In the old days dueling was almost
q pastime among the Irish squires. 1t
was the dessert to the dinner. There
is the story of the Galway gentleman
who was seen practicing with a pistol
In his back garden. And the expiana-
ton. "Fve dinner party of friends
this evening, and I am getting my
pistol hand into practice" One re-
calls, too. Mr. MacDonagh's note of a
dying squire's last words Of advice to
his son. "God bless you. my boy" he
said. II leave you nothing but debts
and mortgages. But I'll give you one
piece of advice-never drink with your
back to the fire and never fight duel
. with your face to the sun."-LoDdon

MacVeagh Adjourned the Court.

On one occasion Wayne MacVeagh
succeeded in adjourning the supreme
court before the usual hour. Mr.. Mac
Veagh never remained in Washington
overnight if he could help it, and on
this occasion he greatly desired to take
the o'clock train for Philadelphia.
Although talking to the court, he kept
his eye on the clock, and at 3:45, Civ
ing himself just enough time to reach
the station, he ceased his argument
and said: MAY it please your honors
1 move that the court do now adjourn.
I want to catch the o'clock train for
home" The cool audacity Of the re-
quest seemed to paralyZe the justices,
but the chief justice made the custom
airy order without a protest, and Mr..
MacVeagh got his train.

Applied Science.

When James Russell Lowell was
minister to England he was guest at
a banquet at which one Of the speak
ers was Sir Frederick Bramwell. Sir
Frederick was to respond to the toast
Applied Science" It was long after
midnight when the toast was pro-
posed, and several speakers were still
to be called. Rising In his place. the
scientist said:
AT this hour Of the night, or. rath-
er, of the morning, my only interest in
applied science Is to apply the tip of
the match to the side Of the box upon
which alone it ignites and to apply
the fame so obtained to the wick Of a

A moment later Lowell tossed q pa
Der across the table to him bearing
these two lines:

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE.

Adored of the garden.
1t is curious how much sentiment
these Haunting flowers arouse and
have aroused.
Both voiced and unexpressed.
In certain sections the poppy Is
geous showing in the yellow wheat.
If we really wanted a varied and
picturesque landscape We would SOW
the fields with poppy seeds and the
pastures with daisies.
All through New England you see
these flowers in combination with the
greens and yealows and it lends a
witchery to the changing view.
This flower allures because, in a
way, it is symbolic of life. This is of
life, as it is and may be imagined
in combination.
Brief as life is, is the poppy.
Sometimes it lasts for but a day.
Flaming fiercely in the morning, by
the time the sun slips behind the hori-
zon it's petals, like great drops of
blood, lie on the grass beneath it's tall
and slender stalk.
And as full of passion and color as
our ardent dreams fancy life may be.
That life is the most envied which
is the briefest and the fullest of SEN
sation.
Which, as poppy. flames forth
brilliantly and lives intoxicatingly for
the span of a day.
For sages, philosophers, preachers,
poets, scientists have seen, found, OBJ
served or analysed nothing as beauti-
full as youth.
Nor anything that recompenses for
it's loss.
You are fascinated with peoples be.
cause of their evanescence.
For only in evanescence is there
charm.
We want not that which lasts.
Eternity is repellant to the magma
ton. It's saccharine joys pail in pros
pect and already we are ennuied with
the idea of everlasting bliss.
For bliss is never attained through
a tortuous way Of longing, straining
toward a goal ever distant, but in
sight. 1t turks round the unexpected
corner and there we turn, some ex.
quisite day, and suddenly meet it face
to face.
1t slips it's arm in ours, gives'us the
radiant smile-and off we go along
the winding, primrose path.
This is the sort of thing you know
happens although all the time you're
sitting with your eyes hypnotically
fixed on glinting spot of embarrassed
water, the while the soft little breezes
stir the tree-tops like the sound of a
ripping stream.
The ability, or the power or the tai.
ent, or whatever you choose to call
it, to detach yourself from your en-
viron and go sailing away on the rose
hued clouds of fancy, is the most for
tunate possession in life.
No matter what comes, what goes
who is kind or unkind, who fails you
who proves recreant to a trust or de-
spoils an ideal, who destroys your
good faith or rubs the bloom off OF
your dreams-you are able to nullify
all the "stings and arrows of outrage
Gus fortune"
1t is a sort of self obession.
Like the effect of the Installations Of
the poppy.
| Oddly enough, as stated in the start
the poppy has melted to poetic ex
preston as varied in emotion as it is
catholic in origin.
Although little known to this gener
alton as a writer, Mrs. Isaac Jenkin
son, of this city, has produced much
beautiful verse whose distinguishing

Life.
This life's a mystery.
The value Of a thought cannot be told.
But it Is clearly worth thousand lives
Like many mems. And yet men love to
live
AS II mere life were worth their living for
What but perdition will it be to most?
LIES more than breath and the quick
round of blood
It is a great spirit and busy heart
The coward and the small in soul scarce
do live.
One generous feeling. one great thought.
one deed
OF good ere night, would make life longer
seem
Than if each year might number a thou
sand days
Spent this is by nations of mankind.
We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts.
not breaths;
In feelings. not in figures on dial.
We should count time by heart throbs
He most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts
the best.

THE LURE OF THE POPPY
Brilliant and Evanescent Blossoms which Have Fixed
Poetic Attention and Appeal to the Imagination
of the Day-dreamer.

and elegance of diction.
And that the poppy has appealed to
her imagination is shown in the fol-
lowing verses inspired by these mys-
FERROUS and occult flowers:
The Poppy's Song.
Blossom-crowned the slender stalk
OF the poppy, pale and tall,
Growing in the messy walk,
Close beside the shadowing wall.
Bright, beyond the palings low,
Wealth of gracious buds unfold,
Roseate flush and lily's snow,
Brilliant CLEAN of marigold
Pinks, sweet-steeped in spicy dew,
Roses, ravishingly fair,
Dainty blooms of skyey blue,
Swaying in the scented air,
Glow as in life's April-tide,
Perfume-fraught and beauty-tossed-
But some sweet has strangely died,
Some rare witchery is lost!
Seek l then the poppy pale,
Trembling with the zephyr's sigh,
Ever sunless, lone and frail,
Where the messy walk goes by.
For it breathes a message low
To the worn and wounded heart
Grown aWeary of it's woe
Waiting from the world apart.
Blithesome words the blossoms say,
But the Poppy's song is best,
Whispered through the summer day
Bruised heart, forget and rest.
That writer in distant land has
also been impressed with the exquis-
lite quality of their suggestion is seen
in these verses translated from the
French by Mrs. Jenkinson:
Poppies.
When life wears it's evening gloom,
Spring but saddens the worn heart;
'Tis the mockery of perfume
That it's bursting flowers impart.
Joyless faunt the blossoms rare
In the mornings dewy air.
Pluck, o weary friend, the leaf
That alone can silence grief;
Lay it, glowing fiercely bright,
On the collins bed of white
Sheltered by the following wheat,
Beautiful the poppy blows
Let me drink the juices sweet,
That my grief-worn eyes may close.
Fruitless this vague Journey seems
Dreams still follow baseless dreams.
What would'st thou, o hooking Spring!
With thy rose-tints, pale or deep?
Only death fraught peoples bring,
Poppies that will guard my sleep.
And, as a finale, this column adds
some verses by one, better known to
her than any other, which were
published several months ago in the
their subject this same alluring and
magnetic ornament of the garden:
Poppes.
Burning-brilliant in the sun
My peoples!
The whole color gamut run
My poppies!
Haunting gayly on and on,
Til their sight the senses stun,
And their brief, hot life is done
My poppies!
| So passionate and dangerous
Are poppies!
So insolent-they anger us
Are poppies!
| They dazzle like loves madness,
They lure with pain and gladness,
And they leave enchanting sadness
| My poppies!

DENIES YELLOW PINE cAARGeE
Kansas City Lumberman Claims Price
Has Not Advanced Abnormaliy.

Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 26.--Further
testimony tending to show that the
price of yellow pine lumber has not
increased more rapidly in the last
ten years than other commodities, was
given today by Charles S. Keith OF
this city who began his third day on
the witness stand at the hearing OF
the states custer suit against twenty
six lumber companies charged with
violation of the antitrust law. Mr..
Keith testified that corn, oats, rye,
potatoes and cattle had increased in
price at far more rapid rate than lum.
Der.
I'm the last ten years." Mr.. Keith
said, the yellow pine lumber trade
has suffered severe competition from
construction. To combat this the aim
of the Yellow Pine Manufacturers
association has been to find new uses
for yellow pine. The association has
encouraged the use of it for making
creosoted paving blocks, for interior
finishing and for other purposes
which would benefit the consumer"
