FISHING HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC

There's a halo DER the nation, Ike a me-
teor's fiery glow
When il moves athvart the heavens In its
course, sublime and slow,
Making grand the spheres around It, max
ing bright the world below
The President is fishing
We have seen him in the sedges Of a hun
dred bahblng brooks.
We have watched his patient tramplng by
their windings and their crooks.
with his fishpole on his shoulder, with his
bait and cruel hooks,
The President a-tishing.
There's a group of islands in m!d-ocean
of our Western shore,
They have been a kind of queendom. but
they want queen no more.
They are asking for protection and are
knocking at orr deer,
But our President is fishing.
There's sister IN the Southland where
the themal rivers flow.
John Bull invades her quist domain to paw
the earth and blow.
Trembling. she cries. "Oh. Uncle Sam.
where is good James Monroe
But the President keeps fishing.
From Antilles 'fairest queen, long meath
the iron heel Of Spain,
Borne by the south wind DER the Gulf.
comes a sad, soul-piercing strain.
Call not on Us, O struggling heroes. or ye
shall call In vain,
our President is fishing
From a dungeon Of oppression comes a cry
across the sea.
And II wrings the heart Of every man who
boasts his country free.
For a citizen doth languish there In base
captivity,
While our President IS fishing.
When Rome was burning, Nero, her vile
emperor. in the roe
or chief musician, played on his violin
with all his soul:
Here in proud America, while the whole
country goes to shoei.
our President goes fishing.

The Judge of a Western court, in order
70 secure a safer and more civilized con-
diton of affairs in the court room, asked
the twelve iurymen and the ten attorneys
present to place their pistols in pile IN
the corner of the room. but there seemed
to be some nesitaney in complying with
the request. and the judge insisted.
If your honor viii put his down first,
suggested the foreman Of the Jury, I
guess the balance Of us will foller suit.

and laid his gun down in the corner.
In a few minutes all the others had done
the same. excepting the sheriff and his

Japanese nraidservants.

Now tho Chinese or Japanese maidserv- ant is becoming fashionable on account of her picturesque possibilities. If she wears her native dress, she is about as attractive as a $1, 300 vase or 0 rare piece of brio-a- brac. Visitors like to look at her, and con- sequently the prettier and more graceful : the girl the higher wages she can com : mand. Long, narrow eyes, thin, black brOws and Q clear complexion are the things desired An oriental girls hair is always shiny and well arranged, and ev- erything about her is invariably neat A part of her duties is attendance at the door. This is where tho spectacular fea- ture counts. After the ring of the electric bell has died away there is pattering of slippered feet or the clack of little Japa- neso wooden stilts and the door swings back, revealing small, brilliant fgure with card tray concealed in the depths of her sleeve or kimono, It is all very fetch- ing.
 Another function that the maiden from over the seas is expected to perform is serv- ing 5 o'clock tea. This is peculiarly ap- propriate and lends an aroma to the bey- craze. It never seems tho same afterward, when Q Gretchen, with a face like a plat ter, or Hibernian carries the tray. The fad started in New York and has natural ly reached its height in San Francisco where tho missions are not able to supply the people who call upon them. The mis- sions, in fact require references before they will allow their girls to go out There is too much trouble in rescuing them to have them slip back again, as they are quite likely to do if they are not carefully watched. It will not do to give them the liberties that other serving maids have, for they are like wax in the hands of designing people.-New York Core. spondent

Counterfeit Compliments.

Truth telling people are not so pleasant to spend quarter of an hour with as flat terers, but they wear better to the.end of tho 24, writes Mrs. Hamilton Mott in The Ladies' Home Journal. I know a woman who has the art of accidentally saying in conversation the incest things, things that make you want to put your arm about her or kiss her hand in thanks. You hear her say openly ono day that she is fond enough of hearing pretty things not to care whether they are genuine or not, and your folly is not so superlative that you T can take much comfort in her favor after that You como to know the counterfeit, no matter how bright it is.
