trampled almost to the point of extinction for five feet on each side of that walk. Why! The walk was wide enough to accommodate all the men and women that used it. But its inanmale concrete lacked that primal call to the human being that soft earth and green things invarab- ly make.
 All these thousands of city-worn people were simply obeyng an instinct canning from some where out the time before Adam and his consort went astray from the Garden of Eden and found world of strife and toll. The action of these working people in trampling out the grass of the park was the bane of the park-keeper's life But signs and fences were of no avail. For the call of Nature was stronger than all these, however prohlbltve.
 Now, in the city of Globe, the opportunity to set aside land for large and handsome park for the peoples use is here today. It awaits the time which must come sooner or later when the citizenship of Globe will have brought for cibly home to 1t the crying need of natural re- sort for the toiler and his family. The land can now be obtained at small cost Ten years hence it will have to be purchased dearly. The moral is clear, Do it now!"
 With a suitable park the man in search of pleasant diversion can find it without its entail ing subsequent heartache. If he wishes an hour of recreation with his comrades of an evening" he can find it in the park retreats. If he wishes a sermon on a Sunday, the simple growth oi blade of grass or the cali of a bird to its mate affords the greatest sermon that this old world ever knew. And in the seeing and hearing of all Natures wonders the inli- vidual will be helped to the cultivation of the a mind open to all good influences. To accomp lish this would be real philanthropy. And the benefacors who brought it about would be nm doubtedly real Posterity would consider them with reverence

THE VANISHING MILKMAID
What is to become of Maud Mullerl

What IS to become 0f Maud MullerE
 Are all our poetic traditions to be blanketed by prosaic departmental report? Many works of ambitious pastoral literature are at tributed to the secretary of agriculture and his patience in consenting to be the official father of much of this verbal production is altogether a credit to his philosophic patience with those who are acquiring, by academic observation their first lessons in farming But the calling of the farmer should be productive, not destruc- tive. He is next to the first source of wealth, even if railway magnates build their economic kingdoms upon the tolls of transportation and, mayhap, upon the temporary control of the freight itself Moreover. even the mechanical harvester has its song that huns among its human helpers.
 Out of the west, however, comes the report that milking machines are found to be prac- tcal success Such is the hard, utilitarian an nouncement No poet could make verses out of milking machine. There is no appeal to the imagination in the substitution of an air pump and suction tube for the delft fingers and bronzed forearm of the faithful lass who at dewy morn or dusky eve persuades bossy to yield her rich tribute to persuasive pressure. Will the cows come home as of yore, from their browsing wanderings afield? Shall all the farmstead lads adventurous exploits of cor recting mild bovine vagrancy over the hills be- yond the meadows vanish from the aevatng adventures of rural lifeg Are the memories of the barn yard, the milking stool, and the brim- ming pail to go out of the reminiscence of pas toral youth9 Already those who live in cities know that they must hear the clank of the milk can instead of the matutinal lowing of the gentle COW. But is mere mechanical contrap- ton to banish the lure of that creatures pro ductive placidity! The breathing of morning air, the sense of excursion, the smack of ad- venture in exploring bossy's wanderings, are among the precious treasures of memory, as they are among the amenities of life upon the farm But machine instead of milkmaid? !?

NAVY YARDS "FOR THE NAVY"

The discussion respecting the changes which are necessary in naval administration continues with the usual variety of original suggestion Ingenuity and artessness will be identified as the chief characteristics of proposition which is advanced by Rear Admiral C. F. Goodrich, |. $. N., retired, in comment he has imparted to the United States Naval institute in series of papers devoted to the subject of the reorgan- ization of the naval establishment In the course of his enlightment of a vexatious situation, Rear Admiral Goodrich says:
 ''Navy yards for the navy will come
 about when no member of either the house
 or senate naval committee represents dis
 trict in which naval station is placed. It
 is understood that Mir. Speaker Cannon's
 views are along these lines. l think it
 would be well if the senate were to govern
 itself similarly.''
 It has hitherto been considered that the navy would prosper in proportion to the presence on the house and senate naval committees of men who, by reason of the geographical loca- tion of their districts, were compelled to take a lively interest in the welfare and the develop ment of the service.

Thoughts of q Merry Widow
By Celeste

The man who finds love too sugary sweet will pine for little wholesome snap to the domestic atmosphere.
 Therefore, my sister, make not thy love one continuous course of self sacrifice
 Do not be always ready to give in and never assert myself.
 Do not be over demonstratve in thy affec- ton. Man will accept it-but he will prefer the society of some woman of whom he is not quite so sure.
 'Tis sad but true that the moment man feels too sure of woman he ceases to make any effort to hold her.
 Therefore, my sister, with husband or sweetheart let him never have that feeling of surety.
 But be thou veritable will 'o-the e-wisp, so that he may be ever led to follow thee but never quite overtake thee.
 In the words of modern youth, keep him guessing and he will be thy abiect slave.
 Truly, the love which comes too easily. loses its value in the eyes of iord'y man who delights in striving for that which is denied him.

trict is located a navy yard or naval station is naturally concerned in obtaining for that es- tablishment the maximum appropriation. If that means any thing, it assuredly stands for improvement of plant, which, to the civilian mind, at least, is token of creating navy yard flor the navy" It does not appear in anything which Rear Admiral Goodrich has written, on this occasion, at least just how and to what extent or in what direction navy yards as they are now equipped and operated are not for the navy"
 There has been much said of the unbusness- like conduct of navy yards, but that is a ques- ton of administration with which the house and senate naval committees in particular, or con gress in general, have precious little to do It has been considered that the congressman from the interior will entertain views less liberal to- ward the naval establishment than may be ex- pected of representatives and senators who come from the seacoast states, and they prob ably would not consider themselves lacking in any particle of patriotism if they cut down all the estimates and refused to provide in the nav al appropriation bill for the increase of the navy as recommended by the navy department each year. Rear Admiral Goodrich must pos sess the notion that the naval influence will be more effective with representatives and sena- tors who know nothing of and care less concern ing the naval establishment than with members who represent districts in which naval stations are placed. The experiment might be worth trying if Rear Admiral Goodrich could arrange the composition of the house and senate naval committees, but it does not stand to reason that naval legislation would be any more flor the navy than it has been in the last twenty changes in the process of providing for the nav al service The simplest way to accomplish what is desired ''for the navy' rests within the navy department, and not at the capitol.

OF devil which occurs only in the
New Testament, 1 have shown that 1t
is a personification of sin in Its various
manifestations among men, ana WIN
not ask for space for that into Whlch
l have already gone.
But In New Testament devils, which
Lux" brings up, an altogether difrer,
ent subject is introduced. The original
word ia different in etymology and
meaning from the word rendered devil,
which we have been considering. or
these devils (R. v. margin, demons) OF
which persons were said to be pos
sessed, the manifestations when de-
scribed point clearly to physical and
mental disorders OF one 1t is said
mark 5:15) that after having been
healed he was found sitting, ana
clothed in his right mind" The plain
inference is that before healing he was
naked and crazy. In Matthew 9:S2,SS,
1t Is said, "They brought to him dumb
man, possessed with a devil, and when
the devil was cast out the dumb spake."
Also in Matthew 1922, There was
brought unto him one possessed with
devil blind and dumb, and he healed
him. insomuch that the blind and dumb
both spake and saw" Similar Illus
trations might be given, that supposed
evil spirit possession was but the eX-
pressions of ignorance, to wh1ch IAN
guage New Testament writers con-
formed, without countenancing it, as
we would today.
The whole subject of demeniacal pos
session is most forcibly summed up in
the article on "Demonology" in the
Encyclopoedia Britannica, edition 1893,
volume 7, page 81, as follows: "Some
theologians, while in Difference to ad-
vanced medical knowledge they aban-
don the primitive theory of demons
causing such diseases in our own time,
place themselves in an embarrassing
position by maintaining, on the sup
posed sanction of the Scriptures, that
the same symptoms were really caused
by demoniacal possession in the first
century. A full statement of the argu-
ments on both sides of this once i'm
portant controversy will be found in
earlier editions of the Ency. Britt, but
for our times 1t seems too like dis
cussion whether the earth was really
fiat in the ages when it was believed
to be so, but became round since as
tronomers provided different explana-
ton of the same phenomena"
