How Did Jl.n KnoMf

For several years my early morning
walk lay through the first block of
West Fifty-seventh street, where / used
regularly to meet a milkman delivering
milk. He would take from his wagon a
rack containing several bottles and go
from house to house, while his old gray
horse walked sedately on alone.
One morning as ] was passing the
pair midway the block the man said to
his horse:
go on, Jim, and turn at No. T."

put himself at the mercy of capitol
guide The guide makes profound and
obsequious bow, like a prestidigitator
about to charm an audience, and pro-
ceeds to lift the veil which hides the
mysteries of the great building.
On recent occasion the guide led
the stranger regretfully past "McGin-
ty's'' empty frame and proceeded to
identify the heads of notables that deco
rate the stairway. He did fairly well
until the stranger pointed out Shakes
peare and Homer and asked who they
were
"Them, replied the guide, undaunt-

Stealthily in ghos ly yelling
Fleeing, scattered in her fight
Whereso'er herNmant.e trailing,
Brushed and bent each grassy spear
Bounties of dew silver here.

Like far sea phosplorescent,
Passing down the mountain groves,
Dawn to kiss the lakes blue crescent,
Golden arrows falling ever
From her loose rose belted quiver.
Silken strands of thistle down
Woven by the pixie maiden)
Glitter, and the coral crown
Wherewith every hawthorn's laden,
Fen as if in rubies set,
Sparkles with the hoar frost wet.

Throstles see and rise to hymn 1t,
