WINTER on TIE FARM

When It's time to leave the blqnhe'''
And get out upon the floor
That's as cold as any icebcls
Near tho frigid Greenland shorc'
Start tho kitchen IRE TO blazing.
Put tito kettle on and go
Out to feed the cows and horses
Wadin' through the dri(tod snow
Then 1t is I feel a turnin'
or my love for country life -
And there comes kind OF yearnin
For tho city and its strife.
When the water basins frozen
To tho kitchen table tight,
And the wintry winds a-whi2zln'
Through broken window light;
When there's frost upon the doorhhop
And at every crack and chink.
With my artics by tho cook stove
Frozen solid to the zinc
Then n city flat seems better,
Where the steam heat throbs an nisn'

 white; lie closed the door with a shaking
 hand And trembled so he could hardly

 sigh. And said he guessed he was going to

 dead, Unless Ma helped him on to the bed. We phoned the nearest doctor at

TIES OF BLOOD.

When Chief Boatswain Daniel Montague, United States navy, was examined by the physicians at the I League Island Navy Yard two or three weeks ago, they decided that the only thing that would save ms life was transfusion of blood. VOL unteers willing to give their plooo were called for and one of the flrst to soffer was Richmond Pearson Hoo- son. formerly of the navy. The m terest of the incident is in no wise impaired by the fact that a voinh- teer of more robust physique was accepted in preference to MT. Hop- son.
 MT. Hobon's reason for volunteer inc for the service required was de- oidadlv romantic. He was Montagues s officer on the Merrlmac when that ship was purposely sunk in the mouth of the harbor Of san tiago during the Spanish war Tn an attempt to bottle the fleet command ed bv Admiral Cervera. What could he more natural than that the leader of that hazardous expedition should offer his blood to save the life or one of his companions in the under talxing9-New York Herald.
