cussion not only no tangible
result has been arrived at,

have furnished overwhelming proof
that in the future no conference, either
national or International, will arrive
ut a different result.

understanding upon hi.metallsm seems
impossible either between the different
states Of Europe, including England, or
without England, He says that the

THE CHILDREN.

Only to keep them so,
Soft, warm, and young;
The wee, feeble fingers,
The babbling tongue,
Tears that We kiss away,
Smiles that we win:
Careless of knowledge.
AS guiltleSS of sin.
Only to keep them so,
Frank, true and pure:
OF our full wisdom
So lovingly sure.
Our frown all they shrink from,
Our fiat their law;
Our store whence all gladness
They fearlessly draw.
Only to keep them so,
Sweet hands that cling,
Sweet lips that laugh for us,
Sweet tones that ring;
Curls that we train to wave,
Feet that We guide,
Each fresh step a wonder,
Each new word a pride.
Only to keep them 50!
Women and men
Are the TIMES that circled us
Lovingly then.
Gentle and god to us,
Patient and strong,
Guarding our weaknesses,
Bearing us long.
Tenderly hooking us,
Old thoughts and ways,
That scarcely keep measure
With life's rapid days,
Good to us-waiting,
Our sunset shows fair.
But, only to have them so.
Just as they were!
All the Year Round.

''No one knew of Lconcavallo's arrival.
In tho theater 'Pagliacci' was to be
given. What was more natural than
for him to wish to see his piece? He
went to the door and bought his
ticket. The house was full and no one
recognized him. He listened, but
naturally did not join in the loud ap.
plausc which greeted the presentation,
Next to him sat a pretty young woman
with lively dark eyes, who beat her
hands as though she was to be re-
warded for it.
"'Signor,' she said, turning to Leon
cavallo, why do you not applaud
Does the opera not please your

pense; 1T displeases me. 1t is the

music replied the young woman.
"'Oh, yes l do And the composer

disconnected neighbor and asked IL

cious look she bade him goodbye.

composer may be allowed to tell the
ending Of the story himself-'I was

the journal, when my eye fell on the
headline "Leoncavallo's Opinion Of

work on the night before. She was a
reporter Of the paper and had taken
