A Phenomenon Explained.

"Why is it," said Mrs. Miggs, that a
single man is so anxious to take girl
to the theater, and seems to care so lit
tie about plays after he is married."
That's very easily explained" an
swered her husband. sit is due to GER
tain deplorable but inevitable mascu-
line vanity. When he takes the girl to
whom he is engaged to the theater he
knows she is comparing him to the
handsome hero of the play, and to this
disadvantage of the hero. After mar
riage she doesn't hesitate to tell him

Enchantment.

There's witch among the seasons;
Where she steps a crocus grows,
When she laughs the magic music
Wakes the brook and thrills the rose
Fitting, flirting with the zephyrs,
With her fleecy garments free,
Catching them in apple orchards,
Leaving shreds on bush and tree.
Radiant laughing, earth alluring,
Every atom sets aglow
Lost in ecstacy of being,
From the sky to sod below.
Spring, spring, spring. the world is singing,
Waken souls! join in the lay;
What's existence for but pleasure?
Spring is Gods own holiday.

Plnrne Of wild DOES.

In Northern Patagonia reward is
offered for the determination of the
dogs that overrun that part of the
world. The ancestors of these wild
dogs were pair of tame collies which
were taken over by a Scotsman
straight from his native heath. The
animals have retained their natural in
stinct in connection with sheep, but in
stead of guarding them they prefer
killing them; hence the farmers have
always to be prepared for the sudden
advance at any time of strong herd
of the wild creatures hungering for
mutton.--N. Y. Sun.

THE BEST CURRENT VERSE.

When the Monarch of Money Appears
All the glory of heaven is excluded by gold
coins held too close to the eyes,
But none is deceived, save the gazer-the
lord of a FOOLS paradise;
With the wide world inviting to action,
with humanity yearning for light,
He can see but the gold that gllds fashion,
and, beyond, all is swallowed in night.
o large are the fields, and fertile! broad
is the fathomless main!
Like the mountains, they're calling for
manhood, but too often they summon
in vain;
While round US the fair, young flowers,
and the bees that within them Turk,
Repeat, in their endless endeavor: GAN the
joy of the world springs from work."
Then, OH how can you worship so weak
ly, when a monarch of money appears,
AS the hoofs of his steeds DER you trample,
in the dust that is wet with your
tears2
All, brothers of mind and of muscle-ah,
sisters of deftness and skill
Be yourselves kings and queens of high
purpose! Be earth's monarchs You
can if you will

turning to the groom after the happy
pair had been made one, that the
marriage you have just contracted will
prove more satisfactory than your

Rx the Homo Fireside.


The night hath come and blotted out the
world
With all its strife and struggle, all its
pain,
But Lent one rosy spot where fameis naught,
Where only love is counted loss or gain.
Here all our little childish discontents,
The petty trials of a care-filled day,
Grow dim and distant meath the bright
good cheer,
And, as the melting shadows, fade away.
A blessing be upon the dear home hearth,
blessing on the evening Preside!
Its humble games, its simple tales oft told,
Its quiet joys let those who will deride
The worlds gay scenes grow dull, mems
loud applause
Froths but a moment and is gone, as foam.
The sweetest hours of life are spent be-
meath
The calm and holy influence of home.

81 Shall Not Go as other. Do"

1 shall not go as others do
To seek the quiet spot
In which they laid the last of you;
There, all loved is not
1t would not help me, who have known
That all that life could die,
To read the record on the stone
Recording where you lie.
do not seek you in the grave
Hard by the ivied tower;
But when the sun is on the wave,
The dewdrop on the flower,
When morning sings and swallows dart
Across the blue above,
feel your spirit stir the heart
In which / buried love.

No, never shall l write for fame,
To gain applause of men.
Be this my simpler, nobler aim
To hold my faltering pen
And pray that some wise hand unseen
VIII guide my thoughts Alright,
That l may send one CLEAN between
The shadows of the night.
If I could sing one helpful note,
To cheer some struggling soul
Across the sea wherein we float,
And help him reach his goal,
Then I should be content to die,
And rest beneath some stone,
Wherein the pilgrim, passing by,
Might read the word Unknown"

Her name is like a song to me,
Her memory like flowers,
A tune as sweet as birds repeat
In early summer bow'rs.
A garden doth belong to me

Because my mind can show
The perfect grace Of soul and face
OF her whose faith 1 know

And browns me In delight!

The Grumbler.

The grumbler growls at Natures plan
He's sorry that he's human.
He doesn't want to be man,
Nor yet to be woman.
He'd hate to be beast or such
AS share the f1sh's lot;
In fact, 'twould not annoy him much
If he were not.
He takes you by the buttonhole
And grumbles in your ear.
He tells you that his very soul
Is shriveled up and sere.
He wishes he were dead and gone,
But whew! you'd make him hot
To hint the world would still jog on
If he were not

Arranging For President 3 Visit.

Lieut.. II. ]. ZIegemeier, who, as secre-
tary to the academic board OF the Naval
Academy, is the official representative OF
Commander Richard Wainwright, super.
intendent of the Naval Academy, paid a
visit to Governor Smith yesterday and
had consultation with him over the part
which the state representatives will take
IN the reception to President Roosevelt
when he visits Annapolis on Friday for
the purpose OF conferring diplomas upon
the graduating naval cadets.
Lieutenant Ziegemeier extended an in
vitation on behalf of the superintendent
TO Governor Smith and his official attend
ants to be present on the occasion, and il
was accepted by the Governor.
A conference was also held over the
proper protection to the President while
on the way from the railroad station to
the Naval Academy gate, and the Gov
ernor gave the assurance that this would
also receive his attention. After the in =
terview Governor Smith stated that the
adJdtant general was away, but that i'm
medIately upon his return he would con-
suit with him in regard to ordering out a
portion of the National Guard. Com
panies M and 6 of the First Regiment

probable that they will be ordered to per-
form similar services in honor OF the
