THE PLAIN-A PR ,PREoY.
BIZ JoAQUIs MILLER

Go We and look upon that land,
That far vast laud that few behoad,
And none beholding uudexstsnd-
That old, old land which men eaa new
Go journey with the seasons through
Its wastes, and learn how lirsftless.
The solemn silence of that plain
Is, oh 30 eloquent. The blue
And Bonded skies seem built feS a.
And all else seems yesterday,
An idle tale but lily told
Its story is of GOO alone,
For man has lived and gone away
And left but httl heaps of stone.
Lo! here you learn how more THAI at
And dignihed is silence when
You hear the petty jeers of men.
Its awful solitudes remain
Thenceforth tor aye a part Of you.
And you have leaT ned your httleaess.
Some silent red men crsss your track
Some sun-tanned trappers oolos and go
Some rolling seas of buffalo
Break thunder-like and far away
Against the foothills, breaking back
Like breakers of some troubled bay;
Some white-tailed antelope blown BY
SO airy-like; some foxes shy
And shadow-tike move to and fire.
Like weavers' shuttles as You pass;
hhN INV suQ buCn 4IOHl Ott VIC 81 uoo
You hear some lone bird cluck sAd can
A sharp keen call for her lost brood,
That only makes the solitude
Seem deeper still, and that is an.
That wide domain Of mysteries
And signs that men misunderstood
land of space and dreams; o land
OF sea-salt lakes and dried-up seas;
land of caves and caravans
And lonely wells and pools q land
That hath its purposes and plans;
That seems so like dead Palestine,
Save that its wastes have no confine
Till pushed against the leveled skies;
A land from out whose depths shall rise
The new-time prophets the domain
From cut whose depths shall come,
All clad in skins, with dusty feet,
A man fresh from his Makers hand,
A singer singing oversweet,
A charmer charming very wise;
And then all men shall not be dumb
Nay, not be dumb, for he shall say,
" Take heed, for prepare the way
For weary feet" and from this land
The Christ shall come when next the race
OF man shall look upon his face.

A Great Sneezer.

The only thing that Earl Russell ever
did greatly was to sneeze. His achieve
ment in that line was thus decribed by
a biographer: "This remarkable man
seemed to concentrate himself for gil
gantic effort, would be bent nearly
double by the force of the explosion,
and would then dive down into the
flaming banner of red silk. from which,
after several minutes observation, he
emerged with q countenance as vivid as
the back iof scalded lobster" The
late Lord Clarendon said, "When
Lord John takes snuff the consequence
brings down the House"

OvERPAID ACToRs.-lt would seem
that some gentlemen of the sock and
buskin are tolerably well requited for
their labors. "Mr. Sothern, for in
stance" says the Boston Advertiser,
has played Lord Dundreary nearly
5000 times, and if he has received upon
an average $4OO for each performance,
this single character has brought him
the enormous sum of S2,000,OO0! Mr..
Jefferson appeared about 1000 times as
Rip Van Wrinkle, and if he received
$500 for each representation (his terms,
when he plays for certainty, are $500,
and when he shares with the manage
ment he often takes s., 900 for half a
dozen performances, he must have &C
quired 81, 900, 900 by this single forum.

MINISTER JAY SUED FOR RENT.-Min-
lister Jay has been sued in Vienna by
his ex-landlord for one years house
rent, having left his house without Civ
ing the years notice which was stipu-
lated in the lease. Mr.. Jay, on being
sued, claimed immunity because he was
the representative of first-class nation,
and pleaded his diplomatic privilege.
When put upon th at ground the house
holder had to confess himself beaten.
All he can do is to wait until the Minis
ter resigns, and then, if caught in Aus
tria, which is not very likely, he can be
brought into court.

REMOVAL OF DRY PUrTY.-According
to an English journal, the difficulty of
removing hard putty from a window
sash can be obviated with great readi-
ness by simply applying a piece of
or other similar implement. When heat
ed Cbut not red-hot), the iron is to be
passed slowly over the putt, thereby
rendering the latter 80 soft that it will
part from the wood without any trouble.

For his gallantry at the siege of Plattsburg.
The inscription told the story. The
old man was seventy-six. He says that
twenty young fellows, only two of whom
were over eighteen, formed themselves
together and offered their services to
the United States General in command
at Plattsburg they were supplied with
some old muskets, and, on the 18th of
September, 1914, in the simple language
of the old man, they did the best they
could" His work was done SO well that
on the 18th of September, 1926, the
musket, with the above inscription, was
given as a tribute of the nations es-

A Highl ander at Sea.

On one occasion Highlander sailed
in the packet from Aberdeen to Gran
ton. II was the first time that Donald
had been on board ship, and the novel
scene interested him greatly. So long
as the vessel was in smooth water he en-
joyea the sail very much, but ere long
squall came on, causing the ship to
pitch and roll in a manner which to
Donald was very alarming. Irritated
by being bumped about, and suffering,
beside, from certain disagreeable sensa-
tions, he made his way to the deck to
find out the cause of the ships bad be-
haxior. Arrived there, he was taking
survey OF the scene, when his eye light
ed on the steersman. The latter did
not work by the wheel, but by the old
fashioned, long-handled, rudder, and,
after cycling his proceedings for min
ute, the cloud of wrath on the High
lander's brow grew black as night.
Ho advanced toward the steersman in
stealthy way, and the instant he was
within reach knocked him dow by q
blow with his fist, exclaiming, as he
did SO, "Tak' that, you villain, for
kittlin' her tail WI that stick, and
maxim her jump !"

A Treasured Muskef.

He was a remarkable-looki old gen.
tleman, and he sat in the waiting-room
of the Central depot with an old-fash-
Toned gun across his knees. To one
who passed him by, in casual way, he
seemed to be hunter on his way to
some wood or field where game was TO
be found. But he who tarried mo-
ment learned that the old gentleman
was one whom the nation had honored
for his assistance in its time of need.
On the stock of the old gun was plate
bearing the words:

THK LITTLE FOLKS.
The ehildren,s Chase.

You remember, Kitty Kyes-
You cannot forget, / know
How VIC chased the butterflies,
Half life ago.
Happy children were we then.
On she Peasham hills at play;
Careless of the tofs of men,
Happy children ali the day.
Think backl We chose the colors bright
Through the fields of waving corn,
Der the slopes and out Of sight
Down the dewy wales between;
Recking not of fases tanned,
Fretted feet, nor frocks' disgrace.
with ready hat IN hand,
laughing, Looping, led the chase;
Kitty, on the breath o. spring.
With shsdow-cssting, flying hair.
Like fairy following
Here and there and everywhere.
Now! the beauty seeming ours,
Eagerly pounee upon
Nothing but forssken flowers:
Far away 1t futters-gonei
Up and after, undisrnayed,
Still We faster, faster run.
Till-ris where the maple shade
Bars our pathway from the sun.
Kitty stops I hear her say,
Answering my quick surprise,
81 at keeping house will play;
You may follow butterflies"
Al, follow, far beguiled-
Eyes but for the glittering thing;
Till it seems as though the child,
Like ms hope, has taken wing.
Comes a whisper lightly straying:
Round that maple-shaded spot
Other little ones are playing
Kitty's children are they not:
He who chased the butterflies
In the play fields of his birth.
Still Is chasing butterflies
Der the deserts Of the earth;
But-he hopes to he once more.
When the years have done their best
Ard the weary race Is DER,
On the Peachaa hills at rest.

The Footprints of Time.

Wrinkles are the first tell-tales of
lost youth, and the wrinkles make their
way in very stealthy manner. At first
there comes faint marking of one little
line about the corner of the eye, and one
at each side of the mouth. Assuredly
it is the sign of approaching age, we
say complacently, looking at ourselves
in the glass, conscious of our attrac-
tons in the perfection of their mctuIity.
That little line, indicative of the fur
rowed future, is no more age than the
one scarlet leaf of the maple in the
midst of the green wood in autumn.
1t is the shadow of the herald if you
will but it is not the real thing. And
so on with all the rest. But it is not 80
with our friends. The gap made be-
tween the past and present by years of
absence is abrupt, unexpected. You
left a blooming, sleek-haired, SLIM
wasted girl; you find faded, hollow
eyed, gray-haired woman, the mother
of children, afflicted with bad health and
tired of life. Or you encounter stout
and florid matron whose bulk is bur-
den to herself and matter not for ad-
miration to her friends whose early
shyness has worn off and gives place to
free-apd-easy good nature that may
be genial but is vulgar whose girllsh
sentimentality has gone with her bushes,
and who now openly proclains her de-
votion to champagne and lobster salad
as among the few things in life worth
taking trouble for, and talks of the
pleasure of the palate as superior to
every other enjoyment. To be sure,
pairing away in your minds eye those
superhuous layers of flesh, you can
make out the nose of the past, and the
lips have the same curve as hers had in
the days when you would have given a
months salary for a kiss the eyes are
the same color, but what has become of
their sparkle ? Where is that roguish
twinkle that made your heart leap when
it flashed upon you, giving point to q
girlish sauciness that was so innocent
and she thought SO naughty? Where
is that dewy, downcast look that was SO
conscious where there was nothing to
blush for? Is it that ugly leer which
tells of less tenderness of sentiment
than you would like to see In a man
You must accept this as the " survival"
it is all you will have of the sweetness,
the bashfulness that once seemed to
you the most exquisite grace on earth.
