CAR HAD NARROW ESCAPE.


An accident occurred to one OF the
Ocean street cars about 7.30 O'Clock yes
terday morning. The car was bound for
Portland and arrived at the Forest ave
nue. aud Pearl street crossing of the
Worcester and Nashua division Of the
Boston and Maine railroad at its regular
time. The Z 80 train Of the Nashua d.
vision happened to be Iats and so the car
In charge Of Conductor Cobb and Motor
man Plummer went ahead ut the sugges-
ton of the gate tender. In orossing the
track the forward axle Of the car was
broker, SO It " ss necessary to put on all
the power 10 force the car ahead safely
over the tracks. The car had hardly got
ten over the track when the train whizzed
past. Fortunately the mishap to the oar
occurred just AZ It did after they were
safely over. This crossing Is q blind one
and often times the cars are Reid up
several minutes waiting for trains that
happen to be late. Some arrangement
should lie devised that will give the gats
tender sufficient notice to close the gates
so that when trains happen to be late be
will rot take the chances of opening the
gates and allowing the electric cars chance
to pass and improve the time at the risk
of the sudden approach of the train. A
gong was PLACED in use by the railroad to
Re operated py one of the fagmen near
Ealm outh street but this does not work

Aside from a reduction of ten points in the price
of refined petroleum the oil markets showed no
change last week The cut Of seven cents in credit

in beginning work. the prices for machin-
cry and well supplies continue high. Operations.
however continue fairly active This IS likely to
continue. inasmuch as the larger companies con-
troll nearly all of the best producing territory. For
the small operator the outlook is not sc bright and
unless there is reduction in the prize of oil we'll
supplies they may be compelled to currai work.
Interest last week centred largely In the
Chester Hill development iC Morgan County Ohio,

Like a rosebud slipped from its parent stalk,
Sweetly defiant and fresh and gay,
Comes Betty a-swing down the garden walk,
Through the hedges OF box that line her way,
In her primrose gown, to take the town
By storm, this Easter Day.
Sweet Mistress Betty, the county toast,
So many her charms and variable,
That drinking them many a worthy host
Hath fallen prone meath his own good table;
And many's the beau viii dof his hat
And sigh she passes, angel-wise;
But it's not for this, and it's not for that
They may win the sweet OF i smile from he
eyes
The sunbeams dance on the old church floor,
The parson droues like 4 swarm Of bees,
But never at him looks the Governor,
Or the parsons nephew from over seas;
'iis curl Of brown and Powered gown
That have brought them 10 their knees.
Sweet Mistress Betty, oh, ie, for shame,
Though low you look as you blush demurely,
Was it all for piety's sake you came
To the old oak pew where you sit securely?
Do you ponder well what the parson says,
With never a thought Of your furbelows,
Or drop your eyes when the good man prays.
To madden the maids and bewitch the beauxi
There's dark-eyed lad in the singers seats
His voice rings loud and his voice rings true
Do YOU understand what his heart repeats
When he sings TO you and TO only you?
Oh, Mistress Betty, there's one heart beats
A tritie fast in the old OAK pew.
Sweet Mistress Betty. play loose. play fast
Torment your lovers without regret;
But It's love laughs bert and It's love laughs last
When he conquers the heart Of a gas coquette,
In the garden tonight one lifts a tune,
And one steals out like dainty ghost
And wooed and won meath the Easter moon
Is Mistress Betty, the county toast
-TheodOsia Garrison, in the Smart Set.

a Mans Ideal.

A lovely little keeper Of the home
Absorbed in menu books; yet erudite
When | need counsel. Quick at repartee,
And slow TO anger. Mrdest as 4 flower,
Yet scintiant and radiant as a star.
nmercenary in her mold Of mind,
While opulent and dainty in her tastes.
A nature generous and free, albeit
The incarnation OF economy.
She must be chaste as proud Diana was,
Yet warm as Venus To all others cold
As some white glacier glittering in the sun;
To me ardent the sensuous rose
That yields its sweetness to the burrowing bee.
All ignorant Of evil in the world
And innocent any clustered nun,
Yet wise as Phryne in the arts of love
When | come thirsting to her nectlred lips.
Clothed 10 the pretty lobe of her pink ears
For other eyes Away; for mine alone
The feast of sculptured throat and breasts OF snoy
Cleaning through pillows OF seductive lace.
Good as the best-and tempting as the worst
A saint, siren, and a paradox.

CURRENT VERSE.

Smiles all adown the land;
The lilies lean along the wHy;
Serene on either hand,
The full blown roses, red and white,
In perfect beauty stand.
The mourning dove within the woods
Forgets, nor longer grieves;
A light wind lifts the bladed corn,
Ard ripplcs the ripe sheaves;
High overhead some happy bird
Sings softly in the leaves.
The butterflies fit by. and bees;
A peach falls 10 the ground.
The tinkle of bell is heard
From some far pasture.muund:
The cricket in the warm, green grass
Chirps with sottened sound.
The sky looks down upon the sea.
Blue, with not anywhere
The shadow of 4 passing cloud;
The sea looks up as fair
So bright a picture on its breast
As ii il smiled to wear.
A day too glad for laughter-nay,
Too glad for happy tears.
The fair earth seems as in dream
of inin,morial years:
Perhaps of that far morn when she
Sang with her sister spheres.
It MAJ be that she holds today
S,me sacred sabbath feast:
II may he that some patient soul
Has entered 10 Gods rest.
For whose dear sake he smiles on Us
And all the day is blest.
