FAMILIAR TYPE OF oRAToRY

Leonora O'Reilly. who is one of the
most powerful orators among the
American suffragettes, was compli-
mented on her eloquence.
"It is my splendid subject" said
Miss O'Reilly modestly, that makes
me many telling things to say, and |
say them simply; that is ALL"
She smiled.

The Can of Spring

led on the brook in little shifting
ripples The mellow call of the robins
floated from the maple trees farther
away, and from behind them came the
drumming of a woodpecker Before
them stretched rolling green fields ofI
wheat. Something insistent, alluring,
in the air, made their blood bound.
Once Jared broke the silence, ,"Gee!
he murmured from a surcharged heart'
Tubby only nodded. He understood.
Then they fished on.
They started in surprise, when from
the far distance came the jangle of a
bell.
"I thought it was most dinner time,
Tubby cried.
-scrambling to their feet they di-
vided their spoils and loped home.
Tubby's squat figure going up the
creek. Jared racing back across the
meadow. He limped a trifle because of
his sore toe, but he did not mind. SIX
fish,
There was a lovely smell Of fresh
doughnuts in the kitchen and of corned
beef with new cabbage for dinner.
Through the open door he could watch
the old cat sprawled in the sun boxing
the ears of her tumbling kittens. Occa-
sionally a solemn hen marched across
the open space. And the warm spring
sun shone and the wind waved the lilac
plumes.
He seemed to drift away on the
tide of spring days that stretched on
indefinitely. There were early daWns,
with the sun just rising, and with
stamping horses reluctantly leaving
their munching to be harnessed to the
plow. He could smell the black, rich
earth. There were moments of rest
under the trees and there were huge
drafts of water from the big jug and
toVIal calls to neighbors Gathering by
the town in wagons
There was always that joy in the air
that got in his blood; that feeling of
a fresh start, another beginning. a
wonder as to the fruits which the sum-
mer would bring forth. He breathed
deep and squared his shoulders and
lived for it was spring and the year
was before him and he was young.
Seeing the smoking iron in his hands,
Jared Miller stared about the great,
reverberating, dingy shop with realiz-
ing terror that was sickening.
Through what steps had he come to
this-this changing, smothering night
mare that roared and gripped and
crushed even his lungs and heart! Back
there where he had just been a minute
ago the years had kept his face un-
changed, waiting for him. There were
robins again in the maple trees and
gray,A fragrant dawns and quietness.
He had never noticed before how
fiendish mere noise can be. The breeze
still blew through the machine shop
door and the call of the farm, his in
heritance through generations, came to
him.
With an irresistible impulse Jared
Miller hurled the iron Gathering to the
floor. Then he sought the foreman.
81 want my time" he said gruffly, a
little breathlessly.
He was going to answer the call.
Outside the vagrant breeze waited for
him.-Chicago Daily News.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-06-19

EARED MILLER did not heed the
clangor and roar that reverberated
- through the big machine shops
His ears were long dulled to the mo-
notonous, thunderous iron noises, as
the office mans are dulled to the clat-
ter and rattle of the downtown streets.
Stolidly he toiled on, the muscles
standing out on his bare, blackened
arms and throat. Fellow workmen
passed and repassed, grim, bedeWed
with their labor. Ugliness, blackness
fatigue were all about him, beating
down by sheer weight the hghter,
pleasanter things of life. A sudden
fierce rebellion which he did not rec
ognize shook the man. Standing still,
he wiped his forehead, his head de-
family upthrown.
AS he stood thus, through the open
door came a whirlng, vagrant breeze;
1t had been warm outdoors when Jared
went to work, but he had not noticed
the warmth. 1t was long since wealth
er had meant much to him. But thls
breeze was so soft and dancing SO
truly fragrant with unnamable, vague
perfume that his nostrils dilated.
Spring! That was what was IN the
air which had darted into the roaring
gloomy building-spring from miles
away. 1t struck him In the race with
q hypnotic touch.
With a strange thrill in his veins he
mechanically went on with his task.
Still, he was not there in the shop any
longer.
Through some magic which he did
not pause to question, Jared was sit
ting on a tuft of moist, springy grass
carefully tying his handkerchief ABOUT
his toe which he had just stuobed on
a stone in the meadow path for ne
was barefoot. His trousers came only
to his knees and he was strangely
small and active. Beside him lay an
old fishing pole, and there was also
a tin can containing wriggly THINGS
and once a. rabbit darted from cover
and shot across his vision he hali
started up at sight of it and then re-
sumed his ministrations to his foot.
There was more important business on
hand than futile rabbit chasing.
off in the pale, baby blue sky fiock
of birds winged their way, and the
bov watched them enjoyingly. HIS
snubbv little nose twitched as he
shifted the air which bore faint sweet
ness to his nostrils. That was nlacs'
purple and dew heavy, down by tne
gate-and this was the crabapple bios
soms-and this
With a whoop he had sprung TO ms
feet and grabbed the can and pole :,
Down by the willow clump shrill
whistle had split the air. 1t was
Tubby Bates. Jared knew that Iuppy'
too. had a battered pole and can
like his own. He tore across the mead
ow, yelling at the top of his lungs IN
toxicated with it all.
AS Jared parted the willows Iu1py ,,,
was grabbing at a slippery, shiny elu
sive hit of silver flying at the end of
his drawn in line. The newcomer
stood breathless until the fish was
CAPTURED and strung. Tubby merely
grinned a greeting and Jared grinned
back. ?. o. s+iu

THE LITTLE GREEN TRAIL

oh, the little green trail through the valley
Is calling me on and away,
Away from the hot. tired city,
All the close of a hard, weary day;
On and away toward the mountain,
Over the hills to dale,
Where water from natures own fountain
Cools the moss on the little green trail.
oh, the little green trail through the valley,
Where fairies and gobins dwell
And dreamers worship in silence,
To the sound of an Angelus bell;
At twilight to list to the singing,
OF soft-throated thrush in the vale,
While calm, gentle zephyrs are bringing
Sweet peace to the little green trail.
oh, the little green trail through the valley,
That leads to the land of Forget
Where day-dreams come true to a dreamer,
And there's no such thing as regret;
To live and to find life worth living,
Yea, succeed and never to fail.
For love is the prize they are giving
At the end of the little green trail.
Percy w. Reynolds, in the May Bohemian.

FUN OF THE ELKS

Local Elks are having a lot of fun
with a member of their lodge, a Fif-
teenth street jeweler, says the Denver
Post. The other day his wife was in
the jewelry store when the telephone
rang. She answered it.
Il want 20 speak to Mr.. H." said
a womans voice.
"Who is this?" demanded the jewelers.

Elizabeth"
"Well, Elizabeth, this is his wife.
Now, madam, what do you want?"
"I want to speak to Mr.. H"
you'll talk to me"
"Please let me speak to Mr. H.
The jewelers. wife grew angry. Look
here, young lady" she said, "who are
you that calls my husband and insists
on talking to him?"
I'm the telephone operator at Eliza
beth" came the reply.
And now the Elks take turns calling

KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE

Student and Schoolmaster, July, 1870.
Keep 1t before the people.
That Earth was made for mani
That flowers were strown
And fruits were grown,
To bless and never to ban.
That sun and rain,
And corn and grain,
Are yours and mine, my brother!
Free gifts from Heaven
And freely given
To one as well another!
Keep it before the people!
That man is the image of God!
His limbs and soul
Ye may not control
With shackle. shame, or rod!
We may not be sold
For silver or gold
Neither you nor l, my brother
For freedom was given
BY God from HeaVeni
To one as we'll as another!
Keep 1t before the people!
That famine and crime and VOC
Forever abide
St.ll side by side
With luxury's dazzling show
That Lazarus crawls
From Dives halls.
And sterves at his gate, my brother!
Yet life was given
BY God from Heaven
To one as well as another!
Keep it before the people!
That the poor man claims his need
The right of soil
And the right of toll,
From spur and bride freed
The right to bear,
And the right to share
With you and me, my brother!
Whatever is given
BY God from Heaven
To one as well as another!

HELPFUL HINTS

An exchange gives the following
hints for the amelioration OF the
housemothers arduous labors:
1. Lay tumblers down on their sloe
in hot water and roll over quickly ana
thew will not crack in washing pc
cause the glass expands evenly
2. When obliged to stand long on
hardwood floor let it be upon rupper
mat. or, if you have not this, upon
verv heavy wooden rug. Since L pro
vided one for my laundress she stanos
at the ironing table the usual NUMBER
of hours without the usual fatigue one
of my friends has all the shoes worn
bv her servants furnished with rubber
heels. 1t is a saving of health and' IN
cidentally, of the polished floors.
Some years ago Uncle Sam issued an
order that rubber mats be provided for
the use of clerks who were compelled
to stand for hours together, when 1t
was found that many were incapacl-
tated for work by kidney and cognate
diseases, induced by standing upon
hard unyielding surfaces.
In a handsome new church the
women laid linoleum over the hard
wood floor in the kitchen to save Ia
tigue.
3. If in doubt as to the sweetness of
the cream for coffee do not put it into
the cup and then pour the hot liquid
upon it, but pour in the coffee and
then stir in the cream. 1t will not
curdle as it is likely to do if the cream
goes in first.
This was told me by an expert wait
ress. and l have found it invaluable.
4. "A cure of prevention" is as good
a rule by which to save wear, time and
stitches as it is with regard to health.
Put skirt braid on the bottom ruffle of
silk petticoats. 1t will prevent fraying
and it also gives a little additional
stiffness to the ruffle. Then put in,
when required, a dust ruffle of good,
not heavy, skirt lining instead of silk,
and the skirt will retain the new look
for long time.
5. 1t may not be generally known
that fresh pineapple is a perfect diges-
tive agent for meat eaters, enabling
those who need meat diet and find diff
ficulty in digesting it to eat all the
flesh they wish.
and has been of great value to many
who would otherwise be obliged to
forego eating meat almost entirely.
6. Put up double quantity of cher
ries this season, and next winter use
them in gelatine and in tapioca pud-
dings in place of other fruits. The
flavor is very appetiziGg and the rich
red makes a pretty dessert dish.
7. To make a wholesome and nutri-
tious dish for Semi-invalid, bake lima
beans as you would navy beans, adding
to each coffee cupful of the beans a
tablespoonful of salad oil instead of
the usual pork used for the New Eng
land dish.

THE SEVEN STAGES OF LIFE
All the worlds a stage,


And all the men and women merely players
They have their exits and their entrances
And one in his time plays many parts e.
The worst of which is that he acts the lie.
The act having seven stages. First the NIB;
An artless thing transparent as the air.
Essays he next deceit of a subtler sort,
Involving something Of malign intent,
But nowise dangerous. Fabrication next
He tries, with just enough Of truth therein
To give it virtuous sembance. Craftier still,
He next employs two untruths so disposed
That seemingly they make truth. And then,
Grown bolder tries preyaricatlon bald
Daringly trusting to a storm OF words
TO breed forgetfulness. The sixth stage shifts
The action into falsehood yet adorned
BY some last vestiges of deeency
And sense of honor. Last Of all the lie;
The bold faced. black, audacious. odious lie;
The brazen, villainous, blank blanked, SANDER
GUS lie;
Sans base. sans sense, sans shame. sans de-
cency.

cALcuLATINe INTEREST

One of the shortest and simplest
methods known for calculating inter
est is to multiply the principal by the
number of days, and divide as follows:
For 4 per cent. divide by 80.
For per cent divide by 72.
For per cent, divide by co.
For per cent, divide by 52
For 8 per cent, divide by 49,
Then point off four decimal places.
For instance TO find interest on $3.50
for 90 days at per cent, multiply 1850
by %, divide by 45 and point off four
decimal places. The result is $736.
