When you hear hatchet-faced, vim

what facilities she ever possessed for
finding all that out?
After baby comes, woman real
lees that the lesson in patience she
had to learn to get along with her hus-
band was only the b of what she
had to learn later.
When man is nagger he general
~ knows 1t and has his moments of
self-contempt. But when woman is
q termagant she goes to her grave
without ever finding it out.

Frederick w. Carpenter Secretary to
President Taft.
Frederick Warner Carpenter was
earning his salary as stenographer
in a lawyers office in San Francisco
when he received an offer to go to
manila as clerk for Mr.. Taft, who
was then president of the Philippine
Commission.
The offer came Unexpectedly and
on the eve of Mr.. Carpenters admis-
sion to the bar. He went out to the
islands, however, and when Mr. Taft
was appointed Governor Of the Philip
pines Mr.. Carpenter was advanced
from the position of clerk to that of
private secretary. From that day
Mr.. Carpenter has been the right
hand man of Mr.. Taft.
Few young men in public life at
the national capital are more popular
than Mr.. Taft's private secretary. He
is the toast of newspaper men, says
Hampton's Magazine, the President
elect relies on him absolutely and
Mrs. Taft is quite as appreciatye Of

THE pENeulN,s WINGS.

After New Feathers start Old Arc
Retained as Protection Against Cold.
Ornithological puzzles are the PEN
gums, with their curiously shaped
wings and odd unbirdlike upright
carriages. The peculiarities Of their
wings suggest that the penguins are
descendants of birds which used their
wings rather than legs in the pur.

Jealous because the pet cat of his
mistress was fed first. "Gyp," the pet
terrier of Miss Anna Belberta, Phila.
delphia, sayagely attacked her. So
long as "Gyp" was given preference
at meal time, the dog and cat were
firm friends. They played like kit
tens. and seemed to forget traditional
animosity. Miss Balberta frequently
spoke to her friends of the unusual
friendship between the pair. for while
"Gyp" would chase the cat of any
neighbor without hesitation, he never
harmed her cat "Gyp" apparently
held the view that certain preroga.
tives were peculiarly his. When he
and the cat were called to dinner the
other day both came eagerly. But
when Miss Belberta stopped over to
feed the cat first. the dog. with one
short bark, leaped at her and grabbed
her by the throat. Her cries brought
help, and the dog was beaten of be-
fore she was dangerously hurt.

NE Sweetest Of Mcmory's Bells.

TIE Sweetest Of Mcmory's Bells.
Wild is the way through the wood
land, but there are the sweet
fields OF clover,
The signing, sad pines, and the jes
samine vines, and the riil that
laughs leapingly over
The lilies that rim 1.-THE shadows
that dim it-and there, winding
winsomely sweet,
u the path that still leads to the
old home through rivery ripples
OF wheat!
And bark! It's the song of the reap
ers, and 1 know by its jubilant
ringing
There is gold in the CLEAN of the
harvest and love in the hearts
that are singing
And still as of old to the ether lis
music mellifuous swe!ls,
And the wind that signs westward
is swaying the sweetest of Mem
ory's bells.
Let me pass through the wheat and
the clover, o men and rose maid
ems, who reap!
I, who come from the sound of the
cities, like a child to its mother
would creep;
For through long years of tears and
of toiling, like harbor-bells over
the foam
Your voices far winging and ringing
we're singing me-singing me
home!
And here. from the pain and the
pleasure-from the sorrow and
signing, I flee
AS the birds when the storm winds
are blowing, as the ships seek
the haven from sea;
And I fancy the violets know me
In gardens of beauty and bliss;
And do not the red roses owe me
the peace Of the prodigaTs kiss:
The sun is still bright at the por-
tai: there the love-light all radi-
ant shines;
Heart! Heart! There's face we
remember in the tangle and
bloom Of the vines!
Far off the glad reapers are singing
far off in the rivery wheat,
And the arms of mother are cling.
ing, and the kiss OF mother is
sweet!

New York Stables Report Heavy
Death Rate Due 10 Western Grain.
More work horses have died this
year In New York and throughout the
East than in any previous year, and
there is hardly large stable In this
city which has not had one or more
deaths since March. the New York
Herald says. The deaths have all been
caused by intestinal trouble and veter.
inarians attribute the prevalence of
this disease to the mixing of very
large percentage of barley with oats
that are shipped here from the West.
Barley is both cheaper and heavier
than oats. which gives larger profit
to those who mix large quantity and
sell 1t for the lighter grain. Ordi.
narily. there is from to 10 per cent
of barley used. but this year the per.
centage has run as high as so and 60.
