No more what may be, shall be, but what
was,
AS one recalls the cadence of a tune
To smile upon and bless young sweet

Remembering this face and that long

To fancy love to-day a colder thing
Than this great love you cherish to
the last.
To keep the friends grown faithfully old

Reluctant. when new hands knock at
your door,
To open; and if opening, withhold
The heart of which you once gave all

To dream in solitude with pipes and
books
Born old and sweet and good; to ask
for songs
They do not sing; to find your happiness
A homely grace that in your soul be-
longs.
To seek again some calm, forgiving god
You smiled at lightly in your other
youth;
Content to leave the mysteries of life
To mysteries of death-and wait the
truth.

THE COME AND SEE SIGN

This sign is permanently attached

What Does This Sign Mean?
1t means that public inspection of

It means that a permanent invita-

COMEDY IN THE DRUG STORE.
Serious Place Usually, But Funny
Things Happen Occasionally.

mo, can't say that we have a
large number of comic incidents hap
pening here daily said the drug
clerk. "As matter of fact, the drug
business is inclined rather to the Sc

'Hatsules?' l says. sort of puzzled

fall to what the little girl meant.
Yes, sir, hatsules,' she says, Just
like that, and then it began to perco-
late through my brain just what the
little girl did mean. and l says to her
then:

your and she says:
why, of course I do. Hatsules.
she said, and laughed right out as she
said it, OF course l mean capsules
How could ever I get it twisted up
like THAR
And so we put the medicine UP in
capsules and the little girl took it
and carried it away.
And really that wasn't the most
comic thing that ever happened in the
world; but, as l was saying, you don't
exactly expect to have funny things
happen in a drug store, and so that
call for hatsules kept us cheerful here

YeWs In Churchyards.

The object Of planting yews in
churchyards has been much disputed.
Some antiquarians have asserted that
the custom arose in order to supply
bows for the purpose of archery, but
this idea is in the highest degree un-
likely Gilbert White suggested that
one object might have been to serve
as "a screen to churches by their
thick foliage from the violence of
winds" They might also, he thought,
have been placed as shelter to the
congregation assembling before the
church doors were opened, or as an
emblem of mortality by their funeral
appearance. Perhaps rather, as the
learned Ray suggested. the yew was
planted in churchyards because, from
its evergreen foliage and the great age
to which it attained, it was regarded
as symbol of Immortality.

ACCEPTED VERDICT OF DOCTOR.
Great Painter Heard His Sentence
and Calmly Passed Away.

When Turner, the famous painter,
was dying at Chelsea he sent in de-
spair for a Ramsgate doctor who had
done him some good during his recent
stay at that place, and who, he hoped,
might take a different view of his case
from that which the London physi-
clans had expressed. The doctor ar
rived, and confirmed the opinion that
the artist had very little time longer
to live. wait a Bit" said Turner to
the doctor, you have had nothing to
eat and drink. yet, have your" mo,

ment; and there is some fine brown
sherry-don't spare it-and then
come up and see me again" The doc
tor refreshed himself and then came
back to the patient. Now, then, y
said Turner, what is it? Do you still
think SO badly of my case?" The
doctor regretfully said he could not
alter his former opinion. The artist
shook his shoulders, turned his face to
the wall and never spoke again!-

From a "MadriuaI."

Love at a touch will falter,
Love at a nod will stay,
But armies can not alter
One hair-breadth of his way.
He trembles at a rose-leaf,
And rushes on a spear.
A thorn-prick and he shows grief,
But death he can not fear.
He follows shadow faces
Into graveyards unawares,
He reaps in sterile places,
And brings home sheaves of tares
One tear will heal his anger;
He will wait and watch all day;
He SCOTS at toll and danger,
His last crust gives away.
He will strip off his raiment
To make his dear one gay,
And will laugh at any payment,
Having given all away
When care his heart engages,
And his rose-leaf gathers gray,
He will claim kiss for wages,
And demand a smile for pay.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

The latest suggestion is that Mr..
Bryan raise his $1,000, 900 campaign
fund by taxing every democrat in Yer
mont $500, 900 each.-St. Johnsbury Re-
publican.
Now that the election is over, and
there is no further use for it, Govern
or-elect Prouty might offer to bid off
the democratic platform for the lum-
Der there is in it. St. Johnsbury Re-
publican.
Isn't it possible to find another fat
office to confer on so faithful and eff
Gent a public servant as John W. Red
mond, supreme court reporter and
chairman of the state board of railroad
commissioners? By himself, clerk,
servant, or agent Redmond seems to
possess the possibilities of complete
Capitalization of state government, at
tanning the end so often sought. He
draws $3.50 salary and $500 clerk hire
as reporter, and $500 besides expenses
as chairman of the railroad commission
or nice little income of $3.50 year in
all from the state on account of the
two jobs. Inasmuch as Mr.. Redmond
admittedly carries on his double duties
rather better than two men could per-
form them, why not appoint commit
tee to investigate whether he cannot
also take on the remaining offices sand
salaries? Randolph Herald and News.

cones are from three to five inches
long, green and with scales open while
the cones are yet hanging on the tree
and the seeds then scatter. Where the
pine trees are being cut in September
it,is easy to pick the cones which may
ingsome cases have value equal to that
of the lumber from the tree. Usually
however, the cones must be.harvested
by climbing the trees and raking them
from the branches. In this way from
a peck to three bushels may be had
from a single good tree. The green
cones are then to be dried under cover
when the scales open and most of the
seed will fall out. WhenAfully dried
the balance may be threshed out with
a fail. A bushel Of cones would yield
about a pound of seed. The seeds are
about the size and color of buckwheat
and if handled rightly one pound
hsould start pine seedlings xenough to
plant several acres The management
of the State Nursery at the Expert
ment station, Burlington, will give

manufactured by it's blind. Some SEN
tlmental persons took the view that
this was undignified and succeeded in
having the superintendent of public
buildings and grounds order the cards
removed. T. E. Cleaveland, principal
of the institute, appealed to Mr.. Taft,
then secretary of war and within
whose jurisdiction came the office of
public buildings and grounds. 1t took
only few words to convince the sec

benefit of this privilege, and the cards
were again placed on sale in the mon
