When the city voted to paffici- pate in the good work and appropriat- ed $300 for the Lake street grounds, it was a wise decision, for the idea has gotten beyond the stage of belng a sentimental fad. The child's right to play is the clarion note of the century,” says the National Monthly. “No more signifi- cant movement than the recognition of the child's right to play has taken place in the twentieth century. The establishment of city playgrounds is an enlightened investment whose re- sults will be gained not today or to- morrow, but far In the future. They will develop strong children who must ass on the gift of life to the geners ns come, The development of the faculties makes good citizens and o other school is development so ne ble as in ne where play s wisely directed .1t is the basic prin- k he kindergarten, it should be the care of ple in children in all communities.

Her heart sank. There was a long, unpeinted wooden bullding, which she afterward learned was a cotton fac- tory. She could hear the harsh clack, clack, clack-i-clack of the looms. Around the mill were several dozen small houses, all alike, and_all with- out shade trees or yards. She looked eagerly for a mansion, with piazzas and lawn, but there were only the un- painted factory tenements, with two or three buildings in the midst of them which might be stores or offices. It seemed unutterably dreary and lonesome, and Mary Hutchinson turn- ed longingly toward the train which was disappearing in the distance. Could there be a mistake? She drew a letter from het pocket and_reread it perplexedly. “Sistér Mary—Since you have lost your money, 1 suppose You avill have %o come and live with me. But It was a very foolish thing for you to indorse a note, even for your own nephew. I had refused him, and even turned him from my house. “I do not think e rou will like it here, though the house is large and the vil- age prelty. You were always a great hand for voung people. and we do not allow any on the grounds; thev make too much noise and dirt. Mavbe we can find enough for you to do about the house to keep you from getting lonesome. Do not bring any cats or dogs or birds, Your sister, “ELIZABETH.” It was not a cordial letter, and Mary Hutchinson's lips trembled a little as she returned it to her pocket. Besides her graceless nephew, Elizabeth was the only relation left. The station master was dragging | mer trunk across the platform. Can you tell me where Mrs, Hutch- inson lives?’ she asked. No'm, nobody o' that name in these parts. I know every fambly for ten miles 'round.” Isn't this Blackler 2 No'm," he replied, “it's Blakel Blackler's forty miles further on.” She drew a long breath. ‘“When is the next train?"

Mary asked, as she went inside. “Well, no; not so very low. He's gettin' better slowly. The doctor says he'll begin to sense things in a week or ten da But it's a nice place to stay, an’ 1 know yoa'll like Mr. Far- rar. Why, law say!” at the look the other's face, “do you know him “I—I—no, not this man. But I used many years ago. That one is dead. The—the name just startled me for a moment.” But when she went into the sick room the startled look again returned to her face, and was succeeded by pallor and 'that by quiet gentleness and solicitude, The house seemed full of books, they were in every room, and some of them even she looked at with awe. Thev all showed marks of much use, as well as loving care. The old man’s hands were rough and callowed, but for all that he was evidently a scholar. As the days went by his eves began to follow her as she moved softly about the room, contented and loving- ly at first, then with a questioning wistfulness, as though the clouded mind were striving to grasp some- thing it could not quite reach. He did not speak; he only gazed at her and passed his hand across his brow from time to time as though to clear his brain ; Then came a morning when he was strong enough to sit up in bed; but 1l the wistfulness and wonder re- mained in his eyes, and mingled with them now was a certain resignation. Presently he motioned Mary to his side, You are the new “Yes: “I knew it, of course, but I haven't said anything. I thought as I got stronger my mind would get better, but it doesn't—I—I am afraid it is getting worse.” Mary stroked his hand gently. “You can not get well all at once, Mr. Far- rar” ghe chided. “You have been very slak, you know. But you are growing stronger gradually, and your brain is becoming cleurer. I can see % nurse?” he sa?. You do not understand.” he an- swered. “My body's stronger, but m mind doesn’t seem to gain. It made you out to be somebody else from the first, and has stuck to the idea ever since. I've looked in other directions and changed my thoughts to other things, but it's no use. “You've taken care of me, so my | mind says you're somebody I used to know a long time ago, who's dead. I suppose it's what folks call second childhood. I—I—" He pased sudden- ly, for there was a wonderful light in her face, which brought comprehen- a home where | sion and a rapt look to his own. “Mary—Mary!” he faltered, “is it you, alive—darling?" Yes, Tom,” softly, “It's Mary They—they told me you were dead.” He lay gazing at her for a long time silence. At length he reached out s hand contentedly. “You will stay with me always now, Mary?” he asked. ry long—" Smiles and tears mingled as she an- ered: “I'm going to stay, Tom, and you'll live to see a hundred, sure.”—8St. Lou- is Globe Democrat “It can not be for IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN Without discussing: the | it, T should like merely to the curious way in which earth is paid for. hilosophy of | emark upon work on this and the well, including all the figures and smailest deta described by the | great poet.” I venture to say he never got a hundred lire for it | " Did the patient genius that made { the Strasbourg clock, with its infinite mechanism of marching apostles and | the ltke, die a millionaire? | I knew a man who worked hard all | 5 life until he grew old and had the | amps and went to the poorhouse. | | "1 know another man who rises late, to his office in an automobile, | over his mail and a few other | papers, smokes three cigars, and then Zoes to his club for lunch, and after- wards out to play: and he receives forty thousand dollars a year.

The president was personally attacked and abused to the verge of dangerous appeal to weak and lawless minds.— Meriden Record, There have been repeated demonstra- tions of late that the patrol of the Pacific coast to prevent smuggling is inadequate.
