THE ARCHITECT.

Oh, famous and filh is the rare architect
Who recks not Of labor or cost,
Whose buildings with jewels and silver are
decked,
Where never beauty is lost.
In silence works he through the day and the
night,
Nor sound of hammer is heard.
Pagodas and palaces, cleaning with light
Arise at his beck or his world
In country or town, on che meadow or hill,
He chooses and uses q site.
No law doth he own but the law Of his will,
And none may dare question his right.
Unwearied by time and undaunted by foe,
Untrammeled by fear or command,
He builds for all people, the high and the low,
With patient and provident hand.
The castle and cottage alike he'll adorn,
Nor meanest of things doth disdain.
The peasant sleeps sweetly and finds in the
morn
A palace ON his window pane.
Oh, famous and fine is this architect rare,
Who recks not Of labor or cost,
Who builds gorgeous mansions and yet has to
spare,
The king of all builders, Jack Frosti
-Zitella Cooke in Youths Companion.

The return of the tiara seems to de.
note that the style of hairdressing is
again in the ascendant. This ought to
be good news to all except the divinely
tall woman, to whom the loss of an
inch or two by couture dressed low in
the neck was immaterial. To the aver
age woman the Madonna style of head
dress was certainly handicap. 1t sug-

more in keeping with the ordinary Brit

ton of Botticelli is with the ordinary
British character. Pail Mall Budget

PLAYED WITH THE BULLS HEAD

The Penalties Attached to Hand In Poker
Held Against Five Kings.
Some varieties of cards have the pic
ture of bulls head upon the fifty-third
card, which is known as the sjoker, !"
and largely affected by progressive
euohre players when they are working
assiduously for plated watch charms
and cotton lace collars 1t is seldom
used in a game Of poker, but in some
sections it is left in the deck upon such
occasions, and when man holds it he
is at liberty to give it the same value
as any other card in his hand. The 9TH
er night a party of joyial spirits sat
down to while away few hours at the
seductive pastime, and when some one
asked what kind of poker should be
played another suggested that "every-
thing should go" In the parlance Of
poker this means great deal. A player
can cheat to his hearts content provided
he is not discovered, and as all the
players were equally we'll equipped
with tricks the proposition was acceded
to-
During the game one of the players
excused himself for moment on some
apparently proper plea and left the
room. While he was absent he secured
a new deck of cards and arranged them
SO that the person who dealt them would
receive four aces, while the man to his
left would get four kings. In his hurry
he failed to remove the bulls head. Re-
turning to the room, he took his seat,
and winlking to the man next to him,
whose deal it happened to be- he deftly
slipped him the "cold deck" The deal
or, having confidence in his friend, took
the pack and dealt out the hands. OF
course he got the four aces. The betting
was confined to him and the man to his
left, and at last, when each had his
cash and all his worldly possessions in
the way of jewelry and wearing apparel
staked ON tho result, the hands were
called
The dealer gladly announced the pro-
prietorship of four aces and reached out
for the plumber. The other man stop
ped him instanter why, you can't
beat four acesl" calculated the dealer.
''Oh, yes, / can, said his opponent
"I've got four kings and the bull s
head, and that makes FIVE That means
that / take the pot and all tho rest of
your clothes, and that every time l
meet you on the street in the next six
months you'll have to give me So
bill"
Then the game broke up. = Washing

In MemGrinIn.

In loving remembrance of Miss
Roberto S. Young, who died April
18th, 1895.
A precious one from us has gone,
She was our joy and pride;
We loved her, ah, perhaps too well,
For soon she slept and died.
Her busy hands are folded,
Her work on earth is done;
Her life career is ended,
Her battle fought and won.
Gone from earth, yes, gone forever,
Tear dimmed eyes shall gaze in vain;
We shall hear her voice, oh, never,
Neyermore on earth again.
Home is sad, o God, how dreary.
Lonesome, lonesome every spot;
Listening for her voice, till weary,
Weary for we hear it not.
We mourn that one we loved so we'll,
Could not longer with us stay;
But Heavens divine unerring will,
We all must here obey.
IT'S hard to see the cold grave closed
Over the form of her we love,
But tits through Dec Us cold, cold
We enter worlds above. embrace
ONE WHO LOVED HER.

when intelligently managed, let him
come here and look.
