A HUMAN SOUL.

A wise man walked by the river.
And the water spirits sigh
AS she yearned for a soul, it moved him.
And he answered thus her cryi
"Can you smile when your heart is ach-
ing?
Remember when others forget?
Laugh lightly while hope is taking
Its final farewell of you; yet
Meet the world and strive on to the end
ing
OF life, be it ever so dread,
Firm in faith, without falter unbending,
With never a sigh or a tearT'
'All this can do" said she.
"Can you face your life if left lonely,
While another has gained his rest,
And you have the memory only
OF one who was truest and best?
Forever to you the worlds brightness
Then passes away for aye;
Can pierce through that darkest day?"
'All this can do" said she.
"Can you pause to do deeds of kindness
In the midst of your deepest woe?
For grief II must not bring blindness
To the trials of others below.
You must ever strive on, and your sorrow,
Though heavy and sore to bear,
Remains till the dawn of that morrow,
When pain It is no more there"
Gan this can do" said she.
Made answer the wise man slowly;
'If this be so, and thou
Canst bear grief, yet help the suffering,
Thou hast a soul even now"

MUSICAL NOTES.

The appearance of Miss Sadie Kaiser
in Scranton on Monday evening with
Sousa's band will, no doubt, be hailed
with pleasure by the many admirers
of the talented young vocalist in this
vicinity. Since Miss Kaiser's first ap-
pearance in this city, three or four
years ago, as a sOloist in the produc-
tion of the Fall of Babylon" the voice
which made for it's possessor a local
reputation, has been steadily improved
by hard study and careful training
until today Miss Kaiser is almost with
out a peer on the concert stage. During
the past three years Miss Kaiser has
not been heard but upon few occasions
on this side of the Atlantic, but has
won many laurels by her excellent work
before the critical English audiences
while engaged in study at the Royal
Academy in London. There is little
doubt that her remarkable talents will
not fail to gain national recognition
ere the present engagement with
Sousa's band has been completed.

Duke of Marlborough is said to be
among his financial hackers. Colonel
Mapleson last visited Scranton about
five years ago, at the mead of comic
opera company, in which his wife, the
lamented Laura Schrimer, placed the
leading role. "Fadette," the opera
produced, was a dreary composition of
no merit whatever, and the talented
company engaged by the colonel were
unable to make anything out of it,
"Fadette" received a merited frost
and the Mapleson Opera company went
to pieces in a Southern town. The
members of the company walked back
to New York, and Mrs. Mapleson Sc
cured an engagement in that city
where she sang until the time of her
death.
John II. Blackwood, formerly editor
of the Scranton Sunday World, will
be treasurer of the Francis Wilson
Opera company this season. Theatri-
cal and operate managers are realiz-
ing more fully each year the value OF
bright newspaper men in their business
and a few seasons hence it is probable
that there will be few members of the
business end of theatrical enterprise
who are not graduates from journal.
ism. John Blackwood is one of the
brightest of Scranton newspaper mer
and has had much experience in the
theatrical line. There is no doubt that
he will prove one of the most valuable
members Of Mr.. Wilson's staff.

Social and
PERSONAL

The week has been delightful for golf
and the Country club has been the
scene of many lively contests. j. II.
Brooks reduced his score to 81, playing
the new course in AZ. Today will be
the match between the Golf team and
the substitutes. and much interest Is
felt in the results. on oct. the match
with Wilkes Barre will be played, to
be followed by a second on the 18th
Should the result be a tie, the match
will be played off oct %. 1t is not
probable that any special preparations
will be made in a social way for these
events
An elaborate reception will be given
Tuesday evening at the Bicycle club
house in honor of Miss Stella Seymour,
who will arrive in this city Monday
after a prolonged stay abroad. The
reception will he a particularly pleas
ant occasion as it will afford an OPP
portupity for the many friends of this
most talented and beloved townswo-
man to greet her before she again
departs for Europe. Miss Seymour
will spend but a fortnight in Scranton,
as she has in contemplation a trip to
South Africa where she may reside
for some time She will be the guest
of Mrs. II. V. Logan during the coming
week.

pect the lost time to be paid for at the
same rate as if it had been used in
service, but other people have to smile
and look pleased when their patron
forgets to appear The only person in
business who really gets even in this
matter is the dressmaker, and she, as
a rule. amply avenges all the short
comngs of womankind in general in
the lack of punctualty or total forget-
fulness of engagements.
1t often makes a great deal of differ
ence whether or not a woman makes
a practice of keeping her appointments,
and yet what a terrible bore the saw
fully" prompt woman is. and how mur-
derous she causes other less correct sis
ters to feel.
Men will always tell a lie when we
are late (unless the men are our hus-
bands, fathers or brothers) and say
1T really doesn't natter and we
know all the time it does matter a lot,
but how could we help it? Didn't the
gown we wanted to wear have to be
altered at the last minute, or didn't we
have to pause a second or two and
gaze at a lovely new hat in the shop
window? But the punctual woman,
utes behind time, looks at her watch
and frowns while an expression of
an-those-ness comes over her
countenance-wouldn we like to see
the wheel roll off her carriage, or hear
the back breadths rip from her care
fully hung gown, as she inadvertently
steps on it's hem, or have almost any
mild catastrophe happen that could

could look at our watches and frown?
But nothing ever does happen to her.
She is never late, never flurried, never
discomposed, never anything but COR
rect and good form and she will carry
out the programme to the end of the
chapter; probably even being prepared
to chide death at the last for being de-
layed beyond his scheduled time be-
cause such excellent order prevails in
the house that he believes no one to
be at home.
But this wasn't what I started to say.
Where was /? Oh, yes. the pleasant
little woman who makes you younger.
Why, she gives you face massage, of
course; fixes up your hands until even
IL you paint china or have grubby fin
gers from much meddling with the inld
bottle-(a thing women should never
allow themselves to do)-they will look
quite as if they belonged to a duchess.
She pinches and pulls your cheeks
with such deft touches, all with the
sOftest possible fingers, that the blood
tints the newly aroused skin and you
feel like a happy school girl. She
doesn't believe in steaming the visage;
nobody does any more, who knows any
thing about treatment of the face, but
| she will really cause many wrinkles
to disappear and will show how the
tired muscles may be wonderfully
| rested-an art needed in this town,
where much sunshine and bicycling
| produce queer puckered up faces on
| most women who ride, whether they
be old or young. But. dear me, have
written too much already, and will
| tell all about how to dispose OF

THE RAIN.

The earth is parched, and wearily droops
The grass and waving grain;
And Nature sighs
meath glaring skies,
And willis meath the searching pain
of the bright, bright sun
The burning sun
And longs for the rain, the rain.
The wind blows fresh from the misty
west,
And fans the fervid plain.
A cloud veil flies
Across the skies
Loud rattles the weather-vane-
And the parched earth laughs
And quaffs and quaffs
Her I'LL of the rain, the rain.
