IDEALS

Who rises in the morning with a song And faces each day with dauntless air, As if quite sure, in spite of grief and
 wrong,
 His life will yet be wondrous sweet and
 fair, May never see the consummation
 wrought,
 Ger which he dreams and smiles ten
 der smile, But even if he miss the guerdon sought, Self-sacrifice will make his quest worth
 while!

A MEMORY.

A MEMORY. Through days and days of trouble, Of heartache and of fear When skies were overloaded And gloom was everywhere, He walked with head uplifted And lips that seem to say, Though I may be defeated, I'll battle, any way And so he struggled bravely, And tried to do his part, Hope written on his forehead, A prayer in his heart, Until the shadows gathered More thickly than before And he was gently waited Beyond this mortal shore. He won no wreath of laurel, Nor fame and fortunes crown; For him no spacious mansion, No bruited renown. But, spite of all he suffered Along lifes thorny way, A strange, sweet joy dwelt with him Unto his dying day.

JOINS NINE. GOULD
Prince dc sagan Waiting at the
Dock-Tutor Says They
Will Wed.

Naples April Nine Anna Gould
arrived here this morning on tho
steamer Friedrich der Crosse and was
met In the harbor by Prince Heie Won
sagan, to whom she is reported engag-
ed to be married
Following her arrival wild rumor
4 was circulated that Count Bonl de Cas-
tellane, her divorced husband, had
reached Naples, and was about to chal-
lenge the prince TO a duel, but this
story was declared to be unfounded
and fantastic.
The steamer came into the harbor
at o'clock, and the prince was one
Of the first men to go aboard. He rush
ed TO Nine, Gould's cabin, met her at
the door, and kissed her hand, The
prince was much annoyed by the pres
ence Of reporters and refused to talk.
The tutor Of Nine. Goulds children,
however, was more accessible, and In
a brief interview said:
REST assured that the marriage will
occur; but nobody can say when or
where, and | am not in position to
ask My conviction rests on what
have seen and heard from Nine. Gould.
am sure II Is true love match, bas-
ed on reciprocal esteem
Prince Won Sagan was dressed In a
suit of gray tweed, brown waterproof
coat, and travelling cap. AS he hur-
ried over the deck toward Nine.
Gould's cabin he ran into a newspaper
man at practically every turn. He An
ally approached Capt. Blocker, the YES
sells commander, and begged him In
German to make the reporters keep
away. One man pointed a camera at
the prince, whereupon the latter said,
also, in German:
IF he does not stop will throw his
camera into the sea-"
After Nine. Gould and the prince had
been some time in conversation the
entire party, accompanied by the pro-
prietor of the Bertolini hotel, where
rooms had been engaged for both the
prince and Nine. Gould landed In a
special launch and took an automobile
from the dock to the hotel, to avoid
coming in contact with the curious
crowd. The princes apartment con-
ssts of four rooms. Nine. Gould and
her family occupy twelve rooms. Her
parlor was filled with flowers and here
she lunched with Won sagan.
Nine. Gould was attired in a blue
tailored-made gown with a short skirt,
and wore tan straw hat She was
quite pale, but smiling, and apparent
ly contented. After the prince greeted
her she took him to the salon reserved
for ladies'. They inadvertently left the
door open, and the reporters gathered
outside. The prince slammed the door
In their faces with unconceaed an
ger. The conversation within lasted
half an hour, after which Nine. Gould
took the prince to her cabin, where
he met the Collaboration he kissed
repeatedly, He also was introduced to
the detective who stood at the cabin
door keeping a sharp eye on the re-
portere.
The party then had a light breakfast
| and the prince apparently repented OF
| his rudeness toward the newspaper
men, for he allowed them to approach
and even permitted enc to take a pilot.
