They were not yet clear of the door

cheering and shouts in English and
Spanish assailed their wondering ears.
The sounds seemed to come from the
sea, from some point very near to the
ship. loud hubbub arose among the
indians. Courtenay, clubbing his gun,
rushed past, with the dog at his heels.

They could follow his progress as he
raced toward the port side, and they
heard his amazed cry:

then appealed to the general sympathy
of mankind. Thus his last and only

To Age.
Welcome, old friend! These many years
Have we lived door by door;
The fates have laid aside their shears
Perhaps for some few more.
1 was indocile at an age
When better boys were taught,
But thou at length hast made me sage,
If I am sage at aught.
Little I know from other men,
Too little they from me,
But thou hast pointed well the pen
That writes these lines to thee.
Thanks for expelling fear and hope
One vile, the other vain;
Ones scourge, the others telescope
I shall not see again.
Rather what lies before my feet
My notice shall engage.
He who hath brav'd youths dizzy heat
breads not the frost of age.

The Lost Grafton.

ne LOST Ofatlons
Seated one day in my airship
I was weary and i'll at ease,
As my gas-bag drifted idly
Over the waving trees;
I knew not what was doing,
But I heaved out sand-bag then,
And 1t struck on a farmers shoulders
And he cussed nothing like amen.
His oaths came through the twilight
And punctured the evenings calm;
At handling deck-hand language
This Reuben could take the palm;
His words told Of pain and sorrow,
And desire to take my life;
All because of that innocent sand-bag
He was bent upon bloody strife.
I have tried, but I try all vainly,
To arouse those sounds divine,
But I always dump my sand-bags
On some milder fellows spine;
It may be some other balloonist
Will hear that talk again,
And will write it on flreproof paper,
With patent asbestos pen!

Sonnet.

sonnet.
A gentleness that grows of steady faith;
"A joy that sheds its sunshine every
where;
humble strength and readiness to
bear
Those burthens which strict duty ever
lay'th
Upon our hearts-Which unto sorrow
saith,
''Here is no soil for thee to strike thy
roots,
Here only grow those sweet and
precious fruits
Which ripen for the soul that well
obey'th.
A patience which the world can neither
give
Nor take away; a courage strong and
high,
That dares in simple usefulness to live,
And without one sad look behind to die
When that day comes; these tell me
that our love
Is building for itself home above.

The Cup of Life.
OF all the vintage in the world
One single cup Of wine,
One cup Of life, one cup Of death,
One destiny is mine.
I'd not give up that special cup
My fates have filled for me
For any other in all time
Or all eternity.
For in my time and in my place
No foot has stood before;
The Blue Beyond.
I had a rose-bush, and it died
Just at the opening Of the Spring;
I had a bird-it flew away
Before it had quite learned to sing.
They tell me, in the blue beyond
I'll find them waiting there for me
The rose-bush full of scarlet buds,
The bird, a-singing on a tree.

Love Beyond the Stars

When that I loved maiden
My heaven was in her eyes,
And when they bent above me
l knew no deeper skies;
But when her heart forsook me
My spirit broke its bars
For grief beyond the sunset
And love beyond the stars. -.
When that I loved maiden -
She seemed the world to me;
Now is my soul the universe,
My dream-the sky and seal
There bends no heaven above me,
No glory binds or bars
My grief beyond the sunset,
My love beyond the stars
When that loved maiden
1 worshipped where she trod;
But when she Glove my heart, the clef
Set free the imprisoned god:
Then was king Of the world;
My soul had burst its bars,
For grief beyond the sunset
And love beyond the stars

committee at the hearings, and the at
titude assumed by the manufacturers,
importers and exporters on the arti

pected TO forecast the attitude which
the committee will assume In fran
Ing the tariff bill to be presented to
the special session of congress which
President Taft will call after his In
