ssSOME DAY.0

ssAmber,, Enumerates the Good
 Things She Is Going to Do In the
 Dim Future.
 [Amber in the Chicago Herald]
 Olives there a man with soul so dead' who has never indulged in dreams regarding his own particular ''some day"
 Some day he is going to take new deal and be right good fellow. He is going to join the church and got ready to pass in his cheeks when the grim old conductor, death, calls them in for the last station. He Is go- ing to be amiable to his wife and family, commencing Monday morning and keeping it right up until the next Sunday after mid- night.
 Oh, yes, indeed, there Is no doubt about it the "some days" hang for all of us like ripening plums on the tree of life, and we mean to pick the branches clean before we die. As for me, behold a few of my own fast mellowing "soms days"
 Some day am going to earn ten dollars over aud above grocer bills, and shoe bills and coal bills, and am going to join the Humane society and mako things lively. shall take my stand on Q street corner and arrest every brute who ovsrloads Q horse and every created being who abets him in doing SO. The able bodied people who crowd into street cars and expect two half dead rats of horses to drag them up slippery grade; all men who leave nose bags on their horses above reasonable length of time, shall be whisked away together to Joliet, and made to put up and take down stove pipes for a solid year.
 Some day the cab driver shall find himself without a whip, the dude shall be forced to drive his nag without high check rein, and the half grown boy who yanks his horse's bit 50 constantly as he drives through town shall find himself directly in front of g strong mans boot.
 Some day the woman who knows no more about bringing up children than @ cat knows about Beethoven shall find herself childless and back in school to learn the rudiments of hygiene, phosiology and common sense. She who feeds baby strong tea and coffee, she who allows a growing child to sit up till midnight, she who takes Q two year old to the matinee and slaps it because it is afraid she who puts French heels or laced corsets on her young daughters and provides wine and high seasoned food for her sons, shall go back and start from protoplasm to see if she can sprout soul If God gives her an- other chance.
 Some day tardy justice shall ovsrtake the "masher" and I'll be there to seei His soul. like filthy rag, shall be cast into refuse, and l all the bats and crows and carrion birds that
 
 l away like screaming brood of night before | the dawning of the day. What will be left of him thena Just as much as is left of g ! chicken when @ cyclone strikes it, or of 6 ! dandelion when the prairie fire overtakes it. 1 Some day shall attain unto sufficient moral courage to refuse to be "pumped" by willy enemies.
 Some day shall cut my last wisdom toott and sit with the wise on pedestals of peace | vvh{oh he'll me no moro forever.
 Some day shall understand why l hated "Dr." Fell"
 Some day shall not only know enough te go in, but to stay in when it rains.
 Some day I shall decide that 1t is no worth while to SOW wheat on rock or try tt draw water from dry wells. In other words I shall give up trying to cultivate uninter esting people merely to keep up socia farce.
 Some day I shall learn that honesty fl vastly better than policy, and shall cut loos from conventionalitiss and formalities tha letter the soul.
 Some day shall find that one tried an, true and faithful friend. who tells the trutl palace car full of sycophants and hone
 tongued praisers who ride at your expens
 and make your vanity their treasurer an purse carrier.
 Some day shall sing at the funeral of woman who chews Q toothpick on the pu0li : street.
 Some day shall dance on the grave of tn
 car driver who is always dreaming of hi best girl while hopslessly signal him froI } the "uppsr crossing of an intersecting stre' or from the middle of long block" Some day I shall find a comrade bra, 3 enough to join me in vsritabls dress reforl and wear s'leglets," though onlooking me
 20 mad with gles.
 Some day I shall meet tho female gu, i. lchewer alone upon windy sea, and there
