Lost Light.

That sunshine on her face
That used to make this worn earth seem
At times so gay place.
The same dear eyes look out at me:
The features are the same:
But. o, the smile Is out OF them.
And must be to blame.
Sometimes I see 1t still; / went
With her the other day
To meet lons-missed friend. and while
We still were on the way
Her confidence In waiting love
Brought back to me to see
The old-time love light to her eyes
That will not shine forme.
They tell me money waits for me.
They say might have fame.

AS others like the same.
But care not for what have
Nor lust for what lack.
One 1.-THE as much US my heart longs.
To call that lost light back.
Come back, dear banishcd smile. come
back.
And into exile drive
All thoughts and aims and Jealous hopes
That in thy stead would thrive.
Who wants the earth without Its sun.
And what has life for me
That's worth n thought. II as its price,
II leaves me robbed office?

A Singing Machine.

Rev. S. Barring Gould has been
7arrating some OF his experiences
when he was collecting the many
traditional Songs in the West"
which he has since published. From
one old man in the neighborhood of
Law Trenchard, he obtained at least
100 songs. This man, James Par
sons by name, was known as the
Singing machine. 1t is narrated
that he was one evening in a public
house at Lydford, when bet was
made that he could not go on sing
ing fresh songs until the sun rose.
He was to have pint of ale for
every song he sang. When he be-
gan Parsons had already been sing
ing all the evening, and had drunk
not a little. Nevertheless, he sang
on through the night, one song after
another, until the sun rose, and
thus won his bet. The performance
is probably unique.
Scene of Hannibars Greatest Victory.
Cannae, where Hannibal won his
greatest victory over the Romans,
is situated on the opposite side of
the peninsula from the city of Rome,
on the river Auidus, and about six
miles from its mouth. 1t was from
this battlefield that Hannibal sent
to Carthage three bushels of gold
rings from the fingers of the Roman
knights slain in the battle. Cannae

Whom I. a woman Old?

This query on my mirror hung:
when Is woman old?"
1t clings to me, and long has chung
The answer must be told!
An. some are old before half way.
And some are never old:
For these but laugh life's cares away.
While those both fret and scold!
And yet 1t Is no easy task,
However well controlled.
To answer one. II she should ask:
When Is n woman old"
The young ones never ask you, sir,
The answer to unfold
The old ones only ask you. sir:
When is a woman old?"
Conceltcd ones are never So
Unhappy ones too soon;
But wise ones love life's morning glow.
And prize It's afternoon.
The graceful old ones are still young.
And those alone are old
Who try to make themselves look young
When age has taken hold.
The old In years who live among
Those younger in heirhearts.
Will find themselves remaining young
Long after youth departs
AS long Us women cling TO youth.
And disregard their age.
They never can be old forsooth-
Their youth fills up the page.
Yes, some are old before their time
Old age usurps their youth:
And some are young beyond their prime
Unless they hide the truth.

Warren Given n Long Term.

I'm my opinion you are just the sort OF
man that ought to be locked up," remarked
Judge Kimball yesterday in the Police
Court to James Warren. You will have to
furnish real estate bonds in the sum OF
500 or go to the workhouse for six months.
Warren was arrested Thursday night by
Policeman Sears for. an alleged attempt
to rob a man named John Douglas. The
latter claimed that he was minus y. AT
the station house, however, no money was
found on either Warren or Douglas when
searched.
Greenwood Johns told the court that
Douglas was drunk at 14th and Z streets.
Il watched Warren for twenty minutes,
said Greenwood, land all that time he was
going through Douglas pockets. After the
policeman took the men away l found this
81 bill under an iron girder where they
were sitting"
Il didn't take anything from that man,
declared the defendant. He was drunk
and 1 was just trying to get him home"
Warren's plea had no effect on the court
the sentence stated being then imposed.
