has its editor been able to offer better
program or a more distinguished list of
contributors than for 1898.
There Is to be a series Of illustrated pa
pers on The Leading Cities of the United
States, the story of each city told by a
prominent resident. Edmund Clarence
Stedman will write of New York Thomas
w. Higginson, of Boston; New Orleans
will be described by George w. Cable. and
Baltimore by President Gilman, of the
Johns Hopkins University. DR. Lyman Ab-
bott will tell the story Of BROOKLYN, and
other cities will ne treated by other IA
nous men. There will be articles on the
Worlds Fair, and a number of pages OF
funny pictures and humorous verses.
Mrs. Kate Douglas Wiggin, the well
known author of The Birds Christmas

The Century Magazine in 1893.

1t would be hard for person who cares
for good reading TO make better invest
ment than a years subscription TO The
Century Magaziae. No region is too re
mote, no expense too great, If it will only
produce what the CemHry's readers want
This is the policy that has made it, as The
Pau NaN Budget, of London, says, by
far the best of the magazines, English on
American.
The November number begins a new
volume and contains the first chapters OF
powerful novel of New York society
called Sweet Bells Out of Tune" writtei
by Mrs. Burton Harrison, the author
of The Anglomaniacs." In this s'ory
the fashionable wedding the occupants of
the boxes in the Metropolitan Opera
House, the ">mart set" in the country
house are faithfully reelected, and the Illus
trations by Charles Dana Gibson, Lifr's
well-known cartoonist, are as brilliant a.
the novel.
In this November number begins also
great series of papers on The Bible and
Science" opening with Does the Bi
BILE contain Scientific Errors:' by Prof
| Shields, of Princeton, who takes decided
ground that the Bible does not contain
| scientific errors of any moment, and who

will include one in the December Christ
mas number. The Effect of Scientific
Study upon Religious Beliefs"
! An important series of letters that passed
! between General Sherman and his brother
! Senator John Sherman is also printed il
! November, which number contains also
| contributions from the most distinguished
| writers, including an article by James Rus
sell Lowell which was not quite completed
at the time of his death. The suggestion
which Bishop Potter makes in the Novem
Der Century as to what could be done with
the Worlds Fair if it were opened ON Sun
day, is one which seems the most practical
solution of the problem yet offered.
The December Century IS to be a great
Christmas number, full of Christmas
stories, Christmas poems, and Christmas
pictures, land in it will begin the first
chapters of striking novel of life in Col
orado. Benefits Forgot" by Wolcott Ba-
lester, who wrote The Naulahka" with
Rudyard Kiplipg.
Papers on good roads, the new educa-
tonal methods, and city government are

In School Days.

Still sits the scbool-house by the road
ragged beggar summing;
Around IL sill the sumachs grow
And blackberry vines are running:
Within the masters desk i seen,
Deep Scared by raps official,
The wsrpiug floor, the battered seats,
The jsck-knife's carved initial:
The charcoal fre>coes on It's wall;
Its doors worn sill. betraying
The feet that, creeping slow to school,
Went storming out TO playing.
Long years ago winter sun
Sbone over 1t at setting:
Lit up its western wiudo panes
And low caves lev fretting
II touched the tangled golden curls.
And brown eyes full OF grieving
OF one who still her steps DELAYED
When all the school was leaving.
For near her stood the little boy
ter childish favor singled.
His cap pulled low upon a face
Where pride aud shame were mingled.
Pushing with restless feet the snow
To right and left be fingered.
As restiessly her tiny bands
The blue-,'hecked apron fingered.
He saw her lift her eyes, he felt
The soft bands light caressing.
And heard the trembling of her voice.
As II fault confessing.
I'm sorry that speli the word,
| hate TO 90 above you.
Because" the brown eyes lower fell
"Becsuse YOU see, love you"
Still memory to a gray haired man
That sweet child face II showing
Dear girl-the grasses on her grave
Have forty Years beeS growing.
He lives To learn. In lfe's bard school.
How few who pass shove him
Lament their triumph- and his loss
Like because they love him.

and was buried in st. Peters chapel in al
old arrow chest "a cCtiln, the same day;
Margaret, Countess of Salisbury, behesd-

chapel. as were the three following; Queen
Katharine Howard, ffth wife Of Henry
VIII, beheaded Feb. l3, 1912; Jane, Wis
1912; Lady Jane Gray, beheaded Feb IL,
1854, and buried with her husband in the
chapel Robert Devereux. Earl Of Essex,
beheaded Feb. %, 1901. Besides those
mentioned as having been buried in the
chapel, there have been twenty nine other
burials Of titled persons In the same chapel
at different times The last burial ther.
was that of Sir John Fox Burgoyne, 10
1871.
In 1912 the old chapel was burnt, and
the present one was built in about 1882.
In very short time 1t was needed for the
crowd that Henry VIII wanted to get rid
Of and before it had stood q hundred
years. Stow, the English historian, wrote
of II Here lieth before the high altar
OF st. Peters church, two dukes between
two queens, to wit. the Duke of Somerset
and the Duke of Northumberland, between
Queen Anne and Queen Katharine, all four
beheaded." Macaulay. In his History OF
England, says: "Thither have been car
ried through successive ages, by the rude
bands OF gaolers. without one moarner
following, the bleeding relics of men who
have been the captains of armies, the lead
ers of parties, the oracles of senates, and
the ornaments Of courts" In truth there
Is no sadder spot on earth than this little
cemetery.
More remains to be told of another of
the towers-the Beauchsmp Tower-but
this letter having spun far beyond my in
tention when commenced, | will have TO
make that story the subject Of another let
ter with which TO af'lict the patience OF
