In the Woods.

I turn from life's familiar ways
To tread the forest path again.
The friendly silence of the woods
Seems wiser than the speech of men.
In language 1 have learned to hear
There comes message on each breeze,
How could l feel myself alone
With the companionable trees?
And as two hearts in unison
Can hear a thought-though unexpressed-
So l, akin unto the woods,
Find speechless sympathy is best.
How foolish seems wisdom here
How small the trivial thing that grieves.
Who would not cast his care away
Who hears the laughing of the leaves?
And miracles by myriads
To eyes anointed to behold
Each little beech leaf that the frost
Has touched and turned to palest gold

About the only people who DON'T quarrel
over religion are the people who haven't
any.
Almost as much sympathy is wasted on
the under dog as on the henpecked hus-
band.
If she sticks to the job long enough. the
girl who becomes young man's slave
may also develop Into an old mans
darling.
Just because man eats with his knife
and murders the Kings English, don't
jump to the conclusion that he is mil
lionaire.
1t requires considerable equilibrium to
be able to roll In wealth without rolling
out OF 1t.
There is no middle ground with some
men. They either have to be on the water
wagon or on the tank
When a girl stops wondering Just what
the sensations of love are, she has found
out.
Nature generally manages to adjust her
self The quarrelsome people are usually
the ones who get married.
Tie principal mourners at many a mans
funeral are the people he owed money to.
It's good plan to keep your trouble to
yourself till you meet some fellow who
is looking for it.
If the Lord can see all our faults, 1t Is
hard to understand where He gets all the
angels.
Many MARTA! difficulties can be traced
to the fact that 1t is easier to tell a
little lie than to answer lot of questions

Say IT, said Mr. Harrington softly,
and you shall get off at once"
Before she could answer their solitude
was invaded by n party OF people who
came suddenly round the cliff. The girl
uttered an exclamation of disnay. and
said hurriedly:

do, do. please get me off this hateful
thing before they see me--whatever Will

ignominous position.

flung himself on the sand beside her. Miss
Durward took no notice. Apparently
young men had no place In her world at
all at that moment. He endured 1t for
q few moments and then, as she contin-
ued to read. he quietly took the book out
of her hand and threw 1t along the beach.
"Cecile, he said softly, ARE you very
angry with me? ] want you to say again

to say 1t all the time. only you were SO
proud and wilful you would not give In ?
Isn't that right?" he asked eagerly.
Miss Durward's eyes wandered slowly
round the horizon. away to the cliffs in
the distance, down to the little waves at
her feet. and. finally. with an effort. to
the face of the man beside her Then
her mouth curved and a smile broke all
over her small, mutinous face.

THE OLDEST LIVING TRlPLETs
From I eSlie.a Wael.lx

According to Congressman Charles
H. Cowles, of North Carolina. the old
est living triplets in the world are the
Gibbs, born in Wilkesboro. N. c., May
3, 1893, and now living In their nth
year. One of the triplets, William
Washington Gibbs resides in Allan
ia. Ca, and the other two, Robert
Jackson Gibbs and Thomas Lafayette
Gibbs, live at Boomer, N. c., within a
few miles of the place of their birth.
The three brothers are hale, hearty,
industrious, sober and splendid citizens.
In spite of the fact that they endured
the hardshipS and priyationS of four
years of civil war and years of strug-
gle With poverty. All three of them
volunteered early in the war, and
fought in the same company of the
same regiment IN many battles. Bethel
was the first real battle of tie war be-
of confederate aggression, and Apo
mattoN the last of that struggle. The
Gibbs triplets in common with all
North Carolinians. are proud OF the
on the states battle field
which reads: First at
Bethel, farthest at Gettysburg and last
at APPROXIMATIONS The triplets are de-
scended from long lived families on
both sides. Their father lived to a
good old age and their mother died
only a few years ago at the age of
almost 81. Aunt Caroline" Grlnton,
tcolored), of Wilkesboro, who is al
most 100 years old, claims to have
nursed the Gibbs triplets when they
were babies. She says: "They was
powerful strong young uns." The
triplets are all married men, each has
grandchildren and great grandchildren
and they are most devoted to each

A member of Il publishing house is

show that the spread of the popular
novel Is constantly increasing. He was
OH his way from Pawtucket, r. L., to
East Attleboro, Mass, by trolley and
stopped off at the little village store
at South Attleboro to get nibbIe of
crackers and cheese at noon. The usual
rural characters were about the coun-
ter. He got into conversation with
some of them and was interested to
know how their political ideas ran. He
sounded them along various lines and
at last came to an old farmer who was
sitting on sugar barrel waiting for
the mail.
Think they're going to make a good
job of the TARIFF he asked.

astonishing reply.
