1 wear the same old trusty hat I
bought six years ago next May, and
no one shies a brk-k thereat, or cans
mo down la any way. With tollers
tin the busy mart I mingle, as I al
ways did, aavd hold discourses heart
to heart and no one seems to note
my lid. I go to church on Sunday
morn., to hear the eminent dlvlme,
and no one speaks, wMh bllghMnig
scorn, about that good old tile of
mine. 1 wear it always out of doors.
though it la old and out of style;
my credit' good at all the store,
Mid people greet me with a smtle.
Hut Sister Jane must buy a hat
where'er new styles are advertised;
If she should make refusal flat, she
surely would be ostracised. They'd
freeze her out of all the clubs, and
eke would gerf, to her distress, Uie
Ire tongs from the lady dubs who
never think of aught but, drew. And
so I'm glad I'm rot a dame, that I
can wear Just what I please tn oa
clent hats, and clothe my frame In
ahelf worn handeme-downs like these
nod still be greeted by my Mends
wRh cordial grasp ami cheerful
smiles; for all our dear bought free
dom emle, when we are martyrs to
the rtyles.

SUPERSTITION

IjiiM night, to my intense dexdr,
a black dog bowled beneath my ease
ment; and at his head 1 threw a
chair, and all the stovewood In the
beuteuieint. And etlll he howled to
raise the dead, as though his soul
were torn by devils, while I fcejpt
throwing at his head oW hammers,
pHanes and tuplrk, levels. TuIh is a
sign, as all men know, that evil luck
Is coming, surely, and morning found
me full of woe, and sick at bean,
and feeltag poorly. "When howHng
bandogs are abroad," 1 said, "there'
dire mleforUUiO due me; all things
wiU travel wapperjawed, and I shall
harvest prunes, beahrew me!" Then
I went down to get my mail, and
found four checks from eastern Jour
nals, and also sundry chunks of kale
from "lUt hew George and other
colonels. Then dire foreboding flew
away like mists before a sipping
zephyr, and I sent up a roundelay,
and kicked my heels Uke any heifer.
And nearly all our dread and fears
of coming evil are as baseless; Joy
cometh to the man who cheers,
whose cheeks are of the briny trace

"Spare the rod ' and spoil the
child," said a famous sage of old;
but his wits were running wild, or
bis heart waa hard and cold. It was
taught in school and church, long
ago, that every dad should equip him
self with birch and assault the grow-
lug lad. In the olden foolish days
boys were whipped for every lapse,
and tt only aerved to raise mutiny
in manly chaps. So the boys ran off
from home, where they looked for
love in vain; and as ptretes they
would roam up -and down the Span
ish Main. Or they learned to lie
and sneak, in their fear of oaken
stave, - and, with teardrops on the
cheek, longed for an untimely grave.
I would rather that I had portion in
Che brimstone fire than be parent o
a lad wno could fear and hate uw
sire. And W boy his dad can love
If his heart with fear is sore, of the
oudget poised above, and the whip
behind the door. 8pare the child and
spoil the rod put the darned thng
to, the fireand the son will see a
God in the person of his aire.

The suffrage dames who play their
game JuM like the whiskered fel
lers," w ho bravely stand and make
deiiiMiil for votes, are city dwellers.
; The squuwky ones behind the guns
huve homes that need attention;
they run outdoors, neglecting chores
too numerous to mention. The city
wife an idle life of ease and sloth is
leading; no more she makes the gin
ger cakes, no more the dough she's
kneedlng; she pulls with vim her
husband's limb for rhino for her
spending, and spends ber days in
useless ways, tn foolish schemes un
ending. The farmers' fraus have
hens and cows to keep them sane
and busy; they fix the coops nor
give three whoops for movements
vain and dizzy. They soil . their
ducks and earn some bucks to buy
ten yards of gingham; they henfruit
sell and husband well the money it
will bring 'em. The farmers' wires
lead useful lives, and not an hour is
wasted; the city ways, the slothful
days, they hate not learned or taut
ed. . They drive to town in modest
gown behind old Prince and Polly
with cash to spnre, and do not care
for votes or other folly.

SPRINd POETRY
Hy Walt Manon
The Spring ia coming let her
come! The bees wllll soon begin to
hum and buzx around on 'gauzy
wings, and jolt us with their red
hot stings. The boy who is too tired
and worn to help the old man plant
some corn, will shovel for a fortnight
straight to get a good supply of bait.
The women will once more arise, the
light of battle In their eyes, and
cleait the house, from room to room,
with mop and duster, rag and broom,
while patient husbands seek the
barn, and say such words as "Gee"
and "Darn." The Spring Is coming
let her come! The hobo leaves
the city slum, to roam through coun
try fields and bogs, and dodge the
same old farmers' dogs. The agent,
rested, full of zeal, comes forth with
his Impassioned spiel, with specious
wiles and nerve to burn, and sells
his patent safety churn. And now,
by almost every matl, seed catalogs
come by the bale, and men who deal
In rust-proof oats come forth and
bear away our goats. Such Ills the
vernal months will bring, and yet
we're honing for the Spring! For
sunny skies and budding flowers,
soft winds and plain and fancy show
ers! For warbling birds and grow
ing grass, and heaps of nice fresh
garden sass!

FINDING FAULT
Hy Walt Msmmi
The kicking game will bring you
fame unpleasant, grim and ghostly,
so call a halt If finding fault Is what
you're doing mostly. Some men
seem born distressed, forlorn, then
nothing ever pleases; in every cause
they find the flaws, the spavins and
diseases. They kick at. home and
when they roam about the town
theyi grumble, and every talk they
make's a knock, and every step a
stumble. They scare, tbey scowl,
they hoot, they howl, at every for
ward movement; they hurt the town
and hold It down, and balk at each
Improvement. There is a trail of
woe and wall where'er they've galli
vanted; the booster hates such mol
dy skates and thinks they should be
planted. They are a bore, the town
grows sore beneath ' their ' ceaseless
wiggings; the band will play, some
music gay when tbey have skipped
the diggings. Just look around and
note, cogs wound! how much the
grouch is hated, then make a vow to
clear your brow, and keep your bile
abated. So call a halt if finding
fault 1 now your daily pastime; let
out a roar just one time more, and
et that be tin last time!

by a tall, dark, bearded man of
about thirty-five years, who bad hid
den the body in a ditch In a wood
