first president liked the theater as we'll
as do his followers of to-day. The point
is mentioned in one of the many the
atrical stories narrated in that new
book: "Shakespeare's Heroines ON the
Stage" Says the author Of the book:
"a Philadelphia Portia of this same
season of 1893 and 1894 comes of a
noted family, being none other than
Mrs. Eliza Whitlock. the sister of Mrs.
Siddons and of the Kembles. In Eng

after coming to this land she enjoyed
the distinction of playing the first star
engagement on the American stage, be.

play at the Boston theater in October,

A Dangerous Passage in the Rhone


Below Viviers the Rhone breaks out
from it's broad upper valley into it's
broader lower valley through the de-
file of Donzerc. Here the foot hills of
the Alps and the foot hills of the Ceven-
nes come together, and behind this nat
ural dam there must have been ancient
ly a great lake which extended to the
northward of where now is Valence.
The defile is n veritable canyon that
would be quite iii place in Sierra Madre.
On each side of the sharply narrow
river the walls of rock rise to q sheer
height of 200 feet. The rush of the
water is tumultuous. In midstream,
surrounded by eddies and whirling
waves, is the Roche des Angalais,
against which the boat of q. luckless
party of travellers struck and was shat
tered hundred years ago. Indeed, SO
dangerous was this passage held to be
of old, when faith was stronger and
boats were weaker than in our day of
skepticism and compound engines,
that it was customary to tie up at the
head of the defile and pray for grace to
come through it safely; but nowadays
with the same practical result) they
put extra men at the tiller and clap on
more steam.-Thomas Janvier, in Cen
tury.

Ea the BEST
SPRING MEDICINE

Is SIMMONS LIVER REGULAToR-don't
forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish
during the Winter, just like all nature,
and the system becomes cholted up by
the accumulated waste, which brings on
Malaria, Fever and Ague and Rheuma-
tlsm. You want to wake up your Liver
now, but be sure you take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR to do it. It also
regulates the Liver-keeps it properly at
work, when your system will be free from
poison and the whole body invigorated.
You get THE BEST BLOOD when
your system is in Al condition, and that
will only be when the Liver is kept active.
ITy Liver Remedy once and note the
difference. But take only SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR-it is SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR which makes the
difference. Take it in powder or in LIQUID
already prepared, or make tea of the
powder; but take SIMMONS LIVER REGU-
LATOR. You'll find the RED Z on every
package. Look for it.

self sailing over summer seas, toward
far-of lands. Once she said" But
Guy Genlle's face was stronger and
a strange, sweet thrill quivered at DIR.
Gentle's heart, in the midst of his
torturing dread, for she had never
called him Guy before.
AT length came the night on which
death and life must fight their battle.
AT late hour DR.. Gentle sent the
tired father and tired nurse to their
beds. " l shall stay all night" he said,
and it there is the least need of you,
l will call you. Meantime, rest for to.
morrow"
And 80 he was left alone with the
girl for whom he would have laid down
his life as willingly % Morton Stanhope
would have sent her an orchid. And
now her fancy was no longer sailing on
summer seas, or dancing to gay waltz
music. One single idea seemed wholly
TO possess her. Over, and over, and
over, until the horrible monotony of it
seemed to turn her watcher cold, she
cried" have considered, and it is
no 81 have considered, and it is
no,"-" have considered, and it is
no."
AT last-at the end of an eternity, it
seemed to DR.. Gentle-her voice grew
fainter and fainter, and then was silent,
altogether, and when the morning sun
stole in and looked at her, she was
sleeping quietly, and life, not death,
had triumphed.
OF course, DR.. Gentle, who was al
ways man of his word, wrote to Nor
ton Stanhope that the worst was over,
and doubtless he could see Miss Jane
in a week or two, though there were
still several cases of typhoid in Sea-
view.
Mr.. Stanhope did not come immedi-
ately; in fact he did not come at all.
One day DR.. Gentle was calling upon
his patient. A letter she had lust
sealed lay beside her on the table, and
when the doctor rose to go she asked
him to post it for her. 1t was addressed
to Morton Stanhope. Apropos of moth
ing, as it seemed, DR.. Gentle sat down
again.
You were rather strange" he said
the night on which the crisis of your
fever came. You kept saying, over
and over, have considered, and it is
mol have considered, and it is no. !"
A look almost of terror came into the
girls face. She put out her hand, and
it rested partly on the strong, firm hand
OF DR.. Gentle, and partly on the letter
he still held.
"Why," she said, those are the
very words that are in that letter.

POETRY.
Moro,

Now, through the crowded amphtheater,
Sounded herald flourish loud and clear.
breeze OF expectation seemed to stir,
The unkempt sunnysde sent up a cheer.
with wicked-lookng horns and suen mien,
The black bull Moro, entered on the scene.
This was the bull that, widespread placards said,
maiden would subdue from his high rage,
Else some brave matador his blood should shed,
Did not all Cadlz know the formal pager
Black Moro greeted with thHnderous roar,
The ruthless, living hill he lowered before.
BY his tormentors he at once was met:
Capas before him shook their teasing cloth;
Bandereros in his shoulders set
Their cruel darts; and when he rushed, righ
wroth
Upon yellow challenge waved with jeers,
The picadores pricked him with their spears.
Against the nearest plcador he turned
And lifted horse and rider from the ground
Thus three good horses had he gored and spurned
Infuriate, when quietly around
Withdrew the fighters, proud Of courage shown,
And left the bull, in his fierce rage, alone.
There fell a rll of music, pearl on pearl
And straightway into the sprang
A tawny, Andalusian peasant-girl,
Pretty and breathing charm; she sweetly sang,
Advancing toward the bull with fearless joy,
Iheh pausihR, ceased ana crleu horoi IA Voy'
of glad Espara she, and she had fed
Petted and cared for Moro happy years.
And when of late she heard 1t lightly said,
That he must grace the arena full of tears
She sought authority and gained right
To save his life, If in this wise she might.
Within the wide, great amphitheater
At the fret piping of the bird-ke voice,
Moro had quelled his fury, and seeing her,
The girl, his friend, he seemed quite to rejoice.
And when beside him she had come to stand,
With his mute tongue he licked her loving hand.
Her voice and presence soothing every smart,
He knelt before her as she stroked his head;
But bending over, she removed each dart
With careful ruth and then, joy-garanded,
Her around his neck, and all elate,
She, smiling, led him toward the torrils gate.

SELECTED STORY.
The Printing Press,

browning glory the Printing Press,
Mankind to help, to guide, to bless,
Teaching, preaching, noting down
Daily dongs of field and town
And wearing well its golden crown
OF glory.
This messenger comes with life and light,
From out the regions of inky night
Noting darkened hours and brilliant days.
Finding pleasant paths and sorrows ways,
Within its influential rays
OF story.
II brings fresh news from far and near,
Notes the welcome smile, the falling tear,
At birth and BRIDAL tomb and bier,
Recites alike of grief and pain,
Or tells of joy in glad refrain
1t argues, urges, pleads and prays
Mankind to walk in wisdoms ways,
To shun the paths OF errors maze,
Good counsel gives to age and youth
Loved and revered, when true to truth,
The press.
All honor when it takes its aim,
And turns its guns on sin and shame,
In darkened ways of wrong and blame,
when 1t firmly stands in the paths of right;
Looking well to distance, object and sight,
And fires.
o, marvellous thing Is the Press, we know,
We find Its products wherever we co.
As II rattles away at pace not slow;
In telling the world what the worlds about
It's wonderful genius for finding out
The news.
The nose for news is a noted nose,
The legend Ia good as far as 1t goes
But it sometimes smells out more than it knows;
And when in attempting to get good scoop"
There has been known to fall into the soup
The reporter.
As to what we should do without the Press,
We may not discuss or attempt to guess,
There would need to be drawn up ready for battle
An army of tongues, for gossip and prattle,
A title of this and of that some tattle,
All, me-

One, Two, Three.

1t wss an old, old, old. old lady,
And boy that was half past three,
And the way that they played together
Was beautiful to see.
She couldn't go running and jumping
And the boy, no more could he;
For he was thin little fellow,
With thin, little twisted knee.
They sat in the yellow sunlight,
Out under the maple-tree;
And the game that they played I'll tell you,
just as 1t was told to me.
1t was Hde-and- goSeek they were playing,
Though you'd never have known 1t to be-
With an old, old, old, old lady
And the boy with twisted knee.
The boy would bend his face down
On his one little sound right knee,
And he'd guess where she was hiding
In guesses One, Two Three.
"You are in the china closet!'
He would cry, and laugh with glee-
1t wasn't the china closet;
But he still had Two and Three.
"You are upin papa's big bedroom,
In the chest with the queer old Key"
And she said You are warm and warmer;
But you're not quite right" said she.
SIT can't be the little cupboard
Where mammals things used to be-
SO it must be the clothes-press, grandma -
And he found her with his Three.
Then she covered her face with her fingers,
That were wrinkled and white and wee,
And she guessed where the boy was hiding
With One and Two and Three.
And they never had stirred from their places,
Right under the maple tree
This old old, old, old lady
And the boy with the little lame knee
This dear, dear, dear old lady
And the boy who was half past three.

Piggy's Visitors.

Inere We're SIX nttle crows so terribly tnm
Their bones We're coming right through their
skin,
And though each gobbled enough for three
They still We're as thin as thin could be.
And there was pig so dreadfully fat
That, painting and putting, all day he sat,
And though he never ate dinner or tea
He still was fat as fat could be.
"Piggy, dear piggy, what shall we do
To make ourselves plumpety plump like youp
We find it is getting serious matter
To eat SO much and become no fatter."
The pig gave vent to the ghost of grin:
"Be thankful you're nothing but bones and
skin.
If /, my dears, were u good deal thinner,
shouldn't be killed for somebody's dinner"

The Passing of the Horse.

"Hol hol" he cries and mounts his bike.
"The passing of the horse!"
Within my breast it seems to strike
A pang that beats remorse.
No spider frame of Bonded steel
With handle bar and rubber tires
Can stand beside the strong appeal
OF throbbing life and keen desires.
I smooth my horses shapely neck,
His nostrils sniff the piny airI
No pearl from far Tehuantepec
Can match his beauty standing there.
IT'S Joy to stroke his kindly head;
And thus fellow learns to feel
A noble, breathing quadruped
Is more than tube or sprocket wheel.
Let others praise the "silent steed"
That slides along the we'll rolled grounds
My heart still yearns with loving greed
For sounding hoofs and rhythmic bounds
