TO A YOUNG hlADY.
Written While Sitting in the His.
torical Library.

Just as the night creeps slowly DER
the earth
And takes away unseen all Joy and
mirth
That born We're by The light of early
day,
Just so, my friend, thou tookst my
smiles away.
While there thou satst all lost in
solemn thought
In what some scholars somber mind
had wrought
Thou vert to me as Phoebus gliding
high,
A genial warmth--a better soul was
nigh.
My bosom glowed, enamoured was my
soul
Then, all at once, alas, changed was
the whole:
Thou wentst away and lefst me an
alone;
My smiles then fled and cold turned
I as stone.
Oscar Rademaker.
Madison, March, 1908.

The Editors Waste Basket.

The average newspaper man gener.
ally finds out all the naughty doings,
no matter how secretly they are
planned and kept. If the papers
should publish half of the stuff they
heal, there would be ten divorces
where there is now one. There would
be social ostracism Of many who low
shine in upperdom. There would be
shotgun matinees, lynohing bees,
hatchet parties, gore, Imprisonment,
desolation aud misery.
The editor learns neatly all the
hypocrisy OF life and it's a wonder he
believes In man, woman, witch or the
devil, In heaven or hell. Many people
continually find fault with newspa.
