The Nfusmee has brown-velvet eyes,
Curtained with satin, sleepily;
You wonder if those lids would rise
The newest, strangest sight Iseel
Yet, when she chatters. laughs, or plays,
Koto, or ute, or saniseu--
No Jewel CLEANS with brighter rays
Than flash from those dark lRshes, then.
The Musmee has a small brown face
Nuskmelon seed its perfect ehape-
Aichcd, jetty eyebrows; nose to grace
fbe rosy mouth beneath; a nape,
And neck and ohln and smooth soft checks,
Carved out Of sunburned ivory
With teeth, which, when she smiles or speaks
Pearl merchants might come leagues to see.
The Musmee's hair could teach the night
How to grow dark, the ravens wing
How TO seem ebon; grand the sight
When in rich masses, towering.
She builds each high black marble coil,
and binds the gold and scarlet in,
And thrusts, triumphant, through the toll,
The Kanzashi, her jeweled pin.
The Musmee has small. faultless feet
With snow-w pite tabi trinity decked,
Which patter down the city street
in short steps, low and circumspect;
A velvet string between her toes
Holds to its place the unwilling shoe,
Pretty and pigeon like she goes,
And on her head a hood Of blue.
Tho Musmee wears a wondrous dress
Kimono obi, imogi-
a rosebush in Spring lovellness
Is not more cOlor-glad TO seel
Her girdle holds her silver pipe,
And heavy swing her long silk sleeves
With cakes, love letters, mkans ripe,
Small change musk box, and writing leaves.
The Musmee's heart IS slow TO grief
And quick TO pleasure, love, and songs
The Musmee's pocket handkerchief

Gentle and sweet and debonair

TWO CONVERTS OF SAM JONES.
The Old Man Wanted to Show How
HappY He Was and What Caused It

The Old Man Wanted to Show How
Happy He Was and What Caused It
"Bill Arp" writes as follows on the
Rev. Sam Jones: "He says that once he
was preaching in Western town and
had got wrought up in his feelings and
was going along tender and pathetic in
his appeal to sinners, when an old man
got up and stretched forth his hand and
said: Brother Jones, B other Jones,
stop minute-just a minute. just
want to shout a little and say, Bless
God, Pm happy on the way. Yes. happy
on the way, And he sat down, shaking
and sobbing with joy.
"Sam paused for the affecting scene
to lend its influences to his preaching,
and then said to the old man: We'll, my
brother, don't you feel now like you had
lost that 80 odd years Of your life that
you spent in sin2'
"The old man rose up again and said:
We'll no, Brother Jones, not exactly. /
car I say that wasn't as happy as
AM now, but did have power of fun
"On another occasion, while a revival
was going on, Sam observed an old man
in the congregation who seemed to be
much affected. and going to him asked
if he felt that his slAs were all forgiven.
The old man rubbed his eyes with a red
bandana and murmured: Not all,
Brother Jones, not ALI but think a
majority of 'em' >"
