livery Year
The spring has less of brightness
Every year,
And the scow a ghastlier whiteness,
Every year;
Nor So summer's flowers quicken
Nor autumn's fruitage thicken
As they once did, for we sicken
Every year.
It is growing darker, colder,
Every year,
As the heart and soul grow older,
Every year.
I care not now for dancing,
Or for eyes with passion glancing,
Love Is less and less entrancing
Every year.
Of the loves and sorrows blended,
Every year:
Of the joys of friendship ended,
Every year:
Of the ties that still might bind me
Until the time of death resigned me,
My Infirmities remind me,
Every year.
Oh : how sad to look before us,
Every year,
■While the cloud grows darker o'er us
■ Every year;
When we see the blossoms faded.
That to bloom we might have aided
And immortal garlands braided,
Every year.
To the past go morn dead faces,
Every year;
Come no new ones in their places,
Every year,
Everywhere the sad eyes meet us.
In the evening's dusk they greet us,
And to come to them entreat us,
Every year.
'•You are growing old' 1 they tell us,
■■Every year:
"You are more alone," they tell us.
"Every year,
You can win no new affection.
You have only recollection.
Deeper sorrow and dejection.
Every year."
Thank God : no clouds are shifting.
Every year,
O'er the land to which we're drifting.
Every year.
No losses there will grieve ns,
Nor loving faces leave us,
Nor death of friends bereave us,
Every year.
—Albert Pike.
Tlie True Gentleman
Ho is above a low act. He cannot
stoop to commit a fraud. He invades
no secret in the keeping of another. He
takes selfish advantage of no man's
mistakes. He is ashamed of inuendoes.
He uses no ignoble weapons in contro
versy. He never stabs in the dark. He
is not one thing to a man's face anil an
other to his back. If by accident he
comes into possession of his neighbor's
counsels, he passes them into instant
oblivion. He bean sealed packages
without tampering with the wax. Pa
pers not meant for his eye, whether
they flutter In at his window, or lie
open before him in unguarded exposure
are secret to him. Ho profanes no pri
vacy of another however the sentry
sleeps. Bolts and bar*, locks and keys,
bonds and securities, notices to tres
passers, are not for him. He may be
trusted out of sight—near the thinnest
partition — where. He buys no of
fice, he sells none', intrigues for none.
He would rather tall of his rights than
win them through dishonor. He will
eat honest bread. Ho tramples on no
sensitive feelings. He insults no man.
If he has a rebuke for another he is
straightforward, open and manly. He
cant ot descend to scurrility. Billings
gate does not lie on his track. Of wom
an, and to her, be speaks with decency
and respect. In short, whatever he
judges honorable he practices toward
everyone. He is not always dressed in
broadcloth. '.Some people,' says a dis
tinguished bishop, 'think a. gentleman
iQo:ms a man of independent fortune
■i man who fares sumptuously every
day: a man who need not labor for his
bread. None of these makes a gentle
man—not one of them—cor all of them
together. 1 have known men of the
roughest exterior who had been used
all their lives to follow the plow and to
look after horse?, as thorough gentle
men in heart as spy nobleman who ever
wore a ducal coronet. I mean, I have
known them as unselfish, I have known
them as truthful. I have known them
as sympathizing; and all these qualities
go to make what I understand by the
term a gentleman 1 "
"It is a uobie privilege which has
been sadly prostituted; ami what I
want to gay is, that the humblest man
who has ihe coarsest work to do. yet. if
his heart be tender, pure and true, can
be. in the most emphatic seu-e of the
word, 'gentleman.' "—The Christian
Statesman.

Vice-President Henry Wilson ml Mop
ping at this hotel. He always came to
me to have his hair ci't and dressed,
and occasionally to shave him. But he
usually shaved himself, and I honed his
razors.
"The Vice-President came to me one
morning with two razors that he want
ed honed by two o'clock that afternoon.
as he expected to leave the city on a
three o'clock train. I took the razors
and laid them on my stand, promising
to have them ready promptly on time.
"It happened that all of my time was
taken up that morning by an unusual
rush of business, so that noon came and
the razors had not been touched. I
called another barber,named Campbell,
and told him to hone the razors very
lightly and hand them hack as soon as
he could. Campbell took the razors,
but disregarded my instructions and
honed them his own way. II"' brought
them to me just a few minutes before
the Vice-President called for them. He
handed me a dollar bill and thanked
me for my promptness.
'•About two weeks later the Vice-
President came to me with his razors
and (said that he wanted me to hone
them myself and nut give them to any
other barber as I had done on the pre
| vioci occasion. Then I told a lie. I
told him that I honed those razors my
self.
••He said: 'Henry, don't 11* to me. I
knew as soon as I need thos-e razors
| that you had not honed them. It is use
lera to lie to me about it. It never pays
to lie. Henry, It never pays to lie.'

For Tired I'i-ri
Standing is a tiresome exercise, even
when one stands properly upon tne
balls ol ihe feet, and no one stands
more than does the housewife. She
should sit when it is possible. There
are dishes that she can wash wl
ting. Money spent for a high stool for
this purpose is wisely invested. Hut
where she m'Jst stand the weariness is
relieved if she stands upon a mat,which
[s more yielding than the floor. A mat
for the sink, a mat for the Ironing
and a mat before the kitchen range will
make life brighter for the woman who
j must be on her feet a great part of the
i day. These mats can be ma
I the thicker the better. Take corn
; husks—if they are dry moisten them
I enough to make pliable—and braid
i them into long strands. When they
are braided make them into ma:-, be
ginning at the center to wind
■ holding the strands together by Se\\ Ing
them with twine carried by a long,
i heavy needle. If one mat is fouud too
thin to give relief, two or more can
easily be sewed togi ther. It Is ■
to take care of oneself if oce does work
in the kitchen.

Turning the Joke
The late Senator John .T. Ingalls is
described by the Brooklyn Eagle as
having- had a quaintly poetic method,
of thought and a wonderful flow of
language which gave a charm to all his
conversation. He also had a ready
wit which enabled him to avoid many
unpleasant visitors. In spite of all his.
resourcefulness, however, a clever
young reporter proved himself a match
for the versatile Senator.
One day David Lewsley, a bright
young Irishman employed as reporter
for a Washington newspaper, was sent
to interview Senator Ingalls on a mat
ter of grave national importance. Be
fore calling at the Senator's home Lews
ley visited a barber and was shaved
and had his hair combed.
The Senator, who divined the pur
pose of the reporter's call and did not
wish to talk on that subject, came into
the reception-room with his watch in
his hand.
"I can give you just fifteen minutes,"
he said. "What can Ido for you?''
Lewsley put his question squarely,'
but the Senator answered after the tra
ditional Yankee fashion by putting an
other.
"Young man," said he.noticing Lews
ley's sleek appearance,' "do you shave
yourself?"
"No sir."
"You ought to," Senator Ingles as
serted. ''Every man ought to shave
himself." Then, in that delightful way
of his, he set forth the many advan
tages enjoyed by the man who is hi»
own barber. He enlarged upon the.
economic benefits in time and money to
be derived from shaving one's self. He
delivered a dissertion on the esthetic
phase of the case,' after which he de
scended to the practical details, told
Lewsley what razors he considered the
best, and highly recommended a cer
tain kind of soap. Then, still holding
his watch in his hand, he said:
'"I see I have exhausted my time.
You will have to excuse me now."
And with a twinkle in his eve the
Senator bowed his caller out.
The next morning the leading article
in Lowslej's paper was an attractively
displayed report of this interview,
Lewsley's wonderful memory made it
possible for him to reproduce the Sen
ator's entertaining discourse almost
verbatim, at least so nearly so that In
gall's himself marveled at it, and told
many persons that, although the re
porter had not taken a single note, ho
had reported him more accurately than
most stenographers did.
This clinched the mutter so that the
Senator could never deny the inter
view afterward. Then Lewsley sent a
copy of the paper to the manufacturer,
of the soap which Senator Ingall's had
so enthusiastically praised, and for
months and months the Senator had to
grin and bear the sight of his own face
accompanied by his own words in
broadcast advertisements of that shav
ing soap. „
He was, however, frank enough to
admit that the joke, which he intended
to play on the reporter, had been clev
erly turned back on'himself.

«Hklliiurtoll Fir I!-;. at St. Lou ill
The Grays Harbor, Commercial Co.,
says a Cosmopolis dispatch, has at last
secured the monster log that, like a
huge whale, has been sporting around
the harbor. This log is spruce, twen
two-feet long by eleven feet at the butt.
It was cut by Elaine & Davenport', on
the Humptulips river. The steamer
Montesano took it in tow and had diffi
culty in getting it across the flats.
A storm drove it seaward, and after
some difficulty it was found and towed
to Cosmopolis. It took two men two
days to cut off seven feet and prepare it
for the saw.
It will goto St. Louis in six large
boards,eleven feet wide and four inches
thick. It is believed to be the largest
log in Western Washington and will be
brought to the Lewis and Clark Fair at
Portland next year.
A woman attorney recently told a
New York professional that in every
law case- woman is either the motive,
the instrument or the victim. The au
thor of this interesting theory declares
that "the field for the woman lawyer is
the finding of the woman in the case."'
But mere men sometimes succeed in
doing that. The thing that really
bothers them—and here, perhaps
woman lawyers could help—is to know (
what to do with her after they have
found her.
