COLLECTIONS BY THE POETS
We ard tine VYeathcl

We and tine Weather.
This is the ngeful season when
The weather tries the souls of mn
And keeps thom over on the guo,s
To know just how they ought TO drosA
One can't be certain If the day
VIII like December be or May,
And SO the very prudent man
Carries both an overcoat and fan.
Now as we go upon tho street
We'ro always very sure to meet
Mon wearing heavy coats and those
Who have put on seersucker clotbes
Some wear their arctic shoes and boots
And some have donned their tennis suits
While others seize their newest chance
To air their ice-cream summer pants
Some fancy tan shoes are the thing
While others to their ear-muffs cling,
And mammoth ulsters, deep and wide,
And pink shirts travel side by side
It's quite enough TO waken smiles ~
To note the sadly tangled styles
That an observer may behold
Betw cen these days OF hot and cold
The man who'd have his dress TO be
In warmth or GOODNESS the degree
The changing weather may demand
Should always have his trunk at hand
Then, come the breezes cold or hot,
He'd have his wardrobe on the spot
Where he could suit each changing breath
And neither roast nor freeze TO death

A Song of Sunny Sides.

What Is 1t to the river banks where honey

To tho peach fields where tho mockin' birds

The sunny side o. city life, what is 1t to the

That is tangled in the woodlands, where the
purple and the white
OF springtme's earliest blossoms seem blowin'
into you,
With the rumpled trees abendin' an bow in

The sunny side o city life, the poets sing 1,

An fer the girls with glintin' curls their city

But the brightest light is beamin from wild.

Tho pnasinc of the Gnte.

They've moved away the dear old gate
On which the children used to swing
Through morning hour or twilight late
To hear the night orchestras sing.
There in the starlight lovers met
Above the dear old gate they kissedi
1t fills me with sad regret,
This ruthless spelling of their tryst
They tell mo tits old-fashioued now
TO live upon fenced estate;
To fashions progress al must bow

In memory, to guard and bless;
Shut out the images Of pain.

o, writer's realistic,
Won't you, Just 10 please friend,
Be not so pessimisuc
In the way your stories endf
And can't you now and then contrive
To let the lovers wed,
Nor have the heroine arrive
To find the hero deadY
Tho falr-appearing things of life
Are not forever bad
And even IN this vale OF strife
Arc moments that are glad.
o, can't you to your world Of doubt
Admit little fash
OF sunshine now and then without
Its going all TO smashS
Quit blasting every happy bud;
Quit clouding every hour,
Quit pla5tering our gods with mud,
Quit making sweet things sour.

Embitter every cup
Ring OIL ye bilious winners, do

And every day the same sweet song she sunl
Until her little onos has taken wing

Upon our vines at autumns opening.

on which an insufficient amount of

incompletely or wrongly addressed,

cry, and in value from one cent to one,
Thousand dollars. Sales of these arti-I
cles are held annually, and after they
have been held for claim for over two
years. and after every effort has been
exhausted to find the owners the
parcels become matters Of public in
vestment. Most Of the packages con-
tain articles of too small value to be-
sold separately, so parcels containing
the contents of several packages are
made up and sold at an average price
of sixty cents each. The attempt is
made to have articles in each package
worth that amount. The original
wrappers are removed from the par
cells, and new ones, on which Is
written description Of the contents,
substituted. This description is also
entered in the auctloneer's sale book,
and from this description, not from
a personal examination, the purchase
is made. The sale is held in Deem
Der, before the holiday season, and
continues for about week. The
proceeds, like the money found in I'M
claimed letters, are delivered to the
Third Assistant Postmaster General
for deposit in the United States
Treasury.
