But gone are all the voices, and the
welcome at the door. ~@
No footprints marks the paths within
its garden desolate,
To-Day tbs memory takes my hand and
leads me thru the gate,
Till in my fancy blooms again the
garden row on row,
The larkspur and the marigold-
sweet flowers of long ago
The roses grow beside the wall as in
forgotten June,
The iris and the lavender distill their
rich perfumes,
The while / picture other days, and
shadowy forms appear,
Dream faces smile mid candle light,
and sweet old songs / hear.
The bride upon her wedding day comes
softly down the stair. y,
An old man dreams Of youth within
his fireside chair.
The picture changes and a boy with
manhood in his eyes
Goes forth to seek his fortune-oh
the years that make us wise!
Dear house, long since is stiffness left

To welcome home the boy again,
grown now to mans estate

Thankful for all the past holds dear

There is no more unfortunate thing
than loveless marriage. The sacred re-
lationship is only hallowed by affec-
ton, and without love it is worse than
mockery-truly the irony of fate. But
let the unloving and the unloved be
very sure that worse fate does not
await them before taking radical steps
to change their condition. There are
few wives who will not respond to at
tentions prompted by a self sacrific-
ing spirit, and it is an easy matter to
repay devotion in kind. Few husbands
but are susceptible to sweet and gentle
influences, when the guiding spirit is
the one whom they promised to love
honor and protect" the mother of
their children.
Don't mistake notoriety for fame.
Don't let others spend the money you
earn.
Don't do work unworthy of you if
you can avoid it.
Don't say 81 am a gentleman" it is
never necessary.
Be loyal to death to those who have
befriended you.
When you assist the needy, don't do
ii ostentatiously.
Silence is the best weapon to use
against a vulgar and spiteful tongue
In ninety-nine cases in hundred the
man you wish dead outlives you.
Don't introduce lady's name where
you wouldn't introduce the lady.
Don't count much on friendships
formed in cafes. They never turn out
well
Remember impertinence isn't wit,
any more than insolence is brilliancy.
II young men will not believe in
themselves, no man or woman can be-
lieve in them.
Don't indulge in the luxry OF strong
opinions in the presence of your eld-
ers and betters.
II you haven't the moral courage to
laugh at sneerers, then you are an
other OF natures mistakes.
Don't talk about what you are go

WIVES, MOTHERS AND
SISTERS OBJECTORS
Upper Dauphin County Women
Sign Remonstrances to Lenker-
vile Bottler's Request

Upper Dauphin county voters and
taxpayers to the number of several
hundred are signers of remonstrances
filed to-day with Prothonotary II. f.
Holler against the relicensing of John
Mackert, Lenkerville as bother. and
j. II. Pontius, b. f. Welker, Andrew
Hoffman, John J. Murphy and Ed
mond UmholtZ, hotelkeepers in WI
conisco township. Many of the objec-
tors are women.
The objection against the regranting
of Mackert's privilege is specific. and
is to the effect that he has permitted
youths to become intoxicated on his
premises and that he has sold liquor
to minors.
The remonstrances against the Wi
conisco township tavernkeepers are
general and the petitioners declare that
they do not wish to be heard on the
question, but merely take this means
of calling to the courts attention the
lack of necessity in their opinion, for
the relicensing of these hotels.
Middletown Remonstrance to Be Heard
Besides the remonstrances from
the upper end. the court will also con-
slider the objection raised by the peo-
pie of Middletown against the re-
licensing of the Ann street hotel, Mid

MANNING SUGGESTS

AMPHITHEATER A FEATURE

Drawings Upon Return
AMPHITHEATER A FEATURE,

Pencil sketches of a plan for the
treatment and development of the
Capitol Park extension zone, provid-
ing for a big amphitheater. sunken
roadways, overhead bridges, terraces
and lawns have been submitted to the
City Planning Commission by Warren
Fl. Manning, landscape architectural
expert.
The scheme as Mr.. Manning out
lined it, was tentatively suggested sew
eral months ago but it had never been
even roughly worked out on paper by
the expert until his visit here the lat
ter part of last week.
Mr. Manning who left last evening
for New York will return within ten
days or two weeks when he expects to
bring back the finished drawings. The
State, of course, will have to adopt
the scheme, but it will likely be for
the City Planning Commission to ulti-
mately pass upon any changes in the
topography of the land or any altera-
tions in the laying out of the section
that will be vacated by the city be-
tween Fourth street and the Pennsyl-
vania railroad.
Mr.. Manning's Amphitheater Plan
The architectural experts idea is to
maintain the sloping vista effect from
the railroad to the east entrance of
the State house and to preserve this
effect by depressing the traffic high
ways below the grade of the lawns
The pleasure roads and walks could
be built on the surface and the de-
pressed sections of the service road
ways could be crossed where necessary
by bridges.
The predominating feature of the
plan, according to Mr. Manning's idea,
should be the Gmphitheater. This
could lie just east of Fourth street
and should be open to the east. Am
pie provision for bandstands. platform
for speaking, choirs and the accom-
mediation of big crowds would be-
available. Here the inaugural cereE
monies or such other big occasions
which would bring together thousands
of people, could be held and there
would be plenty of room for their ac-
connmodation.
