THE BALLAD OF THE POET.

oh. the world was gay in the month OF
May.
And the wind in the woods played a
harper's tune,
SO the poet constructed this ravishing lay
Of a man and "a maid and a melting
moon.
The sun-kissed mist was all amethyst,
And the maid was a rose of Hesperides;
He selected the mellowest words from his
list.
For he had a book full Of rhymes like
these:
"A soul-glance mute, and a lifting lutte,
In a bosky dell, with Philomel-
He felt he was writing a regular beaut,
A poem that was morally certain to sell.
With a moaning pine and Byzantine,
And lowing kline and Co!umbine,
And blood-red wine, incarnadine-

But the poets ideas got tied ia a knot.
And the rhymes came wrong and went
to the bad;
PThe whole thing sounded like Infamous
rot,
And the poet knew well he was going
mad.
For the lingering lights lay long DER The

And the mute, wild moon was made

O AN IDEAL I T
The Hexagonal Plan Suggested as ina
Best Suited For All Purposes.

More attention is being given to-day
to the systematic planning of cities,
with a view Of affording the most con-
venient means Of getting from one
point to another, and at the same time
Of gratifying a growing demand lot
artistic effect. In an article in the
Craftsman, Charles r. Lamb gives the
subject a thorough discussion, and
after reviewing a number of plans or
arriving at these ends, comes to the
following conclusions: Municipal art
must have for its foundation practl-
cability. Its very essence is dependent
upon the harmonious relations be-
tween this and beauty, and, therefore,
q city planned to be developed in ar
tistic and esthetic directions must be
based upon the most practical plan.
And what is such a plan? To the
writer's mind, all forms of rectilinear
plans must be discarded. The cutting
of these with d%iagonals is, after all.
but a makeshift. If not m oblong or
q square, what form would be the
basic one upon which to found the
city? After the fullest consideration
of all the possibilities that geometric
figures give, the writer is tempted to
suggest the scheme shown in the ac-
companying diagram, the hexagon.
This permits the development of the
city to the utmost that might be posi-
byo 1,;+b;r poopv daco1as hapousa with
the hexagon, the great advantage Of
the diagonal is secured, and, at the
same time, intervening spaces which
can be secured for Fairgrounds and
park areas, between the large central
areas, which, in turn, can be used

United States and Alaska, as shown

The salmon output of Alaska for 1903
is valued at $40, 900, 900, which exceeds
by more tEan $2,500,0O0 the amount
which Alaska cost us, and if we add
to the salmon the value Of the cod,
