A BOYS CALENDAR.

u. ". Foley in the Saturday Evening
POst)
Down on their knees in the schoolyard,
marking a ring in the ground,
Posing the prizes Of battle each on its
little earth mound,
Breathing, for luck, on the shooter, play
ing by time-hOnored laws,
Silently cycling the classics and moving
backward to taws;
Slick ies and cloudies and agates, all in
gorgeous array
Shooters all nicked up with half-moOns-
April, and soon will be May
Bringing up mud from the bottom, hold
ing one arm up with pride,
Floating and diving way under, coming
up on the far side;
Clothes on the bank quite forgotten,
springboard all slippery and wet,
Cries from the door of the kitchen-com-
ingi-right soon, but not yet.
Trousers and waists wet and muddy
home and the woodpile so high,
Silencey-and suspense-and supper-June
and along to July.
Games of the Terrors and Tigers; blue
shirts, white pants and red socks,
Hearts almost stilled in their beating
ewes on the man in the box;
Swish of the swift-Wielded willow, thuo
Of the ball in the mitt,
Cries from the bleachers, "Oh, Reddy
Bring in that run with hit!'
Crack When the bat meets the baseDali
swells such a turbulent cheer,
Reddv's the hero of SandlOts-mtdsumme
August quite near.
MT stains and berry-brOwn fingers
freckIe and stone bruise and TAM
Myi How the time has flown from us
since the vacation began
oh. but the summer was splendid! Oh
but the June-time was glad!
Wish it could be that way always-whai
a vacation we had!

whistle nor birdcall nor cheer
Comes melancholy September, sorrowtu

A WoMAN,s QUESTION.

Crank Hill Phillips in Puck.)
Before I trust my fate to thee.
Or place my hand in thine;
Before you get your OvercOat
Or help me on with mine;
Before I peril ali for thee.
Question your soul tonight for me.
Look deeper still within thy soul,
And let me learn my fate;
Am I all buttonad down the back
And is my hat on straight?
Let no false pity spare the blow,
But in true mercy tell me so.
Gaze on my face and answer true,
Before we start to go;
Canst thou detect the rOsaline
And does the talcum show?
If so, at any pain or cost
Oh, tell me now ere all is lost,
Before we stir g single step,
Stand back and let me know:
Does my black skirt touch on the side
And does the white skirt show2

The Sayings Of Mrs. Solomon
BY MAUD MARIE
(Being the Confessions of the Seven Hu

 Go to the North Pole, oh my daughter 1! Consider it's ways and be wise; which have nothing to it, yet hreth men, because it is un- attainable.
 To! why is the pole so attractive! l say unto thee, because it is cold and immovable, even as stupid woman. It doth not seek after men, but leaveth men to seek after it.
 It is strangely mysterious. It doth not talk about itself It exciteth curiosity.
 Then come not unto me crying, "Why doth man always prefer lump of protoplasm unto a bundle of nerves! Yea why doth he always select dummy for wifes Verify, verify, even as he preferreth an iceberg unto volcano! For dummy, having nothing to say, doth not give herself away! Yet he that chaseth after the pole even as he that pursueth woman, knoweth not why he doth it. Behold one man hath risked his life for the pole !-yea, two men have quarreled over it, and this would make any woman pop ularl
 To there IS more to be found in one corner of Coney Island than in all of the polar regions, yet what man goeth unto Coney Island to make explorations9 For Coney Island is within easy reach. even as damsel that can be firted with at sight
 Go to! Who seeketh after the South Pole. I say unto thee, not one of them. For the South Pole is like unto wall flower. Until one man hath made fool of himself over her none others shall observe her existence.
 Verify, verify every man is an explorer And that which he cannot find out shall he continue to find interesting. Then be as the Sphinx, which teleth nothing, exciting men s imaginations. Behold. the more a woman giveth out the fewer men shall she take in {! Selah!

Trade With Latin America.


 | South American countries need more capital. 1 They need 1t for banks in cities, for building and extending railways, for street car lines, electric plants, water works, sewer systems, harbor improvements, agriculture and mineral exploitation. At the same time capital has req sons for feeling safer-there. Four-fifths of South America have been without serious revo- lutions during the last fifteen years and the prospects for continued peace are on the whole encouraging. Imports to all of Latin America during 1908 amounted to $1 ,084, ,4S302l. There was positive gain in the exports over the fig ures of 1907, bringing up the contraction of the import trade, as compared with 1907, to $l07,- 043,S54. In the total of the years trade for Latin America the share of the United States was $46S 6,455, as compared with $55S,279 20l in 1907. Unfavorable economic conditions caused the shrinkage of trade in 1908. These are passing. The time is opportune for organ ized effort to extend the trade of the United States throughout the markets of Central and South America. Ii is possible to realize to an appreciable extent the anticipated commercial benefit to this country by the opening of the isthmian canal.

National Military Panics.

An officer of the Italian artillery was arrest ed by Italian frontier guards the other day merely because being in civilian garb, he was unknown, spoke the language fuently, and had Ia pair of field glasses. The incident caused ridicule, but it illustrates the military tension in armed Europe. But only recently England was pervaded with dread of German invasion, and France was agitated by the bugaboo of German spies These panics seem the more singular, since in these days of communication and publicity, all the essential facts bearing on a nation defensive or offensive preparations are known to the rest of the world immediately. At every capital are assembled military experts of the powers with no other function than to keep their governments fully informed on these subjects, and the details which they do not find out, it is safe to say. are not worth finding out

HoU to Tell He Pole.

How can an explorer tell when he reaches the North Pole! The sun moves apparently in a circle about the horizon But the observer, knowing the longitude by which he approached, and having the Greenwich time by his chro- nometer would have simply to take, with his sextant, repeated observations through the day, recording the altitude of the sun above the hor- izon, it's bearing with reference to the magnetic pole, and the precise time. If no level horizon were available, the image of the sun in a dish of mercury gives a substitute, and if mercury is disturbed by vibration, leveed mirror has been found to give fair results. The closeness of the measurement would depend partly on the experience of the observer but in some degree also on atmospheric conditions. But series of reasonably good observations of the sun at different points on the horizon should leave lit tie room for serious error
