A POETS MESSAGE.
HoRTENSE BOOTH GILLESPIE.

YWN HERE lived poet with heart
k1 @N bursting with unsung Joy.
M HN She was happy with the trees
SaSy and flowers, the birds and all
the living, moving world
about her. The very air she breathed
was an untold delight to her, with its
hint of half-forgotten scents.
The hills, their beds of dainty daisies,
the wild, free gusts of wind, and sudden
sweet rains; the valleys with their coy,
hidden violets and laughing, bubbling
springs, all gave her exquisite joy, and
the music in her heart caused it to leap
and throb in the effort for expression.
But the older poets, wiser than she,
shook their heads and said, ''Not yet. I
At the poets sigh they answered,
"Thou canst not sing till thou hast
tasted sorrow it is useless"
So she lived her happy life on, with
unwritten poems speaking from hel
eyes, and every thought gem.
Then the Other One came, and they
loved, and the poet knew no sorrow
The music of her soul sang-sang, unre
strained but for the two alone.
"Surely now it is time?" she ques
toned the Wise Ones. But they SHOOK
their heads again.
"Waste not thy strength and talents
o, Poet! thou canst not sing until sor
row hast touched thee"
And she, yielded again, not sorrow
fully, but gently, quietly.
Then one happy day the Little Ont
came; he nestled up to her heart an(
cooed at her surprise, and echoed tht
music within her.
A little roem, love poem he seemed
to her; AID at last the music would no
be hushed, but burst forth gloriously
startling the listeners.
But still again they stopped her, "No
yet, not yet," and once more the Lowell,
music was quieted.
Then the Little One left her and tn,
poet and the Other One clasped hand
tenderly, silently, over their loss.
'Now the time has come; pour fOrtl
the volume of song, more powerful
richer and truer from the long re
straint." So they urged her.
She shook her head sadly. The mel
ody was gone from her forever. Her
was the song of joy, and sorrow ha'
killed it.
They, the wiseacres, wist not tina
there are poets of light, and poets Q
shadow, and they assured her that
would return.
But it came not, too long had it bee
1 pent up, and the Little One bad cal:.;ss.
/ the music with him When he left.

The Tale of a Town,

Lo, there was on time city OF some
half hundred thousand inhabitants, and
the city was built up with many large
houses, and the streets were paved with
brick and with macadam, and it was
situated in the heart of the hills, and
was fair to look upon. And behold
there was much black mud upon the
streets paved with brick, and there was
much white mud upon the streets
whereon there was macadam, and the
ladies of the town did sorely soil their
skirts, and the men of the town did
spoil patent-leather shoes upon the
same. And there was in the city a
large market-house, the pride of the
people, and it was well built, of brick,
fair place for traffic in meats and in
vegetables. And behold, carts and
wagons lay thick about the market and
on the streets on either side, and in the
front and at the back of the same, and
people did eat of melons and of fruits OF
all kinds and did fill the streets with
peelings and cores and rinds and other
remnants that they cared not to eat, SO
that no small drove of swine might have
been fattened from what could have
been gathered from the street about
these carts. And the odor of the same
was dreadful to the nostrils of the fas-
tidious, but, an they liked it not, could
they not dwell elsewhere?
And behold the city fathers met, and
one said to another let us have clean
city, and the city lathers arose, and spat
tobacco juice upon the floor, and wiped
| %l .uith ho fao ~ h dol hnpt n
said, eco, to, let us frame an expecto
rating ordinance, so that should any one
spit upon our fair sidewalks the same
shall be punished with fine; and the
city fathers rolled their guilds in theil
cheeks and spat upon the floor, and said
cit is well, we will do this thing, we
will have clean city,"
And behold it was noised abroad il
the land that the city fathers had done
this thing, and the papers boasted O
the progress of the city and belaude(
these same city fathers, and said to sis
ter cities, "see how clean we are. !"
And behold one walked through th'
streets of the city day after day aftel
the ordinance was passed, and saw to
bacco juice in as large gobs as eve
upon the sidewalks, and there was foot
for swine in the streets and the ma
cadam was with mud as of yore, ant
there was no diminution of the blacl
mud upon the brick. And the SAM
hied him to his home, and sat and re
fected, and then he smiled, and then h
laughed. And one came to him an,
said "why do you laugh?" And he an
swered and said laugh at the joke O
the city fathers, and how keen a sens
of humor they have, for behold the
i will let barrels Of rubbish be heape,
upon the streets in all directions, an
take no pains to remove the same, an
hide themselves successfully behind
theoretically clean sidewalk and laugl
at their own joke, and silly spit upo
the sidewalk to show their own concer
tion of the value of the ordinance the
} have passed.

OCTOBER.
R. S. A., JR.

SO crisp and clear, octobers here,
With myriad brilliant eyes;
No regal train can e'er attain
Such glow as in it lies.
No other air is half so fair,
And pure, and clear, and sweet;
No other light is half so bright
For Eden half so meet.
The forests CLEAN by hill aud stream,
With ev'ry varied tint,
And ey'ry breeze watts from the trees
Bright showers without stint.
The wondrous light of strange twilight
Plays DER the western sky;
The golden tinge rests like fringe
Around the clouds piled high.
But brighter still the joys that fill
The happy er ming hours
The moments spent in sweet content
With hearts that beat with ours.

MOTHER AND NANNY

This soulful bit of verse is by Miss
Howard Weldon, of Huntsville, Ala.
She verify seems to have dipped both
pen and brush in her heart to write of
the absent" to whose memory she
dedicates her book, ''Shadows on the
Wall" The illustrations, embodying
as they do, types of the old-time darkey,
are by her facile brush, and are both
graphic and tender.
Among the ranks Of shining saints,
Disguised in heavenly splendor,
Two mothers faces wait for me,
Familiar still, and tender.
One face shines whittier than the dawn,
And steadfast as a star;
None hut my mothers face could shine
So bright-and be so far
The other dark one leans from heaven,
Brooding still to calm me;
Black as If ebon rest had found
Its image In my mammyl

In terror, huddle close as covering fleece,
With heads bent low as mourningI shattered

people-and by "best class" we do not
mean simply the richest class but the
best moral and intellectual class, can
give and be given entertainments.
Where minister of the gospel if he
wishes to do so can entertain his friends.
Where all the womens' organizations
can have convenient meeting place.
1t is the only "womans' building" in
the South and it is the earnest desire
of the management to have it reflect
honor upon the business ability and
moral purpose of our women.

Capt BatsOn and His Maccabebes.
From Golfers Weekly
Ihese Maccabebe scouts are the first
members of that native army which In the
future we no doubt will find to our aaysn-
tage In policing the Philippines The Mac
caceDe5 belong to a different clan from
that OF the Tagalogs They hate the Taga-
logs like poison, and ever since we occupied
the little section of territory that they call
home they have been begging US to put
rifles in their hands In order that they
might strike at their old enemies. They
We're the basis of the native regiments
Whlcn did such excellent work for the
Spaniards.
Capt. Batson. lately lieutenant in the
4th Cavalry, who is commanding the Mac
cabebes, is in his element. Already they
nave engaged about twice their number of
the enemy, driving them from their
trenches, taking two TagalOg officers and
several other prisoners. 1t was Batson who
captured the town of Quingua with seven
cavalrymen. and it was Batson and Capt.
Wheeler who stood off four hundred Fill
pinos when eleven of their twenty-five men
were wounded and dying. The same Bat
son and Capt. Sawtelle of Gen. MacAr-
thurs staff would sit up till midnight play
ing chess by candlelight when they had to
go into action again next morning He is
one OF those young men Of the regular army
best described by the word thoroughbred.
This class is quiet-mannered. with wo-
mans constituencies to a sharp word from
superior officer, never firing, smiling,
cool-headed and quick-witted in the face of
danger, watching carefully that every IMAM
takes advantage of cover, If possible, but
never taking cover themselves. Batson
would make good cavalrymen out of the
clumsiest, most awkward creatures on
earth. They would believe him and follow
him anywhere. But, unfortunately, in all
wars it is generally the Batsons who are
killed.
