And laughed at wounds and pain.
He taught the Frenchman chivalry
And set his soul on fire:
The Englishman to love the sea,
And wake the tuneful Tyre.

Ballad of Old Songs.

Life Is q song and love is sweet,
Sins me then to the old refrain,
Laughing lyrics with tripping feet,
Pattering music like drops of rain.

Oh, for the ballad of surge and sway,
Words that wave like a field of grain
Where are the songs Of yesterday?
Stately IN tune with the measured beat,
But coon songs fill US with pensive
pain,
Yet it's ever and always the thing we
meet,
Ever and always and over again,
Till 1t verify makes of life a bane!
Singers, a respite of you we pray
From the baby warm by the razor slain
Where are the songs Of yesterday?
Verses like this we madly bleat,
Trying to voice our deep disdain
For the song and dance described as neat
In comic operas tangled skein.
Oh, for the time Of a poets reign!
These limping filters to drive away,
Is there nothing to lose and nothing to
Where are the songs of yesterday?
Poet prince. to our pleading, deign
Make us a laughing, loving lay;
Tell us In tune what we ask in vain

THE SCIENCE OF BUILDING.
Exactitude Which ~Characterizes tho
Construction of Skyscrapers.

Many Of the great steel structures
that are being built in every city are
are planned and nodded in some dis
tant Gty-like the material for SOLO,
mons temple Of old-hundreds or
miles away. 1t Is in some rolling mill
town of Pennsylvania thai most OF the
gigantic framework for the modern
skyscrapers are built. All that re-
mains to be done is to put them to-
gether, and the building rises up like
a house of blocks.
Every piece is fitted together n
numbered before it is taken away
from the steel mill. So exact are the
measurements that not even the drill
ing of a hole is necessary for fitting
the rivets which fasten the plates n
girdens together. The watchlike pre-
cision with which these parts are
made was shown in the construction
of one Of these buildings which is now
being erected in Chicago.
One of the large cross Orders was
missing in the framework Of the Sec
ond floor, and though it did not inter-
fere with the placing of the frame
work on all sides and above it, the
contractor was worried to know what
had become of it. When the frame
work had grown as high as the sixth
or seventh story and the missing
piece had not been found around the
railroad yards or heard of from any
other source, he wrote to the steel
mill, describing it as closely as pos
sible, ordering that it be duplicated.
BY the return mail he received the
following reply:
"As ground space is more valuable
in Chicago than here in the country,
We are storing missing girder for you.
We knew that you would need a steel
derrick on that floor, and kept the
girder out so you would have room.
Will ship it after the remaining
stories have been completed"
The mill men mad figured correctly
on the building hundreds of miles
away, and the girder could not have
been placed in position, even If it had
been on the ground, on account Of the
derrick.

N ESCAPE FROM PRISON.
How Louis Napoleon Fled from tho
Fortress of Ham.


Prince Louis Napoleon, after"aro
NAPOLEON ILL.,, effected his escape lro"
Ham in 1916 in a singular manner ne
was imprisoned for his attempts
against the French government maue
at Boulogne in 1910. At 7 o'clock n
morning the prince, having shaVeo MS
mustache and thrown a blouse anu
workingman's trousers over his own
clothes, and wearing wooden shoes
quietly walked out of the prison, carry
ing q bookshelf over his shoulder, TO
complete his disguise. He was taken
to be one of the painters then at Worh
in the prison and was passed by sew
eral persons. A carriage was waiting
in the neighborhood and by 3 O'CLOCK
in the afternoon he was at Valen-
ciennes, where he took a train 10
Brussels, and he arrived In LONDON
two days later. Meanwhile l n the
prison DR.. Conneau, the princes physl-
clan, had placed a dummy in the
princes bed and told the governor that
the prince was confined to his o
by illness. This satisfied the governor
until Z o'clock In the evening, when
he insisted on seeing the prince and
discovered the fraud. BY this time OF
course, the prince was over the from
tier. DR.. Conneau got of with three
months of prison. Within thirty-one
months Prince Napoleon was the first
president of a French republic, sup
planting King Louis Philippe, who
had abdicated.

A u IN REALISM.
Little Girls Naive Comment on Her
Mothers Photograph.

Mothers Photograph.
1t was a funny little speech OF wee
Eleanor's. SO father and mother agreed
that evening as they laughed over the
mental picture each had Of the saucy
turned-up nose and the merry blue
eyes Of their ~four-year-old. Yet, wasn't
there a great deal of feeling in the
speech, too; and perhaps a bit OF pa
thos?
Eleanor's mamma had shown her
the beautiful new picture that a pho
tographer had just sent home. She
was a young mother, of course; and
eve SO pretty, in a tender, dainty
way. But she could be a severe moth
err, an avenging spirit, and could show
this in her clear-cut profile, all sweet
ness in the photograph.
Eleanor had one chubby dimpled
hand thrown lovingly over her moth
er's shoulder; the other held the pic
ture. Long and steadily the child
kept this pose. There was great ad.
miration in the baby face as she
studied the sweet pictured mamma,
still there vas a quicker in the fore
head that suggested unpleasantness.
As she looked from the profile on
the pasteboard to the one in flesh and
blood, she put her pithy query at the
original of the Photographic:
you wouldn't think that face could
spank me, would you, mother?"

A newsboy picked up a $40 bill in
front of one of the big hotels yester-
day. Another young artist Of the
brush that is black, but artistic, saw
the pickup and guessed 1t was money.
He made a loud plead for a division.
"Halvers, or I'll ~squeal," he yelled.
While Red was hesitating an elder
ly, benevolent-looking man stepped
out Of the hotel and gazed at the pave
ment in an inquiring manner
Red saw the man and guessed that
it was his money. He impulsively
ran to him and inquired:
odd you lose somethin', mister?"
"Why, yes, little man, l just dropped
a bill. Did you see it," he replied
with a winning smile.
"This it?" said the boy, extending
a grimy paw in which was gripped
the bill.
The other boy stood the picture of
alarmed establishment.
The old man took the bill and said:
THAT Is it, little man. l am glad to
have it, but it affords me greater
pleasure to know that there is such
an honest, bright boy in the lowly oc-
cupation which is your start in life.
I predict that you will be a great mar
some day. Honesty is the greatest Of
virtues. Thank you, my good boy"
Red stood very still until the old
man had entered the hotel. Then he
said things. The things he said show
ed the perfection Of his training in the
Sums. They were emphatic. but un-
printable, and the end of the long
sentence was "an' l fought I'd get
