4 TRAGEDY.
Three Types.

One woman loved me. She was sweet and shy.
With Toguish smiles and merry, dimping face
lowering round me like a butterfly,
BestOwing kisses with Il dainty grace.
But when faced the future-and she knew
With startled angry eyes she set me free
Although her heart tolerant and true,
She loved me not enough 10 sin for me.
Another woman loved me. No dark doubt
Her heart might vanguish OF her spirit tame;
Blind with a passion that had blotted out
In radiant happiness all thought OF shame.
Through good evil she my fate would share,
Proudly unmindful Of the worlds decree,
Willing for loves sweet sake all ills 20 bear,
She loved me well enough to sin for me-
Another woman. calm and holy-eyed
Cold to all others. me her great heart gave;
Supremacy happy if but by my side,
Longing in secret TO be but my slave
She spent her sad, despairing life alone
And that she loved me best OF all the three
Was by her brave renunciation shown
She loved me far too well to sin for me.

Lnve,s Trembling Gun.

Unto a woman Love one day
Came iauntily and said:
''Thou art OF naughty mieu. but |
Can lower thy proud head
But smiled the woman seornfuIly.
Il challenge; 40 thy worst.
I'll drink thy bitterest dreg. and cry
4 drank thy nectar first. "
Then to her lips Love held i cup;
And Joy more keen than pain
Leaped up her pulses to her heart;
She drank-and drank again.
''Drink deep" Love said. half pityingIy;
Poor foolish one drink deep;
Then to thy couch-a night comes on
When thou wilt pray for Sleep
For one year and day she knew
The rapture OF the blest-
Such ecstasy as Mary thrilled
When Christ slept on her breast.
Then came Love TO her auatily,
And looked into her ewes;
Il have another cup for shee;
The hour has cOme-aGisei -
But smiled the woman scornfIlly.
1T is the cup of pain;
I drank thy nectar frst-and now
She proudly drank again.
Il like thy spirit WE'LL Love sail;
Come. keep thy courage up.
He held before her dauntiess eyes
still yet another cup.
And lightly dropped the broken pearl -
OF broken faith; it sank
And melted in the amber dregs.
With pallid lips she drank
The look OF Death grew in her eyes,
She did not shrink or speak,
But up the grey Of ashes came
And covered brow and cheek.
''Now drink. - quoth Love, ''my bitterestcu
The cup of jealousy;
But first look in its ruby depths.
And speak. What dost thou scet'
She saw another womln'S arms
About his throat; and there
Those sweeter, younger. lingering lips
Pressed kisses ON his hair
The cup shook on her teeth; she drank,
And bowed her head, and cried:
"Love. ere / drank thy nectar first,
Would God that l had died"'

She has given us youth for years;
She has brought US smiles with tears,
Laughter. leht-hearted wiles.
Like an April wind that veers
From wet to shine were her smiles,
Forever akin to tears.
o Time, with terrible ruth
Robbing the years of youth.
Turn down your wrinkied glass.
Smiles were her prayers, in sooth,
So, with a smile. let her pass

With quip grotesque, grimask bizarre.
He had not made US understand.
But Death shows men for what they are.

That heart OF his could ne disguise;
No paltriness was on his brow;
And, oh, the sadness OF his eyes,
The mocking measure of his choice

Twas wisdom smote with fOlly's voice;
And, oh, his eyes-how sad they werel
Then, that he wore the motley's role
When life held higher state 10 give,

Too finely wrought and sensitive.
So. as we laid him 10 the earth,
This thought made bitterness Of duie:

And paced and piowcd his liJtle plots.
And prayed unto his little God.

nous in It's Report.

NL
The isthmian canal commission, which
has been engaged for two years in in
vestigating the several canal routcs to
connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans,
has completed its report. The commits
sion is unanimously and cmphatically in
favor of the Nicaragua route. though Il
canal by that route will cost %Si0.O00,U00
or So0,O00,00O more than TO complete the
Panama canal. The commission found
many difficulties in the way of accepting
the Panama canal, both in construction
and in the concession.
1t would be impossible for the Panama
Canal Company to dispose of it's fran
cllisc to any other government. 1t would
also be impossible for Colombia to grant
a new concession TO the United States
The commission could find no way posi-.
lie for this governments taking up the
Panama canal. Ut therefore recommends
the construction OF the Nicaragua canal.
and gives the estimates for its cost. The
estimated cost OF the canal is 5000, 54O,-

navigation by the largest ships now in OK.
istence. III n single lockagc system only
We're provided the cost would be reduced
by S19.61S.O00, and IL further reduction
of S1~G.9l9,O0O could he made by narrow
ing the bottom width onc-third in all the
%eXcavated channels. These reductions
would bring the estimated cost of the
canal down to s;163,9l3 .0UU.
