occupying 1t.
Altogether, man and house seemed a
good match. Both had outlived their

BoYHooD HOURS

One night rs By the fire I sat
7 thought Of this and thought Of that,
Back many years my mind did Fly
And I saw 1t plain with memory's eye
That little log house old and gray
Where a little boy l used to play.
l seemed to feel myself once more,
Happy and gay, as in days Of yore.
I have tasted pleasures laughing cup,
I've drank the sparkling draught all up ;
I've been In love, I've felt the bliss
When love responds with kiss for kiss.
I've often been to the festal den
With wine and women and sportive men,
Where testing talk and ribald song
Rang loud and deep the whole night long.
But all the pleasures rare and fine,
Enjoyed when in our manhOod's prime,
Are nothing more than shams in truth
Compared with pleasures Of our youth,
When we as care-free, happy boys,
Played In the house-lot with our toys
Or in the meadow at the brook
We sat for hours with a tiny hook,
And, oh, our hearts would thrill and
bound
When a wriggling fish lay on the ground.
/ would give what the world can't hold
To be a boy as in days Of old,
To sit once more in the meadow grass,
And fish for the catfish and the bass.
But alas, alas, for me, alack,
The earth on its axis don't turn back,
And the happy hours the sweet, wild thrill
OF our boyhood days we long for still
Have gone from our life to come no more
And gladden. hearts as in days Of yore.

SOMETHING ABOUT STAMPS

We take so many things for granted
that at times. when we learn of the
amount of trouble a simple-appearing
thing has cost, we are amazed. For in
stance. how many. when they glibly stick
postage stamp on a letter, think of the
trouble that has been taken to put just
the right amount of mucilage on the
stamp? And yet the labor and care ex-
pended on the backs of stamps is consid-
erable. 1t is a most delicat, operation.
After the printing, great sheets of
stamps are passed under a roller from
which they receive a thin coating of gum;
then they are gradually dried over steam
pipes. OF course care is taken to make
the coating even. Tests are hourly made
to see that the heat and humidity are ex-
actly right. Then for each season of the
year allowance must be made. \ harder
gum for summer, a thinner one for win
ter In winter the gum is apt to crack
and care must be taken to prevent that.
A third grade for spring. and fall gum il
known as intermediate" So you see
even so small matter as a postage
stamp is an item of interest in the coun-
try'S workshop
