“THE MAN LAND.”
Little boy, little boy, would you go so
soon,
To the land where the grown man
lives?
Would you barter your toys and your
fairy things
For the things that the grown man
gives?
Would you leave the haven whose doors
are set |
With the jewels of Love's alloy
For the land of emptiness and regret?
Would you go, little boy, little boy?
It's @ ‘and far off, little boy, little boy,
And the way it is dark and steep;
And once you have passed through its
doors, little boy i
You mayn't even come back to sleep. i
There is no tucking in, no good-night |
kiss, |
No mornings of childhood joy. i
It's passion and pain you give for this,
Think well, little boy, little boy!
Little boy, little boy, can't you see the!
ghosts
That live in the land off there;
The ‘‘broken hearts,’ ‘‘fair hopes,’
dead;
“Lost faith” and ‘‘grim despair?’
There's a train for that land in the af-
ter years,
When old Time rushes in to destroy,
The wall that stands "tween the joy and
the tears—
So don't go, little boy, little boy!

THE LITTLE WEAVER.
“If you please, Mr. Avery, I shall
have to run father’s looms while he |
is out.”
The overseer looked over his desk
in surprise at the diminutive figure
standing just within the office door, |
with a tightly rolled check apron!
and a weaver's belt in her hands.
“Who is your father? and why
isn't he doing his own work?" he
questioned sharply. |
’ Weeden, sir, and he sent—"
“He's drunk again, I suppose;

looms. In another minute they were
clattering and banging as hard as
the rest; and she was flying all
about them, changing the shuttles
and mending broken threads, doing
the work as handily as the oldest
weaver in the shop.
It was nearly noon before the
overseer again thought of Weeden's
looms, and then he went in search
of his second hand, working him-
self into a passion all the way down

Having given his order Mr. Av-,
ery turned to go back to his of-
fice, ting no reply; but his
adjutant detained him with a light
touch on the shoulder.
“Come down to Jack's bench,” he
said; “I want your opinion of the
weaver who is
work. I can't send her out, as
things are. If she goes, you must’
tell her so yourself.” i
The two men were accustomed to
stand by that particular bench for’
many of the conferences which the
work made necessary; so little
Annie Weeden did not know that
she was being observed. She stood!
with a shuttle in ner hand watch- |
ing the flying one in the loom nar-|
rowly. As it laid in the last thread
that it carried, she stepped on the |
frame of the loom, crove the shut-
tle that she held into its box, and
cal the empty one out of the.
warp in its flight across the web,
dropped back to the floor, where
she quietly removed the empty bob-
bin, and replaced it with a full one.
Then she turned to repeat the pro- |
cess as the filling ran out on the
other loom. This she did again and |
again, executing the series of mo- |
tions with incredible swiftness and
skill in the brief instant while she
balanced on the bar of the loom,
not being tall enough to do the
work standing on the floor,
The looms were thus kept busy
without losing a single beat till a
warp thread snapped or some other
accident occurred. If she had allow-
ed the loom to stop, changed the
shutties, and started it again. a
large fraction of time would have
been lost; and she would have got-

Annie's slight of hand trick of
changing her shuttles without stop-
ping the looms arrested Mr. Av- i
ery's attention at once. He stop-
ped grumbling about Weeden's in-
temperance and watched her with
interest. The looms were large and

on the kitchen table.

whispered. “Keep out of his way.
I'm never afraid of him till he be-

“I'll be careful, mammy; he won't

watched these evidences of renewed

hope trembling within her. There
was a possibility that her mother
might get well; nay, she felt sure of

with surprising strength, and shook
him so that his head waggled,
which punishment he submitted to
like a lamb.

Annie had spoken rapidly and in-
tensely, but she almost whispered
the words in her father's ear.
Weeden had made no effort to talk
to his wife, and he shrank visibly
when she again approached to draw
Annie away from him. He had the
popular repugnance and fear of the

NEW TEST WITH DEER
WILL GET SEX RATIO.
Game Commission Begins Experi-
ment to Settle Long Debated
Question.
Determined to learn the exact facts
'about what has been a much de-
| bated question the Game Commis-
sion has inaugurated a large breed-
ing experiment to determine the
proper sex ratio for whitetailed deer.
In a ten acre enclosure near Pine
Grove Furnace formerly known as
the “deer traps,” seven doe fawns
three yearling doe and one yearling
buck are now confined. About five
acres of adjoining woodland thick
with young sprouts of aspen will be
added to the enclosure after spring
opens.
Additional individual deer will be
added to the herd during the pres-
ent year, and probably still others
next year. Those in charge also may
make exchanges of deer from time
to time, as the progress of the ex-
periment may suggest.
The extent of the enclosure and
its location away from residences
where the deer will seldom see any-
one except the keeper provides a
setting for the experiment as nearly
'like the conditions of their life in
the wild as it is possible to secure,
Commission attaches believe.
Commision officials intend to con-
duct the experiment until the data
sought has been learned regardless
of the lengih of time necessary to
cstablish the actual facts. Atleast
live years and possibly ten may be
necessary.
The need for accurate data on the
proper ratio of the sexes to propa-
gate a strong, healthy race of deer
has been a much debated question
since Pennsylvania's deer herd has
become so large, At hearings held in-
cident to the open season for female
deer wide differences of opinion were |
registered by sportsmen and biolo- |
gists. The opinions were based large-
ly upon personal observation and
deduction of conditions in the wild
and not upon carefully conducted
| experiments.
The Pennsylvania Commission in
conducting the experimentis follow-
ing its policy of obtaining facts re-
gardless of how difficult the experi-
ments necessary, officials said. The
deer feeding experiments conducted
at State College were cited as an
instance of the best way in which |
to settle a controversial question.
In that experiment observers learn-
ed the results to deer when confined |
| solely to a diet of laurel and rhodo-
'dendron. It was known that the
‘plants were poisonous to domestic |
'hoofed animals, one third to one
per cent of the animal's
gross weight being a fatal dose. No

FARM NOTES
ACCREDITED DOES NOT ALWAYS
MEAN THE SAME
—In describing the quality of baby
chicks there are some terms which
have numerous meanings, according
to county agent, R. C. Blaney. The
word accredited has various mean-
ings in different States. If baby
chicks or hatching cggs come from
accredited flocks in Penna, New
Jersey, New York, and the New
England States, it means that the
breeding stock was tested for bacil-
lary white diarrhea and for the last
two successive years there was no-
tone reactor or of this dis-
ease in the breeding , In Ohio
other
does not apply that the birds have
been selected with a reasonable
amount of care for good egg pro-
duction, breed and variety charac-
teristics. Whenever buyers of baby
chicks see the word accredited, itis
well for them to note which State
these chicks came from and what the
term accredited means.

There is, in addition, a shortage

which cost $6.25: Flour, 48 pounds,
