GUEST OF THE GOLDEN FLEECE.
The swift wind moves across the growing
grain,
Which rippIes softly like sleeping sea !;
10 the horizon sweep the pillows free,
Moving, yet anchored to the level plain.
So move the waves across the land locked
bay
Beneath the unwilling glory of the sun,
While eastward fitting shadows lightly
run,
And warm Winds pass upon their seward
way.
Dreaming 1 seem to hear the cordage
groan
Which binds the sail upon the .straining
mast;
1 wake TO hear the whirling windmin's
moan,
like some toil-weary Titan of the past:
Ye who have sought the Fleece without
avail,
This is the sea wherein We should set sail
-Ninette NJ. Lowater, in New York Sun.

Germany is reported not to be
worrying at all because there is one
two more enemies in the arena
against her. But why should she?
Her hands could not be fuller were it
possible for a dozen more fees to take
up the battle against her and the nu-
merically few allies she has. But
Germany's complacence in her pres
Ont predicament is nevertheless re-
lnarkable. However. the German gen
eral staff is likely to be tolerably busy
these days and nights, and buster than
ever before.

Another remarkable feature of the
sham battles that various units of the
United States navy are now engaged
in fighting is that they have been so
free so far from disaster of one sort
or another. Possibly the ships of the
United States navy are not as faulty
and the personnel of the officers in
command of them not so incompetent
as some of the navy's critics would
have the world believe.

Things Worth Knowing.
For Baby's Napkins-The following
is something indispensable in an
'oriole basket" for baby: Use piece
of material to match the upholstering
of the cart-a light tan corduroy.
From this material cut a cushion
cover the exact size of the foOtrest.
Next, cut lining for same from white
oil cloth. Then sew corduroy cover up
in the usual manner, leaving the top
edge open and sewing on three snap
fasteners. Proceed to sew the lining
up in the same manner, emitting the
fasteners, and sewing one edge of oil
cloth to one side of corduroy top. Now
put ties at each corner of this fin
ished cover, tying it firmly in the
footrest.
Use this to keep diapers. in when
taking baby out, and any soiled ones
are put in the oil cloth pocket" put
the clean ones between pocket" and
outside cover.
Plum Preserves.
Weigh fruit and use the. same of
sugar: to each part of sugar use one
teacupful of water. Stir well and add
white of one egg slightly beaten, stir
and boil When it boils pour in gill
of cold water and set off the fire;
after standing five minutes skim or
strain. When you bring to boiling
point again drop in the plums and
cook one hour. This is for sour plums.
Peaches and pears are nice made the
same way, only using three-fourths as
much sugar.

Calves Retirement.
What's this the papers tell about!
Calve says she is too stout
To Sirg the modern opera stuff
And must retire? Gee, that's tough!
Since childhood we've been wont to pay
Our hard-earned dough 10 hear Calse-
Our grandpa says he heard her, too,
When he was young, and now she's
through.
They say Calve has grown so fat
She can't reach up to pin her hat
And can't live in modern flat
And move around But what OF that!
Suppose she does take lots of space,
You cannot say that's a disgrace
/ care not for her size, by jing,
l go to hear the lady sing.
Our oldest institutions must
Be kept a-going, friends, or bust.
The greatest Carmen of the age
Wen have, though we enlarge the stage.
1 want my grandsons 20 enjoy
Tn: voice heard when but boy.
1t is burning shame, l say,
TO lose the fair but fat Calve.
Happiness.
If you go round giving out gobs of
gloom
And lookin' like the inside of a tomb,
And bein' pessimistic as you go.
You're goin' to git back a lot of woe.
If you go round passin' a word of
cheer
And maxim folks glad that they are
here.
Contentment is bound fer to come to
you
And stick to you always jes' like glue.
Happiness amt in no certain place,
1t amt tc be caught by runnin'
around
And GOVERN a gosh-durned lot of
ground
Fer happiness is just the same as pelf,
1t amt no good less you make it
yourself.
It's something no mortal man kin buy
No matter how hard he may scratch
and try.
For happiness faint no use to roam,
You're more apt to find it right to
The Joys of Journalism.

Who steers insurance agents round your

Who gets you into mining deals that never

Who happens in at meal time every day?
Who keeps your lawn mower busy when
you want the thing yourself?
Who's always glad to borrow, not to
lend:
Who envies you the toys you wear and
eovets all your pelf?
Who would it be, now frankly, but your

There seems to be some opposition
in the northeastern corner of the coun-
ty to the bonding proposition for road
improvement. That is the section of
the county that will be most benefited
and there ought not to be single
negative vote cast against the PROPOSE
ton in the lake region. But there are
always those who are blind to their
own best interests. A good, hard
surfaced north and south road would
be of more benefit to the lake, towns
than north and south railroad.
