A Prose Poem.

Softly the moon shed its silvery ligh:
upon the evening air.
The difference between goose and
the moon is that the goose sheds feath-
ers. This is less romantic, probably,
but good goose feathers are worth
seventy cents pound more or less.
They stood beneath the silent stars,
Arthur and Evangeline; not the goose
and the moon. She in the glory OF
Young womanhood, and he in q fifty
dollar suit of clothes.
1t is astonishing what trust tailors
put in manhood.
"Oh, Arthur" she sighed, ''let us flee
from thit place; from the wrath 0! an
angry father and the torturing taunts
of mercenary mother"
At this season, she should have said
'let us mosquito from this place, etc. ;"
but n young woman in love can't tell
flee from mosquito, and we must not
ccnsure too severely.
"Ah, Evangeline, would that 1t were
possible"
"But it Is possible, Arthur. We can
fly beyond tho sea, the deep blue sea,
which lies between us and happiness,
and beneath the sunny skies Of Italy in
tho dolce far nieDte of that lotus land,
we may build about us q beautiful
palace, whose foundation shall be love,
and whose superstructure shall be the
perfection of earthly bliss.
The girl had spent all her chewing
gum money on ten-cent novels, and all
her time playing Pauline In an amateur
dramatic club.
"Ah, darling, the picture you paint is
too lovely for realization" he walled.
Of course he knew sho painted. Any
fellow can tell that when he gets close
to girl.
"Why, loveP On, Arthur, whyP"
Because. dearest" he agonized
clear down to the knees OF his pants,
al haven't money enough to buy
tickets across the briny, and the walk
ing on that road calls for gum shoes,
which 1 am also unable to put up col
laterals for, during the present de-
pressed condition OF trade

parted forever Merchant Traveller.
