LIVING THEM OVER.
In spite of late events and songs
With which our lives are crowded,
‘Where is the man who e’er forgets
The stunt the nimble cow did,
The tale of which he listened to
When just a little shaver,
And did repeat in childish tone
With happy thrill and quaver?
They're more to us, those old songs are
We listened to while sweeping
Adown the stream of Rockaby
Into the land of Sleepihg,
Than any newer, later songs
The sons of Genius bring us,
Than any songs of any thing
The grandest singers sing us.
We who have wandered far afield
With sweet Bo Peep a-hunting,
We who have gathered rabbit skins
To wrap up Baby Bunting,
ave sacred chambers in our souls
For the malt house Jack builded,
And wander there along old ways
The suns of childhood gilded.
Where Jack the Giant Killer did
His mighty deeds of daring
At bedtime we drop off our years
And often go a-faring,
And we are gladder in those ways
By gnomes and giants haunted
Than we have been in all the years
Since we were disenchanted.
We watch the beggars come to town,
And hark the dog a-barking,
The tunes of Tom the Piper's Son
Full oft reward our harking,
With Mistress Mary quite contrary
We watch cowslips growing,
And the cow with the crumpled horn
Across the fields comes lowing.
Jack climbs the beanstalk as of old
Soon as his bean is planted,
And chases giants as of old
Through vasty halls enchanted;
We ride adown the paths of night
The steed of Mother Goose's—
Ah, they are fancies sweet and old
That sleepy-time unlooses!
Ah, heroes of our baby days!
And tales of what befell them!
We. take our babies on our knees
And sing to them, and tel them :
‘The sweet old tales, to them all new,
The sweet. songs all new to them,
And, hand in hand with them, seek paths
We knew and ramble through them.

Billy's Report
‘When Billy’s report for the month
was handed to him he thrust it into his
pocket without a glance, being satis-
fied from past experience that there
was that upon it which would give him
a bad quarter of an hour.
Rapidly through his mind went the
possibilities of what his punishment
at home would be this time. Of one
thing he was certain—he would not
be kept in on Saturday. I suppose his
mother had said the last time that she |
didn’t see why she should also be pun-
ished for his bad reports. at school.
Suddenly a cold fear seized him. If
the array of red “poors” was unusually
large his father might make him give
up his beloved bull pup. If he could
only defer the showing of the card un-
til he had taught Spotty to stand on
his hind legs without being held up
all the time the sight of so much tal-
ent might save the pup.
He thought of losing the card for a
day or two, but remembering the un-
happy fate of Johnny Hughes, who
tried that plan only to have his father
dragged from work to be told more
emphatically of his deficiencies than
the card would have told, he concluded
not to do so. Such was his desperation
that he almost resolved to learn his
lessons thenceforth.
‘When he reached home that even-
ing his sister Victoria’s card, bearing
one “excellent” to which she ostenta-
tiously called the attention of the fam-
ily several times, had been signed and
delivered and her 5 cents reward had
been carefully tied up in her handker-
chief. !
“Walk up, kid, and get it over with,”
said Jack, the 16-year-old brother, with
a grin. “Don’t pretend that you can't
find it,” as Billy fumbled in his pock-
et, “because it won't go. ‘Lizabeth told
Vicky all about it. What did she say,
Vicky ?”?
“Said she’s be ashamed if her broth-
er had a card full of red ‘poors,” and
that you were a stupid,” announced
Victoria.
Billy, too miserable to say anything,
put the card on the table as far from
his father as possible, and was com-
manded to pick it up and hand it over
like a gentleman. With an air of
knowing ..only too well what it con-
tained his' father opened the envel-
ope, looked at the card, looked at it
again, scrutinized the name at the top,
and then—was the day of miracles
conie back —smiled. ee i
“Well, son; you were trying to fool
us were you? Just look, mother! Full
of nepente let me see how many
—six, if you please. Ill be bankrupt
with ‘two such” smart children. Will
you give me- six for a quarter, Billy?”
“Sure,” ‘said Billy, wondering when
he would wake up. 2
“Well, 1 guess no; I think I'll pay
my ‘excellent’ debts if I have to do
without cigars.’
iGee!” said ‘Jack, examining the
card. “I never got a report like that
and I wasn’t so worse. You must
have sprained your brain, kid. I'll tell
you what we’ll do to celebrate; we'll
go and get one of the sweater vests
that you are so wild about.”
“I'd rather have a collar for Spotty,”
said Billy, eagerly. “One of the kind
full of nails that makes him look like
a fighter.”
“Pll see to the collar,” said his
mother, beaming with pride.
For the first time in his short life
Billy began to study his history lesson
without any proddings from his moth-
er or threats from his father. With a
very much injured air he wanted to
know “how a kid could learn his les-
sons and get ‘E's’ when Vicky and
Spot were making so much noise.”
“I'd give a good deal to know what
has made that young imp of a William
turn into such an angel child,” said
Billy's teacher to her neighbor at
school. “I didn’t know it was in him.
Sometimes he seems 80 modest and
retiring and smiles at me in such a
secret way that I have the feeling that
plot.”
At the end cf the month when she
took up Billy's card and saw the full |
array of “excellents’ she had an illum- |
ination.
“I hate to do it,” she said to her :
neighbor, sitting with eraser poised
over the card, “I really think these
marks have been the making of him.
My eye must have slipped last month.”
‘I'm glad I haven't got to solve the
problem,” said the other teacher
laughing. -
Billy's card went home unchanged,
with a small footnote to the effect that
a blunder had been made last month,
but that Billy was everything that
could he desired this month and the
teacher was proud of him.—Chicago

WHERE WE LOSE BUSINESS.
Foreigners Like American Goods, but
Not Smashed.
It is an old story that = American
merchants are losing annually hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars worth of
trade with foreign countries because
sthey pack their goods so carelessly.
But the complaints seem to have little
effect. At any rate they keep on com-
ing.
An American occupying an import-
ant post on a railroad in Colombia
writes to American Industries:
“I have seen lantern globes packed
in a barrel with iron bolts and panes
of glass 26 by 30 inch sent without
sufficient layers of straw to prevent
breakage. As an example we received
120 car window glass (panes) of which
but six reached us intact, and this from
the United States. :
“Six steam gauges (indicators) pack-
ed with iron bolts in one end of the
box reached us utterly jammed - to
pieces. Pianos are rolled over and
on to steamboats and up steep banks
on to steamboats and up steep manks
in unloading, and not even a shotgun
would prevent the wild Indian steve-
dore here from throwing from his
shoulders to the ground a box of costly
chinaware or glass vases.
“To reach Bogota, the capital, some
700 miles from the coast, goods after
their 300 miles of ocean journey have
to pass over a railway at the coast,
then by a steamboat, then by another
short railway, another steamboat in
the upper, Magdalena river, then an-
other railway, and finally upon pack
animals for a two or three days jour-
ney and then by another railway. You
may say this would break irom. ' It
does. 5
“The European merchant or manu-
facturer besides granting long time
credit also packs very securely in his
effort to secure trade in South Ameri-
ca, and so gains much trade, even
though American goods are considered
greatly superior in most cases.”
Queer Use for Old Hats. :
“Oh, yes, I am always in the market
for second hand derbies and silk hats.
They sell better than anything else.”
The old clothes dealer pointed to a
room filled with shocking hats.
“There’s not half enough there to
meet my demand,” he said. “If you
was to bring me a carload of old hats
this morning I'd take ’em all.”
“You bet there’s a demand. Espe-
cially among old maids and widows
that live alone. They buy these hats
and hang a couple on the hall rack.
Then, when a beggar or tramp gets
too rambunctious at the door, they
turn and say: .°% oi
“ ‘George is home. That’s his hat.
George! Oh, George! Will you come
down here and "turn this rascal
away? * >
“Then the tramp sneaks, thinking
there’s a man in the house,
“Restaurants, when they open up
new stands, generally lay in 25 or 80
hats. They hang them in the lobby to
make people think business ig brisk.”
—Philadelphia Bulletin.
Absent-Minded at Barber's.
“You see a lot of absent minded men
around a barbershop,” remarked the
barber with the bristly hair, as he
shoved one more little gob of later in-
to the customer’s mouth. “You'd be
surprised at the number of people who
come in here and make preparations to
go to bed,” he continued, “No, they
don’t take this place for a hotel. It.
ain’t that. Here’s how it happens: A
man will come in and take off his coat
and collar and necktie preparatory to
getting shaved or having his hair cut.
Then when he sees himself in the glass
he looks so much like a man about to
retire for the night that about half the
time he will go ahead and wind his
watch.' A few of the more absent-mind-
ed ones may start to undo their sus-
penders before they are reminded that
they aren’t going to bed at all. But
scores of them wind their watches, just
as they do at night. That much of it is
a common occurrence.”—New York

COLLEGE TO PATENT OFFICE.
Commissioner Says the Latter Is a
Post-Graduate School.
College men by the score finish up
their education in the patent office at
Washington, according to the commis
sioner of patents. In an article in
American Industries the commission-
er calls his department a post-gradu-
ate school.
“The examiners in the patent of-
fice,” says the commissioner, “are all
graduate of colleges, and 90 percent of
them have been graduated in general
With office experi-
ence they become invaluable in the
service, but after almost three years
of experience in the patent office,
when they are most valuable ‘in its
work, they resign and accept outside
positions. © Thus this office has be-
come a post-graduate school for the
technical and legal education of
young college men who enter its ser-
vice.
“The General Electric company has
in its patent department at least
twelve men formerly examiners in
this office, and other corporations
have taken hundreds. Out of a corps
of 300 examiners 135 have resigned
from the Patent Office within a period
of less than five years. It is only
necessary to remark that the salaries
paid principal examiners in this ser-
vice are the same today as when they
were fixed in 1848.
“Patents in the craft of telegraphy
were scrutinized by three examiners,
whose progress in their task was inter-
rupted by their successive resignations
; 50 that the net result was that $3200
was paid for the acquirement of the
knowledge of this art, only to have
that knowledge lost to this “office
through resignations because of insuf-
ficient salaries. The same thing is oc-
curring to a greater or less extent in
all of the forty-one examining divis-
lons.” LR a

sion of these several attempts. to
murder the heads of nations, one of
which was successful, seems to point
to the prevalance of an assassination
wave. It is a bad symptom. Nor is
there anything in common in the
countries where the outbreak’ of an-

peared to indicate a basis for griev-
ance against government. .
The apparently insane man who
made an attack upon the palace of
Sweden’s monarch, sending a fusilade
of bulletts through the windows of
the edifice, from which the royal oc-
cupants happened to be absent, may
or may not have been fed upon the
pabulum that makes anarchists. But
it is safe to assert that about every
other person who commits such deeds
is unbalanced, whether or not he be
a member of an assassination order.
The psychologists say that sugges-
tion accounts for the various kinds of

Chief Causes of Coal-mine Disasters.
A French expert, M. Taffanel, who
recently investigated for his govern-
ment the conditions under which coal
is mined in this country, says in his
report that the most elementary ap-
paratus for, safeguarding life were
unknown in the Monongah mine in
Pennsylvania, where about 400 min-
ers were killed by an explosion, and
that in general the precautions taken
in American coal mines are far infer-
ior to those adopted in France. He
condemns especially the unprotected
miner’s lamp; the primitive methods
of blasting (filling drilled holes in
the coal with black powder, charging
them with cartridges made by the
miners themselves, and then setting
off the charge); the failure to sprinkle
the coal dust to lessen the danger of
its explosion; and the careless hand-
ling of dynamite, which the miners
carry in.their pockets. He believes
that the Monogah disaster was caused
by a short-circuit, or .by a miner’s
lamp igniting the dust-laden air.—

Canadian Pacific's Coal Mines,
The Canadian Pacific railway com-
pany is spending between $10,000,000
and $20,000,000 in sinking shafts and
erecting machinery at Hosmer on the
Crow’s Nest pass line through - the
Rocky mountains, to develop its great
coal property there. The first mine to
be opened will start next January,
with a production of 3000 tons a day,
most of which the company will use,
according to the engineer who is sup-
erintending the work. The company is
erecting cottages for its miners, and

Supreme Court Changes. ?
The president of the United States
may be an uncrowned king, but there
is a power even greater than his, and
that is the power of the Supreme
Court of the United States. Within
the term of the next presidency
there will in all probability be four
vacancies in the supreme court
which will be filled by appointment
by the president, and these appoint-
aents will in a large measure deter-
mine the future bias of the highest
judicial body in the country. There
are nine members of the supreme
court and their average age is 64,
four of them being 70 years and over.
The youngest member, Judge Moody,
who was appointed in 1906,
is 55. Three of these members
have been appointed by Roosevelt
during the last six years, but owing
to the great age of several of the
members of the court it seems likely
that within the next presidential term:
the rather unusual number of four
vacancies will occur. Therefore, the
next presidential election will de-
termine not only who shall fill -the
highest executive office in the land,
but will also determine the political
and economic bent of the supreme
court.—Wall Stree Journal. >
Frest on the Moon.
Changes on the moon's surface,
especially near the crater Linnaeus,
are now recognized by Pickering,
Barnard and others. - It is concluded
that the diminution’ of a“ white patch
must be a melting of hoar frost at
sunrise and that the deposition and
melting of frost must be taking place
in other parts of the moon.

Brain and Nerves Restored by Grape-
Nuts Food.
The number of persons whose ail- :
ments were such that no other food
could be retained at all, is large and
reports are on the increase.
“For twelve years I suffered from
dyspepsia, finding no food that did
not distress me,” writes a Wisconsin
lady. “I was reduced from 145 to
90 1Ibs., gradually growing weaker
until I could leave my bed only a
short while at a time, and became un-
able to speak aloud.
. “Three years ago I was attracted
by an article on Grape-Nuts and de-
cided to try it.
“My stomach was so weak I could
not take cream, but I used Grape-
Nuts with milk and lime water. It
helped me from the first, building up
my system in a manner most aston-
ishing to the friends who had thought
my recovery impossible. :
“Soon I was able to take Grape-
Nuts and cream for breakfast, and
lunch at night, with an egg and
Grape-Nuts for dinner.
“I am now able to eat fruit, meat
and nearly all vegetables for dinner
but fondly continue Grape-Nuts for
breakfast and supper.
“At the time of beginning Grape-
Nuts I could scarcely speak a sentence
without changing words around or
‘talking crooked’ in some way, but my
brain and nerves have become so
strengthened that I no longer have
that trouble.” “There's a Reason.”
