INEVITABLE. BUT GLOOMY.

At Wednesdays meeting Of the Rapid Tran
cit Commission the discussion OF complaints
brought by Fourth-sve- property holders was
diversified by certain statements about pros
pective subway undertakings Mr.. Parsons. the
chief engineer. expressed the positive opinion

Ground had scarcely been broken for the oriSL

lief that its completion would demonstrate the
necessity OF building others. Il was rather
bold and disa gTeoable prediction. but Mr.. Par
sons's judgment has been indicated Indeed,
while the FIRST underground road Is stu unfn-

must lay ont new routes and sign new contracts
with as little delay as possible.
MP Parsons said On "wednesday that the nor

IN SABINE MEADOWS,

read Catullus, till the page scanned
Grew indistinct, and, hafaseep, dreamed
That you and lived long ago. We seemed
In Sabine meadows, walking hand in hand,
A boy and girl; with sun-browned faces famed
BY languid breezes when the salt wind streamed
From off the blue Tyrrhenian sea, that cleaned
Far westward. Surely. that Loves own land.
All. How you laughed to the clumsy bees
Shoulder their way among the chalices
OF purple thyme. And when kissed your hair
You off poutng yet came back again
It seemed so real: the sky the soft warm air
And yet-could have loved you better then?
