FOR LOVES SAKE.

1t is a sad fact too often proved that
love knows no bounds, and two young
Lodians very recently experienced a
rather romantic affair in which they
were losers, both about the age Of fl
teen years. They loved snd had planned
to elope, bnt the girls paIeuts became
coghizarit Of the scheme and chided the
young lovers somuch that they gave up
the idea and. decided to die each in the
others embrace. The young man ap-
piled at the drug store. ''Give me
enough poison TO killtwo persons, !" said
the lovesick youth. The keen percep-
ton OF the druggist discerned the boys
purpose and concluded to assist in eradi-
eating the horrible Dream. So he COM

Taking what he supposed to be q pois-

wood-shed, locked the door and tossed
the key through the lattice outside.
Then the drug was taken and they fel.
in each other 8 embrace to die romantic

die, for in several seconds the croten oil

Have you heard the story about the brook?
It sounds like fairy tale.
But firmly declare and solen1nly swear
That it isn't yarn from story book,
But true without doubt or fail.
The brook was babbling along one day
When Winter. the wizard King,
Came down to the earth. and in cruel
mirth
Raised his magic wand and called out:
Stay
No more shall you sweetiy singh
He waved the wand high above his head.
And performed wond'rous task;
For the brook turned pale. and coat OF
mail
Enveloped IT quite, so the tree tops said
Like the man in the iron mask
And Winter with many a laugh and 5eer,
Left the brook in it's prison cell:
And the snowbirds wept. and the squirrels
To the barren banks where each dropped
For the friend they had loved 30 wei.
And the brook lay b'izhed while the days
went by.

Tho the snow birds say. as they passed
that way.
They ofttimes heard pathetic sigh
Like the sob of a broken heart.
But at last the beautiful fairy. Spring.
Burst forth into the dell;
And she waved her wand and a glad day
dawned
On the world And she babe the brook to
sing,
And thus broke the magic spell.
And oh. how sweet was the little brooks

And it sang: "Heigho! l will flow and flow

With despair and disaster,
Turn it-and 10,
The design of the Master.
The Lords at the loom.
Room for him-rooml
Mary A Lathbury.
