IN WOMAN'S REALM.

It is Not So Forever.
What though none heed your singing:
What though more mark your song!
Would you have silence clnglng
To your lips overlong?
The sunlight dances over
The desert bleak and bare,
As we'll as where the clover
Is sMeetening the air.
The wild rose f1aunts its beauty
Where none may ever see
so is the hopeless duty
Performed by you and me-
The patient grass climbs yearly
The tracklesS mountalnSlde-
Our eyes may not see clearly,
Our vision is not wide.
What though the world go blindly
Before the work you do.
What though it turn unkindly
All deaf to words from you?
The winds blow on, uncaring,
For seas that know no sails;
And shir3 go boldly faring
Where never ship has halls.
IT is not so forever
The desert blooms at last
The roses scent is never
All purposelesSly cast;
A pilgrim climbs the mountain.
Rejoicing when he nears
The lone life-S saving fountain
That FLASHED through all the years.
So, heart of mine, be merry;
Go singing on your way
Your gladnesS do not bur-.
In disappointlnentS gray.
For songs are worth the singing
So long as hearts may beat.
And all the years are bringing
The tread of dancing feet.

THE SPICE OF LIFE.
TIE Man Who LAUGHED

The Man Who Laughed.
Somebody told him if he laughed
The world with him would SMILE
And so he undertook to chaff
In a persistent style.
lie laughed when on the street you slipped
And saw great painful stars;
He laughed when scared pedestrians
skipped
in front of trolley cars.
He laughed to hear each tale of woe
Fen though your tears might fall;
He laughed at folks who couldn't 80
To see the game of ball;
Until at last his friends broke in
Upon his manners lax
And every time he dared to grin
They hit him with an axe!

Detective Frank Wood was walking
up Prospect avenue last summer, when
he was halted by a merchant, who led
the popular policeman into a hallway
and looked him over from head to foot
Wood wore duck trousers, a lily white
vest with pearl buttons, a navy blue cut
away coat, ox-blood shoes, purple era
vat, a soft hat of some delicate texture
and in his left hand he swung and
twisted a cane.
After the merchant had completed his
survey and started away, Wood asked
somewhat petulantly:
"Well, sir, what does all this mean?'

How Gage Was Spared.

The stories of ruptures in the cab
,.set which are being much circulated
lately bring to mind the fact that Lyman
J. Gage was nearly driven out of the
Mckinley cabinet by newspaper reports.
After Mr.. Gage had been in the cab
met for a time an influential paper APP
peared with persistent reports that Pres
ident Mckinley wanted to get rid of
Gage, but had found no way to let him
know the fact delicately.
One story after another of that sort
appeared until finally Gage one morning
picked up a clipping telling how McKin-
ley wanted him out and Immediately
thrust it into an envelope with a note in
which he said:
'Mr. President, if you want me to
leave the cabinet you need not go to the
newspapers to tell rne so.''
Mr.. Gage was about to seal up the
envelope and address it to the white
house when he showed it to a close
friend. who told him not to send it and
that President Mckinley knew nothing
of the stories of retirement. Gage took
the advice, tore up the note and envelope
and saved what would have unquestion-
ably been break in the cabinet.-Wash-
ington Times.
