Dolly Belle.


Down the lane beside the meadow
Where the honeysuckle grows
With the daisies and the clover
And the lovely briar-rOse,
While the viOlets are sleeping
Meath the shadow of the dell,
Lived little blue-eyed maiden
Known to me as Dolly Belle.
Oft met her lightly tripping,
Tripping eer in merry chase,
While the sunbeams through Ter tresses
Kissed her rosy, dimpled face,
And the posies of the meadow
Where her fitting footsteps fell
Nodded mods of nodding welcome
Totheir loving Dolly Belle
And she took me to her garden,
To her garden down the lane,
Where the CHEEKY little sOngsters
In chirruping refrain
And the flowers by their bushes
Loving secrets tried TO tell
To their charming, dainty mistress,
Lovely little Dolly Belle.
There she sang to them in carols,
CarolnR SO swees and clear
That the gentle breath Of heaven
flushed lis melody To hear
Life was all a mellow summer,
AL the world quiet dell,
To this airy, fairy maiden,
joyful, blithesome Dolly Belle.
"Come," said, "and let us wander,
Wander far and far away,
Where the roses never wither
And the robins always stay
For loved this little maiden
More than any words can tell
But the Turing soul of nature
Claimed my darling Dolly Belle.
Oft / wander In the twilight
BY the fields Of nOdding rye,
As the stars peep forth 10 blossom
In the meadows of the sky,
And wander by the garden
Where the birds and flowers dwell,
Ever calling, ever longing
For their angel Dolly Belle.

great deal OF interest has been awakened
by some remarks made at the last meeting

Lodge holds high rank among men Of science
in England. Whatever he says is, therefore.
entitled to respectful consideration.
Speaking of the limitations Of mans lnovi-
edge of nature, he referred to the phenomenon
known as Thought transference." and, after
recalling the fact, which OF course everybody
knows, that thought can be transferred from
one mind to another either by the agency Of
sight, as in writing. or Of sound, as in speaking
he uttered these remarkable words:
Ills IL possible that an idea can be transferre6

different institutions their mothers do not for.
get or ignore them. but visit them, and gener.
a!y more frequently than some mothers in
other walks OF life"
The officer said words of praise for the vari-
Gus institutions here to which he sent children
last year and said that owing to their good
management they had succeeded not only in
redeeming the children, but in educating and
giving them . start in life that will do them
good and which they cannot forget a. long a.
they live.
THE SKwsBoYs' HOME.
The Newsboys' Home and Children's Aid
Society,"" said Officer Wilson, ''has proved .
valuable institution so far as my labors are
concerned, and too much cannot be said in
pra'se Of Agent Sweeneys good work He is
the right man in the right place, always
wiiing and ready to do what he can.
This institution is an excellent place for the
temporary detention of boys who have no
homes or who come here as runaways from
other cities There is nothing about the place

KIND words OF the agent generally induce him

Will. The place, As / said before" added the
officer, lis an excellent institution and is de-
serving of the aid and sympathy Of every good
citizen.
TO PUNISH yEGLEcrFUL HUSBANDS
"While the institutions and the law are good
things for the protection of the children some
thing is necessary at times to protect the
mothers in order that the result of their protec-
tlon will fall upon the children, and to that end
1t ID hoped the law will soon pass to punish
neglectful husbands. Senator Mcmillan has the
bill in charge and he will no doubt secure its
passage. Under the provisions OF the bill pun
lshment Is provided for husbands for failure to
provide for their families when they have the
means to do SO, and in this connection l might
state that the law is aimed at those men who
desert their wives and children for others as
well as those who spend their earnings in
liquor and at the card table. There is a SINH
lar law in New York, and such law for this
city cannot help but do good"
Concerning the proposed law, the officer said
ne had case in hand now in which man en-
pioyed in one o. the departments was alleged
to have failed to make provision for his wife
and children.
According to his information the husband
has given his wife ten dollars in three mon tbs

she lost the position and then she had to accept

A GRAND EXHIBIT
Now Going On at Meyberg BrotherI
Crystal Palace.

Now Going On at Neyberg Brothers'
Crystal Palace.
Every year Meyberg Brothers have an
elegant display OF china and art goods.
This year they seem to be outdoing
themselves, for the exhibit is by far the
best they have so courteously bestowed
upon the public. 1t is well worthy of
seeing, and the people will miss rare
treat ii they fail to inspect this splendid
exhibition. The display of superb
French ware, from Haviland q Co.,
France, is the principal attrac-
ton. Never has a finer display
of these wares been seen on this
coast, consisting of meat, game, fish,
fruit and asparagus sets, ordered
specially for private parties in this city,
their monograms being on each piece; |;
the cut and crystal glassware is also
a special feature. The pupils of Mrs.
Bancroft have very creditable exhibit,
consisting of porcelain decorating,
which attracts no little attention. There
is also splendid porcelain decorating by
Mines. A. F. Morlan, A. M. Wagner,
E. A. Walters, j. Horton and Miss
Edna Kremer. Miss II. s. Quinsy
mas two elegant oil paintings of Old
Chinatown and the Home of Ramona,
which show remarkable ability in her
line. There are other oil paintings of
well-known local artists. Guy Bedford
has five crayons in the exhibit which
show him to be master in his line.
Pearl E. Lettelier and Frank R. Liddell
have some paintings which are excep-
tionally we'll executed.
Among the many interesting things to
be seen are an extra fine collection of
piano and banquet lamps, bisque figures,
bronze ornaments and candelabras.
Meesre. Mey berg Bros. without doubt
have, by long odds, the largest and
finest crockery house on the
Pacific coast, and an inspection
OF their we'll appointed premises will
convince you of this fact. This great
exhibit will last for several weeks, and
no one should fail to see it, at their COM
modous and neatly arranged store at
13S, 140 and 142 South Main street,
where you will be welcome and receive
courteous treatment, where the genial
proprietors and obliging salesmen will
take pleasure in showing you the
many attractions at this handsome
