SPRING.
Now the sprinkled bIackthorn snow
Lies along the lovers lane,
where last year we used to go
Where we shall not go again.
In the hedge the buds are new,
BY our wood the violets peer
Just like last years violets, too,
But they have no scent this year.
Every bird has heart to sing
OF its nest, warmed by its breast;
we had heart to sing last spring,
But We never built our nest.
Presently red roses blown
VIII make all the garden gay. ..
NOT yet have the daisies grown
On your clay.

THE ROAD TO Already.


Where winds the road to Already?
Is it through a valley which hovers
in the protection of snow capped
mountains or a path on the mountain
side which mounts through pines to
the very dome of the sky? This myth
ical land of Already may be in the land
made fair by our imagination. and It's
road may lead between rosy castles
built of air. Yet there is road TO
Already. 1t may be the path from the
gate to the home where the humblest
dweller knows a baby will lisp papa
1t may be a walk of rough boards.
there may be no walk, but that shor-
distance may be the highway to his
greatest. happiness because 1t is his
home. Then there may be another
road to Already. That youncster early
in the morning trudging along the
country road into the very kingdom of
highway. On every side he sees man
sions. Along this road H. cannot re-
strain the whistle of a nature-intoxi-
Gated boy. The very youth in him
sings out in song that almost rivals
that of the meadow lark. He is happy
in the happiness that a May morning
brings to the heart of youth. We may
visit the famed highways of the old
and new world and climb the highest
mountains to find this road of roads
But the road to Already we build our
selves. 1t is the highway built by the
happy heart and is the high road OF
life.-Salina Journal.

THE SPARROW A USEFUL BIRD

valiant field work in these states He
is checking the rapid advance of the
alfalfa weevil, pest which has APP
peared there and is likely to spread
to other states. Sparrows have been
known to clear rose vines of aphid In
return for their nest rent under the
cornice. In town they are scavengers
and thrive in the streets where no
other bird will venture. Ornitholo-

of driving the wild birds out of town
are false. There are as many wild
birds in the towns now as there have
ever been, but as they often keep to
the treetops, while the sparrow is

against food costs in this city. This is
shown by a comparison of market figures

the necessities. not the luxuries. of life.
There are some few exceptions. but
prices OF mos; articles that find their
way onto the tables OF those who have
20 watch the butchers and grocer
book carefully are cheaper here than in
Gotham.
Meats are from one to five cents cheap
er. the greatest variance being on loin
chops which. costing from eight to twen-
ty-fve cents a pound in New York. are
quoted at seventeen 10 twenty cents
pound in Washington. Beef for stewing
purposes is about the same here as in
New York. but roasts and fry meats
are generally lower by one and two
cents a pound.
The most noteworthy difference in the
vegetable market is that quotations are
given on smaller quantities in New
York than here. There. measurements
are graded in quarts. while here, pur-
chases are generally in peCks and half
peCks with the result that the cost is
less. The only quotation on produce given
by Washington merchants that Is higher
than the New York figure is on sweet
potatoes which. selling there for ten and
twelve cents quart sell here for twelve
