On the back of the Pisgah Lodge

Below too is an original poem from
the pen of John A. Dubois, the

To me last night there came dream.

And the scenes that met my gaze
Were such as we in our duties there
Experienced every day.

In just that same old way.
Once more l heard the Gavel fall,
The Chaplain read and pray,
With the 'ands and butts in the minus

Where he always let them stay.

With readings Third galore,
And argument was at its height
Almost to shedding gore.

Was passed. OF made to lie,

And the Colonel voted-Aye.
Again l saw our Speaker pause
You've seen him all of you
just swallow something once or. twice
Then recognize Peru.

Came voice from near the door
And the Speaker answers quickly;
"Mr. O'Brien has the floor"

Sleep.

For do but consider what an excel
lent thing sleep is! 1t is so inestima.
BILE jewel that, if tyrant would give
his crown for an hours slumber, 1t
cannot be bought; of so beautiful a
shape is 1t that. though a man live
with an empress, his heart cannot be
at quiet till he leaves her embrace
ments to be at rest with the other;
yea, so greatly are we indebted to
this kinsman of death, that we owe
the better tributary half of our life
to him; and there Is good cause why
we should do so; for sleep is that
golden chain that ties health and our
bodies together. Who complains OF
want. of wounds, of cares, of great
mems expressions, Of captivity, whilst

What Are Children7

What are children? Flow
ers! They are flowers of the invisi-
BILE world; indestructible, self-perpet-
uating flowers, each with multitude
of angels and evil spirits underneath
its leaves, toiling and wrestling for
dominion over it. Blossoms! They
are the blossoms of another world,
whose fruitage is angels and arch
angels. Or dewdrops! They are dew
drops that have their source, not in
the chambers of the earth, nor among
the vapors of the sky, which the next
breath of wind or the next flash of
sunshine may dry up forever. but
among the everlasting fountains and
inexhaustible reservoirs of mercy
and love.-John Neal.

The most remarkable photograph OF
a meteor trail that has yet been taken,
was reproduced in L'Astronomie. The

that it left behind remained visible
until some time after sunset, becoming
more and more conspicuous as the day.

Hints on Longevity.

The other day an eighty-one-year-
old man said that since he stopped
taking baths, which was some years
back, his health had been better. An
other Santa Claus of the same age
attributed his wonderful physical con-
dition to Turkish baths. 81 eat every.
thing from mince pie to fried salt

whskey when felt like it. I've
smoked and chewed tobacco And
want to tell you that there's nothing
better for the nerves and general
health than chewing tobacco. I'm as

up the soul and freeze the blood of a
modern expert on right living?"

Wasted Steam.

Ever since the introduction Of cleo
tricity we have had and made free
use of electrical meters, but 1t has
only been within the last few years
that reliable steam meters have been
in the market, and these meters, with
the accompanying coal and water
weighers, have done more to demon
strate the wasteful use of steam and
arouse the interest of the plant owner
than anything else known. In one
large plant the newly installed steam
meters ufearthed leaks and other
waste amounting to over 100000 a
year, and this is by no means an ex-

Morgsn's Highway PIums.

Last week the Little Red Auto"
took US over some of the Morgan
hig hways. 1t will be trip long to
be remembered. While we did not
exceed the speed limit, we did reach
the limit in some things, and do
not long for a repetition. All this
relates to plums. Maybe the Guilt
waited plums of Morgan win premiums
at fair; but those that grow along
the h;ghway-God forbid that they
should ever be included with any
prduct a farmer attempts to raise.
Morgan highway plums look we'll
on the outside; some of them are
quite plump, red-faced shading
down into a lovely pink and with a
bewitchment about them liable to
lead anyone astray. Like poor Adam
we were tempted by these Evelike
Morgan highway plums, and fell.
Everything along the hig way
tempts us-if good to eat. Farmers
are beginning to find this out. One
in Morgan gave US a lot of nice
corn thinking no doubt we would
:steal it anyWay-and then everyone
we met told US we did steal it. This
is the reputation we bear in
Morgan. Another one threw lot
of nice sweet apples at us-to save
She tree. But we were speaking of
plums.
As we said, these Morgan high
way plums appealed to US, and we
concluded to rake in a few quarts,
provided they harmonized with our
taste. This is where we made a
mistake. We tasted. Not little
mincing tea-party taste but a real
hoggish one whereby we take the
article all in and crunch right down
sonto it.
Say. if there was any law where
10y we could sue the town of Nor
gan fer damages for tempting a
man with their highway plums we
would do it. True, it might be said
we had no business monke yine
around those plums, but what are
they allowed along the highway fol
auyway-an ornament? And such
plumsl Honest, those plpms were
so puckery that, if six of them
could be used properly, they would
warp forty foot barn right off its
foundation. And bitter Lord! give
us a dose of aloes mixed with quas
sic chips and last edition of the
Vermont tax law in preference every
time. We used to wear quite {
beatific countenance to let US tel
it-calm and serene like those
wonderful pictures of the saints
This was before we tasted Morgan
highway plum. Since we tasted WI
seem to lack face. Or rather, i
is all face. In fact it is so warped
out of shape we don't know what i
is. We dare not look in miro
for fear it is Gorgon-shaped, s.
frightfully did the taste of tina
plum work it's spell upon us. And
still distorts at the sight of a plum
and with imaginary distortions a
the writing of plums. 1t is simpl
awful. AS we have said, Morga

New York, September.
From behind the scenes where
they have been in hiding from all
but the favored few, new suits and
other timely attire is shown to catch
the eye of the woman sure enough
of her own style and wants to know
the right model when she sees it on
lay figure. 1t is such early and
discriminating buyers who really
set the styles and determine the
popularity Cf certain types of de-
sign. 1t is not the display in TIE
shop, but the way the model is
worn outside that makes it a sue
cess or failure, for the average wo-
man buys what looks well on some
other woman, though the wearer is
often quite her opposite in style and
cNloring.
NEW SUITS.
Notwithstanding ill the prophecies
of severely tailored styles in suits
the majority of the carly showings
get away from this type in many
ways. All signs among these point
to "a great vogue for the velvet
faced woolens that combine so adj
nrirabIy with the fur trimmings
that are used on every sort of street
garment. Slch materials are rear
