EVENTS.
His First Day at School.

A pair Of mittens, warm and red,
New shoes that had shiny toes,
A velvet cap for his curly head,
And a tie of palest rose;
A bag of books, a twelve-inch rule.
And the daintiest hands in town
These were the things that went to
school
With William Herbert Brown.
A ragged mitten without a thumb.
Two shoes hat were scorched at the
toes,
Ahead that whirled with the dizzy
hum
Since the SNOWFALL hit his nose,
A stringless bag and a broken rule,
And the dingiest hands in town
These were the things that came from
school
With happy "Billy" Brown.

Lines on Little Ruth.

The following poem was written by a
friend and sent to Mrs. w. p. McIntire, of
Holmquist, shortly after the death of her
little daughter, Ruth, which occurred on
March 18th, 1902.
Mother, no wonder your heart aches today
Otis so sad
No baby feet DER the carpet at play,
Out through the yard 'mong the flowers
TO stray
Chasing the ionliness all far away
With footsteps glad.
No baby laughter the household to cheer.
Now may be heard,
Nc baby tongue so ~musically clear,
Prattling sweet accents 10 everyone near,
Making the tedious hours far the less drear
With each wee word.
Nc baby form so coy, so dainty and fair,
No chubby arms,
No baby hand to caress pappa's hair,
From mammals brow smooth the faint
lines of care
Bringing the unshines of happiness there
As If by a charm.
No laughing eyes with soft fringes round,
No baby face
Deltcate tinted, the broad forehead
crowned
Quantity with ringlets of silkeu hair
That clustered half way DER the tiny
Sweet face.
No baby lips, fresh and rosy at play,
Smile sweetly bright.
No baby girl in the cottage today.
Death thought the jewel too fair, too prec-
ious TO stay
Long In your keeping. and bore Il away
Out of your sight.
Bore 1t away from temptation and pain,
Peril and strife.
Lest they the beautiful spirit should stain.
Mourn not then, Dear I'arents. your loss
Is her gain.

the Hawaiian islands, in 1897; Porto Rico
and Guam, annexed In 1S9S, and one of the
Samoan islands, in 1S99-for rome of which
