Autumn.
Written for THE EVENING STAR

Written Tor THE EVENING STAR
summer has flown with her attendant traini
Her silver-brede no more Arachne weayes:
The swallows brood has left the shingied caves.
And advent Autumn has commenced his reign.
No more Is heard the plalntive robins strain.
Nor chirps the Katydid among the leaves:
But through the rpened mast the sad wind
grieves
And suilen sfreamlets murmur DER the plain
The somber fields lament their rayishsd grain
And Inverted woods have dotted their yerna,
dress;
The sumachs wave their cressets In the breeza.
Eserays OF ferns bedeck the silent leas:
But, ali! the saddensd hills smile less and Iess
And scarcely heed the waning SUMS caress

''Where do you want to gO?"

''Well, let's go down street and walk around

''Oh, pshaw, my dear, that's business, and

The air is warm and balmy vet,
The meadows still are green:
But Autumn's royal seal is set
Upon the smiling scene.
For lOOkl along the wayside nod
The tossing plumeS or golden-rOd.
It seems but yesterday we found
The Mayflower on the hills;
And gayly were the gardens crowned.
With June'S first da1odils.
We thought t was yet the opening year
All, golden-rod, what brings you heret
We had so many things to DO
That scarcely are begun
Say not that harvesting Is through.
And Summer days all donel
With winged sandals were they shod.
And fed when you came, gOlden-rod.

They Are Ton Deck, Again.

From the Providence Press
Some Of the peculiar people are noticed at the
theater again this season. They include the man
who drops his program regularly from the bal
cony to the parquet; the woman who always
lays her head on her male companions shoulder
when she laughs at anything funny In the play;
the man who tells his neighbor about what is
coming-he's seen the play before; the woman
who annoys the person on the seat back Of her
by constantly moving her head from side to side;
the man who stands up and very deliberately
removes his oyercOat In the most interesting
part of the dramatic man with squeaking boots
who comes in late, walks with q good deal Of
emphasis down to the front row OF seats; the
man who laughs 80 loud a. to remind me OF an
earthquake; and last, but not least, the baby
who is sometimes too small to be seen out, put
always large enough to be heard

Autumn.

Once more the liberal year laughs ous

Her brow is bright with autumn leaves

Cox was sentenced to a months i'm
prisonment at Rutland, Vt, for selling
alcoholic beverages. but had the alter
native Of paying II fine instead at any
time within twcnty-four hours. He re-
fused to pay for his liberty until he
found that, rs prisoner he must part
with his beard, which reached to his
waist, and had been twenty-five years
growing. The warden said it was then
too late, and ordered the barber to do
his duty. Cox was held fast and his
face roughly shaved, without using any
lather or first clipping off the whiskers
with the scissors. He caught cold and
nearly died, rs u consequence of this
treatment. He sued for damages, and
two trials have resulted in verdicts of
heavy amounts against the warden; but
each time there was an informality,
and third jury will hear the case.
