OLD FASHIONED ROSES.
They ain’t no style about ’em
And they’re sort o’ pale an’ faded,
Yit the doorway here without ’em
Would be lonesomer and shaded
with a good ’eal blacker shadder
Than the mornin’ glories makes,
And the sunshine would look sadder
For their good old fashioned sakes.
I like ’em ’cause they kind o’
Sort o make a feller feel like ’em
And I tell you when I find a
Bunch out whur the sun km strike
’em thinkin’
It alius sets me
O’ the one ’at used to grow
i nd peek in through the chinkin’
* O’ the cabin, don’t you know.
And then I think o’ mother
And how she used to love ’em
When they wuzn’t any other
’Less she found ’em up above ’em.
And her eyes afore she shut ’em
with smile, and . said
Whispered, hunch a and put ’em
We must pick a dead.
In her hand when she wuz
But, as I wuz a-say in',
ain’t style , about . . , em
They no
Very gaudy or displayin’,
But I wouldn’t be without ’em,
’Cause I’m happier in these posies
And the hollyhawks and sich
Than the hummin’ bird ’at noses
In the roses of the rich.

District Missionary Meeting.
The Foreign Missionary Society of
the Oxford District went into an
nual session in Mansfield Wednesday
afternoon and continued its meet
ings till this—Friday—afternoon whe
the conference closed.
Delegates from the Covington, Mid¬
way and Oxford auxiliaries,headed by
Mrs. John B. Davis, the District sec
retary, went to Mansfield Wednes¬
day morning for the occasion.
Mrs. John B. Davis has been in
charge of the meeting and under
her direction a most interesting pro¬
gram had been arranged for the oc¬
casion. The opening session was
given over largely to receiving re¬
ports from the various auxiliaries of
the District.
Mrs. A. M. Turner of North Cov¬
ington, Second Vice President of the
State Conference, . who conducts so
acceptably and profitably the Young
Peoples department of the Conference
was present and added much to the
success of the Conference.
Miss Sallie Stewart, of Oxford, who
serves the State Conference as As¬
sistant Secretary, was present.Miss
Stewart is a wholesome Christian
worker and has the distinction of
never having missed a meeting of the
State ~r District Conference since

gia Foreign Missionary Conference.
A bountiful dinner was served on
the ground Thursday by the ladies
of the Mansfield auxiliary, giving the
social side of the day a feature that
was greatly enjoyed by the many wh<
were privileged to attend
A feeling of deep spirituality per¬
vaded the Conference from the open¬
ing to the closing session affording
a blessing to all present that cannot
be estimated.
ABOUT WOMEN.
Mrs. Rose Keeley has recently been
appointed matron of the Brooklyn, N.
Y., Marriage License Bureau, The
principal reason for Mrs. Keeley’s po¬
sition is the fact that the presence
of a woman is a comfort and guaran¬
tee of protection to young women
who go there with their future hus¬
bands.
A bill has been introduced in the
Maine legislature imposing a tax on
bachelors past 30 of $10 annually, the
money to be used as a pension for
such spinsters past 40 as can present
evidence that they have never receiv¬
ed a satisfactory offer of marriage.
Miss Florence Pretz, Kansas City
responsible for the Billiken who has
come into the world to bring good
luck. All other omens, such as old
horseshoes, four leaved clover and
rabbit’s feet are not altogether out
of the running.
Dr. Mary Crawford, of Williamsburg,
hospital, Brooklyn, is the first wo¬
man ambulance surgeon in the world.
Queen Helen’s head maid makes
about £ 1000 a year selling her mis¬
tress old gowns. She holds a sale
semi annually, and it is said
American women are her best cus¬
tomers.
Today there is no question that
the plain little American girl, Helen
Zimmerman, who married the duke of
Manchester, has become a greater
personage than any other American
girl who has married a British ti
tie.
Proposals By Royal Maids.
When a reigning queen is to be
married she must - be the one to
broach the subject to her future con¬
sort. The same rule holds good with
regard to all royal ladies who marry
commoners.
The late Queen Victoria has told
how she managed to “put the ques¬
tion’’ to Prince Albert—how she first
showed him Windsor and its beau¬
ties, and the distant landscape, and
then said: “All this may be yours.”
The queen of Holland, on a like
occasion simply sent a sprig of white
heather, begging Prince Henry to
look for its meaning in a book of
flowers and their meanings.
The Duchess of Argyil took the
following means of proposing to the
Marquis of Lome. She wa3 about
to attend a state ball, and gave it
out that she would choose as her
partner the man she intended to hon¬
or. She selected the marquis, who
subsequently became her husband.
But, perhaps, the most interesting
of all ways chosen was that of the
Duchess of Fife. She took the earl
as he was then, to a drawer, and
showed him its contents. There he
S3.W a number of trifles he had giv
en her at different times, including
sprigs of several different kinds of
flowers, now dead, he had picked for
her at various times. He was much
impressed at the sight, nor did it re¬
quire words on h< r part to make her
meaning clear.—Exchange.
Interesting Collectors.
Mbs Marjorie Gould has one of the
largest collections of spoons in the
country, and she is adding to it al¬
most daily. S! has a spoon from e’<
ery state iu the union, eacli with the
coat of arms of the state on the
handle. She a oons from
almost every < >e. A few
of the collection are of gold, but the
majority are of silver.
Miss Helen Taft is also a spoo* col¬
lector, but she go xclusively for
odd designs. I s Taft’s aim to
complete a coll* f 311 marking all the
oddities In spoon-making since the
time when spoons first were used
down to the present day. She is an
authority on spoon-making sine# the
earliest times, as is Miss Gould.—Ex

WOMAN’S CLUB WORK FOR
ANOTHER YEAR PLANNED
In studying the Shakesperean plays selected for next year’s work
In the Woman’s club, it is suggested that the several committees in
charge of a play work together In order that the analysis may be made
and systematically. At every meeting, each member will be
to respond with a quotation from the drama under considera
II III | | M;|gt--, ; | |
It is also suggested that the plays be considered from the following
points:
(1) Historical basis of play.
(2) Scene of drama.
(3) Development of plot.
(4) Closing action. |
(5) Character development and analysis.
The chief beauty and greatness of Shakespeare lie in his wonderful
building, so special stress will be laid on this phase of the
power. For this reason the committee in charge of the latter
of a play is given but little analysis of construction work, being look
to for an exposition of the characters of the principal actors.

OPPORTUNITIES.
The issues of life concentrate themselves into a few special points of
The success and failure of life depend upon whether these opportu¬
are grasped when they present themselves or whether they are neg¬
and permitted to pass.
Life’s greatest opportunities are not like the great ships which sail
the chief ports of tbe world, which sail and come again and sail
stated intervals from the same Ports.
The great chances touch once at the pier of our lives, throw out
planks of opportunity over which our feet may pass, ring their sig¬
bells in our ears, and then sail out of the harbor and away into the
sea and never come again.
The little chances linger and return, but the great chances come and
and never come again. . If with illumined sight we could look
. .
over the lives of the people by whom we are surrounded, how
great and rich opportunities would we see that they have permitted
drift by them unimproved!—J. T.McFarland.
