A Modern knight.

You can't make me believe that
chivalry Is obsolete, or effete, or what
ever they call it." said a woman who
had just returned from the West. The
Washington Post tells her reasons for
thinking that knighthood is still in
flower.
II met a veritable knight just two
days ago on a dining car" she con-
tinued. when 1 went in to luncheon
the only seat left for me was one fac
ing the rear of the train. Now I
cannot sit with my back toward the
engine without suffering ell sorts Of
disagreeable things, so 1 asked the
steward to find me a seat facing the
other way. Immediately a middle
aged man rose and offered to let me
have his seat. ] thanked him. and he
took the seat opposite me. He scan
ned the bill Of fare. and then he look
ed at me h~esitatingly.
Madam said he, would 1t be OBJ
noxious to you If I were to order
spring onions?'
"Now, could consideration for the
feelings Of a woman go farther than
that?"

Locssmish Opens the Door.

A German locksmith in Harlem had
a call one night recently from a young
man who said that he'd lost his keys
and wanted to get into his house
quietly. The locksmith went with the
young man TO a house near by and sci
TO work on the lock.
There's no use Of my hanging
around" said the young man. I'm
going TO the orner for a drink. When
you get through, whistle"
The German stuck TO his task, and
in ten minutes he had the way clear
Then he whistled.
The young man came up. The lock
smith said he wanted 50 for his work
He was told to come around in the
morning. AS he knew some of the
occupants Of the house. he consented
The young man walked into the house
and the German went home.
Next morning he went around fol
his money. The house was full o,
cops. He stayed long enough to hear
that the house had been looted, and
then made tracks for his shop.--Nev:

me BABY.s n


A little skein of tangled floss they lie,
(You always said they should have
been a girl's.)
The tears will come-you cannot quite
tell why
They fall unheeded on that mass-his
curls.
Poor little silken skein, so dear to you,
""Twere better Short" the wiser faith
er said,
Hes getting older now'-Alas, how
true.
And yet you wonder where the years
nave fed.
"'Twere better Short" the while
your fond heart yearned
To keep them still, reluctant standing
by,
You saw your little angel, earthward
turned,
Yet all unknowing, lay his halo by.
Soft little threads! They held you with
such strength!
You knew the way each wanton ring
let fell,
You knew each shining tendril's golden
length,
How oft they've tangled, only you
can tell.
In dusky twilight shadows. oh, how Oft
You've seen their light along your
shoulder lie.
You leaned your cheek to touch the
masses soft,
The while you crooned some drowsy
lullaby.
How often when the sun was dawning
You bent above him in the early ray,
And from that glory round the baby head
You drew your light for all the weary
day.
And now-you start-the front door
gives a slam
The hall resounds with little, hurrying
feet,
He climbs upon your knee--the wee,
shorn lamb
And dries your tears with kisses, warm
and sweet,
You fold your sorrow from his happy
eyes
(You always said they should have
been a girls.)
Half of his Eden sunlight buried lies
Amid the meshes of those baby curls.
