 bright;
 The sunshine mocNed the smile of you For 1t was not so good a sight You always came when skies were fair When roses blazed along the lane Ana there was gladness everywhere You dfd not come in days of rain You always came when joy was here, when there was happiness to spare, when there was never aught to fear Not any bitterness to bear Aou always cape when laughter leaped And sorrow thrummed the door in vain when pleasure was on pleasure heaped- You did not come in hours of pain. You always came when song was free When music echoed from the walls Your voice blent with the melody Ihat rang triumphant through the
 halls
 You always came when rapture thrilled The air and in sweet echoes rushed; You did not come when songs were
 stilled,
 And so l count you as my friend, For laughter, sunshine and blithe song Are baubles we may give or lend Nor care to hold them overlong, But these my sorrows are mine own; l hold them sacred in my care And l would keep them mine alone The others are for all to share.

BETZVDI1E TALES
 Glaphyra Quat and Bedilla
Ellis Darker Bu7eEd HAD Author Pigs IS sPias" Etc. 8Ka2 By PETER NEWELL

Miss Glaphyra Quat is one of the proudest aristocrats in Betzville, and for long time it was a matter of sor- row with her that she was the last or the Quats. For years she tried strenuouSly to accomplish matri- monial alliance with anyone, so that the Quat line might not become ex- tlnct, but no one seemed to want Glaphyra; she was too long and thin, and ran too much to jaw bone and shanks, and by the time she was 50 she was pretty well resigned, and felt that when she died the last Quat would perish off the face of the earth. She would sit in her rocking chair and sigh, and knit the kind of stock ings the Quats had always worn first stripe of red and then stripe of green, and then another stripe of red-and think how bad it was for the world that the Quats were about to leave if forever.
 But last June a ray of joy came in- to her life. She read in the paper that Mr. Darwin decided that mankind is descended from the monkeys, and as soon as she read it she arose in her stately manner and smiled at the DOT trait of Ebenezer Quat. If what Mr. Darwin said was true she was no longer without relatives, for if the Quat line was traced back to the monkey ancestor and then traced down on the monkey side there must be a lot of monkeys in the world that were distant cousins of the Quats.

But in a Few Months She Managed to Climb to the Top of the Bed
 post and Jabber.

This thought warmed Glaphyra' S heart, and the next time circus came to Betzville she stood before the monkey cage looking at the ring tailed jumper and the blue-faced bab- boon with tears of family pride in her eyes.
 When the circus left town Glaphyra seemed doubly empty, and she longed to have a Quat come and live with her. Luckily an Italian count with a wheezy handorgan happened along about then, leading a thin and flea bit Quat at the end of a chain. When Quat would hustle around and gather up pennies, and gathering pennies had always been a habit with the Quats, so Glaphya knew this must be a cousin of hers, on the monkey side So she hunted up one of her red and green stockings and dug into it and bought the cousin. The first thing she did when she had tied the Quat to the leg of the bed was to sit down and knit it pair of red and green stock ings, for they were one of the immut- able Quat customs, and Glaphyra was proud to perpetuate the manners of her ancestors. Everything Glaphyra did was based on something one of her ancestors had done, and as far back as she could trace them they had been sedate and severe, and as stiff as ramrods, and as puritanical as pie.
 So Glaphyra set about turning Be- dilla-as she called the long-tailed Quat-into real Quat. It was a hard job. Bedilla seemed to have more effervescense of spirit than ran in the human branch of the Quats. No Quat had ever jumped gracefully from the second story window into an oak tree and then ran up the tree to hang from the topnost limb. No Quat had ever skinned up the bed post and stood on her head on the top of the post. And, so far as Glaphyra knew, no Quat had ever swung by her tail from a chan delier; no Quat would have considered that ladylike. Glaphyra tried her best to make Bedilla like the oldest Ouat of whom there was any record-Mrs. Waiting-for-the-Coming Susan Ann Quat of Nantucket, but she couldn't

Tree Planting on Waste Lands.

Coke of Holkham, so we learn from MT. w. H. R. Curriers' short History of English Agriculture" began his great agricultural work about 1776 on an estate where, as old Lady Townshead said, "all you will see will be one blade of grass. and two rab. bits fighting for that" in fact it was little better than rabbit warren. He transformed the bleak, bare country. side by planting 50 acres of trees every year until he had 5000 acres yell covered, and in 1882 had probably the unique experience of embarking in a ship which was built of oak grown from the acorns he had himself planted. Between 1776 and 1S42 (the date of the death) he is said to have spent f536.992 on improving his es tate.
