Until the roof and rafter
Shall echo back our glee,
Keep back the look of sorrow
Tonight It's out of place
Twill be all right tomorrow
To get a change of face.
Then crowd around and mingle
In joyful song and cheer
Let's talk---we who are single
OF the prospects for next year.
In short, let's run the riot
On a gentlemanly plan,
Let's toast tine class, or try it,
And do the best we can
When a poet is elected
To represent a class
Of course he is expected
To chew the rag and grass
And has he done his duty
When he has ceased to twit?
All there, my charming beauty,
But don't you wish I'd quit.
We think of days devoted
To picnics and to ease,
OF the silver chimes that fioated
Out on the evening breeze
As we watched the water dimple
And saw the sails unfurl
Or ate our rations simple
Then chanted the Dutch Girl"
Our history recited
Our prophecy foretold
Have made us all excited
And given courage bold.
We're anxious too and really
Before our star is set
Of course we're speaking freely
Well carve our fortunes yet.
Excuse us then, Professor,
From study and the like
Remember the possessor
OF coed Herr Lotze's mike
Deal gently en- the morrow
with f9ir-haired Absolom,
Twill lift the veil of sorrow
To say we needn't come.
Although we speak our gladness
In joyful noise and din
There's still a streak Of sadness
Insists on coming in.
Yes, when we stop and hearken
To voices of the night
The shadows slowly darken
And tears obscure our sight.
Oh, may this fragrant flower
OF friendship never fade,
Until the day when our
Eternal peace is made,
Is made with Him who gave us
Repentant hearts to pray
Dear Father, come and save us,
Oh, take our guilt away"
These happy times will linger
AS long as we have breath,
Until Life's index finger
Points out the way to death.
These memories we'll cherish
(They're all so sweet we musD
Till this outer man shall perish
And mingle with the dust.

RinetGen-Ona Glass Poem.

Unfeather last years chickens
And season up the stew,
We're hungry as the dickens
And we've got the money too.
We ask the world to feed us
While we pay for what we chew
Tkcn, dear waiter, please to deed
Just one more hog or two.
UrAeece the sheep that's bleating
There's tariff now on wool
And mutton is good eating
Until the stomach's full
And then we fret and wonder
The reason we can't rest;
Twist, turn and say "Oh, thunder
Why don't that sheep digest?"
We meet tonight and linger
In this famed banquet hall
While Pleasures fairy finger
Is writing on the wall.
Behold and read the very
Good tidings she has brought;
Eat, drink and be ye merry
There's lots more in the pot"
Let scholarly ambition
Forth vanish from our sight
And make but one condition
OF our meeting here tonight.
To eat, to talk, to frolic-
Let's have no special theme
Go home and have the collie
Then turn and toss and dream.
And when Aurora blushing
Shall chase away the dark
And old Sol comes up hushing
The savage watch-aog's bark
When men go forth with plenty
CT good hard work to do
Tkere'll be some ten or twenty
That won't be able to.
All me, the, fret and fixing
Il takes to make up life,
Here's joy and sorrow mixing,
There's peace and party strife.
The struggle for existence
Is ever and anon
In paths of least resistance
And so the world goes on.
-Four times we've met to mingle
Around the sugar bowl
Be married men and single
All paying the same toll
And now tonight what reason
Why we should not be gay
The oyters are in season
And all dogs have their day.
Then steady there ye eaters
Upon the left and right
And keep account in liters
OF the milk you drink tonight
For really it's amazing
That this late in the fall
The Jersey finds the grazing
To furnish milk for all,
Dispense with all distractions
And deal with things concrete
Conciliate all factions
With something good to eat,
Be cheerful to your neighbor
Your neighbor girl, and you
Can manage, if you labor,
To steal a look or two.
Then loose the reins of laughter
And set your spirits free

Some Observations.

We who live in the beautiful Ohio
valley can have little idea of the dis
advantages enjoyed by the people of
some parts of the world,
DR., Thorvald Thoroddsen in recent
papers gives a curious picture of life
and scenes in Iceland. Settlements
are limited to the lowlands, yet even
these are not safe places of abode, for
they are exposed to lava floods, river
floods and showers of volcanic ashes
When the glaciers Of the dome-shaped
mountains are suddenly melted by
volcanic heat, overwhelming torrents
bearing immense masses of ice and
fragments of rock, sweep down the
river beds. Yet with all their disad-
vantages the inhabitants of the narrow
lowlands of Iceland enjoy universal
education, and among them more
books and newspapers are published
per head of the population than in any
other country
A gentleman who has Travelled much
while stopping in Marietta, recently
gave the following picture of Cuban
women.
There is an innate coquetry about
Cuban woman that shows itself even
in the least promilent of bows she
ties. Her clothing is always dainty,
and is frequently adorned with the
needlework of her own fingers. Her
gown may De nothing to look at twice,
but her linen is something exquisite,
and no other people rival them in
cleanliness. In many ways the Cuban
woman of today promises much for the
future, but there are now strongly
marked limitations, and this trip has
revealed many of them to her
For instance, she never before
thought much about physical culture,
and those people who are blessed with
gray hair are strongly reminded of the
American women of yore, with whom
it was the proper thing to faint, and a
waist that measured over eighteen
inches was a source of continual NOR
tifcation. That is just about where
these dwellers of the tropics are now
in the scale of physical perfection

The so-called respectable" and 'sre-
sponsiblen class have good deal to
say about the iawlessness and want OF
respect for the courts which those that
do not belong to their class display.
But it is notorious that in great af-
fairs where the .'respectaple" and ''re-
sponsible" classes are interested, they
are as lawless and disrespectiul as they
dare to be. They evade the laws oi
taxation whenever they can. They
avoid obeying the DEGREES of courts
just as long as their money enables
them to hire lawyers to fight the case.
Even in small affairs they show their
contempt for courts. Only the other
day the New York magistrate before
whom Mr.. Gates of the Illinois Steel
Company was arraigned, had to order
him to take his cigar out of his mouth
and conduct himself with the decorum
that every law-abiding and court-re-
specting citizen feels bound to show
for the laws and tribunals of his coun-
try.

es''?-The Chicago Dispatch.

WoMAN's SECOND GROWTH.
Her Most Fascinating Years Are Be-
tween Forty and sixty.

Since woman is in the main but bundle
of paradoxes it is not so surprising to hear
that normally healthy woman is younger
mentally and physically at fifty than at
forty The reason is somewhat reconcile
but still one to be rendered in plain words.
This regeneration comes from sort of sec
ond growth OF nerve tissue. or more accu-
rately, new arrangement of nerve cells,
which takes place commonly in the decade
between thirty five and forty-hve.
The feminine constitution comes to its
midsummer at. say, thirty. All before that
has been a period of unfolding. of develop
ment, mental, physical, psychical. Now
comes the pause, at first imperceptible,
then gradually making itself known by loss

cause. one frets without occasion. The

while the English and Americans build
their automobiles in simple shapes and
paint them in rich dark colors we, bending TO

and lovely woman was and is at the bot
tom of tIat.
Here in Paris, you see, when a woman
buys an automobile. and she won't vince
even at paying as high as $4,000 for some
thing she really likes, she goes to fac
tory and purchases or orders nothing but
a lie chassis, or the running gear. She
wants small wheels, a powerful motor,
and a simple mechanism under her hand,
and when that is supplied the bodyless
web of machinery on wheels is sent on
to her carriage maker. With that indi-
yidual she then has as many interviews
as if he were her most valued dressmaker.
for just as every French woman desires
to gown herself with individual distinc-
tion, just SO does she require her automo-
bile to express her own tastes and ideas.
Well, you have only to stand here on the
Champs Elysees an hour any day to see
what the result is, and to take note that
this feminine fancy for ornamenting the

VIENNA, April 16.-There is no gown
that incites the creative fancy of the great
modistes more than the evening frock.
The newest and most artistic conceptions
are generally spent on this important cos
tune, which shows off better than any
other the individuality of the wearer and
the art of the maker.
The first gown depicted today shows
some novelties which must recommend
themselves to all lovers Of the artistic.
The long skirt, which fits the figure PER
fectly above and extends into slight flare
below, is of champagne" moiree-a beau
tiful shade of golden yellow. resembling
the color Of that wine Black Chantilly
net with polka dot of jet beads is fitted to
the form OF the skirt and finishes with a
rich border done in chenille, jet, and black
spangles. The lace forms a kind OF over
skirt. reaching almost TO tie hem Of the
moiree skirt, the interstices left between
the design of the border are filled out with
small motifs of gray guipure lace embroid-
cred and spangled with jet. Three narrow
bias folds of moiree form the hem. The
tight-fitting bodice foundation is of the
same champagne colored moiree, yelled in
front with a slight drapery of the Chantilly
net, while the decolletage is defined by an
embroidery of black spangles representing
the intertwined necks and heads Of two
birds. from the bills of which are suspend
ed long pendants of finely cut Set. The
eyes of the birds heads are represented
by brilliants.

shade as the moiree, further embellishes

Thus too, they often abridge the lives

He went on to explain that at the begin
ming of a journey the first mile even at
moderate pace, will bring out the sweat on
your team. The second mile at the same
speed will dry the first sweat. At about
the fourth mile the second sweat comes
out, and will not dry before the end CT the
seventh. After that you may push your

Womankind will do well to comprehend

this second growth is complete that they
can push themselves to the utmost and
come out unscathed. The second growth

the delight, as of springtime. in being and
doing. The years between forty five and
sixty-five ought to be the happiest, the
most fruitful of womans life. She has
passed the region of eqninoctial storms, and
come into the place, not OF Gains, but of
achievements. If she has used herself
properly she is strong and housekeeping

full OF frank health. Her hand is steady,
her eyes bright, her voice equable. her
laugh infectious. She may have grey hairs
in plenty, even wrinkles. but nobody marks
them through the charm of her Indian
