Old Egg. from Chimes. Statesman.

Moy Kee, Chinese restaurateur of
Indianapolis, Ind, received a royal
gift a few days ago in the form of
100 eggs that had reached the remark
able age of 100 years. They were still
good. in fact, according to the Chinese
view, better than they were the day
they were laid They had been cured
by some process known only to the
cooks of China, who cater to the man
darins and the higher classes exclu-
sively. They had not been cooked,
nor had the shell been broken The
eggs came from no less a parsonage
that Ii Hung Chang. and the enclosed
card, a bit of queer paper, half a
foot long, expressed to Moy Kee the
compliments of the Chinese statesman
and wished the son of the Flowery
empire a long and happy journey
through life:

in All the months she had lived in her
little room In Rue Servandoni- In
the summer time she had usually
taken the letter into the Jardin du
Luxembourg and read it over and over
again there in the soft twilight. No
one in the garden ever spoke to Anne
or disturbed her. Perhaps because her
clothes were too shabby and unat-
tractive, or, more probably, because
there was a nuz-hke steadiness in the
gaze of her deep gray eyes that dis
armed the needless students who are
wont to tease unattended girls. For

At last Anne was ready to read
her letter. She sank down before the

There are songs enough for the hero
Who dwells on the heights of fame;
I sing for the disappointed
For those who missed their aim.
I sing with a fearful cadence
For one who stands in the dark,
And knows that his last best arrow
Has bounded back from the mark.
IL sing for the breathless runner,
The eager, anxious soul
Who falls with his strength exhausted
Almost in sight of the goal;
For the hearts that break in silence
With a sorrow all unknown;
For those who need companions.
Yet walk their ways alone.
There are songs enough for the lovers.
Who share loves tender pain.
I sing for the one whose passion
Is given all in vain.
For those whose spirit comrades
Have missed them on the way
sing with heart o'erflowing.
This minor strain today,
And I know the soar system
Must somewhere keep in space
"A prize for that spent runner
Who barely lost the race.
For the plan would be imperfect
Unless it held some sphere
That paid for the toll and talent
And love that are wasted here.
