Their clamorous wants she must sup

New tenderness is in her tones
''Oh, blest and happy mother r."
"But yesterday this humdrum life.
It's homely burdens wearied me.
Impatient and discomfort,
My cares were all that could see!
From dawn to dark new tasks arose.
How blessed each one seems todayl
The plain farm duties, How sjoy!
Here. safe, protected dull tosstay!
"The plenteous fields are stretching
wide.
The quiet village lies below,
No rumor comes of pillage want
There's no alarm of threatening foei
Gay hollyhocks nod by the wall.
The houghs with ripening fruit hang
low,
From yonder oat fields sounds the
voice
OF one whose fealty we'll | know!
God pity women oversee,
Who husbands, sons. must give to
die,
God make me thankful, They deserved
Love safety. peace as much rs Il"

What winter can be like In Russia

and by Charles XII. of Sweden cen
fury earlier. Charles made success
full drive into Russia in 1908, but win

was so intense that wood could not be
made to ignite in the open air. Wine
and spirits froze, birds fell dead on the
wing, saliva CONCEALED on the mems

terrible winter with the Swedish army,

The Dainty Muskrat.

The muskrat is one of the cleanest
animals known. Not only is 1t careful
Of what it eats, but before eating a
root or anything else the little animal
patiently scrubs 1t free from dirt. Not
until every particle is removed will it
eat it. The name has had more in
Auence in keeping people from eating
the flesh than anything else. It is con-
sidered great fun to initiate a novice
in eating muskrat. He is told that it
is squirrel or any one of dozen other
animals to induce him to eat it. In
ninety-nine cases in a hundred the
novice Is converted at once after the
first mouthful and forever afterward
never tires of singing the praise Of the
meat.-Exchange.

Tom Buford's
Awakening
BY ALFRED ToWNE
By ALFRED ToWNE

There is nothing that will start a
man SO quickly and so thoroughly to
make push forward in the world as
finding himself engaged to be married
with little or nothing to marry on.
Tom Buford was a reporter on west
ern paper, but he barely managed to
hold his position. He said he didn't
like reporting; it wasn't pleasant oc-
cupation; it required man Of cheek,
and he was Of a retiring disposition
Some day he meant to get out of it.
Then he did what everybody consid-
cred a foolish thing. For a brief Pc
Rod he considered it a foolish thing
himself. He courted a nice girl, pro-
posed to her and was accepted.
The morning Tom Buford awakened
after the bliss Of receiving the answer
he had considered essential almost to
his life he lay wondering what had
possessed him. Had he been in his
senses or had he escaped from luna
tic asylum? Unable to maintain him
self respectfully, he had invited a girl
to share his inability. More, he would
probably bring children into the world
with the prospect Of starvation before
them. Either this or they would grow
up to get a living as best they could
and would likely turn out jailbirds.
But it was too late now to go back.
He had spoken. The contract was
signed, sealed and delivered.
"See here, old man." he said to him
self, you've got to get a move on
you"
He arose, dressed himself and went
to the Office. The city editor said to
him:
"Buford, last night steamboat on
the Mississippi was blown up and
sunk. Somebody's got to go and get
the facts. Yon're the only man avail
able, and you're too slow. You'd let
every paper in town get the story and
we have nothing"
"Just you try me-"
The editor looked up in surprise.
very well; you can get the afternoon
through train. But, mind, you must
send me something for tomorrow morn
Ing's issue-not later than a. M"
Buford hurried to the station with
out calling for baggage and caught the
express. But no sooner had the train
started than he learned that it didn't
stop within many miles Of the point
he wished to get off. He told the con-
ductor that he must stop for him, but
the conductor declined. However, lat
er on he told Buford that division
superintendent was on the train, and
If Tom could get an order from him to
stop 1t would be all right. Tom did
so and late at night was put off at the
station at which he wished to stop.
Luckily the telegraph Office was open,
and, rushing into it, he asked the op-
orator If he would remain there till he
came back from the scene of the dis
aster, which was several miles away.
The operator promised, and the re-
porter started to walk the distance.
Reaching a point where a number of
the survivors were to be found, he
reused several of them out of bed, got
the story and walked back to the
