my GOLDEN-HAIRED MAID"

By Wrn. K. Makakoa.
I have seen her at St. Louis Fair,
As she strolled the Pike snilingly,
She admired some songsters rare,
Playing the cute ukulele.
I saw her at soda fountains,
In restaurants, cafes, galore,
On boats, ferries, trains and mountains,
This charming maid of twenty-four.
l have seen her on the trolley,
She has passed me by mockingIy
This cold maid, so bewitchingly
OF twenty-four summers only.
Think thou I'd give her lemonade,
Let her my throbbing heart torment?
The love of golden-haired maid
Is the love of single moment

Kendall, waiting for car, wondered
somewhat anxiously if he should find
Miss Kinsolving at home. Everyone
appeared to be out enjoying the first
spring weather; the sidewalks were
thronged and bicycles and automo-
biles darted audaciously among Sc
dater vehicles. AS he boarded his car
Kendall glanced up Arapahoe street;
the spire of ST. Elizabeth pointed to
fawless azure, but creeping up behind
the Rockies he noted a rim of gray.
Three hours later he stood again by
the Mining Exchange; lights shone
bluely through whirling snowfakes.
disgruntled chaffeurs urged wheeling

grumbling, shivering men and women
hurried to catch outgoing cars.
Kendall, aglow with happiness.
braced himself against the storm as
young god might. He had found Miss
Kinsolving at home; he had found her
lin her prettiest gown and most charm
ing mood. When he plead, for the
lhundredth time perhaps, that she say
when she would marry him, she had
rot put him off, but had set an early
date. And now he was trying to de-
wise an excuse for calling again that
evening.
His car came, but he could not enter
till determined, storm buffeted wom-
an had superintendent the loading of
her wheel.
Kendall was fastidious-finical,h his
friends called him. A lady perched on
a bicycle or steering horseless car
riage through crowded streets offend
ed his sense of fitness. He recalled
the effort it had cost him to prevail
upon Miss Kinsolving to confine her
self to old-fashioned means of locomo-
ton and smiled contentedly.
That" he unused, was the begin
ming of my success; until then our en-
gagement even was a fimsy affair; if
1 had never proved myself the more
determined, Marion never would have
been ready to marry me-"
The thin man sitting opposite Ken

une and addressed his portly wife:
Here's a storyette by a local writer.

was a photograph. Kendall scarcely

Every big fire has some effect on
the invention of appliances which are
used in the saving of life at such
time, and the great loss of children's
lives in the IroquoiS disaster has
directed the attention of inventors to
the rescue of the little ones when they
are too overcome by fear to think for
themselves. For their protection from
fire in the home one clever mind has
just designed the accompanying es-
cape for children's nurseries.
An opening is made in the wall of,
the room, which connects directly with
the street. The outside and inside of
the opening are protected with shut
tiers, both opening away from the wall.
Into the space between these shutters
a collapsible canvas chute is packed
in much the same way as an accord
ion folds up, with one end securely
fastened to the wall by means of
chains.
When there is an alarm of fire all;
that has to be done is to open the
inside shutter inwards, give the outer
shutter and chute push, and the
whole thing falls to the ground dis
closing canvas passage, down which
it is easy to make a safe journey to
the ground. The nurse or some grown,
person should descend first to receive
the children, though their descent may
be regulated by themselves, if they re-
the chute, thus forming a brake.

tic mash notes, he sees to it, any
way, that he gets mash notes all right.
He times them so that they reach the
theater during rehearsal. The manager
every afternoon brings them to him
a half dozen pink and blue and cream
envelopes, smelling of violet and or
rfs. He takes them with a guffaw,
reads them, passes them around.
Every one pretends to be amused at
their silly contents, but the minute
the actors back is turned the murmur
passes back and forth: They're fakes.

Problem Presented No Difficulties to
This Woman.
A "woman's reason" with all its ira
ditional lack of logic, came out in an
amusing fashion at a recent dinner
party in Brooklyn.
In the course of the evening the con-
versation drifted around to those odd
little mathematical bits of the How
old-is-Ann variety, when one of the
company, with explanations that the
next problem would not be a very
difficult one, questioned as follows:
eff a bottle and a cork together cost
$1.10, and the bottle cost dollar more
than the cork, how much did the cork
COST"
Almost instantly one of the ladies
was. ready with the answer:
t'Why, the cork cost five cents and
the bottle $1.05- That's too easy"
The 1ady's husband, familiar through
years of experie1ce with her woeful
lack of skill in figures, looked up in
establishment.
Heavens" he exclaimed. "How did
you come to get that SO soon?"
''Why, my dear" was the reply,
"corks always cost five cents, don't
they?''-New York Times.

And He Did.

A story is told of high Indian Off
Ger who was in the habit of soundly
thrashing his servants when they dis
pleased him. One day he ordered his
khansamah to go to a summer-house
in the compound and wait for him
there, present turning up with a heavy
horsewhip. He then addressed the
offender:
Now, you scoundrel, I've got you
in a place where no one can hear, and
I'll just thrash you within an inch OF
your life
The servant, though a man of pow
erful physique, squirmed, native-like.
San, you sure no one can hear?"
Yes, you scoundrel, I've brought
you here on purpose.
Then, sab, 1 think I thrash you; u
and he did it SO thoroughly that his
master was not visible for week.

One Was Waverina.

Rt. Rev. Joseph H. Johnson, whose
fund of good stories seems never to
diminish, tells an anecdote about the
young hopeful of United States sena-
tor.
1t was on the occasion of the visit
of the religious census-taker that this
seven-year-old distinguished himself.
His parents were absent and the child
presented himself saying he was per
fectly competent to answer any ques
lions. When informed of the census
takers business, he answered thus:
"Well-my father is a Unitarian
my mother is a Episcopalian. 1 am q

Write Notes to Themselves.

factors are great hands to write
mash notes to themselves" said a
stage manager. 1.-THE leading young
men, you see-the heroes that marry
the beautiful girls-are supposed to
attract to the theater myriads of young
women. They draw big pay on this &C
count, their friends talk seriously of
the powerful. almost hypnotic inf1u-
ences that they exert on romantic fe-
males. This power is the stock in
trade of the actor who travels on his
beauty instead of on his art, and he
must always have tangible proof of
it. So If the young women don't come

HAIRY ANUS OF JAPAN.
Aboriginal Race Low in the Scale Of
Mankind.

Aooriginai Race LOW IN the scale Of
Mankind.
In the northern island of the Japan
csc group live the Ainu, the hairy abb
origines of Japan. The men are of
low stature, thick set, full-bearded,
with bushy black hair, muscular in
frame and limbs and with large hands
and feet. They have no alphabet, no
writings of any kind. Their dwellings
are made of poles covered over with
thick straw mats, with matched roofs,
the windows and doors being holes
covered with the same materials. The
earth beaten down hard forms the
floor. The fireplace with its pot-hooks
occupies the center; there being no
chimney, the interior walls become
thickly vanished with creosote, dense
1y packed with fakes of carbon or fes-
TONED with masses of SCOT The AiHu
dress consists OF an upper and a lower
garment, having tight sleeves and
reaching to the knees; they also wear
straw leggins and straw shoes. Their
hair, which is astonishingly thick, is
clipped short in front and falls in
masses down the back and sides of the
shoulders. The beard and mustaches
are allowed to grow to their full
length, sometimes reaching eighteen
inches. The women are of about the
same stature and build, and most OF
them are very ugly-looking. This
arises from the fact that they tattoo
a wide band of dirty blue around their
lips, tapering upward on each side
to point, and they also tattoo geo.
metrical figures on their hands and
forearms.

Fire ordinances are by no means
modern or even complicated, at least
in proportion to the new inventions
and causes, electric lights and other
elaborate and inflammable fixtures,
and to the various inventions and
methods of prevention. Nearly a hun
dred years ago there were ordinances
as numerous and as long for the pre-
vention and extinction of fires. In 1915
Detroit had an elaborate fire ordi-
nance. 1t ordered every householder
to provide pair of water buckets. and
wooden vessel holding twenty or
twenty-five gallons, with two loops
strongly attached thereto" which
were always to be kept full of water
In place where it could not be frozen
and to have a lever or pole of suffi-
cient weight and strength to sustain
said vessel. To each chimney of his
house he must attach a substantial
ladder, to be fastened to the roof, and
another ladder long enough to COM
munica-e with the first.
Every male person capable Of giving
assistance must, on an alarm of fire,
repair to the scene. carrying one or
more of such vessels, and obey the
orders of one of the trustees. Twelve
householders appointed by the board
of trustees were to provide themselves
each with ga good telling ak" and re-
pair to the place of the fire. Six others
were to be provided by the corpora
ton with three battering rams, to be
used at fires There were also twenty
four to be provided with fire hooks. -

Sanctuary for Homeless Cats.

To the Church of San Lorenzo, the
oldest in Florence, belongs a unique
distinction among Christian places of
worship, in that the cloisters attached
to it are an asylum for homeless cats.
A kitten left in early life without Wis
ible means of support may find in the
church and orphan asylum, while
many an old Thomas, weary of disas-
trous chances, moving accidents, and
hairbreadth escapes, has sought its
retirement as home for the aged,
where he might live out the residue OF
his nine lives in peace and quietude.
How the strange custom, now genera
lions old, originated is not known, but
it appears to have become fixed, for
the cats of San Lorenzo are hardly less
well known than the pigeons of st.

Life and Love,

Most men know love but s a part of life;
They hide 1t in some corner of the breast,
Even from themselves; and only when
they rest.
In the brief pause of that earthly strife
Wherewith our world might else be not SO
rife,
They draw it forth Gas one draws forth
To soothe some ardent, kiss-exacting
boy),
And hold it up to mother, child wife.
All, me! Why may not life and love be
one?
why walk we thus alone, when at our
side
Love- like visible god. might be our
guide?
How would the marts grow noble, and
the street,
Worn like a dungeon floor, with weary
feet.
Seem then a go1dea courtway of the sun.
