Bnglish sparrow, venturesome yet shrinking, I know thou wilt not trust thjselt too near; But, poising on one foot and softly blink ing. Thou seann'st my storo of crumbs as 1C In fear. Now with thy kindred's chiipiug congre gation, Like leaves before the north wind's sud den gust, Thou rlsest up ns If from earth'b pulsa tion, Thou tiny speck of animated dust! 1 hear thv twittering voice, but cannot llnd thee, 80 very dusky Is thy sober dicss, Thou hvpocrltlc Quaker. No ties bind thee To tieat thy feathered tnbo with kindli ness. See how, llko ciushed and vanquished Carthaginians, All birds are forced some other cllmo to seek! Never did Turk pmsuo oppressed Aime ntans With sword moro duel than thy sharp ened beak. And now. thy vengeful soul appeased by sloughter. Thou by some streamlet tak'st thy pious stand; Or, like true Alussutman, In dearth of water Pciformcst lapt ublutlons In tho sand. Now on a lily-pad which, gently Bwnlng, Dips to the water's edge thy downy w eight. I see theo In eestntlo utter playing And showering diamond dew.diops o'er thy mate. No human law debars thy visitation To gianlte cornice or to columned brass: Thou mak'st tho rugged Trcinsuiv of a nation Guy with a crown of nestling twigs and grass. And so thou art ubiquitous of motion; But all thy sinful antics wc forgive. Type of our loving cousins 'cross the ocean, In spite of ungrj threats wo lot theo live I -Joanna R.

She Is cautious nbout opening the front door nnd warns the cook not to allow any one to step Inside the kitchen without .1 cettlllcute of chat ncter In the shape of parcels from the giocery, ment market or laundry. She regards all persons with suspicion who pass In at the side gate and has taken to hiding her pin inonev In n new spot. The last time she found a perfectly lovely and safe place of concenlment. It was the bag commonly employed as a receptacle for the dust cloths and she put her savings well down In one cor ner beneath a nicely folded cheese cloth duster, while another useful ar ticle of the same species reposed on top, The next day it occuired to her handmaiden to wash that duster bag, which she proceeded to do to the In llnlte detriment ot the bills stowed away In tho coiner. There was enough left of them to be redeemable, but a new place of deposit has been secuied, where even the most keen scented tramp will be unable to detect their piesence. The housewife f.s also moie careful just now about locking the doois and fastening down nil the windows. To be sure she usually disco vera the next day that the pantry window has not only been unfastened, but vvldo open for some time and she realizes that any enterprising tiamp could get Into the cellar without dlillculty and from theie to the upper regions, but still she takes not a little satisfaction In the thought that extra piecautlons nto being used, as she slips another button hook be tween the two sashes In the thlid story side chamber, and Jabs her husband's pet penknife, which he has Inadvertent ly left on the chiffonier, over the attic, window. Then she goes down town to a meeting to consider the possibility of lidding herself ot one superlluous ait book, u'ld forgets to latch the hall door. Of course Dr. Crafts Is awny oft In his estimate. This Isn't a naughty city. There are no saloons open on Sunday, no gambling dens openly running em THE MAYO Paine's Celery Compound Never Fails to Invigorate Him When Worn Out. Alayor Ramsdell is again mayor of Lynn Two years nRo he was electethby the combined People's party, Democratic and Citizens' Reform party. He was agnbi nominated by acclamation by the Democints to succeed himself as mayor of the busy modem city, nnd was again elected by a lousing majority last month. Alayoi Rnmsdell's piesent high posi tion Is the legitimate lewurd of his ability and his feailessness In defend ing lis opinions. He has never hesi tated to electee his convictions In pub lic, nor has lie been slow to espouse the cause of the shoemakers nnd other wage earneis. In 1S01 lie was candi date of the People's putty for Congress. A haid workei, p conscientious olliclnl, Alajor Ramsdell has moie than once been pushed to the limit of his stiength. At such times of extieme nervous ten sion anil rvtivork, he hns saved him self fiom 1 caking t'lran by taking Paine's celciy compound. Alajor RnuisdeU'b honest opinion of this great remedy cannot be mistaken by nnv one v ho ncus his letter that lollows: that day. no clothing, junk stores, cigar und tobacco shops, boot black and other establishments advertising that they are not closed Sundav or nnv other day, but there are trnmps, ns the Hill people can testify It Is said there were almost no nricsts this week by tho police but it doesn't alter the fact that few olilceis stationed around In tha residence districts could make ai rests in the dny time with advantage to the city. Whether or not the weaiy Indlvid inls who arc so ill sturred as to be run in nt nlslit nre released from the po lice station In the moinlng with the understanding that thev are to forage on the community foi their meals. It Is certubr that a squad of them will be seen to scatter and appeal at residen ces neatly every moinlng. It Isn't a pleasant task to turn a hungry man fiom one's door unfed. The aveiage woman mnv hnve excellent Ideas on the subject and mny thor oughly .disapprove of feeding n tramp but she Is lather prone to see to It that he geta a wuim bieakfust. How ever the unprecedented visitation of these nuisances lately hns been the cause of hardening her heait. The boldness of their demands, their Impu dence nnd evident thievish tendencies have nlaimed her nnd she' Is now ready to unltp with the cook In refusing their requests for It is seldom Indeed that the kitchen divinity does not regard the tramp with coldness and aveislon and with an ill concealed desire to greet him with a thwack of the broom stick. One of the featuies In the landscape fronting a country house near Hauls burg Is an Immense placard the size of a door, announcing "Look out. Cross Dog." It Isn't nt all likely that theie Is any dog on the premises but that sign bears a v ery ominous look and doubtless has ftowned away many n tramp. The scheme is recommended to Scrantonlans. A big placard set in among their favoilte greens that hide the desolation of winter about their verandas might be effective. The only other bug-n-boo likely to appeal to the imagination of a tinmp is the name of Airs. Duggau. Utter that to your unwelcome vlsitoi and he will quickly disappear. One housewife wh'o could never hcte tofore listen unmoved to the talo of wee from the tiamp has grown so In different lately, because of Its frequent repetition, that she allows short audi ence. The other morning she chased off with contumely and reproaches a man with a smudgy face who Insisted t n spcnKing with her at the door. After a time her husband telephoned to In quire vvhut she meant b dilving away the plumber that he had sent to repair the hot water boiler, whose contents wns Hooding tho kitchen After the manner of plumbers, ho had appealed without any visible evidences of his calling besides the nforesaid smudge, expecting to make another little trip back to tho slup for tools, and dlie was so determined that he must be a tiamp that she had listened to no explana tions. The plumber, much mystified, had gone dow n mid complained bitter ly to the head of the house, and tho matter was thus udjusted, Books have been written about tramps, Magazlno articles with ex pensive Illustrations, havo told of their vaarailes nnd habits, Great men lravu OF UM Wells' & Richardson Co., Burlington, Vt. Gentlemen: A previous expcilenco with Paine's celery compound, as a ic- storer of exhausted energy, Induced mo recently to take It again, tho many duties of the mayor's olllce having tned my .slight physical icsourccs greatly.

Wood piles have been prepared for them and still remain undiminished In tho back vnid, but in nil tills Uteratuip and labor with refeience to the tramp, I don't recollect ever having heard cr lead an explanation as to why theie nie no old tiamps. They nie all young, gcaeiallv under thirty; seldom moro than forty. No one ever sees- an old-man tramp unless an umbrella mender or the "soldier tf 1S12" with a decrepit hand-organ and a tin cup. If the tramp could make up as nn old man It would be a great caul, par ticularly if he could have long silvered locks, look benign and possess a littles cough. Everybody would take him In the kitchen und coddle him. He would get milk toast and coffee, with lots of cream. Ho would be sympathized over nnd sent on with a reinforcement ot warm ilannels and a bottle of patent cough medicine. But there aien't any old tramus. They nre all disgustingly young and healthy with red noses. What becomes of them when old'' Do they marry rich single women who have been Inter ested In their sad fate, and then re form, settle down and live dull nnd re spectable lives?
