II was, think my vanita-
A form OF mild insanity
That led TO my anxiety
TO be In high" society.
I met. OF course. frigidity,
But put aside tinidity,
Advanced with intrepidity,
And found-ah, me!-aridity.
Behind the gauze OF sightliness'
The thin veneer OF sprightliness'
There lay but pride and haughuness'
With some engrossing naughtiness.
The motives were inscrutable,
For rules they held immutable-
Unless 20 keep the clamorous
From noting matters amorous.
In truth, II seemed temerity
To use absurs austerity,
A pretense OF severity,
AS cloak for insincerity.
They rallied against intrusiveness,
And talked about exclusiveness;
They said II was presumptuous,
But still they showed proclivity
For only such activity
In line OF sccentricity.

PERSONAL.

Lady Glentworth, an Englishwom-
an who distinctly remembers seeing
the guards march off on their way to
Waterloo, celebrated her Tooth birthday
recently. She has borne her present
title for sixty-eight years.
In his recent brochure on lola M.
Fapuet of the Academic Franchise
says "Zola began to write too soon.
Every man who writes before he is 20
and who does not devote the golden
age of his life, from the twentieth
year to the thirtieth, to reading, OBJ
serving and thinking. without writing
a line, runs the risk of having no
brain and of being but a journeyman
author"
When President Roosevelt was in

something good, said: DO you wish
to see him particularly" II never
seen but one President in my life, an,
of course, I would like to see him on
gin'ral principles replied the coun-
tryman. But what I wants to see
this one fur mos particular is to see
if he's got them squirrel teeth the
papers say he has" And then and
there the President displayed his
squirrel teeth in the broadcast of
grins. Gosh. ter blazes, you're the

SOCIALISTS GAIN 10 SEATS.

The impression was that in the cleo
tons in Germany on Tuesday the So
cialists would make gains. They are
getting a strong foothold in that coun-
try. In the last Reichstag they had
81 members and in the new one they
will have 70. That is a gain of is in
five years. The vote they polled in
1898 was 2107. 100. In the election on
Tuesday it was over 100000. There
are about fifteen other parties, but
the Socialists polled many more votes
than any other one of them. Some
of the other parties poll very small
vote, and are hardly worth consider
ing. Still, they are of great import
ance when they are needed to resist
some of the demands of the Social
lists.
After the Centrists the Liberals are
the largest party. In their political
aims they do not differ so very radi-
cally from the Socialist Democrats.
Indeed the gains of the Socialists are
made largely from that party. OF
course the sympathies of the Emperor
are against the Socialists On more
than one occasion he has taken oc-
casion to express his hostility to them.
His position in regard to them, how
ever, does not disturb them in the
least They are firm in the belief
that the political views they enter
tain are the right ones and they are
very much in earnest in making con-
verts to them.
Socialism has had a slow but steady
growth in Germany. AS far back as
1874 harsh laws were passed to repress
it. Naturally these laws had an
effect directly the opposite to that de-
sired. Persecution made converts to
socialism.
Many of the demands of Social.
lists are such as appeal to the
common sense of the great mass
of the people. Hence the So
cial Democratic party is likely tc
continue to grow. But it is by no
means certain that, as it increases in
power, its purposes will be as mod
crate as they are now. In France
they have become more conservative
as their power has increased. If that
should be the case in Germany it is
/ probable that opposition to them
would gradually decrease.
That socialism is on the increase In
/ the United States, there is no doubt
/ The Socialists now poll a very large
vote in Massachusetts vote that is
steadily and rapidly increasing. They
are making their influence felt in
some Of the other states. but in nc
one 20 the extent that it is felt In
| Massachusetts.

While the boys We're telling fish
stories at the Pfster yesterday. SAYS
the Milwaukee Sentinel, United State,
Marshal Thomas B. Reid related the
following, saying 1t had preyed on his
mind for twenty years, and that now
ne telt called on to relate it, as the
parties principally interested had pass
ed TO the great beyond:
Now that A. Ledyard Smith has
gone to his reward" he said, "and
can no longer Ostracize me from So
clety | have confession to make.
You all knew Mr.. Smith. and appre-
cIate what nice man and kindly
companion he was. Well twenty
years ago we went north on a fishing
excursion with party of railroad
men, taking private car that was
set out anywhere we pleased. Com
ing back, we stopped at Eagle River.
and while out in a canoe with a half
breed and myself Mr.. Smith hook
ed muscalOnge while fishing for
bass. We certainly had a time with
that fish. But Mr. Smith kept him on
the line until we padded ashore. when
= Indian took the line over his
shoulder and proceeded up the trail,
the hsh following because he was tired
and could not help himself.
L could
wait no longer, but jumped on his
back and pinned him down until
Smith could get a crack at his head
with a club. When we got back to
the car we hung the fish on the rail-
ing, and its tail dragged on the ground.
You can imagine how proud Smith
was, and also can have faint CON
ception of his indignation when the
other boys expressed doubts about his
having caught it. He appealed to me.
and my natural propensity to joke got
me to do something that l have since
regretted many a time l stood be-
hind Smith where he did not see NV
face, and while solemnly asserting
that he caught the fish, accompanied
the statement with a wink that de-
prived the story of any effect on the
belief of the company. They secuted
me as a secondhand Ananias, irving
to serve a friend
That night when they were all
asleep L crept out of the car, aroused
the halfbreed. and we went to an
Indian camp a mile away and hired a
greasy buck to come to the car in the
morning and claim his pay for the
fish. That performance cost me 50
in cash, besides the wear and tear
of my shins, falling over the logs
going and coming.
What happened in the morning was
just too awful. The Indian. carefully
coached, marched into the car while
we were at breakfast, and approach
ing Mr.. Smith, held out a greasy hand
and grunted; Money for the fish you
bought yesterday. For a minute Mr.
smith was speeches. with indignation
and then his flow of language was
something startling The halfbreed
hurried into the car and hustled the
Indian out, and he took to the woods
with his ST.
THE boys laughed and yelled and
guyed until Mr.. Smith actually became
sick, and went to bed for the day
Many time since 1 have thought OF
confessing what did, but 1 never had
the courage to let him know. and
now he has gone, and l make this
reparation to his memory, and hone
the survivors of the party will now
believe the true tale of the fish. Most
of them are dead now, more's the
pity"

Some have got there every time.
