TO NAME PARK FOR JACOB RMS.

Commissioner John A K1ngsbury OF
the New York City department Of pub
lie charities has started movement
to change the name OF Telawana
park at Rockaway beach to Jacob A..
Riis park, says the Survey.
1t seemed to him more appropriate
that this stretch of shore should per-
petuate the name of Mr.. Riis, who
had given unsparing devotion to its
establishment, than that of Chief
Telawana, "the last OF the Rock
Always" Moreover, in all the parks in
New York there is no monument or
credit given to the man who, perhaps
more than any other citizen. strove
to plant bits of country in the crowd
ed city districts.
The movement to rename Telawana
park has already brought response.
The association for improving the con.
dition of the poor and other organiza-
tons have adopted resolutions favor
ing the project. The city authorities
will be asked to take action.
Don't let any slip occur in bring.
| ing Rockaway park to the poor kid
| dies in the tenements, and particu-
larry to the tiny cripples," said Jacob
Riis to Commissioner Kingsbury Just
before he left New York on his last
| lecture trip.
/ For eight years Mr.. Riis urged that
| his little playmates, the children OF
the sums" were the lawful owners
of the sand and sea and sunshine at
Rockaway. Finally in 1912 the city
of New York purchased the strip OF
| ,and about a mile long running from
jamaica bay to the ocean. Part Of
this has been reserved for public IN
stitu.icns and public bathing beach
The rest will be seaside park witt
tennis courts, ball grounds and play
! fields.

The essence OF advertising Is news.
Good advertising. is good news. The
adcertiser has nothing to do with the
editorial policy of a newspaper. The
advertisers should see to It that the
vehicle he uses is decent and moral.
That is all that need concern him.
What the advertiser wants is . vehicle
that takes his story to the people. Or
course, If newspaper have charac-
ter. in addition to circulation, that
helps the advertiser, too. Just as
character helps store. Circulation
alone is not enough. Character
should go with circulation; and when
a merchant can get both he has the
ideal vehicle. These are the views OF
Editor Wheeler Of the Quincy Journal.

RED CROSS SEALS.

More than 100000 Red Cross
Christmas seals were sold last De-
cember, according to a report Issued
by the National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of TuDerculo-
sis, and the American Red Cross re-
port for anti-tuberculosis work in
various parts of the United States.
The sale in 1913 is gain of 4,oo0,-
600 over 1912, or 10 per cent. 1t is
hoped that this year the 100000
mark will be reached. The seal de-
sign for 1914 has been selected and
orders for the printing of 100.000,000
seals have been placed. Plans for
the organization of a larger sale this
year than ever before have been per-
fected.
New York state led in the country
last year with sale of over 10,5OO,-
900 seals, or one for each man. wom-
an and child in the state. OF this
number, more than 6,825,00O were sold
outside of New York city. Ohio came
next with a sale of 100000, Wiscon-
sin third with 100000, and Illinois
fourth with 100000. Hawaii sold
the most seals per capita, the total
sale being somewhat over two for
each inhabitant. Rhode Island came
second with sale of two per person.
Beginning with sale Of 100000 in
1908, in six seasons the revenue which
these little holiday seals have brought
to the anti-tuberculosis campaign has
more than tripled, an aggregate for
the period OF over $1.S00,000 or $780,
10000 seals.

OLD HOMES.

i OLD HOMES.
Old homes among the hills! love
their gardens.
Their old rock-fences, that our day
inherits;
Their doors, round which the great
trees stand like wardens;
Their paths, down which the shad-
ows march like spirits;
Broad doors and paths that reach
bird-haunted gardens.
see them, gray among their ancient
acres,
Severe Of front. their gables hchen-
sprinkled.
Like gentle-hearted, solitary Quakers,
Grave and religious, with kind faces
wrinkled
Serene among their memory hallowed
acres.
Their gardens, banked with roses and
with lilies
Those sweet aristocrats OF all the
flowers
where springtime coins her mari
colds in showers,
And all the hours are toilless as
the lilies.
I love their orchards where the gay
woodpecker
Fits flashing DER you like a winged
jewel;
Their woods whose floors OF moss the
squirrels checker
With half-hulled nuts; and where
in cool renewal,
The wild brooks laugh, and raps the
red woodpecker.
Old homes! Old hearts! Upon my
soul forever
Their peace and gladness lie like
tears and laughter;
Like love they touch me, through the
years that sever,
With simple faith; like friendship
draw me after
The dreamy patience that is theirs
forever.

Kansas is bubbling over. The en-
tire state is wild with happiness and
the Joy is pouring over the sides into
the surrounding states. The Kansas
wheat harvest is on in full blast and
Kansas never had such wheat crop.
The lowest estimate made Is 100000
900 bushels and from that up to 20o,-
COZ, coo. In addition to the wheat, the
biggest crop ever grown the first al
falfa crop has been saved and it is
the best in years. The small fruits
are plentiful and the corn prospect
has never been better.

Today | am lonesome and full Of dis

For my dear sister that passed away.
She has made her fight, but not to
stay,
Only for her dear Saviour the debt
she repaid.
She lies beneath his snowy sod,
A nobler woman that ne'er did trod,
When she was in this rugged old
world,
But now she is gone to the far be-
yond,
Where trouble shall cease, perfect
peace,
And sing those beautiful praises Of
God.
No one was as dear to me as she,
To cherish, to love and to fondle me.
She has left me alone Cor her bur-
dens to bear,
But they shall be taken for my
earthly share,
And some day after tolls and cares
and my life is DER,
I shall meet her on that, beautiful
