HER SPRUNG POEM

She sat before her polished desk
In soulful, rhyming mood
And wrote poem on the spring,
subject much pursued.
How blithe and balmy is the air!''
She scribbled as she sat.
II mark the plumage of the birds
That nestle on the hat.
"Oh, gentle spring, the meadows are
With Haunting daisies perked!
The stores are showing hosiery
So sweetly open worked!
1.-THE rose, the lilac and the pink
Are growing on the lawn
That sells at sixty cents per yard
hope it's not all gone.
''The fluffy blossoms on the trees
A witching pattern trace
1t makes me think that | must buy
Another lot of lace.
"The sprouting grass is tender green,
In natures olden wile''
She does not read the fashion page,
For green is not in style.
"All things combine to charm the hear
And make the senses glad;
Most every paper that l see
Contains a bargain ad.
1.-THE primrose by the rivers brim,
BY morning sunshine kissed
But forgot, have to go
And talk with my modistel"

the Black Prince walked toward the door in the far end of the hall that opened into the spacious court, where the war horses stood paving the earth. At the door tall youth pressed forward and caught him by the hand.
 Father cried the youth, ride not forth to the battle today Spare the blood of thy followers. Make not the widowed and the fatherless to cry out against thee. Fnther-n

 The youth threw his head back proudly and looked the Black Prince straight In the eye. Father" he said, "it Is not death nor fighting that fear. This thou knowest. It Is the cruel wrong of this needless murder and raplne; the bringing of death and woe where there was life and joy. This---''

 Then, dIsmounting, he took white leaf off the white stone, and, regardless of the jeers and laughter of the Black Prince and his knights, went to the stone eye and looked at the leaf through 1t. As he looked his face grew sad and great pity shone in bis eyes, but when he turned from looking his face and eyes were ablaze with indignation.
 Father, right gladly undertake thls ven ture" he cried. And shame on thee and all thy knights who have suffered the old and feeble to call yainly for succor Father I have thy permission; this venture is mine. Ride on; l remain"

A Cork And A Bottle.

Get an empty wine bottle and cork that is, say. two sizes too small for it, so that If put In In the ordinary way it will fall clear down Into the bottle.
 Lay the bottle on its side and put the cork just within It's mouth. Now ask the spec tators. one at time, to try to force the cork into the bottle by blowing on 1t.
 It will amuse you to see the confidence with which the first person sets about the little task. He will step up with an air that says, "why don't you ask me something hard?" Then he will stoop and blow his breath on the cork in a sharp spurt, expect ing, of course. to make 1t disappear imme- diately.
 But the obstinate cork, as If reversing the regular order of things, will come flying out of the bottle instead of disappearing In It.
 The second person will approach the task with confidence. too, thinking that the first didn't go about 1t in the right way exactly that he blew either too hard or too soft. But the cork Is still obstinate, and out 1t comes again instead of going in.
 So 1t will be with them all unless someone In the company knows the secret. and when you take little quil or tube out of your pocket and blow through 1t right against the center of the cork, thereby driving 1t in at once, there will be good laugh.
 But still they will nut understand, perhaps, why their blowing on 1t did not drive 1t ln The reason is that some of the air goes around the cork Into the bottle, which ha the effect of compresslng the air already 10 n "a Wn . in. ht1t the compression ceases almost instantly, and Is followed by an expansion, which forces the cork out.
