EVENING.

The sun retreated in emblazoned flight,
Earth craved the glory Of twilight hue,
The pastelled colors Of the fading light,
The restful shading OF the seething
blue.
What startling brilliancies his soinc flung
On peak and tableland of cloud,
Coral, amber and ruby-hung
With modest heliotrope ard purple
proud.
The clouds unmantled for a sober grey,
The violet spreads along the low
arched sky,
Nights nectar dropped upon the drouth
of day
And a star twinkled to his mistress
nigh.
Cpreared against the Eastern pediment,
A massive, steely shaft of cloud,
With plinth Of snow, but gashed and
rent
Where vivid lightning through its
grimness plowed.
Soon that the narrowing horizon hid
And peaceful night relieved an earth
distressed.
Ten thousand stars their restiul rays un-
did.
Unnumbered hearts revived at loves
behest.

THE POOR.

AS | read the daily journals,
My soul is touched with pity;
| hear plaintive cry 90 forth
From every town and city.
1t Is cry that thrills NV blood.
And sets my brain athinking;
marvel why SO many should
BE pining for the lack of food.
why speak OF one great brotherhood
And yet so many sinking.
We must bewail those thinly clad,
Ihat through the streets are moving:
Whose limbs are weak, whose looks art
sad
While through the crowd they're shov
ing.
An urchin here, an old man there.
Through streets and allevs stagger:
And women, too, in grim despair,
Where want peeps through then
everywhere
While pomp, with an occasional stare,
VIII lightly past them swagger.
Think, We who have the power to give,
Upon these starving wretches;
le who on earth's best dainties live,
And ne'er Il hand outstretches.
These victims of an adverse fate,
who at starvation's portals wait,
Look on them from your lofty state,
In doing good It's ne er too late,
For kindly acts speak louder far
Than pomp with all its riches.
-IHe +. Jrrsnu.

Fletcher's Dietary Golden Rule.

Here is Horace Fletcher's dietary
golden rule for all seasons of the year:
Do not eat when you are mad or
sad, only when you are glad.
The researches of the scientists have
proved that our nerves play Il most
important part in our digestion.
Many emotions actually stop short
the flow of gastric juices as an angry
landlord might shut off the gas or
water from the fiat of the tenant who
had angered him. These emotions
inhabit, or forbid, the action of GER
tain glands from which should flow
the needed digestive fluid.
If you are worried or angry over
business deal or home trouble
over anything, in fact-you had bet
ter not eat at all just then, for wor-
ry and anger are prOtent factors in
stopping the flow of the gastric
Juices.

THE use of candies in dining rooms

unsulted for the purpose, owing to its

would be an electric one. but the OBJ

the corpuscles exchange their carbon

Since oxygen plays such an impor-
tant part in keeping up the fires that
supply the body with heat and ener-
gy, it Is just rs important that the
animals be well supplied with fresh
air as it is that they have enough
food. In the winter especially the
stables are often closed SO tightly In
the attempt to keep them warm that
the air becomes very deficient In oxy-
gen. In consequence the work Of the
body is delayed and the general

installation of this light. They say
that while the light within the two

make the darkness outside of the

They forgot that, by the installation

DOES it not CRATE at times upon
your aesthetic sense to note the use
often made of words, by people who
should know better? For instance:
In the write-up of wedding by a
neighbOring contemporary. few
days ago, it noted this expression:
The bride is one of our choicest
young ladies' What's the matter
with that? YOU ask. Is it not gram
matically correct? Yes. and no.
According to the logic of technical
grammar it is according to Hoyle.
But we do not ike the use of the
word choicest as used in this way.
1t sounds too much as if the young
man had picked his wife out the
same as one would Il good horse or a
COW. The ability to recognize. and
use, the nice distinctions between
words, having a like meaning in the
main but possessing certain un-
likeness as well is one of the chief
requisites to a good command of the
English language. but is one of the
things sadly neglected in its teach
ing. How many can use the words
droll, comical, funny, ludicrouS. eacf
in sentence by itself, SO that tn,
proper shade of meaning is expressed

A Record yet Unrivaled.

One of the greatest known sue.
cesses in merchandising has been
going On for the past week at the
Dixie Bargain House, and every
one who takes any interest in
current,events knows of the tre-
mendous undertaking which is
now under way there. From the
opening day of the going-out Of
business sale have thousands of
people continually thronsed the
store putting strain on the force
of clerks until they have nearly
exhausted their strength. For
full seven days has this sale been
going on, and the rush has not
abated, with the result that the
large stock is almost completely
sold out. and it is said that the
sale will have to be discontinued
before the sixteen days are up.
The editor Of the News called
to ascertain the almost incredible
reports of the tremendous rush
and it actually took him an hour
before he was able to even gain
the entrance of the establishment.
The most glowing reports were
not exaggerated. the scene which
presented itself to his eyes was
simply marvellous. Never had
he witnessed such crowds Of peo
pie, inspecting goods. selecting,
buying. moving about. laughing
and chatting. The crowd was
varied. home folks and neigh,
bors. residents Of Starkvllle, of
adjacent towns and of the coun-
try, many coming as far as forty
miles. A satisfaction seemed to
prevail everywhere, as was evi
denced by the happy smiles of
the buyers and best atlested by
huge bundles carried out.
Mr. A. Leeser, the manager,
representing the New York and
ST Louis consolidated Salvage
Co. of St Louis, who is in charge
of this gigantic bargain feast, on
beng interviewed, explained the
enormous attraction with the fol-
lowing words: why man alive,
people here nor elsewhere are
ignorant nor deaf Or dumb to
genuine inducements. and when
YOU once convince them of the
fact that you really do what you
say-that your offers are genu
inc. and not of the type Of those
you unfortunately see so often
nowadays mean those dis
graceful eXageratiOns indulged
in of late so frequently by
unscrupulous merchants-when
YOU show the people such in
ducements as are being offered
them at this sale and prove to
them the sincereitv and truthful
ness of your advertisements
then it is only too natural that
people flock to these occasions as
you see it here
For himself, Mr.. Leeser only
says that he knew what he could
do when he started in. and mod
estly brushing the editors COM
pliments aside, excused himself.
