♦ RAIN ON THE ROOF. ♦
(By Coates Kinney, i
NVhen the human shadows hover
Over all the starry spheres,
And the melancholy darkness
Gently weeps in rain's tears,
What a bliss to press the pillow
Os a cottage chamber bed
And to listen to the patter
Os the soft rain overhead!
Every tinkle on the shingles
Has an echo in the heart;
And a thousand dreamy fancies
Into busy being s art.
And a thousand recollections
Weave their air threads into woof,
As 1 listen to the patter
Os the rain upon the roof.
Kow in memory comes my mother
As she used long years agone
To regard the darling dreamers
Ere she left them till the dawn;
Oh, I see her leaning o'er me,
As I list to this refrain
Which is played upon the shingles
By the patter of the rain.
Then my little seraph sister,
With her wings and waving hair,
And the star-eyed cherub brother —
A serene angelic pair—
Glide around my wakeful pillow,
With their praise or mild reproof
As I listen to the murmur
Os the soft rain on the roof.
And another comes to thrill me
With her eyes’ delicious blue:
And I mind not, musing on her.
That her heart was all untrue;
1 remember but to love her
AVirh a passion kin to pain,
And my heart’s quick pulses vibrate
To the patter of the rain.
Art hath naught of tone or cadence
That can work with such a spell
in the soul’s mysterious fountains,
Whence the teairs of rapture well
As that melody of nature,
That subsided, subduing strain
Which is played upon the shingles
By the patter of the rain.

\MERKTS AND THE TO CRESTS’
MAP.
There is every hopeful tendency
that Americus will become a center of
interest for tourists from all sections
of the country. The development of
good roads was the first step in this
direction. Following this came the
establishment of excellent hotel fa
cilities, while the assurance is now
given that with the enlargement of
the golf links at the Country Club the
popularity of Americus as a tourist
center will be assured.
It is interesting to note the many
attractions that the city affords to
the traveller from afar. The tourist is
able to reach Americus over the fin
est roads that can be found in the
state. He is assured of hotel facili
ties that are first class in every par
ticular, while excellent fishing, mo
: toring and other out-door sports are
at his command.
There is but one thing lacking in
the way of out-door recreation that
must be supplied, that is the im
, provement and enlargement of the
golf links at the Country Club. Un
der present conditions the golf links
; are not adequate for those who like
|to enjoy to the fullest extent the
1 pleasure that this out-of-door game
j affords. The enlargement of the golf
links to a nine-link course, and the
J installation, perhaps, of additional ten
nis courts would give ideal grounds
! for (recreation at the Country Club.
| The Central of Georgia railway has
; generously offered to aid in advertis
| ing Americus to the’ tourists of the
I country, if the golf links are enlarg
ed. To meet this condition will help
strengthen the grip Americus should
have on the tourist trade as much as
any other single factor. If we are to
have a new highway and to advertise
it, why not prepare ourselves to reap
the benefit that may come from that
source.
Let the people of Americus rally to
the support of the Board of Trade in
its efforts' to fix Americus definitely
on the tourists’ map. ,

♦ SOME WOMEN WE OUGHT TO ♦
♦ KNOW. ♦
♦ ♦
♦ Anna Hinderer and All Missionary ♦
♦ Pioneers. ♦
♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦
(By Barbara. Boyd.)
The world always needs pioneers,
and mihssionary pioneers in (he larg
est sense of the word. For when there
are no more foreign lands and people
to whom light, needs to be carried,
there are realms of thought and move
ments for the advancement of peoples
right about us in which pioneers are
needed. ISo it is therefore most fit
ting that among the windows in the
cathedrial at Liverpool to notable wo
men i 3 one to Anna Hinderer and all
missionary pioneers.
Anna Hinderer, whose maiden name
was Annie Martin, was born in 1827 at
Hempnall, in Norfolk. Even as a child
ion. Missionary work in particular ap
ier desires ran to the things of relig
pealed to her, and her ambition was to
be a missionau-y. She met David
Hinderer, a member of a band of Ger
man evangelists. He had been ordain
ed by the Bishop of Canterbury for
missionary work in connection with
the Church of England. Their mutual
interest dn this field of labor brought
about a friendship which soon rijvened
into love. . They were married in Oc
tober, 1852. J and in six months were
on their way to the west coast of
Africa.
Anna Hinderer had not mistaken her
vocation. Few do, when to do a cer
tain work is the consuming desire of
their life. iShe had the magnetism,
the personality, whatever it is called,
that wins hearts. IShe soon became
known as Iya (mother) by the people
among whom she worked, and this
name clung to her all through her
missionary career.
Her work was the hardest kind of
pioneer work, for her husband was
the first white teacher to visit Ibadan
in the Yoruba district. To sit com
fortably at home and comprehend the
problems this woman faced is almost
an impossibility. But face them she
. did, cheerfully and successively, and
. wonderful results followed her labors.
After seventeen years’ work she fell
a prey to the fever of this coast and
i passed away at the age of 43.
But to these savage people whose
comprehension of life was so limited
she brought more abundant life. She
1 opened to them the meaning of life,
, its beauties, its illimitableness. Surely
this is a work worth while.
All who do thist work are mission
. aries, whether they go to the west
, coast of Africa or whether they bring
enlightenment to those immediately
about them. And enlightment and up
i lift are needed in many other realms
. than .the purely religious. Life is liv
; ed in many phases, and any effort to
open out life for those about us, to
make it more beautiful or happier, is
worth our endeavors. And if the way
seems beset with difficulties, the life
of Anna Binderer should be an en
couragement and an inspiration. The
way was opened to do the work she
wanted to do, and the way does open
usually for those with an earnest pur
pose. And when it was opened, she
used to the full the opportunities that
were hers. And the result was a great
and useful success. And all who
earnestly desire, who seize and use
opportunities as they come, will, iikn
Anna Hinderer, be able to carry out
their heart’s desire.

Food for Repentance.
A well known federal officer, says
Success, was strolling down Philadel
phia avenue one afternoon when .<e
encountered a very small boy crying
; bitterly.
“What’s the matter with that child?”
demanded the official somewhat per
emptorily, of the woman who had him
in charge. “Is he ill?”
“He ain't exactly ill,” responded the
unmoved woman, “but between you
and me, sir, no stomach ain't goin’ to
stand nine doughnuts!”
The Type AVas “Mixed.”
A AVashington, Indiana news item
says: An editor here is convinced the
lot of the editor is not all a bed of
roses. He wrote an excuse for get
ting his paper out late, saying it was
caused by physical demorialization due
to “sitting too close to the boarding
house window.”
The “cussed compositor” set the stuff
leaving out the letter “N” in the win
dow. The editor had to leave, but hij
trunk is still at the boarding-house.
The excuse of the editor just will not
be gulped down, especially by those
who are not “next” to the routing of
newspaper composing rooms, nd he is
decidedly “in bad.”
Awful Inquisition.
iA little colored girl, deeply insulted
by her playmate, who had pushed her
“off’n de stoop,” took her case before
the justice of the peace, says Every
body's Magazine. He enquired into
the circumstances, and said, turning
to the injured one:
“The plaintiff is allowed to ask the
defendant a question in regard to the
assault.”
“Wha’s dat you say, sah?”
“I say that you may ask the de
fendant a question.”
“Wh-whia’ll Ah ask her, sah?”
“Any question you like.”
The child studied the floor a mo
ment. Then, with the politest of
smiles, she inquired: “Sally, am yo'
mamma well?”
Turning the Tables.
The bridegroom and his bride were
starting on their honeymoon, says the
London Express. Just as they had
taken their seats in the train, one of
the bridegroom's chums came hastly
along to hid him good-bye.
As the young husband extended his
hand the friend snapped a handcuff on
his wrist. The groom had been ex
pecting a trick of some kind, and be
fore the practical joker could play a
similar trick on the bride, he found
the other handcuff snapped round his
own wrist. He was chained to the
happy bridegroom himself.
“That’s a good one against me, Har
ry," he said, with a sickly smile, “but
I shall have to ask you to come to the
door with me and get the key for these
things. A man on the platform has
it.”
Just then the guard's whistle sound
ed, and the train started off, and it
made no stop for the next fifty miles.
Before that, however, the guard, with
the aid of a file, succeeded in separat
ing the prisoners.
The joker meanwhile had to pay full
fare both ways.

Beholding the bright countenance of

Howe'er it be, it seems to me,

To live in hearts we leave behind

—Campbell.
I find the great thing In the world

what direction we are movings. To
reach the port of heaven, we must sail

times against it; but we must sail, and
nor drift nor lie at anchor.—Oliver

(Arthur Chapman, Denver Republicani
She ain’t so awfully lily-white
(As heroines of books.
But you can bet she’s there, all right,
NVit.h honest, wholesome looks;
She’s freckled, and I must admit,
There’s sunburn on her nose,
I lit she can twirl a rope and git
A hoss each time she throws.
Hpr hands are slim and strong and
brown,
Her hair hangs in a braid;
1 nlike the gals that come from town,
She never gits afraid;
She don’t know tennis and seek things,
Nor run them steeds that honks.
Bib say, she beats the world, by jinks!
'At tamin’ outlaw bronks.
There’s no soft pedal on her laugh—
It ripples loud and free;
She’s speedy with the sort of chaff
That some calls repartee;
She’s busy, mornin’, noon, and night,
And, when she rides to church,
I have to hit the trail, all right,
Or git left in the lurch.

The May Success Magazine.
Timeliness and attractiveness are j
the distinguishing features, of the
May Suocesi Magazine, which appears
in a striking cover and a new dress of
type. “A Pageant of Liberty” by Rob
ert Haven Scrauffier is a suggestion
for an Independence Day Celebration
based upon the Pittsburg plan. It
comes out in time to be useful to
towns that are planning sane Fourth
celebrations. “The New Senate” by
Robert AVickcliffe Woolley shows how
thoroughly the old landmarks have
been swept away in the upper house.
In “The Boys Are After You” Forrest
Crissev writes of the Boy's Corn Clubs
and their 50,0 n" members. Edwin
Emerson gives a realistic picture of
“Fighting in 'Mexico.” “The Empty j
Linen Chest" by Mary Heaton Vorse j
shows how the American housewife
pays an exorbitant tax to protect an j
industry, which does not exist. 0. S.!
Warden contributes an editorial “Gray,
Hairs Seeking a Job. ’
Other good features of the number!
are “The Dairy of a Fattish Girl” by j
Louise Closser Hale; "The Runner*’ by j
Leslie W. Quirk: The Luck Serum”
by Gouverneur Morris; “Janey Peers
Behind the Veil” by Inez Haynes Gill
more; “A Page of Verse” by Richard
AVightman, and ‘Reciprocity,’’ an Un
musical Musical Comedy by AA’allace
Irwin.
The May Strand Magazine.
The May Strand is an attractive
number both as regards fiction and
articles. There are stories by Conan
Doyle (a new Sherlock Holmes “Re
miniscence” entitled “The Adventures
of the Red Circle”), AV. W. Jacobs
(prince of humoris’s), Barry Pain, E.
M. Jameson, Randolph Bedford, Austin
Phillips and others. AA'endell Phillips
Dodge contributes the first part of a
highly interesting article dealing with
“AVall Street: Its History and Ro
mance.” This should attract those
who have lost money speculating as
well as those who have successfully
“played the market.” Lee Shubert,
the theatrical manager, writes inter
estingly on the “Difficulties of Play
Production,” and Arthur Morrison
tells us that “Sekigwa” means Jap
anese “Impromptu-Pictures.” Every
one who has ever handled a playing
card will read with astonishment the
marvelous number of times a pack
may be arranged without repetition.
A colored section devoted to pretty
and well-known actresses is an at
tractive feature.
The May Wide World Magazine.
'ln the May Wide World, Mr. H.
Heskeath iPrichard commences his
account of the remarkable journey he
made “Across Unknown Labrador.”
The opening chapters are highly in
teresting, and wiill be read with deep
attention by: all who can appreciate
the dangers and delights of explora
tion in untraversed lands. Major P. M.
Sykes also begins a series of articles,
entitled "Through the Wilds of Per
sia,” and Mrs. Ellen Beadnell de
scribes her “•Holiday in Japan.” There
are some hj|sJy exciting stories —“The
Five-Branched Cocoianut,” “In the Grip
of the Blanket Fish,” I-ost in an Un
derground Lake,” and “The ‘King of
the ISticks.’ ” The articles and stories
deal with all parts of the globe and
contain an immense amount of geog
raphical information served up iu a
highly attractive way.

♦ MAY ♦
(John Benton In the Outlook.)
Iris-tinted May now skirts the woods
and hollows,
And, where the south wind leads, swift
and soft-footed follows;
There’s incense in her breath, before
her steps and after,
And in her loosened brooks echoes of
woodland laughter.
In the bosky thickets birds are briskly
singing,
While the lofty swallows some message
must be bringing
From the far Azores, so strong is his
endeavor
To brush against the azure, and go
sailing on forever.
Not less the crystal lake he puts in his
dominions,
He skims its polished face; and, with
He skims ts polished face; and, with
his preened-out pinions,
Single-eyed, surveys all his insect
quarry,
Having two highways, the mundane
and the starry.
That white sheet you see, where all
the greenery varies,
Is the petaied snow shed by the san
guinaria’s
Clear and spotless blossoms —seen by
every comer —
A chosen scarf of spring thrown on the
neck of summer.
The wind-flower, all alone, that with
no other mates!.
Lifts tremblingly its head—the dear
est, delicatest;
More than all flowery forms in wood
or meadow places,
Its rose-edged, pearl-like tint, grim
winter’s spell effaces.
May, the maiden month, has in her
rich possession
All the cavalcade of nature's fair pro
cession:
Even the bobolink, that like a fountain
rises,
Soon will add his song to her supreme
surprises!
And often glad no more,
We wear a face of joy because
We have been glad of yore.
—‘Wordsworth.
Then gently scan your brother man,
Still gentler sister woman;
Though they may gang a kennin’
wrang.
To step aside is human. —Burns. .
