The Travelling Man.,

A gay and handsome travelling man
Lay on bed of pain; SO
All hope had passed, his life ebbed
fast,
He neer would rise again
Have you no sweetheart, fair and
true?"
They whispered Ger his bed.
Whom you would tell a last fare
WE'LL"
The young man softly said:
There's Daisy back in Burling
And Nellie up in Blair;
There's Mile down in Lincoln Town
And Mary in St. Clair,
And in Des Moines there's Esther
dear,
When l must surely see,
And Anna, too, at Waterloo,
Please bring them all to me-
The watchers stared in>wild surprise
And then they said, once more;
Come, tell us, pray, without delay,
The girl whom you adore.
The girl whom you have sworn to
love
And bring both wealth and fame;
Your promised wife, your HOPE and
life,
Quick, let us hear her name,"
There's Maggie UP in Boone" he
said,
And Mamie, at Monroe,
There's Violet at Winterset,
And Maude at old ST. Joe,
/ I'd Genevieye at Davenport,
And Mabel at st. Paul"
The young man sighed-"It's time
i died,
I'm engaged to wed them all"

Tie to the man who meets you
with smiling face whether all is
going we'll with him or not. The ac-
quaintance of the genial man is more
than worth cultivating. God knows
world and it is real pleasure to
meet man with a smile that never
wears off. Take chance with man
who is honest the other six days in
lie week as we'll as on Sunday. He
is worth tieing to and will not prove
to be a false alarm,

She collaborated with Robert Hichens, the author, in the nramatization of ''The Garden of Allah and visited her native land
 pr the first time in many years to Ettend the rehearsals of that highly Successful production.
 Mary Anderson was-and is, to the 1lder generation,-the best loved of American actresses, not even except Ing Miss Maude Adams. She is a Native daughter of the Golden West. Hnce she was born in Sacramento on puly 29, 1859. She was not long a fesident of the California capital, However, as she was but an infant in erms when her parents moved to Eouisville.

THE NEW LONDON COUNTY
 CAMPAIGN NEARING ITS END

<From the Conencticut Woman Stuff
 rage Association, Hartford, Conns)i
 Only three daya now remain for the Suffragfsts to complete the conquest of New London County. As the cam paign has neared it's end, enthusiasm and interest have increased, and the advocates of votes for women have thrown more and more zeal and en- ergy into their operations. This week meetings have been held at Gales Fer ", Groton, North Stonington, Ston- ington and Mystic. and tonight an open-air meeting is planned for Cres- cent Beach where 1t is expected that the Suffragists will capture a large number of the pleasure seekers who are seeking the cooling sea breeze6 Of that popular resort. Several new speakers-or rather several additional speakers, for neither of. them are new to the work of addressing meetings on behalf of suffrage-have been with the campaigners during the last few days. One of them is Mrs. Herbert Sumner Owen of Salt Lake City, who has given very remarkable accounts of the good done in Utah by. the women's vote It is there in Mrs. Owens opinion, the great antidote to the evil of polygamy and is also the means by which 0he Mormon women will be raised from their state of degradation.
 Another of these endorsements to the Sunrag1stS IS Mrs. John Rogers, Jr., of Ridgefield and New York. Mrs. Rogers is an active worker in the Wo- mems Political Union of New York, and Is we'll known as an excellent public speaker. She was in Califor- mia at the time of the campaign there, and to her no doubt, in some degree, was due the success of the suffrage amendment. Mrs. H. H. Knox of New Canaan, chairman of Fairfield County in the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association, is another helper who has been in the field during this week. It is a pity that Mrs. Knox cannot exhibit her four lovely children when she speaks for Votes for Wo- men. They would be the strongest proof that she ask for the vote for the protection and uplifting of the home. Mrs Edward Porritt, of Hartford, who has also been with the campaigners is well known all over the State. Her husband, who is author of scholarly work on the Old English House of Commons, has a fame as a historian far greater in England and Germany than in the United States. but fame vuficient even here to bring him inv1- tatfons to lecture at Harvard, at the University of California and at other institutions of learning. MT. Porritt has frequently appeared on the plat form with his wife on behalf of Wo- man Suffrage; and the immense store nf historical knowledge on which both MT. and Mrs. Porritt can dEay, glVes weight and force to their arguments md pleas for Votes Cor Women.

 Miss Anderson retired from the stage in 18Ss. Seeking rest, she bought Court Farm, lovely Cotswold
 building of rambling architecture, situated at the top of a winding street in Old Broadway, Worcestershire: There she resides with her sons ana her husband, whom she married at Hampstead, England, in June of lSsO.

Regret That These Essays are not Associated with a Precious Metal That Their Dedica- ton to Precious Name Might Prove More Worthy and Deserving"
 At fifty-tnree Mrs. de Navarro Is as beautiful as she was as girl over 9 quarter of 8 century ago. Happiness and an ideal married life are tonics that have preserved her loyeliness un- tarnished by the passing of years. 'The elixir of life, she calls her do- mestic bliss. The Worcestershire Eden affords magnificent setting for the home nest in which the one-time favorite of the stage is spending her more mature and happier years. To- ward that Eden the thoughts or mill lions will turn today in happy remem- brance and in earnest felicitation. Those who amuse,- entertain and in- struct the populace by dramatic rep resentations have a high mission, and Mrs. de Navarro, both as actress and woman, has lived up to the best traditions of the stage.

It seemed as if the wood was sleeping
 The little pond where the deer go to drink was not stirred by the tapping of a single tongue. There was not rabbit nose visible in the thyme of the rabbit preserve. The only sound was a myste- rious shuddering, as if every leaf, every spear of grass sheltered q threatened life. The game in the woods has 50 many places to hide, burrows. thickets, piles of wood, brush and then the ditches those little wooden ditches which hold the water such long time after it has rained. l own up that l should like to have been at the very bottom of one of these holes, but my companion wished to stay out in the open and to have plenty of room to see off and breathe the fresh air of heaven.

 Alexander Ramp, s years old, was ar raigned yesterday in the chlldren's cour; in Brooklyn on complaint of his father, who said the boy habitually stole food from the oven while his mother was pre- pairing meals.
 Don't you give the youngster enough to satisfy his appetite?" asked Judge Me lnery, in evident amazement at the charge.
 We do.' replied his father, but he --porling angrily at the child--"eats about six times as much as an ordi- nary workingman."
 You should be proud of the boy and his appetite," said the judge. There are many men who would give anything in their power for such an appetite.
