l see your low-bowed head,
Your pensive face;
You do not look like one
In need of grace.
I vaguely wonder If
Your prayers include
The hapless ones by whom
You have been wooed.
There isyyoung Bradley, who
(Say those that know
Is trying to forget
In Mexico.
And really it was sad
About poor Brown;
He went TO Toxic
To live il down.
Because of you Reed flunked
A big career;
He wrote from Africa
Some time last year.
Carter adored you from
Your early teens;
He now is somewhere in
The Philippines.
And Gray, that college chap,
You toyed with him:
He went to Rome his face
Set hard and grim.
And II could not go,
And We are friends

To the earths ends.

The Governor is going away,
But that is nothing new;
In fact, we're hearing, ev'ry day,
Of rulers who go off to play
And the strange things they do.
There's Teddy, he is hunting deer,
And coyotes, and such;
And Kaiser Bill went to Tangier
To show the Frenchmen, it is clear,
That they can't beat the Dutch.
The Prince of Wales is going to sea.
To see the wild waves play:
And Nicholas, as you'll agree,
Would like most awful well to flee
To some place far away.
And SO, in sooth, it is not queer
That Carter, too, should roam;
And leave us all a-pining here,
10 shed, perhaps, thoughtful tear
If he does not come home.

On the day of a Chinese marriage
unlimited friends and neighbors, or
even perfect strangers, are allowed to
come in and see the bride and they
may make any remark about her, or
to her, they please, says the Boudoir-
Sometimes things horribly rude and
disgusting are said:
To try her temper a nan Will say,
Fetch your husband a cup OF tea!'
If she does So. all will say jeeringly:
What an obedient wife you are!"
II she sulks and does not do as she
is told they remark: THAT Is q
pretty vixen with which to begin mar
ried life. We cannot congratulate you
on that tartar" and other words tc
similar effect.
Then the poor thing is made to stant
on an inverted cup to show how small
are her feet.

AIDING THE MEMORY.
Mnemnnic systems Have Been In Use

From Time lmnlemOrial.
The art Of rendering artificial aid to

which are easy OF recollection Is saii TO
have. originated with the Egyptians.
The first person 10 reduce 1t to Il system
was. according to Cicero, the poet 81
monides. who lived $50 Il. G. His plan
Is known as the topical or locality
plan and was In substance as follows:
Choose II large house with a number OF
differently furnished apartments IN 1t.
Impress upon the mind carefully all
that Is noticeable In the house so that
the mind can readily 90 over the parts.
Then place Il series of ideas in the
house-the first In the hall, tie next IN
the sitting room, and 20 OF with the
rest. Now, when one wishes to recall
these ldeas in their proper succession.
commence going through the house. and
the idea placed In each depar ment will
be found TO readily rccur to the mind
In connection with 1t.
II IL related that this mnemonic plan
was fist suggested to the poet by a
tragic occurrence. Having been called
from u banquet just before the roof OF
the house fell and crushed all the rest
Of the company. he found on returning
that the bodies were SO mutilated that
no individual could be recognized, but
by remembering the places which they
had severally occupied ut the table he
was able to identify them. He was
thus led to notice that the order OF
places may by association suggest the
order Of things.

seATEN At HIS OWN GAME
Gambler Who Bet on sure Things

That Fails.

There was a sure-thing gambler
down in Mississippi named Gamble
good name. by the way. said John
Sharp Williams. according n the Re-
hoboth Sunday Herald. He never
made a bet unless he was sure he
would win. He was out at a country
fair. staying at a hotel One morning
a man who was in the sporting line
himself got up early and loosed out Of
the window He saw Gamble carefully
measuring with a tapeIfne the hitch
ing post in front OF the hotel he
knew something was up and when
Gamble went out to the fair he went
out and measured the hitching post
himself Then he took a sledge ham
mer and drove the post into the ground
an inch and a half.
-'rnat night. after supper. while
they we're all sitting onths hotel porch
Gamble craftily led the conversation
around to the difficulty Of judging din
t,nees and heights.
Now. be said. there's that hitch
ing post out yonder I'll bet a hundred
I can come nearer its height than any
body here
How high would YOU reckon IL isz'
said the sledgs-hammer artist, who
after a LOT Of conversation. had put up
the hundred with iamhie.
