AN APRIL sERENADE.
My love is like the river,
The April river, sweet,
That saiuers in the mountain
And murmurs at your feet.
'Tis fullest in the spring time
With joys that overflow
When ,ride and cold estrangement
Ar, melted, like the snow.
My love Is like the blossom,
The April blossom, dear,
Betrayed by fragrant bushes,
Because the sun is near
Tis sweeter for the winter,
That wrought its long delay
And nursed its fire and yearning
For perfect bloom today.
Ny love is like the robin,
The April robin, love,
That tunes the bush and scatters
An arc of song above:
For now, in mating spring time,
It sings the sweet song,
Because of all the silence
That held it mute so long!

AMERICAN MOTHER
STARTLES FRENCH
Nurse Barred by Duchess de
Chau|nes.

Paris, Dec. 21.-Paris society, par
ticularly the American colony, is smil-
ing over little story going the
rounds about the Duchess de Chaulnes,
formerly Miss Theodore Shonts.
According to intimate friends of the
Duchess, she has brought into the life
of the French aristocracy American
ideas regarding a mothers duty to her
children, thereby causing vast aston
ishment.
1t is the custom here in high society
for hired nurses to take charge of a
baby Immediately after it's birth and
bring it up for the mother. But the
Independent American duchess has in
formed the titled relatives of her late
husband that she is in no need of a
nurse to give the young Due de Chaul-
mes nourishment; that she will attend
to that herself.
1t is said that the old Duchess
Dues, the head of the family, is
greatly shocked at such a procedure,
which in France is confined to the
peasantry or the bourgeoise. But the
young mother met all objections and
barely permits to be out of her sight.

Paris, Dec 21.-with all the tragic

M. Steinheil and Madame Jeppy, who
were strangled to death In their apart

It is the problem of all ages to make

In Plantagenet times than they ever

When burglary meant the total ruin
Of the man who kept his whole for

his bad meat burned to windward of

was forced to drink some Of it and the
rest was poured over his head; for
more serious offenses the criminal had
to walk along Cheapside bareheaded,

The result was that law and order
men became brutalized by the horrible
