THE LOVE OF LATER YEARS.

What of the strong mans stubborn pas
sion,
When Love comes singing sweet and low?
What of the long-established fashion
When Love comes pleading Let 1t go!
From habits that ens.aved before
He turns one newborn, to sign,
He dreams of wildwood haunts no more.
His gun and rod unche rished lie.
The thurders of applause that shook
The halls of state for him are all
Forgotten when she turns to look
And when he hears her softly call;
The wisdom that he had he lays
Aside, forgetting to be wise,
He Graves no honor but her praise.
His universe is in her eyes.
What of the strong mans solid reason
When Love comes signing: STRAY with
me?''
To noble heights or down to treason
He follows on submissively
From that which armies might have tried
In vain to move him he recedes,
And at a pensive Woman's side
The strong man sghs and humbly pleads.
The dreams that young love dreams are
fair
The sghs that young love sighs are
sweet.
Glad angels hover, watching where
The lips OF coy young lovers meet
The skies above young love are blue,
The laughter of young love is gay;
To young love all the world is new
And all its troubles far away.
But send to me the sweeter. later
Love, b,osSoming where sorrows lie,
Ihe deeper love the broader, greater,
That comes to flower but not to die
For him, when youths wild dreams are
spent
And Time has withered many a hope
GOD gifts are best if Love is sent
To lead him down the western slope.

No one will feel much sympathy for
the fate of King Alexander of Servia.
He came of a bad strain of blood and
has only added one more chapter to the
somewhat disgraceful history of the
petty or puppet kingdoms of eastern
Europe. servia has been the scene of
continued intrigue, revolution, assassi-
nation and wild debauchery on the part
of its rulers. Anything might happen
in Servia, as it might in Bulgaria. An
thony Hope sketched Servia to some
extent in his wild, yet thrilling romance

over to Dixon's bush and ask Tom
for some"
"And what goose you'd make Of
yourself" snapped Bessie.
"Well, I dunno. There's worse fell
lers than Tom Dixon. I've never been
mad at him."
'But you ought to be. You shouldn't
stand up for any one who has acted
as mean as he has"
"No, mebbe not, but perhaps you
were a little bit 10 blame. I'd like
some new maple sugar, as 1 was say
ing, and next to that I'd like two or
three leeks to eat with bread and but
ter. The leeks must just be coming
up in the woods now, and I can fair
ly taste 'em. If father wasn't so busy
to-day I'd have him go down in the
woods and look for some"
Bessie made no reply, but an hour
later when her mother happened to
look out Of the kitchen window and
saw her climbing the pasture fence
and making for the woods she said
to herself:
"Our woods and the Dixon's woods
join, and if leeks and maple sugar
don't get together, it won't be my
fault"
Bessie reached the home woods and
began to look for leeks. Here and
there was one beginning to sprout, but
she passed them by and went far

BY and by she came to the line
fence dividing the farms. The leeks
on the other side looked bigger, and,

bigger.

was still wandering along, when she
passed brush heap, and a rabbit
ran out with a great rustic. Natur-

The rustic of the rabbit was fol-
lowed by the boot Of an owl, and
naturally the girl screamed again. She
heard the sound Of footsteps near at
hand, and was about to scream for
the third time, when she heard the
words:
Miss Taylor, do not be afraid"
It was Tom Dixon, with two pals
Of sap suspended from the neck-yoke

THRIFTY GERMAN WOMAN,
She Makes the Government Custodian
of Valuable Securities.

She Makes the Government Custodian
of Valuable Securities.
If women are not quite such good
hands at making money as men, they
at least take the palm in devising
extraordinary means for saving it, says
the London Telegraph. A curious case
in point has recently come to the
knowledge of a firm of bankers in
Bunzlau, who, disguised at the clever
ness with which they have been de-
prived Of their yearly fees, have made
the matter public. In that city there
is a wealthy woman who Is wont to
improve her mind by frequent travels
and as she possesses a goodly cOllec
ton of debentureS, shares and other
kinds of scrip she was accustomed to
deposit them in a well-known bank
there during her absence, paying a con-
siderable sum for their safekeYping.
Last March she hit upon a most in
genious way Of cutting down this eX-
pense. She put all her scrip in capa-
cious envelopes, had them duly regis
tered and directed to a fictitious adj
uISSS Ill DCL1lA, WI1tlAS OH lu0 S1l-
velope her own name as the sender,
and requesting that they should be re-
turned to her in case Of nondelivery.
And then she set out for her Journey.
The packets in due time found their
way to the capital, where the post left
nothing undone to discover the where
abouts of the mythical addressee. After
having spent days and days in fruit
less research the officials gave it up
in despair and returned the packet to
Bunzlau to be handed back to the
sender. But as she was absent and as
it is against the rules Of the German
post to give registered letters to any
one but the person whose name is on
the envelope the authorities were fore
ed to take charge of the packets until
the woman's return. The saving thus
affected is said to be very considerable
and the post and the bank are devising
some method Of checkmating the
scheme in the future.

in THE SUGAR BUSH


airy, and, as the farmer had met with
an accident, the month Of March saw
Tom at work alone in the sugar bush
and having his hands full.
On the night of the 9Th he gave a
'sugar-off" party to half dozen
young fellows and their girls, and, OF
couse, Bessie heard Of 1t.
Tom heard that she heard of it.
and also that she said that she never
could see any romance in trailing
about the wet woods and eating maple
wax off a chip, and so he repeated
the performance a week later This
time she had no remarks to make, and
he felicitated himself that he had made
her feet real bad.
Three or four days after his Sec
ond party Mrs. Taylor said to her
daughter:
Bessie, I've got a great yearning
for taste Of new maple sugar, and
if it wasn't for my sore heel I'd 60
