TWO THRUsHss MET.

Two thrushes met upon an April day,
And sang a simple song OF love and gleeS
And am |, desS heart, and you are she
Whose tender note beguiled me on my way!'
They did not heed that all the sky was gray
And not g neighbor leaf on any tree;
Two thrushes met upon an April day,
And sang a simple song Of love and glee.
They did not miss the brightness OF the May
Or pine June's rosy, lavish wealth to see.
April" he chirped, lis fair enough for me;
And when you sing. 10, spring is on the way"
Two thrushes met upon an April day,
And sang simple song Of love and glee.

witches in the city hall nearly caused a
riot among the homeless who used the
corridors of the municipal building for a
place of lodging. For u moment it looked
as if the 800 men who obstructed the main
hallway and stairs in the north end Of the
building would engage in an encounter,
bat the appearance Of the police officers
prevented serious trorbie. The men were
hungry, and when few of them entered
the place with sandwiches there was a
rush for the food, and those who had
bought it We're sorry they did not cat
their supper outside. They lost all they
had, and that was what caused tine trouble.
The sandwiches were passed from one
hand to another. In an instant there were
eco men on their feet and blows were
struck in all directions. No one knew
against whom he had grievance, and
when officers commanded the men to re-
main, quiet they obeyed, and again took
their places on the cold stone floor TO
sleep.
Hungry Men All Around.
There was small amount of money
among a few Of those in the end of the
hall. While soIne could not have bought

enough to purchase three or four dozen A
