A flower, bird-note sweet;

Loose iatchets for our feet;

For drink the hillside spring
And but for heart com partnership
The love of lettering.

American Products That Cost More
Here Than Abroad.

The following interesting letter APP
pears in the May American Magazine:
fIn reference to the inclosed clipping
from your magazine, permit me to say
that know that these facts are true,
that American made articles are sold
cheaper even to ports where there is the
additional expense of double shipments,
l. e., double transportation, than they
are in the United States
"AIy husband, the late Solomon Ber-
liner of New York, was American con-
sui at Tenerife, Canary Islands, for
eleven years, and made my home
there for the past nine years
Il know it to be fact, and the sta
tistics at the state department will
show, that hardware, farming imple-
ments and machinery, sheeting, per-
fumery, canned goods, patent and pro
prietsry medicines, lard, pressed meats,
etc, are mostly from the states, but
shipped via England France or Spain
there being no direct steamship com.

country under whose flag they arrive,
These articles are all sold cheaper
in the Canaries than they are in the
states!

biggest importers of the islands, asked

Why Young Wives and Husbands Often
Antagonize Each Other.

Margaret f. Sangster says, in the
course of an interesting article in the
June Woman's Home Companion:
Two households may stand side by
side on the same street, two families
live within hailing distance OF one am
other for years in the same community,
and yet have opposite tastes, sentiments
and convictions. The children of each
growing up together may marry and,
until they reach the period OF new adj
justment, never suspect how antagonis-
tic has been their early training. This
is one reason why the first year of mar
riage is so beset with briers and thorns.
Everybody knows that until people ac-
tually dwell under the same roof, they
do not mutually become acquainted. A
single week spent with a friend at
houseparty does more to promote in
timacy or Indifference than years of
superficial social intercourse. The touch
and-go meetings incidental to teas and
receptions are the merest suggestions Of
personality, but when one sits day after
day beside the fire or at the table with
a neighbor, each ceasing to be on guard,
real understanding begins. Even cor
respondence which, to degree. is in the
nature of revelation, does not make
people so well acquainted and is by
no means so true test of disposition
and temperament as the test is Of liv-
ing together. During courtship and be-
rothal an engaged pair are on proba-
ton. Without effort each displays quail
tiles of charm that cannot fail to be at
traetive. The most ordinary speech has
a flavor of compliment The future hus-
band and wife are walking through
land of dreams Shall the dreams come
true2 They surely viii II on both sides
there are fixed principles of honor, jus
tice and fidelity"

Writes Fullerton:
There is a hero whose name | never
knew, who perhaps made the closest
decision on record in game between
New Orleans and Nashville few years
ago. One ball, which, according to un-
prejudiced players who spoke after the
bitterness died out, might have been
called either way, decided the season.
The ball was pitched close to- perhaps
a portion of it over, the outside corner
Of the plate. II it was a strike, New
Orleans won the pennant II a ball,
Nashville had chance The umpire
called it ball, making the count three
balls, two strikes, two out--and one
ball left to decide the Southern league
pennant. The next ball slipped from
Breitenstein's hand as he pitched and
Nashville won the pcnnant."

Worth While Plays as Result of Won

LET us suppose that the woman's
club in your town took a practical in.

and the woman's club in the next one

interest in it's local theatre" writes Wal
ter Prichard Eaton in the June mum

pose play, quality unknown, were to
be presented in the latter place Monday,
and in your town Tuesday. Members OF
your neighboring club would make it
their business to see this play, and tele-
phone regarding it. If it were cheap
and worthless affair, your club would
be thus forewarned. Now, suppose you
passed on word to the next town on the
circuit how long do you suppose play
manager would care to combat this ST.
lent opposition9
But that is only negative, and ii it
went no further, would end by closing
up the theatre altogether. Suppose,
now, an unknown attraction was re-
ported from the next town, by those you
trust, as worthy OF patronage. Your
club gets the news. Instead OF be-
ing, as so often at present, suspicious
of the unknown, of this second com
pany,' a large section of your commu-
nifty turns out with confidence and goes
to see 1t, passing on the word up the
line. How long do you suppose it would
be before circuit of one-night stands,
thus organized through their womens
clubs or similar societies into sensi-
bic and concerted action, became known
to the managers OF plays as far away
as New York, causing them to send over
that circuit good plays instead of bad,

now demanded for the higher grades OF

A Fly in the Ointment.

There is fly in the ointment Of
us editors who, under the new law of
last session, have been getting our pay
for running the railroad timetable in
our papers in mileage good only in Yer
mont" This latter limitation isn't the
Ay. It comes in warning from the
interstate commerce commission to the
railroads that these mileages are not
only good only in Vermont" but they
are not good for use on any interstate
trips. Thus if the editor wants to go
to White River Junction and return,
be can do so, using his advertising mile
age, but If he wants TO 60 to West Leb-
anon, n f., just across the river, he
cannot use the mileage for any part Of
the journey The books have been called
in and stamped to this effect. Great is
