THE POET OF THE FUTURE.
By JAMES wHIrcoMB RILEY.

the poet of the future, He will come to us as
The beauty of the bugle's voice above the roar
of 6rums-
The beauty of the bugles voice above the roaI
OF battle drums that pulse the time the victor
marches in.
His hands will hold no harp, in sooth his lifted
brow will bear
No ccronet OF laureI-nay, nor symbol any
where,
Save that his palms are brothers to the toilers
at the piow,
His face to Heaven, and the dew Of duty on his
brow.
He will sing across the orchard, and the woman
at the well
Will stay the dripping bucket with a smile in
And the children in the orchard will gaze visit
fully the way
The happy song comes to them, with the fra
GRANGE of the hay.
The barn will neigh in answer, a2d the pasture
lands behind
Will chime with bells, and send responsive low
And ali The echoes of the wood will iubilant1y
In sweetest mimicry Of tina. one sweetest voice
OF all.
o the poet OF the future! He will come as man

With the honest arm Of labor, and the honest
The honest heart of Iowiiness, the honest soul
For human kind and nature kind about him and

No coronet of laurel-nay, nor symbol any

Save that his palms are brothers to the toiler'

His face TO Heaven, and the dew Of duty On his

Lamar. the AbSent.minded.

Justice Lamar's Observation-Disclosures
has been the theme of good many
newspaper paragraphs, but the latest
incident of his eccentricity is worth tell
ing. The other day he purchased a
house, and leaving the Office of the real
estate agent with the deed, the abstract
and other papers under his arm, he
started for his home. Getting as far as
Brentano's book store he wondered in,
and placing the roll of documents upon
the counter, was soon immersed in lot
of new books. After spending half
hour or so he purchased copy of the
Political Science Quarterly and
wendell his way homeward. A gentle
man who had met him in the real estate
Office and had noticed that the package
of documents was wrapped in a paper
of peculiar color, visited the bookstore
in the afternoon and happened to notice
the package on the counter. Calling
the attention of one of the clerks to it,
he asked if Justice Lamar had been in
during the day. YES was the reply,
"he has been here quite a while this
morning"
Well" suggested the gentleman,
@he left this package here, and you had
better put it away until he calls for it. p"
A week or ten days passed, and the
gentleman met Justice Lamar on the
street and accosted him, saying: Il see
you have purchased house."
"Yes," was the reply; got good
bargain. Come and see me-"
What have you done with the
deed?"
1T is at my house."
Are you sure?"
Certainly; carried it home the day
the purchase was consummated."
The gentleman smiled, and asked the
Justice if he would not walk around to
Brentano's bookstore with him, Us he
wanted to show him some publications
Getting the innocent old gentleman into
the store he called upon the clerk for
the papers, and opening the package
before the jurist he showed him the
deed for his house and the abstract
title. Mr.. Lamar folded up the title,
made a profound bow and left the
store

Yellow Fever Microbes.

A yellow fever microbe has the ap-
pearance Of three joints of sugar cane.
got them from Washington in glass
tube that somewhat resembled gourd,
says a well known doctor. The tiny
microbes are placed in the big end, but
by looking at it you could never tell
there was anything but air in it. The
small end is sealed up and the microbes
are in there, though apparently dead.
Some microbes live in such places for
twenty years. We will suppose, now,
chat we want to look at some of them
under the microscope. Upon the little
glass slide we put drop of gelatine Of
the consistency that will not run. We
take cambria needle, and after heating
it, to destroy all microbes that may be
in the air, we quickly break the seal Of
the glass tube and insert the needle,
drawing it out quickly and resealing the
neck of the tube We insert the needle
in the drop of gelatine on the side, and
quickly put on the little cover to shus
out such germs or microbes that may be
floating about in the air. Then we place
the slide in the microscope.
In forty-five minutes the microbes
have fully aroused from their Rip Van
Wrinkle sleep, and now you see what Gu
rious things they are. As said before,
they resemble three joints of sugar cane,
but the joints are not straight but at
opposite angles. Take this fellow, for
instance, and you see joint drops off,
leaving him with two joints. Presently
another joint joins on the dropped joint,
and by this time a third appears on
number one. Now look at number two,
and there is third joint. Now joint
drops from number one, and by the time
it gains another joint number two drops
a joint, and this, with the joint from
number two, join together, and there is
microbe number three. Another joint
grows on numbers one and two, and one
crops from number three, and these,
joining together, make microbe number
four, and so they go on until the little
drop of gelatine is a working, seething
mass of microbes.
Now, these microbes are in the blood
of a yellow fever patient, and there is
where they live. They get in blood
corpuscle, and eat sout all the red part,
as darby eats out the red meat of a
watermelon, and the blood is then o
drop of clear fluid. To give you an idea
of how many you can crowd into cor
puscle of blood, let me say that it takes
1920 corpuscles to make an inch. Well,
you can string just 10000 microbes
across the diameter of corpuscle, con-
sequently You can get billions after
billions of microbes in a drop of blood.
The theory is that these microbes eat
up ones blood so fast as to take it away
from him in very short time. Some
men can stand the letting of more blood
than others, and consequently some men
recover from the yellow fever.-Heratd
of Health.

A Story i'm Four Parts.
PART l


Little Boy-Mamma, what does
mean when you say, There are no flies
on you?"
Mammal don't know, my son; it's a
common, vulgar expression, I believe,
used by uncultured people. But why
do you ask?
Little Boy-Why, I saw papa kiss
nurse this morning, and she said:
There are no flies On you."
PART II.
Wife-Husband, dear, what is the
meaning of the expression, There are
no flies on you?'
Husband-Weli, as far as I know, it
means that the person addressed is up
to the times, that he is progressive and
generally smart and shrewd. But why
do you ask?
Wife-Oh, no reason in particular;
our little boy wanted to know, and ]
couldn't tell him.
Wife Ito nurse)-Bessie, can you tell
me what one means in saying, There
are no flies on you?'
beSsle-No, ma am. don't know what
it means. l never make use of slang e1.

Something to Saw.

Only children feel privileged to in,
dulge in absolute frankness of act and
speech. Cant you speak to Mr..
White?" asked mother of little girl,
who had steadfastly refused to make
the acquaintance of disagreeable
visitor. The child shook her head.
~Oh, do come and tell me what You
had for Christmas" said Mr.. White,
persuasively; but little Mary made no
reply.
Il have a little girl at home" went
on the visitor. IF you will tell me
something about your dollies, l will tell
her when 1 go home, and she will be so
pleased"
Mary remained mute, and after a few
more vain attempts, the visitor turned
his attention to other members of the
family. Presently he rose, saving,
well, think it is time for me to say
goodnight
Goodnight" came from Mary's
corner, where she had been sitting in
digniied silence. Goodnight! good
night~
The absolute relief in her explosive
tones, was only too evident to al
