HER "CHRoMo. THE Chief of Po-
lice of Detroit, was visited by sharp
nosed, keen-eyed woman who carried a
chrome 1oxI4 in size, in her hand, and
who placed it before him and asked:
care you a judge of chromios and oil
paintings?"
''Well, l can tell what suits me, he
replied.
"Can you tell one from the other p
eyes, m"
"And what do you call this -
"That is a chrome" He wanted to
say that it was the worst one he ever saw
but he didn't.
"Now, you are sure, are you :" she
asked.
"Certainly l am. ."
"Well, that makes me feel good
deal better. l bought that yesterday
of an agent for chronic and he had
scarcely left the house when some ofthe
neighbors came in and said he had
swindled me, and that it was nothing
but an oil painting. l thought I'd
bring it down and get your opinion,
and you say it's chronic, do your"
"I do"
"Allright-thanks. I've always been
an enthusiastic patron of art, and if that
man had got four dollars out of me on
false pretences it would have kind O. set
me up against the old masters. If the
neighbors stick to it that this isn't a
chronic I'll tell 'em to come and ask
you."

POETRY
SCHOOL-DAYS.

Once more by mount and meadow side,
The merry bells are ringing,
Once more by vale and river wide
The school-room doors are swinging;
Forgotten books win pensive looks,
And states come forth from cover,
For hand in hand to lesson-land
Go little lass and lover.
Vacation hours were full of joy,
Vacation skies were cherry;
Yet days which pleasant tasks employ
Are neither dull nor dreary.
The rythmic beat along the street
OF feet that dance in walking
Give witness true that three times two
Is better fun than talking.
What need of bliss were ours, my friend,
If we, like these, were able
Our cares and discOntents to spend
In vanquishing n table
If we could be so light and free
Amid our garnered pleasures,
AS these who sweet the tale repeat
Of runic weights and measures
All! children dear, our later days
Have brought us wise amounting;
We see in all your sunny ways
The Fathers kind appointing.
Your morning bell is ours as we'll
We go to school to Duty,
Whose brow severe from year to year
Wears fadeless wreaths of beauty.
