THE WILLOW AT THE GATE.

II was Just an old brown cottage
At a farm beneath HILL
A winding lane curved round 1t.
Ovcr-arched by maple trees;
A barn there was, and orchard
| oft can see Ii still
A glinting in the sunlight
With it's blossoms and ii" bees.
And | can hear at eyentide
The mellow cowbells kllnk-
For the bue-eyed lass that drove them
How / used to long and wait!
The sweetest hour of oil the day
Was that used to think,
When ! leaned with little Nelly
Meath the Willow at the gate.
Tell me, is the Willow
Yet hanging DER the gate?
Do the dewdrops simmer on it
In the starlight when t is latef
I've strayed DER land and billow,
But I'm dreaming of 1t still-O
Tell me is the Willow
Still hanging DER the gate?
No summer star that shed its light
Upon her locks of gold
Shone with ray one-half so pure
As Nelly's faithful eyes.
No summer wind that listened
AS my loving vows | told
Had ever half the melody
That thrilled her low replies.
And ! would seek my fortune,
And she fOl me would wait
We parted with kiss of hope
# was envied us by Fate.
There s a little mound with daisies
Now upon the green hillside
And | found nobody waiting
Meath the Willow at the gate.
Tell me, is the Willow
Yet hanging DER the gate?
Do the dewdrops simmer on 1t
In the starlight when t is late?
And the daisies, and the yellow,
Yellow cowsllps there-but tell, o
Tell me is the Willow
Still hanging DER the gate?

sports" who like to gamble in race
track pool rooms have had an illustra-
ton of pool room methods in New York
which ought to make them realize the
truth of the saying that a sucker is
caught every minute" and VOW never to
be caught as suckers. The pool men
built a tower near Belmont park, from
which with powerful glasses they could
inform themselves as to the doings OF
the horses. and hurriedly telephone in
formation to headquarters in time to
make it count. The Pinkerton detectives
at the race track destroyed the tower
but the illustration of what some pool
room managers will DO to enhance Their
profits ought 20 be more effective as a
deterrent than the violent efforts Of the
race-track officials in the interest OF
honesty.

The memorial provided by public sub
scription to the late Patrick A. Collins,
mayor of Boston, will be located on Com
monwealth avenue. The committee in
their consideration of the form which
the memorial is to take have chosen
model representing a column of stone

bear on its top bronze bust of heroic
size of the late mayor. On two sides
of the column there are to be allegorical
figures, one of which will represent CO.

ures may be of stone, like the column
or of bronze. There will be at the base
a series of steps and seats, giving solidity
and handsome architectural character to
the memorial. The sculptors whom the
committee have chosen to undertake the
work of making this memorial are II. H.
