looked one night, and the Semiramis,
With all her mourning doves above her
head,
Sat rocking on an ancient road to Hell,
Withered and eyeless, chanting to the
moon
Snatches of song they sang to her of old
Upon the lighted roofs of Heaven.
And then her voice rang out with rat
Ting laugh;
"The bugles! They are crying back
again
Bugles that broke the nights of Babylon,
And then went crying on through
Nineveh.
Stand back, ye trembling messengers OF

quell
Insurgent cities. let the iron tread
OF armies shake the earth. Look, lofty
towers;
Assyria goes by upon the wind ~
And so she babbles by the ancient road,
While cities turned to dust upon the
earth
Rise through her whirling brain to live
again
Babbles all night, and when her voice
is dead
Her weary lips beat on without a sound.
THE MAN UNDER THE STONE.
When see a workingman, with mouths

Up day after day, in the dark before

And coming home night after night,
through the dusk,
Swinging forward, like some fierce, ST.

up an endless steep;
He strains it onward, inch by stubborn
inch,
Crouched always in the shadow of the
rock.
See where he crouches, twisted, cramp-

He lifts for their life;
The veins knot and darken-
Blood surges into his face
Now he loses-now he wins
Now he lOses-loses-(God of my soulD

There's moment of terrific effort
Will the huge stone break his hold,
And crush him as it plunges to the gulf?
The silent struggle goes on and on,
Like two contending in dream.

That Worn by the YOung Man of the
Period Would Make Solomon
Look Like Thirty Cents.

Some hopeful people had an idea last sum-
mer that the limit had about been reached
in the loud colors of mems attire, in shirts,
ties, hosiery and soft hats, and that this
summer might see return to more placid
and subdued hues and patterns as a sort of
reaction. The advance styles in the win
dows of the haberdashers' shops indicate
that such hopes are vain and that linen and
things will this year be even more startling
than last season, if that be possible. Some
of the shirts on display in the windows seem
to actually shrek through the glass at the
observer, and the width of the stripes is of
the general style and pattern SO long popu-
lar at Joliet penitentiary. These conversa-
tional shirts have gradually grown worse
and worse each year until now the pessimists
do not see how anything worse can happen
than the things which are now on sale.

last year and its side partner, the blue crush
hat, have rival this year in pale white hat,
with the under side of the brim and also the
band of deep blue, making q striking con-
trast of color, which seems to be what is
most particularly desired.

Americans in that vicinity. The report

advices were obtainable.

backs, when once redeemed in gold, to

national banks to issue notes to the

per cent, as at present, and permitting
the minimum of national banks to be
S25, 900 instead of $50, 900, as at present.

The Blind Goddess.

Intensely modern is the new murder story
by Randall Irving Tyler, entitled ''The
Blind Goddess" There is, it seems, evolu-
ton in murder stories as well as in every
thing else.
Those who read Tyler's "Four Months
After Date and said the book was clever
though perhaps weighted down with bust
ness transactions, will find in The Blind
Goddess, just issued, a novel drawn in a
new vein, but full of dramatic climaXes.
many who never read murder stories, in
cidents are used familiar to all who have
followed the recent poison cases.
The prosecuting officers theory of the
crime, the appalling accusation of the in.
nocent daughter of one of the murdered
around and against man of unblemished
character, who is also accused, the defense
less position both of these people occupy
before the coroner, the subsequent indict-
ment without hearing before magistrate
all these things make the reader think.
PRODUCES diversion in the person of an ad-
ventures, for whose presence no apology is
offered, as it turns out that she is the real
culprit.
The occasional glimpses of an exclusive
social circle, the charming heroine Helen
Brownell, the strong willed but intensely
human Sanford Crane, offer opportunities
for Mr.. Tyler's ability in character sketch
ing which he has not neglected; even the
adventures challenges admiration at times
by the boldness and GOODNESS of her method.
The title, as will be readily understood,
applies to the more serious side of the novel,
which has to do with prosecution for cap
ital crime; but the well-handled romance
running through it all and the satisfactory
denouement make "The Blind Goddess a
marvelously entertaining book, running over
with surprises in its movement and its lit.
erary style. It is more than absorbing; it is
compelling. Stuyvesant Publishing Com

ROBERT G. INGERsoLL.

g Life is a narrow vale between
the cold and barren peaks of two
eternities. We strive in vain to
look beyond the heig hts. We
cry aloud, and the only answer is
the echo of our wailing cry. From
the voiceless lips of the unreply-
ing dead there comes no word,
but in the night of death hope
sees.a star and love can hear the
rustl1ng of a wing
The sentiments expressed above
by Robert G. 1ngersoll over the
bier of his brother, have all the
elements of unalloyed sincerity,
by man who had reached the
zenith of human life and who had
searched and researched the ar
chives of prehistoric, ancient and
modern lore, with truth as a bea-
con-light and reason the rudder.
When asked if there was God,
he answered, 81 do not know =
He neither would deny or affirm;
hence he was not an infldel. He
could not recognize the God OF
any of the seven bibles and three
thousand creeds and be true tc
himself. The moral law, with
love and hope as the anchor, was
guide of the soul. To him moth
ing exists OF ever did exist SUPER
natural. Goodness was his God
and God is good; faith is simply
a bridge which may or may no
rest on the rocks of truth. HI
added much to human JOY. Say
| you that his feet wake unseernl,
echoes in the silent halls of death,
Bon jour.
