A WOMANiS DESIRE.


Who can tell what q woman wants?
She is creature of words and kiss
eS,
The bigs things count with her as
naught-
It's the little one that she misses.
A bunch of violets, a fond caress,
Mean more than a million of gold;
A. loving glance, tuoch of a hand
To her dear story unfold.
And she doesn't care if hes wretchedly
poor,
If he loves her, and her alone;
And the flower and the kiss, and the
soft caresses.
For creature comforts atone.
But if he thinks his duty done
When he clothes her and gives her
food
He will find a rebellious heart to fight
In the woman whom he has wooed.
And ola byy day, the years go by,
And the chasm wider grows,
lie will wonder how and where he
failed,
But it's the woman alone who knows.

AN UMBRELLA DECISION.
A Learned Jurists Opinion on an Inter
esting Question.

Learned Jurists Opinion on an Inter
esting Question.
The law as to umbrellas was settled
once for all by Lord Coleridge in a
leading English case, says the Chicago
News. His Lordship held:
Umbrellas properly considered, are
part of the atmospheric or metereolo-
gical condition, and, as such. there can
be no individual property right in them.
In Sampson VS.. Thompson, defendant
was charged with standing on PLAINTIFF s
front steps during a storm and thereby
soaking up a large quantity of rain to
which plaintiff was entitled. But the
court held that the rain was any mans
rain, no matter where the rain fell. 1t
follows, therefore that the umbrella is
any mans umbrella. In all ages rain
and umbrellas have gone together and
there is no reason why they should be
separated IN law. An umbrella may.

WHAT THERE is TO FORGET.

Forget the hand of friendship
Forget the deed it's done:
Forget the lonely widows
And the mothers mangled son;
Forget the peace surrounding
Our brave and loyal men;
Forget the Maine explosion
And the waters surrounding them.
W+#srs.sSa usss~ j
Forget the cries of the dying
As they floated down the tide.
Mid debris and darkness lying
And sinking side by side.
Forget Havana's harbor,
The graveyard of our dead,
And the blood OF dying heroes,
Turning its waters red.
Forget the starving Cubans
Our friendship went to aid:
Forget the treacherous power
The debt of charity paid.
Think for the peace of our people
The blessings it brings to men,
Think of the wives and mothers,-
What war would mean TO them.
Forget it, Oh people! forget it,
For the sake of him who laid
Upon the cross of Calvary,
BY friendships hand betrayed.
