O, Where Do Fairies Hide
Their Heads?

o. where do the fairies hide their heads.
When snow lies on the hills
When frost has spoiled their mossy beds
And crystallized their rills?
Beneath the moon they cannot trip
In circles o'er the plain,
And draughts of dew they cannot sip
Till green leaves come again.
Perhaps in small blue diving bells
They plunge beneath the waves,
Inhabiting the wreathed shells
That lie in coral caves.
Perhaps in red Vesuvius
Carousals they maintain,
And cheer their little spirits thus
Till green leaves come again.
When they return there will be mrth
And music in the air,
And fairy wings upon the earth
And mischief everywhere.
The maids, to keep the elves aloof,
VIII bar the doors In vain;
No keyhole will be fairy-proof
When green leaves come again.
Thomas Haynes Bayly, in the Wis
'consin Farmer.

Jane Brett, in a story that deals with

scribed as a daughter of the people,
In Miss O'Neil's care, the character

what are you doing for your
boy?"
That is the big question many a
father will ask himself after he has
seen the new Triangle feature, "The
Dividend"
The picture shows a son just pass
ing from boyhood to manhood-at the
age when every boy needs the COM
partnership of his father, not just a
word and a pat on the back now and
then, but good long talks, a warm in
terest in the plans and desires of the
boy.
Frank Steele is a good boy. He
has no inclination to go wrong. He
has made a good record at college
and comes home prepared to make
his fathers interests his own. But
his father, John Steele, president of
a gigantic corporation, is simply too
busy to pay any attention to Frank.
He dismisses the lad with a half-con-
temptuous admonition.
Frank doesn't like dissipation, and
after a whirl or two, he returns to
his father, and again appeals to him
to give him something to do-cvcn
though it be at the very bottom of
the ladder. Again he is refused, and
this time he plunges deep into The
life Of the nightworld.
When his fathers corporation has
paid its record dividcnt, the elder
Steele receives another dividcnd-thc
limp form Of his dying son. And not
even the magnificent mission he has
built in the Sums, Out Of the profits
Of his all-cngrossing business, will
comfort HIM.

Now we have Lillian Gish in can
Innocent Magdalene," the newest
Triangle release, taking daily lessons
in family pride.
A lesson in family pride scarcely
seems practicable at first blush.
Lilliana is supposed to be the daughter
Of a Southern Colonel, who, while liv-
ing in genteel poverty, despises the
new order of things and has reared
her in utter ignorance of the world
outside. But the father has inculcat-
ed in her the pride of her family.
One day it may be to show her the
gallery Of family portraits, again it
may be merely recounting the list of
names in the record of the old family
Bible. But always the lesson brings
the truth home to her that she must
honorably perpetuate the stainless
Raleigh line.

Two War SONGS,

Carlyle said that "Scots Wha Haze"
was the finest war song ever penned
by man. 1t was composed on horse.
back while Robert Burns was crossing
a wild moor in a thunderstorm. But ii
has never become a real war song like
the "Marseillaise," which has had pow
er to fire the French to a white heat
of patriotism for more than a century
and which still retains its hold upon
the nation.-London Answers.

RUsS!A'S GREAT RAILWAY.
II Runs From Moscow to VIadivostok,
a Distance Of 6,0OO Miles.

IL HEns from MOSCOW to V~ladlvostok,
a Distance Of 6,000 Miles.
1t was Alexander Ill. who first real
lied the possibility Of making a rail
way across the whole length of the
Car Nicholas H.. laid the first stone at
Vladivostuk. This was done in order
to guard the newly acquired territories
Of the valleys Of the Amur and Ussuri
from the inrOads Of other nations; the
railways would thus facilitate the
transport Of troops if necessary. 1t
overs a distance Of G.O0O miles from
Moscow to V~ladivostok. The Russian
government voted E4O,OOO,OOO for its
construction, and it was completed IN
eleven years.
1t takes three days to reach Zlatoust.
in the Ural mountains. There is to be
seen the famous "stone Of parting"
Could it speak, what a number Of
heartrending tales 1t could tell. When
criminals and political prisoners were
sent to Siberia that great lone land"
Of the east, their friends usually babe
them goodby in the presence Of the
cold stone.
From Zlatoust the main line proceeds
to Omsk. whence it reaches the shores
Of Lake Baikal. one Of the largest
fresh water lakes in the world. Some
times the Russians term 1t 1.-The holy
sea-" because an island in the lake
was believed to be the abode of an
evil spirit, who continually had to be
appeased with sacrifices. Seals and
beautiful sponges abound in the lake.
Previous to 1905 the whole train was
transferred by means Of a wonderful
movable platform, where it rested on
rails, on to the steamer on Lake Bal
kal. This steamer was built at New.
castle, and was fitted with powerful
screws, which could be driven through
ice four feet thick. Now the railway
Is continued round the south of Lake
Baikal.-Pearson's Weekly.

BRUTE SEWED
EYES OF HOG

Sewing a hogs eyes shut to keep
them from catching chickens was
the charge preferred against Joseph
K. Leigh, Pleasant Valley farmer,
last week, before Justice of the Peace
G. G. B. John of Lambertville, and
his excuse was that father used to
do it,"
1t seems that, according to Leigh's
own confession, he had been stitch
ing the eyelids of the swine so that
they could not see the chickens, and
that this practice has been going on
for long time. Some city visitors
in the neighborhood discovered the
practice and notified S. P. C. A.
officer Wallace P. Thornton, of this
city, who investigated and arrested
Leigh.
The hogs eyelids were said to be
in swollen and highly infamed
condition, as a result of the treat
ment, d their sufferings must
have been great. Although the full
penalty is said to be $3.50 fine and
six months Imprisonment, Squire
John inflicted fine $40 and costs
with a warning that any repetition
of the offense would result in the
infliction of the full penalty.
Leigh's only excuse was that his
father had always done this, when
he was living, and that he didn't
see anything wrong about it.
Leigh since denies that his father
used to do it, but defends his inhu-
man and fiendish action by stating
that it is not cruel. The public, gen.
orally, regrets that he did not get
the full sentence of the law, which
he so richly deserved.
