o what has become of the oId-fashioned boy
Who didn't talk back to his pa?
And what has become of the girl-such joy
Who didn't know lots than ma?
They have wandered away they have gone hand IN hano
With those others who mounted the skids
Those oldfashoned parents who used to demand
A little respect from their kids
And where can that old-fashoned fellow be found
Who gave up his seat in the car?
Who, pausng to chat with woman, felt bound
To at once away his cigar?
He has gone hand in hand, with the odfashioned maid
Who used say Thanks" for the seat
Who thought cigarettes, for men, shade
Indecent merely eHete.
o what has become of the who would treat
All women if they had wings?
Who'd not take girl to hear actors repeat
The very improperest things?
He has gone hand in hand with the maiden who sang
Such songs we'll with lute
Who'd think songs suggestive and teeming with slang
Just vulgar, not catchy and cute.
This jolly world moves in lot of grooves,
And brightly dawn many days;
Its good world, you bet growing better-and yet
There was sense in old-fashioned ways.
Now, if you had command of the whole blessed land
Where would you start TO put on the lids?
Can you think of better beginner, ofhand,
Than inspiring respect in the kids?

profit, regardless of the intrinsic
value of the fabric. The fallaclous
idea that fabrics from abroad are of
necessity superior to those manufac-
tured by our domestic mills is almost
entirely due to the fact that the con-
sumner has been misinformed as to the
source of the major part of the fine
goods produced by our own mills.
Instances might be multiplied almost
without number of domestic fabrics
which have sold as Imported" at
greatly enhanced prices, though the
salesman was we'll aware of the fact
that the cloths were of domestic man
ufacture.

Hard on the Preacher.

A mother sent her little daughter
down to open the door and entertain
the minister, Mr.. Black, while she
finished dressing. When she appeared
the little kitten ran in ahead of her,
and the tiny maiden jumped up and
down ad screamed to the top of her
voice: 20, kitty, kitty, go out, quick"
The mother was Mortified, and said:
Daughter what makes you act %"

Varina Davis, the famous wife of
Jefferson Davis. the president of the
Confederacy. was born on May Z,
She was married in 1874, just at the
beginning of Davis's most active
years. His first wife had died some
what previous to that time and his
mothers death had left him desolate.
But in the personality of Varina he
found all the comfort and charming
companionship that he could ever
have hoped for.
Through all the trying years of the
Civil War Mrs. Davis was ever with
her husband, If not personally. at
least in constant thought and inspi-
ration. The story of Davis's capture
and attempted escape after the loss
of the cause for which he had strug-
gled is one that is much disputed. 1t
does seem. clear, however, that when
he was in danger of being captured
Mrs. Davis persuaded him to put on

shawl. Davis made an effort to ess
cape, but was detected and captured.
That he should have felt chagrin and
modification at being caught, espe-
cially in the ridiculous disguise, was
perfectly natural. But though twelve
revolyers were pointed at him by bis
captors, still he whipped out his bowie
knife In an effort to resist them.
There is a story to the effect that
after Mrs Davis had Joined him he
made a last effort to escape. De-
fenceless as he was, he tried by
sheer force to attack a horsemanS
hoping to throw him from his seat,
and before he could be laid hold Of
to mount the horse and ride for
safety. 1t is said that this desperate
ruse would have been successful had
not Mrs. Davis prevented 1t. There
is also general opinion that Davis
would have escaped capture had he
not delayed in order to make sure of
his wife's safety.

From the American Wool and Cotton
Reporter
We await with no little interest
further developments in a case which
we are inclined to think will prove
equally interesting to many OF our
readers. A prominent jobber placed
a number of styles from a foreign
manufacturer in his line and has re-
ceived satisfactory volume of bust
ness on these styles, selling them as
imported cloths. Meantime, a test of
the fabric has disclosed the fact that
the goods are not all-wool, as was
supposed, but that they contain a per-
centage OF cotton. The samples were
Immediately turned over 10 q domes-
tic manufacturer to be duplicated in
an all-wool cloth and We are told
the duplicates are in every particular
equal to or even superior to the for
eign originals. win the product of
the domestic manufacturer be deliv-
cred as imported cloths?
IL is not at all probable that this Is
an isolated case, but it Is usually UNI
, derstood that the retailer is the CHIEF
offender in this respect, as with a
certain class of trade the magic word
imported" is all that is required to
permit Of securing an exorbitant

are asked to cooperate by cutting
down this loss. Accidents can be
reduced In q degree by carefulness.
IF many corporations have been I'M
just in their dealings with their men,
surely some men have not dealt fairly
with their employers. 1t is an old
proverb, but true one, that the en-
ploye who does not care for his en-
ployer's interests as Well as his own
is not likely soon TO be rewarded
An Eastern railroad recently laid off
a large number of men. The shop
forces were cut perhaps one-third.
Yet the output continued as heavy
and of the same quality. This dem
onstrates the hidden quality of
efficiency which, in times of emer-
gency, is brought into use. If each
employe would act on the idea OF
corporation suggested by the Boston
Elevated, perhaps we would have
fewer disputes between labor and
capital.

along the Jersey headlands toward the
