SLIDE BACK !
Backsliding, indeed! 1 can tell
you on the ways most of us go, the
faster we slide back the better.
Slide back into the cradle if going
on is into the grave back, I teU
you, back out of your long faces
and into' your long clothes. It is
among children only and as children
only that you will find medicine for
. your healing and true wisdom for
your teaching. Ruskin. "
The Last Pioneer
Draw closer children all around my
chair .
So that my age-dim eyes can see each
face.
A word is on my lips that each may
share " r
Whom. once as babes I held in fond
embrace
I hear it whisper from yon harvest
field
Now fuller goldened in the setting
sun
And from the orchard in its purpling
yield -
Go to your rest, the, builder's work is
done.
To reap the fruit where he up-turned
the soil
Is not the task that stays the Pioneer
The pathways made and smooth-
ened by his toil
Are for the tendre'r comers - of
The rear.
On far away Atlanta's crowded shore
I fled the air by city's breath de
filed Had still my hands their wielding
Strength of yore
My feet would tread some new
Unconquered wild.
Now things are changed.the crude and
wild must go.
The old-time joys and tasks alike
have fled
The smaller, smiling faces round me
Show . ,
The garden bloom, but not the wild
rose red.
I bless you all, as children should be
blest
Ere full upon me death's dark shad
ow creeps
Then take me simply, silently to rest
Upon yon hillock where your
mother sleeps.
ANDREW FRANZEN.
PINK AND WHITE
Today's drawing shows anoriginal
conceit for a shade hat, wide and
drooping of brim and unencumbered
by superfluous furbelows. This ex-
quistely dainty creation should find
a friend in the girl who serves as her
own milliner. Satin straw in a deli
cate shade of rose was the founda
tion of the hat,- over this was
stretched white dotted sw,iss through
which was a pink satin ribbon tieing
at the back in a fiat bow. What
could be more seasonable or more
becoming, and how easy to make.

Heart to Heart
Talks.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
A ILEAL JEAN VAL JEAN.
Eight years ago a young man call
him Jones was sent to the peniten
tiary for killing a man in a Colorado
mining camp.
It is said Jones did the killing In self
defense. However that may be, he.
became a model prisoner and at the
end of the eight years was paroled,
the terms being ' that he should not
leave the confines of the state.
Jones got a job on a farm.
The farmer knew the ex-convict's
history and took advantage of It, work
Ing the man unmercifully. Jones found
life outside the prison harder than it
had been on the inside and after eight
een months rebelled and quit. He tried
to get a new job.
Remember Jean Val Jean?
Jones discovered, as did Victor
Hugo's hero, that It is diflicult for an
ex-convict to get a Job.
Finally he determined to quit being
an ex-convict. He violated his parole,
assumed another name and went ro
Montana, where he took up a home
stead. Inside of two years Jones, who had
prospered, became a leading citizen of
his' settlement He courted the daugh
ter, of a neighboring farmer, and to
her he told his full story. The girl
promptly accepted him.
Enter Javert.
Remember how that astute officer of
the law hounded Jean Val Jean? A
detective who had been searching for
Jones since he bad violated bis parole
recognized him. -Luckily, however, he
permitted the latter to return to Colo
rado without publicity.
Jones told his story to Warden Ty
nan, who investigated and found It to
be true. What Impressed the warden
more than all else was that Jones had
told the truth to the girl he wanted to
marry.
. Well
Tynan, who figures In this real story
as did M. Myriel, the good bishop of
D. in Hugo's masterpiece, got the pa
role board together. They listened to
Tynan and got out a permanent parole
for Jones, permitting him to live wher
ever he might choose.
The sequel?
The sequel is as fine as any in the
old fashioned story books. Jones has
gone back to Montana and was mar
ried Aug. 1 to the farmer's daughter.
It is predicted he will become almjst
as highly honored .in his new home as
was M. Madeline, the mayor.
And the moral?
He who runs may read.
It Always Works.
"My wife prolonged her vacation un
til I was desperate. She wouldn't
come home. Paid no attention to my
suggestions."
"How did you bring about her re
turn?" "Got one of the neighbors to write
and suggest it casually." Washington
Herald.
