TODAY's POEM
~~~0O
THE MIRACLE.

One late March morning, deary, gray
 and cold, Depressed, I looked within my garden
 plot.
 cased in ice; High bush and low bowed heath their
 frosty load. The cold was king. His seepter show In even ermine lines out OCT the
 world. Thralled was the brook; the meadow Lay in a sleep beneath it's coverlet
 precise, Limned square by wall and fence and swerve1ess road,
 Life1ess was everything. x Then on a day of April newly born, The earth lay ruddy with the dawn, Full canopied with hawless, living
 blue.
 The snow was not quite vanished as a Save for white spots out on the pur-
 pie hill. l4 The dull brown of the meadow reach
 was gone, Faint green suggesting. and 10. close by a deeper hue. A brave leaved hollyhock sent out it's
 gleam; Gay crocus bands laughed at my
 porch's sill; Like cadmus spear the daring daffo-
 diI
 Urged it's round points the stiffened
 crust between; Red pencil tulips crowded to be seen. My heart 1eaped out at such fair sight Of earth, with promises bedight- And could it be that only yesterday I looked upon a world of cold and
 gray
 When dead was everything? Praise God looked again
 And it was spring!

EQUAL FRANCHISE FAVORED BY FIVE
 OF GREAT UNIONS
Some of Other Organizations Non Committal on Wo-
 man Suffrage Question.

Springfield, nL, April 27.-Secre- tary Finley F. Bell, of the Illinois Leg islative Reference Bureau, organized by and under control of the state, in a state1nent just made public, summariz- es replies to a letter sent by the Blu reau to national secretaries of labor unions all over the country, asking them for a statement as to their at- titude toward woman suffrage.
 The replies varied in sentiment. Some of the unions favored woman suffrage unqua1ihedIy, among them being the American Federation of La Dor, the Illinois State Federation of Labor, the United Mine Workers of Amerfca and also the Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen and the Plumbers and Steamftters Hod carriers went on record as not yet having taken off, cial action but as leaning to endorse Sment of suffrage and the Western Federation of Miners, though not de- cIaring absolutely for suffrage as their Eastern brethren did reported that there was a suffrage sentiment in their rahkS
 The Journeymem Barbers were non co1nmittal and said their organization had never taken the matter up and this also was the attitude of the Hotel and restaurant employees alliance and the Bartenders International League. The Postal Clerks and the Union of Leather Workers on Horse Goods were also non-committa1, asi were men of the American Federation of Musicians

Royalty Serves Diners at Banquet for Aiding
 English War Injured

London, April 27.-How completely the war is 1evelling all social barriers in England was illustrated again at the last of the series of three parties given by the king and queen at Buck ingham Palace for wounded sailors and soldiers. The function was at7 tended by upwards of 800 men, who were afterwards entertained at a va rietys show provided by stars or the London stage in the riding school of the royal news.
 Practically all of the members of the royal family expecting the king and queen helped wait on the guests at the tea party. Among the royal waitresses who served and chatted with the guests, taking great interest in their individual stories or adven- ture at the front or on sea, were the kings daughter, Princess Mary; the Princess Royal, the Princess Christian the Princess Maud, the Princess Vic toria, Princess Arthur of Connaught and the Duchess of Teck.
 The king and queen spent two hours moving among their guests and ma king solicitous inquiries, the sovereign evfncing special interest in clearing up particular points as to charges and counter-charges in battles that are now historic and ref1ecting the thorough manner in which he had familiar1zed himself with the strategy of the war Queen Alexandra, widow of the late King Edward VII, seemed everywhere in evidence and an object of partfcu- lar affection.
 Addressing the bIuff-1ook1ng soldier on attempting to rise to greet him. the king said: ss Sit down. my good fel- low; you've made your stand for us and in the very best way" Looking to- ward the viands the king added: But mind you stoke up well.,'
 It was an afternoon of gaiety' or unrestrained laughter and of good fel- lowship from which all forma1ity was banished and in which the king and queen and Queen Alexandra joined un- restrainedIyi

HARD TO GET, LONDON
 HOMES VACANT
Hotels Get Crowds of Per sons Who Had to Give
 Up Housekeeping.

London, April 27.-HOte1 and board ing houses in London are full of per- sons who were forced to shut up their homes becaues of the scarcity of servants brought about by the demands for women war labor.
 The trim parlornaid of other days is a waitress in teashop- The cook froasts and boils for hotel whose chef is fighting, the nursemaid has put on a uniform and starts the omnibus or punches a ticket on the subway.
 The skilled servants who know their work and prefer to keep it fit in and out of positions to the great benefit of employment agencies and to the despair of all who employ them A month in a private hotel brings it's circle of tips and they are off to a new employer Those who are real Iy capable demand their pound a week and allowed to wander to other fields where their genius for breaking things and their ignorance of house hold work are soon discovered. In their despair employers of domestic servants are turning to old and ine1i- gible men
 All manner of innovations are creep ing into the staid English ways. Large breakfasts and ate dinners are disap- bearing.

THE MOVIES IN THE COUNTRY

Quite frequently, as the editor takes up his rural exchanges, he finds the news that this or that little village has now a moving picture theatre. The place formerly could not have sup ported one regular theatrical company a year. Yet now it may be having it's movies every Saturday night, with the proprietor making good money.
 The little rural theater is apt to have ambitious names borrowed from metropolitan scenes These poetic titles may suggest glittering play houses on some White Way street The 'Theater'' may be merely the hall over the fire engine company. or where the Order of Red Men raises it's chiefs up to their stumps.''
 The decorations may consist merely of whitewash, and the orchestra seats may be only hard and low backed settees. But the scenes presented may open a window to the wide, wide world
 The farmer is no longer a provin- ciaI. His travel trips take him city ward, and he Is apt to see good en- tertadnnents. But s1n there are plenty of country people who stick closely at home and are reluctant to sleep outside their Own beds Even the stay-at-hone does not feel out of touch with the great world, when he sees pictures from the trenches of Europe. and the streets of great capi- taIs the romance and mystery of the Orient, and the wonders of aeropIanes and submarines.
 Proprietors of these little shows do well to remember that country life Is simple, sincere and substantial, and interested in real things. It will care more about pictures of industrial Hfe of great cities and fam o11s scenery, for truthful stories of enterprise and .ad- venture, than it will for scenes of crime and martial infidelity.

THE TOWN BEAUTIFUL
 MOVEMENT. NO. 9.

This is an age of tourists and tour ing. People keep their eyes open as they pass through towns, anxious to see what refinement and civic spirit they can find. A town that beautifies it's public streets and that has attra.c- tive residence grounds draws interest from all over a. state.
 Towns ought to take the greatest pains to beautify the streets through which this stream of motor travel is passing, also to clean up neighbor- hoods through which railroad tracks run. When motorists find dtlapidat- ed buildings, i'll kept grounds, stables decorated with circus posters, etc, they carry away a disagreeab1e ira- pression.
 The view from the railroad car Is usually one of tum'bled down chicken GOODS, piles of ashes and rubbish. Property owners perhaps say to them by won't know who 1t is that keeps such a. looking place. All the same. they know the name of the town.
 Many towns, realizing the import ance of the effect produced on travel 1ers, take pains to make little park main streets It is astonishing. what a change can be made in a dingy square by planting a few trees and shrubs.
 Every town should have a commit tee to look specially after the appear ance of these arteries of travel The owners of property a,butting on them should be urged to cooperate in a general cleanup and Identification nloVemen If a railroad won't clean the rubbish out of it's right of way. the townspeople could better afford to do it themselves than to let 1t remain If a screen of trees could be planted along the back yards adjoining rail road tracks, the traveller in a few years would get a wholly different in- presston of the place.

Granted a Divorce.

By the decision of Judge Bennett, in the superior court, Samuel $. Todd, or Brookfeld, is awarded a decree Of di- vorce from his wife Elizabeth D. Todd, of Norwalk, on the ground of deser- ton and he is also gvien the custody of the two minor children of the cou- pie. Paul, aged seventeen and Esther, aged eight years. MT. Todd brought the divorce action on the grounds of assertion and cruelty. The first was based on the act of MT. Todd in leav- ing the Todd home, in Brookhe1d, on Nov. 12. 1912, and never returning. The second cause in the action was ba- sed on the allegation of MT. Todd that on one occasion his wife hit him with a flat iron. In denying that she de- serted her husband, Mrs, Todd con- tended that on the night she left home her husband actually put her out, bar red the door against her admittance and placed a sign on the door warning her away. The testimony of Mrs. Todd was sustained by the evidence of her four daughters.
 Motors Denied.

 There is no more foolish supersti- ton than this one. It's a fad with some fun-loving letter senders to pug gle those who receive it by making them guess why stamp is in wrong corner. Postage stamps thus make no impression upon those they play such a prank on.

This unusual method Of preparing tripe which originated af~Caen, France removes it so far from the ordinary pickled tripe seen in the deIicatessen shops in the United States that it seems like quite another dish. The tripe in this form is exported from France to other countries in tins and is delicious when merely heated in a casserole.
 Take one raw double tr1pe, one OK foot three calves feet, all well SCOUT ed and washed several times in fresh water, and cut them in pieces two in ches long by one inch wide. Have an earthen pot, or saucepan, put the calves feet at the bottom, cover over with the tripe, then a layer of sliced carrots and onions, and continue in this way until the vessel is full, care fully seasoning each layer Tie in a. cloth a sprig of thyme two bay leaves, twelve whole peppers and six cloves; put this in the middle of the pot, throw over it a glass Of chutney syrup and lay on top the stalks of some green Ieeks, parsley roots and cab bage leaves.
