In the Tavern of the Tree,
Listen 10 the reyeiry!
Marx the merry minstrel there
Seated in his leafy chair.
AT his cups the whole day long,
Paying toll with sjlvery song.
Every draught he takes is drawn
From the cellars Of the Dawn:
Fragrant dew from fowery TASKS,
Amber air from the fairy casks.
Brought from Araby. and bright
With the Orierrt's golden light;
Spicery of buds and vines.
giavors his delicious wines:
ss ii strange mis- lyrics hold
So much OF the summers gold?
Rapture of the roses caught.
Into music deftly wrought;
Run and ripple OF the rilis
All translated in his trills:
Every sweet enchanted thing
In his gladness made TO sing.
All, my mocking bird. drink on

Till the paiA moon rising up
Drops the stars down IN your cup:
Then TO dreams once more. and then

walk, day or night, without the hkeli-

Chicago and Beauty.

The Physical Culture Society Of
Chicago has selected specimens Of
physical perfection and beauty to be
entered in the Madison Square Gar
den beauty show next month. The
report now in hand fails to state how
the measurements were obtained, but
seems to rely upon the exact science
of mathematics for the claim that the
persons selected are absolutely per-
feet, from a Western point of view
The Venus Of Chicago is described
as follows;
Neck, thirteen inches; chest, nor
, NAL, forty, chest contracted. thirty
eight and three-eighths; chest, ex-
panded, forty-one and one-half; bust,
forty-one: waist, twenty-seven; right
thigh, twenty-four4 and one-quarter;
hip, forty-one; right knee, fifteen
and one-quarter; left calf. fourteen
and three-Quarters; right ankle, eight
and one-half; right biceps, in repose.
fourteen; right elbow, ten and
one-quarter; right forearm, in repose,
eleven and one-quarter; wrist. six
and one-half; height, five feet five;
weight, $50 pounds.
II Is to be presumed that those
measurements are not only exact, but
that they demonstrate the lady e
beauty. We are unable to disprove
the proposition; but, in the language
of the stock yards, it should be evil
dent to all that she is in prime con-
dition and pretty thick.
Careful scrutiny Of these measure
ments fails to discover the length and
breadth of the lady's feet, and there
is no allegation as to whether she ha.
warts, corns, liver marks, or othe
means of personal Identification. This
is 10 be regretted. II is also al
omission that the lady's complexion
me color OF her hair and eyes, an,
the usual description Of the feature
Of the face are all omitted. Are w
to assume that she is to pose, not IL
what Trilby would call ''the alto
gether,"' but in the all without? D.
we understand that Chicago will pre-
sent its beauty specimens as it pre-
sents it's dressed meats-with tn
hide and hair removed?

De EMOCRATS WATCH
Ohio CAMP PA|GN
Pattison Discussed as q
Presidential Possibility.
FIELD CLEAR FOR NEW MAN
With Bryan Out of the Running o
New Moses Will Be Eagerly
Accepted. =

The result OF the Ohio campaign -
fraught with national interest TO DEM
ocratic politicians and leaders. Under
the cover OF local issues they expect
the party to win a victory which will
give courage 10 the leaders in every
state and produce a candidate in the
person of John NJ, Pattison for the
Presidential nomination.
The Democratic leaders here do not
deny that they are looking for can
6idate. William Jennings Bryan has
just refused the honor, and this leaves
the field clear for new man. While
they want a man who has no entangling
alliances with either of the large fac
tions in the party. they realize that they
must have some one who has achieved
some notable victory.
Pattison a Possibility.
II. Mr.. Pattison should happen to de-
feat Governor Herrick this fall he will
| measure up to these requirements His
Presidential boora will be launched on
the day that II is announced that he
has been elected governor OF Ohio-if
| such should occur.
The fact that the Ohio Democrats are
attempting to force local issues to the
kolc Will nave no erect upon Wn2c would
be claimed by the national leaders after
the election. Even a reduction in the
plurality in Ohio viii be hailed here as
an indication that the country is swing
ing back TO the Democracy.
Need New Moses.
The election of Pattison. IN Ohio, this
fall Will bring him into national proni-
nence. He Will be recognized as new
Moses The leaders in the East and
West will Immediately take him up and
begin the work of harmonizing the war
ring factions in the party. This has al
ready been decided upon and the only
| thing needed to complete the plans
OF these leaders is a Democratic victory
in Ohio this year.
| 1t IS said that the matter has been
presented TO some Of the wealthy East

that some funds may be raised TO as

stages OF the campaign. This may seem

seriously discussed IN Washington and

Matrimonial Bonds.

The bonds of matrimony, as gem
orally understood, are fgurative only;
they may be put aside for the sum-
mer vacation, but they cannot be
locked in the safe-deposit or used as
collateral for good commercial paper.
Some historians assert that formerly
these bonds bore coupons, but the
more recent securities seem to be
OF the non-interest bearing, or fiat
settlement, variety
However this may be, the COM
mon impression is that, at least in
Chicago, a matrimonial bond is a
very unstable and insecure invest
ment, liable not only to default in
interest but to an entire reputation.
Common impressions, general under
standings, and supposedly universal
rules, are all subject to exceptions.
and 1t is a pleasure to note that the
exception is reported from Chicago.
The Times yesterday printed the
instructive story of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hanny, Of Pekin, H., who arrived in
Chicago on their honeymoon trip,
not only bound together in the bonds
Of matrimony, but more firmly at
tached to each other by the warmth
Of true love and the cold steel OF a
pair of handouts.

Handwriting had been done by some
practical jokers, who slipped the
manacles on the loving pair Just as
the train pulled out Of their home
city, and while the porter was max
| ing up the berths for the night run
to Chicago. Parts of this statemen,
should be received with caution
however, as all the indications are
that, granting the handcuf1ng and
the perilous journey ahead of the
tender couple, practical jokers had
nothing to do with the matter.
The handcuffers were practica.
philosophers, who wished to impress.
upon the newly welded pair the true
significance and binding nature of the
obligations they had assumed. And
perhaps, In view of the frequency OF
railway accidents, the friends of Mrs
Hanny wished to be reasonably sure
that Mr. Hanny would not stray from
the side Of the timid creature Il
whom he was bound.
The situation of Mr. and Mrs. Han
