himself of trade, at the conclusion

The Meeting Of the shIps.

Two banks met on the deep mid-sea-
When Gains had stilled the tide:
a few bright days OF summer glee
There found them side by side.
And voices OF the fair and brave
Rose mingling thence in mirth:
And sweetly hoated DER the wave
The melodies Of earth
Moonlight on that lone Indian main
Cloudless and lovely slept:
While dancing step and festive strain
Each deck in triumph swept.
And hands were linked. and answerin
eyes
With kindly meaning shone;
o, brief and passing sympathies,
Like leaves together blown!
A little while such Joy was cast
over the deep's repose.
TIL the loud singing winds at last
Like trumpet music rose.
And proudly. freely on their way
The parting vessels bore:
In calm or storm. BY rock or bay.
To meet-O. nevermore!
Never to blend In victory's cheer.
To aid In hours OF woe:
And thus bright spirits mingls harA

Never Slipped Piece Of Ice Inside the

Mrs Langtry has deemed it worth
while, even at this late day, to deny
the oft-told story that at a dinner
party a good many years ago she
sent piece of ice tobogganing down
the spinal column of the portly man
who is now king of England. This
is her way of explaining how the yarn
originated: She was a guest at an
informal dinner one evening with Mr..

Of Wales, now King Edward, was not
present Cornwallis-West was tired
and sleepy and wanted to go home,
but his wife was enjoying herself and
refused to so. Finally he became
rather angry about it, but she still
held out and when his back was
turned she slipped a piece of ice
inside his collar, saying: There. my
dear boy, that will cool you off for
a few minutes" Mrs. Langtry adds:
even my enemies must admit that
have good manners, and the idea that
l or any other person would take such
a liberty with the prince is simply

Need some help?"
Job Allison Strengthened himself
from his stopped position, leaned upon
his scythe and looked critically at his
interrogation.
What kin We do?"
The young man placed his hand
upon the top rail of the fence and
sprang lightly over, saying carelessly:
"Oh, almost anything"
Again the farmer scrutinlnzed him
from head to foot. His lip gave a
slightly dlsdainful curl as he said, sar.

he asked: Ready"

Then the young mans athletic training

Allison's paintings sounded in his ears
like the puffs of receding locomotive

Job had always prided himself on

the answer, yet there was that mys.

that checked further inquiry.
