As merry as king in his delight,
And merrier, too;
For kings bethink them what the state

Where shepherds. careless, carol by the
fire;

II country love such sweet desires gain,
What lady would not love a shepherd
swain?
He kisseth first, then sits as blthe to eat
His cream and curd as doth the king his
meat,
And blither. too
For kings have often fears when they sup,
Where shepherds dread no poison in their
cup;
All, then; ah then;
IL country love such sweet desires gain.
What lady would not love a shepherd
swain?
Upon his couch of straw he sleeps as
AS doth the king upon his beds Of down.
More sounder, too;
Bnr cares cause kings full oft their sleep
to spill.
Where weary shepherds lie and snort

Members Hope to Obtain the Advice and
Assistance of Craftsmen.

At the Arts and Crafts Conference. called by
Spencer Trask, president of the National Arts Club
for Thursday evening in the galleries of the club
in West 34th-st il is expected to obtain not only
the opinion of the arts and crafts workers of the
club. but the advice and assistance of craftsmen
in New-York ana other cities who realize what an
arts and crafts movement would accomplish and
the Importance Of having 1t started right lines
Regarding the movement, Frederick g. Lamb
secretary OF the committee new buildings, said
yesterday:
This Is the first effort made in New York
CITY to organize those interested in the arts and
crafts on large scale. 1t is the intention to
resLIlct tie work exhibited TO the work OF local
craftsmen only Work Will be obtained from all
over the United States
The committee has written for advice and sIg-
gestons 10 men like NJ II. Birge OF Buffalo and
Mr. Taylor. Of Cincinnati. and hopes to obtain
from them suggestions as to practical scheme by
~hlch the best craft work produced'in the United
states can be gathered for exhibition.
NO one realizes the extent to which the crafts
movement has developed in this country nor the
beauty OF the work produced. These charming
works OF art have been debarred from exhibItioT
tons OF painting and sculpture held throughout
the United States While in France the Sa ION has
admitted 5ewelry and fine pieces of craftwork
U4ls country, supposedly progressive, has NOT as
YET taken THIS step 10 encourage movement which
Will IN time influence the manufacturing infarast

pumped il into walls and bottles for distribution

her testimony was mistaken.

TO BE NATIONAL CLUB.
Democratic Club to Change Name
Roosevelt Report Harmless.

The Democratic Club built up as an exclusive
local organization by Richard Croker and his
friends while Mr.. Croker was leader Of Tam
many Hail. is to be named the National Demo-
cratic Club" The subcommittee of the special
committee appointed by President Fox last fall
to consider the Matchmaking of the club has
decided to report In favor Of the change Of name
and the committee at a special meeting on Mon
day night OF next week is expected to decide in
favor Of the change and so report to the club
as whole
The sentiment Of the majority of the members
has been ascertained. and the subcommittee
feels warranted in recommending the change OF
name There was no trouble last night with
reference TO praising President Roosevelt for his
stand concerning the regulation of railway rates.
One of the members of the subcommittee in
speaking of the committees report said:
There won't be any trouble over praise OF the
President. The stories in the papers last Satur-
day concerning the tenor of the report were
premature. The subcommittee thraShed into
shape a tentative report and sent ii to the mem
bers OF the special committee, with the distinct
understanding that it was tentative. There was
reference TO Mr.. Roosevelt in the report, 1t is
true, but it was there only tentatively, and it
was harmless at that 1t came about in this
way: A year and half ago Robert B. Roose-
Welt, an uncle of the President and esteemed
member OF this club, was at the CLUB one nlght,
and in speaking of the President said that he
was born Democrat and that II his father had
lived he would have grown up a Democrat
Whether Robert Roosevelt justified in say
ing that or not we do not know Probably he
not, the father of the President was
pretty good Republican. Anyway, member of
the subcommittee remembered the remark and
made the suggestion that the Presidents atti-
tude certain measures before Congress was
patriotic and Democratic, and made the further
suggestion that the President was born a Dem
ocrat When this was submitted to the mem
bers Of the committee it reused suspicion and
comment Tonight appointed Theodore w.
Myers. Thomas L. Feitner and John r. Dunlap
a subcommittee to prepare the formal report OF
the committee, and this will be turned in
week from tonight. There is no doubt whatever
that the name of the club will be changed to the
National Democratic Club" and its scope and
activities will be greatly widened 1t is believed
that New-York is the natural home for ma
tional Democratic club. and that is what this
club will be from this time forward.
