The Ways of Maidens Fair.

They look the new moon In the face.
Now, make a WISH" said she,
II will IL you will make one, too,
He answered pensively.
They gaxed up at the crescent that
Hung In the western sky,
And wished and turned away, and each
Broke OF little sigh.
They sat alone upon the steps,
He and the maiden fair;
She looked around TO be assured
No one was lurking there.
What was your wishf" she sweeuy
asked
"Ah. something good. I know:
Confess. and l Will tell you mine.
Perhaps. before you go"
He looked into her upturned eyes.
Her little hand sought his.
My wish tonight" he said was what
My fond wish always is:
i wish that /. somehow. might ind
The road that leads to fame
That, dying, l may leave behind
A great. an honored name"
She pulled her little hand away,
She sighed another sigh.
What fools they are who wish, she
said:
Good evening and good-byel'
And. going home. he wondered at
The sudden change of air
Some people know so little of
The ways Of maidens fair.

Within the last few years a great
change has come over the shipping of
the great lakes. New steamers of large
tonnage and vast carrying capacity
have been gradually substituted for the
feet of small vessels that have en-
gagged in lake commerce since 1918,
when the first steamboat sailed from
Buffalo to Detroit. But the coming
years are to witness even greater
changes. Saturday a new steamer the
John w. Gates, the largest ever con-
structed on the lakes. was launched at
Lorain, Ohio. This vessel has been
built for the American Steamship com
pany. which already owns some Of the
largest vessels that ply between Buff
falo, Chicago and Duluth. It Is 500 feet
long and is the first that has been COM
pleted of four of equal length and
tonnage. These large vessels are ex.
pected greatly to economic time and
expense in transporting the heavy line,
OF freight.
