THE OLD COOTTEY BAND.
t mean the band of olden time , when you and I were boys ;
When music , to be sweet to us , must drown all ether noise.
When martial airs entranced our oars , and every feeling fired ;
When uniforms with golden braid were all our hearts desired.
%
Oh , how those fellows marched about on every holiday !
The town folks stood upon their steps , the country folks , discreet ,
The "Square" was filled with music sweet , the streets with bright array :
With horses prancing to the tunes , drove up some other street.
The boys ? Well , you can easy guess we shall not try to hide it ,
Whenever that old band was out , we fellows marched beside it
We kept the step the bandmen did , and kept It quite as well ,
And always held our corner up when it was time to yell.
Perhaps they made some discords perhaps the side horns blew
About three times as strong and loud as they by right should do ;
Perhaps the cymbals didn't clang exactly with the base ,
Perhaps the "B-flats" missed some notes and tooted out of place.
v
But what cared we when we were boys ? to 'our uncultured breast
"The Girl I Left Behind Me" was as goocj as Sousa's best ;
Our little backs would straighten up , our thoughts would soar away
The acme of our earthly bliss to play a horn some day.
I've heard full many bands since then , and paid to get a seat ;
I've heard them play their loudest airs and softly , sadly sweet ;
But never has my being thrilled with rapture more .complete
Than when I heard old country baud go marching down the street.

OING to have more snow before

casting a weather wise look
around.
A lively boy and a still more lively
girl were frolicking In the snow near
the weather-prophet.
"Josephus , " Mr. Maitland called to
the boy , "you take the sled up to the
wood tot' and bring down a jag of
wood. Go right away , so as to be back
early. "
"All right , sir , " and Josephus started
at once to hitch Old Trusty to the
woodsled. He stopped the sled at the
kitchen door to get the dinner-basket ,
and there stood Cousin Laura , fully
equipped for a sleigh ride.
"Here is the dinner-basket and there
Is enough in it for two , " she said. "And
here are'your skates ; I have mine un
der this shawl. I am to skate on the
lot pond , wherever that Is , while you
are loading the wood , and If you work
fast you may have time to do a little
skating yourself. "

THEUE WAS A CHEAT CRASH.
"And don't waste any time about get
ting back if it begins to snow hard.
And be careful of Danger Bend going
and coining. "
"That sounds interesting Danger
Bend ! Tell me about it , Joe , " said
Laura , as they sped along over the
hard-packed snow.
"It is Interesting , rather. I'll show it
to you when we get there. "
The road led uphill almost from the
start , for Maitland farm lay in the
valley of a little river that ran near
the house , and the wood lot was well
up among the hills.
"There's Danger Bend. What do you
think of it ? " said Joe at last , stopping
the horse and pointing to the road be
fore them.
In its many turnings the road had
left the river out of sight ; here it had
suddenly come back to it. Far below
them , at the foot of a long , steep slope ,
Laura saw the glistening ice of the
frozen stream. It was to save itself
from falling into the river that the
road crept around Danger Bend. It
had come , in the course of a steep as
cent , to the very edge of the downward
slope ; now , to get away from this , it
made a sharp and sudden turn around
the spur of a hill , and then kept on its
upward course farther Inland.
The track about the Bend was nar
row , and now it was glassy with ice ,
and there was not the slightest barrier
between It and the edge of the descent
to the river. The journey upward was
bad enough , but to come down that icy
track with a heavily laden sled seemed
Impossible.
"Hold on hard , now , and in two min
utes you can see how Danger Bend
looks from the uphill side , " said Joe ,
when the terrors of the situation had
been sufficiently enjoyed.
The passage was made In safety , 1
and Laura decided that the Bend look
ed evea worse than before. Tien she
forgot all about it in the presence of a
grievous disappointment.
"You may be .able to do a little skatIng -
Ing on the lot pond , but I shan't ! " Joe
exclaimed dolefully. "Look here , and
here ! "
He held before his dismayed com
panion the black sleeve of his coat and
then a fold of her gray shawl. Both
were thickly powdered with fine white
crystals.
"It means business when It comes
lowu this way , " Joe remarked , wtth
some excitement. "We have two" miles
toft yet , a load of wood to put on ,
to get back home before the road
, _
* t
' t
drifts full. I'll have to hustle , that's
all. Go on , Trusty ! "
The old horse knew what was ex
pected of him and went forward In fine
style ; but before they reached the en
trance to the wood lot they were en
veloped In a dense cloud of falling
snow , and the wind had risen to what
Laura considered a gale.
"Don't you think we had better go
right back , Joe , " she suggested dubi
ously. "You know what your father
said about the snow ? "
"Yes , I remember , but it won't be
wasting time to get what I was sent
after. And I think I see myself going
back empty-handed after I've come all
the way to the woodpile ! Not much ! "
"Then I'm going to help you load.
No skating for me this day. There's
too much snow on the Ice , anyhow. "
In the deep shelter of the woods they
found the snow falling less rapidly and
the force of the wind was effectually
broken. But as soon as they left the
woods with their load they realized
that the storm had increased to fury.
All space seemed filled with falling
snow , and already deep drifts had be
gun to form in the road.
For a time old Trusty made his way
bravely , but the drifts grew deeper as
he went along and the strength of the
faithful animal began to fail. Pres
ently Joe was forced to admit that the
difficulties of the way had become des
perate. At the top of a steep hill he
stopped the sled and jumped off into
the snow.
"I'm going to walk down here , " ho
said , trying to laugh. "You may ride
around Danger Bend if you want to ,
but I wouldn't advise you to. Not this
time. "
"Danger Bend ! I had forgotten all
about it ! " Laura cried in dismay , and
she scrambled hastily down to safety
In the deep snow.
The perilous descent was begun with
fear and trembling. At first progress
was slow and difficult , for they had to
flounder through drifts as deep as any
they had encountered ; but very soon
the descent became dangerously easy.
Joe was a good driver , and he did his
best to cheer and encouragepoorTrusty ,
but on that treacherous ice , and with
a heavy load puslnng him downhill , no
horse could keep a sure footing and at
the same time guide his load safely
around the perilous promontory.
Laura , toiling along behind the sled ,
heard a wild shout from Joe , then a
sound of slipping and scrambling on
the ice , and then the load of wood sud
denly disappeared from before her.
Next there was a great crash , followed
by a loud cry from the young driver.
Trusty had fallen , the loaded sled had
shot forward toward the edge of the
river slope and there it had struck
against the trunk of a great tree that
stood in Its way. Trusty , a helpless
victim of the force behind him , had
barely missed the tree. The shock of
the collision had broken every strap
of the harness and he was liberated.
Laura realized what was happening
[ ust in time to see the poor old horse
slide head foremost into the great drift
that had formed beside the tree , and
to see Joe slipping and sliding over the
Ice to his assistance. But Joe was too
late. Laura , screaming in terror for
both boy and horse , made her way to
the wrecked sled. She was just in
time to see Trusty emerge on the other
side of the snow barrier and go plow
ing downward toward the frozen river.
In breathless dismay they watched
his progress to what they were sure
was certain death. But the snow on
the steep slope was deep and soft , and 1
Trusty slid forward slowly until he {
reached the bottom. There he struggled
1
gled to his feet , apparently unharmed , (
shook himself and then started on a
brisk trot along the ice for home. His
two deserted passengers looked at each
other and laughed hysterically.
"It's no laughing matter. I can tell
you ! " said Joe soberly the next mo
ment "Three miles from home and
every foot of the road drifted so deep
tha a man ten feet tall couldn't wade
through ! Trusty might have got us
out of the scrape , but how we are to
get ourselves out without wlugs I can't
sea/ *
I . - - . - f'
"I can ! ' ' Laura declared with en
thusiasm. "We must do as Trusty did ,
go by the river. We 'have our skates ,
and the wind has kept the ice clear of
the snow. Hurrah ! We'll have some
skating after all. Joe ! "
"That might do if we were down
there , but how are we to get down ?
The snow Is as deep on the slope as
anywhere else , and even without the
snow we couldn't do it ; the bank is
too steep. "
"Do as Trusty did , slide down ! He
made a track on purpose for us all the
way. What's the use of a bob-sled if
we can't slide down hill on it ? Pitch
that wood off into the snow , get the
sled over here , ride comfortably down
the hill , put on our skates and go
home ! "
Joe looked at her in speechless ad
miration for an instaut , and then with
out a word he began to work furiously
at the load of wood. In five minutes
the sled was empty , the sound part un
coupled from the broken half , and ev
erything ready for the adventurous rldo
that Laura had suggested. It was a
swift and breathless flight that they
took down that long , steep hill.
But they did not exult for long. The
river had its perils as well as the road.
As the skaters swept round a sharp
bend they were confronted by an enor
mous drift , which the driving wind
had piled on the ice against the ob
structing hillside. The drift was far
too deep and wide for them to make
their way through It and too soft and
yielding for them to climb over It ; and
it appeared to stretch the entire width
of the stream.
. _
- - - r3
Joe and Laura struck across toward
the opposite bank , hoping to round the
end of the obstacle there , but they were
met by a still more discouraging ob
struction. The river just here was nar
row and swift , so swift that no ice
had formed on the side they had come
to. The snow-drift ended abruptly at
the edge of deep , fast-flowing and very
cold water.
"Take off your skates , Laura , " said
Joe in despair. "We may just as well
lie down comfortably in the snow and
freeze right here. Trusty must have
got through somehow , I suppose. * but
the track he made has drifted full al
ready. Hello ! What's that ? Hey ,
there ! Help ! Help ! Help ! "
Men were on the other side of the
drift. Their voices as they shouted
to each other could be heard above the
shrieking of the wind. They shouted
still more loudly now in answer to Joe's
calls.
"That you , Joe ? Are you both all
right ? " That was Mr. Maitland's voice.
"Keep steady for a few minutes and
we'll get at you. We are more than
half through the drift now. "
They dug fast and presently rescuers
and rescued were face to face.
"Joe , you rascal ! Why didn't you
come home when it began to snow , as
I told you to. I was sure we'd find you
with broken bones on the ice at the
foot of Danger Bend , when Trusty got
home by the river with his harness in
strings ! What do you m&an , sir ? "
Mr. Maitland tried to speak fero
ciously , but his attempt was a failure ,
for all of them could see the tears of
joy running down his face.
"Now , don't try to scold ! " Laura
cried , hugging him rapturously. "You
never can , you know. And I wouldn't
have missed that slide downhill for
anything in the world ! " Chicago Dai

BABY'S TEETH.
Importance of Proper Care of First
One * .
Upon the care of the first teeth , de
clares the Washington Times , depends
the beauty and stability of the perman
ent set
Keeping the teeth clean is not the
only requirement. Proper diet means a
good deal.
Sugar and candies should be avoid
ed , not because their immediate con
tact with the teeth is injurious , but
because they frequently produce an
acidity of the stomach which greatly
affects the teeth.
If a child is ill during teething time ,
its system often lacks the necessary
amount of bone-making elements ; and
in such cases a little limewater in the
milk is most beneficial. When it be
gins to take something besides milk ,
plenty of cereals that are rich in bone- <
making elements should be given.
Just as early as possible start train
ing the child in the care of ita own
teeth. Select a tiny toothbrush , soft
and pliant ; use every inducement
even bribery is permissible in this case
to obtain its regular use. Keep this
up until it has become a well-estab
lished habit
At the first sign of decay consult a
dentist To lose the first teeth prema
turely is a pity , as it affects the dura
bility of the second ones.
When the second teeth commence to
appear , a dentist should examine them
at least once a year. Care must be
taken that they are not crowded or
allowed to come in unevenly. In this
way much pain and even later disfig
urement may be avoided.
Teeth have often became blackened
and disfigured beyond redemption by
strong medicines given in childhood.
This seems like criminal carelessness
on the part of the parents ; of course ,
it is only thoughtlessness ; but the
results are just as cruel and far-reach
ing as though a real injury had been e
intended. \
Medicine that may blacken the teeth G
or injure the enamel should alway * be 1c <
given through a glass tube. 1i

easy concentration. The approaching
trials for murder of the labor leaders
in Idaho have made it prudent for the
authorities to retain the entire force of
militia within the limits of the State
ready for any uprising against the legal
authorities. Pennsylvania , Massachu
setts and Ohio already have planned to
have their entire national guard go in
to large State camps , and are unwill
ing to go to the expense of another
samp , in doing which the State author
ities are meeting exactly the sugges
tions of the War Department , which is
2oing to be taxed to the utmost to make
the expected appropriation of $700,000
meet all the expenses of the combined
camps. California reports that the ex
perience of the State troops in guarding
San Francisco and other places devas
tated by earthquake and fire and the
expense to which the State has been put
makes it inexpedient to join in the reg
ular camping. South Dakota reports
that the national guard is not equipped
or uniformed for a season in camp.
" "
A merry war is on in the House be
tween two deserving measures , which
may result in preventing the consider
ation of both at this session. The pure
food bill , which passed the Senate , and
the immigration bill , which has not
been considered in the Senate , occupy
the same position upon the House cal
endar. These two measures , with the
naturalization bill , are in form for con
sideration whenever the Speaker gives
his consent and when appropriation
bills are not claiming the floor. Some
of the leading supporters of the immi
gration bill oppose the passage of the
pure food bill. To prevent its consid
eration at this session they are work
ing to have the immigration bill given
preference. They believe they can ac
complish the double purpose of tem
porarily defeating the pure food and of
securing the passage of the immigration
bill if they are able to prevail upon
the Speaker to recognize them. On the
other hand , the friends of the pure food
bill have primed themselves to rush it
through the House as soon as Mr. Hep
burn is recognized to call it up.
* _ _
Another measure which will be add
cd to the list passed by Congress be
cause of the influence of the President
is the bill to preserve the scenic beauty
of Niagara Falls. The bill as agreed
upon by the House committee admiti
the free use of water for domestic and
sanitary purposes instead of limiting
it to a maximum quantity , as suggesti
ed by the international commission.
William Livingston , president , and oth
er members of the Lake Carriers' Asso-
actiion contend'that this unrestricted
use of water will result in materially
lowering the levels of the lakes as soon
as the Chicago sanitary canal is oper
ating to its full capacity. They esti
mate that with 14,000 cubic feet of
water passing through the canal each
second the levels of Lakes Michigan I
and Huron will be lowered nine inches
and of Lake Huron eight inches. This ,
it is calculated , will decrease the earn
ing capacity of each 10,000-ton boat an
nually $13,500.

The Supreme Court has reaffirmed its
opinion that the duties imposed on
Philippine imports from this country
between the date of the signing of the
treaty of Paris and the enactment of
the tariff law were collected illegally
and that the President lacked power to
impose them , notwithstanding that Con
gress had ratified the previous action.
Justices White and McKenna dissent
ed. The duties to be refunded amount
to about $0,000,000 on claims already
Qled.
Chief Engineer Stevens ; on arriving
from Panama Thursday , said that the
work had reached a point where it
must now be known whether the canal
is to be at sea level or above. He said
that dredges could be gotten cheaper
in Europe , but were hard to get any
where , and cost $350,000 each. It
would take fifteen to twenty years to
complete the work of a sea level canal
and from eight to nine years for a lock
canal. There are now between 15,000
and 10,000 men at work.
