At last Cuba has her own special issue
of postage stamps. The bureau OF en-
craving and printing has reason to be
proud of its work. as the stamps are as
pretty as any ever issued by the United
States.
The long-expected five-cent New
foundland stamp, bearing the portrait
of the duke of York, has made its ap-
pearance. The issuing of this stamp
ought to cause the London Phiiatelic
society much pleasure, as the society
will have the unique distinction OF be-
ing the only philatelic association that
numbers among its members gentle

portra;t on a postage stamp.

To keep up good supply, plant

There is curious sight to be seen

Escreet also executed the carving on

No doubt there were others declaring that

GRIsT OF OCTOBER POEMS.
In Autumn Days.

When the cool days come and the roses
fade away
There is joy. dear. in the falling of the
golden leaves and gray:
No sadness In the autumn. when the
quiet skies and blue
Have hints, dear, of the brightness of the
lovely eyes Of you!
When the cool days come there is not
a violet dies
When It dwells in dreams forever in your
unforgotten eyes!
There is something sweet in autumn-like
the memory of the spring.
For the sweet. remembered music of your
voice makes thrushes sing!
When the cool days come then. afar
think ! see
The fairest hand In all the world that lights
the lamps for me
And in the mellow twilight know there's
one will wait
With lips that whisper ''Welcomel" In the
shadows at the gate
oh, sweet. the very season. and all the
toling sweet
If only that they lead me once more to
your dear feet
No sadness in the autumn when the quiet
skies and blue
Have hints, DEAR of the brightness of
the lovely eyes of you!

October Pictures,

The pensive day Is dull and gray,
Whose banks of haze drift, swirl and fray;
Where acorns fall, and squirrels call,
The sumachs blaze beside the wall;
And in the streams the trees are stoled
In fairy dreams of fairy gold.
The bee has fed, the rose Is dead.
The apples green and brown and red.
And up the steep. through shadows deep.
see serene the bonfire creep:
The cricket shrills beneath the bars.
And nightfall spills her urn of stars.
The air is still from hill to hill,
No lily beams upon the rill:
And in the void. all chill and cold.
The pumpkin dreams-a lamp Of gold:
Rich russell glows the tented corn.
And Plenty blows her mellow horn.
Ger meadows brown the thistle-down
In pennons floats from Fairytown.
And through the mist Of amethyst
The bob-white's notes fall zephyr-kist;
And at my hearth hear her sing
Who makes with mirth my autumn spring.

For the dew is on the meadow. and the
mornings gray. sing hey!
Ant It's hey for windy October day!
And the poplar-boughs drop gold. as story

And the maple rustles crimson in the sun;
And the silver willows shiver in the breeze

And It's hey for windy October day!
