Side by side in the moons pale light
Two figures sat in the early night.

Side by side in the moons pale light
Two figures sat in the early nignt.
One was a man who was half afraid,
The other timid. shrinking maid
A friendly cloud came over the sky,
And the man grew bold as it caught his
eye.
He reached an arm and he turned his face
And kissed that maid in the proper place,
And all was silent except for this:
The lonely echo of that one kiss.
She may have blushed or she may have
not;
She silently sat in that self-same spot.
While the man no syllable spoke, aloud,
But waited and watched for another cloud
The cloud soon came, and another, too,
And he did what any man would DO.
And still that maiden, who scarcely stirred,
Just sat, and uttered no single WORD
Until, as he gave her one on the cheek.
He cried: ..'oh. tell me, WHY don't you
speak?"
And the maiden said. with impatient sigh;
Not. now. Let's wait till the clouds roll

The number of Wheeling people out
of town at present is probably greater
than at any time in the past history OF
the city Estimates run all the way
from eight to fifteen hnurded, with the
probabilities that the latter number is
more nearly correct. There are be-
tween three and four hundred at At
lantic City alone, scores are along the
Lakes, on the New England coast, in
the mountains, and scattered about the
country at various small resorts, while
the fishing contingent, along the river
and nearby creeks, number hundreds
in the aggregate. There are good
many visitors in the city, as a matter
of course, but they count for little when
contrasted with those who have gone
away. The summer season of recrea-
ton is now at it's height, and present
conditions may be expected to hold I'M
til about the end of the month. when
the return of the excursionists will
commence in earnest, and they will be
coming back all during September.
From now on good many will leave
the city for belated outings, but the
number will grow less and less as the
weeks fly. July and August are the
favorite months for summer vacations,
although many people prefer Septem-
Der, and few October, which is really
the most delightful month of the year
for railroad journey of any length.
Then, as a matter of course, the regular
resorts are closed. but nevertheless
there is more solid enjoyment to be
obtained in the season of bright days
and cool nights than at any other time
of the year, for at the average sum-
mer resort it is about as warm during
the day as here in Wheeling, and only
the fact that one is away from home,
and temporarily divorced from bust
ness and care makes the situation any
better. But as long as present ideas
prevail the summer birds of passage
will fit during July and August, and
then come home to fight mosquitoes
during September and October.

ing Of two apes in the London ZOO. We

Sarah was seated alone In her cage
when a new ape made his appearance
In front Of the bars. Instantly both
animals uttered short cries, and, bend
ing toward each other, protruded their
thin lips until they met across the bars
Of the cage. Then. as the keeper threw
open the cage door, the apes rushed in
to each others arms and. squatting on
the floor. Rugged each other with comic
affection. In a few seconds they rose,
and, standing erect, raised their arms
above their heads. grasped each others
front paws and screamed and howled
In mutual appreciation.

Though conquering feet have trodden nearly all.
