WITH THE POETS
A Woman's Way.

I've done my share OF saying things
about Il woman's way;
I've had my JOY at her expense, with
none to say me nay;
I've taken little filings at things that
mark our sisters fair,
The tiny mouse that gives them wings
and plants them OH chair.
Concerning curiosity, I've made some
jokelcts fine,
Although really knew that theirs
could scarcely equal mine;
But I've been sick day or two, just
sort OF jumped the track,
And all my t1ings at "woman's way"
| want to take them back.
I've been quite sick. A demon came
and gave my back a wrench,
Then drove nail to show the spot
and all my pain to clcnch.
And, being just common man, with
liver all awry,
OF course, it's needless, quite, to say
l knew that l should die,
For it is ever thus with man. writhed
and moaned in vain,
Until little tender hand reached out
to soothe my pain.
In woman's way. her blessed way
I've scoffed at her. alack!
And had my Jest at "womans way
Il want to take it back.
There's not a one who knows a path
but woman's way is there.
There's not one who care doth
know, but she her hall would bear,
There's not a one who walks a path
where grief and anguish bide,
But some brave woman still is there
all faithful, at his side,
And when pain writes his horrid
screed OH features pinched and
gray,
A woman's hand shall comfort bring
God bless that hand l say,
Oh, have been witty chap, witty
fool, alack!
And cracked my joke at ''woman's
way"-I want to take it back.
l want to take it back so loud that
all may hear my call,
For every best that in me lies, a
woman's in it all.
Sister and daughter, mother, wife-at
these I've had my fling.
But what l dream of-good and God
they've taught me everything.
Their gentle hands have sootlcd mc
oft, their words have chccrcd my
soul
The truth to me was half revealed; l
think they saw the whole.
Perhaps tomorrow l may jest at
woman's curious track,
And have my laugh at her expense
but howl take it back.

Erin's Lovely Isle.

Yes, the grass is soft, alanna,~
That grows on Irish hills,
And there's music in the murmur
OF little Irish rills.
And JOY in every co1leen's song
And virtue in their smile.
AS they wander down the borcens
IN Ern's lovely isle.
Sure there's nothing in the city
Only sin, and crime. and woe,
And my heart is filled will, sorrow
When l see the collecns go
From the green hills of old ireland,
Where the hearts are free from
guile,
To cities DER the ocean.
Far from Erin's lovely isle.
There their eyes soon lose their
brightness
And their checks the rosy hue
Their smiles soon lose their sweetness,
And their hearts their lightncss too;
And they'll miss the kindly greeting,
And CHEEKY word and smile.
Of the neiglbors whom they've parted
In Erin's lovely isle.
And they'll miss the lark's loud sing
ing.
Der fields OF waving corn.
And miss the sweet bells ringing
On each holy Sunday morn;
And miss the groups that wander
Over hill, and road, and stile,
TO Mass on Sunday morning,
In Erin's lovely isle.
"Tis no wonder you are tired
OF the city and its strife;
Sure tits crushing all the brightness
Out of your cxilcd life.
tbs no wonder you are longing
For the cabin near the stilc,
Where you've played in happy child
In Erin's lovely isle.
There's something in the breezcs
That blow across Our hills,
There's something in the murmur
OF our little Irish rills;
There's something in the larks loud
song,
And in each rustic stilc,
That binds the lonely cxilc's heart
TO Erin's lovely isle.
Then, come home, come home, alanna,
The cuckoo's calling you,
She is longing just to see you-
And sure I'm longing too.
We shall wait for you, alanna,
Down the borccn near the stilc,
And bid you ccad mile failtc
To Erin's lovely isle.

much embarrassed, and said he had wired
that other arrangements had been made.

piled, THAT I've not called at the club;
consequently did not get your message.
What was the trouble-ny terms?"
1--WE have engaged a different enter
tainer," he replied evasively.
But you see," l said with my heart
in my mouth, which had need of some
thing more edible, "your telegram this
morning told me to come, SO my evening
is lost AS 1 am here, suppose go up
and do what 1 can As to my fee-oh,
I'm quite willing to leave that to his
1ordship."
Just then l heard his 1ordship's voice
saying: Come in, Mr. Wilder" He
seemed to have grasped the situation,
and with the tact and courtesy which never
is lacking in Englishmen, quickly made
me feel entirely at ease. He also offered
me refreshments and as l had not dined
gladly accepted. That | might not be
alone at table, he kindly waited with me.
I told him many stories, hoping that he
would not notice my appetite; but l
noticed it myself so persistently that l
felt that his every glance said distinctly:
"You poor little fellow, how hungry
you are!"
But l persisted I was conscious of
a need to be well fortified, for l had heard
all sorts of stories about entertaining at
social functions in England: stories of
arrays of old women in low-necked gowns
displaying more bones than beauty, of a
subdued patter of gloved hands in place
of real applause, of 1.-THE stony British
stare which really never is encountered
in society-so l felt like soldier about
to face fearful odds. l was so wrought
up by my fears that when I did appear
it seemed to me as if there was not in
that great drawingroom a single SYM
pathetic face at which I might play
all appeared to wear an expression which
said: Nov, make us laugh if you cam!
began to feel as if was looking into
the rear end of an ice-wagon; but sud-
denly my eye found a mans face which
filled me with courage face full of
kindness, humor and sympathy. 1t
seemed to say: My poor boy, you're in
hard luck and I'm going to give you all
the help I can. If there's an excuse for
laugh, you're going to get it,
My heart swelled and went out to him.
Although l had much to think of at the
moment, business being business, and |
about to put my wedge into it for the
first time in an English drawing room,
mentally vowed that if ever l met that
man again he should know what tower
of strength he had been to me. I"spread
myself, laid myself out, - and was told
afterward that I had succeeded. My
own viewpoint of success was reached
next morning, when received his lord

.VXIHEN I first visited London l car
w ried large hopes and small
purse, and the latter became so much
smaller in the course of time that I had
to live on next to nothing-to be exact,
1 restricted myself to fifty cents day.
For seventy-ive cents a week l had a
little room on Tottenham Court Road-a
narrow minded room indeed, with fur
nishings to match. Cold, damp weather
was the only guest or companion | had,
and the rooms carpet served two pur-
poses: it covered the floor by day and
the bed at night. From the tiny win
dow there was long vista of chimney
pots, which, next to an array of ready
made collins, offered as disquieting a
spectacle as a home-sick boy could gaze
upon. The boy Chatterton came to my
mind many times in those days, and al
though 1 hoped his fate would not be
mine, nevertheless learned at times how
annoying hunger might be.
One treasure did much to sustain me-:
it was card, given to me by an American
friend before left home, introducing me
to the Savage Club, which is similar to
the Lotos Club of New-York. | had the
freedom of the Savage at all times, and
was permitted to have my letters adj
dressed there-a privilege which literally
saved my face" for l never should have
dared to pose as an entertainer if my
address had been Tottenham Court Road.
l had good clothes, and kept a stiff upper
lip so no member of the club knew of my
financial straits was careful to refrain
from forcing myself upon any of the club
members who had been SO kind as to
notice me, yet dinner invitations from
some of these good fellows were all that
saved my slender bank-balance from ex-
tinction.
Despite my own economy and the hos
pitality of others, there came day when
Melancho1y-with a large M-threatened
to mark me for her own; for my sole
assets, excepting my clothing, were six
dollars and my return ticket. The latter
could not convert into cash without
burning my bridge behind me, and the
Atlantic is too wide for return trip by
raft. Just as this crisis had made me
as miserable as any man could be, re-
ceived the following despatch from club
member who probably had been present
at some of the volunteer entertainments
l had given at the Savage:
What are your terms? Come to-
night. No. S, Princess Gate"
l quickly wired back: will come.
Terms ten guineas."
For the remainder of the day stayed
away from the club, and tormented my
self with fears that I had named too
high price, though I always had believed
that there was wisdom in Emerson's adj
vice: Hitch your wagon to star"

BRAZZA.

The name of Count Savorgnan de BraHza
passes gloriously from news into history. Fef-
h8ps it might be said that its place IN history
was long ago assured, as certainly 1t Shoulu
have been Also his name is securely placed
upon the map of the world. He was for years
the theme of much controversy, and was SUB
jected TO much criticism ridicule ana denun-
ciation almost comparable with that winch
was bestowed upon his great contemporary and
rival, Stanley. 1t would be pleasant TO forget
that each of these men assumed an invidious
tone toward the other, as though the DARK
Continent were not large enough for them both!
Happily, they both outlived caumny, and each
won honorable recognition from the land to
which the other belonged. To-day, we trust
there is no partisan of one so implacable as to
object to the coupling of the others name with
that Of his own hero
Brazza's explorations of Africa were not
of course comparable with those of Stanley
in extent and Importance, though they were
by no means inconsiderable in either respect
His chief work, however, was diplomatic and
administrative in character, and as such 1t mas
not often been surpassed in Africa. He secured
for France a large and valuable territory IN the
Congo Valley, and he did a magnificent work
there for civilization The French government
has often been peculiarly successful in dealing
with uncivilized tribes and in establishing
friendly colonies among them, but never, per
haps more so than in what is known as the
French Congo, under the direction of Brazza.
Much more has been heard about the Belgian
Congo State and about German Damaraland,
but vast deal that has been heard about them
has been scandaIously discreditable. Even II,
as some insist, those evil tales are largely I'M
true the fact remains that the French Congo
has to far greater extent escaped even cal
umny and the suspicion of evil
1t has not escaped altogether, and it seems
to have deserved some Of the shocking accusar
tons that have been made against It, but at
least it has made most strenuous and effective
haste to rid itself of evil and to punish evil
doors 1t is not the least Of Brazza's titles to
distinction and to grateful remembrance that
he gave his last efforts TO the investigation Of
charges Of cruelty of French officers to natives,
and that he did his work so well as promptly
to bring the guilty men TO justice. 1t was in
that work that he lost his health and his life.
He was martyr to humanity and civilization.
His name will be held in honor, and his exam
pie should hasten the removal of even the sus-
picion of inhumanity from the administrat tons
of all other European colonies in the Dark
Continent.
