CHANG e.

A dusty hollow where the pond once Law
wlthered bank, once green with moss
and shade;
But yonder in wide meadow-lands the hay
Stands straight and tall to wait the now
er's blade.
A silence, morn and noon among the trees
Where all day long the robins used to
sing;
But life has sweeter uses now for these
Why should we mourn the spring?
A dry sharp stubble where the grain-felds
gold
Spread out of late their wealth in wav-
ing pride;
Rich treasure of the autumn countryside
The sunlight waning with the waning year.
The sting Of frost at twilight and at
dawn;
But hearth and woodland glow with scar
let cheer
Why mourn for summer gone?
veil OF mist across the purple hills,
A hush of snow along the forest aisles;
brooding peace that through the silence
thrills
Above the wilderness of unbroken miles
sealed hope beneath the clasping snow,
Hope sure to quicken soon at sprir gtime's
breath.
The world shall wake again when south
winds blow;
Life shall be born of death

Nobody at Newport will attempt
to Guido Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt in
the glory of her fete at Beaulieu,
which provided the guests with a
complete theatrical entertainment in

them away with their arms full of
silver and jeweled souvenirs; so
Mrs. Vanderbilt is assured of the
championship until next summer at
least. Prosperity is indeed upon the
country, and a prosperity of the
regular Coal Oil Johnny sort.

IGNORANT OF GEOGRAPHY.
Some OF the POsers Put by a Germap
to an American Girl About Her
Own Country

"A thing about Americans which
has surprised me more than any,
thing else," said a German artist
who has been visiting in this city
for six months past, says the New
York Tribune, of recent date, "is
that with all your patriotism YOU
know so little about the geography
OF your own country, to say nothing
of the rest of the world"
There were several Americans in
the circle, and they looked rather
surprised. None of the men spoke.
They knew that they were weak in
geography, and that here was a
challenge which would have to pass.
Not so bright young woman of
20, who rushed into the breach with
her head in the air.
I'VE do know the geography of
our country" she said, decidedly.
"Of course we do. Every child
learns it in school,"
Might I ask you a question or
two?' the foreigner said, quietly.
The names of the capitals of some
of your states, for instance?"
Certainly, I'll be glad to answer
and she nodded confidently to the
young American man who was al
ready beginning to fear for her.
What is the capital of Massachu-
setts?" was the first question.
Boston," was the prompt answer
from the girl.
''And of North Carolina?''
That seemed to puzzle her little.
and it was a full minute before she
answered "Charleston''
The foreigner smiled, but made no
effort to correct her. "What is the
highest mountain in the United
States@ he asked.
Its not fair to ask about noun
tains,' she protested. you said 7
didn't know the capitals"
"The capital of Illinois is?''
"Chi-Springfeld, I mean
"Of Montana?"
For the life of her she could not
think of town in Montana. Its
been an age since I studied geog-
raphy," she explained.
''Your answers were better than
the average" said the man. "You
got one right out of four. "As 1
said, American geography surprises
me-"

The Parable of the Pennies.

Word comes from Newport that
Miss Alice Roosevelt was so fatigued
from the entertainments of the week
that she did not appear with her host
and hostess, Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Cut
ting, at Trinity church last Sunday.
And this calls to mind the story of
the little boy who was given two
pennies, one to put into the contri-
button box and one to buy candy,
and he lost one of them. Guess
which one it was.

Perhaps it is something new in poll

OF New York, that David Bennett
Hill couldn't be elected president be-
cause he is bald is startling. It is
quite true that bald-headed presi-

AT that time a young assistant in
structor. with pretty face and fine
figure, and military bearing, came and
installed himself in the town. All the
girls ran after him, but he pretended
to treat them with disdain, being, be-
sides, much afraid of the master of
the school, his superior, Father Grabu,
who was not always in the best of
tempers.
Father Grabu employed at that time
as seamstress the beautiful Hortense
(who has just died in your house), and
who was later, after her accident, bap-
tlzed Clochette.
The assistant teacher distinguished

meeting in the granary of the school,

She made a pretense of returning

staircase and leaving the Grabu house,
she mounted the stairs and hid herself
IN the hay, to await her lover. He
soon joined her, and was commencing
to make love to her, when the door of
the loft opened, and the master of the
school made his appearance, saying:
What are you doing up here, Sig

found out, the infatuated young
tutor answered stupidity: 81 came up

the old man; and, locking the door, he

Then the young man, coward as
