swinburne and the Baby.

Algernon Charles Swinburne, accord
ing to the statement of one of his
American friends, made a systematic
study of babies before he wrote his ad-
mirable rondels upon babyhood.
Mr.. Swinburne, who is bachelor,
one day went on tiptoe into the nur-
sery of a friends house and bent in
reverie over the infant that slept
there. AS he regarded it the slumber-
ing infant smiled. and in contempla-
ton of this seraphic smile the poets
heart was filled with joy and awe. But
a voice-the voice of the nurse-in-
terrupted his esctacy.
Its the wind, bless its heart" the
nurse whispered. Whenever they
smile in their sleep, sir, you may al
ways know they're troubled with the
wind"
Mr. Swinburne scowled and with
drew. On account of the nurses re-
mark he never wrote poem on the
subject of a baby's dreams.-Kansas

The DANGEROUS Drama.

Charles Frohman is laughing over
the naivete of a woman friend whose
young daughter wanted to see "a
beautiful play, with lots of ginger in
it."
I'D rather you didn't attend the the
alter just yet, DEAR" said the mother.
I'm afraid the influence of some of
the present plays is demoralizing.
What is this particular one?"
Its very exciting, the boy next door
told me; it's sort of Buffalo Bill
play, full of fights, and gambling and
murders, and things"
"Oh, that's all right, them" was the
reply, in measured tone, "I'll send
one of the maids with you. feared it
might be society drama!

WHY Her DANCING DRAGGED.
Young Lady Had Forgotten to Remove
Her Rubbers.

Young Lady Had Forgotten to Remove
Her Rubbers.
A young man who was born on a
ranch, and who, while getting his
education in the East, has turned
westward again every summer, and
has thus maintained fine, strong phy-
sique, recently danced with a young
woman of some two hundred pounds
in village not far west of Railway.
He noticed that the dancing was uphill
work, and, when it was over, sank into
a chair in the incipient stages of ex-
haustion. The young woman looked
thoughtfully across the shining sur
face of the floor and threw glance
of investigation at the corner where
the punchbowl stood.
Doesn't it strike you that the floor
is very sticky tonight" she inquired.
The young man calamity denied
thinking so.
at seems so to me-" the young wom-
an observed. Then she looked down
at her foot, protruding from silken
flounce, and exclaimed:
Why I've got my rubbers on!"-

A Psalm of Advertising.

Tell me not in sneering manner
Advertising does not pay.
Rich are they who fling their banner
Boldest to the world to-day.
Advertising done in earnest,
Done with wisdom, heart and soul,
With determination sternest,
Always wins the wiShed-for goal.
Lives of many men remind us
We to great success can climb,
If the reading public find US
Advertising all the time.
Advertising with persistent
Energy to spread our fame,
Ever honest and consistent
In performing what We claim.
In the worlds commercial battle,
In the rivalry of trade,
We must hustle shout and rattle
Ere impression can be made.
Not enjoyment-rather sorrow
Is the certain end of those
Who are apt to let tomorrow,
Like to-day, unheeded close.
Careless of their advertising,
Which, If penned in common sense,
Is the method enterprising
That insures. full recompense.

golf or tennis. bare-armed, all day long,
or go into the water bathing morning,

color she acquires in so doing. Why
is it. girls? Don't all shout the answer

II Yafa is a little town that was many.
times destroyed alike by Jews, Assyr-

Turks. It was to- Yafa that Hiram,
king Of Tyre, sent the cedar wood Gin

to Jerusalem for zSolomon's temple.
Jonah sailed from this little town to
Tarshish when fleeing from the face of
the Lord. It was in Yafa that the
humble Dorcas lived her life of good
deeds and upon her dying was raised
to life by Peter. To this shore the
great Richard Ceur de Lion swan,
girded in armor, fighting for Christen-
dom, and won a victory for the cru
saders over the Arab. Bonaparte left
a memory of his cruelty here by his
massacre of several thousand prisoners
and the poisoning of some persons at
1lcted with the plague. Simon the tan
ner's house, where Peter learned that
all nations were acceptable before
God, is one Of the few sights to be
seen in Yafa. In the courtyard there
1s a large we'll Of spring water, and
from the roof Of the house a most
beautiful view Of the surrounding
country presents itself. Another site

which stands in the garden Of the
