Childhood Memories.

On the banks of the old Wisconsin.
Near the grove of evergreen pines.
Where the silyery rapids murmur,
Sweeping rocks and surging pines.
w here the noisy millwheel turns
necessarily day and night,
Where my memory wildly yearns
For my old home spot so bright.
But my home long since is gone,
Though charms still hold the spot,
Where my youth its fancy won,
And its DEAFNESS ne'er be forgot.
We may live to be old and gray,
And with wealth and fortune be met
But "A treasured spot like home,
BE it humble we can't forget.

ARMY BUGLES.
Fashioned From Sheets of Copper by
an Ingenious PROCESS.

an ingenious FFoSSSB.
From start TO finish the making of
an army bugle Is a process of much
ingenuity and interest. A bugle may
not at first sight present a striking re-
semblance to its cousin. the coach
horn. but one is practically eurled
up version of the other. for before the
bugle is bent into shape it consists Of "A
narrow tube tifty-one inches long.
In the first stage of manufacture the
bugle is cut out Of sheet copper and
rolled into two thin cylinders. technic-
ally known as the bell" and the
branch" The narrow tube. which Is
the bell" is gradually shaped out on
molds until the opening is the regular
fodr inches in diameter. II is then
spun" on a wonderful machine, and
an expert workman takes the rough
edges OFF the copper.
Both sections are afterward filled with
molten lead preparatory to the bending
stage, and it is this solid stufiing
which prevents the tube breaking in
the process and allows 1t to keep it's
shape. The expert workman, with the
aid of a formidable lever and hammer,
bends the bugle into the familiar
shape. the lead being subsequently
melted out at charcoal furnace after
which the instrument is sent off to the
polishers.
One of the most Intricate parts of the
bugle is the mouthpiece, which is made
of nickel silver and turned out on a
special lathe With the mouthpiece
fixed the instrument is ready for the
testing room. -Pearsons Weekly.

Moore and "Lalla Rookh."

Ii was in 1915 that Tom Moore set
himself to produce his oriental ro-
nance "Lalla RoolIh. The poem. says
the Pail Mail Gazette. was the subject
of one of the most curious agreements
ever made between poet and publisher,
Longman undertaking to pay Moore
5000 guineas for an eastern poem ana
to take 1t for better or worse at any
time that suited the authors conven-
fence and without any power to sug-
gest changes or alterations.

LEE AND LONGEVITY.


What really constitutes life? Is It
action, or is it merely existence?
Which is the more useful, the man
who gives his all in energy to serv-
ice, or he who conserves his forces
and thereby prolongs his days? He
lives most who accomplishes most;
activity in useful, productive or con-
struetive effort Is the real test OF
life. Length Of years may content
some, but restless, energetic souls
will press forward, regardless Of
time, striving for goal they may
never attain, but always striving, and
these only really live. Life insurance
presidents, being interested in the
proIongation of existence Of risks,
bend their efforts to the teaching OF
elements Of living the avoidance of ex-
posures, or unnecessary risk of any
kind, and In this way really serve the
world. because they increase the pro
ductive years Of man. AS a result OF
modern methods, man really lives

allin-all life. TO live il to be active,

GoImar Bros. Circus.

10 be up to date is the sole ambit-
ion of all persons connected with a
circus. A good illustration of this is
the case of Mr.. Emory Styles, Super
intendent of Golmar Bros. big mena-
gerie, and trainer of their herd of per-
forming elephants
A few years ago Mr.. Styles had his
huge actors dancing the "Merry
Widow waltz. That craze did not
last long. Then he taught them to
Turkey Trot. " The Turkey Trot has
become passe. The latest terpsichore-
an diversion and the newest dance is
the Tango" AS soon as it was in
troduced Mr.. Styles at once went to
see all the best Tango dancers in the
country; and after satisfying himself
that he knew the dance thoroughly. re-
turned to the winter quarters of the
show and began teaching the elephants
the Tango. When the first preform-
ance was given this spring lat the
large Auditorium Building at Milwau-
kee) Mr. Styles introduced the Tango
dancing elephants.
To see the monster creatures locked
in a fond embrace, their ungainlg
bodies swaying in perfect time to the
seductive, syncopated strains of the
band is positively CONFUSING.
