THE SOLITARY REAPER.

By Wordsworth.
Behold her, single in the field.
Yon solitary Highland Lass!
Reaping and singing by herself;
Stop here, or gently pass!
Alone she cuts and binds the grain.
And sings In melancholy strain;
o listen! for the vale profound
Is overlooking with tho sound.
No nightingale did ever chaunt
More welcome notes to weary bands
OF travellers in some shady haunt
Among Arabian sands;
A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard
In springtime from the ouclsoo-bird.
Breaking the silence of the seas
Among the farthest Hebrides.
Will no one tell me Whist she sings?
Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow
For old, unhappy, far-off things,
And battles long ago,
Or Is 1t some more humble lay,
Familiar matter of today?
Some natural sorrow, loss or pain,
That has been, and may be again?
iWhate or the theme. the maiden sang
As II her song. could have no ending
/ saw her singing at her work,
And Ger the sickle bending;
I listened, motionless and still;
And, as mounted up the hill,
The music In my heart bore
Long after It was heard no nese.

provements, which would have meant a
large outlay of money and the employ
ment of hundreds of workmen, but the
day that Governor Corners letter was
published all preparations for the work
referred to had to be held in allegiance.

rate our company is exercising prudence
and will not spend any money on new
development until after the legislature has

RECOVERY.

hE1ON
Dear heart, it is good to get back to
the grind,
The pain and the ennui of sickness be-
To lift up the load where you laid 1t
aside,
Plunge again in the struggle and follow
the tide
OF fortune, wherever 1t leads you afar,
With hope in your breast and a sentinel
star
Which promises greater success yet to
The unsubdued star of your destiny.
If ever this life seems a void and waste
And the cup of your quaffing is bitter to
taste,
And the hours are dragging with slow,
leaden feet
And the privilege of living no longer
seems sweet
Ills when the hand eager for toll is with
held
And the brain and the eye, to complais-
ance compelled,
Are dazed by a weakness you don't I'M
derstand

Each one to his task is the secret 1
guess,
or the happiest lives-to be one in the
press
OF high hearts and brave hearts and
dauntless and true;
To toll with your fellows. still keeping in
view
The goal of your dreams, and to work
that each day
Will find your steps further ADVANCED
on the way:
Still climbing. no matter how often you
fall,
Till the cold hand of Death puts an end

AMENITIES OF AUTOMOelLiN0.
From tho washington Herald.

From tho washington Herald.
Perhaps the growing use of the auto
mobile may have the indirect, but highly
desirable effect of increasing the percent
age of thoughtfulness for others into the
complex American character. 1t certainly
would seem fitting that a condition of
prosperity that warrants the ownership
of big touring machine, and that per-
mits the leisure for its use should be
accompanied by courteous regard for
the convenience and comfort of those not
so fortunate. Those who enjoy the de-
lights of having the whole country before
them whittier to choose to go have also
the opportunity to dwell upon the truth
of "noblesse obligee," due regard for
which might have modified the revenge
full savagery incident to the French rev.
olution., This gentle caution applies not
only to a due regard TO rthose who have
equal legal rights In the use of high
ways but for the peace of mind of those
who seek placid refreshments in wayside
inns. Such persons sometimes resent dis
turbance and disarray Of what to them
may be rare day of recreation by the
sudden advent Of touring car and the
boisterous disarrangement of orderly
service. The mere ability to run an auto
mobile does not imply lordly monopoly
of the earth and the fullpess there. How
ever, a spirit of gentle tolerance and Of
considerable good nature Is fortunately
also prominent in this country.

Ill sing a song of the coatless man,

With wilted look and palmetto fan,

OF the torrid heat and swearing ne meier
Saw weather so hot as now,
And he wishes cloud in the sky would

As he mops his steaming brow.
He says it's just too hot 20 work
And he let's his business slide,
Although It's true that he hates to shirk-
In toiling takes great pride.
Too hot to do most anything. yet,

To take in a baseball game.

GRUMBLING.
Grumbling at the weather,
Grumbling at his luck,
Grumbling cause he said he was
Certain to get stuck
Grumbling at his work all day,
Fit to make you weep:
Grumbling still, he journeyed home,
Grumbhng fell asleep.
Grumbling morning, noon and night,
Grumbling all the time,
Nothing to a grumbling man
Ever seems sublime,
Nothing ever lifts him up
From the sordid strife,
Opening a fairer view,
Sweetening his life.
Nothing ever makes him feel 4
That it's good to live,
Smiles OF rare encouragement,
Kindly help to give.
All his days are shadow days,
All his thoughts are signs;
People seldom worry much
When a grumbler dies.

ROYAL FARMERS

complishments. 1t was at Het Loo in
the early days of her life that she raised
poultry, the proceeds of which netted her
quite substantial bit of pin money. After
her marriage she suggested to the prince
consort that good dairy farm at Het
Lee ought to pay. The prince bought
some prize cattle and sent agents to the
principal dairy farms of Holland to learn
all the most up-to-date methods OF the
business.
Next door to Hollands royal dairy
King Leopold does business along far Diff
ferent lines. BY no means has he limited
himself to milk and butter. In 30 many
enterprises all over the world Is his hand
felt that he is regarded as the shrewdest
royal money-getter in Europe. He has
mining and railroad interests in China and
Russia; he owns a vast amount Of real
estate in his own country, especially at
Ostend, and holds real estate mortgages
in all the European capitals. Although
his state income looks small beside the
Sultans, or even that of the Spanish
monarch's, the Belgian King has amassed
such private fortune that he is, in fact,
far richer than either the Turkish or
the Spanish ruler.
