THE WOODS BY DOUGLAS MALLCCH
MEMORIES.

vxyHAT is it most that the soul re. w members In the long years that come after
 whiles? What are the thoughts of the long De
 cembers When white and empty lie snowy
 miles? What is the picture that grows and
 smiles Deep in the heart of the glowing em-
 bers? We dream no dream of the passing
 pleasures That held us thralls in an idle hour, We count no riches in heaping meas
 ures Nor pulse again with a futile
 power Nay, yerdant tree or a crimson
 flower Is the jewel then that the memory
 treasures. Oh, these are the visions that come
 long after When face to face with our own
 sad soul; We see a tree in the smoky rafter, Behold rose in the glowing coal; The. months of wintertime backward
 roll And the room is filled with the ghost
 of laughter. For here is the tree that we knew to-
 gether When the ending year was spring
 time young; The northman's pine and the Scots
 mans heather, The Britons oak where the chill
 dren swung Oh, these are the things by the night
 wind sung Above the roar of the wintry weather. For all the year is time of clover While Memory sits by the ingleside, And Home goes forth with the world
 Wide rover To ev'ry country OCT ev'ry tide; And when the autumn has dropped
 and died We live our summers, our summers
 over. Life has it's seasons and life it's sor- rows, When the soul sits dreaming dream like this, When the hungry heart from the pale
 past bOrrOws A silenced voice or an endless kiss Yea, in our sorrow we find our
 bliss, And weave of Yesterdays our Tomor-
 rows.

MEMORIAL TO GRANT
Grand Statue at Washington Is
 Nearly Finished.
Second Largest Equestrian Statue in the World Has Been Eighteen
 Years In the Making.

Washington.-Eig years in the making, a memorial to Gen. U. 5. Grant is nearing completion here, and probably will be unveiled before the end of the year. It is in the form of magnificent equestrian statue of bronze, the second largest of its kind in the world, mounted on granite pedestal and flanked on the left by g casting of group of cavalry and on the right by a group of artillery, both groups done in bronze.
 Two huge lions in stone at the foot of the pedestal complete the memorial.
 The equestrian figure stands 16 feet high, weighs 1O,70o pounds and costs $250OOO. The memorial Is located in the botanic gardens at the foot of the capitol grounds, and congress has ap- proved removal of a section of the iron fence on the east front of the gardens to admit the statue and to provide space for spectators at the unveiling ceremonies.
 Authority for he creation of the memorial was given by congress on Feb 23, 1901. The competition for the statue was held in 1902 and the award was to Henry M Shrady, a noted sculptor of Elmsford, N. r., whose de- sign was selected by a jury consisting of Augustus Saint-Gaadens, Daniel Chester French, Daniel Fl. Burnham and Charles F. McKim.
 The pedestal was designed by Ed- ward Pierce Casey of New York, assO- ciated with Mir. Shrady, and was com pleted and put in place in 1906.
 The equestrian statue has just now been finished, however, and was shipped here in sections by motortruek from New York city.
 The memorial to the famous general and eighteenth President of the United States will bear no inscription, ac- eording to the members of the fine arts commission, who recently approved the statue in it's completed form. A member of the Grant memorial con- mission had composed a lengthy in- seription, but after careful considera- tion officials of the commission and of the office of public buildings and grounds deemed an inscription un- necessary.

thought more about catching birds than he did about losing his friends So he went to the woods and hid un- der some bushes and waited.
 When the birds flew down to the ground Fuss came out, thinking he must look so much like bird himself they would not be scared, but when they saw him they flew away chatter ing loudly to the trees out of his reach.
 "Why don't you stay and play with me" he asked in soft tone. Don't you see am bird like you? l have feathers"
 "Yes, we see your feathers" an swered the birds, ''but we also see your feet and you have four We do not play with four-footed animals"
 Fuss had not thought about his feet. He thought all he needed was feathers. He was pretty hungry now, so he ran back home thinking he could get Tabby Grey to share her milk with him, but when she saw him she hump ed her back and looked very fierce.
 Fuss tried to tell her who he was, but it was no use She would not lis- ten and there was nothing to do but go back to the woods.
 Just as he was running along the path hunter, seeing the queer ani- mal, raised his gun and fired, but Fuss was lucky and ran behind rock unharmed.
 There he stayed thinking over his sad plight. He was covered with feathers and still he was not a bird, and even his own kind would not have him around

 It was long time before Fuss was rid of his feather coat and he looked anything but handsome for a long time, but when he did at last get back his soft white coat he was a wiser puss, you may be sure.

ONES MORNING CUP

THERE are unfortunately few of 1 us who dare lie late in bed and have our breakfast served to us be- fore we rise. Yet, if woman is nervous, Jagged out, semi-invalid, or convalescing, there are few other things that will make her look better and feel better during the day, than cup of coffee before rising.
 Those who conserve their strength will stay young looking longer than those who overuse their energies. Wrinkles and sallowness and hollow cheeks and dull eyes may be warded off for many years, if a woman will hold some energy in reserve. And this extra rest in the morning will do worlds of good.
 To be sure, it is only for those who ean-or mus+-tal-n tho time 70 lio g.

 What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM OF MOUNTAINS

IF IN your dreams you see a noun \ tain it indicates that great possibil- fties in life lie before you. The high or the mountain the greater are the heights to which you have it in you to rise. It is lucky to dream of a mountain and if it is a wooded noun tain the luck is still greater. To dream that you ascend a mountain Indicates that you will rise to wealth and greatness and that your children, if you have children, will also be per sons of position. If the mountain is rough and craggy and you have diff culty in ascending it, and vet do so, 1t indicates that you will have many difficulties, perhaps, in accomplishing your designs, but if you persevere on toward the summit success awaits you in whatever you undertake, however difficult your undertaking may be. Not only wealth but public office is indi- cated for one who in his dreams sue cessfully negotiates a rugged noun tain. If the dreamer be maid, It in- dicates that she wall marry a man who will achieve all these successes, and If a married woman the success will ap- pertain to her husband. To dream simply of seeing craggy mountains without ascending them only an nounces that there will be many diff faculties for you to overcome in arriv- ing at the state of wealth or great ness which it is. yours to attain if you persevere. To dream that in ascending mountain you come across chasms or precipices which compel you to turn back, you may ex- pect troubles and reverses; but by firinness and determination the future will be made bright to you again. Many dream experts are of the opin- ion also that seeing mountain indi- cates a journey to a foreign country.

Robin Hood" is spoken of by alalost eEsEy gFeat RSgssxl poet Tunnel Watchman Uses 1t as Weapon in Battle With Cop
 perhead Snakes.

Clearfield, Surrounded on al1 sides by hissing copperheads, Joe Leonard, watchman at the Fulton tun- mel, on the New York Central rail-. road, owes his life to q kettle of hot water which he always has on the top of the little cast-iron stove in the shanty which shelters him from the clements. The other day after com, pleting his inspection of the tunnel, Leonard returned to his watch box and on entering found six big copper. heads had taken possession.
 The biggest reptile in the bunch struck at him from beneath bench fastening it's fangs in a leg of t.-a 'watchman's overalls. Leonard sprang on to a small bench, permitting the oopperhead to dangle over the side. Realizing that he could not battle the snakes without weapons, he seized the teakettle and began pouring boiling water on the snakes, which were strik. log at him from all sides.
 Leonard then sprang outside with the biggest snake still hanging to it's overalls, evidently unable to release it's faues. With big rock the watch. nan soon dispatched his closest enemy.

SEASoNABLE DISHES

This is the season for fudge mak- ing. Try adding a spoonful or two of molasses to the fudge mixture after it has cooked five minutes. It i'm proves the flavor and keeps the candy from suearing. Spices, cinnamon, a bit of cloye, chopped dates and figs make a delicacy more easily digested than fudge rich with nuts. A most wholesome candy for children is fudge thickened with corn flakes. Crisp the flakes and stir in as many as the mix ture will hold. A nice peanut fudge is made by putting a layer of peanuts in a greased pan, then pour over the fudge just before 1t gets hard, after a good beating.

 When he went to the kitchen for his saucer of milk, Cook, seeing this strange looking creature, screamed and ran after him with the broom.
 As he ran past Mr. Dogs house out he came barking and chased Fuss out of the yard and when the hens and ducks saw him theys all began to make terrible noise.

THE FEATHER COAT

H NCE there was a puss who had NJ coat of all white and it both cred him so much when he lay in wait for birds in the garden that he wished it was some other color.
 "If I had a gray coat like Tabby Grey's I should be better able to hide" he thought, "or if 1t even was black I should not show up as I do now in the grass"
 One day when Fuss was roaming around the farm he came to place where there was a pile of feathers.
 "Oh, if only I could have coat of feathers" thought Fuss, "I should never want for birds"
 So Fuss went to the barn and found

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"CooTiEu

DROBABLY more new words < entered the English lan- guage since August l. 1914, than in any similar time in his tory. "Boche" and seamou- fage," Big Bertha," Archie" and 'blighty" are only few of the terms which, though ex- isting prior to the outbreak of hostilities, were comparatively unknown on this side of the At lantic. But few of the war words caught the popular fancy and at the same time aroused public interest like "cootie."
 Some of the English troops, when asked as to the origin of the name, declared that the parasites were so called because the soldiers, in derision. referred to them as "cuties.o Te arrive at the real genesis of the term, however. one mnst 90 back a good Qeal 1NLLhAE 1lAll- --A-e laa1AA4 "A A44a- ory Of any living man. In at least three places in the British isles the word has been. used for many years with varying mean ings. When, for example, Scotchman spoke of q "cootie" he referred either to a porridge- bowl or to g fowl with feathers on it's legs. In Shropshire the word means "snug" or comfort able" while the natives of Worcestershire used it to refer to something that wriggied or squirmed It was very evidently the latter definition, coupled with the fact that a large coo tie might be said to resemble a weird kind of bird, that gave rise to the nickname-though it is an interesting fact that kuti is the Sansarit word for body and khuti, in Urudu, means "scab."

WILL NOT DUMP

Germans Wish To Assure Ameri.
cans That No Cheap Wares Will
Be Exported.

Berlin, Feb. 12.-Representatives
of German export manufacturers,
at a meeting here today, voted to
memOriahze tie American govern
mental bodies dealing with tariff
matters, setting forth present con-
ditions among German working
men and the German industries,
and supplying all available data on
German production. This docu-
mentary matter is intended fc- use
as an argument not only of no in
tention on the part of Germany to
dump cheap Ge. man wares on the
American market, but that it would
be impossible for her to do so.
In speeches at the meeting, ex-
porters declared the workmen were
highly paid, aid would work only
six hours day, which keeps down
production to such an extent that
no country need fear a flood of
cheap German goods. Committees
were named to collect data from
every important export industry for
submission to America.
