NIGHT.

When you have walked the weary way
The weary way that leads BY noon
And takes you to the end Of day.
You know there waits for you boon
You know that on ahead is rest,
For roses drip with twilight dew
And all things seem but tor the best
When Night holds out her arms to you.
When Night holds out her arms to you.
You know your cares have found release
That what stern battling you must do
Is for the time bid pause by peace
For down the slopes the shadows drift
And singing breezes talter through
The silence where the hills uPlIit-
And Night holds out her arms to you.
When night holds out her arms. it seems
As though she brought each one crown
\ crown Of happiness and dreams
She comes to countryside and town
With poppes in her dusky hands
And poppies in her garments. too
All gracefully she comes and stands
And holds her soothing arms TO you.

Mr.. Bowser asked the plumber
whether he had any May apple trees
on his farm and the man Of solder
looked at him in curious way and
replied;
"No, not any. fl had I should
present them to museum. When
May apples take to growing on trees
I shall expect to see corn growing on
vines. You'd better 90 out into the

Mr.. Bowser was not satisfied. In
his minds eye he could see bushels
and bushels of May apples growing
on dozens and dozens of trees as he
walked in the direction Of his family
drug store. He could almost taste
the fruit as he entered.

Nothing much. Didn't you use

Huma nity's Defects.

"Men boast of their superiority" said
Chicago doctor who has Il weakness
for phlosophizing. taking it for grant
ed that they are far in advance of all
other things that live here on earth. 1t
Is true that they have some wonderful
achievements to their credit. but did
you ever see a horse. for instance, that
was cross eyed? Compare the number
OF dcformities among children with
those OF young animals. and you will
lind that among all the horses. cattle.
sheep. hogs. dogs. cats and everything
else belonging to the animal world
there are nowhere near as many con-
genital deformties as among people.
This undoubtedly is due to the fact
That the animals live more nearly as
nature intended them to than we do
Tut we mustn't find fault. Think of
the specialists who would be workin.
MS day laborers if every child came in
to the world perfect. and our tailors
ana drcSsmakerS would all be forced
out OF business if nobody had defects
to hide. We must never lose sight Of
the fact that our shortcomings are arts
greatest stimulus. - Chicago Record

laughed and called him clumsy, in
English. but she felt the thrill of prox-
unity.
The 1nhospitable little hostelry in
Furka's pinnacle did its prettiest for
the travellers in the way of rest and re-
1reshment. The Elderly Ones accepted
gratefully the half hours break in the
long sitting journey. Jane and her
German walked about In smiling and

SesSed himself of an English and Ger
man dictionary. and it was through
this humble instrument that the charm
ed silence was broken.
For the rest Of the way Jane and her
cavalier sustained spirited conversa-
ton. That this method of communica-
ton was somewhat slow and laborious
(for each word of a sentence must be.
looked out separately in no whit
married their interest. And as the day
waXed names. addresses and bits of
their respective histories were ex-
changed to mutual satisfaction. Fin
gers touched inadvertently and linger-
ed ever so little in the shadow of the
dictionary, and knowledge Of each 9TH
err grew apace.
That the girl was under their careful
espionage was enough for the Elderly
Ones, and when the young German pre-
| scented his credentials the name was
| found to be a very old and illustrious
! one, so they were content.
The descent on the farther side of the
pass. the stupendous panorama of the
RhOne valley, with it's weird, glittering
mystery of virgin ice, were clearly lost
upon two of the passengers for the lit
tie struggling village of Gletsch lay a
spot just below-Gletsch and parting
of ways.
The sepulchral looking hall of the
Glacier hotel made rather a gloomy
Fetting for the end of the little drama.
The young German must take his own
way. while Jane must go hers with the
Elderly Ones. The two clasped hands
for several long minutes while they
said goodby wistfully and without the
dictionary, and when. the blue eyes
looked away from the brown ones they
were suspiciously bright. But the great
broad shoulders stopped suddenly over
Jane, and their owner whispered tender
" magic word into her waiting ear.
1t was "Auf wiedersehen.'
That Jane should be snapped up I'M
tremendously in her first season by a
bold and unknown foreign count was a |
matter of much comment and no little |
regret among her friends at home. 1t |
was in vain they tried by various |
means to learn the romantic details of |
her short engagement. But the broad, |
distinguished figure Of the foreigner |
certainly made handsome and strik- |
ing background for James glistening |

ried with the aid of the dictionary too!

The note of horn, the snap Of q
whip, and the great coach swayed out
upon the winding road, gay atop with
bright steamer robes and trunks be-
decked with multicOlOred labels; in
side, the blase interest of middle age
and the bright alertness of the young
girl. reaching out eagerly for new ex-
periences--stranges scenes.
Jane and the Elderly Ones made a
comfortable party of three, and had
settled themselves for the journey.
But a few miles on in the valley, as
they stopped at the little town of An
dermatt. the empty seat was filled-a
man had stepped in upon them with a
courteous word Of apology for his in
vasion. He spoke in German, was
young and good looking and carried
the mark of universities about him.
The great shoulders dropping ever so
little in their long cape coat, spoke of
the student, and his cavernous pockets
bulged with fat volumes to be read en-
route.
But the calm eyes of the German
met James shadowy orbs at the second
mile, and forthwith the wicked little
blind god began his mischievous work.
1t was frank and open love from the
first with meinherr. Jane parted at
nrst as best she might. But after
awhile her round American chin went
up, and she shared her bird with de-
liberation, while the chaperons looked
on with amaZement. That the young
student knew no word of English and
Jane not word of German lent a GER
tain piquancy to the situation. but
proved in no way an obstacle The Ell
derly Ones ut least understood and
spoke in the foreign tongue, and to
them the young man addressed him
self, while to Jane the dark, expressive
eyes had language all their own.

AS the painting horses drew their
load slowly upward over the tortuous
road the coach seemed speck Oh the
bare, brown face of the mountain The
valley lay like toy below. the rocks
lifted gaunt peaks into the unnatural
air and huge feathery tufts of cloud
hung sluggishly in the shadows.
The young man drank in long
breaths of exhilaration and drew the
robes more cozily about James shoul-
ders as the atmosphere grew colder.

Some still existing superstitions
among Scotch fishermen are as follows:
At the beginning of the herring season
the crew all try to seize the herring
first on board to see if it be male or
female. If it is male their fishing
may be expected to be poor one; if a
female, good one. Sometimes, how
ever, the skipper secures it and hides it
away, sailing it and laying it aside for
the season. The boat must not be

their luck. Their dislike to have any
thing stolen IS increased by the fear
that the thief may have stolen their
