Tn. Good, Ship "UneIe George"
Gaunched April IA. 1ss5.)

Many moons have waxed and waned on many an Easter morn, And wipters' frosts chained lake and stream since Uncle George was born. And many a rose Its leaves has shed upon the parent earth, And many bird its carol tr1lled or loving and of mirth, And kings have died and new kings reigned, and all the passing show Of human life has glided by in varied gloom and glow. The rock that crowns that mountain crest, and looks down on the vale, The forest tree that towers aloft de- liant of the gale. The mighty sea that ebbs and flows, and frets it's iron coast, To whom the rolling centuries are but an hour at most, All withstands the tyrant change, the boldest and the best Are typical of our old friend, Bohe- mia's Priest and Guest. What, though the hand of Time has touched those locks once glossy brown,
 Twas but to place upon his brow a shining silver crown; And though the voice be not as clear as when at sea it trolled,
  musically told.
 The loves of Sally and of Jack upon the pillows foam, And how the good ship went in stays, and how The Cows Come Home" That staunch craft Uncle George" has aye luffed to the freshening breeze,
 And OCT it's. bows in gleeful love have climbed the laughing seas, The Uncle George" with all sail set, and bcwlines all hauled taut, And weather teaches quiverings has never gone about; But with sheets aft, and tacks boused down, it's cargo, love and mirth, Has pointed to the Port of Right, as needle points the North. And when it backed its foresail, with the jib across the deck, Twas but to take some friend aboard from Sorrows sinking wreck, And greet him at the gangway, and bid him welcome aft. And make him owner in the mirth that filled that Joyous Craft. When heaven drowned and winds blew fierce and tore at shroud and The Uncle George" has bounded on, defiant of the gale. Let timid sailors furl and reef and to the mad waves lie, The Uncle Georges" skipper shouts: Lad. keep her full and by" Let other vessels square away, and for snug harbor run, The Uncle George" has kept her course until the gale was done. And when the bell the dog-watch told, the skipper heaved the log, Sounded the pumps, the royals set, and piped all hands to grog, And saw the breakers on his lee fade slowly out of view, And boldly bid the steersman then to Huff a point or two" Long may that vessel staunch endure to ride life's stormy seas, Before, the Port of Joy and Song, be- hind the favoring breeze Her pennant streaming high aloft, and sound her running gear, Her timbers knowing not decay, and good for many year, Her anchor chain.

And what is worse, they will insist on telling of it, too; Still others yet have far more gold te whistle down the wind But never one that helped others more, so gentle and so kind. Long years ago, in boyhood's days, a ond-remembered past You ate your hash and smoked your pipe, lad before the mast; The shellbacks growled around you, and swore till they were blind Yet you "chawed on" and puffed in peace, so gentle and so kind. And when the choo- cf1oo cars ran first to Sacramento town, You navigated all the train, first up the track, then down; If passengers spat on the floor, or tried some fault to find. You helped them find it, if you could, so gentle and so kind. Then you became a Boniface, and ran a real hotel. And, like fabled Ripley, you managed 1t quite well When guests skipped out with bills unpaid, you did not seem to mInd, You let them slide, and took a drink so gentle and so kind. In all the walks of life, sweet soul, in sunshine and in shade, You never yet have failed to cheer the friends that you have made; Long may you livei Long may you beam! You've taught. and we've re- signed

MAUD MuIIer~ Party.

During these golden October days,
outdoor and indoor parties combined
are quite the thing. A hostess noted
LOT her originality invited her friends
TO a Maud Muller" party. The invi-
tatlons said: Informal; please come
IN country costumes" AS she lived in
suburb, time tables were inclosed
with the train marked that she wished
them to take. The hour was five, and
merry throng took the four o'clock
train. An immense hay wogan was at
the station, with the splendid big
horses gayly decorated and driven by
the regular farm men instead of the
hverled coach and footman. There
were horns for the men, and the
hostess awaited them on the steps of
the port cochere. Big straw hats
were given to the men with red rib.

the men to try their skill, with prizes
for the straightest row, and for the
one made in the quickest time. BY
this time twilight was falling and
guests watched the chickens fed and
the COWS MIXED. Then all adjourned
to the dining room, where spurious
supper was served, everything except
the meats being a product of the

pumpkins were converted into most

drive of an hour was taken over the
hardest of country roads and then
back to the station in time for the ten

Prison for Debtors Aoain

The report of select committee on
Imprisonment for debt which was laid
on the table in the British house Of
commons last month has been made
public. The present law permits i'm
prisonment where the debtor has
means to pay and will not do it.
Charles Dickens was Largely the
cause of the change in the old laws
when poor debtors were kept in prison
hopelessly. Some now think England
went too far the other way and ask
that where the debt is for necessaries
or for damages for wrongs commit
ted, the prison should punish. Poor
people and artisans are not to suffer

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness. it is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trou-
bic can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

FOOD QUESTION
Settled with Perfect Satisfaction by
Dyspeptic.

It's not an easy matter to satisfy all
the members of the family at meal
time as every housewife knows.
And when the husband has dyspep-
STA and can't eat the simplest ordinary
food without causing trouble, the food
question becomes doubly annoying.
An Illinois woman writes:
my husbands health was poor. he
had no appetite for anything / could
get for him, 1t seemed.
'He was hardly able to work, was
taking medicine continually, and as
soon as he would feel better would go
to work again only to give up in a.
few weeks. He suffered severely with
stomach trouble.
Tired Of everything had been able
to get for him to eat. one day seeing
an advertisement about Grape-Nuts, I
got some and tried it for breakfast the
next morning.

although we had no idea of using it
regularly. But when my husband came
home at night he asked for Grape.
Nuts.
