HIS ABSENT QUEEN.

Tonight,
Fast in my arms hold thee,
Anastasa mine,
My queen!
Fast in my arms!
And yet
If but last night I'd held thee
Only in my hand
How then, indeed, would you
Have been to me
queen imperious!
For then,
Clasping as did those other queens
Those three right royal ladies
land had EN- all the time)
With that king full that Bill Jones held
You bet I'd stayed
And whooped it up
Until the cows came home,
And, like cyclone revolving out to hustle things
I'd rake the pot,
That big, that opulent, that fat jack pot,
And slowed it in my jeans
If but last night I'd held thee
Just in my one weak hand,
o queen!

HE WAS cHAIRED.

Under the Circumst3nceS, the Young
Man Was Rather Stuck ON It.
At the home of q popular Louisville
girl most uncomfortable half hour
was recently spent by q modest youth
who had called to see her. The youth
Is noted for bashfulness and nervous
ness The night in question he went
with q friend to the girls house. He
took q comfortable seat in a large
armchair. and, as was his habit, soon
began to nervously poke his fingers
into cracks and holes of the ornamen-
tai part of the chair. He showed
his finger into hole in this
manner, but found to his dismay that
his knucikle positively refused to come
back through the hole. The NOR e
the young man worked to rescue his
finger the harder it was, as the finger
became swollen.
The youth was too bashful to men
tion the ridiculous predicament into
which he hsd gotten himself, but
manfully bore the pain in silence. He
suffered untold agony for fear his
friend would go before he released
his finger. Finally the hostess noticed
his apparent uneasiness The youth
with many bushes then told the
cause. It was not until half an hour
later that the bashful youth and the
chair parted company. The butler
finally succeeded in releasing the fin
ger with the aid of a hatchet and
chisel, but the handsome chair Is a
thing of the past.

THE RIGHT KIND.

There Was NO Nonsense About That Boy,
He Meant Business.
The merchant had arrived at his of.
fee as early as o'clock and five min
utes after he sat down to his desk a
foxy-looking, bright-faced boy cana
in. The merchant was reading and
the boy, with his hat of, stood there
expectantly. but saying nothing. At
the end of two minutes he coughed
slightly and spoke.
Excuse me, SIR" he said, "but I'm
In a hurry"
The merchant looked up
what do you want?' he asked.
II want job If you've got one for
me-"
"Oh, you do?" snorted the merchant.
"Well, what are you in such a hurry
sbout?"
I've got to be. that's why" was the
sharp response. II left school yes
terday evening to go to work and I
haven't got a piac. yet, and I can't eff
ford to be wasting time. If you can't
do anything for me, say so and I'll
skip. The orly place where can stop
long in is ths place where they pay
me for it"
The merchant looked at the clock.
"When can you Gomez" he asked.
II don't have to come" replied the
youngster, I'm here now and I'd been
ut work before this if you said So"
Half en- hour later he was at it and
he's likely to have a job as long as he
wants it.

IN to relate an anecdote of the house
governor of that very hospital-a cler-
gyman who was about to be married.
His intended father-fn-law came to
him and said, .'You see you have got
no money, sir; you must go and get
your life insured . at the end of the
medical examination the physicians
aid to him: I'VE cannot accept you."
''Why7" asked the astonished house
governor. ''Oh, we would rather not
say" "Bnt," he SAID, "I have never
been i'll in my life," and indeed he
was sturdy fellow. ''Well," said the
physicians, IF you will have it you
have got heart disease" Heart dis

piled the medical men, ''you may do

He went home and the match was
broken off. He wrote to the commit
tee saying that as he had mortal dis
ease of the heart, and could not live
for six months, he withdrew his appli-
cation for rooms wherein to dwell
with his wife. On the receipt of this
letter the committee deliberated. and
said: I'VE must superannuate him,
poor fellow; and, as he has but six
months to live, we will let him have
his full pay" Accordingly he was SUI
perannuated upon his full pay. and
upon this superannuity, said Sir An

years.

Taking Children to Church.

Children of two and a half years old have
gone to church and behaved with a pro-
priety that might have shamed some of
their irreverent elders, writes Elisabeth
Robinson Scovil in an article on "Children's
Church Going" in the May Ladies' Home
Journal To others of this age 1t would
be simply impossible to keep still for more
than five minutes at time, and their
id,reting would certainly disturb every one
in their immediate neighborhood and cause
their friends much needless disquietude.
When the service is bright and hearty,
varied by frequent change OF position and
interspersed with music, which usually de-
lights children, there Is less fear of its
overtaxing their small powers of endurance.
When the great desert of the sermon, as
it must seem to their unappreciative minds,
arrives 1T is we'll to withdraw them If they
show signs of fatigue. If this cannot be
done conveniently they may at least be
allowed to go to sleep with their heads In
the safe shelter Of mothers lap or leaning
against fathers arm.
