In tender sympathy the leaves
AID tinkling brook below.
For Imogene no longer strays
Beneath the grateful shade.
Her eyes iiiuuined by the rays
OF -Hght-half afraid.
The listening flowers and brook and

Her secret should divine.
And then the idle, tattling breeze
To publish it decline.
Funeral songs the weird wind weaves,
The dirge of broken hearts.
In strain in which 1t always grieves
For souls when torn apart.
Yet family, sweetly, from afar
There breathes another strain.

Unlocks thy prison door,
Your souls will not an instant linger

Gov. Roosevelt the Husband.

IL was evident to any one who

tempted two or three times to sneak
but his voice was lost in the no;sa
before 1t had travelled a yard. Inst
at the height of the excitement he
turned his head and caught sight Of
the smiling face of his wife in the
gallery at the right. Instantly there
came over his countenance an indie
scr'bable expression of recognition
OF her presence, and he gave her .

said, as plainly as words. "You share
the honor with me,"-Abby G.. Baker

policeman's huge frame were in i'm
minent peril. If prisoner, arrested
on the most trivial charge, breaks
away and runs out comes the revolver
and his life is placed in jeopardy,
though he may be charged only with
vagrancy or some such offense and
would be discharged in court the next
morning.
The Japanese police, says Mr.. Fujita,
carry no firearms-indeed, revolvers
and similar weapons are scarce there
outside of the army, and the consul
declares the result is that there are
almost no footpads and holdups in the
cities. He admits that there are many
pickpockets, but the hold-up man with
his gun is almost unknown.
In Toxic there are BATS police
officers travelling beats-one for each
$50 inhabitants. In addition there is a
mounted force of 251 inspectors" cor
responding TO the Chicago patrol ser
geant" and the New York rounds
man." whose duty is to keep an eye on
the patrolmen and see they are per-
forming their duties. There are
twenty-five principal police Officers"
or stations and ten branch stations,
the former commanded by captains
and the branches by lieutenants. And
In addition to these there is feature
which might well be copied in Chicago.
1t is this: Scattered through the city
at various prominent points are 405
little houses, like patrol boxes, only
enough larger to accommodate four
policemen. In each of these two
policemen are always on duty, while
two others on the same beat are patrol
ling the district. Every two hours
they change off, so there are always
two policemen there on call in addition
to the men on post.
These boxes are connected with the
stations by signal boxes and telephones
exactly as our patrol boxes are, and the
officers are required to report their
movements at regular intervals. The
advantage over the Chicago system is
that there are always policemen in the
patrol-houses, should they be sought by
citizens. Here policeman on his
beat cannot be found unless the seeker
chances to be in the very block with
him. He may be only around the cor
ner but If he is out of sight the
citizen who wants an officer in hurry
might as well be mile away. In
Toxic the man who wants a policeman
has but TO look up and down the street
for police patrolhouse and he is sure
to get two policemen. They do some
things better over there.

WOMEN DRINK TOO MUCH.

Habits Of Intemperance.

Charge That They Are ACQUIRING
Habits of Intemperance.
There are many women from higher
classes of society going to the House
OF the Good Shepherd voluntarily to
get away from liquor.
Peppermint drunkards are usually
women. They are very difficult to
cure When drunk to excess the pep
permint preparations have the same
effect upon the system as has absinthe.
The habit of drinking light wines
among the women OF the upper classes
ana OF beer drinking among those of
the lower classes is growing. They
all meet on the common level of
whisky, however. Radical measures
are needed to check it."
Mrs. M. T. Lake of st. Louis has
raised a storm about her ears by de-
ciarlng that intemperance is alarm
lngly on the increase among society
women. She says: "At many after
noon teas intoxicating LIQUOR has taken
the place of tea to noticeable extent.
Ihere is where the young debutantes
begin to acquire the taste for stimu-
lants. 1t is added to by the wine
served at their dinners Soon they do
not care to eat unless they have their
cocktails first. The rest follows as
matter OF course. There is but one
sure cure-stop the manufacture of
intoxicating liquor.

The Silent searchers.
When the darkness of night has
fallen

When the darkness of night has
fallen,
And the birds are fast asleep,
An army of silent searches
From tbs dusky shadows creep;
And over the quite meadows,
Or amid the waving trees,
They wander about with their tiny
lamps
That flash IN the evening breeze.
And this army of silent searches,
Each with his Pickering light,
Wanders about till the morning
Has driven away the night.
What treasures they may be seeking
No man upor earth can know;
Perhaps It's the home of the FAIRIES,
Who lived in the long ago.
For an ancient legend tells us
That once, when the fairy king
Had summoned his merry minstrels
At the royal feast to sing,
The moon, high over the tree-tops,
With the stars, refused to shine,
And an army with tiny torches
Was called from the oak and pine.
And when by the imps of darkness,
The fairies were chased away,
The army began its searching
At the close Of a dreary day;
Through all the years that have
followed,
The seekers have searched the night.
Piercing the gloom of the darkness
With the flash of their magic light.
Would you see the magical army?
Then come to the porch with me!
Yonder, among the hedges,
And near the maple tree,
Over the fields of clover,
And down in the river damp.
The fire-f1ies search till the morning.
Each with his Pickering lamp.

A MODERN PETRucHIo.

Nothing had ever suited Kate Rider
dale. Her childhood had been passed
in hotels, and others had enjoyed that
even less than she had. She had
finished her brief education in a con-
vent, where she tyrannized over the
nuns, and when she came out she ran
away with travelling man.
The future Of poor Kate did not
look any brighter because she had ex-
changed the name of Riderdale for
that of Haughton. and, to do justice to
Rates prespicacity. 1t must be ad-
mitted that herself did not hope much
from it.

explained beningnantly to her hus-
band.

cession, II will own that you have the

You were wise to marry good

your own was so peculiar. If more
attention was paid to such matters we
should. in time. have comedy set of

Kate was used to saying cruel
things. but she was not in the least
used to having them said to her. She
glanced up angrily at her husband. but

ing innocence and was cheerfully read
