DESERTED.
BY-ALICE CARY.

Seven great windows looking seward,
Seven smooth columns, white and high;
There 1t was we made our bright plans,
Mildred Joselyn and l.
Three red hollihOcks were open,
BY yon stone wall, low and gray,
IT was the moonlight and the midnight
OF the middle OF the May.
On the porch, now dark and lonesome,
Sat we us the hours went by,
Fearing nothing, hoping all things,
Mildred Joselyn and [.
Singing low and pleasant ditties,
Kept the trelcss wind his way,
Through the moonlight and the midnight
OF the middle Of the May.
Not for sake OF pleasant dittics,
Such us winds may sing or sigh,
Sat we on the porch together,
Mildred Joselyn and l.
Shrilly crew the cock so watchful,
Ans xering to the watch-dog's bay,
In the moonlight and the midnight
OF the middle Of the May.
Had the gates OF heaven been open
We would then have passed them by.
Well content with earthly pleasures,
Mildred Joselyn and l. s.
have seen the bees thick flying,
Azure-winged and ringed with gold;
have seen the sheep from washing
Come back to the snowy fold;
And her hair was bright us bees are,
Bees with shining golden bands;
And no wool was ever whittier
Than her little dimpled hands.
on we promised to be lovers,
HOwe'er fate our faith should try,
Giving kisses back for Kisses
Mildred Jos.lyn and |.
Tears, sad tears be stayed from falling,
Ye can bring no faintcst ray
From the moonlight and the midnight
OF the middle OF the May.
II some friend would come and tell me,
"On your Mildred's eyes 81 blue
Grass has grown, but on her deathbed
She was saying prayers for YOU"
Here beside the smooth white columns
should not so grieve to-day,
For the moonlight and the midnight
OF the middle OF the May.

ONE OF THEM.-A gentleman left
his seat in a crowded railway car to 60
in search Of something to eat, leaving
q rug to show that the seat was re-
served. On his return he discovered
that in spite Of the rug and the pro-
tests Of his fellow passengers the seat
had been usurped BY woman. 10
his protestations her reply vast "Do
you know, sir, that l am one Of the
directors wives?" MADAM" he re.
marked calmly, "were you the direc-
tors only wife I should still protest.
1t Is quite safe to say there was an
angry woman on that train, and that
the sarcastic man did not remain long
In her presence.

struck Mrs. Amen on the crown VI her

An Iowa exchange says: 1.-THE ladies
Of the Methodist church at Governor
brakes home advertised that they
would wear bloomers while serving,
the other evening. The whole town
turned out, including men who had
not been to church since they were
wheeled in baug cabs. The ladies
kept their word, but the blo0mers
were large, red roses pinned in the u.s.
ual pluce. Some one was wise enough
to make all attendants pay before they
entered the church, ,'and the proceeds
were enormous"

A VICTIM.
BY JEAN ARLElGH.

I had always made it a point to
steer clear OF widows, "grass" or 9TH
erwise. and that is the reason why on
my arrival home after an absence OF
several years l made up my mind to
give wide berth to the pretty Mrs.
Dumas, whom my former chums were
forever raving about. Philip James
in particular. who Is an old especial
friend, aggravated me by continually
talking of her.
"You'rc a fool, Phil" l calculated
in evaporation. after listening pa
tiently for nearly half an hour one
day, and my chum went on something
in this way:
"You must meet her, Alan for she
|is just your style andthe iollicst fun
good looking and no nonsense about
her"
He would have kept on, but l stop
ped him with the above quoted ex-
pl0siOn.
"You're completely spoiled, Alan,"
returns my unruf1led chum. "You
have riches and girls all thrown at
your head, so its just as well that you
keep up your spite against our god
dess."
".You're away Off, old man," l an
swcr. ~ have no spite against your
divinity. / don't know her, and don't
want to-"
| Whereupon Philip makes the com
forting remark "that he had told hel
So" "At least told her that you
hated widows on general principles,
he added, as lie saw my astonisheo
look.
