How well I remember the old-fashioned posies That grew in my grandmother’s yard of yore: The sweet honeysuckle, the climbing red roses. That run o’er the lattice encircling the door. Along the broad path leading down to the gateway, A border of boxwood so primly did grow. And quaint-shaped flower beds in bright colors, glowing, Delighted the eye as one passed to and fro. A big weeping willow stood nearby the gateway, Its low drooping branches a cool retreat made From the sun's fervid heat in the long days of Summer, Enticing the weary to rest ’neath its shade. Nearby stood the pump, with it’s long iron handle, A boon to the traveler thirsty and worn. Who, while pausing to drink of the cool, sparkling water. To the lovely old garden their glances would turn. The song birds their nests built secure from all prowlers. In a neat little birdhouse upraised midst the flowers; And they twittered and warbled in happy seclusion. Through the sunshine and shade all the long Summer hours. Along the old wall, like bold sentinels standing. The tall golden sunflower looked out o’er the road; And just underneath, in most charming confusion. Petunias and asters with brilliancy glowed. In a corner secluded, amid fern and mosses. The myrtle and violet bloomed in the shade; And a low rustic seat ’neath a bower of wisteria, A quiet retreat in the cozy nook made, A trumpet vine ran in magnificent riot. O’er the trunk of an elm tree grown leafless and old; Its long drooping blossoms in beautiful clusters. Enshrouding in scarlet and gold. Sweet pea and alyssum and lily-bell fragrant, The flaunting red poppy and sweet mignonette. Seemed bowing and swaying each one to the other, Like beautiful fairies in a staid minuet. How delightful it was in those long ago mornings. To cull the bright blossoms while fresh with the dew; Inhaling their perfume—1 ne’er can forget it. Though ’tis many long years since that pleasure I knew. The lovely old garden has passed from existence. Its blossoms have faded, its beauty is o’er; A mansion most stately with lawn closely shaven, Now stands in the site of that garden of yore. But no landscape patterned by fanciful flourish. Nor orchid nor palm will appeal to me so As the old-fashioned posies in grandmother’s garden, In their beautiful blossoming long, long ago. A FACT PLAINLY STATED. It is Not Difference In Station or Occupation That Makes The flood Mather—It Is The Spirit. If girls were educated to take care of themselves, they would not be so ready to marry, and they would marry better, and there would be less trouble—fewer di- I vorces. If they were brought up to work, they would know how to use the broom, the duster and the rolling pin. There are certain qualities which are just as valuable in the housekeeper and the mother, as they are in the business man—skill, intelligence, and good sense. When those qualities are rated a little higher in women, domestic machinery will run a good deal smoother, and children will be brought up to light their own battles and earn their own bread. We all know what that will tnean—less crime, fewer paupers. The press and the loom instead of the prison, the altar, instead of the scafford. Again and again the question is asked, can a woman follow any special calling, and be a good mother? Love is born, so is good sense. The woman who has those quali ties will be a good mother, wheth er she is a hand-worker or head- worker. It is not difference in station or occupation that makes the good mother—it is the spirit. Furthermore, some of the best mothers, according to the old standard, women who will toil early and late, who never leave their home, who deny themselves every comfort and give up to every right, have the worst children. They do the hardest work, they try to save their children from ev ery hardship, only to learn, when it is too late, that they have made them idle and selfish. William had just returned from college, resplendent in peg-top trousers, silk hosiery, a fa icy waistcoat and a necktie that spoke for itself. He en tered the library where his father was reading. The old gentleman looked up and sur veyed his son. The longer he looked the more disgusted he became. ‘‘Son,” he finally blurted out “you look like a d— fool!” Later, the old major who lived next door came in and greeted the boy heartily. “Wil liam,’’ he said, with undisguis. ed admiration, “you look exact ly like your father did twenty years ago when he came back from school!” “Yes,” replied William with a smile; “so father was just telling tne.”-Everybody’s Mag azine. Saved a Soldier's Life. Facing death from shot and shell in the civil war was more agreeable to J. A. Stone, of Kemp, Texas, than facing it from what doctors said was consump tion. “I contracted a stubborn cold," he writes, “that developed a cough,that stuck to me in spite of all remedies for years. My weight ran down to 13(1 pounds. Then 1 began to use Dr. King’s New Uiscovery, which completely cured me. 1 now weigh 178 pounds.” For Coughs, Colds, la Grippe, Asthma, Hemorrhage, Hoarseness, Croup, Whoop ing Cough and lung trouble,its supreme. 50o. tl.

Ohilctrwn Ory FOI FLETCHER'S QAaTORIA TEASING AN AUSTRALIAN. The Rt. Hon. George H. Reid, the Australian statesman, was de claiming against a proposed meas ure at a public meeting. Mr. Reid is an enormously fat man, weighing in the neighborhood of 300 pounds. “In ten years,” he said, “we shall see the futility of this thing. In ten years we shall know how vicious it is. In ten years all men will understand what I am saying, and I shall be proved right. In ten years—” “How about thirty years?” asked a man in the audience. ‘Oh,” snorted Reid, “never mind about thirty years. We shall all be dead in that time.” ‘!Then the fat will be in the fire; won’t it, Mr. Reid ?” shouted the same man. — Saturday Evening Post. BOY'S ANSWER TO A POET. Bliss Carman, editor end author told in a dinner at New York a story about James Russell Lowell and a bad boy. “A Boston woman,” said Mr. Carman, asked Lowell to write in her autograph album, and the poet complying, wrote the line: “What is so rare as a day in June?” “Calling at this woman’s house a few days later, Lowell idly turn^ ed the pages of the album till he came to his own autograph.

Bill Jones was an eccentric char acter, a local justice of the peace in a South Carolina town. He was exceedingly tall—so attenuated —in fact, that but for his hat he would not have cast his shadow. One night a number of his bonvi- vants joined him in a symposium, and many mint juleps were con sumed. One of the party unstead ily produced a revolver. It was accidentally discharged, and a bul let struck Bill Jones in the leg. * Conscious-stricken and wabbly with excitement and juleps the owner of the weapon hastened to the home of the nearest doctor and pulled the door bell. At length the physician, who had himself been spending a riotous evening, stuck his head from the second story window. “Whazza mazza?” he demanded thickly. “I jush shot Bill Jones in the leg,” replied the man below. Shot Bill Jones in the leg?” repeated the doctor wonderingly. “Ash what I shaid, ” replied the offender. “Shot Bill Jones in the leg.” “Well,” he said, “that wash a h—1 of a good shot.” And he closed the window and went back to bed.
