The Old House Sleeps Alone.

The Old House Sleeps Alone. Tonight Old House, you sleep alone! How strange your outlines, cold as
 stone! Though the calm stars of heaven look
 on,
 For the first time all life Is gone. Yet dreams wait in each room. And kindly ghosts move through the
 gloom. The light of memory Is there, Whose steady flame drives out despair. Fair woman-grace and manhood gray, Across each threshold take their way; Their hands uplift the oak chest lid, Where doll and wooly dog are hid. A sweet wine smell floats on the cold, From sacks that brown dried peaches
 hold; While crinkly maple sugar cakes Such as some time farmwife Vie with the heads of dried herb
 bloom, Tn shedding fragrance through the
 gloom. They drop the lid and leave these
 dreams Hidden beenath the rose quilt seams The faces on the parlor wall Smile down in answer to loves call The old clock strikes the passing
 hours. The window crowds with shamrock
 flowers; Then long-lost hum of spinning
 wheel And click of knitting needles steal From some dim corridor of time. While with them floats a childhood The sleepyhollow rocker sways, The organ sounds, as in old days When supple fingers swept the keys, And Youth and Mirth made melodies Then comes the solemn voice of
 prayer A form sits in the old arm chair By many hands the feast is spread This still room holds its shrouded
 dead. But Love Is deathless and will give Perennial bloom where memories live; Though for the first, Old House, to-
 night Your dwellers all have taken flight. Since Love and Memory guard their
 own, Old House, you need not sleep alone. Cora A. Matson Dolson, in the
 Christian Advocate.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING.

| Christmas will be here, four weeks
 from today. It is time then to think
 of many things. As the Walrus said Ito the Carpenter, "Of ships. and Ehhoes, and sealing wax, and cabbages and kings" Yet more especially would we call attention to the fact that Christmas this year is going to
 be a lonely time for many American soldiers. our boys.
 It takes anywhere from twenty-five to thirty days to get a letter across the seas and safely on French soil. Now then is the time for Christmas letters, and Christmas packages to be sent. There will be a great influx of these things in the mails of Uncle Sam, and his clerks will be working overtime in order to get this good cheer off to the boys abroad. It is we'll therefore that we alleviate con- ditions somewhat and get out such packages and letters today,-now.
 Four weeks will go by before we know they have gone. Time flies in just such a manner. Christmas will be upon Us ere wear aware. As express offices, and post offices throughout the land will be working overtime from now on an ounce of common sense displayed at this time will bring 1n many moments of joy one month from today

One Good Result.
(Boston Post. )

It has been asked now and then what good the federal food adminis- tration, and MT. Hoover. especially, were doing or could do in the way of preventing the soaring of prices with consequent hardships to the people of moderate means. The answer Is: sugar.
 Suppose that no control over sugar had been exercised by the board? It would still be scarce, by the very na ture of things, but there would have been some on the market and the price would have gone up to 40 or 50 cents pound-and the rich would have got it all
 Today sugar is scarce, but such as scan be had is sold at a moderate price-and the very first to get it in the various places where there is any have been the poor.
 That's what Hoover and food con- trol can do in one case. anyway.

UNCLE SAM MEANS BUSINESS.

Even those folk who live inland will find comfort In the news that the United States Government has or dered the water-fronts of the large cities guarded by military police There had been. in the recent past, too many fires and explosions to argue we'll for the public safety. Enemy aliens barred from admit tance to certain prescribed zones, will fully violated their orders. with the result that many valuable buildings were deliberately set af1re. Now the government has sent it's armed forces to take care of these places.
 It is really time the Government took a more vigorous hand in the matter of protecting its great prop critics, and those of private indi- viduals. along the water-fronts of this country. There Is much valuable property there, and many cargoes stored on these premises, which should not be lost to the nation. Hith- erto the Government has been easy- going,-even mildly tolerant of i'm positions against its wishes. Enemy aliens have been given an inch each and some have taken miles.
 Now the bars are up. If there be any enemy alien of evil intent an armed man will take care of him. If there be those enemy aliens who wish to violate the hospitality of a great and generous, country, and who
 are caught in the act, a bullet from a soldiers rifle will decide the case. If not done in this way. proper punish

AN OLD COAL DEALER SPEAKS.
Gives Mir. Johnson a Few Facts and
 Asks Question or Two.

Asks a Question or Two. To Whom It May Concern:
 Back to the mines, MT. Johnson, md learn the coal business over again; you are too expensive for the public to sell coal according to your figures in last Tuesdays Herald. Fur thermore, this is time for crying when every man with some kind Of manhood in him is expected to do his luty and back up his Government both with words and actions and not 70 criticise its decisions. So much for the moral point of view of it and now let us get down to facts.
 During fourteen years experience in
 he coal business the writer found that he legitimate profit on ton of coal vas S1 per ton plus the difference be- tween gross ton and net ton or in oth- VT words add S1 to the purchase price and buy gross ton and sell net ton. will admit that you today may need m extra 25c, which with the increase in the value of the 24O lbs. ought to make up the difference in cost of handling it. from former days, when you take in consideration that an aver age delivery of seven tons Is a fair days work for one man and one horse.
 Now, Mir. Johnson. the Government allows you just $1.75 profit on your purchase price plus the 24O lbs That you buy Independent coal only is entirely your own fault and the public should not be asked to pay the difference. I fail to see why you should not be able to get SOME of the Company coal when you take into con- sideration that they are marketing four times as much coal as the 1nde- pendent operators.
 As a fair illustration of with what abandon the coal prices have been juggled in this good burg of ours dur ing the last summer, I like to quote our experience in the house where live. Family No. 1 bought their coal for $11 per ton; family Mo- 7 for $10.50 and family No. for $9.50; all three families using same size of coal. Gas anybody say why the difference between spring and fall prices should be $1.50 when coal only advanced soc? If this is what Is called high f1nan- ceering the writer Is glad to lc out of it.
 And at last, MT. Johnson, did you not forget to figure out the wear and tear on the coalshovel in your some what stretched account of the cost of handling COAL?
 Yours truly,
 EDWARD BERGMAN.

P. s. MIR. JOHNSON SENDS
REGARDS.

' It Is an interesting letter we print In another column, an epistle/ from
 Mfr. severin Johnson who emphatical- ly denies he is a disgruntled coal
 dealer.
 Without going into long drawn out contradiction of MT. Johnson's ef- fusion, wherein he assumes many things never stated in these columns. and misinterprets as ma6y others, we take the subjoined paragraph in which he refutes the claim that re- pairs can be made to coal carts at
 less than seven cents a ton. his orig
 lnal estimate. Hear him.
 "Repairs 7c per ton. You say a
 wagon need to break down every trip
 10 make this charge. Our company
 has got wagons at present that are not broken down but need a little tuch up. You can have the Job at your own price or 2sc for the four
 of them and we will allow 100B profit
 on top of it..
 In this instance MT. Johnson does
 lust what we had always supposed
 he would do. Tn his original state
 ment he makes the claim that 1t re-
 uuires seven cents a ton to cover the repair bill. When he wants to allot the work to others he sticks to the
 letter of his law. That is, he wants
 to repair his four carts, at his esti- mate of seven cents a ton, and would have this work done for twenty-eig cents. That would be reasonable if the four carts delivered only four tons of coal during the year. If they de- livered the five thousand tons MT. Johnson figured on we would want $2OO, our allowance for repairs. or, as first estimated, four cents a ton Originally, he asked seven cents fol each ton delivered, the seven cents tc be used for repairs. At that rate he would get $s5O to repair four coa carts, the while he offers us 28 cents How like a coal dealer!
 Other statements in this highl, camouflaged letter would under the microscopic eye of the analyst, fur. nish the same material for wonder ment. AS an instance, we might cal attention to the paragraphs which se forth the way in which a six per cent profit on investments is sought fol the coal business. The capital there mentioned is looked upon as doing duty only once. whereas any man ir

A piece of cheese in ratty gar ret has 1t all over a battleship when it comes to being left alone Only rats attack the cheese while a myriad sharp -toothed agents nibble away at the warship's skin and innards.
 Time, men say. is the Great Cor roder. But much is blamed on Time that owes its obsequies to visible, in- timate things, from apple pie to high balls-acid and deadly stimulant.
 As does Man, the Master of the World, succumb to these innocent arms of the Devil, so does the Man ofWar, Ruler of the Sea, waste away and rot from a dozen acids and gall Vanic stim mulants.
 The bottom of battleship in dock presents curious exaggeration of an advertisement for eczema cure, Pim- ply barnacles squat like white mag. gots among mangy growth of sea- weed whiskers; while from water line to keel spread the scabby areas of corrosion.
 When the ship is docked a string of floats around her support men with wire brushes. As the water falls all weeds, barnacles, and other marine growths are scraped off, These have gathered air and acid and the greasy scum of harbor water all of which attack not only paint but seam ce- ment, and steel itself.
