POEMS FROM THE :
MAY MAGAZINES
The Poet Moon.

How the palms tossed at Bordighera,
How the gray olives blew,
How vivid shone the Mediterranean
'Twixt shaken plumes of yewl
Then those dim miles of violets,
The depth, the hue,
The scents that flew,
The shell-pink villas. cypTess-closes
And walls that gushed with heavy roses.
AT twilight that fantastic rock,
A castle by the sea,
And the long flaming ribbon west.
A road to Memory.
ana the bright trembling crescent moon,
a poet-thing
That seemed to sing
Ihscrlbing with its fairy feather

Watching the Ships.

Ihese winged sea-birds outward slim
At twilight tide;
And wistfuI-eyed: r.
All, happy sails, For Won attain
Your bright Cathay,
The harbor OF my hope remain

A face loved is lost in mist
OF falling tears:
And where are lips with lauebter kfsSad

The ships dcpart-joy confident
OF ports to be;
Shall | await, in like content

Boston is getting the merry ha! ha!
because it has declined to entertain a
party of distinguished Filipinos who are
touring this country. Boston's long

of the Filipinos and circumstances
against the despotism of our govern

On the sunshine an the rain,
But the flowers are always blOomin'
An it's useless to complain.

The Soma of Arbutus.

When the robins springy note
(He tossing from his throat
Balls Of tune to bounce upon the air)
First cheers winters gray limbed trees,
Where they sapless stand at ease
gladly peep from out my leafy lair.
Are my bushes out of place?
The perfume on my face
Sweet from resting dewdrops earthward
bound
Mixed with tears of fallen bloom
Mid the fragrant woodland gloom
700 dainty for the sweetheart of the
ground?
J.. cup bearer to chaste Spring,
lShe daughter of Times king
Nurse: to bud and bloom from Mother
EARTH
Breathe my song Of freshening thanks,
From the moss and leaf-clad banks
AS loving call to hearts where soul has
birth.

was operated % years ago by a COM

buildings and machinery. The build
ings were removed some years ago,

Gently he came across n large bear. AS
was his custom. he had his rifle witt,
him. and as the monstrous animal
turned to look at the little fellow as
he approached, a bali was sent whiz-
zing through his brain which caused
him to drop in his tracks, but n single
shot being necessary to drop him. AL
though he has passed his 18th birth
day, this hunter would pass for a boy
several years younger, as he is very
slight and weighs about IS pounds
For several years past he has been
numbered among the successful hunt
ers during the hunting season, having
killed a number Of deer and other game
animals. AS he is obliged to go to the
woods alone when in search of the
cows he always takes a rifle with him
and was therefore prepared for action
when he saw the bear which he killed.
At the time he was about three miles
from his home and was near the Ma
chiassriver. After firing the successful
shot and finding the cows he returned
to his home where he secured the help
of his father. who returned with him
and helped to remove the bears skin

Miss Daisy Letter has brought back
from London story about Charles
Darwin.
Two English boys" said Miss Letter,
being friends of Darwin, thought one
day that they would play a joke on
him. They caught butterfly, a grass
hopper, a beetle and a centipede, and
out of these creatures they made a
strange, composite insect. They took
the centipede's body, the butterfy's
wings, the grasshopper's legs and the
beetles head, and they glued them to-
gether carefully. Then, with their new
bug in a box, they knocked at Darwin's
door.
I'VE caught this bug in a field they
said. Can you tell us what kind of a
bug it is. sir?'
Darwin looked at the bug and then
he looked at the boys. lie smiled slight
ly.
Did it hum when you caught ito he
asked.
Yes they answered, nudging one
another.
Then said Darwin, it is a hum
bug"
