SLUNIBERTOWN.

After the children have played all day,
The eyeids droop. and they go away
To the nearby station of Slumbertown
Where the style for each is a loose white
gown.
Such a quaint old town, with not a
sound,
And the silver starlight all around.
And the trains go slow when the shad-
ows fall,
Till they stop at Slumbertown, one and
all.
Then the children crowd from the bus,
train.
To wait for the morning time again.
Somewhere in the queer old misty town
Is the "Dreamland Garden of great re-
nown.
With Joys and pictures of beauty rare
For all the children who enter there
There are toys more wonderful by far
Than those that Santa Claus carries are.
There are sweets and fruits from every
cline,
And flowers that blossom in winter time.
And splendid parties where fairies bright
Come and go in the moonbeam's light.
Look for the white roofs of slumber-
town
When the flowers fold and the stars shine
down,
When the train goes slow, and the cur
tains fall
over blue eyes, brown eyes, bright eyes
all,
And the children crowd from the busy
train
To wait for the morning time again.

THE BUSINESS WOMAN'S DRESS.

(From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
The self-respecting woman engaged in
business will wear clothing appropriate to
her occupation. She will not dress as
though for the boardwalk in midsummer,
or a Saturday evening hop at the hotel, or
an afternoon tea. 1t is not expected that
she shall go to the other extreme Of drah
austerity. There IS a happy medium IF
hespeaks the innate refinement Of the
wearer. The girl WHO dresses for the Of
flee as for a party may offer an attractive
picture out of place but she is a disturb
ing element. for her mind IS more likely
to be on the sartoTial impression she is
making than on rhc work she is doing
and her scented, overaocorated presence
may turn the eddy heads OF the more
susceptible among her associates.
Business is business. and the dressrak-
or's manikin does not belong in another
sort of workshop. The girl who is worth
her salary does not devote her working
thoughts 10 charmeuse and ratine. or
candle and chiffon, how they are wearing
their hair this year. and whether the
waist line is round the neck or at the
knees, or how far the split should reach
above the ankles She gives her mind to
her work and dresses for work, not for
frivolous idleness or immodest display.

THE BOOK WORM,

(Marguerlte Campion in the Metropoltan)
The scholar-reader Is a man who pro-
fesses books He is a negative sort of
person with weak eyes and a great air Of
stupid takng-in, He infests all the public
libraries with his little notebook: he even
invades the ranks of your friends and
casts gloom over your mutual Joy in
books. Sometimes he is Caricature. a
comic valentine sort of person, but more
often, unfortunately, he is a man or
woman with real possibilities for love and
life turned into a Nero grub Of books,
like Mr.. Harrisons Quecd in the cater
pillar stage. He reads either for informa-
ton or culture, never for joy; and he sits
down as stoldlY to his task a German

made to put wings 20 the soul, AS though
the thoughts upon your printed pages and
the hops that instill life into your brim-
ming stein were not the result of Natures

poet, sun and rain upon the Towering
hop fields, But scholar-reader never
scars. He does not hear the bee outside
the window while he reads Keats. He
merely amasses facts which he will die
in possession OF, while he might have
made a heaven upon earth with a copy
of Walt Whitman under an apple tree.

STATE LAWS FOR AUTOS.
(From the Utica Press)

Each state makes its own statutes with
reference to the regulation Of aVtomo-
bile traffic, some rules being more drastic
than others. Secretary May of New York
suggests that the States should join In
an effort to secure uniform motor vehicle
laws, so that they may all he alike and
the motorists, crossing a line, may be az
we'll Informed in one state as In another.
Then, too, some States require a license
when a visitor invades their territory.
and others do not. and here. too, there
is chance for reform. 1t certainly would
seem rs If when an owner buys a license
in one State. courtesy between States
should permit him to travel wherever he
wishes In the long run there would be
no injustice IN it, because about as many
go one way as another. Each State
should vie with every other in trying to
have good roads; that its highways may
be attractive. and that is ministerng to
local convenience and accommodation.
When motorists from Massachusetts
come to New York they spend their
money here, and vice versa: so there is a
general advantage to business in en-
couraging touring. The suggestion made
by New Works secretary of state ,s
worth considering and encouraging.

MUNICIPAL EXTRNVAGANCE.

0from the Cleveland Plain DcalorD
Possible legal ana practical objections
wholly aside would It not ne a fine idea
if the bonds of a city could be widely dis
tributed in small amounts among a large
number of its citizens?
y municipal bond tucked away with the
bank book in bureau drawer or in a
pigeonholc of the desk al home or placed
in a safety deposit box would he a ma
terial emblem of ones partnership in gov

incentive for a person to keep posted on
what that government was doing. It
would encourage the bond owner to pro-
test at city hall extravaganza at waste
fulnoss and ineffiCiency.
Perhaps the day will arrive when it
will be possible for a person to buy mu-
nicipal bonds in small denominations. as
easily as he can now deposit his savings
in a bank. Pity any man attempting to
debauch a city government whose debt is
held by its own people. His days would
be too few to be worth numbering

The account of the centenary of the old

here.
My grandfather, Thomas Palmer, came
TO Richmond with his parents In 1856
locating about a mile and half south
east of where the old church was built
tWcntN-scvCn years later
Grandfather lived the whole of his long
life there, improving the hillside, planting
fruit trees and helping to make the
wilderness blossom rs the rose till his
death which occurred In August of 1858,
Grandfather raised family Of thirteen
children IN that same old mountain home,
and verify their graves are scattered
far and wide, by mountain, stream ard

est in Wisconsin, a daughter in Iowa.
The others in Vermont. The funerals of
four & generations of his family have been
held IN that old round church, and they
tell mo that when II was sold for 1t town

six wears old when the old church was
built and she always told me that she

GETTING RID OF GOVERNORS.

(From the Hartford CourantD
adopted in 1915 Is yo look it through
carefully, YOU will find, unless we are
mistaken, that the only time in which
to impeach n governor of this state is
when the General Assembly is in scs
sion The New York constitution is
comparatively IA novel invention. 1t
was drawn up by a convention of which
Senator Root. not yet an OH man, was
presiding officer. If we are not mis-
taken, this New York constitution has
the same popularity. Time brought no
lessons on the subject.
The only impeaching power is in the
lower House. If it We're necessary to
call that body together to vote between
sessions on Impeachment of governor
the only power that can convene the
Legislature in special session is the gov
ernor would ask to be impeachei and
so proceedings would have to walt until

A governor of either of these states
might make himself obviously and con-
fessedly unfit for the high office and
deserving of impea chment. but there he
would sit in the executive chamber still
exercising the fun powers of his posi-

Perhaps it is to the credit of human
