' it* '.ft The Good OM Way. Some years ago David Barker, a distinguished poet in the Stateof Maine, after the birth of his first child, wrote and published the • following pretty poem: . . One night as old St. Peter slept . * * * He left the door of heaven ajajfv v; ' • When through a little angel crept, And came down with a falling star. . One summer as the blessed beams Of morn approached, my blushing bi<Me J, Awakened from some pleasing dreams And found the angel by her side. f •? God grant but this--I ask no more-- , ] Than when he leaves this world of He'll wing his way to that bright shore, And find the road to heaven again. John G. Saxe, not to be outdone and deemed that injustice had been done to St Peter, wrote the following as St. Peter's reply: 5 : .̂ . > Fnll eighteen hundred years or more •" ,1 I've kept my gate securely fast; , There has no "Little Angel" strayed Nor recreant through the portals passed. I did not sleep as you supposed, Nor left the door of heaven ajar. ,»"V Nor has a "little angel" strayed • ^ And gone down with a falling star. J -- - uo ask that blushing bride, and see /' "* J If she don't' frankly own and say, That when she found that angel babe,. - She found it in the good old way.

"flWftfier, it MaUtiited for Dr. Dela- fontatas, Che Illinois Dairy union's chem­ ist, to dlioprer evra a greater fraud in the <defti|W>ignrine offered for sale in the city of dbtkafpo 'bp n retailers, who. are palming it off as butter. "Recently the Dairy union sent this dheanist three samiiles tat analysis. were purchased for butter Dairy union's inspector. Dr. Dela- fontaine reported, finding in each case that the sample was oleomargarine. "Two of these samples," said the doc­ tor, "I desire for furthur work upon. They are new to me. They are soft, and contain from 85 to 40 per cent water. The water is in them in "pockets," and when I ran my spoon in the package to get samples for analysis the water ran out in small streams. This is one of the most outrageous frauds I have ever seen foisted npon ths public, and it made me extremely angry to learn that such de­ ception is being practiced npon the peo­ ple of onr city." 'These were three of about 160 sam­ ples of so-called butter which the Illi­ nois Dairy union has gathered in the city from among dealers who sold them for butter Mid at butter prices. Need­ less to say almost every one of these samples is a fraud--not only is not but­ ter, but a double fraud--a mixture of grease and water. When a man gets oleomargarine for butter, he is only cheated to the extent of the difference in value between the two fats. But when he gets thirty-five per cent water he is being wholly defrauded in one of his purchase." Longfellow's Wayside Inn. "Rich in the historical and literary associations accumulated during two centuries of existence," says the Ladies' Home Journal for September, "the Wayside Inn, built by David Howe, still stands 'remote among the hills' in South Sudbury, Massachusetts. 'The Landlord' of Longfellow's famous Tales was the dignified 'Squire Lyman Howe, a justice of the peace and school com­ mitteeman, who lived a bachelor, and died at the inn in 1860--the last of his line to keep the famous hostelry. Be­ sides 'Squire Howe, the only other real characters in the Tales who were ever actually at the inn were Thomas W. Parsons, the Poet; Luigi Monti, the Sicilian, and Professor "baniel Tread- well, of Harvard, the Theologian, all three of whom were in the habit of spending the summer months there. Of other characters, the Musician was Ole Bull, the Student was Henry Ware Wales, and the Spanish Jew was Israel Edrehi. Near the room in which Long­ fellow stayed is the ballroom, with the dais at one end for the fiddlers. But the polished floor no longer feels the pressure of dainty feet in high-heeled slippers gliding over it to the strains of contra-dance, cotillon or minuet, al­ though the merry voices of summer visitors and the jingling bells of winter sleighing parties at times still break the quiet of the ancient inn."
