WITHDREW HIS OBJECTION.

1t was evident that the gray-haired old
gentleman was put out about something.
Yesterday" he said, ~ heard you re-
fer to me as the old man."
Every likely" replied the young man.
"Well, l don't like it," returned the old
gentleman. 81 suppose you meant moth
ing wrong, but IT is disrespectful. l have
always tried to be fair and considerate
with the boys in the office and / don't
like to be repaid in this way"
did you ever know of anyone who was
unpopular being called the old man?' 4"
asked the young man.
"Eh? What's that?" demanded the old
gentleman.
when a man is known through an Of
flee as Mister isn't it a 10 to bet that
he is pretty generally disliked or feared?"
The old gentleman thought 1t over for
a minute.
Perhaps" he said at last. Sin view of

how l regarded him I'd better withdraw
any objections to the term,"-Chicago

SOMEWHAT REMARKABLE.

'I don't see what there was so re-
markable about him." said the man with
the cob pipe when a recently deceased
acquaintance came up for discussion.
That's because you don't understand
all the circumstances" replied the man
with the cigar. "You know, he was a
bachelor"
Certainly. Everyone who knew him at
all knew that"
"And he was also wealthy"
Eyes. Everyone knew that What of
it?"
"Why he's one of the very few wealthy
bachelors who have been able to die
without having a widow turn up and sue
the estate"
After a few minutes of reflection the
man with the cob pipe admitted that
there was a little something out of the
ordinary about that.-Chicago Post.

The Veil of Distance.

When viewed at closer range, the chasmed
mountains, bleak and Scared
Lose all their beauty. Stern, forbidding and
severe they rise,
The playground where the gods have tossed
the powders here and yon
In giant playfulness. But out beneath the
prairie skies,
When back we turn to view the towering
domes, misty haze
A softened, tender mist lots out the wounds
and glorifies
The ancient heavenward lifting peaks. The
distance weaves veil
That hides the scars, revealing naught but
beauty to our eyes.
past takes on
A glory born of time, a haze that hides the
bitter pain
The disappoiltments once SO hard to bear
the cross of want
The loneliness-the sharpest thorn, ingrati-
tude-the stain
OF some great sin-the broken heart-the open
grave-the scars
That mar our lives-and back we look from
out the present plain
And see a glory in the years gone by, forget
ting that,
Though yelled by distance woven mists the
jagged rocks remain.
The dull today, monotonous with it's round of
petty cares,
Its uneventful hours, with it's binding dust
of little things
That dims our vision of the beauties close at
hand-the clouds
That hide the vaulted heaven from our faith
less view-the stings
OF scourges made Of many tiny knotted cords
of daily strife
These, too, will pass away, and in the light
that distance brings
Well see this present glorifed, these level
desert plains
Transformed and full abloom bejeweled with
eternal springs.

The Call.

"Come," said voice to poet as he sought
an elusive rhyme,
One night when the world was sleeping, in
the heart Of the sweet May time.
ooh, how can Gomez" he answered. "Let me
alone, ! pray,
For the verse which / now am weaving the
hearts of men will sway"
"Come, said the voice to statesman as he
stood in the senate hail.
And men moved on at his bidding like troops
at bugle call.
Chow can conner" he answered. "My sun at
its zenith stands.
Before 1t sets forever my name shall be known
in the lands.
"Come," said the voice to mother, with her
children at her knee,
Dreaming how safe and happy their life by
her side should be.
"Oh, i cannot come, she answered. ~ pray
you, let me stay,
For how can I leave my darlings to wander
far awayf"
No other word was spoken, but the poet left
his pen;
The statesman g name was heard no more upon
the lips Of men,
And the children found no mother, though they
called with sobbing breath.
