He had evidently just arrived, and from the
rear platform Of 18th street car was feasting
his eyes upon city sights. Undoubtedly, too,
it was his first visit to town. Washington,
strictly speaking, cannot be said ordinarily to
revolve 90 rapidly as to bewilder one, but
nevertheless that seemed to be his condition
Perhaps it was because he had the rare dis
tinction of riding on . rapidly moving WASH
ington street car. Whatever IL was. il suddenly
dawned upon him as the car neared O street
that he desired to alight On the way up he
had observed the ease and grace with which
several mon had aighted while the car was in
motion. 1t therefore struck him that he would
follow suit No sooner was the thought formed
than it was acted upon. Yet no one knew lust
exactly how il happened The old lady in the
corner declared IL was scandalous, the pretty
girl next to her hoped he wasn't hurt, ana the
gentleman with the broken nose muttered:
"Served the jay right Seer' However, as
they picked him mp and carried him TO the side-
walk, and then carefully gathered up . pair Of
yarn socks. three paper collars, . shirt and =

Margia.

Margie.
That lovely brook, see it
Still flashing in the sun;
And she and are children
Once more in Ellington;
And Margie on the bank there,
see as she used to look,
Those summer days when she played with me
On the borders Of the brook.
What wonderful ships and shallops
made for Marge then,
With leaves and grass for cargoes,
And sticks and straws for inch
And what brave names we gave them
"OrlandO," "George-a-Creen,"
''Sir Galahad," liking Pellemore,"
1.-The Cid" and ''Sir Cauliner'
We cared not much for trafic,
Yet our captains and our mates
Brought often the honeys of Hybla,
And Tunis figs and dates;
But when love called, or honor,
We sent our vessels out
In aid OF all who needed them,
With many cheer and shout
We wrote to Robinson Crusoe,
That we hoped, now Friday was gone,
he would come straight over and see us,
With all his goat skins on;
And bring the poll parrot with him,
So when they stepped ON shore,
We should know them both and take them home
Never to wander more.
As the seasons changed, so we did
In spring We dreamed Of fame,
And in summer OF autumn's riches,
And when October came
We stripped the yellow gold trees
And sent our illgot gain
In caravels to Andaluce,
Across the Spanish main.
That lovely brook, know not
just where 1t comes from now,
But in those days it wandered
As Margie could avow-
Right out from far Cipango,
And merrily ran on
Till it came to the fairy fields this side
The valley Of Avalon.
1t heard in Sherwood forest
Brave Robins bugle calls,
And carried of the music
To dash II on the walls
OF the city of Manoa,
And could be seen afar
In clearest air from Samarcand,
And near to Candahar.
Sometimes see the windings
or that brook, as in dream.
While 1t flows away to the sunset:
And here and there a stream
Is touched with light so tender
That 1t seems to my loving eyes
The course of beautiful human life
Ending in Paradise.
And plans and schemes are the vessels,
And hope is the wind that blows,
And all good aims are the harbOrs,
And time Is the tide that flows;
And then again all changes,
And see ourselves once more
Dear Margie and little boy
Playing along the shore.
