Once my home was bright and happy.
Oh how sad and dreary today.

That's within my heart concealed.

Thy willing hands will toll no more;
A faithful husband. both true and kind,
A truer husband you could not find.

Dear father. could you speak to Us.
And could you live again,
Our aching hearts would then be healed,
But this we wish in vain
Oh the misery of that dreary morn
When we stood around his bed,
Till death stole upon him softly.
And we knew his soul had fled.
BY HIS CHILDREN AT HOME, WILLIAM, MAMIE
AND CARRYE.
Father, little did we know
When we left you one week before
That God would call you so soon,
And we would never see you alive on earth

Without time to say good-by;
But we know your thoughts were of us
When You were asked to die,
Gone but not forgotten.

London, August 31.--tSpeeial.l- 1.-The Dowager countess of Shrewsbury. mother of the present Earl died at her London residence She was the daughter of Commander Cocserel, R N. she married the nineteenth Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot in 1855.
 By her death the London poor lose a staunch and sympathetic friend. In 1908 the Lambert Guardians rendered her their official thanks on the com pletion of thrty-years work among the poor of South London, whom she con sfantly visited in their homes and at the workhouse.
 ''It was very different thing for women like myself 10 do anything in the way of public work thirty years ago" she said recently. Tn my young days. of course, any woman who came forward to help her fellow creatures was looked upon as self-assertlve and unwOmanlY.
 Then came the great change. Part. 1y, perhaps Dickens was the inspiring spirit. partly Charles Kingsley; but the great event that proved forever the necessity of womans work in helping the suffering was the sending of Flor ence Nightingale to the Crimea- I remember well the outcry at the time. There were people who thought it al most disgraceful. But my father be- lieved in it all through You see was brought up from the first in an atmosphere of broad-minded sympathy.

Hay Fever
From the Chicago Post.

s
 Hay fever now romps merrily upon the scene and commands the services of the orchestra.
 Hay fever is an ina ginary complaint to those who do not have 1t. IL is more than complaint, however--it's a habit Once it fastens it's hold upon its victim, it does not let go until old age steps in and makes red nose and watery eyes of no further importance.
 At this time of the year many rail- way and steamship companies subsist entirely upon the receipts from hay fever people who are travelling in search of relief
 A confirmed hay feverite enjoys his affliction greatly, because It Is one of the few diseases the symptoms of which may be rehearsed over and over to listeners who know the story back ward

The labor party leaders are anything but pleased with Lloyd-George's insur- ance law, but they admit that it Is having at least one pleasing effect from their point of view for even now it is quite evident that it is helping to increase the membership of the labor unions and many Of those have already had to engage a special staff of clerks to deal with the applications for membership
 Hitherto union membership has fuctu- ated greatly owing to the large percentage of lapses. but it is expected that the in- surance act will do away with these.

NAMES MENTIONED FOR BRYCE'S PLACE Persistent Impression That He Is Soon to Retire A WAR ON OMNIBUS Big Motor Cars Have Caused So Many Deaths in London That
 the Public Is Up
 in Arms
A WAR ON OMNIBUS

London August 31.-(Special.) 1.-The im- nression that Ambassador Bryce will not retain his post at Washington many months longer persists in parliamentary circles despite the repeated official denials of a change When Prime Minister As quith answered the last question on that subject he said merely that MT. Bryce would return to Washington and re- sume his duties In September, which was not an entirely convincing denial of an early change.
 The fact that Mr Bryce has held the office for five years and reached the age of "A together with the possibility that the liberal government may not continue long in power, and that others have let it be known that they would consider the Washington embassy a suit able reward while yet this government has the power of appointment, furnish reasons for the belief that change may soon take place.
 Lewis Harcourt, secretary of state for the colonies. and J. Alfred Spender, editor of the Westminster Gazette, are two names most favored by the liberals as candidates for MT Bryce's successor It is noteworthy that neither belongs to the diplomatic service and that both are comparatively young men.
 The Washington post Is regarded as one demanding qualities not apt to be found among professional diplomats whose careers have been spent in Euro pean capitals
 Mir. Spenders title to recognition is that he has been the most influential writer supporting the liberal party on the London press. While the Westmin ster, an afternoon paper, is not the most powerful liberal organ MT. Spender's utterances on political questions carry more weight than those of any other in dividual in the party press. He is recog nized as one of the foremost British Journalists Mr. Spender and Mrs. Spen- der were among the few selected by the King to take tea in the royal tent at the last royal garden party, and this mark of distinction was considered sig nificant by those who have predicted his appointment to office.
 Mir Harcourt is a practical politician and society man. His health has not been robust recently, and transfer to a position demanding less hard work than cabinet portfolio would be welcome to him. Mrs. Harcourt was an American daughter of the late Walter II. Burns of New York, and an American wife us- ually is considered a valuable asset for European diplomat In Washington.
