QUEEN vICToRIA's CORONATION.

The following poem by Alfred Austin.
poet laureate OF England. was written
upon the sixsy-first anniversary OF Queen
yictoria's coronation, which occurred on
June y last:
The birds were biithe. the woods were
green.
When forth there came. as fresh as
dawn
A maiden with majestic mien
They grit q crown about her brow
They placed q scepser In her hand,
And loud rang out nations vow,
God guard the Lady OF the Land.''
And now the cuckoo calls once more,
And once again June's roses blow,
And round the throne her people pour.
Recalling the long years ago.
And all the goodiy days between.
Glory and sorrow. love and pain.
The wifely Mother. widowed Queen.
The loftsest as the longest reign.
She shared her subjects bane and bliss.
Welcomed the wise. the base w!thstood.
Ard allowed by her pure gKs * n
ne greatest greatness TO be good.
fet while for peace she wrought and
prayed.
She bore the trident, wore the helm.
An empire Of her island realm.
50. gathering now from near, from far,
From rule where never sets the day,
From southern Cross anEs Northern Star.
Her people aff their hearts and pray:
Long snd Still longer may she reIsn,

GAINED FREEDOM ny A PICTURE
How IN Americas Was Freed FRon

How IN American Was Freed FPen
. Peruvian Dungeon.
A member Of the camera club tells with
some pride OF an incident which happened
while he was travelling In South America
for photography.
1t was In one OF the cities OF Peru, and
an American acquaintance Of mine who was
there temporarily on business was trotting
me around among the sights Of the town.
After We had visited most OF the show
places he said ont day:
NOW. want you to see the old dungeon
OF a prison which they have here. but II Is
place where you can't take your camera.
The rules are very severe against that. I
wish you could. though, FOR you would get
some mighty interesting pictures. These
people are unrelent.ng 5aiiors and some OF
their treatment OF the prisoners Is pretty
medieval In its character.
why. they have an American there now
for some alleged Insult TO the government.
and he Is kept incomunicado. as they call
it--that IS. IN a cell removed from those Of
the other prisoners and SO strictly guarded
that he can communicate with nobody.
'sThey don't care much about having WIS.,
! itors see him. but as you pass hts cell. II
he happens TO be near the front. you can
sometimes catch q glimpse Of him through
the bars. His friends are trying to get
him out. but none OF them has been able
TO see him. and there IL some difficulty in
proving that the prisoner 10 really their
man."
See here" said I, this II q chance for
me. l have a small camera with me which
folds almost fiat--it Il a device OF my own
and i will guarantee that l can get X by
the guards When we are drawing near to
the American cell you give me q sign and
will be ready. Perhaps luck W.T.. favor
Us"
Well. smuggling the camera In was easy.
Even IL those keepers had found 1t they
wouldn't have recognised IL as one. "A wc
came near the 'incomuntcAdo" cell my
friend nudged me and. without attracting
attention from the accompanying guards.

our good fortune. There q little distances
In front Of me stood my unfortunate coun-
tryman. leaning wearily against the bars OF
his cell and looking fun at MS. The guards
seeing him at the front OF his cell, seemed
anxious to hurry US by, but they did not
do so until after my quiet and unohscrved
little snap shot was made.
And the best part Of thes whole story Is
that the man was actually released by
means OF that picture. When developed
and printed II was an excellent likeness
and through II his friends were able to
prove his identity. Within short time
the injustice OF his arrest was established,
In spite OF the authoritiea and he was set
free.-New York Tribune.

Way-up Marriage apd Divorce.

In the olden time great Mount Hood
Was seeking for q bride,
Among the snow-clad mounts that stood
Along each grand divide.
And seeing the snow-whte Miss Rainier,
With head up the skies
He said to her. Il think. dear.
You're just about my size"
Thus old Mount Hood the question pop'd.
While raiIfhows bent bridge.
And avalanches both mounts dropd
And formed the Cascade ridge.
The thunders roild. the deluge pour'd. p
While Cupid shrieked. well done"
And laundering volcanoes roared.
1.-TWO mighty souls made one.'
Their children up ali around
On the Cascade watersheds.
All truly thoroughbred and crowned
With purest snow-white heads.
But. alas IN the after days.
Hood and Rainier parted:
The tricks that man and nature played
Left them broken hearted.
Rainier claims THE Columbia gap
And the floods OF that river.
The golden chain In twain did snap
Drawing love Hood gave her."
And she confirms that shameful tale
