Ai night, when the moon is clear and shows clean edges, with no halo or ring around it, ihere is little danger of rain. When the wind blows steadily from the west, the weather will continue fair; it very rarely rains in our eastern States with the-wind in the west. Watch the smoke from a chim ney or from your campfire it is a good barometer. If the smoke rises high, it means clear weather. The smoke will also show from which direction the wind is blow ing; so will a flag on an upright flagstag. A gray early morning, not a heavy, cloudy one, promises a fair day. A heavy dew at night is seldom followed by rain the next day. Think of it this way: Wet feet, dry head. Animals are said often to show by their actions what the weather will be, and there is reason for this. Some of them certainly have a knowledge of coming storms. We are told that spiders are es pecially sensitive to weather changes, and when they make new webs the weather will be fair; if they continue spinning during a shower, it will soon clear off. Adelia B. Beard, in St. Nicholas. Some sings of the lily, and daisy and rose, And the pansies and pinks that the summertime throws In the green grassy lap of the medder that lays Blinkin' up at the skies through the sunshiny days; But what is the lily and all of the rest Of the flowers to a man with a heart in his breast That was dipped brimniin' full of the honey and dew Of the sweet clover blossoms his babyhood knew ? I never set eyes on a clover field now, Er fool round a stable, er climb in the mow, But my childhood comes back jest as clear and as plane As the smell of the clover I'm sniffin' again; And I wunder away in a barefooted dream, Whare I tangle my toes in the blossoms that gleam With the dew of the dawn of the morning of love Ere it 'vept o'er the graves that I'm weepin' above. And so I love clover it seems like a part Of the sacredest sorrows and joys of my hart; And wherever it blossoms, oh, there let me bow And thank the good God as I'm lhankin' Him now; And 1 pray to Him still for the stren'th when I die, To go out in the clover and tell it goodbye, And lovin'ly nestle my face to its bloom While my soul slips away on a brethof perfume.

I A young woman who thought she was losing her husband's af fection went to a seventh daughter of a seventh daughter for a love powder. The mystery woman told her: Get a raw piece ot beef, cut flat, about an inch thick. Slice an onion in two and rub the meal on both sides ot it. Put on pepper mid salt, and toast it on each side, over a red coal hre. Drop on it The feature of the evening session of Tuesday was the Re-union ad dress by Irvin Cobb, of Kentucky, the famous war correspondent and leading humorist of America, who is the son of a Confederate soldier as well as otherwise largely connected with the veteran soldiery of the South. As he walked out upon the stage the audience rose as one man and cheeredand following his introduction by General Young the band softly played "My Old Kentucky Home," while the sweet voices of sponsors and maids took up the strain. At the conclusion of his speech the band played "Dixie" amidst thunderous applause and the high notes of the Rebel yell, which proclaimed the thorough apprecia lion of that patriotic audience. Mr. Cobb's address had the touch of humor lor which he is noted, but more largely was the strain of pathos and his references to the veterans of the Confederacy made each one present feel that he was being referred to individually. Apart of his address is here given : "I do not remember the Confederate soldier with the gleam of battle in his eye. I have known him as a man of peace, and to my mind the typical picture of the Southern soldier is not a man in soldier straps. I picture him as he is pictured as ihe central character in a little story I shall now relate. Alter the war this man returned to his home in a little country town and began the practice of medicine. Because of his unkept and meager condition, the well to do's had small need of his services. But the needy knew and loved him because they realized that behind the gnarled hands that fought throughout the war was ability, and that be neath ihe tousled and twisted head was a skilled brain. "This doctor, being of small means, could not afford a nice office so he fixed himself up a little musty stand over a stable, and down be low he placed a board on the old hitching post, reading, 'Dr. Brown upstairs. But one riiorning his comrades looked for him in vain. They sought him in his office, and they found that the wrinkled hands had ceased to pick the coverlet, and the head was hi rest on the pillow. "Those who loved him were not wealthy people, but they buried him with honor and searched for funds to build a monument to him The funds were not to be found among them, however. And them one of them had an inspiration. It was to take the old hitching post from the front of the stable and put it over the grave. This was done. and until the rain obliterated and the sun drew away the letters the monument stood there, 'Dr. Brown, upstairs.' And that is the way I think of every Confederate soldier who has gone before. They're all upstairs. "And I want to tell you thai you were not fighting for a lost cause When you bared your breasts and marched bravely to war to fight triple and sometimes quadruple your number, were you fighting for i lost cause ?' When you accepted the conditions forced upon you by tne might of numbers and returned to your homes, salted by the bones of your forefathers and sanctified by the tears of your women, 10 build upon the charred embers a new South, were you fighting for a lost cause'? 'And when up yonder, where the Southern Cross blazes, when the Confederate army files through the alabaster gates, past the Command- What has become of the old fashioned man who used 10 wear a yard of crepe on his hat ? There was a time when a wo man had four or five pots simmer ing on the stove all the time and the man of the house got three squares a day. But now-a-days if the average housekeeper lost the can-opener her husband would have to go hungry. A girl is loo modest to parade the street wearing a wet bathing suit. But she will wear a thin silk waist that leaves nothing to the imagination and will think noth ing of it. We may believe everything else a man says. But we never believe him when he explains how he got that black eye. The average conversation is merely a ten-minute space wasted by a listener who has 10 be courte ous to a talker. Even after a man has let a girl compel him to ask her to marry him, ihe boob will go around and tell you that there ain't no such animal as Hypnotism. Somehow or other there were not half as many bill collectors em ployed in the old days when the average man wore a paper collar. The reason Woman Suffrage isn't general is because the right sort of women haven't time to bother with politics. You can bet that if the Mothers of this country wanted the vote ihey would be voting by this time next year. The average man can't see why he should worry about laying up something for a rainy day as long as he owns a dollar umbrella. Every time a man asks a fat wo man how much she weighs he is deliberately adding to the number of lies recorded in the Big Book.

A LIQUID EVIDENCE. A publican was prosecuted for selling a bottle of whiskey during prohibited hours. A bottle of whis key was produced as evidence. The jury heard the evidence and retired to the jury room. They presently returned. "My lord," said the foreman, "the jury is quite satisfied as to the sale of the bottle, but they are not sure of its contents. May they have the bottle to satisfy themselves ?" "Certainly," declared the judge. After a brief period the jury filed into the box again. "Well, gentlemen, have you reached a decision?" asked the judge. "No case, my lord," said the foreman.
