Dedicated to Hiram y. Maxim, of flying
machine fame.
Come. dearest maiden fly with me!
My Maxim. built for two
Is tethered TO yon chestnut tree,
And only waits for you.
Soon. thrilling meath its burden fair
Its Joyous sails shall beat the air,
While. cherished by my tendercst care.
You drift along the blue.
Dread not The circling bat, my sweet;
watch him with gaze serene;
His forked wings are scarce more fleet
Than is my good machine!
The mighty pinions rise and fall:
Our friends ny past: there's room for all !:
While fiocks of birds with ittering call
Afrighted, fit between.
How dull those wights who love to feel
The slow steed tug the rein.
Or bend to guide the t0llsome wheel
Along the dusty lane!
How glad. beneath the breezy sky.
With laugh and song, We float and f1y,
While passing voices. make reply
In sweet. far sounding strain.
Then fly. dear maiden. fly with me.
Free. through the bright, clear weather.
Come forth. and from yon chestnut tree
I'll loose my Maxim's tether.
While twilight draws her azure VEIL b.
Beneath the evening star we'll sail,
And II, like Icarus. we fail,
Well die, sweetheart, together!

''The New Woman-Once Our Super

The subject Is aptly worded, and is
significant Of profound truth Nature
everywhere assigns to woman the posi-
ton OF superiority. This is the posi-
ton accorded her at the creation.
ChronOlogically she comes after man,
but that Is only an instance of the
good wine being kept last. She is
created to be the helpmeet Of man.
The original specimen of humanity was
such a helpless, shiftless, unambitious,
self. conferred being that the Almighty
took pity upon him, and sent him a
lovely woman who with her superior
charms would bring inspiration and joy
into his life.

The superiority Of woman Is some-
thing not reducible to mathematical ex-

The artist can express 1t. The pen Of
the essayist Is too dull, too heavy. But
the poet. who with true artistic i'm
pulse has described the ideal woman

what poet could resist?-has touched

man to a responsive amen.
