The Woman Makes the flome
She makes it best who, looking after the
culinary department, turns her back resolute
ly upon unhealthlul, or even suspicious, food
accessories. She is economical; she knows
that true economy docs not consist in the use
of inferior meat, Hour, or baking powder. She
is an earnest advocate of home made, home
baked food, and has proved the truth of the
statements of the experts that the best cook
ing in the world today is done with Royal
Baking Powder.

United States Judge Emory
Specr, of the Southern district of
Georgia, recently had before his
court a typical Georgia mountain
eer on a charge of illicit distilling.
"What's your name?" demand
ed the judge.
"Joshua, jedge," drawled the
prisoner.
"Joshua, who made the sun
stand still?" smiled the judge, in
amusement at his laconic answer.
"No. sir. Joshua who made
the moon shine," answered the j
quick-witted mountaineer.
And it is needless to say that
Judge Speer made the sentence as
light as he possibly could. Atlanta
Journal.
Oh, the days are gone when Beauty bright
My heart's chain wove;
When my dream of life from morn till night
Was love, still love.
New hope may bloom,
And days may come
Of milder, calmer beam,
But there's nothing half so sweet in life
As love's young dream,
No, there's nothing half so sweet in life
As love's young dream.
Though the hard 10 purer lame may soar,
When wild youth's pa-.l;
Though he win the wise, whofioun'd befon
To smile al last;
I le'll never meei,
A joy so sweet,
In all his noon of fame,
As when first he sung to woman's ear
His soul-felt flame.
And, at every close, she blushed to hear
The one loved name.
No, that hallowed form is ne'er forgot ,
Which first love traced;
Still it lingering haunts the greenest spot
On memory's waste.
'Twas the odor lied
As soon as shed;
'Tvas morning's winged breath,
'Twas a light that ne'er can shine again
On life's dull stream.
Oh, 'twas light that ne'er can shine again
On life's dull stream.

THE WIDE, SWEET ROAD,
Take the wide, sweet road to the daily toil,
And the road of the sweet dream home,
Where the storm's at rest and the waves asleep
And the soft winds kiss the foam.
1 ake the wide sweet road to the roaring man.
And the '.wen road home io the loving he.u i
t )h, a house is a house and a home is a place
Where living has made life sweet,
And loving has made il a golden goal
And the dream of a glad retreat
I ake the wide sweet road to the iml and viucsi
And the sweet road home lo a loving breast.
You may furnish the house with the best effect
And adorn with the daintiest taste,
But without love there it is dark and drear
As night on a desert waste,
Take the wide sweet road to the duty down.
And the sweet road home to her heart from town.
Take the wide sweet road through the golden years,
And make it a way so bright
That the thought and the dream of its pleasant bourne
X'i1l lead to its joy at night.
Take the wide sweet load 'neath the bright blue sky
With a dream of the lips that you kissed good-by,
And home to her heart in the twilight place
Where the home and the heart are a common grace.
