THE POET HEART.

| One day, In Times sunniest ages. -#
Fair Life, and her servant Pain,
Her. workman, who works without
wages, k.g
And wiser who Is than all sages
That follow the stars In her train.
Together. in friendllest fashion,
Sat framing a poet-heart
And with infinite care and compassion
Life chose out each charm and each
passion,
And blent them with marvellous art.
"Falrer." she cried, than Earth's
fairest,
This lovely spirit Shall be,
Enriched with all gifts that are rarest.
See to It no power thou sparest
In molding my poet for me.
Here are the days that are golden and
sunny.
And a heart made to gather their light.
And hold t as purses hold money
To hold 1t as flowers hold honey.
And tremblc and thrill with delight.
Take. take without stint, without
OF all that have that Is best;
VI beauty, Of love and Of pleasure
Take richly, and make at thy leisure
y poet to sing me to rest
81,
t'air Life, with a smile, gave the whole,
Whiie Pain with the stilest OF naces,
AND fingers whose touch left no traces.
Wrought her of these a soul.
Then he stood up and said: "It Is ended"
And held forth his soul to the light
a Wonderous creation, where blended
Strange shadows, and sunlight so splen-
did
1t darkened all else to the sight.
Life took and behild 1t in gladness,
SUCH" cried She, true poets should
All ecstasy, rapture and sadness,
Created In moments of madness
And fashioned, o Pain, by thee.
This. sure. Is thy ripest cndeavor."
Cried Life, smiling soft as she spoke.
NOW, poet-heart, sing on forcver!"
But, alas! Earth will hear its song never
ram touched 1t once more-and it
broke

GOES OVER UNTIL NEXT MEETING
Action Postponed on Council Bluffs
Ticket Office Matter

The Omaha passenger agents who were In
attendance upon the meetings of the West
ern Passenger association in Chicago re.
turned home yesterday All the business
scheduled for the association meeting did
not come up, and the most interesting mat
ters to the public were deferred to an ad-
journed meeting that will be called some
time next week by Chairman Caldwell.
Nothing but routine association business was
transacted.
The proposition to abolish the uptown
ticket offices in Council Bluffs and the
Umon avenue ticket Offices in Kansas City
was railroaded to the program for the next
meeting 1t is generally conceded that the
movement, at least so tar as Council Bluffs
is concerned. will be defeated.
1t was expected that reduced excursion
rates for the annual meetings of a number
of national societies would be made but this
matter was also postponed until the next
meeting.
Concerning the rates for the big meeting
of the Christian Endeavorers in San Fran
cisco next summer there is already trouble
among the western passenger men. No
definite arrangements have been made as to
rates, but 1t is charged that some of the
transcontinental roads have already con-
.racted for large parties on the basis of a
round trip rate of $50 between Chicago and
San Francisco, There is some talk among
the roads OF the association of taking action
hat will compel the society to hold its meet
ing elsewhere and thus punish the roads
that have made the contracts. The matter
will be probed very carefully before any
action is taken, but there Is already much
strong feeling over it.
