When AlphonSe Daudet brought out
"Suppho" an American publishing
house that issued religious books, not
knowing it's character. offered Nj. Dau-
det large sum for advance sheets Of
the work lie accepted the oaer, and
the advance sheets were sent. When
the publishers received them they de-
cided that they could not issue the
book. and they cabled to the author
=" 'Sappho' will not do" This dispatch
puzzled Daudet. He consulted with
numbers OF friends. and this WAS the
conclusion ut which they eventually
arrived: "Sappho' in French is spelled
with one ''p"-"Sapho" after the Greek
fashion. In English 1t is spelled with
two. An unusually acute friend point
ed this out to Daudet. which much re
lieved the novelist. and he cabied back
to the publishers. Spell it with two
p's." 1t is needless to state that the
publishers were more astonished at
Daudets reply than he had been ut
their cable dispatch.

A Nations STRENGTH.

What builds "a nations pillars high
And its foundations strong?
What makes 1t mighty to defy
The foes that round 1t thrcng?
1t is not gold. It's kingdoms grand
Go down In battles shock;
It's gates are laid on sinking sand.
Not on abiding rock.
Is II the sword? Ask the red dust
OF empires passed away.
The blood has turned their stones to
rust,
Their glory to decay.
And Is II pride? All. that bright crown
Has seemed to nations sweet!
But God has struck it's luster down
In ashes at his feet.
Not gold. but only man. can make
A people great and strong;
Men who for truth and honor's sake
Stand fast and suffer long.
Brave men, who work while others
sleep,
Who dare while others fly
They build a nations pillars deep
And lift them to the sky.

Election to the Most Exclusive Ones

Election to the exclusive clubs of

they must not only lie in the room. but
approach each member individually as
he comes up to the ballot box and ask
him for his support.

is then formally introduced by one of
his DroposerS to each member sepa-
rately who happens to be in the room
at the time. On the second occasion
he has ceased to be Il stranger and may
leave his hat in the hall. but he is still
expected to go round the room with

which time he is assumed to know all
his colleagues. though q foreigner who

People have danced for thousands Of
years and will probably continue to
do so for ages to come. This custom
Is Of ancient origin. The first people
to dance were the Curetes, who adopt
ed dancing as mark of rejoicing in
1913 B. c. In early times the Greeks
combined dancing with the drama. and
in % b. c. pantomimic dances were
introduced on the Roman stage. At
the discovery of America the American
Indians were holding their religious
martial and social dances.

The Old Clock on the Stair.

Somewhat back from the village street
Stands the old fashioned country seat.
Across its antique portico
Tall poplar trees their shadows throw.
And from it's station in the hall
An ancient timepiece says to all:
"Forever-never!
NeVer-forever!"
Halfway up the stairs it stands
And points and beckons with its hands
From its case of massive oak,
Like a monk. who under his cloak
Crosses himself and signs, alas
With sorrowful voice to all who pass:
"Forever-never!
Never-forever"
BY day its voice is low and light,
But in the silent dead of night
Distinct as a passing footsteps fall
1t echoes along the vacant hall,
Along the ceiling, along the floor,
And seems TO say at each chamber door:
"Forever-never!
Never-forover!"
Through days of sorrow and of mirth,
Through days of death and days of birth,
Through every swift vicissitude
OF changeful time unchanged it has stood,
And as it, like God. 1t all things saw.
1t calmly repeats those words of awe:
"Forever-never!
Never-forever!"
In that mansion used to be
Free hearted Hospitality.
His great fires up the chimney roared,
The stranger feasted at his board.
But, like the skeleton at the feast,
That warning timepece never ceased
"Forever-never!
Never-forever!"
There groups of merry children played.
There youths and maidenS dreaming
strayed.
precious hours! golden prime,
An afiluCnce Of love and time!
Even as a miser counts his gold,
Those hours the ancient timepiece told
"Forever-neveri
Never-forever!'
From that chamber, clothed in white,
The bride came forth on her wedding
night;
There in that silent room below
The dead Jay in his shroud of snow,
And in the hush that followed the prayer
Was heard the old clock on the stair:
"Forever-never!
Never-forever!
All are scattered now and fled.
Some are married. some are dead,
And when I ask, with throbs Of pain,
"Ah, when shall they all meet againT
AS in the days long since gone by.
The ancient tmepicce makes reply:
"Forevor-never!
Never-foreverr'
Never here, forever there
Where all parting, pain and care
And death and time shall disappear
Forever there, but never here!
The horolcgue of eternity
Sayeth this necessarily:
"Forever-never!
Never-foreverr'

Love wore Il suit Of holden gray
And toiled within the fields all day.
Love welded pick and carried pack
And bent to heavy loads the back.

The only wage love ever asked

A woman's smile by candlelight.
