The Soul AIoof.

Thou are mine, thou asst given thy word
Close, close IN my arms thou are cling
ing;
Alone for my ear thou art singing
A song which no stranger has heard;
But afar from me yet, like a bird,
Thy soul, I'm some region unstirred,
On it's mystical circuit IS winging.
Thou art mine, 1 ave made thee mine
own;
Henceforth we are mingled forever;
But In vain, all in vain, ! endeavor-
Tho round thee my garlands are thrown,
And thou yieldest thy lips and thy zone
To master the spell that alone
My hold on thy being car sever.
Thor art mine, thou hast come unto mel
But thy soul, when / strive to near it,
The inne most fold OF my spirit
Is az far IRON my grasp, is as free,
As the stars from the mountain tops be,
AS the pearl IN the depths OF the sea

1t and remarked that the coffee taste,
fine, but my sister did not tell me

"She kept the secret and kept givin,

CHILD ATE CUTICURA.

Spread Whole BOX of It on
Not the Least Injury Resulted
Thus Proven Pure and Sweet.
A New York friend Of Cuticura
writes:
MY three year old son and heir,
after being put to bed on a trip across
the Atlantic, investigated the stateroom
and located q box of graham crackers
and a box OF Cuticura Ointment. When
a search was made for the box, it was
found empty and the kid admitted
that he had eaten the contents Of the
entire box spread on the crackers. 1t
cured him of a bad cold and l don't
know what else"
No more conclusive evidence could
be offered that every ingredient of
Cuticura Ointment is absolutely pure,
sweet and harmless. IL it may be
safely eaten by a young child, o but
the most beneficial results can be ex-
pected to attend its application to even
the tenderest skin or youngest infant

FROM I1t-BltSs
In a seaside parish In the early part OF
the last century there lived a sporting
parson. The spot was a favorite landing
place for woodcock at the time OF their
annua immigration, and the parson used
to tell off a native to let him know as
o as the birds began To arrive.
One Sunday he was preaching TO his
congregation, and had just commenced the
second head OF his discourse when the
church door was cautiously opened and a
head appeared. followed by a beckoning
finger. The parson either did not see or
would not heed the intruder, so the latter
cav a loud cough.
The preacher stopped his preaching In
the middle of a sentence and excitedly
aid What is II. ohn?'
"Woodcock is coom!" replied John.
The parson hurriediy closed his sermon
case. Shut the doc and lock It," he cried
TO the clerk. Keep the people I'm church
till I've got my surplice off. Let's all have
a fair chance"

In the Desert.

In that forgotten land from which I came.
Life must la prospered in a World of
Streams,
For when | win in sleep a happy hour.
The sound of running water haunts my
dreams.
Awake, Grief dominates again my soul
And kills the echo of that jocund sound,
That murmuring thread-a ceaseless silver
Cow,
Dividing silence from a calm profound.
The arid land meets me on every side,
Lost is the memory OF Long Ago,
only remains a longing for the place
Where IN my dreams the running waters
flow.

At the Making Of Man.

From the Poem by Bliss Carman In tn,
April Atlantic.
The soft Aprilian ardors
That warm the waiting loan
Shall whisper in his pulses
To bid him overcome,
And he shall learn the wonder-cry
Beneath the azure dome.
And though all-dying nature
Should teach him to deplore,
The ruddy fires OF autumn
Shall lure him bat the more
TO pass from joy 10 stronger joy.
AS through an open door.
He shall have hope and honor,
Proud trust and courage stark,
To hold him to his purpose
Through n unlighted dark,
And love that sees the moons fun orb
In the first silver arc.
n he shall live by kindness
And the hearts gertrude,
Which moves without misgiving
In ways not understood,
Sure only of the vast event
The large and simple good.

Reason Uhy limitations We're

4 The apparent mystery of the presence OF
ninety imitation pearls in the 81, ,o0O neck
lace Of Mrs. William Astor which was
appraised with the rest OF her property,
was cleared yesterday by the statement Of
a pearl importer He said that it was not
unusual TO use imitation pearls in valuable
necklaces. It often being necessary in max
ing up one Of four or five strands because
OF the difficulty in matching the genuine
pearls as TO size and shape.
Il know Of many cases" said this dealer
where II was necessary to use imitation
pearls TO complete a string when it was
impossible 10 obtain the genuine Oriental
article OF the symmetry of the other stones
on the string. Diamonds are more easily
matched and il Is not necessary 10 use
substitutes for them
From the report OF the Tax Appraiser II
was learned yesterday that the men who
had appraised the interior furnishings Of
Mrs. Astor's house had placed very low
values on many of them. Norman H.
Price an employe OF a drygoods firm.
testified that the piano in the sitting room
was worth only SO, as it was dented and
scratched. The hangings in the drawing
room he valued at so. the ninety gilt chairs
in the ballroom At Sl35, or about 81 20 each.
The appraiser also said that the hall car
pet was worth only So that four paintings
after Boucher were simply the work of an
amateur and worth only s4o. He said the
low valuation on the furniture was because
IL was old and dilapidated.

Also Says That Foreign Women Are

Talking TO a club OF teachers and bust

Farrell. at the headquarters OF the New
York State Woman Suffrage Association.
No. sos Fifth avenue. yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. o. II. P. Belmont expressed the opin-
ton that the police showed marked disre-
Spect for the shirtwaist strikers. She used
the word brutal in describing their con
Guct. adding that having watched the police
on picket duty and in the night court she
knew that the presence OF some OF the
better dressed volunteers who are helping
the strikers made a great difference in
their treatment.
Abiding to the way the strikers told
their stories at the recent meeting at the
Colony Club, Mrs. Belmont declared they
showed they understood the situation and
were too clever TO be imposed on by the
fallacious arguments of their employers"
Mrs Belmont also said IN the course Of
her remarks that there was no occasion
for the self-congratulation in which Amer
lean women so frequently indulge
I'VE are always patting ourselves on the
back" she observed. but the women Of
other countries are FAR ahead of US"
