The Lesson of April.

She was a maid and I was man,
And, in "a springtime long ago,
When April had entered as April can,
In a CLINT Of green and a rosy glow,
Under the changing skies we strolled.
Sunshine and RAIN above us played,
And the old, old tale was the one l
told,
Since 1 was a man and she maid.
Many and many a year has gone
And April Is smiling in tears again;
am facing her tickle self, alone
And proving her Establishments worse
than Vain;
Much shine and shower have served
TO let
My heart grow wise and my passion
cool;
At length. 1 am even past regret
That she was "a woman and l fool!
Mamie Byrd Turner, i'm April

Harvard win Give Bill Reid $500
A Year For Football.

A Year For Football.
Bill Reid, Harvards famous old ath-
lete, will coach the crimson football
team next fall, says a Cambridge
(Mass) special dispatch to the New
York Times He will receive a salary
Of $500, part Of which will be paid
by the athletic committee and the rest
by wealthy graduates who are interest
ed in Harvards athletics.
The proposition to engage Reid, ac-
cording to a statement given out by
Professor Coolidge, chairman Of the
athletic committee, was made at a meet
ing Of the committee on Feb. II, and
the day previous to that the committee
was unwilling to pay a football coach
a larger salary than that Of a full
fiedged professor
Reid will come to Cambridge probably
within a month. Although his contract
provides for only one year of service.
it is so framed that he can extend 1t
Cor three years, thus making his policy
permanent.
Reid played fullback on the 1898
team, which defeated Yale at New
Haven. as well as on the teams Of 1890
and 1900 He was captain Of the base
ball team in 1900 and 1901 and was
head coach Of the university team in
the fall of 1901. when Harvard last de-
feated Yale He is. at present a sub
