Home, Sweet Home.

Home, sweet homel How many men
Have sung hat song the world
around,
And longed to find themselves again
Upon that sweetly hallowed
ground,
The sailor on the distant sea,
The hunter high upon the hill,
Each of them dwelling tenderly
Upon its sweet relations still.
The love of kindred fills the place,
To keep it beautiful and sweet
Through all the years that come
apace,
And whatsoever We may meet.
Nor ever man so base but tears
Have dimmed his eyes the way
along
For knowing through the long, long
years
The truth of that immortal song
Home, sweet home. The world
grows old,
But that sweet song is yer young,
And will retain its tender hold
So long as ever songs are sung,
There is no other place the same,
Wherever human feet may wend,
And in that song we shall acclaim
Our great love for ii to the end

Arthur was a feeble-minded son of
a family who were none too bright
themselves. The father was often
compelled to apologize for mis- sons
remarks when they had company.
One day the family entertained the
minister for dinner and Arthur made
a remark that called for an expla-
nation.
You see," began the father, when
Arthur was a small boy he ran away
and wandered into the woods. A big
storm came up and blew a limb off
a tree, striking him on the head.
Since the accident he has never been
very bright"
Arthur was silent for a few mo-
ments before he blurted out with;
Huh! 1t was a durn long limb
struck the whole family."-In Octo-
Der National Monthly.

The Field of Peace

LII Atfu VI taIG
| know where the birds and grasses
sing
And whispering hooks and merriest
brooks
Call over the meadow bars;
Where a dewy path winds through
clustering vines,
Where reddest Strawberries grow;
And lips may cool in a shady pool
Do you ask, Whereaway? I know
And the sweet reward of a task well
done
Is to slip from the mesh of men,
To bid goodbye to the restless throng,
To wander beyond their ken,
And out where the fields and the
skies are broad,
And the daisies bloom like stars,
| roam and dream of a field of peace,
With the world outside the bars.
Do you ask "whereaway?" You will
know some day;
Some brook, some bower will tell!
Or down on the h%urrying street of
life,
If you bark. you will hear a bell.
1t will call Come away" and your
soul cannot stay,
Though fingers faithfully toll;
Less of self, less of pelf; you will
lift your eyes
From the dust of the gray worlds
soil.
Then the heart shall wake, and the
eyes shall behold,
And the jubilant soul shall hear
The music of life Ger the toll and
strife
Grow into a song of cheer.
And out where the birds and the
grasses sing,
And the sweet thoughts bloom like
stars.
With the world outside the bars.

She Needed Him

When the late Senator Taylor was
governor of Tennessee he issued a
great many pardons t. men and wo-
men confined in penitentiaries or
iails in hat state. His reputation
as a ''pardoning governor" resulted
in his being besieged By everybody
who had a relative i%nearcerated. One
morning an old negro woman made
her way into the executive Offices
and asked Taylor TO pardon her
husband. who was in jail.
What's he in for" asked the
governor.
"Fo' nthin' but stealin' a ham,"
explained the wife.
you don't want me to pardon
him" argued the governor. If he
got out he would only make trou-
BILE for you again"
"'Deed | does want him out oh
dat place." she objected. Il needs
dat man
why do YOU need him." inquir-
ed TAYLOR patiently.
"Me an de chillun," she said Sc
riously. needs another ham"

He stood aside. where none might
see,
And watched her passing down the
street.
Her look was glad, and tenderly
She guided a sweet baby's feet.
He wondered, seeing her go by,
If she recalled a certain day
When she was not toe proud to sigh
Because he coldly turned away.
He'd fancied that she might be sad
And waiting still when he returned
To claim the love that once he had
In foolish haste too lightly spurn-
ed.
But, with a look that he had ne'er
Supposed might glorify her face
She led. a baby past him where
He peered out from his hiding
place.
He turned away at last to go
Alone through life, to sadly dream
OF lows that he might never know
And pledges he might not redeem,
While she, recalling what he said,
When first they loved and gladly
planned,
Went smiling down the street and
led
Her sisters baby by the hand.

Jack London as a Musician

Jack London, when on a recent
visit to New York, says Judge. was
introduced to a musician in one of
the popular Broadway cafes.

How was that?" he asked.

The Leaves Give Thanks

All the cheerful little leaves
Were lying mute and slain.
Their tender summer faces
MARRIED with age and pain.
Through the threadbare forest
STROBE the wind and rain.
I wept because the sky was grey,
Because the leaves were dead.
Because the winter came SO fast,
And summers sweet was sped;
And because | too was mortal
All flesh Is grass" l said.
But while l was lamenting
The woods began to sing,
The voice of all dead leaves came up
As when they sang in spring;
Praise God" they sang, for winter
And stormy harvesting.
Praise God who uses old things
To serve the new things need
And turns us into earth again
That next years roots may feed;
Roots but for us and u decay
Would shrivel in the seed.
ITO the thousand, thousand summers
Our summer has been thrust,
But the snow is very gentle
Above it's rage and rust.
Lie down, lie down, oh brothers,
With the thousand summers dust.

The Mosquito


Geo. Fitch says: THE mosquito
Is the smallest known bird of prey.
1t Is o%ne-fourth of an inch long and
weighs less than a masher's brain
but 1t can hoist a full grown nan
out of a porch chair more quickly
than a derrick, and even after he
has gone indoors it will follow him
and feast upon him until death doth
them part.
THE mosquito consists of a drill
ling outfit, a suction pump and a res
ervoir attached to a small aeroplane
with a loud exhaust. He lives on
human gore and his appetite is SO
enormous that three large yearling
mosquitoes will almost entirely de-
flate a fat baby in an haur.
The mosquito obtains his meal by
roosting on his host and drilling a
prospect shaft with great rapidity,
after which he lowers his pumping
outfit and drinks until he bulges.
Owing to the mosquitoes earelessness
in not sterilizing his instruments he
generally poisons his victim, causing
a lump which varies In size from a
peanut in the daytime when you can
see 1t to a watermelon at night when
you can't. 1t should be the duty
of all citizens to catch and sterilize
as many mosquitoes as possible. This
can be done by boiling them for an
hour.
Some mosquitoes carry yellow
fever and germs and distribute
them with the enthusiasm of a Roose-
man distributing Bull Moose buttons.
Such mosquitoes can be detected by
the way they slant their bodies, tail
up, when drilling. When you are
being %prospeeted on by a mosquito
who does not hold his body level,
remove him at once. even If you have
to use force. and quarantine him for
thirty days.
Mosquitoes breed in stagment wa
tiers and Fan be exterminated by
pouring kerosene on all ponds and
pools. A barrel of oil will save nine
billions slaps inAugust. In parts
of the country mosquitoes are so
large and rayenous that they carry
straws and imbibe their victims thru
wire screen as a summer girl laps
up a soda. Mosquitoes can be kept
out of the house by placing the lat
ter on barges in the middle of the
ocean. The roar of lions in Africa
is no more terrifying than the loud
.menacing hum of one mosquito who
has squeezed through a hole in the
screen and Is cruising about the
bedroom at midnight and looking
yon over with a critical and hungry
eye.
Mosquitoes have strong heads and
can dine for hours on a Kentucky
colonel without being intoxicated.
But they are no match for gold mine
promoters or ward politicians. Many
a mosquito has retired from the
cheek of one of these species of citi-
zen with a bent and twisted drill
and has gotten a cold and cruel
laugh from a world which has no
sympathy for him"

Courteous Hesitation

At a meeting of business men a
discussion was started regarding a

invariably getting his pound of flesh.

Good Reading for Sunday.
s'SALNE'

There are lots of folks who spread it,
And they spread 1t every day.
1t makes up their conversation,
They can talk no other way.
Feller's always glad to see EN-,
You can see 'em for a block.
And their little bunch of salve is
Always better than a knock.
Course, faint always that they mean
it,
But it sounds good just the same,
And it makes you sort of like 'em,
When they come and boost your
game.
Even though o know they're lying,
And their talk cannot be true,
You somehow can't help but feel they
Take an interest in you.
They have got the hammer throwers
Beaten by a good long mile,
With their pleasant conversation
And appreciatin' smile.
NOW, 1t doesn't cost a penny,
To pass out a word that's kind;
And ii always seems to somehow
Soothe the other fellows mind.
Amt nobody that is perfect.
Or that amt made no mistake,
And there Is surely consolation
In a hearty old hand-shake.
1t has a caused a lot of comfort,
II has eased a lot of woe,
And the optimistic Teller
Is the man you want to know.
In this world of disappointments,
It's a blessing that We have
Quite a lot of genial fellers
Who know how to spread the
"salve."
