hogs or roosting like fowls? 1t is the
gentle influence of winds, rich laden
with fragrance gathered from differ
ent surroundings visited upon an ap-
preciative home. Let us recall another
picture. Passing along winding
road, under the shadow of large
mound came to drive edged with
two neat stone walls, over which here
and there strayed wild vine. Turn

over a rustic gateway climbed the
wild ivy; along the walls were beau
tiful flower stands made of old stumps
and tree forks. Over the door twined
the honeysuckle while up the side and
corners of the house and along the
caves clung and hung in festoons that
queen of beauty, the five-leaf ivy. In
the rear of the house murmured a
brook as the waters rushed over a lit
tie obstruction made by throwing in
loads OF stone. Inside of the house

CASTRO pAIKs.

Our effervescent elections are not to be the only matters of vital worldly importance to be decided during the early past of this month. November first was the date set by the govern ment of The Netherlands as marking the time-limit for Venezuela to revoke the decree of Dictator Castro of May 14th, which prohibited the tranship- ment of goods for Venezuelan ports at Caracao, a decree which has proved very obnoxious to the people of that island. This decree President Castro has fatly refused to revoke Indeed, it has even been reported that on October 24th Castro had ordered the mobilization of 50O00 troops to he ready on November 2d. There have also been rumors of great numbers of mercenary troops crossing over the borders to Castros aid from Colombia and that there has been great activity at the Venezuelan forts where large quantities of powder and shells have been received. on the other hand the Dutch warships In the Carribean waters have been holding extended target practices and have succeeded in making phenomenally good scores
 Whether all this talk and all these preparations will finally result in all actual conflict is still largely a matter of conjecture. But at the same time 1t is undoubtedly an open secret ir diplomatic circles the world over that there would be few tears shed by the powers did the Dutch turn to ant give Castro such a licking as they have shown their ability to administer in the past to delinquents of Castro, kind.

These are the days the spindles cease, And all is as before One wide realm filled with mighty
