THE MORNING SUMMONS.

When the mist is on the river, and the haze
is on the hills.
And the promise of the sprinStimc all
the ample heaven fills;
When the shy things in the woodlands
and the hardy on the plains
Catch up heart and feel a lcaping life
through winter sluggish veins:
Then the summons of the morning Ike q
lUgie moves the blood.
Then the soul of men grows larger like
i flower from the bud;
For the hope of high Endeayor is cordial
half divine.
And the banner cry Of Onward calls the
laggarGs into line.
There is glamour Of the moonlight when
the stars rain peace below.
Bat the stir and smell Of morning is a
better thing to know;
While the night is hushed and holden and
transported by dreamy song.
Lo, the dawn brings dew and fire and
the rapture Of the strong.

RED-HAIRED ROMANCE.
Matrimo nial Negotiations by Mail
Which Failed at the Finish.


Here is a romance fit for the pen of
a Laura Jean Libbey. The title should
be: They loved. but their hair was
red He lived at Sherburne, \. Y,
and she lived at GaletOn, Pa They be-
came acquainted by correspondence. aud
when the right time came they ey
changed photographs. He was so pleased
with her picture that he asked her 10
meet him at Binghamton for the purpose
OF visiting a clergyman on official bust
ness. She was so pleased with his pic
ture that she consented. He was waiting
when her train reached Binghamton.
At glance he saw that her face was
all that it had been represented to be-
that her youth was self-evident. and that
in form and manner she came ND to
all the specifications of the picture and
the correspondence. Joy illuminated his
cOuntenance until he glanced at her hair,
1t was red. Then he ran.
At what he considered safe defiance
he paused. and told her gently, but firm
ly. that they had made a mistake. He
admitted her worth, but he could not
marry "A red-headed girl. She went her
way, and he went his. ''out of each 9th
er's lives" as they say in the novels.
One essential fact has been omitted
thus far. He was red-haired also.-New

BYRON WAS BARRED.
Dean of Westminster Refused TO Ac-

Many years ago some admirers of
Lord byron raised a substitution for Il
monument to the poet, to be placed in
Westminster Abbey. Nhautrcy was Ie-
quested to execute it, but on account of
the smallnesS of the sum subscribed he
declined and ThorwaldSen was then APP

work. In about >@i tn" finished statue

MILITARY TITLES MIXED.
IHdefinite Ideas in the Minds of Most
Men Cause Queer Errors.

AieH 1ansc queer Errors.
\ military title is a very definite idea
in the minds of many men, no matter
how it may be priced by its possessor,
says the Washington Star. The fact
that a colonel, major or captain look
very much alike to senators was shown
on the first day of the debate on Senator
Patterson's resolution concerning the
immediate bringing here of Mai. Cor
nelus gardener from the Philippines in
order that he might testify before the
committee on the PHILIPPINES.
During the debate of an hour and
half on that day Maj Gardener was
elevated to the rank of colonel or de-
graded to that of captain, indiscrimi-
nately. The dohate called in remarks
from about dozen senator's, and they
We're about evenly divided in their desig-
nations of the title of Maj. Gardener.
The sagacous official reporters of the
Senate, however. brought order out of
chaos. as they so often do. They equal
lied the titles that were indiScriminately
conferred on Maj. Gardener. so that he
was major throughout the debate, ac-
cording to the record.
But military titles are sources of
trouble III other places beside the Senate
Even ut the war department they cause
endless trouble. In official circles any
one below the rank of captain is desig
mated as Mr. and in order to have the
rank of officers above that grade high
enough it Is customary to add one or
two grades, to be sure Of not making q
mistake and not giving offense. The
high rank enjoyed by many officers to
the volunteer army has been retained by
their friends in addressing them There
are any number Of "Generals' and
"Colonels" in common pdrlance whose
rank in the regular army is two or three
grades below the title given.
