the formation of convention bureau by
joint action of the Commercial club the
Ak-Sar-Ben and the Retailers associa-
ton to take charge of all matters per-
tanning to securing and entertaining

OCTOBER NAPLES.

James Russell Lowell.
What mean these banners spread,
These paths with royal red
SO gayly carpeted?
Comes there prince today?
Such footing were too fine
For feet less argentine
Than Dian'S own or thine,
Queen whom my tides obey.
Surely for thee are meant
These hucs so orient
That with a sultan's tent
Each tree invites the sun;
Our earth such homage pays,
So decks her dusty ways,
And keeps such holidays,
For one, and only one.
My brain shapes form and face,
ThrObs with Vhe rhythmic grace
And cadence of her pace
TO all fine instincts true;
Her footsteps, as they pass,
Than mOOnbeams over grass
Fan lishter,-and, alas,
More insubstantial too!
