LIGHTS OUT.

How often in our little boat
On summer evenings We would float
Careless 81 time. Of east and west
Ccasing from idle talk and jest.
As DER the waters restless flow,
Drifted in cadence sweet and low.
That plaintive hugle call
Lights out''
How through the OLD fort IL would ring,
Strange echoes from the classmates bring
While we would wait. our oars ut rest
Upon the rivers peaceful breast,
And watch the yellow lamp CLEANS die
At the siiycry warning sigh
OF that plaintive buglc call
Lights outl'
From fnrof camp. from land Of fears.
Ger wastes Of distance. parting, tears.
Comes tho familiar sound Of old.
Our life in darkness to cnfold.
Alone. upon life's troubled sea,
The fatcful message comes to me.
OF that plaintive buglo call
Lights oui!'

A BRACE OF PARADOxES
Eve odd ana Interesting Little Pyoblsms for the Young FOlks
 to Ponder over.

Paradox No. 1.-R you started from Chicago and walked due west, and it were possible for you to walk on un- interruptedly in the same direction. how far could you walk without ever deviating from your due westerly course. and where would you arrive finally?
 "Oh, that's ea.y!" you exclaim. ''l would walk around the earth and ar rive back in Chicago"
 Very well. Let your answer stand for the present, and take this: Two geese are here in Chicago, one stand ing facing the east and the other facing the west. and at the same mo- ment they start and fly directly as they faced, the one east and the other west. How far do these two geese travel before they meet face to face [?
 Ask your friends to help you solve this. They will probably take hold with avidity, and the answers they give you will be amusing. You your self probably think it's easy-too easy. ip fact, to worry about. Half way around the world, you say? Well, you are mistaken. The correct answer de perds altogether upon the distance which separated the m in Chicago when they started For it does Uot follow that the two geese. when one stands facing the east and the other facing the west. are back to back. They may be face to face. Do you catch on?
 Paradox No. 1.-Two persons are born at exactly the same moment in the same town. Fifty years later both died at the same instant in the same town. yet one of them had lived 100 days more than the other.
 Now. do not ask your friends to help you solve this problem. as you did with the preceding one. Buckle down to it yourself, right now. without read- ing any farther. No; there is no catch in ii; it is plain, straightforward proposition and though it is labeled paradox" it may not be paradoxical n the least when you read the ex- planation. which is this: Each of these two men made 80 trips around the 10 the west and the other going always in the opposite direction. New. he who went west around the earth lost day on each of his trips. and in 5o trips was 50 days behind the station ary stay-at-home inhabitants of his native town. He who travelled by the east gained one day by each trip. One of these men, therefore. had seen 1C0 days more than the other. though they were born and also died in the same village at the same moment, and reck- oned time by the same calendar.-Chi- cago Times-Herald.

WAR ENTHUSIASM COOLED.
Wonderful Farewell They De- sidSd Net t0 Go.

In 6 small Virginia town two ven- turesome young negroes, dazzled by ,he war-giory talk of the enlisteT. made him 6 verbal promise to meet nm at the depot on a certain day snG sign their papers and go away 10 the camp which he represented. The day came and huge crowd of their people went 10 the depot to see them off. The ,wo lads were the heroes of the hour md bore themselves with much swag. sering jauntiness, until preache called the crowd to order that they night all pray for their departing brothers.
 In that prayer he held out DO hope Jf return. but resigned them wholly death and the Spaniah bullets. "Oh. Lord, desc boys ie beer mighty dancin' Janjo-pickin' young uns, but. oh. Lorc when de shells is a-bustin' round 'em

Dick. fsrewell; we gwine to miss you considerable when de pos sums gits fat: sD when we's es,in' watermiilion we g,vins wish we could drap a lestle of de Jsise onto your burnin' tongue way down yunder in torment"
 The ordeal was too severe for the would-be sonS of MsrS. TNey wept as loudly as anyone over their supposi- tious death and punishment. and Razed loneingly back the way they had just come. Under the wailine admonitions military honor lost its charm: . sud- den beauty budded about their cast of hoe-hapdles and haloed their for. saken blows; and 70, confessing the error of their recent choice of an oc- cupation. they turned their backs on the tented field. and went instead 10 the cotton patch.
