touch of hardness to the expression. In

lively engaged in teaching.
Nine Curie who Is now only 80 years

A BALLAD OF OLD SONGS.

Life is q song and love is sweet.
Sing me them to the old refrain,
Laughing lyrics with ripping feet,
PaUtering music like drops of rain.
Ragtime ruftleS our weary brain.
Oh, for the ballad of surge and sway,
Words that wave like field of grain
Where are the songs of yesterday?
Stately the 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 it 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 these we madly bleat,
Trying to voice our deep disdain
For the song and the dance described as
neat
In comic opera tangled skein.
Oh, for the time of poets reign!
These limping filters to drive away.
Is there nothing to lose and nothing to
gain?
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
Where are the songs of yesterday?

1t was the first time in his life that
he had been continually obedient to
anyone except his father.
Then came two or three days when
Mr.. Munroe couldn't sit still, but wan
dered aimlessly about the house and
scolded everyone that spoke to him.
The next morning little yellow letter
came to him. After he had read it he
locked himself into the library, and
Jacks aunt wouldn't let anyone go
near him all day.
The next morning he told Jack that
the menagerie had gotten away and
eaten up all his money. At least Jack
supposed it was a menagerie, as there
were bulls and bears in it. The great
house and its contents were sold, and
they went to Boston to live in a fat

Brown amid the novelty of his new
surroundings until one evening when
he found his father sitting disconso-
lately by his desk, holding her photo

wouldn't it be sport to have Miss
Brown here now, pap he inquired.
Did you love her, too, Jack?" his
father asked sadly.

was going to ask her to marry me and
be your mamma. But l can't now,
when everything we have is what l
can earn"
Jack pondered the situation over un-
til the next day. After his father had
gone to work he posted the following
letter to his former school teacher, hav-
ing labored long and valiantly in its
composition:
Dear Miss Brown.
PA wants to know if you will be
my mamma. He says he can't ask you
because he lost his money. l should
think it would be good time to ask
you, because you could earn some for
him. And I should think you would
be happy enough to be my mamma
and not have any money. Pa looks as
if he had the stomach ache all the
time. Your friend, JACK"
Some days later Jacks father came
home from the office and handed Jack
the letter he had written.
Did you write that, JACKIE"
Yes. Where did you get it?'

and when he came home the next week
he brought a lady with him that he
said was not Miss Brown, but Jack S

COLLEGE BOYS AND MONEY,

Something of the Cost of Getting
Through the Big Schools.
\ recent issue of the New York Her
aid devotes a page to the subject,
"Weath and Work in College Life"
in which some interesting statements
are made. 1t says, for instance, that
the class that was graduated at Yale
last spring numbered many young
milliOnaires and many others who will
inherit great wealth. This class in
four years spent 81, 104, 92O, an average
for each man of $4,316. By way Of
contrast, it mentions the fact that
some students in the class have gotten
along on as little as $3.50 a year. The
Wealthiest member Of the class was
Clifford Alexander Cochran, of Yon-
kers, n. Y. Another rich member was
Robert Rutherford Mccormick, son Of
Robert Mccormick, United States am
bassadOr to Russia, and a grandson of
Joseph Medill, who founded the Chi
cagO Tribune. Other rich members
were Franklin Farrell, Jr., of An
sonia, Conn.,, son of we'll known man
ufacturer; Stephen Carleton Clark, Of
Cooperstown, N. Y, whose mother re-
Gently married Bishop Henry c. Pot
ter; Henry Wilfred De Puy, a steel
and coal promoter.
The graduating class of Harvard
last spring was conspicuous in it's
lack Of wealthy students or members
Of wealthy families.
The great majority at Yale and Har-
ward are poor men, many of them
working their way through their col
lege courses. DR.. Kitchel, at the head
of the Yale Bureau Of Self Help, saws
that more than $4,000 is annually Civ
en- at Yale to students needing aid. A
part of the work of the bureau is to
assist students in getting work and
making themselves self-supportfng.
The cost of getting through Yale
University is stated as follows: Lowest
per annum, $3.50; general average.
$445; very liberal, $500. OF those
working their way through the courses
last year twenty-five were in the senior
class, twenty-four in the junior class,
thirty-two in the sophomore, and thir-
ty-one in the freshman class.

Jacks First Proposal
II T was Jacks doing. But as Jack

n T was Jacks doing. But as Jack
had been responsible for every I'M
usual thing that had happened in
the neighborhood ever since the day he
was born, u years before, no one ever
thought of giving him credit for it.
He began it by capturing a nestful Of
young adders and letting them loose in
school while the superintendent was
making tour Of inspection. Miss
Brown, the new teacher, sent a note
to the culprits father, asking him to
call at the schoolhouse after school
hours. Mr.. Munroe grumbled and
went, He stayed an hour, and when
he went away said that he would like
to call occasionally and talk over
Jacks welfare.
But Jack must have deteriorated
sadly, for it was only short time be-
fore his aunt, who kept house for them,
had to invite Miss Brown to dinner
once or twice a week. After it was
over Miss Brown and his father would
sit in the parlOr and talk about him
in tones so low that he couldn't hear
what they were saying. OF course,
they had to sit very close to each 9th
er to do this, and it was about this
time that Mr.. Munroe's eyes began to
trouble him so that he couldn't bear
to have the gas lighted. But even this
did not prove sufficient to insure his
sons wellbeing, and they began to
take long rides in the evening. They
both went around looking so happy
that Jack thought they must have Sc
lected some grand profession for him
driving the ash team, perhaps.
AS for Miss Brown, the boys said
she was good locker and a regular
brick. And you can depend upon the
Judgment of boy every time. Jack
had finally decided that she was to be
trusted and had consigned to her with
out reserve the direction Of his actions.
