When the mists have rolled in splendor
From the beauty of the hills.
And the sunshine, warm and tender,
Falls in kisses on ON the rills.
We may read Loves shining letter
In the rainbow of the spray;
We shall know each other better,
When the mists have cleared away,
We shall know as we are known,
Nevermore to talk alone
In the dawning of the morning.

II we err in human blindness,
And forget that we are dust

When we struggle to be just;

All the pain that clouds our day.

And the mists have cleared away.
We shall know NJ we are known,
Nevermore TO walk alone,

"I do not think strawberries at

Edward Lester did not deserve

WOmen's and Mems Quarrels.

Two men were walking down the
street arm in arm, followed by two
dogs. The men were talking ap-
parently about women, which Is an
unusual thing, for says one of
them, "Yes, by George, Pm tired
hearing about that fuss; every
time I go home it's dinged into my
ears till / wish was In the Sand

something"
Then the other man eaid that
he "did think that women would
quarrel over the most foolish things

that men did not allow such trivial
affairs to disturb their friendship
as women did, and In fact"
Then there arose such q chorus

how either the world or his tail
wagged so he could bold on, and
