AUTUMN
Ho for the betiding sheaves,
Ho lor the crimson leave*
Flaming in splendor!
Season of ripened void,
Plenty in crib and fold,
Skies and d'ptli tint Id,
Liquid and tender.
Far, like the smile of God,
ne@ how the goldenrod
Ripples and toss I
Yonder, a •rimso vn e
Trails from a ne.irl-d pine,
Thin as a t rea I of w ine
Staining the mosses
Bright ’neath Ihe morning blu
JJjparkUs the frosted <K\v,
' Gem-like and starry.
Hark how the partridge cock
Pipes to his scattered flock.
Mindful how swift the hawk
Darts on his quarry 1
Autumn is here agaiu—
Banners on hill and plain
Blazing and flying
H ail to the amber morn,
Hail to the heapt-up corn,
Hail to the hunter’s horn,
Swelling and dying!
—James Buckman, in “The
Heart of Life.”
SHE MISUNDERSTOOD.
Many singers fail to realize
the importance of distinct enun
ciation, and the charm of a
beautiful voice is often lost by
the listener who is vainly strug
gling to catch the meaning of
the sm g.
A young woman who consid
ers herself nil admirable ballad
linger one day received a severe
from the criticism of an
©TF! lady who had formed one of
her audience. Among other
ballads tho( .<*»r had rendored
‘‘Rory O’More” in her beat
style and had received much
applaus*.
The old lady, who sat in the
front sent in the little hall
where the entertainment was
given, looked at first puzzled
and then distressed a* the fa
miliar song proceeded, and at
the close of tho c mcert she
waited to speak to the young
women.
•‘My dear,” she said in a
quivering voice, “I remember
when ‘Rory o'More’ first came
out. I have neyer t een a sing
er mys-if, but have always beep
ii teres • d in music and I nni
sure I never beard the words as
you sang them tonight. lam

usually good, but will you tel
me where you get your authori
ty for singing:
He poulticed the hock,
Ai d she sal ed it down ?
For, though I cannot remem 1 1 r
the original words, I am sur
they were not like that.”
The y ung women’s face whs
crimson -he -bowed the old
lady her copy of the song and
p gut® i to t lie wor 's:
He bold as th» hawk
And she soft ss the dawn.

The change of this worm in

A DETERMINED WOMAN.
A very old woman died the
other dav at Belleville. 111.,
who had a singular history.
Thirty year* ago aha was u pret
ty woman, fond of society.
Sh« married the second tiu)«,
ami bar luiaband. who wm» a
widowar, wanted bar to wear
the dr***e* of hi* tirat wife.
The new wife refused. When
her own dresses wore out, she
made her rags into covering. In
the sutnmei she went without
shoes, and in the winter she
tied rag* about her feet. For
thirty year* aim spoke to nobody
hut her husliand, and never
left the house. She was firm
in her determination, and her
husband would uot yield.
A high hoard fence was built
around their home, and the
two secluded themselves from
the world. Neither would give
wuy to other, and neither gamed
anything hy it, except the rep
utation of being cranky. The
huehnnd died a few year* ago,
and now hi* victim fellow*

ABOUT ADVERTISING.
Advertising may lie done in a
thousand ways. Any method
which tells anybody about any
thing is advert ising. Advertis
ing mnv be done by word of
mouth or by word oi type. Ad
vertising is anything which con
veys a message about a busißeis
or a product .
If a man opens a itore and
tells his friends about it, he is
advertising the store.
If he prints his announce
ment on cards arid hands them
to the passerby, he is advertis
ing the store.
If he put* his sign above the
door or goods into his window,
he is advertising the store.
If he makes a hundred dupli
cates of this sign and nail*
them on fences or dead walls
w here jxiople can sec them, he
is advertising.
If he joins a church or club
•>r secret society his mini® and
business will Iceome known,
and he will still 1c advertising
If he causes hi* «gn or hi*
card to hs reproduced and prin
ted in a newspaper, lie is doing
the same thing tliHt In.-did when
he tacked the -*ign on the fences
or handed the card to the pas
sers-by. He is putting hi* sign
into the house of every reader
of that paper.
This hypothetical man is a
retail dealer, lie is iu direct
contact with the people to
whom he seeks to convey the
news of hi* enterprise. The
principle is exactly the same
with the maker or handler ot
goods that aro to have a more
than local sale.
Of all the way* of advertising
the heat, most certain and
cheapest v is that if using the
columns of h gis.it uew*pa]ier.

THIS LAW IS NEEDED.
N'o Dill lias been introduced
in tile legislature during its
present. session from which
greater benefits could arise thau
that which was introduced a few
days since by Mr. Pierce, of

damaging to farmers especially

are known to be working for
others either under verbal or
written contract. —Gainesville

Whv should not the people
•elect all the judges, solicitors
and kindred officials. Haven’t
the people sense enough to know
go<sl men from bad? If not
and an era of corruption will be
engendered thereby, then the
power to elect those who are
to rule over them should lie
taken from the people entirely
and power be given to the leg
islature to elect the governor,
county officers, etc., with right
also of choosing their own suc
cessors. To argue that the peo
pl« are not coin tie tent to choose
one class is to argue they are
not competent to choose the
other.

ful of sugar to a quart and s«o
if they’re not better.
In canning berries don’t cook
them to death; when they have
all become thoroughly hot

several thicknesses of pajier and
keep in a cool, da-ik place.
