THE VILLAGE BELLE.
Chicago Record-HeraIdl

ANAACa5o IAttOiu-I1Eral0.t
with Due Apologies TO H. w. Ii
Under Merry Widow hat
village maiden stands:
The MAZDA stunning belle is she.
With soft and delicate hands.
And the smile that comes from those lips
OF hers
Is one that pleases man
Her teeth afe pearls, her eyes are stars.
Her face is free from tan
Her brow has naugh Of care nor toll:
She shirks Whenee r she can
And looks the whole world In the face
Though she owes her dry goods mani.
Week in. week out. from night to night
You can see the fellows go,
You can hear them speak their heavy
parts
With hearts that beat so, So
Like a sail that flaps in an ocean breeze
When the ship rocks 10 and fro.
And little brothers. as in their wont
Look in at the open door.
They love to see their sister frown.
And hear the fellows roar.
And oft they catch the sparks that fly
Biff. Baff. when the day is Ger.
Primping, Tuning. fussing,
Onward through life she goes,
Each morning finds her chewing gum,
Each evening sees some beaus;
Nothing attempted, nothing done,
To earn a nights repose
Thanks, thanks, to thee, my village belle
For the lesson thou hast taught:
Thus-sll of life Is not to pose.
Such lives oft come to naugh,
But those that count are lives of worth
With deeds of kindness fraught

MARK TWAIN ON MONEY.
New York SUM

Mark Twain, at a dinner in New
York, said that the recent financial
panic had been caused by the removal
from the coinage of the motto In
God We Trust"
Afterward, with a smile, he append
ed to that statement
"Of course. l am joking. The panic
was caused by a wrong idea of the use
and value of money. That is the cause
of all money troubles.
The spendthrift says that money
being round was made to roll. The
miser says that being fat. it was made
to stack up. Both are wrong.
Strangely wrong. too, in the ideas
about money are the veteran Austria
liam gold diggers. Those simple old
fellows, though worth perhaps a half
million or more, live in the simple dug
outs and shanties of their lean early
days. They have no conception of the
value for their money they could get
in the way of motor cars, diamonds
and opera boxes. Their conception of
luxury is a trip to town, a silk dress
for the wife and maybe a whisky
spree
Once lecturing, 1 landed at an
Australian port. There was no porter
in sight to carry my luggage. Seeing
a rOugh-looking old fellow leaning
against the post with his hands in his
pockets, / beckoned to him and said
"a See here, if you'll carry these bags
up to the hotel I'll give you half a
crown
The man scOwled at me. He took
three or four gold sovereigns from his
pocket, threw them into the sea,
scowled at me again. and walked away
without a word.

THE APPEAL TO FORAKER.

All of a sudden the Taft aggregation
has discovered that it needs the help
of Joseph Benson Foraker. senator
from Ohio, to carry the presidential
candidates own state, and the senator
who was supposed to be down and out
looms up as the most potent force in a
critical campaign. The convention at
Chicago had scarcely adjourned when
administration papers began to explain
that the Brownsville affair was en-
tirely of ROosevelt's making; that the
gross injustice done negro veterans
was solely chargeable TO the president.
The Inference was plain that Taft had
no part in the affair. though no ex-
PLANTATION was offered of the fact that
he signed and issued the order ror rne
wholesale discharge of the soldiers and
afterward defended the presidents ac-
ton.
Now the candidates friends are wav-
ing an olive branch as big as a lateen
stead of the threats and abuse which
the administration crowd showered on
him less than six months ago, they
speak in hOpeyed phrase and appeal TO
him with a Macedonian cry as insist
ent as a siren whistle in a fog and as
plaintive as a goats bleat in distress.
Burton, who was promised Foraker
seat in the senate as a reward of merit
is relegated 10 the background and Jo-
seph Benson Foraker is assured the I'M
dying friendship and loyal support of
his dearest enemies.
Talk about party i'm retreat! To the
impartial observer it looks a. though
the retreat had pretty nearly become
a rout before the fight has opened at
all. Nothing but the direct need would
compel the Taft contingent TO seek a
reconciliation with Foraker. If it were
not certain Ohio would be lost without
his help, Roosevelt and the Tafts and
all their followers would enjoy scalping
Foraker and dancing on his political
grave; as it is, they are waving the
signal of distress and offering him his
own terms of peace.
Fortunately for them, they are deal
ing with a man whose party obligations
mean more than his personal feelings.
1t goes without saying that he will
take the stump for Taft and do his
best to carry the state. At the same
time it must give him great satisfac-
ton to know that the clique (which
meant to defeat him has found his
popularity too strong for them. He is
one of the few men in the senate brave
enough to defy the president and pre-
serve his own self-respect; and by that
same token he has shown how empty a
thing Roosevelt's threat of punishment
was

BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

(He was friend 10 man, and lived I'm
a house by the side of the oad.-Homer)
There are hermit souls that live with
drawn
In the peace OF their self-content;
There are souls, like stars, that dwell
In a fellowless armament:
There are pioneer souls that blaze their
paths
Where the highways never ran;
But let me live by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.
Let me live in home by the side of the
road,
Where the race of men go by
The men who are good and men who are
bad
AS good and as bad as /.
1 would not sit in the scorner's seat,
Or hurl the cynic's ban;
Let me live in a house by the side of the
road,
And be friend to man.
I see from my house by the side of the
road,
BY the side of the highday Of life.
The men who press with the ardor of
The men who are faint with strife.
But I turn not away from their smiles
nor their tears
Both are parts OF an infinite plan;
road
And be a friend to man.
1 know there are brook gladdened mead
OWs ahead,
And mountains Of wearisome light:
That the road passes on through the long
afternoon,
And stretches away to night.
But still I rejoice when the travellers re
joice,
And weep with the strangers that moan,
Nor live in my house by the side of the
road
Like a man who dwells alone.
Let me live in my house by the side OF the
road
Where the race of men go by
They are good. they are bad, they are
weak. they are strong,
Wise, foOlish-sO am I.
Then why should l sit in the scorners
seat
Or hurt the cynics ban?
Let me live in my house by the side OF the
road
And be a friend 10 man.

MARY's MENAGERIE.

New York World)
Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white as snow,
IL used TO butt in everywhere
That Mary used TO go.
But Mary fleeced that lamb one DAY
And shopping went down town,
And bought herself the new sheath skirt
The split DirectOire gown
Yet Sleeps eyes are still cast at her,
And rude men jeer and gloat:
Though Mary has the lamb no more
She's got everybody's goat
For the sheath skirt is the latest cut
It's almost cut in half;
Who cares a damb
For Mary's lamb.
When we see Mary's calf?

Removing the 'purlieus" from the
heart of the city looks all right at first
blush, but there are quite a number of
obstacles in the way. Some years ago
an agitation of the same sort broke
out in Butte, and the west side, where
the real nice people live. enthusiastic
ally endorsed the project. The people
in the other ends of the town, in one
of which the tenderloin was likely to
be located if the scheme went through,
finally put their heads together and
proposed a vote on the question, which
meant an increase in undesirable popu-
lation for the west side. The way in
which the excitement died out and the
matter was dropped was astonishing,
even to the agitators themselves.
