, for a "sleepless night" so we recall 1t here;
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure dome decree
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless TO man,
Down to q sunless sea.
So twice five miles OF fertile ground
With walls and towers were girded round;
And there were gardens, bright with sinuous rllls
Where blossomed many an Incensc.5earing treei
And here were forests ancient as the hills
Unfolding sunny spots of greenery.
But that deep romantic chasm, which slanted
Down tho green hill athwart cedarn covert

AS e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
BY woman wailng for her demon lover
And from this chasm with ceaseless turmoil seeth.

AS If this earth in fast thick pants breathing
mighty fountain momently forced,
Amid whose swift, half Intermitted burst
Huge fragments vaulted like reboundIng hall
Or chafy grain beneath the thresher's fail;
And mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
1t flung up momently the sacred river.
Five miles, meandering with may motion
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran
Then reached the caverns measureless TO man,
And sank In tumult to a lifeless ocean,
And mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
Ancestral voices prophesying war.
The shadow Of the dome of pleasure
FIoated midway on the waves
Where was heard the mingled measure
From the fountain and the caves.

And ON her dulcimer she played,

Gould revive within me
Her symphony and song,
To such deep delight 'twOuld win me
That, with music loud and long,
would build that dome In air
That sunny dome those caves OF ice
And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry; Beware beware

Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on hOney.dew hath fed,

SALT WATER ETIouETTF

Most every one in Washington knows
Judge Pat Hawes, of Nebraska. The
judge is genial pleasant fellow, and
though having worn for years the judicial
ermine, is not whit like the average
jurist-stern, stolid ard Indifferent. On
the contrary he is, to use common
phraze, lone Of the boys" One day the
judge, by way of escaping the heat of the
city, lied him to Ocean City, where he
INDUCED in salt water baths 60 his hearts
content. The second day after his or,
rival he put on his handsome spangled
bathing suit, and was the object of ad
mIration of all the other bathers. He
cavorted around in the water with the
agility of cat, and many compliment
AIRY remarks were made about the judges
excellent swimming qualities. Two OF
three gentl men who the judge new were
duoked by him, and they all took it good
natu'edly, by aud by the judge espied
n handsome lady who would balance the
scales at 100. Going gently up behind
her be caught the Lady around the waist,
and with tremendous effort threw her a
half somersault.
The lady remained und.r the water
about half a minute. When she came up
and wiped the water from her eyes SIZE
turned toward the judge aud poured a
torrent OF ahnse upon him. The Judge
apologiz the best he could and walked
away. lie had gone over near his male
friends, who had stood of Tor some dis
tapce Witnessing the circus business lo-
tween the fat lady and the judge, when
another gentleman came up and tapping
the eminent jurist on the shoulder said
"Sir, you ducked that lady over there. A"
"Yes, sir, said Judge Hawts, Il did. "
'But," said the gentleman, "do you
know her?"
mo indeed, ! never saw her in my
life" responded Judge Hawes.
Don't you thing you assumed a great
deal in catching hold of lady whom you
never saW?'
1T never occurred to me that / had
Committed au iudiscretion. l saw the
other fellows ducking the girls and /
thought l would follow suit" quickly
sposs up the man whose judicial ermine
had hryer been spoiled.
"Sir," ,xcitedly said the gentleman,
'you owe that Lady an apology"
Il just apologiztd to her" said the
judge, "but sue wouldn't accept it,"
"Then you owe me an apology"
"All right" said the judge, II most
humbly ask the pardon OF both you and
your lady friend, but T. N Westerner and
III be banged il knew anything about
your salt water etiquette" saying which
the party broke mp, oil hands being ap-
psTently satisfied Washington Critic.
