 H HE tendency aiiong suicides and
 wculd-be snio .dcs to seek the most
 conspicuous accessible place to die in seems to be eIow;ng. This fact supports the theory that a large number of suicides are forced to self-murder by suggestion It is essier to diagnose the malady than to find'a a remedy. There are eases Cf suicide that the world has all most agreed to call justifiable. That point need not bc argued Il might be wis sr to call them compTe llensible, which the cases of deliberate sell. murder in public places, such as the well-lighted reception room of a hotel, cc. tainiy are not to normal human beings.

MOLAssEs FOR ROADS

From the Newark News.
 Just think of surfacing the New Jersey roads with sugar and molasses. Not ex- actly the kind bought at the grocery stores, but the sweet, sticky by-prodpct of the great beet sugar refineries This sub stance has been tried on the country roads in the west and the claim is made that a couple of applications year. we'll rolled down, will keep the roads dustless and in fairly good condition and will be cheap CT than oil. If there is not enough of the sugar-molasses-syrup by-product in this country, large quantities can be brought here from Porto Rico. Such treat ment might make a very sweet road for time, but 1t is doubtful if it would stand the wear and tear of traffic in this state,

MY LOST YOUTH: LONGFELLOW

~ FTEN think of the beautiful That is seated by the sea;
 Often in thought go up and down The pleasant streets of that dear old
 town,
 And my youth comes back to me.
 And verse of Lapland song Is haunting my memory still:
 "A boys will is the winds will And the thoughts of youth are long, long
 thoughts" can see the shadowy lines of it's trees,
 And catch, in sudden gleams, The sheen of the ar-surroundng seas, And islands that were the Hesperidesr Of all my boyish dreams. And the burden of that old song, - It murmurs and whispers still: "A boys will is the winds will, And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts I remember the black wharves and the And the sea-tides tossing free; And Spanish sailors with bearded lips, And the beauty and mystery of the ships, And the magic of the sea. And the voice of that wayward song Is singing and saying still: "A boys Will IS the wind VIII, And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts remember the bulwarks on the shore, And the fort upon the hill;
 The sunrise gun, with it's hollow roar The drum-beat repeated OCT and OCT, And the bugle wild and shril, And the music of that old song Throbs in my memory still: | "A boys will Is the winds will, And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts | I remember the sea-lights far away | How it thundered-o'er the tide! And the dead captains, as they lay
 In their graves, oerlooking the tranquil bay, | Where they in battle died. And the sound of that mournful song Goes through me with a thrill: | "A boys will Is the winds will,
 And the thoughts of youth are long. long l thoughts <x~

Labor Day

Today Is a legal holiday in all the states and territories. It is a day set for the especial enjoyment of the millions of toilers throughout the length and breadth of the land.
 Labor Day is one of the most rational of American holidays. We observe Christmas Day and celebrate the ami versary of the declaration of indepen- denee and the anniversaries of a few of the nations illustrious men; and on either side of Mason and Dixon s line memorial days are fittingly observed to honor the brave who fell on the field of war. There are none too many legal holidays Each one is inspired by lofty sentiment and each has it's lesson.
 The brawny men of the shops and mines in this industrial district-all the artisans and laborers in general hereabouts-make tip great host. They are not only citi- zens worthy of everybodys high respect and thoughtful consideration. but without them Birmingham woudl not be Birming ham and the Birmingham district would never be able to keep to the front.
 All honor to the laborers. May this Labor Day be one long remembered for its peace, comradeship and humanizing uplift.

, The shadows of Deering's Woods;
 An dthe friendships old and the early loves
 Come back with Sabbath sound. as of doves In quiet neighborhoods. And the verse of that sweet old song, It futters and murmurs still: "A boys will is the winds will.
 And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts
 remember the gleams and glooms that dart Across the schoolboy's brain;
 The song and the silence in the heart That in prophecies, and in part , Are longings wild and vain. And the song of that f1tful song Sings on, and is never still: "A boys will is the winds will.
 And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts"
 There are things of which I may not speak;
 There are dreams that cannot die; There are thoughts that make the strong heart weak,
 And bring a palor into the cheek | And mist before the eye And the words of that fatal song Come over me like a chill: "A boys will is the winds will And the thoughts of youth are long. long thoughts" Strange to me now are the forms meet | When I visit the dear old town; But tfe native air is pure and sweet And Il trees that o'ershadow each we'll K own street. As ley balance up and down, Are singing the beautiful song | Are signing and whispering still: | "A boys will is the winds wili>
 And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts
 And Deering's Woods are fresh and fair, | And with joy that is almost pain
 My heart goes back to wander there.
 And among the dreams of the days that were, | l find my lost youth again. | And the strange and beautiful song. l The groves are repeating it still: l "A boys will is the winds will.

"Rab and His Friends"

Doctor Browns masterpiece in litera-
ture is the story, "Rab and His Friends"
Rab was a great mastiff owned by
carter. The narrative begins with a
dog fight. and includes one of the most
pathetic incidents of human experience,
told from beginning to end with deli
cate touch and a perfect sympathy.
Another story by him is almost equally
famous-the tale of little Marjorie
Fleming, the wonderful child, with her
pretty ways and quaint ideas, which
she wrote down some times in rhyme
and some times in amusing prose. The
story Of Rab is founded on fact, and
that of Marjorie is wholly true. The
doctors early love OF Latin asserted
itself when he gave his collected writ
ings the title "Horae Subsecivae."

lated into Spare Hours. ."-Rossiter
