EVERY MANS HOME.

Every mans home is the best old
home,
And every mans wife is the sweet
est.
Every mans child is the best little
child,
The best behaved and the neatest,
Every mans baby is better than all
And just so it's babies and wives and
homes,
Why. let em blow their horn.
Every mans wife makes the finest
preserves,
And every mans wife bakes bread
That beats all the bread that ever was
made
From Hatteras to Stony Head.
Every mans home is the best TO see
The finest housekeeping on earth
And just it's bread and preserves
and home,
Let 'em keep on with their mirth
When every man thinks that his own
homes best,
And his own wife sweetest, why
then
Well swing back into the golden
dream
OF heaven on earth again.
And isn't it beautiful, fine and sweet,
That faith OF a man in his child.
And his wife and his home and his
simple life,
That he boasts of undefiled.
When every mans home is the sweet
est place
On earth for a man to he
When every mans wife is the sweet
est wife
In all the world to see;
When every mans child is the dearest
child
That ever drew breath-ah. then
We shall have better children and
women and homes.
And a long sight better men

A WINTER DAY

It is bitter roaring day, the wind
comes whooping down the hill; the
spies are a leaden gray, and I
would give ten cents for May, with
azure sky and babbling rill. The
winds each moment colder grow, that
through my whiskers blow apace;
and there are symptoms now of snow;
my cordwood pile is getting low:
such weather is a rank disgrace. It's
sad to see the furnace eat the costly
coal, and call for more, then shed
around some sickly heat, not strong
enough to melt the sleet that's drift
ed underneath the door. It's sad to
shovel in the coal, and know that
each expensive lump, diminishes your
hard-earned roll, and puts you deeper
in the hole, and brings you nearer to
the dump. My scanty wages l have
earned by labors fierce, that made
me yell; it's hard to see such money
burned, to see ones savings hourly
turned to ashes, which one cannot
sell. An ashpile's' all have to show
for long weeks in the changing mart;
for endless journeys to and fro, for
weary trips in rain and snow, and
things that rend the human heart.
The day wears on to evening, each
minute brings an added jar; I sit as
gloomy as king, the while the girls
waltz round and sing, Brighten the
corner where you are"

MEMBERSHIPS
THE LAW OF SIX

Snow crystals obey an imnautable=
law of six, the Cleveland Plain Dealer
tells us. The rare six-sided Jewels or
six-pointed stars. They never answer
to the law Of four or five. Snow is
crystalized water and water always
crystalizes in six-sided forms. Why?
no-one will ever know. There is no
apparent reason for the sixness Of
crystallized water than there is for
the monoclinic prisms of sugar cry-
stalls.
Water and sugar and the complex
minerals which make the granite
rock all follow laws which are ut
terly Interchangeable, but which are, as
far as we can see, without any spe-
cial reason. It is as profitable to
speculate why the chlorophyll Of veg
tation is green and why the blood Of
animals is red.
The wilderness Of the snow is under
standable. It is due to the fusion Of
prismic colors scintillating from the
countless surfaces of minute crystals.
Human science comprehends this. It.
also comprehends the fact that snow
is poor conductor of heat and thus
prevents terrestrial radiation and
keeps the earth and the things in the
earth snug and warm under its white.
blanket which is softer and finer than
lambs wool or eiderdown. Science
knows why snow is white and Why it
is beneficient: But it cannot explain
the law of six.
It is we'll that snow cannot be alto
gether explained. 1t is one Of the
earth's most beautiful mysteries. It.
would lose something in beauty were
it to lose all its mystery. No-one
should accept the snow too much Is q
matter Of course. A pocket naRni-
tier will disclose gems Of wonderful
brilliancy to whomsoever will look.
When the next lazy snowfall comes.
when the flakes are not hardened
and beaten by the tempest, study
the designs Of infinite variety that
are built by the master craftsman-
ship OF nature on the rigid. plan Of
six: 1t will give the snow q new
and finer meaning.

SOME READABLE VERSE
SAMANTHA ANN.

NV sawdust heart is broken, and my
china eyes are sad
This night has been the darkest that
I ever, ever had;
The little girl who owns me used to
tuck me in my bed
And whisper that she loved me, while
she covered up my head
And told me to be careful not to kick
the covers off,
For fear might be croupy. or should
catch the whooping cough.
But yesterday stranger came and
took my cherished place
A waxen, flax-haired stranger, with
bright unbattered face,
The little girl who owns me let me
drop upon the floor
And Rugged the stylish stranger, and
has thought of me no more;
And all last night, neglected, have
slept beside the wall,
Unhappy and untidy, poor Samantha
Anna doll. .~
One year ago my fortune seemed to
be serenely bright
The little girl would hold me in her
arms from. morn to night;
She made me share her play with
her, she tried to make me eat,
She showed me. to all callers-and
they vowed that was sweet;
I had Four sets of dresses, and para
sol and fan,
And she would say that was her be-
loved Samantha Ann . r.. Z.
Alas! my dress is tattered-I've no
other to put on; g..
Half of my hair is missing, and my
poor left arm is gone;
And now the silk-clad beauty that was
smiling from the tree
Has claimed all the attention that
was once bestowed on me
My sawdust heart is broken-I have
slept against the wall, "
Where she, with shouts of welcome
for the other, let me fall!

SAVE THE COAL

. ..-.. OA ' T. NE OOAL
Save the coal and win the war,
For then we'll lick the kaiser sure.
Big or little be the amount
Every bit is sure to count.
Do it now before too late
Or else defeat will be our fate
If you're liberal with money, be tight
with coal
And do not use more than your stove
should hold,
Don't let it waste upon the ground,
For unlike the dirt, coal is not found.
Every lump saved is a sign that you
care
And are doing your bit for the boys
over there.
Coal is needed to fight the Hun
To run an engine and make the gun.
Coal is needed to grind the wheat
To make the flour which we eat.
Coal is needed to run the train,
For coal it is the engines brain.
Coal is needed to run factory wheels,
To make the cannon and ball of steel,
It is needed to run ships across the
sea,
To fight the battles Of the free.
To fight for cause neither bought
nor sold,
And if we shall win it we must save
coal.

WHEN THE COWS COME HOME

With klingle, klangle, klingle
Far down the dusky dingle,
The cows are coming home;
How sweet and clear, and faint and
low,
The airy tinklings come and 60,
Like chimings from far-of tower
Or gatherings of an April shower
That make the daisies graw;
Rolling, ko-lang, ko-lingle-lingle,
Far down the dark'ning dingle,
The cows come slowly home;
And old-time friend, and twilight
plays,
And starry night and sunny days,
Come trooping up the misty ways,
When the cows come home
With tingle, tangle, Jingle,
Through fern and Periwinkle,
The cows are coming home;
A-loitering in the checkered stream,
Where the sun-rays glance and CLEAN,
Clarine, Peach-bloom and Phoebe
Philler,
Stand knee-deep in the creamy lilies,
To-ling, to-link, to-linkle- linkle.
Ger banks with buttercups a-twinkle,
The cows come slowly home;
And up through Memory's deep re-
vine
Come the brooks old song and its
old time sheen,
And the crescent of the silver queen,
When the cows come home.
With klingle, klangle, klingle,
With 100000, and "moo-oo',' and
jingle,
The cows are coming home;
And over there on Mealin hill,
Sounds the plaintive cry of the whip
poor-will poor-will
And the dew-drops lie on the tangled
vines,
And over the poplars Venus shines,
And over the silent mill,
Rolling, ko-lang, ko-lingle-lingle,
With ting-a-ling and jingle,
The cows come slowly home.
Let down the bars; let in the train
Of long-gone songs, and flowers, and
rain
For dear old times come back again,
When the cows come home.

CONSERVATION: CONSTERNA-
TON

Permit me to warn other food con-
servers regarding that meat substi-
tute known as nut loaf" We had
been conserving with profit and good
cheer at our house till somehow we
became inoculated with the nut loaf
germ; it sounded so toothsome and
nourishing. Nut loaf is a sort of
conglomerate or concrete containing
mostly the meats of nuts mingled
with tomatoes, pimento, garlic, iron
filings, leather scraps, bread crumbs,
gas-house coke and comic supple
ments. As a binder it has an egg,
which is now one of the reasons for
our regret. Our maid was busy for
two days with blue-prints and speci-
fcations compromising this delicacy:
it tasted just like the above recipe and
digested worse. One morsel would
have been enough for family of ~.
We tried to feed some of it to the
squirrel in our back yard and an
hour later he came back with fire in
his eye, broke down the kitchen door
and bit the maid on the leg. We did
not clip this recipe from the daily pa
per but we wish we had got it there
for hen we would sue for damages.
Somebody just told us about it.; they
lied.
-Disappointed,
