Never Had 1t.

short time since a number of anna
teur musicians in a town OF western
Pennsylvania made an effort to or
ganize an orchestra. They were sue
cessful in procuring all the perform
ers they desired except a clarinet
player. One of the number finally
volunteered to take up the instrument
and try to learn to play it. He had no
clarinet, but, hearing that he could
probably borrow one from a young
man in the place who was thought to
own one, he met him on the street one
day and accosted him with:
How are you, Brown? heard you
had a clarinet"
The fellow looked at him in amaze
ment and stammered out:
well, I-I-was sick about two
weeks ago. but I don't think had
that!"-Philadelphia Ledger.

The people DO not turn to gaze
When lie goes by;
He tolls denied the joy Of praise, ,'':
No banners fly
In token OF his worth; his name
The busy world has never learned:
If Death should come tonight to crouch
Relentlessly beside his couch
The world would roll on unconcernet1.
Yet, when his common task is done,
Beside his gate
There stands an eager little one
With arms that wait
To clasp themselves around his neck.
With pure lips that.await his kiss.
And though his work may never bring !.
Film fame or wealth. Whit greater thing
May any man achieve than this?

Dream and Despair.

If were only bolder.
To her then should swear
My dawn is her white shoulder,
My dusk her ebon hair;
My day. my night,
My whole delight,
My dream and my despair!
Such beauty seems to fold her
For ever fresh and fair,
Between the dawn, her shoulder,
And dusk that is her hair;
Her soft eyes are
Each one a star,
My dream and my despair!
So let my love be told her.
And let my faith declare
Dawn sparkles on her shoulder.
Dusk hovers in hSr nair,
And each lip shows
For me a rose
My dream and my despair!

The haze of the semi-tropics was
everywhere, blending the gorgeous
tints of hills and valleys in it's elusive
veil. There were tears in the Mexi-
cans eyes as he sang to his tinkling
guitar, and his notes were laden Iith
grief. He looked up from beneath his
sombrero, his black eyes showing the
clear white beneath.

the American miner looking down on

people aloof and made them speak
with restraint when he was near.

was loosened, and the contents of his
soul poured into listening ears. And
this was the tale he told: He loved
the Senorita Anita-a bewitching
damsel far above him-was dying of
love for her. Many times they had
met on the plaza, and she had glanced
shyly from beneath her mantilla and
smiled at him-yes, he could swear
she smiled. She was beautiful and
good as the Holy Mother. He had had
no glimpse Of her since, except from
behind the bars of her window. ne

The American turned away, while
his lips curled unpleasantly. Raphael
amused him. He was an exceptional
Spaniard. He had scraped together
kind of education for himself, and was
something Of a genius in. music. Un-
der more favorable conditions he
might have made a way for himself
in the world.
The cynicism faded from the Amer

and all was still. Suddenly, through
the darkness came a single sweet
note. The girl sat up to listen: She
pushed back her hair and listened
again. Her eyes shone, her cheeks
flushed and her little heart beat fast:
She stole to the window, holding her
mantilla close about her chin. Be-
meath the orange tree stood a man.
Her heart futtered faster, and the hot
southern passion shone in her eyes.
It was the rich Senior Americana.
