if the State had not been hopelessly

had on the average a fair share of ex-
perience in political work and public

in that sense a. great deal of weight in
his own community. 1t is Cabinet

rather as representing the best type of

Mr. Gage, more completely than anv

WHY STOOD THEY THERE2

Ten thousand people surged around
The lofty bulletin board,
And every moment others came
To swell the surging horde.
The weak were crushed, the stronger
SWOre,
Unchecked excitement reigned,
And twenty thousand feet We're sore,
And every neck was craned.
With every moment that elapsed
The eagerneSS increased,
And people still kept crowding in
From north, west, south and east.
What was the news they waited for?
Some great affair of state?
Had mighty millions gone to war
To settle freedoms fate?
Was some great gift for all mankind
To be announced that day?
All, no! Two brutes were in the ring
Three thousand miles away.

See yon golden fingers creeping low
All low across the hilltops damp with

It's night dew and frost now all aglow.

Birth of but a wintry day, with bluest

Now comes the news of her reception

Miss Sibyl Sanderson has been sing
ing at the Imperial Theater in st. Pc

Her debut was made in Romeo and
Juliet when the waltZ-song was en-
cored, and she was recalled twenty
times Later she sang 'Manon,' with
the tenor Van Dyck, four times a
week. After one of the representa-
lions, the charming singer was called
to the imperial box, where the Car
personally congratulated her in the
most enthusiastic terms. She has just
been singing with equal triumph as
Marguerite (Gounod). A grand con-
cert in her honor has been organized at
the palace of the Grand Duke Vladi-
mir. Success, recalls, enthusiasm ev-
erywhere."
These new triumphs of Sibyl Sander
