THEY GROW.
Coed Humor and cheerfulness from
Right Food.

+
Cheerfulness is ske sunlight. It dis
pels the clouds from the mind as sun
light chases away the shadows of
night.
The good humored man can pick
up and carry off load that the man
with a crouch wouldn't attempt to
lift.
Anything that interferes with good
health is apt to keep cheerfulness and
good humor in the background. A
Washington lady found that letting
cofree alone made things bright for
her. She writes:

FARMER AND
PLANTER,
WELL KEEP THE LITTLE FARM.

WnlI, Jane, 1 guess We'll keep the
place,
We've lived here, you and I,
Upon this little farm so long,
Let's stay here till we die.
You know l thought I'd sell it once,
To Jones, or Deacon Brown,
And take the money we had saved
And buy a house in town.
But when the buds begin to swell,
And grass begins to grow,
Somehow it doesn't seem to me
I ought to let it go.
I love the crimson clover,
And the fields of waving corn;
The quiet, balmy evening
And the fragrant, dewy morn;
The pink and snowy blossoms
Hanging on the apple trees;
The chirping of the crickets,
And the humming of the bees,
love the summers honey breath,
The blushing buds of May;
The teeming autumn, rich with fruit
The scent of new-mown hay;
The noisy babble of the brook,
And laughter of the rill;
The lowing herds upon the heath,
And f1ocks upon the hill.
And when I think of leaving all,
It fills me with alarm;
So, after all, guess it's best
To keep the little farm.

upper story the headroom question is
taken care of by the natural slope of
the roof.
: When you look at this house and
consider the size you wonder how it
is possible 10 get four bedrooms in
this amount of space. Of course, you
have an advantage in working with
a square plan; it lays out better than
any other style of house in regard to
the rooms, but there is more in the
general careful layout of rooms.
Another very great advantage in
this style of house is in the heating,
Six tons of hard coal will keep this
house comfortable all winter, pro-

lean money, 1t may bs seen that the
prices of Japanese theaters, by COM
parison with those of Europe or Amer
lea, are very reasonable.
At this juncture our ears are as
sailed by the most heart-rending
sounds that chill the blood in our
veins. 1t is the European orchestra!
The smiling guide tells us: Euro

people like very much!"
Who's meddled NIT my drom-

"Oi did," said Paddy. Here we've
been for two hours tryin' to pull it
apart, an Oh did it in wan minut!"
A sharp noise, made by striking two
pieces of hard wood together an
nounces that the next act is about
to begin. The intervals between acts
are usually about ten minutes.
AS the curtain is drawn aside, the
pieces of wood tap together faster
and faster, until the stage is dis
closed.
This time it is a house, the front
open, chrysanthemums growing about
the door. At intervals the shrill note
of an insect is heard.

the floor; he is in state of intoA,, ca.

tie in front of him.
His father-in-law is pleading with
him to grant divorce to his daugh-
ter, as his constant fntoxication and

The drunkard refuses, and the scene
between the men is a powerful one,
knowledge of the language being un.
necessary in order to appreciate their
really great acting.
The revolving stage, used in all
| japanese theaters, is seen in this act
as the entire stage turns, bringing into
view a different scene, the old mans
house.
The play proceeds through several

rather a disjointed manner, and with.

Just before the last act, the ushers

Edward r. Emerson, the president
Of the American Wine Growers asso-
citation, came from Washingtonvflle to
New York the other day and Iunched
in Broadway cafe with an editor.
Mr.. Emerson, naturally, is a con-
noisseur of wines. The editor deems
himself something of connoisseur,
too, and introduced Mr.. Emerson with
some pride to Rhine wine, pre-
sumably Of the famous '95 vintage.
WELL" he said, how do you like
this Rhine wine, Mr.. Emerson? De-
licious, don't you think?"
"Not bad" said Mr.. Emerson, "only
I fancy there's trife too much Rhine
in it."

An Instructor in the Military Acad-
envy at West Point was once assigned
to conduct about the place the visit
ing parents of certain cadet.
After a tour Of the post, the proud
and happy parents joined the crowd
assembled to witness evening parade,
a most imposing spectacle. The
march past aroused the father of the
cadet to high pitch Of enthusiasm.

for low, dark cellars, but with our
advanced knowledge of building
houses and our facilities for keeping
them comfortable we have done away
with many old-fashioned notions.
We can now make a cellar high

mace. You can waste coal as easily as
anything else, and this is question
that should be taken into considera-
ton when house plan is selected.
You only build house once, but you
have it to heat each winter afterward,
and some of the winters are provok-
ingly long and cold.
There is a grade cellar entrance to
this house that is appreciated by
those who make proper use of a cell
lar. A good hou3ekeeper objects to
having cellar supplies carried through
the kitchen, and you can't blame her.
A woman spends much time and labor
to keep a kitchen clean and she very
properly objects to having mud
tracked in from the garden or ashes
from the cellar.
A good many cellars have outside
entrances with slipping trap doors over
the steps, but this costs more than a
grade door, and 1t is not so satisfac-
tory. The snow has habit of piling
on this sloping door and sometimes it
n1elts and freezes at the bottom so
you can't open the door without the
aid of an ak, but this grade entrance
door Is never bothered that way; the
door also Is protected from storms by
the projection above.
This house is set up well above
grade, which gives an opportunity to
set in deep cellar windows. Old
fashioned builders never could get 2
cellar deep enough to stand up in. 1t
is dificult to say whether their eco
nomica1 ideas Of space were respon-

japanese press has yielded to the
temptation to reply to his speech at

plant that former Mayor James
Lang picked out the men, and that
his selections were not always In the
interest OF higher citizenship. He is
charged, moreover, with clever
trick by which Councilman b. w.
Cornelison was kept on the ticket in
the Second ward. However much
truth there may be in this accusation.
II was impossible for him
to prevent some OF the members of
the present general council standing
for reelection to one OF the boards.
There are men among these. whose
records deserve reward. II is not the
duty of a newspaper to do all the

They should look carefully into the

A YANKEE ON A THRONE.

A Servian nobleman is on his way
to Chicago to secure brides for the
crown prince and the second son of
King Peter. This he is doing with
the appreciation OF the Car OF Rus
STA. and ne has commissions from
Russian aristocrats to con-
tract alliances for them. The pur-
pose. yulgarly stated. is to improve
the breed of the royal houses OF
Europe, and while the idea of secur-
ing a bride by contract, considered
perfectly natural in Europe. shocks
our sense of decency and offends our
love OF the romantic. the popularity
of the project is, on the whole.
subtly complimentary to the Ameri-
can people.
Europe recognizes the decadence
of its inbred royalty. and spurning
the plebians of its own continent,
seeks alliance with a race, the SUI
perior of all others. whose progeny is
worthy to sit on the ancient thrones
of those countries over which their
'forefathers roamed the forest in
search Of the wild boar. Americans.
who have merged the great CONNER
cial and industrial enterprises OF. the
earth, are about to absorb royalty
Itself: the terms OF the deal being
that Europe is to furnish the titles
and the Prerequisites and America
the kingly qualities.
But before We accept, we. warn the
European Commons that they are
jeopardizing their own interests.
Their liberties. such as they have,
have been gradually wrested from
impotent hands. As royalty declined
the people rose. and the figurehead
on the throne is the symbol OF their
liberties.
Just as soon as a scion of the
house Of monopoly, reared in doc
trine of the divine right to rule. gets
his fingers on the scepter. the sover-
eign will come again into his own.
and Europe will see renaissance of
the absolute monarchy.

He's a Democrat, because he is only
one Of eighty million kings and
queens over here; but he displays re-
markable capacity for governing. and

ness. he'll go into II heart and soul.
