Can't be earnest all tn time.

Weep tomorrow, laugh today.
After all, it's tn best way,
Got to change tn tune we sing,
Can't keep playin' tn same string,
Die tomorrow, live today,
Got to have both work and play,
Graver verse an lighter rhyme,
Can't be earnest all tn time:
Got to differ, got to change,
Have to cover all tn range,
Light an heavy, grave an gay,
After all it's tn best way.
Life is music, played too soon,
Who kin listen to a tune
Thet don't change from dirge t. chime
Can't be one way all tn time.

AN EASTER ELEGY

AN EASTER ELEGY.
"My! Look at that!
What a hat! What a hat!
Why it's dowdy and fiat
And it rests like a mat
Down over her eyes!
And that red, it just cries
And it creams at that green!
It's the worst I have seen!
And look at that lace!
Why it hangs round her face
Like a canopy top!
And those feathers! They drop
Like a wet ROSTERS tail
In a gale! What can all
That bunch of aigrettes!
And those cheap violets
That r kneaded like dough
All together! That bow
OF red ribbon behind!
Where on earth did she find
Such a nightmare as that!
Doesn't look like a hat!
It's a positive fright!
Well, 1 did think she might
Have had some taste, but, Ny!
In all my days
Never saw such a hat!
Such a dowdy! So fiat!
Such flowers! Such a feather,
All piled up together,
With ribbons and beads
Like a bunch of old weeds
Raked up on the lawn!
There! Thank goodness she's gone!
Why just a bare sight
Of it gave me a fright!

SMILES TODAY,

SMILES TODAY.
Fate, would thou vert a flower lass,
Bright-eyed, red-cheeked, and as we
pass
With heavy hearts, would thou mightst
cry
Thy wares of smiles and we might buy:
Smiles today! Smiles today!
Smi-i-les! Swe-ee-eet smi-i-iles to
coax away,
Thy cares! Light hearts! This
way! This way!
Oh who will buy my smiles today!"
All, mor than busy wouldst thou
stand
To deal them out with lavish hand,
Could every sad heart hear thy cry
And of thy wares might choose and
buy:
Smiles today! Smiles today!
Smiles! Swee-eet SMILES to lure
away
The sting of sorrow! Hearts made
gay!
Oh who will buy my smiles today!"

A PROBLEM IN PROPERTY.

Hazel-she does not send me her
other name-writes me a little poem
that is touching, involving as it does
the struggle of a sensitive soul with
the cravings of a healthy stomach.
Hazel writes:
Dear Sir: have carefully read all
the pieces you have wrote. You have
wrote some very good ones and some
very bad ones, but l have read them
all every week beginning at the top
and reading right through without
skipping any. Sometimes after I
have read n of your pieces, if l had
it to do over again l would not read
it but then the harm is done and I
cannot go back. Will you give this
little piece a place in your columns?"
Here is Hazels poem. It is deli
cate in sentiment, remarkable in
meter and striking in it's grammar and
it opens up a broad field for discus
sion. 1t is entitled "To My Friend"
l have not settled whether Hazel
means me or the other victim in her
dedication, but that is immaterial:
Kind Friend, the pieces you have wrote
I have read carefully DER
And 1 can trutnfully say that such
Pieces I see before.
Oh, sir, you seem so easy to know
So many, many words
That l have to1 go and look up
In the encyclopedia afterwards
Sometimes you seem to think so hard
You poems is so deep,
That I have frequent found myself
While reading them fall fast asleep.
The literary work that I have did
Has not went very we'll
I have sent it out but it has came back
1t does not seem to sell.
My work is all original
I have did it all alone,
And, Oh, Sir, l wish you could read
A piece that 1 done
One day when 1 was feeling bad
because Papa butchered a cow,
The animals cries was SO terrible sad
He hit it with an axe in the brow.
Oh terrible deed! Oh bloody sight!
The worst l ever see.
l nearly had a conniption fit,
They had to sprinkle cold water or me.
Oh sir, what I wanted to ask you,
I know your sympathetic make,
Is'it wrong, feeling as I do,
For me to eat any Of her steak?
No, Hazel, it is not wrong. If you
have embalmed her memory in such
verse as you seem capable of produc-
ing on the spur of the moment, you
have done all that any COW could ask.
Would you mind sending me your
recipe for the ragtime meter you use?

HADN'T TIME.

I1EADlN 1 11ME. @
He had no time for pleasure,
He was such a busy man,
He never sat and rested,
He never walked-he ran.
In haste he ate his dinner,
Never stopped to speak or smile,
Or to say the meal was pleasing,
He was so busy all the while.
His wife? Oh, yes, he loved her
But he never told her so,
He was always in a hurry
And he hadn't time, you know.
He loved his children dearly
And he thought his home sublime,
But he never, eve said so,.
For he really hadn't time!
He was always full of business,
Never went out anywhere,
There was never any evening
That his wife and he could share
He bought her hats and dresses
She was handsome-he knew so,
But he never stopped to tell her .
For he hadn't time, you know.
When he left home in the morning
He never said good bye,
There was business at the Office
And in haste he had to fly.
His fond wife looked with yearning
When she saw him go away
But he couldn't stop to kiss her
For he hadn't time to stay.
So she pinned and dropped and faded
And he never understood
When he bought her every trinket
That she wanted, why she should.
He lever knew she hungered
For some word of love sublime,
If he had, 'twould have been useless
For he really hadn't time!
When she died he took a minute
From his pressing work for her
And he sat and gazed and wondered
What it was that made the blur
In his eyes, and somehow hungered
That he might speak love sublime
And have her hear and kiss him,
He thought he could spare the time!

liberation of the womb; backache,
bearing-down pains; was SO weak
and that I could not do
my own work; had sick headache,
no appetite, numb spells, hands and
feet cold all the time. l had good
doctors, but-none of them did me any
good. Through the advice of a lady
friend l began the use of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
after taking one bottle / felt greatly
relieved, and by the time l had used
several bottles was completely cured,
SO that | could do my work again. I
am nov passing through the change of
life and using your Compound. Ithelps
me wonderfully. I want every suffer-
ing woman to know what your medi-
cine has done for me."-MRs. w. Nj.
BULL, New Palestine, Mo.
"Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound saved my life and gave back
a loving mother to eleven children.
which was more than any doctor could
have done or any other medicine in
the wide world. Ny trouble was child
bed fever. The third day after my
babe was born 1 took a chill, which
vas followed by a high fever. Iwould
perspire until my clothes were as wet
as though dipped in a tub of water.
The chills and fever kept up for three
days. My daughter got me a bottle of
your Compound. The fourth dose
stopped the chills, and the fever also
disappeared. My life was saved. NV
age at this critical time wa forty

CHURCH MEETING RUSSIAN POLICE METHODS
sudden and Summary Arrest of 1900
Chinese in Order to Find Some Al
legged Manchuriau Highwaymen.

According to the Jijrs correspondent
at Nladvostock extraordinary meas
ures We're adopted by the authorities at
Nladivostock on the evening of Dec.
18th, with the view of arresting some
ManChurian highwaymen supposed to
have secretly found their way into the
town. The work of Identification was
extremely difficult owing to the fact
that Chinese constitute about seven
parts of the whole population Of $4,000
and that the majority Of these Chinese
do not possess passports. At midnight
however, on the day in question about
six hundred soldiers were secretly post
ed at every important part of the town
and every Chinaman who could not pro-
duCe a passport or who was regarded
as a suspicious character was arrested
summarily till about noon the following
day. The persons thus arrested num-
bered no less than $500 and though, sim
Infamous with the arrest, the eXamina-
ton was proceeded with by number
of Interpreters and police officers of the
town, persons We're still detained in
prison on the evening of the Dec. 20
owing to the slowness with which the
work of examination and identification
proCeeded,-on one person carrying a
passport for five who did not. The fee
for the passport is > roubles, and If the
local authorities forced the license upon
those who do not possess it at double
the ordinary rate by way of punishment
they could easily procure fifty to sixty
thousand rOubleS.

EXAMINER STORIES.
How the Rumor of Closed Ports Was
Started.

The rumor about Honolulu being a
closed port probably started from the
following statements appearing in the
Examiner and similar ones in the
other coast papers:
The Examiner of January 10, says:
THE bark Albert which arrived from
! Honolulu, 16 days out, with a cargo of
sugar, IS still held, and will probably
! he released today.
The greatest care is being exercised
! by Federal Quarantine Officer kinyOun
and his assistants, regarding vessels
coming from the infected port, and it.
| is extremely doubtful If cargOc& can be
hereafter landed
THE steamer Australia will sail today
| for Honolulu with passengers and a
| full cargo. She will probably return
in ballast and without steerage pass
| engers, although she may get a cargo
| from one of the Hawaiian ports out
side of Honolulu.
THE Centennial, which has been car
| lying horses from here to Honolulu,
| from where they have been taken later
| by other steamers, will make no more
trips. She had already taken in some
cargo when orders were received this
afternoon to stop loading her. The
vessel will probably be turned over TO
her owners.
There is quite a fleet of sailing YES
sells on the way from here to Honolulu,
and many more craft are loading for
that port. All of them will have to re-
turn from Honolulu empty or get SUI
gar cargOes at some other ports in the
islands"
The same paper of January 9 has the
following: Though no action has been
taken by the Federal officials here, in
the matter of placing an embargo on
sugar from the plantations of Oahu,
that must pass through the port of HO-
nOlulu in transit to the market, il is
probable that the product of these
plantations will be refused "A landing
hereafter. In regard to the situation,
John d. SpreckeIs said last night:
There is hardly a doubt that some
action will be taken regarding Homo
lulu sugar, but that need not alarm
any one as to the rest of Hawaiian
sugar. There are five or six planta-
tons near Honolulu, and while the
yield from them is considerable, the
| loss would not affect the supply for
! San Francisco. There are any number
of ports from which sugar is being
shipped. While it is true that great
number of vessels load at the princi-
pal port, there is no reason why they
should not drop Honolulu and load at
| one of the other ports, and this will
! probably be done. AS none of the other
| ports are infected, the shipments from
them cannot be stopped. The Oahu
| planters will not necessarily lose any
thing by the quarantine. They can
store their sugar until the plague is
over"
WASHINGTON, January S.-Strin-
gent regulations for dealing with yes
sells arriving from Honolulu have been
issued to officials Of the Marine Hos
pital Service on the Pacific Coast. Ar
rangements nave been made by which
the transport Aztec which is about
to leave San Francisco for Manila with
horses and mules, is TO touch at the
island of Hilo, in the Hawaiian ISL
ands, instead Of at Honolulu, thus
avoiding the possibility of carrying in
lection.

WASHINGTON, January S-Strin-

They contemplate the thorough fumi-
cation of the holds of all ships arriving

Special vigilance must be exercised by
medical officers, with a view To detect
ing any ambulant or walking cases Of
the disease. The fact that many of the
vessels touching at Honolulu are dis
charging their cargoes by means of
lighters is regarded with satisfaction
here, as the danger of infection is thus
Correspond.ngly diminished,
