THE GLADIATOR.

Arms stretched out lika Roman god,
Legs of steel all bare
My sweetheart sleeps through the long
deep night
With the lion and the bear.
Elephants chained to his bed post,
Reindeer strapped to his chair;
And ali the animals of the ark
Are browsing everywhere.
Fairies shift the scenes of sleep,
Witchcraft moves the air;
The moonlight climbs Ger Storm Kings
cliffs.
And glints its golden hair.
The sun climbs over Crows nest,
The long deep night is done
The young Olympian rouses
And the world is full of fun.

The example Of Gems. Macarthur and

There is no doubt that many things oc-

The American papers are prone to polk
ing fun at our English contemporaries for
their mistakes in connection with United
States affairs. But it becomes US to
remember the old adage about people who
live in glass houses A ST. Paul paper, in
learnedly discussing the British crisis
brought about by the cost Of the South
African war, sagely observes.
Further unrest in the colonies may be
looked for with the imposition of added
taxes
The American public Is scarcely to be
congratulated upon the fact that an
editor who presumes TO serve up its men
tai pabulum is so ignorant as not to
know that no imperial taxes whatever
are imposed upon or collected from the
colonies.

THE OLD RAIL FENCE,


In the merry days of boyhood when we
never knew a care
Greater than the mumps or measles or q
mothers cut of hair
When sore toe was a treasure and a
stonebruise on the heel
Filled the other boys with envy which
they tried not to conceal
There were many treasured objects on
the farm we held most dear.
Orchard, fields, the creek we swan in.
and the old spring cold and clear:
over there the woods of hick'ry and Of
oak SO deep and dense,
Looming up behind the outlines of the
old
rail
fence.
On its rails the quail would whistle in
the early summer morn
Calling to their hiding fellows in the field
Of waving corn,
And the meadow larks and robins on
,.,, the stakes would sit and sing
Till the forest shades behind them with
their melody would ring.
There the catbird and the jaybird sat and
called each other names,
played the observation-disclosures
games
And the garter snake was often In I'M
pleasant evidence
In the grasses in the corners of the
rail
fence.
AS we grew to early manhood when he
thought the country girls
In the diadem of beauty were the very
fairest pearls
Oft from spellin' school or meetin' or the
jolly Shuckin' bee
Down the old lane we would wander
with merry little she"
On the plea of being tired Gust the coun-
On a grassy seat we'd nnger in the
moonlight, she and
And we'd paint future picture touched
with colers most intense
AS We sat there in the corner of the
old
rail
fence.
There one night in happy dreaming we
were sitting hand in hand,
Up so near the gates of heaven we could
almost hear the band,
When she heard declaration whispered
In her-lis ming ear
One she often since has told me she was
mighty glad to hear,
On my head there's now a desert fringed
with foliage of gray,
And there's many a thread Of silver in
her dear old head today.
Yet the flame of love is burning in our
bosonls as intense
AS it burned IN the corner, Of that old
rail fence.
