Youth.

Hail. beauteous aureole OF the Future,
spread
Beneath sky with radiant promise
glowing,
Where Youth, uncrowning now his hoary
head.
Speeds Winters flight, and smiles upon
him going:
The ling'ring footballs of the rugged sage
Are with the echoes of his voice re-
ceding.
stage
The lovely maid her loyal host is lead
ing.
Hope. ever beaming with smile she
brings
To warm the heart with pulses sweetly
human;
And Faith unto her, e'en with rapture,
clings,
AS strength to man and love unto
woman.
With deft and mystic touch of sun and
shower,
She garlands earth with every vernal
blossom,
And. meath the stars, dreams through
the moonlit hour.
In blest repose upon her mothers
bosom!
The trembling twig upon the parent
Proclaims the oak it's greater growth
devising.
AS. in the morn, the glow on orient's
Foretells the strength of him who is
uprising;
The infant springing t'ward the rose in
bloom.
Though but sunbeam. fitting and di-
urnal.
Still unto. Age returns the sweet per-
fume.
The Youth, Here and Hereafter. is
eternal!

Loves Legacy.

/ waited long for Love to come,
| Longing for him with vague unrest
To come and kiss my tired eyes
And soothe my throbbing heart to rest
thought that never tears should rise
Again. nor grief should come to me;
That nights then dark would lose their
gloom
That changed all the world would be.
At last he came. and oh. what Joy
He brought! No dream of mine
Had ever reached such lofty heights
Nor could such bliss divine.
But with the joy came bitter pain
When this dear Love was born;
The rose he pressed against my heart
Still kept its cruel thorn.
Never such smiles as those of Love.
But ne'er such bitter pain
Nor cruel wounds deep in my heart,
Nor tears like wintry rain!
Love came and stayed for one brief
hour
Within my open door;
Then woe to me. he went away,
Never to enter more!
Yes. Love is gene; but still, he came
And left oil this with me:
A kiss. a wound, a rose. a smile,
A sad, sweet memory.

Matrimony in Veterans Home.

''The only thing i can tell you of the
| Wisconsin Veterans Home" remarked
j. H. Harmon, last evening, at the Ra-
| leigh, lis the predilection of the vets
| and the widows for matrimony. 1t was
| formerly great deal more marked than
| it is at the present time. The board OF
trustees established rule requiring
the old people to obtain official permis-
sion before they linked their fortunes.
You see it was just this way: The
widows would throw up their pensions
and commit matrimony, and then in a
short time they would make their ap-
peals to the home for clothing. Shortly
fellow stopped the commander, Colonel
Ellis, as he was walking through the
grounds. and said
g Colonel, why is the Wisconsin Vet
erans' Home like the Kingdom of
Heaven
I'm sure / don't know the colonel
replied. except it's because there is so
much happiness here. The colonel said
he felt Just little bit fattered by the
conundrum, but that his pride had a fall
when the veteran replied:
No. colonel. it is not exactly that.
It's because the inmates are neither
married nor given in marriage
The colonel tells another story of
taking his wife to the home to attend
the funeral of the third wife of one of
the veterans. AS the pallbearers began
to lower the body into the grave the man
was heartbroken in his grief and en.
planned:
I wish l was in the grave with my
Wife
Poor fellow exclaimed Mrs. Ellis.
He feels dreadfully.'
The colonel knew the failing of the
veteran, and declared to his wife that
the old fellow would be married again
within six months.
Sure enough, at the end of three
weeks the veteran once more became
Benedict. You see. these old people Sc
cure more comfortable quarters when
they are married. They are given
room to themselves, while they have to
live in wards with from four to twenty
others when they are single.
The home is in excellent shape.
There are 657 inmates and the number
of deaths this year thus far has been
only eighteen. The accommodations
are ample for the present"

ment headquarters yesterday. He is en-

FIGURING 1T UP
By JOSH WINK.

The captain strobe the quarterback;
The crews were at the guns;
The powder flames leaped fiercely out
Like as the lightning runs.
Afar the fortress rose, all grim,
And beloved in reply,
TIL smoke and fire and thunder sound
Shook both the sea and sky.
And the captain took
His little book,
And figured away, while his fingers
shook:
'2 into 10 goes 16 times,
And the square OF II is 4;
7e is the cube of 6.
And my deck is wet with gore.
SO is the G d,
And plus is g
And my ship is shot to a battered
hulk
And l haven't man alive!'
The other captain, in the fort,
Stood sadly on parade;
The gatlings, siege. and other guns
A fearsome racket made.
They doomed across the troubled waves,
Against the swooping ships,
And as their echoes thrilled the air
The captain bit his lips.
And he also took
His little book,
And figured it out with a worried look:
'6 per cent of dozen men.
And the sine of is more,
All bisected by %
And the arc of "a;
3 plus s. to the decimal.
And the tare and tret," he said,
Combined with the subdivided sum.
Shows all my men are dead"
Thus each side lost and each side won,
And each side fought the fray,
And now they're figuring upon
The powder bills to pay.
Grim war is awful, at its best,
But who will lose or lick
II he relies entirely on
The old arithmetic?
Baltimore American,
The Washington times., 1902-09-17

The for this indifference or lack of interest
is easily explained The press of today, which has
made wonderful strides in enterprise fully dis
cusses the political questions of the day, and the
voter reads and thinks for himself.
The candidate for office longer arouse
large crowd by pursuing the old methods. He must
do the spectacular if he would move audience He
must amuse his hearers with song and story while
shooting little political wisdom into them. No one
understands this better than Senator Hanna, who
campaigns in special train, or Mayor Tom Johnson,
who is now drawing immense crowds with his circus
tents. 1t is the and novel; the spectacular, that
appeals to the galleries; the grandstand plays and
the unusual that now appeal to the voter 1t is no
longer the serious argument the joint debate
which often terminated in an exchange of personal
tiles and mud throwing.
And then, again, campaigns are conducted DIFF
ferenty in different parts of the country, so that
there can be no general rule prescribed. The meth
DDS of drawing and holding crowds at political gath
erings today are not the methods employed twenty
odd years ago.
