placed, and that only $4,000 remains to the
credit of the building fund. Thousands of

Egyptian Gymnastics.

In the matter of physical culture at least.
Egypt is not backward. The interest In
gymnastics is so great that a system of daily
exercise has been introduced in all the pri-
mary schools Of Cairo. Each pupil, says
the London Graphic, has on an average two
hours per week. The training consists of
club drill and gymnastics, as taught to the
British army. In the case of the boys SO
trained there is excellent reason. Some Of
these boys will eventually be passed into
the military school to pass as officers for
the army, hence the physical training Many
of their old school fellows thus trained were
in the late Atbara fight.

MY BOYS LETTER.

The clock ticks softly on the mantel shelf,
And the hands are pointing to five,
While sit and think alone by myself
And wonder that Pm alive.
The table that used to be set for two
Has now only one plate and cup,
And my kind old servant honest and true,
Begs ME vainly to sit down and sup.
But the food has no taste and almost choke
When I think Of the face bright,
And the merry laugh and the boyish joke
That seasoned the fare each night.
All, what is his fare this weary ever
Is he lying on feverish bed,
Or writing to mother, saying, mot to
Or is he one of the unknown dead?
If I only could have just one little line,
A mere scratch Of my darlng's own pen,
l could cheerfully wait and never rep1ne,
Till peace brought him home again.
I saw. when he heard that the war had come
The look that his fathers face wore
When, in 81, he left me at home
With my heart so wretched and sore.
Wounded and sick he came back to my arms
But the bloom of our youth was over;
alarms
And a sad-faced man was my lover.
Now my boy has left me- my boy so true,
Could you leave your mother, and then could
you
Neglect her and never write?
Nor has he: and so I cherish the thought
That the love- always nine. could not fall
1 must wait till all know of the triumph they
brought,
Some with life, in that leaden hail.
And when the grand news shall spread far
and wide,
When from Cuba we've cast every fetter,
Oh, government great, one favor beside,
And send me my soldier boys letter.

"John of Strathbourne."

A story Of many and varied adven-

nance of the time of Francis I. The
hero tells his own story, and that story
begins when he is only eleven years
old, when occurs the first remembered
momentous change in his life Sup
posing himself to be Jean, the son of a
dI unken charcoal burner, he Is told by
the dying Mere Tapin that his father,
supposedly an English knight, left
wounded in French peasants hut,
was murdered for his gold, and he, the
child, was left to be the drudge Of the
murderers. A ring with initials twined
in a true lovers knot and a letter
written in English, but unaddressed,
are all that the dying woman can give
Jean from his father. Kicked out from
even this heartless home after Mere
Tapin's death, he starts out to make
his own life, knowing only to treasure
the poor relics of his father He serves
various masters and has many adj
ventures Finally he is carried to a
bandits lair in mountain fastness
and Is there offered the freedom Of the
band If he complies with the single con-
d1tion Of dispatching the first prisoner
not held to ransom, Jean is horse-boy
and general drudge and remains such,

she consents in the end to let him carry

THE LADIES OFF OLD CAD1z,

I'd like to go to Cadiz,
Just to see those witching ladies'.
Those witching witching ladies', where the
orange blossoms blow:
With their dainty cigarillas,
And their quite too sweet mantillas-
Oh, to Cadiz, with its ladies, 1 will 60.
And when our guns are booming.
With a pity quite consuming
l would say: ooh. charming ladies, please to
hustle now aboard
For, although we humble Cadiz,
We don't war against the ladies,
And the ladies of old Cadiz need not fear the
Yankee sword
And with their cigarillas.
And their all-to-cute mantilas
1 would load up every cruiser with this fas-
cinating crew.
And so by easy stages
l would bring these fair hostages
All these ladies' of old Cadiz far across the
ocean blue.

that achievement rests elsewhere. But It is
safe to say that If the time and money spent
in patronizing intelligence offices were gwen
to this training school to develop it into an
effective cooperative bureau the city would
be long way ahead in the solution of the
servant question. But don't all come down
on Miss Barnes for trained servants at once
and then go away discouraged and disguised
because you don't get them. Instead, send in
your name for membership in a supporting
organization to be formed around the bureau
and thus help to bring about the millennium

wonderful richness. The rev empire is
composed of South Dakota, Nebraska.

orado, and at the time the story opens
the middle of the twentieth century

has been dead for some years. The
barren wastes of this desert region
have been fed by a system of irriga-
ton canals devised by John Harvey,
and turned into paradise Of plenty,
and the people who inhabit 1t, govern
ed by the laws left by John Harvey,
are divinely happy. The hero of the
tale-the book Is not left without

her father, and what he sees speaks of
their successful realization.
The Utopias OF the twentieth centu-
