The nrx Falls of Lodore.

Southey's description Of Lodore has
given to that charming friend of holia
day days a reputation which is a lit
tie unfortunate. It has brought to its
course worshipers from afar, when
there has not been cupful of water
to perform as much as the meanest Of
feats which the poet describes. One
such visitor was an American. He
had seen Niagara again and again. He
read Southey on the wonders of Lo-
dore and once more visited the vast
cataract of his native land. Then, feel
ing that, after all, Niagara must be
very small potatoes compared with the
falls of which the poet had sung, he
came to England in quest of Lodore,
resolved to consecrate his holiday to
the contemplation Of its beauties and
grandeur. He set out the moment he
reached Keswick and long walked and
toiled over rocks and powders. He
could not find the falls. He rested and
asked a native, Can you direct me to
the falls of Lodore?" 'Why, you're
a-settin' on 'em," was the heartbreak-
ing answer. The falls Of all the adj
jectives were dry!-St. James Gazette.

Ned Semple kissed her not once, but
half dozen times. He worshiped

of paradise on earth. He hated to
| give her up for Il whole six weeks, but
he could not get away from town him
self, and she needed the rest and
| change.
He waited until the train pulled out
of the station and went back to the
hot and stuffy office. 1t was no hard
ship to work when he worked for her,
and there were certain deals that could
not be neglected If these deals went
through they would both go to Europe
next year, and the occasional problem
of where the money for bills was to
be found would be solved.
| He remained at the Office later than
usual to make up for the time he had
| lost over their last lunch together. The
| occasional charwoman only made the
desolation of the huge office building
seem more pronounced. The elevators
stopped at 8, and 1t was after Q when
he descended interminable flights of
| steps, and the sense of depression grew

In the street the open cars whfzzed
