A SLEEP SONG.

Willow, where the rushes grow
Softly swishing. softly swayisg.
Sing music sweet and low,
While the breeza round you playing
Gently come-gently 60.
Wind that in the trees doth blow
With a sweet seductive signing,
Sing lullaby you know,
Dreamful as the shadows flying,
Something soft-something slow.
River, as you onward ilow
Grooming songs of no mans making,
Lat me ever Stewards go
With no Thought of sad awakiny,
Even now--even SO.
Irene Noble, in Good Words.

HOW HE FOOLED THEM.

They were takin' subscription for a paper
in the town,
And the editor, as usual, was on hand
And he said If they meant business, they
must do the thing up brown,
And they'd have the best newspaper in
the land.
They hadn't any money, but one mamie
gave steer,
And one Clipped in a mule that saw the
war;
Another gave COW that had been dyin'
for year,
And didn't know what she was livin' for.
Hogs, turkeys cows and chickens-they was
given on the spot
Till the ground with all the animals was
hid;
But the editor, a-smilin' and gatherin up
the lot,
Said; guess I'll go to farmin' !" An he
did.

gun, and he got nothing. On his way

a pool.
"What will you take, said Serbian,

The man looked at him in atonish-

"Will half crown do?"
The man nodded, and Serbian gave

A New Mexican Port,

The Mexican Government has made a
contract for the construction of port
and harbor at Coatzacoalcos at a cost of
S4,500,000. Among the great public
works recently undertaken by Mexico
there is none of more importance than
this, and when it is completed the south
ern part of the republic will have sea-
port that must he advantageous to its
commercial interests. CoatzacoalcOs is a
pretty town at the mouth of the river of
that name, rising in the Sierra Madre,
and flowing northward across the isthmua
of Tehuantepec, and is frequented by
vessels engaged in the mahogany trade
1t is in direct line from the harbor of
Ventoza on the Pacific coast of the 18th
mus, and has invited the action of the
Mexican government through its relation
to interoceanic communication. Tho
river upon which it is situated has an ex-
tensive basin and numerous tributaries,
in which float a variety of trading craft.
The region which is watered by the main
stream and its affiuents is rich in natural
resources, and the government, in order
to promote its development, has offered
Inducements to Immigrants TO Settle
there, and has invited foreign capitalists
and corporations TO make investments.
The contract it has just entered into
will have powerful influence in stimu-
lating the construction of other projected
public works in the States of Vera Cruz
and Oajaca. AS far back as 1920 Cortez
gave orders for sounding over the bar at
the mouth of the Coatzacoalcos River,
and ever since that time explorers have
been interested in the region. Good serv-
ice was done by the commission which
was sent there by the United States Gov
ernment in 1850, while more recent ex.
plorations have largely increased the
knowledge that had previously been pro.
cured about the isthmus.
