LONDON, June g. 1t is not an every

Princess Harry rides. drives and
skates with much skill, and is proficient

Pipe making is said to be the gift of

pipes handsomely carved by her own
hands to several of her two or three

HOPE

From out the gloom of darker years
We see the glowing light of youth,
And in our eyes there will be tears,
That memories Of brighter things
Compel, but still remains the truth,
That brighter moment sadder memories
bring.
Oh, could we call the years that fly,
The acts Of years that long have fled,
And throw but once again the die
That fate hath placed within our hands.
We would not throw this fate. and dread
The unlocked future and it's dire demands
Yet there is hope where most it seems
That we are Knocked by sneers of fate.
The honest heart will catch the beams
That fall upon an honest deed,
The pessimist will always hate;
Yet not to him is joy, not his the NEED
Look up, let not thy mournful glance
Rest on the ruin of decay of earth,
The sky is blue for thee: perchance
From out its depths. thou'll catch a CLEAN

Into higher life; thy souls eternal theme

A HAPPY HIT.

How the Elks Stumbled on n Fortunate

How the Elks Stumbled on Fortunate
Date for Their Outing.
The committee on entertainment of
the Wheeling Lodge of Elks, in select
ing the date for the annual outing of
that organization, stumbled, yes, actual
ly stumbled, on the day of their twelfth
anniversary, and it is seldom that such
happy hits are made accidentally. All
the Elks were after was the Casino, and
as June % was the only open date that
suited them, they grasped it, and held
it hard.
When some of the members of the
committee looked over the calendar OF
the lodge and found that the date cor
responded with the anniversary day of
the Order in this city there was a gen
eral handshakings all around. This
means great deal to the Elks, and it
will be of more consequence to the pub
lie, for the reason that the entertain
ment will be twice as good-although
the first contemplation of the committee
was better than has ever been offered
to their friends and the Wheeling pub
lie.
