What power broke thy rocky spine
What made the narrow pass,
What caused the fractures opening line
To break the solid mass
Was It some jar of earthquake
or glaciers weight Of ice
That tore apart the rocks that make
This earth paradise
How grand these upright walls o. rock,
How smooth their shining face,
The wear Of years seem hut to mock
The debris at their base.
And winding DER the lodges fall,
A foamng, leaping rill
Has quarried IN the rocky wall
Its channel, Natures drill.
Upon their rugged side there elings
The rock moss. where some shelving arm
Has gathered dust the hreezes bring
Takes root the bushes leafy charm.
Tree capped. witt. roots hung o'er the brink
And leaning out threatens fail
As slowly the dead leaves floating sink
In circiing course down the rocky wall
who knows but the wild deer made the trail
As he roamed the wood IN days gone hAs
Where the carriage road IN its dusty mai
Winds up through the pass meath the wah
50 high.
Then down where the naples shade the road
To the meadows green on the Coriuth side
Where the bed Of some ancient lake left It's
ofloam,whieh ms the valley Ear and wide
what a change from oeean's Shiny ooze
To the frame work that bears the ferth
How great. yet simple, the method used
That gives man life for So little toll

How great Is the work of the great frost

that all the other doors must be locked,

1t was in all truth very awkward pre-

plan was therefore to play at escaping

There was a small easement from which

THE MODERN DOORPLATE.
1t is Really the Missing OId-Timer
Coming Up in a Latter-Day Form.

Coming Up in a Latter-Day Form.
From the New York Sun.
| "They say" said an observant man,
that there's nothing new under the sun,
and 1 sometimes wonder IL any Of the old
things that, from time to time, seem to
| pass out of use do really do that or only
| disappear in one form to reappear in
another, so that, as there is nothing new,
| so also does no old custom cease abso-
lutely to exist.
| Now you take for instance the door,
| plate, once a thing Of common, familiar
| use. We used to have all sorts and sizes
| and shapes of doorplates. with all sorts of
| lettering; gothic and Roman, and script
and Italic, and I don't know what not.
| And 1 must say that as far as am con-
| cerned I always rather liked to see a nice
| doorplate, and, anyhow, there was a time
when no home was considered complete
| without one
And then doorpiates began to disappear
| Once imperatively in demand, they next
ceased to be fashionable; and the doorplate
| has apparently gone absolutely out of use.
! But, as the poet says, We have another
/ think; and exercising this right We realize
| that the doorplate has not ceased to exist;
| that 1t has simply undergone transforma-
| ton; and that what once was considered
a thing for the outside Of a door only has
| now been adapted to indoor use and Is in
reality, In one and another form, far more
| commonly used than ever; it is now the
doorplate of the fiat dwellers
| There are thousands and thousands
of these strictly modern doorplates now
| in use, and these might be said to be really
| indispensable; far more SO than the old
| time doorplates ever were. The old door
plate which you could see from the side
walk was picturesque part of the land
| scape, but you could have done without
it, as in fact we do now. We can without
| difficulty go to one door and inquire, but
! these modern doorplates that are quite
| Invisible from the street are really essential:
! for In the apartment house We should be
| lost without them. Here, to be able to
| read the name on the door is truly a great
| convenience. and on thousands and thou
sands of these doors are these modern
| doorplates now to be found, the old door
| plates revived in new form and used
| in far greater numbers than ever"

which appear as II by magic from the
blouse Of her Jacket. her pulled sleeves ana
her glitterfng chatelaine.
Then comes the final disposition OF her
case II she Is a professional shoplifter
short ,shrtft Is made of the matter. The
chief has a mental rosues' gallery OF his

out hesitancy. But where Il Is clearly a
hrst onense the articles are restored. the
severe reprimand she Is advised not TO en-
ter the store again.
Dfnereat Motives-
Many thefts are due to actual poverty
and may rouse the sympathy Of even hard
ened detectives. In the case OF wealthy
men and women the act is inexcusable and
inexplicahle. and ofttimes Is traced d.
rectly to the use of such drugs as NOR
phtne or opium A peculiar instance Of this
sort was the appearance OF an old nsighbor
before the chief detective at a fashionable
store. The accused Is purchasing agent FOR
wholesale concern and commands a large
salary. He pleaded his personal acquaInt-
ance with the chief and his references
with the firm which had employed him for
eighteen years. but eventually he confessed
and turned over a number OF trinkets not
one of which was valued at more than 81 So
The inclination to pllfer during the holi-
day season Is no respecter OF age. sex or
social standing. The culprits may be If
teen years of age or ninety. and an equal
number of men and women fall from grace.
The woman who rides to the store in her
own hanson and the man with his coat
collar turned up about his throat find their
way TO the presence OF the chief detective
In about the same proportion.
The terms apprehension and arrest are
used In a restricted sense. Very few cases
are prosecuted The practice OF halinV
culprits before the head of the detective
bureau Is matter OF prevention rather
than OF cure. A shop that is well policed
Is spotted by professionals. who leave II Sc
verely out Of their route. The amateur
thief caught In the stores drag net rarely
tries 1t again. The firm RECEIVERS its prop
erty and Is protected from further loss at
the same hands, even though the thief be

A thousand creeds have held their sway on earth
Into a thousand myths have given birth,

And crumbled. They were fashioned out OF clay.
Like worn-eut toys, they cast away.
A thousand castles OF the human mind
Are wrecks with which the const OF Time are lines
The rubbish OF the ages left behind.
A thousand systems OF thousand schools.
The theories OF natures hidden rules,
Now seem TO us the dreaDss of idle fools.

Mexico Now and Then.
tie Mexican Herald.

To most Of US, grinding and toiling in the
huge factory which an imperfect civiliza-
tion calls palace Of progress, in reality
an ediflce resounding with the clank of
machinery, the irksome tinkling of tele
phone bells and the racket Of the type
writer's, 1t seems almost incredible that
there really does exist a fairer and more
delightful world outside, that great. sunny,
cheerful Mexico, which. as time goes on
and the din and hurry augment. recedes be-
fore our mental gaze. Not so many years
ago this ancient city was filled with some
thing OF the charm OF the middle ages: ne
one hurried, life had broad margin Of
leisure; all had time" to gather the flower
Of pleasure by the roadside Of existence.
True. our streets We're badly paved. the
drainage was most unscientif1c, mails were
not any too punctual, and to go far from
the capital involved journeys somewhat
perilous and always romantic
