THE HOUSE ON THE HILL

Down the road is Winners Woods,
In the early days of spring
There the loveliest wild flowers grow;
There first bluebirds come to sing.
There, through last years withered
leaves
Peeps the bloodroot, gold and white;
And Quaker Ladies ON the slope
Spread a carpet of delight.
A green valleys just beyond
With mill pond, deep and still,
And mill, and from it's door
long road climbs up the hill.
Half way up the winding road,
Shaded by a Towering vine,
Little, low, and painted brown,
Stands the house that l call mine
In the town across the bridge
There are houses grand and tall.
Carven stone and rudy brick
Trim the roof and make the wall.
They have porches all around
Towers and gables very fine,
But I'm sure I'd rather live
In the house that l call mine.
In its little garden plot
Long before our orchards gay
A small peach tree blossoms out
Like a rosy pink bouquet.
Lilacs grew beside the door;
There's an arch above the gate;
And | see gay beds of phlox
Blooming still, when summers late.
When | am a woman grown
MAY that time soon come to me y
l shall travel round the world,
All its wonders | shall see;
And then I'll come back. to live
In my dear house on the hill,
With the valley just beyond
And the mill pond and the mill.

Art and Weather.

In a gallery there hangs a large
canvas in an imposing frame. The
painting shows a waterfall in one OF
the states famous for startling nat
ural scenery. The picture has oc-
cupied it's present place for several
years.
Does 1t belong here?" asked q Wis
itor of the man in charge.
mo more than the others you see. .
Seems to me it should be in the
capitol of the state where this scenery
is" said the visitor.
1T was painted for the state re-
piled the man in charge, but when 1t
was submitted to the art committee 1t
refused to accept it."
What was the objection?'
"You see the sky is overcast. The
artist put in a gathering storm like an
impending calamity. The art commit.
tee said it was a reflection on the rep.
utation Of the state; that storm such
as it represented was unknown in that
latitude"
Couldn't the artist put in another
sky, one that accorded with the states
reputation for sunshine?"
II suppose he could, but he refused.
He said that the rumpus kicked up by
the art committee warranted the storm
effect on the canvas, and he refused to
bulge. He sent 1t here, and here 1t
remains. Boston Herald.

The people of Mecca and Summit
said that Miss Mehitable Winthrop,
postmistress and general storekeeper,
was "one to speak her mind" There
fore, as she picked up her date stamp
one April morning and brought it
down with a whack on the ink-pad,
she spoke her mind emphatically to
the dozen or more collected in the
room, waiting for their mail.
They must be poor and they may
be shiftless," said Mehitable, "but
they're strangers in a strange land. and
when | get to 1t I'm going to CALL
She referred to the five newcomers In
the long unused yellow house below
the Summit.
We'll, as for me, l shall not CALI"
Mrs. Cramer spoke with asperity, her
upper lip and nose ascending to yet
higher plane than that to which ma
,ture had raised them. Mrs. Cramer,
formerly of Patchunk City, was profess
sedly careful of her social relations.
THE children wanted to go there yes
terday and play with the boys, but do
you suppose I'd let them? No, in

the incline of her nose. Dear only
knows what they'd catch!'

back against the counter. Heiner's

Uncle Billy Loss, aiding his niece
Mehitable with the mail, pushed his
spectacles along the bridge of his nose
toward his eyes, and read aloud the
inscription on an envelope: Mrs.

and he tucked the letter into the
pigeonhole allotted to such P.'s as did

Mrs. Cramer drew her lips up
scornfully. We'll, let them call that

cept bare floors and a stove. There

dows-"
Here the outer door swung open
with jangling of the call-bell fixed to
the top, and three boys of assorted
sizes trailed up to the counter and
looked over. They were hatless, wore
gaping shoes and long blue overalls.
They secured the letter addressed to
Mrs. Peasley and fled down the hill to-
ward the yellow house. while Mrs. Cra-
mer continued. triumphantly:
There! Don't they look like little
vagabonds? l don't believe the entire
family has hat among 'em. They go
wandering around the hills in this aw-
full slush and mud without hats be-
lieve myself they're gypsies."
1.-The man looks sickly," spoke Miss
Mehitable, from behind the stack of
postoffice boxes.
''Sickly or lazy!" amended Edward
Heiner.
Mrs. Cramer stepped to the stack of
post-boxes. Huh! Is this all for me?
Haven't I got letter? Well, those
that want to call, may!" And with
this parting shot at Mehitable, Mrs
Cramer left with her nose high in the
air.

she entered the postofice. Those peo-
