THE BELLS OF SHANDON.
With deep affaction and recollactlon
I often think of tha abandon balls.
Wheat sonnda to wild would. In daya of
childhood,
Flint round my cradls their mafic apalla.
On thla I ponder, where'er I wander,
And thna grow fonder, sweet Oork, of thee;
with thy belli of abandon
That aotmd to grand on
Tha pleasant waters of tha river Lea.
I have heard balls chiming fall many a
dime In,
Tolling anbllmsly In eathadral ahrina;
While at a gllbe rata brass tongues would
vibrate,
But all thalr music apoke naught to thina;
For mamory dwelling on each proud swelling
Of thy belfry knalling Ha bold notoo freo.
Made the belli of Abandon
Sonsd far moro grand on
The pltaiant watero of the river La*.
I'ro heard belli tolling "old Adrlan'a mole"
In.
Their thnndsr rolling from tht Vatican,
With aymbola glorlons, swinging uproarious
In tha gorgeous turrats of Notre Dama;
But thy oounda wore sweotor than tha dome
of Fetor
Fllngo o'er tha Tiber, pealing solemnly.
Oh, tha belli of Shandon
Sound far mors grand on
The ploaaant writers of tha riser Lae.
There's a hall In Moscow, while on towar and
ktoako
In 8t. Sophia tha Torkman gtta,
And load In air calls man to prayer,
From tka tapering summit of tall mlnarsta.
Such amply phantom, I freely grant them,
Eut there'a an anthem moro dear to ins,
'Tla tht holla of Shandon
That sound to grand on
The pleasant waters of tha river Lae.

“Home, Sweet Home!”
It Is one of the Ironies of fate that the poet from whose pen has come
the Immortal lyric of the hearthstone was himself a roving outcast—a
homeless wanderer.
The world remembers the pathetic story of John Howard Payne.
Broken In health and reduced In fortune, the poor American exile
found himself In the throbbing heart of the groat city of London. Be
tween his publishers,—who allowed him little,—and bis creditors,—who
came to see him often,—the penniless poet was In sore straits. The
Atlantic ocean separated him from kith and kin. He felt the acutest
sense of Isolation—the bitterest pang of loneliness.
Perhaps no solltudo Is more oppressive than the solitude of great
cities—the solitude which broods In the repellent looks of the unsympa
thetic multitudes. It Is the heart's Sahara. Bereft of all other consola
tion, Payne seised the harp; and lightly ho touched the strings.
But not In vain.
For the fire of Inspiration was In the poet's soul; and, on the^banks
of the River Thames, from the aching heart of an humble exile, leaped
the hearthstone melody of "Home, Sweet Home.”
Today It Is the song of the millions. It gladdens the heart of the
king. It charms the ear of the peasant. It constitutes the liquid bar that
welds the hemispheres. It forms the rhythmlo wreath that belts tbo
earth.
It Is the music that Bings to us of mother. It Is the warbler that
wakens for ns the laughter of little children. It Is the minstrel that
makes ns forget the disappointments and the heart-aches of life—that
takes us back to the homestead on the hills—that weaves about us the
fantastic shadows of the old oak trees I
Ay, It tilts to our feverei! lips;
"The old oaken bucket—the moss-covered bucket—the
Iron-bound bucket that hung In the well.'*
Home! Not lta possession, but Its want Not Its enjoyment, but Its
need. Wsa there ever suoh another paradox? But unless the song bad
been wrung from the heart of the singer It could never have melted the
heart of the cold world or sweetened the march of the centuries!
Who of us Is so immersed In the cares of business or so hardened
by the grind of dally toll that we a&n not find In this magto word, Home,
a charm beyond the spell of amulets?
Home! Home!
The very name Itself Is an anthem In an acorn!
Composed of only four letters of tho English alphabet. It Is one of the
simplest words known to the tongne of Tennyson and Shakespeare. . It
takes but a breath to voice It It takes but a stroke to write It But an
ocean plummet can not sound Its crystal depth of meaning. It has been
the theme of all artists. It has been the dream of all poets. It has been .
the burden of all songs. It has been the Inspiration of all herolo thoughts
and deeds and lives.
We may not realize perchance what home means to us until'seas
and mountains separate us from the loved ones—perchance not until
sickness and misfortune come—perchance not until the Dreaded 8hadow
falls upon the threshold and the Raven croaka above the bust of Pallas.
But when some tie Is snapped and some link Is broken and some chair
Is vacant at the fireside, then we realise that the cords which bind us to
the homestead are knotted In the .bosom’s core and center—then we
realise that the poet sang for us and sang for all the world when he
sang beside the Thames:
" 'Mid pleasures and palaces tho' I may roam, ,
Be It ever so humble, there's no place like home."
Home! Home! t
To define this simple English word Is to exhaust the resources ot
metaphor. ,
It Is the charmed center of all existence. It Is the golden axle-tree
around which all Industry—all thought—all feeling rotates. It Is the
casket of humanity's crown-jewels. It Is the hive of love's sweet honey
comb for which we hoard and hope and hunger. It is the haven of re
treat to which we turn our footsteps when the labors ot the day are over.
It Is our bivouac on the mafeh. It Is our well-spring In the desert. It
Is the anchor which keeps our. ships from drifting out to sqa. It Is the
compass which keeps our rudders true to heaven. It Is the voice which
calls to us across the waters—growing louder and clearer and sweeter
with the deepening twilight: “Home, Sweet Home!”
When the soldier of the legion lay dying In Algiers, it was not the
country spread out upon the map to which hla feverish fancies wandered
back. It was the vlue-clad hills of Bingen.
So patriotism In Its last analysis Is the love ot home.
Ood give us happy homes—pure homes!
' They may be humble enough; but. If love be In them, they will keep
the ship of state anchored In serene and peaceful waters. No blot will
stain the (1*6. The laws of the country. will be framed In wisdom and
upheld In honor. The statesman will he steadfast In the forum. The
soldier will be valiant In the field. The sentinel upon the watch-tower
will be faithful In the hour of danger; and all will be well with the
republic.
Bleas the dear old Angel-Saxon
For the words he formed so well:
Little words, the nectar-waxen
Harvest of a honey-cell,
Sealing all a summer's sweetness
In a single syllable;
But of all hla quaint word-building,
The queen celt of all the comb
Is that dear old Saxon mouthful.
Dear old Saxon heartful: Home.

Around the Clock
Oh, What’s
The Use?
A aure-enough tragedy almost re
sulted several days ago at the home In
Inman Park of Mr. ami Mrs. Blank,
who recently returned from their hon
eymoon.
It was only a few days after the
Blanks returned to the little home In
the quiet suburb that Mrs. Blank of
fered na a dinner delicacy her first first
apple pie.
Blank tried the pic, but was unable
to eat It. His wife wanted to know
why. Blank tried to put over an ex
planation, but It was useless.
"My dear, I never eat ple,”*explalned
the newly wedded Blank. "I Just con
sented to try this one out of compll
ment to you. I can't finish It. Tm cer
tain It'll mnke me sick."
The explanation seemed satisfactory
to Mrs. Blank; In fact, so satisfactory
that she hugged him a couple of times
nnd called him "a dear old hubby."
Blank liked pie, but h«. didn't like
his wife's mako. If 'Blank was ever
at peace with the world. It was when
he hod a big piece of pie, with a large-
sized glass of milk. But since he mar
ried he had missed this dainty delicacy.
Some nights later Blank had ns a
guest a chum of boarding house days,
and the latter wns telling ot Blank'i
table feats.
"Did you ever In all your life,” blurt,
ed out tho young man, "see a man who
could eat so much pie as he can?"
Hence the tragedy. C. H.

On Monddy morning, December 21, at 9 o’clock the census bureau of
the department of agriculture at Washington will Issue a report of the
amount of cotton glijned o? this season's crop up to December 14,
It will be the most Important report Issued during the season In that
it will give a clearer Insight as to the size of the crop now being mar
keted than any of lta predecessors. The glnnero' report and government's
estimate of the crop, leaued on December 8 and 9, respectively, confused
the trade and made tt Impossible to form anything like a definite opinion
as to the ultimate yield for this crop. Several states, notably. North and
South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, were considerably under-estimated,
If the figures of the glnnlngs to December 1 were correct. It Is claimed
that Monday's report will show as much or more In the states named
that alloted them In estimate of December 9. At first glance the esti
mate was bullish. After mature deliberation nnd careful study, the bears
decided It was a very bearish document. The bulls apparently acquiesced
In the decision. At any rate the bears have had control of the market for
the greater part of the week, with the result that prices have sagged to
the lowest points for tho crop, the low figure occurring on Wednesday, due
to scattered liquidation and absence of any support from the bulls. Sell
ing was checked In a measure by the appearance of Investment buying and
by several estimates showing that the amount of cotton ginned since De
cember 1 has fallen off. the reduction being figured by some at 80 per cent
since the last period, which would Indicate the approach at Interior
exhaustion, as was the case In 1905.
A New York firm has the following from a prominent cotton merchant
In South Carolina:
"The writer has Just returned from a trip covering a good portion of
the upper part of Georgia and South Carolina. I find quite a number of
fields which have been In cotton this fall, but now have a good stand of
grain on them; also find that the purchases of wheat and oats for planting
ore largely In excess of the amount bought for this purpose for several
years past
“Owing to the present low prices of cotton and high prices for food
stuffs, the farmers seem to be quietly going along preparing to materially
Increase their planting ot grain, which, of course, must bs at the expense
of cotton acreage.
"Unless the price of cotton advances materially between now and April
1, there Is no doubt that the acreage of cotton will be substantially re
duced In these two states, anil It Is natural to suppose that other states
will do likewise.
"We also find that In the upper portion of Georgia and Carolina fully
>0 per cent, and In some cases over 90 per cent, of the cotton has been
ginned to December 1.
"We also have endeavored to get some accurate Information as to the
amount of cotton held back, for our own use as a guide to business here,
and much to our surprise we find less than one-third of the amount of cot
ton held back In the Piedmont section of Carolina, ss compared with a year
a^b, while the amount held back In upper Georgia Is proportionately lees.
"There Is no doubt that this crop was an early one, rapidly ginned nnd
rapidly marketed. The offerings are now extremely limited, consisting
mainly of remnants and off grades.
"We see no reason to expect a crop In excess of 12,750,000.
"We also beg to advise that there Is a decidedly Improved demand for
cotton from the Southern mills since the government estimate."
The movement continues on a liberal scale, tho a tendency to decrease
has been noted In the past two weeks, and from now to the end of the
season It Is highly probable the movement will show a sharp decrease as
compared with the two btg crop years.
At the close contract In New York showed advances of from 3 to 6
points over the final figures on December 11.
Following Is the week's range:

Give a Kodak!
The popularity of Kodaks as Christmas gifts is
rapidly increasing; and. naturally, too, for there is a
uniqueness which makes them so distinctive.
To satisfy the holiday demand we have greatly
increased our stock of all popular models. The prices
vary from $1 to $20.
