philosophical kind OF love, and endeavored
to persuade her TO change her mind
She was obdurste, and for the 10 mont hs

tons on strictly platonio footing After

divorce on the ground of incompatibility.
The case was among the contested ones in
the Supreme Court Of Rhode Island un til
July !, when it was announced that Mrs.
Herrick had delnet to contest the charges
A special hearing ia the case was held
when husband Herrick won the suit and the
divorce WAS granted.

THE MAY-HAW HUNT.
Yours truly,
JORDAN Il BooTH.


BY MISS MAUD M'AIJIsTER.
When the D'Arboune's waters wind soft
and slow.
And the whispering breezes DER them
blow,
And there where the cypress boughs III
terlace,
Their dainty foliage with careless grace,
Twas there. twas there in childhood
hours,
Meath shelterng Gusk of shady bowers
We gathered the pink, sweet fragrant
fruit
From the May-haw trees while the winds
will flute,
stole over and died in the blue jays nest,
In the cypress, calm, on the bayOu's
breast,
Gathering the haws,
Listening 10 the caws.
Listening to the caws of the birds at tiseir
rest.
And over the water drifting wide
We spTiukled the ferns on every side,
There. heath the shade hunting May
haws sweet,
BY the bayou's waters where villa birds
meet,
Gathering the haws,
Listening 10 the caws,
listening to caws of wild birds sweet.
Then how we trudged the fern crowned
hills,
Past rude old boats-and whispering rills;
Singing we went. with our baskets filled,
Listening the while as the mocking birds
triil
And the wild roses sweet,
Lay under our feet,
When we entered the paths fern frilled
Gathering the haws,
Listening to caws,
Melodious caws that were rippled and
rilled.

both interesting and beneficial? III
so just lend us your ears while we
impart that to you which will be as
pleasing as romance aud vet in every

that each individual should study his

this. In fact it is the compari-
tive duty of all who have others de
pendent upon them to note each OPP
portunity for an advantage, that Is to
say such an advantage which does
not despoil the rights aud privileges
of others. Now, therefore in consid-

GUS welcome will be extended TO all.
