makxi ready for the days business when dedraggled thinlyclad woman entered carrying a little bundle wrapped in a ehawl i want you to take my baby she said apathetically thla isnt the place to brln your baby you should take it up to the hospital beyond here said jackson kindly no said the woman my baby la jiot sick shes dead then oba un folded the shawl and showed the childs face so wan and pinched that it was plain the baby had died of starvation i havent got any money to pay for a burying the mother continued but i did want to have her burled christ ionlike cause shes all the one i ever had after hugging the little bundle to her breast for a moment she laid it gently down on one of the bencbes then covering her face with her hands she leaned against the wall anot sob bed as if the pentup grief of a life time was finding vent jackson led her to a chair and waited trying in his wellmeant clumsy way to comfort her after a while her cobs subsided sufficiently to permit her to apeak and little by little the woman told her pitiful story jackson had beard it again bind again with infinite variations and from persons of various nationalities but he lent a sympathetic- ear to- the old tale of a husband out of work of successive visits to the pawnmop until the house was stripped and tho laatcopper spent for food then the street with nothing hut the ragged old shawl to protect the baby from a freezing temperature and a anow- storm and finally the babys death if she could only have been burled christianlike the mother sobbed again jackson mentally figured the cost of a coffin and then reckoned his own slender resources he knew be could not afford it but his eye wondering into the next room chanced to rest upon one of the plain little rough plno boxes which the city furnished tor cases like this somehow he could not bring himself to show the mother the boxes and so he put on nisi hat and stepped over to the undertakers there he picked out a small white coffin and paid for it the undertakers man came over and ttrrrngftdnhodotaiufheelinple funeral and he too was very kind and gentle and that afternoon tho poor starved little body was buried aa the mother wished christian like it was only an incident a mere eddy in the mighty tide of metropoli tan life but it brought up golden sand from a mine which even the op timist would hardly hove suspected- s very one knows tho preal denttal election of 1876 was bitterly disputed in maine that year thero was much angry campaign talk the ku klux is secretly organis ing the old soldiers declared thero will soon too civil war again we want an old ooldlek for president llko gen eral grant oh no cried other l republicans we have had soldier presidents long enough we want a statesman like jamas g blaine no not crlod the democrats the country is rushing to destruction re form is needed give us a shrewd financier like jsamuel j tllden uncle solon chase was driving his steers and a hayrack through the rural dlatrlcte making speeches to tho farmers from tho cart in tho afternoon and at schoolhouscs in the evenings tho cause of the hard times uncle solqn told the farmers wan harjl money look at them steers he cried them steers is four years old lyo fed am well they girt eixfootelx but darst it all they aint worth a cent more now than when they wis yearlins not a cent why is that til tell ye- theres too much hog in the rich mans dollar nowdnys hard money thats what allsouv what wo want is more greenbacks more green backs then times will be easy again uncle solon expressed the general discontent everything even dumb animals appeared to go wrong that season at the old squires wo had a dairy herd of twenty- two jerseys in sep tember every cow of the herd began giving bitter milk so bitter that tho cream was effected and the butter was spoiled yet the pasture was excellent and consisted of sweet uplands fringed round with sugar maples oaks and beeches where tho cleared land ex tended up the hillsides into the hol ders of tho great woods for some time we were wholly at a loss to know what caused all those cows to givo bitter milk a strange freak also manifested it self in our other herd that fall first one of our black dutch belted heifers and then several others took to gnaw ing the baric from young trees in their pasture and along tho lane to the barn before we noticed what they were doing the bark from twenty or thirty young maples elms and other trees had been gnawed and stripped off as high as the heifers could reach it was pot from lack offood there was grass enough in the pasture and pro vender and hay at tho barn but an abnormal appetite had beset them they would even pull off tho tough bark of the cedars in the sftramp by tho brook and stand for hours trying to masti cate long stringy strips of it in consequence probably of eating so much indigestible bark first one then another was unable to raise her food for rumination at night and as cattle roust ruminate we soon had several sick animals to care for in susb cases if the animal can only bo started chewing an artificially pre pared cud she will often on swallowing it raise again and rumination thus started will proceed once more and the congestion win be relieved for a week or more we wero kept busy night and morning furnishing the barkeaters with cuds prepared from the macerated inner bark of tho sweet elder impregnated with rennet these had to be put in the mouths of the cowsoy main forxe and held there till from force of habit the animal began chewing swallowing and fals ing again what was stranger this unnatural appetite for gnawing bark was not wholly confined to cows that fall the put in tle orchard too dldate at the national gieonback con vcntlon of 1880 willis

under tho influence- of love betrayed none of the tradition- all backing and filling propensities cf lovers having once yielded to his ten der inclination for miss thompson tho lady ho made his wife he found his way to her heart with charactoriltlo directness and originality miss thompson visited occasionally at the house of mr olney one of spurgeons valued deacons and was induced to hear spurgeon preach his sermon had a decided effect upon her she accepted his views of christianity and declared her new convictions to the olney family who were warmly at tached to the young preacher mr olney doubtless told the new pastor about miss thompson for mo day she received an illustrated copy of the pilgrims progress with thus inscription miss thompson with desires for hot progress in the blessed pilgrimage- from charles h spurgeon april 20 1864 friendship between the two grew rapidly from this beginning at the opening- of the crystal palace tnoy were present they occupied some raised beats at the end of the palace and aa they sat there talking bush ing and amusing themselves an best x they could while waiting for the nro- cession to pass by mr spurgeon handed the young lady a book with which he had been occasionally dip ping and pointing to some particular lines said what do you think of the poets suggestion in these verses the volume was martin tupper s proverbial philosophy the point ing finger guided har eyes to the chapter on marriage then mr spur geon asked do you pray for him who is to be your husband the question did not receive any vocal reply but tho jadys flushed cheek and her downcast eyes which fearod to reveal the light which x once dawned in them may have spoken a language which love understood for that moment a very quiet and auto dued little maiden sat by tho young pastors side during their engagement spurgeoi wrote so mo charming loveletters to tho lady of his choice then after a while he gave her another book and wrote this quaint quibble in if in a few days it will be out of ray power to present anything to wm thompson lt this be a remembrance of our happy meetings and sweet con versotlons dec 22 1855 c hi the marriage took place january 8 1850 and the notice in the spurgeon bible written by spurgeon reads charles haddpn spurgeon and sus annah thompson were by the gracious arrangement of divine providence most happily married at new park street chapel by dr alexander fletch er on tuesday jan 8 1856 and as years roll after year bach to other still more dear gnawing appletrees and spoiled several valuable sweetings and gra- vensteins before the damage wosdls covered wan it an off year and did every living creature require a tonic the bitter milk proved tho most difficult problem it was a serious one at a farm where four hundredweight of cream bad to bo churned weekly no bitter weed or fou grass grew in the pasture the herd had grazed in it for years nothing of tho sort had been noticed before tho village apothecary who styled himself a chemist was asked to givo an opinion on a specimen of the cream but he failed to throw much light upon the subject there seems to be tannic acid in this milk he said jthja day the day we took tho orsam to the apothecary willis burch and i stopped at tho vlllago to attend a republican mass meeting and hear james g blaine apeak on the present dangers of the republic thomas b redd who had lately en tered on his political career also ad dressed the meeting bu it was blaine who impressed us his manner was magnetic his personal appearance fine and commanding his language eloquept and convincing he spoke tor firm government the repression of treasonable nets he advocated new treaties with foreign nations and sound money election was approaching at the other end of the village thero was a democratic rally after listening to mr blaines speech willis and i drove to hear what the other side was say ing and got there in the midst of a powerful address by honorable mr dorshelmer o new york ho was denouncing chinese immigration and after that ho went on to arraign in talnt fair them rich fellows in new york and them qilway men that la running things down at washington have got us down tls tlmo wo got up and did something about it tis time them chaps down there hoard tho tramp of formers cowhide boots comtn to inquire about this and theyll soon bo hcnrlh em they soon will hear tho tramp o them old cow hides from maine to texas s over in our town wo have got big stone mortar it will hold a bushel of corn ween tho first settlers came there and planted a crop they didn t have any gristmill so they got to gether and made that ere mortar out of a block of granite they pecked that big deep hole in it with a hammer and a handdrllj that holos moren two feet deep but they pecked it out and they mnde a big stone pestle nearly as heavy ns a man could lift to pound their corn they used to haul thatmortar and pestle round from one log houso to another and pound all their corn- mcal in it now dye know what i would do if i was president id get out that old mortar and pestle and id put nil tho hard money in this country in it all the rich mans hard money and id pound it all up fine id make meal ont and what would you do with the meal cried some one uncle solon banged his fist on the desk id make greenbacks ont he shouted and then thero was great ap plause that solution of the- financial prob lem sounded simple enough and yet it was not as clear ns it might have been undo solon went on to picture what a bright day would dawn if only the national government would bo reason able and issue plenty of greenbacks and when he had finished his apeech he invited every one who waa in doubt or had anything on his mind to ask questions ask me everything you want to he cried ask me anything that is troubling your mind and ill answer if i can and the best i can there was somothlng about uncle solon which naturally invited confi dence and for fully half an hour the people asked questions to all of which ho roplled ofter his quaint honest cash ion you might ask him what makes cows give bitter milk willis whis pered to me and laughed hes un old former i should like to said i but i had no thoughts of doing so whon sud denly willis spoke up uncle solon there is a young fel low who would like to ask you what makes his cows givo hitter milk this fall but he is bashful haw haw laughed uncle solon wal now he neednt bo bashful with me for llkes not i can tell him llkes not tis the bitterness in the hearts o people thats got into the dumb crit ters upcle solons eyes twinkled and ho laughed as did everybody else or llkes not ho went on rt something the critters has et should nt wonder ef was what kind of a ho used to imry them egga in tho gui don and all

laid that egg where 1 krtew spot would flnrtrt ho found it and about three min utes after that i saw him going to the hrook in a hurry he had quite i tlrno ont sloshln wdlu cool in his mouth nnd i never know him to touch an cge afterwards but i see maam that you havo got quite a robust prejudice again t cayenne it isnt such bad stuff after all ita fiery but it never doos any permnnont hnrm its

shouldnt wonder a mite ef your cows had taken to eatln them oak acorns critters will sometimes mine did once fust one will take it up and then the rest will f oiler an approving chuckle at uncle so lons sagacity ran around and some one asked what could be done in such a caso to stop the cows from eating the acorns wal ill tell you what i did said uncle solon hia homely face pucker ing in a reminiscent smile i went out airly in tho mornln beforet turned my cows to parster and picked up the acorns under tho oakecs i sot down on a rock took a hammer and cracked em bout half way open at thd butt end with my lefthand thumb and forefinger i held tho crack ed acorn by- squeeslpg it nnfl with my right i dropped a pinch o cayonn pepper into each acorn and let em closo up again it took me as much as an hour to fix up all them acorns then i laid them in little piles round under the trees and turned out my cows thoy started for the oaks the fust thing for they had got a habit of going there as soon as they were turned to parster in tho morning i stood by tho bars and watched to see what would hap pen here a still broader smile over spread uncle solons face within ten minutes i saw all them cows going lickctybpllt for the brook on the lower side o the parater and some of em were in such a hurry that they a great improvement has become marked in new school buildings no expense has been spared to make many of them beautiful in appearanco and thorough lh equipment but what about the grounds not a tree not shrub not a wlnddwboxevon is visible in the bare barren grounds of most of our schools rural schools are usually absolutely devoid of trees and shrubs surely in these days ot higher education the study of flowers should not be overlooked and how could they be taught better than to lay out the school grounds with trees and shrubs and develop in the chil dren a love for the beautiful in nature children taught in a school which boasts a garden of bright flowers will never forget tho imprint of that pic ture in the impresslblo age but will learn to love flowers so that they will feel the need of them in later years and their homes will be bowers of beauty in almost everyone thero is a love of tho beautiful and the time to encourago it and develop it is in the early days school children may study botany but it will not teach them to lovo flowers nor give them a desiro to beautify their homes in later years as the remembrance of tho pic ture in their minds of a school grounds well aid out with trees and shrubs and flowers will do children brought up in touchw tho soul of a garden with its bees sipping honey its gay butterflies flit ting here and there with its birds and bright flowers seem to grow up a little different from children de prived ot such interest john bur roughs did not jenrn to love nature study in school he learned the secrets of birds and squirrels by watching their habits he would sit by the hour watching them build their nests most children know that the camel can go for weeks wlthffut water but how many know vtant the garden toad doesnt drink at all that ho absorbs moisture thiough his body so it is with floweia to know them one must be with them watch them smell them touch them and love them and there are splendid opportunities for doing this by transforming the bare un- cared for achool jrrounds into placaa of interest nnd beauty it is said that among the criminals in our prisons that there aro few who have learned to tovtttiowcni perhaps they would not have bean thero had they been taught when young to ace the beautiful in pods handiwork by jeanetto leader for ontario horticultural ab- clatlop meet the situation they also dlslilco tho idea of paying cash to get control of tho rates and would rather prefer somo other means of reaching that end however if no other means is available they will support the govern ment plan destructive but not constructive criticism aa to tho conservatives mr melghen and his followers wero very hitter in their criticism of tho governments contract with slrjwluiam petersen but they offeredhoother constructive remedy thejrdeclared their opinion that tho plan was futile illconsidered and not worthy of consideration of the house thoy wanted the matter to bo referred to thd imperial shipping com mittee which meant practically noth ing would bo dono to disturb-

obliged to gb back to 189c and other remote years 4n which to rnko up something to ay all of this as was pointed out by lib eral spcakera was a way of evading the real issue immigration depends on rates an important statement was mado by tho prime minister on march 17 tn concluding his speech which lasted four hours i would like to point out ho said that tho governments policy with respect to thd reduction of ocoan rates is only part of tho larger policy which tho government has in viow we aro desirous of developing tho production of our basic industries wo have sought to relievo tho capital that is essential to tho devolopmont of those industries from somo of the taxation to which it has been subject ed wo have been endeavoring to develop a vigorous immigration policy but

wihh said to me aa we drove homo in tho late september twilight i agreed with him i could not help feeling blue over the fate of the ooun- try thought of that mysterious tan- lic acid in our milk were troub- ing me too for 1 was now trying as touch as i could to take tho burdsn of the farm off the old squires shoul ders when we drew near home we- saw lights at a schoolhouse in the district next below our own and heard some one speaking in a highpitched voice there was a good deal of applause and laughter hello uncle solon chaae has got around here with them steers 1 ex claimed willis lets atop and hear what he haw to nay willis suggested wo want to hear all aides you know we tied our horse to tho fence aritt finally succeeded in pushing our way into tho flchoolbouse tjscle solon stood at the teachers desk and was talking in hi quaint homely way a lean man in farmers sgarb with a kind of abraham lincoln xsoe honest but humorbus droll yet practical a face afterwards well known from maine to iowa jh same unci bolon chase who afterwards received elghtyntuo votes as presidential can- the air ef you believe it uncle solon concludod not one of them cows ech6d an oak acorn afterwards another laugh went round but an interruption ocpurred a good lady from the city who yas spending the summer at a fnrmhpuae near by rose in indignation and made herself heard i think that was a very cruej hlng to do she cried i think it was shameful to treat your animals so wal now maam im glad you spoke ns you did im glad to know that youve got a klpd heart said uncle solon tcindhoartcdneas to man and bast ts one of the best things in life its what holds this world to gether anybody that uses cayenne pepper to torture an animal or play tricks on it is no friend of mine i can tell ye but you see maam it la thla way country folkn who keop dumb animals of all kinds know a good many tilings about them that cityfolka dont like human beings dumb animals some times go nil wrong and have to be corrected of course wo cant reason with them so we have to do tho next best thing and correct them ns we can had a little dog once that i was tremendous fond of uncle solon con tinued his nnmawas spot he wai a birddog and ad bright it seemed as if he could almost talk but he go to suckln eggs and began to steal eggs at my neighbors barns and hen houses he would fetch home eggs exaggeration is commonly held to be the special vice of schoolgirls their brothers howiever are semorq free from the habit and in fact few of us arc really accurate in speech even hi old tlrqes when the lino between fact and fancy was drawn with more sever ity than now our good puritan an cestors occasionally slipped across it to tho wrong side an anecdote la related of one ex cellent divine whose essential truth fulness was unquestioned but whoae tongues ran into excesses disturbing tot his congregation in the fervor of dis course his facts hod a way of expand ing and increasing almost beyond re cognition so that he was constantly saying things which viewed in the after cold light of criticism were not true at last a deputation was sent tq remonstrate with him ho was greatly distressed an 1 readily promised to exercise with mora care hi the fafurc buy before long he erred agalp carried away by his own eloquence and a second dopu tatlrai arrjvted again he promised amendment hut agalnnfter a lltto while ho backslid and a third com mittee was sent the good man was thoroughly shock ed and repentant lie admitted every thing i know too well he pleaded that my besetting sin in exaggeration but at least h is n failing with which i struggle i hove abed over it barrels upon barrels of tears then one v deacon laughed and ono groaned and the mlfllster looked in nocently from one to the other to see what was amiss ho was never remonstrated again the congregation had to admit that even a good man may have an in corrigible fault quoted tonight with respect to immi grant ratea tho difficulty with which the government has been confronted will bo readily appreciated the only way to overcome that difficulty is o grapple with tho ocean rates on immi grants if we aro to ho successful in getting immigrants into canada wo must take some steps to control ocean rates j then another significant announce ment came from tho prime minister near tho conclusion of- tho debate on friday night when ha made it known that the government was of an open mind on tho whole question of securing the mont effective remedies and would move that the resolution before the house on which tho bill itself it to be based would go to tho special com- ihlttee for consideration instead of the bill and that those who voted for tho resolution in tho house would not necessarily bo committed to voting for the specific plan in committee this announcement came aa an interjection in a speech by joseph t shaw pro gressive member for west calgary who was uiging that the members of tho house nnd of tho committee
