An Optical Ballad
There was once lovely maiden
With a wink.
Who would quicker up her eyelids
In a kirk:
Ana the menfolks all adored her.
Though she sworc they sadly bored her.
For they liked 10 see her wink
A witching wink
a catching little CULVER as her lashes tried
90 sink.
And her eyes began 20 squint
With a laughing sort OF CLINT,
while her wink expressed In slangy style
the message. Il don't think"
on day this lovely maiden
Took her wink
To a stately soda fountains
For a drink
For she was 90 very thirsty
But the soda man-how burst he7-
Tried to understand her wink
Tier witching wink
That funny little CULVER when her lafhes
tried 20 sink
So he asked her what she'd like,
And he added quite a spike"
For he couldn't read the winky. blinky
message. IL don't think"
Since that time the lovely maiden
Does not wink.
Does not even blink her eyelids-
Not a blink.
For the day was one ~ trouble
She was always seeing double.
And she wobblcd in her wink
That wretched wink
That cunning little flicker which had such
fetching shrink
She's been questioned times galore
II she's winkng any more.
And she never Hicks an eyelid as she
answers. II don't think"

ADJOURN
Close Of the General Conference
OF the Church at
Chicago. -,
BISHOP WALDEN Is CRITICISED
He Refused to Grant a Delegation of
Ministers the Right OF Petition
DIR. Buckley Applauded.

Chicago, May 29.-The general con-
ference of the Methodist church has
come to close. Some OF the legisla-
ton makes it one of the most impor-
tant conventions the church has ever
held. The delegates passed their last
session but one in Studebaker hall by
welding a verbal cudgel on one of
their bishops. The report of the COM
mittee on episcopacy did the work.
The first matter to arouse the tired
delegates was a proposition to deviate
from the rule of allowing non effective
bishops half-pay and to grant Bishop
Foster an additional sum.
Matter Voted Down.
For many years the custom mas pre-
vailed, and nOn-effective superintend-
ents are not allowed more than one
half their past earnings. Bishop Fos-
ter Is quite old, but the act of gener-
osity on the part of the mover was
not recognized, and protest went up.
The matter was finally voted down,
the conference agreeing to make no
exceptions. Then the phalanX of the
committee on episcopacy, headed by
DR.. James NJ. Buckley, proceeded to
"call down" Bishop Walden. The
bishop, it Is claimed, refused to grant
a delegation of ministers the right of
petition, and they brought their wrongs
before the committee. The report
said there twas no violation of any
written law of the church, but it re-
cords its judgment that to deny the
right of petition or representation by
deputation is in violation of a recog-
nized right nowhere to be more sacred
ly guarded than In the church of God"
Not Allowed to Speak.
Bishop Walden stepped to the front
Of the platform and asked his col
league, Bishop Goodsell, who presid-
ed, to permit him to speak. His re-
quest was stated to the conference.
DR.. Buckley claimed that Bishop Wal
den should not be allowed to make a
speech unless the opposition were al
lowed to do the same. Then the old
bishop asked that he might print his
answer in the Daily Advocate, but this
was also denied him. DR.. Buckley
was applauded by the Wisconsin dele
cation, whose cause he championed,
but many delegates declared that his
action in publicly reprimanding the
venerable superintendent was unneces-

VIOLIN MUSIC.
It's Peculiar and Varied Eject on
wild Animals.

The violin was used recently with in
teresting results in experiments with
all sorts of living creatures. First 1t
was played before tarantula. She
paid no attention whatever to 1t. But
a nest of scorpions became intensely
excited and wiggled frantically.
A cobra showed remarkable suscep-
tibility. She was sleeping soundly
when the experimenters approached
her, but the first tone awakened her,
and she raised her head. AS the mu-
sic swelled she continued to rise till
she was standing straight as q pillar,
supported only by her tail. Every
change In tempo and pitch had effect.
The pizzicato made her puff her entire
body, swift waltz music caused her to
erect her ugly hood to its fullest size,
and a sudden dissonance made her
wind and twist her body as If she were
in real agony. g
The polar bear tried to dance to the
sounds of the instrument. At least he
swayed his body rhythmically and
made rumbling sound which portray
ed deep measure. The grizzlies and
the lions moved their paws and the
lions their tails also In time with the
music. 1t happened that string snap
ped, with its peculiar, sharp smack,
just as the player had begun to per-
form before the cage Of hyena. That
poor animal at once hunched its back
up, drew its tail between its legs and
crouched. trembling, In the farthest
corner Of the cage, The elephant and
the ostrich were delighted by soft tones
and appeared to suffer true distress
from loud and sharp notes.--New York

BURR'S FIGHT AGAINST FATE

just as success Returned the Crush
ing Sorrows of His Life Came.
Aaron Burr was GO years old when
he resolved once more to battle with
fortune" writes William Perrine in
The Ladies' Home Journal. Going
quietly into New York, he opened an
office for the practice of law and in a
fortnight had earned $1,000 In fees.
But hardly had he written to his
daughter about his luck when there
came from South Carolina the news
that her beautiful boy, who had been
the idol of the ambitious statesman,
was dead.
But there was in reserve for Burr
still heavier blow. Toward the close
of the year 1912 Theodosia Allston
made preparations to visit her father
in New York. Passage was engaged
on the schooner the Patriot for Theo-
dosia, her physician and her maid, and
the lovely woman was radiant with the
expectation of meeting her father with
In the next five or six days. The Pa
tr1ot sailed from Charleston out into
the ocean In Christmas week, and not
a vestige Of her was ever again seen,
and 1t Is surmised - but nothing Is
known as to her fate-that she foun-
dered off the coast of Hatteras.
DAY after day and long after all
hope had been abandoned there might
be seen on the Battery at New York
the lonely and unhappy father, peering
far down the bay as If he were scan
ming the sea for sail. OF his agony
Aaron Burr gave the world but little
view. He had schooled himself in the
habit of never exhibiting his emotions,
but In one Of his letters he declared
that he felt as IL he had been severed
from the human race"

A Girls Essay on Boys.

At n recent school examination for
girls this composition was handed in
by a girl of II: "The boy Is not an an
imal, yet they can be heard to a con-
siderable distance. When a boy hol-
lers he opens his big mouth like frogs,
but girls hold their toung til they are
spoken to, and then they answer re-
spectacle and tell just how 1t was. A
boy thinks himself clever because he
can wade where the water is deep.
When the boy grows UP he Is called n
husband, and then he stops wading
and stays out nights, but the grown-up
girl is a widow and keeps house."
