ONE MORN.
All, dark the clouds that hid the sun

All dark the clouds that hid the sun
Upon that morn, SO dull and gray;
weary sense of tasks undone.
In gloom upon my spirit lay.
/ sadly thought how drear my lot
How like that lonesome, mournful day.
And envied others, who had not
Such toll and trouble all the way.
As forth went my task to greet,
Across the field and Ger the stile.
4 burst of music, clear aud sweet,
StIlled my replnings. Like smile
On some loved face, the music woke
My sleeping faith, and lot
looked, and bright the sunshine broke.
And shed abroad its radiant glow.
Sweet bird 1 thought, II like thee
Could carol blithe when clouds were gray,
What best mission mine would be
To cheer sad hearts upon their way!
1t seemed this morn that winters gloom
Still fingered round US, far and near;
But now, with song and grass and bloom,
feel the welcome Spring is here.
Sing on, dear Bird with faith Ike thine,
No longer would the skies seem dreari
Nor would the spirit e'er repine,
Though heavy shadows fingered near.
But, grateful for the gifts bestowed,
Return full need of joyous praise.

Augustus Thomas is one of the youngest
of the successful dramatists, for so he is
called since "Alabama" made a hit at the
Madison-square. He isn't in appearance ths
ideal dramatic author at all. Sidney Rosen-
field, with his tall, slender figure, black hair
and eyes and fine aquiline features answers
that description much better. Mr.. Thomas
looks younger than he is. He is smooth
shaver and plump checked, rather under the
medium height, with merry dark eyes, a low
voice and pleasant manner. He is good

amuses an audience with crayon sketches Of

It's shameful, but then
IT'S the way with all men,
The defenseless they like to berate.
No spirited hen will obey;
Begone Ill have more to say.
IT'S quite plain to see
We cannot agree,
So take yourself out of my way"
But he plagued her, truth be it saith,
TIL she screeched, "I'iI have vict'ry or deathr
Though unequaiIy matched

Till he fell to the ground out Of breath.
The other hens made much ado
And said: " She's regular shrew;

To this meddleSOme hen,
