And poor and commonplace our chosen lot.

And we must toll lest want should enter

And all the gold we have is In your hair.

Changing my smoulding life to quench-
less flame
Making this dull. sad world paradise?
They said we should regret It years ago
DO you regret? Forgive me love OF mine!
Strong faith need never stoop TO ask
sign;
But smile at me sweetheart-then shall
KNOW.
We have been happy-have we not my
own?
No path too rough 10 tread with me
No lot so hard but your sweet faith
could see
A light beyond. bliss TIL then unknown.
When love is great all other Joys seem
small:
Content and richly poor. no loss we fear;
And what is wealth or fame? Lean closer

And put your hand in mine. Now have

Gaihnrlnn pchhle. DO soil.

Bright beach pebbles that have been
rolled back and forth on the sandy shore OF
Lake Michigan nobody knows how long are
used as a commercial commodity In Chica-
20. They eventually find themselves stick
ing in hot tar and making the gravel part
OF gravel roofs, crushed under heavy rollers
for street pavements and packed away
soldly as the base Of made stone sidewalks.
The most interesting operation through
which these bright coored bits go Is the
gathering. Men clad in trousers rolled mp 70

the beach where the water line makes the
pebbles show clearly. In their hands h

part is an open iron frame with thin shoe
where the edge Of the blade would be.
Stretched on this frame aud bending at an
angle Of 45 degrees Is a stout wire net.
With the shoe the gravel IL lifted from the
beach and drawn back into the net, through
which the adhered sand percolates.
Having filled net, the workman with a
peculiar fling lands the load against n sieve
perched upon a wagon. This sieve allows
the pebbles Of commercial size 10 pass
through into the wagon and rejects those
too large, which fall back pattering into
the road. IL il a common thing To see two

How Women Play Whist.

Did you ever watch women alone at whist
and note the interest takeni visited at a
suburban hotel IN Chicago, and one evening
after being for stroll my friend ana
walked into the parlor where four ladies'
two widows and two young girls. were en-

Sitting Oh lounge at some little dis
tance we watched the game and OCCASION
ally chimed in With our opinion on subjects
brought up with cards laid down. FINALLY
tbe conversation turned to cooking, and
soon there was very spirited debate on the
way 10 boil potatoes. The English widow
declared that the only way her father
would eat potatoes was when put on
ouick fire in cold water, which made them
white and mealy, and asking what card led
PLAYED her hand. The elder. an American
widow laid down her card and stated very
positively that there was only one correct
way and that was to put them In boiling
water. As one Of the girls asked what
trumps the English widow said she would
never do them any but the way she learned
at home. When the girl took tho trick,
she only lik-l the potatoes boiled with the
jackets on.
Then the younger girl dealt new hand,
remarking that there could be no differ
ence in boiling anything 50 ordinary as po-
tatoes, and what did it matter how they
were boiled as long as they got soft' which
brought such storm Of indignation from
the Others, myself and friend included,
each giving her opinion over again, ali at
the same time, and trying to make herself
heard above the others, that the poor girl
trumped her partners ace. causing a repri-
mand from that partner. which was only
interrupted by roar OF laughter from
