A farm road ran ~diagonally up the hill

"A mule is IA mule. but a woman is muller. 4"
This joke is supposed TO have been brought
from India by the earlier Pelasgian settlers
OF Italy. Tetrarchus Pericodinus, in his an
mails, relates that Caesar, while pausing at tho
brink OF the Rubicon. in an effort TO bulge n
baggage mule which had braced its fore feet
against the ruins OF a Doric temple, was mp
preached by one of his officers, Tedius Sem
p%runius, VIII remarked that his wife was
even more difficult to control than the afore-
said obstinate animal. Caesar, after CURLY
rejoining, "Omnia Gallia est divisa in parties
tres, babe Tedius declare himself, whereupon
the latter said that while a mule was a mule,
yet his wife was muller. Caesar, upon hear
ing this remark, mounted his horse and
made q dash for the other bank. So passed
away the liberties of Rome. Tedius Sem
pronius was subsequently put to death in the
first prescription after having got off the
joke on Marc Antony. The specific charge
against him was an attempt to revive tho
humor of the Tarquins.

My Relations with the Baroness
arc these: She came to New York to learn
the English language, of which she could

the theatre with her occasionally, as other
gentlemen did. She is
AS Pure as the Virgin Mary,

firing, and the attempt to make our rela-
lions different than those of pure friendship
is infamous-ayc, most atrocious. i secured
apartments for Lolita in Paris, as l did for

Some scoundrel could have circulated the
same report about Lolita and me In France,

The Bnby's Prayer.

She knelt with her sweet hands folded,
Her fair little head bowed low,
while dead vines tapped at the window
And the air was thick with snow.
Without, earth dumb with winter;
Within, hearts dumb with care;
And up through the leaden silence
Rose softly the baDy's prayer.
"Dless all whom love, dear Father,
And help me be good" she said;
Then, stirred by a sudden fancy,
She lifted the shining head.
DID che catch on the frozen maple
Some hint Of the April green,
or the breath OF tho woodland blossoms,
The driftsof the snow between2
"Ihe beautiful trees" she whispered,
"Where the orioles used 10 sing,
They are tired 0f the cold, white winter,
on, help them 10 grow In spring.
And the flowers that loved 70 gather,
Lord, bring them again In May
The dear little violets, sleeping
Down deep In the ground to-day"
All, earth may be chill with snownakes
And hearts may be cold with care,
But wastes OF a frozen silence
Are crossed by the baby's prayers
And lips that were dumb with sorrow
In 1ubilant hope may sing,
For when earth Is wrapped IN winter
In the heart OF the Lord It's spring.
