GOOD CHEER AT MEAL TIME

Emotions of anger or pain check the
flow of gastric juice and interfere with
the digestion of ones food, consequent
ly there should be nothing but good
cheer at the table.
The parent who disciplines his chill
dren at this time makes serious mis-
take likewise the wife who makes
mealtime an opportunity for driving
home a curtain lecture.
At dinner she usually has ample time
to give expression to her feelings. but
better no meal at all than food eaten
in bitterness, of spirit. 1t may be diff
cult to shut out from mealtime the dis
cussion of disagreeable or perpleXing
problems, but it Is imperative If one IS
to secure the best results from the food
one eats.
Where nourishment and health are
concerned, laughter and good will are
vigorous promoters of the digestive
functions. The court Jester was val
liable piece of dining room furniture IN
olden times, and a good-natured and
cheerful guest who keeps up lively
and entertaining conversation at table
does more to aid digestion than all the
nostrums ever invented.

From One Woman TO Another

office the next day, told herself she had
known it all the time; what she had
not realized was that until then she
had not quite given up hope.
The manager looked up pleasantly.
"I called you up Miss Bently, to
show you a letter we received from a
customer this morning. 1 think it
may interest you"
Lois, bewildered, took the letter. At
first the phrases meant nothing to her,
so sure had she been of dismissal; but
after little she began to understand
"the very great patience and courtesy
of the young lady who waited upon
me-" mot the first time 1 had noticed
her unfailing patience even with the
most trying customers"-the words
looked at her like friendly. assuring
faces.
"I merely wish to add, Miss Bent
ly," the manager said, as she handed
back the letter, "that the kind of sales
woman noted in this letter is the kind
we never part with if we can help it,"
"Suppose-she had not written!"
Lois did not realize that she had said
it aloud until she heard the manager
answering her thought.
"Yes, we might have made mistake
although we are not so likely to as you
think. But even then, the same quail
ties would have won in the end. They
always do, Miss Bently."
Lois, shining-eyed and pink checked
went back to the lace counter. 1t was
good. But how other people helped-if
they would!vYouth's Companion.

BACK TO The FARM

Back to the farm,
Where the bob-white still is calling
AS in remembered dawnings when youth and
Driving the cattle where the meadow brook is
brawling
Her immemoriaI wandering fears and joys
Home to the farm for the deep green calms of
summer.
Life of the open furrow. life of the waving
Leaving the painted world of masquerade and
hummer
Just for the sense of earth and ripening
again.
Down in the hayneld where scythes CLINT
through the clover;
Lusty blood a-throbbing in the splendor of
the noon
Lying mid the haycocks as casting clouds pass
over,
Hearing insect lovers a-piping out of tune.
on to the wood lot where brier bloom runs
riot
And wary forest creature no hunters snare
deceives.
Virgin growth beguiling the solemn-hearted
quiet
with songs of winter fires a-ripple through
the leaves
Out in the dews with the spider as his shut
tie
In that half dreaming hour that awabens
the whp-poor-will,
And sets the nighthawk darting sinister and
subtle
E'en the full moon complacent loiters Ger
the hill.
Back to the farm,
with the friendly brute for neighbor,
Where youth and nature beckon. the tryst
who would not keep?
Back to the luxury Of rest that follows labor,

MY WOODLAND FRIENDS

AS I go singing all alone
Down woodland paths, so green and cool
That wind through nickering sun and
shade,
BY rushing brook or silent pool.
The tall trees seem to bend their tops,
The pine cones tumble at my feet
The nodding ferns stand quietly
AS though they wished my song to greet
And in some dim and shadowy cove,
The wild Lobeia flaming red,
Stands listening on its slender stem,
Or waves a welcome from its bed.
The squirrel peeps from out the leaves
The sun comes stealing through to see
Who dares to hush the Wild birds song
And saunters by SO carelessly,
So as l wander all alone
Through dusky paths that bend and
wind,
move amid a company
or wildwood friends, most dear and kind.

HOT WEATHER DRESSING

1t is easy for woman in these dog
days to tighten the white woman's
burden" of clothing by choosing the
accessories of her costume carefully.
Hot weather sets the pace for re-
form in a number of hurtful vanities.
Tight shoes, lacing and a close bind
ing on the throat and wrists will not
only increase the temperature of the
body on a warm day, but is an al
most cordial invitation to sunstroke.
From chin to the sole of the foot
the dress should be made as easy as
possible, and preferably in the palest
possible color
White is not only restful to the eye
and the spirits, but 1t also resists
the SUMS rays more effectually than
any other shade.
1t has the added advantage of be-
ing universally becoming, which is
somewhat of a consideration when the
temperature is ninety-and-th them some
in the shade.
For GOODNESS unstarched and per-
fectly fresh underwear is needed
Tan or bronze low shoes, worn with
matching stockings in cotton, gauze
or Isle, are among the ever stylish
and comfortable foot capers.

THE CITY IN THE SEA

10, Death has reared himself throne
In a strange city lying alone
Far down within the dim west,
Where the good and the bad and the pest
Have gone to their eternal rest
There shrines and palaces and towers
CTime-eaten towers that tremble noO
Resemble nothing that tremble not)
Around, by lifting winds forgot,
Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie
No rays from the holy heaven come down
on the long night time Of that town
But light from out the lurid sea
Streams up the turrets silently.
Cleans up the pinnacles far and free,
Up domes, up spires, up kingly halls,
Up fanes. up Rabylon-like walls,
Up shadowy, long forgotten bowers
OF sculptured ivy and stone flowers,
Up many and many marvellous shrine
whose wreathed friezes intertwine
The viol, the violet and the vine.
Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie.
So blend the turrets and the shadows there
That all seem pendulous in air.
While from a proud tower in the town
Death looks gigantically down.

"I don't mind the time ever" she

half-hopeless. There was not much
question among the girls that Lois
would be the one to go; she seemed
fated to have those who wanted cheap
laces come to her, whereas Fanny OIL

to know which customers to go to, and
that Lois had not business bump
"But somebody has to wait upon
them," Lois argued.
DOUBTLESS, but it can be somebody

the difference it makes. Your sales to-
day have been $50. and mine $16S."

And now a figure from a Grecian
Wakes and moves forth for a brief hour S

This is the princess by old Homer sung,
Nay, a bacchante with white arm uphung.
Joy manifest, sound visible we learn
And see the day that never shall return,
And taste the springtime when the world was

Oh. toss the golden ball again and play
With maidens on the Chalcidean shore,
Bring morning rapture back to sad today,
And make the dull world joyous as of yore,
For we are old and Greece is far away,
Yet were we blessed If might dream once

That in the sunlight glows;
He never learned the secret
That nestles in the rose;

That's in the stars displayed,
Until-but have you guessed 1t?
Until he loved a maid!
He never caught the spirit
or Robins roundelay,
or heard the breeze's message
Upon a summers day;
Joy, in supreme measure,
Came never to his aid.
To make him feel life's goodness,
Until--he loved a maid!
She crossed his path one morning
In all her beauty rare,
And suddenly his being
Felt a diviner air!
All life was changed that moment,
In glory was arrayed-
The reason-have you guessed it?
Because he loved maid
Until he loved a maid

All, mel tits true,

Each sorrow would soon forget,
For many joys are waiting yet
For you and me-
If we could know beyond today,
As God doth know,
Why dearest treasures pass away
And tears must flow,
And why the darkness leads to light,
Why dreary paths will grow bright
Some day life's wrongs Will be made right

DEFENDANTS ARE DISCHARGED
Alleged Coal Land Frauders Let Go
Recause Of no Euidence

DENVER, Dec. 21.-Federal Judge
Lewis discharged today the defend
ants on trial before him for alleged
coal land frauds in Routt county. The
proceedings came to close when
United States District Attorney Thorn
as Ward. Jr., attempted to introduce
a letter alleged to have been written
by one Of the defendants to j. w. At
well, dummy entryman, and the
court sustained the objection of the
defense to the Introduction of the let
ter on the ground that it was SELF
discriminating and took away cOnstitu-
tiona' rights.
Judge Lewis held also that the
deeds from several of the defendants
to the Union Land company, which
the prosecution held to have been
fraudulent, could not be introduced to
show the conspiracy.
1t is said all the other big land fraud
cases set for trial may now be dis
