A LAZY LOVER
By HATTIE WHITNEY.

tie uneven.
Poor dream-man; 1 sympathize with
him. I'm sure. L.issSS &c have that pond
lily?"
THANK you, 1 don't care for it; let's
go back
He agreed amiably. 81 ought to get back
early" he said. u promised Kingsland
to come over and go fishing this after
noon. so we may not see each other again.
Caesar, isn't this day for fishing,
thought"
Ruby's cheeks tingled as she walked
silently beside him through the light. dry
grass on the way to the hotel, while he
stalked cheerfully along, making irritat-
ingly pleasant remarks about the scenery.
They came to a standstill at the sum
mer house on the lawn. 1t was empty.
and Ruby did not want TO walk into the
crowd of people on the hotel porch.
I'm tired she said; "Ill rest while,
and we can say good-by here
He held out his sunburncd hand and
clasped- hers closely for minute.
"Good-by" he said. IF you should
come to terms with the dream IMAM don't
forget to let me know"
She watched him going across an adj
low chair and began to rock. Then she
looked off dismally toward the misty hills.
They were DINNER than the light summer
haze warranted.
"only summer fiirtation-only a sum-
mer Irritation" creaked the chair mad
deningly.
She turned her eyes to the field again.
She could still see the tall form loiter
ing along. When it should disappear the
end of things would have come. He
stopped, seemed to pick up something.
then he turned slowly and began his easy
stride back toward the summer house. 1t
seemed ages before he reached the door
and looked in, holding toward her a flower
on a stalk, just fringe OF pale lilac
petals uncurling from a tawny golden
center.
"See, found the first aster, and came
back to bring it to you" he said.
She accepted it silently. He looked
curiously at her eyes The rims were de-
cidedly pink. He folded his arms and
leaned against the door casing.
Sure you aren't going to marry the
dream mani" he asked after casual
survey of the landscape.
Didn't I tell you there wasn't any?"
Il thought you might be fibbing again.
II there really isn't"
''WeT?'
Couldn't you reconsider things and
take me, after all?"

A PROUD MOMENT.

A growing American boy has many
proud moments coming to him before ne
reaches mans estate. He has his first
pair of long pants, his first pockets, his
first ride on the cars to some other city,
etc. but the supreme moment, the hap
piest and proudest of his life, it can
safely be said, is when he dons his first
baseball uniform and stalks majestically
across the diamond. though that diamond
be nothing more than a COW pasture, as a
member of the Firefies or the Deering
Demons.
The big red letter on the front of hts
blouse arouses a thrill in his youthful
nature that could not be produced in later
years by the pinning OF all sorts OF
medals of honor across his bosom.-Port-
land Evening Express.
The Washington times., 1902-04-20

And this one with its crown Of purple
petals
Speaks low Of eyes that ever brightly
Shone
On me In days OF happy, happy childhood,
In days when only love and joy were
known
Within the deep OF heliotrope's sweet
message
: The pangs OF unforgotten days entwine,
And torture with an innocent demeanor
This hopeless and this living love Of
mine.
My garden smiles in fleeting summer
beauty,
And weeps with tickle April tears;
1t teaches with its blooms of resignation,
How best to live the sorrow-laden years.

Upon the porch the honeysuckle fragrance
Is mingling with the breath of climbing
rose,
While close around the powered cottage
window
trumpet bloom its crimson bugle
blows.
In modest grace the many colored pansies
Are smiling with the kiss of dewy morn.
And whisper each to each in loving ac-
cents,
And sing to all in thankful morning
song.
And here a golden-tinted velvet beauty
Reminds me OF face l used to love
In olden years, that now, alas, are faded,
noble heart that now rests calm
above.

MY GARDEN.
By ELIZABETH ELLICoTY POE.

My garden smiles in feeting summer
beauty,
But weeps with tickle April tears,
And lives on till the chill October
Air is moaning, then sadly disappears.
The mottled heart of golden Gamma bios
som,
That lifts it's sweet face to a burning
sun,
That CLOVIS o'erhead in golden splendor
AS bright as when the day had first
begun.
It, joyous with rhapsody of color,
With green shoots clustering close
around,
Breathes freely with no thought of COM
ing trouble
That enters with the cruel winters
frown.

The Angel Of Safety.

Pale. beyond porch OF portal,
Crowned with calm leaves, she stands
Who gathers all things immortal
With cold immortal hands;
Her ianguid lips are sweoteT
Than loves who fears TO greet her
To men that mix and meet her
From many times and lands.
There 20 the loves that wither,
The old loves with wearied wings;
And all dead yesrs draw thither,
And all disastrous things;
Dead creams Of days forsaken
Blind buds that SHOWS have shaken
Wild leaves that winds have taken;
Red sprays Of ruined springs.
Prom too much love Of living,
From hope and fear set free.
We thank with brief Thanksgiving
Wbste,er gods may be,
That no life lives forever;
That dad men rise up never
That even The xeariest river
Winds somewhere safe to sea.
