A meeting of Phiadelphias leading society held the other day which a started to osracise alcohol from exclusive society Miss Abby A. Sutherland read paper in which she set forth the dan gerous-ease with which the young of today be familiar with cigarettes and cocktails.
 These society women have decided that the path to dangerous alcohol and drug addictions is entirely easy especially among the young people in society and that they will all their influence discourage the of cigarettes cocktails which addic tions.

WHO Is AN AMERICAN?

If | have given to it boy or a girl
who loves it, if I have shown that I
ara loyal 10 the ideals Of freedom and
justice which it represents, 1 have the
right to call myself an American. The

GRIT ALWAYS WINS.

Grit is the thing that counts. We
all know young men who are hanging
around waiting for father to slip out
Of his old shoes. AS if a pair of shoes
ever made a man out of a loafer!
Why, fathers shoes are ten sizes too
big for any man that thinks money
somebody else has earned will make
him a gentleman!
Grit is what these young chaps
whether, they know it or not. The
day will come when the only man the
world will count worthy of it's res
pect will be he who does things, even
if he is forced to grit his teeth hard
to keep back the groan of pain.
Folks used to think that the only
real soldier was the man who marched
away to the sound of the fife and
drum, to shoot and kill and destroy.
1t is not so.-Farm life.

o dance not into being the old way
This year, sweet April, and, if thou
must sing,
Sing lower than thy wont, lest sor-
row hear
For sharper than a sword is spring;
Now, with light-hearted play
OF flowers and showers,
Be jocund thou-for to the dead this
year,
Thy flowers belong
Yea! all the youth of the world lies
here,
Cut off and cast away in it's white
bloom
And golden song.
So bring thy flowers i'll mute pro-
cessiOnal,
AS the slow-pacing maids to Adon's
tomb,
Here where the heavens, in grief i'm
periaI,
Bend Ger a world of graves their star
ry eyes.
1t is no world, this year, for song or
rose
20 dancing April, this is autumn's
year,
Thou are too young and gay for hearts
like ours,
For US the only purpose of thy flow
ers
To deck Loves bier;
All! sing thy songs to them
That sleep, for requiem
We dare not hear; this year,
We dare not hear.

SDUST THOU ART"

In yonder graveyard drear,
That fills each one with fear
We see laid away what once were men.
And meath the withered mounds,
Where no voice ever sounds,
They rest, until to dust they turn
again.
Oh, look on them to-day.
AS crumbling they decay,
Away from friends, forgotten and
alone.
Life's golden years are past,
Their joys were not to last,
The hand Of death hath claimed what
is it's own.
o mortal man, take heed,
Of thee it is decreed
That one day thou shall rest beside
them there.
Oh, learn the lesson well,
That from their graves they tell:
Thy soul alone to dust is not heir.

SPRING.

Now fades the last long streak of
snow
Now bourgeons every maze Of quick
About the Towering squares, and thick
By ashen roots the violets blow.
Now rings the woodland loud and long.
The distance takes a lovelier hue,
And drowned in yOnder living blue
The lark becomes a sightless song.
Now dance the lights on lawn and lea,
The flocks are whittier down the vale,
And milkier every milky sail
On winding stream or distant sea.
Where now the seamew pipes, or dives
In yOnder greening CLEAN, and fly
The happy birds, that change their
sky
To build and brood, that lives their
lives.
From land to land; and in my breast
Spring weakens, too, and my regret
Becomes an April violet
And buds and blossoms like the rest.
-Tennyson.

SMOKING.

DR.. Pease, Mr.. Towns, Annette Ha-
zeltOn and other reformers who re-
gard cigarette smoking as the most
dangerous vice of the age have good
reasons to regard the present state Of
affairs with alarm, for we learn from
England that the soldiers "have made
the cigarette an almost indispensi-
BILE companion Of their leisure mo-
ments." Nor have they failed to in
fuence the whole civil population to
such a degree as to bring about the
most radical changes in the customs
Of the people. The theaters, one by
one, have been obliged to fall in with
the current demand, and now smOk-
ing is permitted even at the theater
royal, Drury Lane what impressed
us most" says one Of the managers in
explanation, "Was the number of peo-
pie, principally soldiers who asked us
if they might smoke, and how very
annoying it was to tell them that they
could not do So" Accordingly the
lord chamberlain was appealed to and
cheerfully gave his consent. The mat
inees are still smokeless, but only, it
is explained, because the audiences
are made up chiefly of children.
Children nowadays are the only non
smokers.-New York Tribune.

THE NECESSARY FARMER.

It's an i'll wind that doesn't blow
the farmers some good. The armies
of Europe look to them for a great
deal of their supplies. The soldiers
are fed and clothed with the products
Of the farm, and now they are looking
to the farmer for part Of their am
munition.
Cottonseed oil is used to manufac-
ture glycerine which goes into the
manufacture Of nitroglycerine, and
thus helped to put the price Of seed
up to an unusual figure. About 3,O00,-
900 bales Of cotton have been used in
a year in the manufacture of eXplOs-
ives. Not content with that, starch
and alcohol are being used in the COM
position Of high-pOwer explosives.
The different industries in this
country have more than doubled their
consumption of corn on this account.
A barrel of pork, a cask of alcohol, a
side of beef or a consignment of ex-
plosives may not look much alike, yet
in a measure they are concentrations
of cotton meal and corn. A soldier
is clothed with cotton. His occasion
al bath is with cotton oil soap. His
beef, pork, butter, eggs and condensed
milk represent corn and cotton; when
he helps to fire a shell he is still US
ing corn and cotton. His life is sus-
tanned, and that of his enemy taken,
by the use of the same products of
the farm Selected.

ROSES IN THE SNOW.

While the wind blows wildly and the
snow-fakes fall,
A flower vendor crOuches near an ivy
wall;
His face is weakened and his coat is
torn,
But his roses in his basket like fresh
May morn.
The chill crowds hurry in the keen,
quick cold,
The beauty hawker shivers with his
wares unsold;
The snow drifts are carried on joy
Gus flight,
While the roses futter bravely in the
crisp, white night.
The arc lamp splutters and it's light
shines high,
Roses in a blizzard and not soul to
buy;
To fur-lad passersby a royal treat,
The radiance of roses on a storm
swept street.
My ears are frozen and my fingers
child,
But I've passed the fower-vendor, and
my soul is thrill'd,
And thus through the winter, dear
love, thou art
The radiance Of roses to a storm
swept heart.

TO CREATE PATRIOTISM.

OF all the countries in world, we
and we only have any need to create
artifcially the patriotism which is the
birthright of other nations. Into the
hearts of 100000 of foreign men,
less than half of them naturalized, we
must infuse that quality of devotion
which will make them place the good
of the state above their personal good,
and the safety of the state above their
personal safety. 1t is like pumping
oxygen into 100000 pairs of lungs
for which the common air is not suffi-
GENTLY stimulating. We must also
keep a watchfu1 eye upon these mems
wives-when they are so blessed
and concentrate our supreme energy
on uncounted millions Of children,
whose first step toward patriotism is
the requirement of common tongue

SUNSET.

Sunset means to me a day
Rightly ended on it's way
If I've done my very best
Then I've earned peaceful rest.
Sunset means to me I'm done
Whether I have lost or won,-
If no kindly deeds I've wrought
Then this day has passed for naught.
Sunset means at last to me,
There's a judgment day to be,
While I watch tonight it's hue
Wonder what it means to you
