I:
A LITTLE SONG OF LIFE.
Glad that I live, am I,
That the sky is blue;
Glad for the country lane
And the fall of dew.
After the iin the rain;
After the rain the aim;
This is the way of life,
Till the work be done.
All that we need to do,
He we low or high,
la to ace that we grow
Nearer the ky.

ABODE (RETIREDH.M.SJ
By Ollvt utMrldgi mil Genm ritzseraio.
Colonel Borem looked around a
pretty drawing room In Mayfalr ap
provingly. He next crossed to a mir
ror, squared hfs shoulders and twisted
up the ends of his gray mustache,
when the sudden opening of the door
caused. him to skip round with a haste
that somewhat marred his dignity.
Isohel Flowerdew held out her
hand. "It Is many years since we
Met," she said, pleasantly, "and I am
pleased to greet an old friend."
"I can only hope thnt time has
'dealt as kindly with me as with you,"
he replied.
"I think you are looking extremely
well."
Colonel Borem felt as though twen
ty years had slipped away, as he fol
lowed the slim figure Into the dining
room. Then he had been In love
with Isohel in love to the extent of
dancing and flirting and getting her
talked about, but the faint thoughts
he had cherished of marrying her had
never come to fruition. The truth
was that he could not bring himself
to give up the luxuries which, as mar
ried, he would have to deny him
self and, above all, the eclat of be
ing a bachelor, which to a vain man
Is so dear. Then, some years past,
Colenel Borem had retired. First of
mil he bad spent his time traveling
on the Continent, vague thoughts of
marital bliss with a rich widow in bis
mind, but though there were widows
and even girls ready to marry him
(or any man!), they were not of the
style that he considered worthy of the
honor of becoming his wife, and he
found, to his Infinite surprise and
pain, that the world is so full of
elderly, talkative, retired Service men
that .they are not a premium.
To-day, his first meeting with Iso
hel, he rejoiced in the fact that (after
many weeks of cautious thought) he
had decided to write to her. Evi
dently, since the old days she had
come into money, and Bhe was, if
possible, more charming now, with
her soft gray hair and low voice, than
In her buoyant youth.
Under the genial influence of an
excellently served lunch his feel
ings expanded to such an extent that
he resolved that at last he would ra'ise
Isobel to the enviable position of Mrs.
Borem.
Seated once more In the delightful
drawing room, he received a slight
ehock Isobel lit a cigarette! He de
cided he would break her of the ob
noxious habit at an early date, then
he cleared his throat and in a "few-well-chosen-words"
(bis view of it),
he offered her his heart and hand and
magnificent pension, plus cne hun
dred a year! The "few-we;i-chosen-wbrds"
took nearly twenty minutes to
say, and she sat in silence, until he
waxed eloquent on the advantages
she would derive.
. "Then you think that an unmar
ried woman is at a great disadvantage
In the world?"
"Undoubtedly, my dear Isobel, un
doubtedly there is a growing ten
dency in these days to exaggerate the
value of freedom. Ib a girl, men ex
cuss it, but when a wq-pian has
reached, ahem! a certain age, and is
not so shall we say so alluring to
the other sex, then it Is inclined to
savor of the legend of the fox and the
Crapes."
"Are you not Just a little se
vere?" murmured Miss Flowerdew.
"By no means. I only wish you to
realize your somewhat, ' ahem! un
enviable position, and to persuade you
to change it at an early date."
"I am truly sensible of the honor
you are doing me; would you mind
enumerating the drawbacks of the
single state for my edification?"
Colonel Borem cleared his throat.
"You run the risk of being called an
old maid."
"But there is no such thing now;
we are bachelor women."
"Odious word! Dear Isobel, you
grieve me. To continue. You become
narrow! for without the intellectual
companionship of a man, and his wide
views of life, a woman is bound to
become so, and to wither as a flower
without the 'Sun' You are amused
at something?" ,
"Not at all pray go on."
"You are of no importance, no
social standing, you have to walk in
to dinner behind the veriest chit of
a girl who has a husband, you have to
alt with your back to the horses iii
your friend's carriage, and you are
looked upon by everybody as a woman
who has failed in her quest in fact,
a complete and utter failure."
Miss Flowordew seemed somewhat
overcome, and her handkerchief was
much in evidence. Colonel Borem
patted her on the shoulder. ".Tliere
there, perhaps I have been a little
plain spoken, but it was tor our
welfare, believe me. Now let us
look on the other side of the picture."
Bis carefully waxed mustache brushed
her ear, vand a fresh paroxysm over-1
came MlBSFlowrdew. .
"There la nothing I should like to-f
heal mora," hel murmured.
' Colonel Borem drew his chair up
cloBe, and, fixing his eyes (somewhat
like boiled gooseberries) upon her,
began: "There is a little place I
know right In .the depths of the coun
try, with a garden to amuse you, and
good golf links for me. Then there
Is excellent fishing near."
"I'm afraid I don't know much
about fishing, but, of course, I could
learn."
"Ahem! Ahem! Certainly not.
Women always talk, and frighten the
fish. Of course, you could bring my
luncheon over to me, when not too
occupied with your er household
duties."
"Would they be very heavy?"
Colonel Borem made her a courtly
bow. "I am sure that you would be
far too good a manageress for them
to worry you; at the same time, owing
to the keeping up of two places, ex
penses would have to be cut down in
the way of servants, and a lot would
naturally fall on you."
"Two places! Should we keep this
flat on then?"
"No, far too expensive; merely my
chambers, where I can run up for any
new pieces at the theatres or my
club."
"I see; yes, but might 1 not find it
a little dull?"
Colionel Borem seemed pained at
the thought.
"I should have no objection," he
conceded, "to your occasionally, oc
casionally mind, having one of your
women friends to stay, but I am sure
no nice minded woman ever feels dull
when she has her house and her
duties and her husband to think of."
A tremor again shook Miss Flower
dew. "You have Indeed painted a picture
of matrimonial bliss. By the way,
what is your golf handicap?"
"My eh what?"
"Your golf handicap?"
"Ha! H'm! I have not, er
troubled to go In for the game seri
ously as yet."
Miss Flowerdew rose and crossed
to a table covered with sliver
trophies. "I am rather fond of it
here are juBt a few little things I
have won."
Colonel Borem patronizingly ex
amined the various championship
prizes. "Er very nice. You are evi
dently a good player. Myself, I am
not a believer in such violent exercise
for women; to my mind she never
looks so charming as at her husband's
fireside."
"Darning his socks and knitting his
golf stockings, I suppose."
Colonel Borem smiled approval.
"A truly womanly occupation. Now,
dear Isobel, I trust that I have plead
ed my cause, and you will not think
me vain, I know, when I tell you that
our engagement will come as a severe
blow to several er mutual friends;
in fact, if it had not been for your
constancy to myself, which is so ad
mirable, I might have been led to
choose a younger, if less charming,
bride!"
Miss Flowerdew rose and took a
chair opposite.
"I have certainly Bpent a most en
tertaining afternoon," she said, "and
having listened to your point of view,
should bo like you to hear mine.
You see, you have lived out of the
world (the London world) so lottg,
that your views are somewhat anti
quated. You make a great mistake
in thinking I am either dull or lonely.
I have an excellent time and crowds
of friends. I am perfectly free and
far better off than if I had an elderly,
querulous husband, who would bore
me to extinction and eventually turn
me into Ms nurse."
The colonel could scarcely believe
his ears; he sat speechless. Of course
the woman could not pe3slbly bo' re
ferring to htm.
"Your idea of the Single Woman In
Society is, believe me, an erroneous
une. She occupies a position entirely
her own, and which she has made for
herself during the last twenty years.
But there is a class, I regret to say,
of Single Men that are voted a
nuisance I mean the ever-increasing
crowd of retired Service men (I do
not refer to the many charming ex
ceptions, of course) wbo crowd the
clubs, are objectionable on the golf
links, go out to afternoon teas, talk
scandal, and tell long, prosy stories.
In two words, that truly awful per
son, the Army bore."
"Madame!" ejaculated the soldier.
Isobel smiled sweetly. "Please
take nothing to heart. I merely
wished to show you that it either of
us is to be pitied, it Is not I, for I
have my home which I love, and
many Interests, while you run the risk
of becoming one of those disagree
able, selfish old men whom we see
climbing the steps of the clubs at all
hours in the day, to take the best
chair, the middle of the fire anj sit on
all the newspapers."
The colonel was purple In the face.
"In fact, the only advantage I could
see that your generous offer held out,
was to be able to put Mrs. on my
tombstone."
The soldier reached for his hat.
"Do you mean to insult me?" he thun
dered. "Not at all merely a little plain
speaking, for your welfare; by the
way, there is one thing I regret, and
that is being unable to see you play
golf. Goodby. Good "

PIGEONS Wlft GREAT BATTLE.
Long ago there was a great battle
between Doge Dundolo of Venice and
the people of the Island ot Crete. The
Venetians won the battle because the
doge learned a great deal about the
enemy's plans, and this is how he did
it: Carrier pigeons were sent to him
with the Information written on tiny
scrdlls and tied to their feet. When
the victory was won other birds were
Bent back to Venice with the glad
news. From that time on the Vene
tians' have cared for all the pigeons
within their city. Until sixty years
ago the birds were fed at the public
expense. To-day it Is a great sight
to see thousands ot pigeons fly down
to be fed in the great square in front
of St. Mark's Church. There are so
many birds to be fed that they darken
the air as they fly in clouds in front
ot the church. Because every one is
so kind to these birds they have
grown so tame that they will alight
on the people's shoulders or hop into
their hands to feed upon the beans
and peas which are given to them.
Many people who visit Venice have
their pictures taken feeding these
pigeons In St. Mark's Square. Wash

A TRUE STORY OF A HORSE.
I want to tell you about a lovely
gray and white horso named Babe
we once had. Every morning, when
my father went to the barn to hornets
him, he would just go as far as the
watering trough, which was outside
of our kitchen door, and then refuse
to move until we gave him some lump
sugar.
I will tell you about an accident
which happened ene dark nlsbt. It
was about 7 o'clock and mother was
wondering what kept father, when
all ot a sudden we beard some ono
kick on tho door. We did not bother
at first because we thought it wai
father, but as the noise kept on
mother went out to see what the
trouble was. Just as she got outside
ot the door something smooth
brushed against her cock. Turning
he saw it was Babe, wbo had brushed
lii nose against her neck. lie looked
as it something was wrong. Mother
saidi "Where Is your master?" The
horse hung hjs' head; so we knew
something was wrong. After taking
the horse into the barn we went down
the road to see If anything had hap
pened to father. We had not gone
far when a wason came in sight.
Fatb.er was In it and called to us.
We got in and he told us nil about a
smash-up he had down the road. The
next morning we all went to see the
wreck, which was in front of a little
cottage. Our wagon was in pieces
and a wheel of another wagon was
there. The two wagons had run Into
eaph other. Father did not get hurt,
but it was a dreadful risk. Our horse
had come straight home to tell us.

GRASSHOPPER VANE.
Perched on tho cupola of Faneuil
Hall is a grasshopper weathervane,
which is not only one of the oldest
vanes in the country, but is famous
as the product ot ono of America's
earliest wood carvers and artisans,
Sbem Drowne, ot Boston. Drowne's
shop was on Ann street, in the North
End.
Of the many vanes ho made only
three are not known to be in exist
ence the one on the Shepherd Me
morial Church in Cambridge, which
formerly vas on the steeple of the
New Brick Church on Hanover street
in this city, and known as the "Re
venge vane;" the one In the collec
tion of the Massachusetts Historical
Society, a relic of the 'old BoBton
Province House; and the one on
Faneuil Hall.
This grasshopper of copper, ham
mered out by band, has large glassy
eyes, which in the sunlight shine like
fire. It was made in 1742 at the or
der of Peter Faneuil, when the hall,
his gift to the town, was Bearing
completion, and for tho past 167 years
it has been a landmark.
Ut has not, however, lived a life
of (unbroken peace, for several times
It had been near destruction. Ir
1755 when Boston was shaken by an
earthquake, the vane tell to the
nTTDADTllJCMT?
ground, but, after being supplied with
a new leg by the son ot the man who
made it, was replaced.
Five years later, Faneuil Hall was
seriously damaged by fire, but the
vane remained intact, and when the
hall was rebuilt the grasshopper was
once more given the place of honor.
Another disaster befell It when, in
1898, a flag was being raised to cele
brate the anniversary of the evacua
tion of the city by tho British, the
hopper hopped to tho street below.
But in a few days he hopped right
back asaln, and there it has remained
ever since with the etccptlon of nn
occasional removal for repairs. Bos

BIRD THAT WAS FORGOTTEN.
Ho was Mary Elizabeth's little bird,
and it was Mary Elizabeth who said
to him over and over, "Sing a happy
song, little bird."
In summer, while the cage hung
on the porch out doors, many a man
and woman smiled when they heard
the happy song of that little bird. In
winter sad looking friends who came
to call sometimes forgot the troubles
that made them sad when they heard
the wee pet's bubbling song. It did
seem as if that particular bird would
never bo forgotten.
There came a time, however, when
Mary Elizabeth went to Europe With
her father and mother. She couldn't
take the bird. A neighbor who bad
no cats offered to keep him until Mary
Elizabeth's return. Before the child
sailed she gavo her pet a bit of ad
vice: "Always sing a happy song, little
bird."
At first it was easy for the little bird
to sing a happy sons, but one day his
kind friend was obliged to leave town
for a week, and he was left with
strangers who promised to take good
care ot him.
"Always sing a happy eong, little
bird," were the last words the neigh
bor said at parting.
Soon after there was a children's
entertainment in the church to which
birds were invited. Mary Elizabeth's
pet was taken in his cage, and of all
the glad songs that day his was the
sweetest. He enjoyed the entertain
ment thoroughly, and, when night
camo, he tucked his head under his
wing and went to sleep without fear.
He didn't know, poor little fellow,
that the child who brought him lent
him to her dearest friend to take
home and keep for five days; neither
did he know that one by one the
birds wero taken from the church,
and ho was forgotten.
Next morning the little bird awoke,
sang a happy song, ate his breakfast
and sang a happy song. His cage was
In a pew where a little girl had left
him. The bird couldn't see the sun
shine streaming, through stained glass
windows, but, while waiting for his
bath he sang a happy song. No one
came to give tho little bird his bath,
so ha sang another happy song.
This Is the part of the story Mary
wnnhoth never liked to think of for
"a minute; qpw the little bird sang un
til his seed was gone ana tne waier in
his cap; how two days passed, and the
little fellow tucked his head under
his wing and knew that he was for
gotten. The third day the organist came to
practice on the pipe organ. The lit
tle bird lifted his head when muslo
pdalod through the church. He had
never heard anything like it bo
sweet, so solemn. When It was over
the weak little bird must have re
membered Mary Elizabeth's advice:
"Sing a happy song, llttlo bird."
As tV. organist was passing to the
outer d(?i"T she heard a happy song.
And Mary Elizabeth's pet was found
before it was too lato. The organist
had known Mary Elizabeth since she
was a baby, so of course she recog
nized the brave little bird, who was
never again forgotten.
Mary Elizabeth is a big irl in high
school now, but when she is discour
aged and everything seems-, to go
wrong, she remembers the advice she
used to give a wee canary. Frances

Rapid Motion of the Comet.
The comets whose periods are less
than one hundred years are called
periodic comets, and nearly half ot
them have been observed more than
once. At present they number forty
five, but only three ot them are re
trograde; that is, revolve tn their
orbits in the opposite direction to
the planets. Halley's comet is one of
those three, and as a result it will
pass us with a very rapid motion. At
that time the earth will be moving
in its orbit at a speed eighteen miles
a second, and the comet in nearly the
opposite direction at a speed of twenty-five
miles. The relative motion is
therefore about eight times that of a
cannon ball. From William H. Pick
ering's "The Return of Halley's Com

HANGING CLOTHES TO DRY.
When hanging clothes to dry flrBt
hang up by the thickest part waist
or neckband, etc. because It hung
by the thinner part the water Would
run Into the thick part, lodge there
and take longer to dry. Secondly,
hang up everything wrong side out

LAMP EXPLOSIONS.
Many of these may be prevented by
trimming the wick daily. When
burned for several evenings without
trimming, the wick becomes clogged
and black and Incapable ot supplying
the oil clearly and uniformly, and the
chimneys are sometimes filled with
flame and smoke, to the embarrass
ment, and alarm of those present.
Some explosions would be prevented
by never blowing out the lamp down
the chimney, for if the wick happens
to be too email, the flame may be
driven down into the oil. The beBt
way Is to turn it down with the button
until extinguished. Mrs. B. McDer
mott, In the Boston Post.
WASHING WOOL SKIRTS.
The wool skirts or children's
dresses can be carefully washed In
tepid water if naphtha soap is used.
Heat ruins wool and naphtha eeap
can be used in tepid or even cold
water. Wet the garment, rub all
spots with the soap, roll together and
leave for several hours. Wash and
rinse in the usual manner. Rinse
woolen articles in rain water or hy
drant water slightly softened with
ammonia or borax. Hang a skirt by
the band or it will dry crooked. Dry,
sprinkle and press on the wrong side
when possible; it on the right side put
a piece ot muslin between the iron
and the garment. Indianapolis

BURGLAR-PROOF DEVICE.
Said a housewife: "Our windows
are hung In the usual way, with ropes
and weights, and fastened together
only when shut. The particular win
dow for which I wanted this new
device is easy of access to outsiders
as it opens directly upon a piazza, yet
it must be open every night for need
ed ventilation. I did not wUh any
obstruction screwed to the casement,
as the windows need free and full
opening when they are washed, and
when fly screens are fitted during the
summer.
"Finally, I contrived this method:
Get from a hardware store nine
inches ct No. 12 jack chain and two
eyes for a brass hasp. Screw these
eyes, with the four provided screws,
to tho window nearly opposite each
other, one on the inside lower part
of the upper half, and the other on
the upper part of the lower half, just
as most fasteners are applied. Then
hook each end of the chain into an
eye, closing the link on the upper
saBh with the pincers, and leaving
the other end bo that the link fits
close but can be unhooked when you
wish.
With this device the window can
be raised about seven inches at the
bottom, or lowered seven inches from
the top, or it can be left open half
that distance both top and bottom.
It works like a charm." Indianapolis
