THE WOMEN WHO WAIT.

He went to the war in the morning
The roll of the drums could be heard,
But he paused at the gate with his mother,
For kiss and a comforting word
He was full of the dreams and ambitions
That youth is so ready to weave,
And proud of the clang of hts saber
And the chevrons OF gold on his sleeve.
He came from the war in the evening
The meadows were sprinkled with snow,
The drums and the bugles were SILENT
And the steps of the soldiers were slow,
He was wrapped in the flag of his country
When they laid him away in the mold,
With the glittering stars of captain
Replacing the chevrons of gold.
With the heroes who sleep on the hillside
He lies with flag at his head,
But, blind with the years OF her weeping,
His mother yet mourns for her dead.
The soldiers who fall in the battle
May feel but moment of pain,
But the women who wait in the homesteads
Must dwell with the ghosts of the slain.

THE MERCANTILE LIBRARY.

c AN FRANCISCO is rich and generous, her
people have attained high degree of literary
- taste and general scholarship, but she will make
but poor showing for her wealth, her liberaity or
her culture ii she permits the Mercantile Library to
be forced to close its doors by reason of lack of
patronage and support.
The Mercantile has many claims upon the people
OF San Francisco 1t is of the oldest institutions
in the city organized for the public good and its
career OF usefulness dates back to the days of the
pioneers 1t is therefore object of historic inter
est as well as OF literary value and appeals strongly
to all who desire TO perpetuate the city the works
OF the founders of the commonwealth
During the period of its existence the library has
been of incalculable benefit to thousands It's hos
pitabe readingrooms and stores of books have been
sources from which strong intellectual impulse
emanated and either directly indirectly affected the
whole community. Even under the present adverse
conditions and with heavy burden of debt upon it
the library continues to be institution of prime i'm
portance, one of the notable features of the CITY
1t every person who has derived benefits from the
library would contribute to it but 1.-THE of what
those benefits have been worth the mortgage now
resting upon it would be paid off and handsome
surplus remain as permanent fund to support it.
Nor should it be difficult to arouse all bene6ciariss Of
the institution to contribute something to save it
from the fate that now threatens it. If one or two
liberal men of wealth who have been long associated
with 1t would lead in giving the required support it
is more than likely that others would gladly follow.
AS matter OF fact if a we'll devised plan for re-
lieving the library put forward and directed by
energetic men the support given would not be con-
fined to the membership Of the association nor to
those who have been habitual readers of its books
There would be generous response from the general
public. The association is one of which the com,
muniy at large is proud 1t owns the best and most
stately library building in the city, and presents the
finest architectural monument that has vet been
raised in San Francisco to learning aid literature
1t is therefore institution in which all persons ~
any civic pride take interest and if rightly appealed
to that interest would undoubtedly be responsive in
the way of material help
